I've been eyeing that rack at Ballard for a while now, wondering what the best way would be to make one. The crib rail is perfect. The whole thing looks amazing!
Chantel says
Thanks for the link to your drying rack. I'm sorry I didn't see it before. I think I could spend days and days just looking through your blog alone. You are so incredibly creative and I am getting such great inspiration from you. We are building a house and I just can't wait to get to work on some projects (in between all the stuff that comes with 4 kids (one of them a 10 week old baby). 🙂

Miss-tearious says
Wow! I really want to make one of these, but I honestly doubt my skills. 🙁
You are SO talented!
Miss Mustard Seed says
I love that project! It reminds me of the old drying racks from the 1940's and 50's that every good housewife had in her kitchen. You did a great job on the knock-off.

Julie G. says
Brilliant!! Our HOA does not "allow" clothes lines, and I've seen the drying racks, but thought they wouldn't hold jeans or anything like that. But..I bet the crib slats would!! I am going to try making one (or two) and hanging them on my fence. No one will see them because they won't be above the fence line, and if someone asks…I'll have them closes and say..clothesline? what clothesline? Thanks for the tutorial!!
Michelle says
So cool! I just love this!

To blog, or not to blog. That is the question...
Published by NaCl in the blog NaCl's blog. Views: 117
I hate Shakespeare. Force fed Hamlet at the tender age of fifteen, cajoled into reading Taming of the Shrew, and held captive by an English teacher, as she droned her favorite passages from Romeo and Juliet in a gaudy, fake-British accent (sounded like a cross between Cockney and South Boston Irish Brogue). It seemed the Bard of Avon wrote specifically to annoy me...just me...it was personal. A few girls in the class feigned interest, while guys stealthily mimicked human gastric sounds, much to the delight of the terminally bored. When Mrs. M...I use only her last initial to avoid liability...when the old English teacher asked one of the worst students why he bothered to bring his Shakespeare book to class, he replied, "Good question," and promptly tossed the book out the open, second story window.
What the Hell does disdain for Shakespeare have to do with blogging?
This is my first ever blog. I admit responding to a couple blogs in the past, but blog-virgin aptly describes my level of experience, so please, be gentle with me.
Shakespeare, like blogging, causes me to ponder, "What's the big deal?" His works, of which I have the entire collection in my personal library...they make awesome bookends for stuff I really do read...but blogs seem to serve only one purpose. They exist so somebody can say they wrote something that nobody will ever want to read...bingo! Shakespeare! Now I get it.
So it occurred to me, my "blog" would stand, perhaps forever, as a towering tribute to...to...uh...nothing. Page after page of uncensored ramblings with no limit...no theme...no grade by a holier-than-thou English teacher...just my thoughts...and the distant memory-echo of Mrs. M, grinding Juliet's words into an unreceptive mind..."O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?"...this blog of mine serves no purpose...never knew Shakespeare and I had so much in common.
Nevertheless, blogging carries some mystique, a kind of religious, nerd-knighthood in today's internet world. Personal dignity demands my blog stand up to casual scrutiny by those few unfortunate soles who stumble into my mind's playpen. Do I stain my reputation with the waste byproducts of uncensored honesty? Should I deluge viewers with Shakespeare-like monotony, hoping Mrs. M will finally cast down approval from her heavenly class full of bored angels? Truth is, I don't know what the Hell to do with this venue. So here goes. No preparation. No research. Not even the slightest idea how to "blog", yet, here it is...my first ever blog (read it with a proper British accent...might add a slight touch of cockney for the low-end crowd):
To blog, or not to blog. That is the bloody question.
Whether tis nobler in blogdom to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous ignominy,
Or to strike the keyboard against a sea of nerds,
And by opposing, offend them. To write. To blog.
No more. And by a blog-post to say we end
the heartache and the thousand natural schlocks
that the internet is heir to, tis a...
Who'm I kidding. Nobody read this far...LOL

Configuring a Custom Domain
Utilizing custom domains allows you to create a memorable URL for your AdvocateHub. It makes the experience of visiting more seamless. Allowing advocates to navigate to 'advocates.yourcompany.com' or 'vip.yourcompany.com' creates a branded experience.
As a general rule, this custom domain should be a subdomain of your company's domain - e.g. http://hub.mydomain.com (where hub is the subdomain).
Important Information
- When logged in as an administrator, your custom domain will not be visible. You will always see the *.influitive.com domain.
- Advocates will be directed to the *.influitive.com for the login and sign up pages. Once logged in, they will always see your custom domain.
Ask your IT department for help
Once you decide on a custom domain URL, speak with your IT department. They will need to add your AdvocateHub's nickname as the DNS record in the form of a CNAME record.
Your IT department should also be advised that A records are strongly discouraged, as the IP address that your Influitive app is hosted on will change. Your IT department should also know that the TTL is best suited to be set at 15 minutes.
Setting up a custom domain on your AdvocateHub
Once your custom domain is setup by your IT team, visit your custom domain settings.Head to Settings> Advocate Program > Custom Domain.
Next, enter your custom domain URL in the text area. Please note that you should not include http:// or www when entering your custom domain URL. An example URL to enter is 'thisisright.yourcompanyhere.com'.
Can I use a root domain as a custom domain? i.e. myadvocatecommunity.com
The short answer is, no you shouldn't.
The long answer is; you can but there are technical restrictions which complicate the matter. If you create a root domain (i.e. example.com, as opposed to a subdomain, hub.example.com), that domain can't be used for anything else, including email). To set up a custom domain, you will need to add a CNAME record to the domain, and when a CNAME is present no other records should be present (i.e. MX, NS, etc).

|Question: I have setup a CINET network and everything works OK except for the trends. What could be causing this problem?
|Trend displays uses the greatest amount of
network traffic because many thousand variables must be transferred
from the trend server to the client (to display the trends).
Because of this, any problem will be likely to show up first with
the trend displays. The trends may not display correctly if the
CINET is not installed correctly or the network is overloaded.
Make sure the network buffers are tuned correctly, see Q1131 for details. This will fix most problems with the installation of CINET.
You may be overloading the network with too much data. This can happen if the baud rate is too low, or the trends have too much data. Each sample point you display on a trend takes 2 bytes of network traffic plus extra protocol overhead. If you have 8 pens x 300 samples x 4 trends, you would have around 20k of network data. At 9600 baud, it would take over 20 seconds to transfer the data.
You should try to run CINET at the fastest possible baud rate.
You can also reduce the trend data by changing the trend display. The standard trend templates display a large amount of samples, pens and trends. You may want to create your own trend template that uses less samples (eg display 100 samples, rather than 300 - this will give 3 times better performance). You can also reduce the number of pens on the same trends, (display one or two pens rather than eight), and reduce the number of trends on the page (display one trend rather than 4).

Mining For BronzeMining For Bronze
Catching prize smallmouths can be a snap if you can predict their pattern.
By David Hart
Arguably, bass are bass. Whether it's a smallmouth in a high east Tennessee reservoir or a smallmouth in a sprawling New England lake, these fish behave in the same general manner. They migrate to shallow water in the spring, back out to deeper water in the summer and then invade the shallows again as the water cools and winter approaches. Of course, various factors alter their daily routines and no two lakes are identical. Still, a smallmouth in Alabama's Pickwick Reservoir responds to water temperature, the presence of bait and the urge to spawn much the same way as a smallmouth in Lake Champlain.
Picking off a limit of fat smallmouths isn't that difficult, say three of the country's top professional anglers. It's as simple as following a few basic tenets of seasonal patterns.
During the earliest part of the season, Connecticut pro Terry Baksay narrows his search for spring smallmouths to one general area - the north end of a lake or a cove. Such areas are slightly warmer than the rest of the water and that draws baitfish and smallmouths from a long distance.
"If there is a southern wind, the warmer surface water will be pushed against the north bank and if there is a cold northerly wind, a north bank will be protected and it will warm up faster. You can be sure that every smallmouth in the area will be on the north bank in the spring," he explains. "It's not as hard as people make it out to be."
During the early spring period, Baksay says that larger smallmouths are feeding heavily on yellow perch, which have just finished spawning and are most vulnerable to predators. That's why he reaches for lures with either a gold or perch pattern on them. One of his favorites is a No. 14 suspending Husky Jerk. It's a big lure - 5 ½ inches - but Baksay prefers to throw a large lure in order to target the biggest bass. He'll even use a No. 18 Rapala, particularly on windy days and when the fish are most active. Such a lure - that model is 7 inches - grabs the attention of the largest bass in the area.
"The fish seem to be oriented to looking up for food rather than on the bottom in the pre-spawn period. I just don't do very good on tubes and other bottom-hugging baits in the early spring," he explains. "It's also important to remember that the fish tend to be schooled up this time of year. That's another reason I like fishing a jerkbait. It allows me to cover lots of water because some areas just don't have any fish and then all the sudden, you'll be into a whole bunch of them."
He looks for these fish in 5 to 10 feet of water, but adds that they might be suspended at that depth over much deeper water. His jerkbait tactic works no matter where the fish are, however, so he tends to cover lots of water throughout those northern coves and bays until he figures out where the bass are that particular day.
Baksay's north bank pattern lasts well into the spring, but as the water approaches the low 50s, the fish tend to scatter as they search for suitable spawning habitat. The veteran pro believes that the majority of smallmouths tend to spawn on the main lake, not in the backs of coves like many other anglers think, so he'll put his trolling motor on high and work his way down the shoreline hunting for fish.
He searches all over a lake for spawning bass, but notes that smallmouths have a few basic needs for bedding. Besides the obvious - a sand or gravel bottom - Baksay looks for isolated stumps or rocks, anything the fish can utilize as cover.
"Smallmouths like to spawn against anything they can put their backs to. The bigger fish spawn first, and they generally spawn deeper than smaller bass. I've seen them in as little as 4 or 5 feet of water in stained lakes and as deep as 20 feet in real clear lakes," he notes.
Bedding smallmouths are arguably the easiest fish to catch. When they lock on their beds, they rarely leave, and they slash at anything that comes in, over or past their nests. Baksay relies on a handful of lures including tubes, soft jerkbaits and Zara Spooks.
"One of my favorite lures for bedding bass is a white or bubblegum Slug-Go," he says. "I'll throw it over the bed and just let it fall. The bright color helps me detect light bites and when the lure disappears, I know she's got it."
Anglers that stick to a shallow-water pattern as the water heats up will likely be throwing lures to empty water, says Arkansas pro Mark Rose. The veteran tournament angler typically backs off to deeper water when he searches for summer smallmouths, but he admits that there are instances when you can find some shallow fish in the dog days of summer.
"Current. If you have some current, you can find some real nice bass in shallow water. It doesn't matter if it's a river influence, tailrace or power plant drawing water, if you can find good current you can find some shallow smallmouths. Those shallow fish will be easier to find and catch than deep bass," he says.
Rose also likes overcast days, an event that brings baitfish up toward the surface with smallmouths in tow. According to the full-time pro, smallmouths tend to gather in schools on such days and will often take a topwater lure like a Strike King Spittin' Shad or a soft-plastic jerkbait.
Most of the time, however, Rose, along with anglers throughout smallmouth country, are faced with the prospect of getting a lure down to fish holding in as much as 30 feet of water, even more. While that may seem like an enormous task, it's not out of the question to have a great day when the surface temperature soars.
"I'm going to look for deep rocky points, bluff-type points, sharp drop-offs and shady bluffs," says Rose. "My favorite summer baits include Carolina-rigged French fries and centipedes, Strike King Series 6 crankbaits and drop-shot rigs. My favorite lure for summer drop-shotting is a Strike King Bitsy Tube."
Typically, he says, smallmouths will hang on the sides of points, particularly main lake points near a river channel.
Baksay will target humps and drop-offs with watermelon tubes rigged on 3/8-ounce jig heads. And like Rose, he also uses drop-shot rigs. Baksay prefers a 3-inch, salt-and-pepper Slug-Go.
Both pros agree that if they aren't catching fish, a simple change in location may be all it takes to find active bass.
"They can bunch up in the summer, and I've found that they often school up by size. My son and I had a great day on a nearby lake during the early summer season by throwing Zara Spooks and white Fin-S soft jerkbaits to a long point in 30 to 40 feet of water. The fish were suspended and were coming up to the surface. We caught 60 fish in about four hours. My best five probably weighed 19 pounds, and his best five went about 21 pounds," he recalls.
Mike Iaconelli offers no hesitation when asked to choose his favorite season to chase smallmouths.
"Fall," he says. "I've won a lot of tournaments on smallmouth lakes in the fall. It's absolutely my favorite time to fish any lake that has a lot of smallmouths. It doesn't matter if it's Lake St. Clair, Champlain, Thousand Islands or even a southern smallmouth reservoir, the fish all do pretty much the same thing, and you can really load up on big fish."
The key to catching a single smallmouth when the leaves fade from vibrant green to a rich assortment of reds, golds and oranges is to locate baitfish. Since baitfish - shad, alewives, ciscoes or smelt - migrate with the seasons, smallmouths will follow.
"Smallmouths become very predictable in the fall. They know that lean times are coming up and they want to feed as heavily as they can before winter sets in. If you find bait in the fall, you can be sure that smallmouths are near," Iaconelli explains.
His tactics are pretty straightforward and he relies on a handful of baits to put a limit of fat smallmouths in his livewell just about all the time in September and October. Before he picks up a rod, before he even backs his boat into the water, Iaconelli studies a map and looks for a few critical ingredients.
He likes shallow shelves adjacent to deeper water, particularly flats that drop sharply. He also likes rocky humps and shoals, particularly those with patches of grass growing among the rocks. Although the fish will be in a variety of depths, he generally finds them in 8 to 12 feet of water in the fall.
"The best fall areas are similar to the best spots in the spring," Iaconelli adds.
Once he finds those areas, the New Jersey resident reaches for a 3/4-ounce Mann's Ti Classic spinnerbait, a Mann's crankbait or a bright-colored hard jerkbait like a clown-colored Bomber Long A. Each of these lures allows him to cover a lot of water quickly. That's important, he notes, because smallmouths gather in big schools - as many as 50 fish - leaving many areas completely void of bass. With a spinnerbait, crankbait or jerkbait, he can cover an area in one or two passes to determine if any bass are around, but he modifies his heavy spinnerbaits by replacing the factory blades with smaller blades. That allows him to burn the lure just under the surface. Larger blades tend to pull the lure to the top as it is retrieved faster, but Iaconelli insists that it is important to keep the lure just under the surface.
"During a major tournament on Champlain one fall, I threw a Long A to a flat and caught about a 2-pounder. As I got it close to the boat, I could see this black cloud following it. It was a huge school of 2- to 4-pound smallmouths," Iaconelli recalled.
He won that tournament not by throwing the Long A exclusively, but by utilizing follow-up lures to target those fish that weren't interested in chasing a fast-moving bait. Follow-up patterns are vital to catching more fish from an area, and Iaconelli typically throws a soft-plastic tube to work an area slowly and thoroughly.
Although northern bass anglers have to rely on an ice augur to target smallmouths in the winter, recreational bass anglers throughout the South can chase these fish right through the coldest months of the year. Jerry Farmer, a guide, tournament angler and partner in a boat dealership in Bristol, Tenn., heads for his favorite east Tennessee lakes every chance he can get. And more than likely, he's going to catch some fish.
"The fish will suspend over structure like a point or hump or they will suspend next to a bluff wall or a ledge. The more irregular the features the better, it seems," Farmer says.
One of the best baits for catching reservoir smallmouths in the winter is a float n' fly, a simple rig that consists of nothing more than a small hair or feather jig, or "fly," and a small bobber. Farmer uses this tactic all winter and catches some impressive stringers of smallmouths.
The float n' fly allows the small jig, which imitates a small shad, to hang among or slightly above suspended bass - those that aren't willing to chase a fast-moving bait or aren't close enough to the bottom to pick up a jig or tube. Farmer uses a long rod, a 9- or 10-footer, and places his jig anywhere from 8- to 15-feet below the bobber. He allows the bait to sit still for 10 or 15 seconds before he reels it in and casts it to another spot.
Smallmouth bass may stump the country's best professional anglers from time to time, but not very often. Why not? Rose, Baksay and Iaconelli agree that no matter where you fish for them, smallmouths are fairly predictable. Follow these seasonal tips and you'll catch some quality bass.

The cultural models in international business research: A bibliometric study of IB journals
Culture has been a widely researched topic in the International Business (IB) literature over the last decades. To better understand what culture actually means and its implication in firms? IB operations, several cultural models and taxonomies have been put forward. In this paper we seek to scrutinize the use of three well known cultural models - Hall?s (1976), Hofstede?s (1980a) and Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner?s (1993) - in the extant research. Using bibliometric techniques of the papers published in the top ranked IB journals, we performed a citation and co-citation analysis to find out the most influential model and to examine the possible linkages between models and to the issues being researched. We conclude that Hofstede?s (1980a) taxonomy is the most cited and his taxonomy has strong linkages to several streams of research. Nonetheless, we also find that there are noticeable differences on how research in different journals make use of the cultural models, probably reflecting not surprising disciplinary emphases.

Bit Surprising but Great stat on Douzable:
Douzable was number one in terms of tackles, sacks & total pressure for all 3-4 DEs with less than 250 snaps on the year.
Id like to see us use a good portion of our cap money on locking down our DL with higher roster bonuses than normal so we dont start mortgaging future cap money. Snacks is extremely good.
Now if the secondary can hold up their end of the deal it's gonna be very hard to score against the Jets.
Can't wait to see what Idzik does with all these picks and cap room!
We will need to be concerned about how to pay all of these studs. Don't get me wrong, it is a good problem to have but it will be a problem.
We all know it but is Snacks even better than we think
Yogi Berra is starting threads on the strip?
Snacks will have to play one more season at an elite level before we sign him to a big deal. Plus we still have Ellis. We'll pay one of them, I don't think we can afford both. Wilk needs to be paid ASAP. The longer we wait the more money we'll have to pay...

- PHUKB will NOT make the decision on behalf of members. All 180 buyers MUST MAKE A COLLECTIVE DECISION.
- We would like to advice if members are approached by developer to discuss this matter directly with the purchaser, please ask them to work through PHUKB. This is to ensure that all purchasers are compensated using the same basis.
- Our plan currently is to get as much information from developers and we will meet the purchasers and present the various proposals.
Our goal is that all matters related to UKB which include refund must be settled before July 2011.
- We have received calls from members requesting our advice as real estate agents are now asking the purchasers to sell their units as they claim they have ready buyers.
We would like to inform that:
- The FINAL decision lies with purchasers and PHUKB will not participate in the decision making process.
- The fact that agents are coming in suggest that they know that the project will be completed soon.
- Purchasers have waited a long time and have incurred cost. To get a better price, it is better to wait till completion. For those who cannot wait, we hope that they will do a proper calculation into their cost and price their house accordingly.
- The FINAL decision lies with purchasers and PHUKB will not participate in the decision making process.

[Insert Random Emo Song Title Here]
I'm an English major again.
I don't know what I was thinking by changing my major so many fucking times.
Well, I was thinking about money.
Money & what other people thought.
Everyone told me English degrees are pointless if you don't want to teach (I don't).
So, I switched to social work after visiting a career counselor.
Then everyone told me social work sucks, it doesn't pay, & I'll be miserable & burned out within a year of working.
So, I switched to psychology.
Then I realized what a fucking moron I am.
So, I went back to social work again.
My depression has been off the chain lately.
After going back to majoring in sociology, I was constantly on the edge of having a psychotic break.
I didn't show up to half of my classes.
I didn't pay attention in the classes I did show up to.
And I didn't give a shit if I passed or failed.
Truth be told, I'm gonna be 24 next week, & I'm so physically & mentally exhausted by college, at this point, I'd probably be willing to turn tricks for a degree.
The only thing that I've ever felt good about is my writing.
Seriously, the only thing.
Why I thought I could get away with doing anything else for the rest of my life, I have no idea.
I was trying to fool myself.
And I failed.
Pretty miserably, actually.
Thank God.
So, next semester, I'm back to doing what I love more than anything.
My excitement is unreal.
I can go back to being the person people envy in class.
The person who everyone wants to partner up with rather than avoid because I don't know what the hell is going on.
Literally, the only thing I want to do with the rest of my life is write & go to shows.
And eat.
That's it.
If I drop the ball on this one, I'm dropping out of college, moving to Oregon & changing my name to some sort of flower.
I could work in a coffee shop out there, or something.
Hell, I'd probably fuck that up too.
This is the last time I ever switch majors.
This is the last time I ever second guess my ability to make a living doing something I actually enjoy.
If I can just make it through this final semester of being a soc major, I'll be home free.
This is gonna work out.
It has to.

SK, MSR and Angioplasty Media Present at ArtsRiot
Lady Lamb
The Ballroom Thieves, Paper Castles
400 Pine St
Burlington, VT, 05401
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 8:30 PM (event ends at 2:00 AM)
This event is all ages
Lady Lamb (aka Aly Spaltro) will release her "Tender Warriors Club" EP this December 1st via Mom+Pop in conjunction with an upcoming solo, acoustic Living Room Tour.
Written between her original hometown of Maine, current hometown of Brooklyn, Portugal and in a home studio in rural Sweden, where she also recorded the EP, "Tender Warriors Club" is Spaltro's attempt to focus on intimacy and vulnerability, both musically and thematically.
"These songs served as a path for myself that making a conscious effort to stay tender, and be kind and patient towards myself when handling my own fears is the most fruitful way to maneuver them in personal relationships. Tender Warriors Club is not just a collection of songs. It is meant to serve as an emblematic space for people to relate in the shared interest of emotional vulnerability, using music as the collective form of self-expression. It is my hope that this work and concept can be a reminder to both myself and others to find the courage to remain sensitive through emotional challenges. I'd like to bring these themes into intimate spaces musically, without amplification or a traditional stage, as a means to connect through the aforementioned concept that striving to express oneself with tenderness is ultimately a strength."both fear and love: internally and externally, before and after.
Rock disguised as folk. In January 2012 The Ballroom Thieves broke into the Boston scene with a five-song, foot-stomping EP entitled The Devil & The Deep. Since their debut release the trio has captivated audiences with their unique instrumentation and dazzling three-part vocal harmonies. In the span of just one year they have performed at over 50 colleges nationwide, shared the stage with established acts such as Dispatch, The Lone Bellow, Little Green Cars, and Houndmouth, and played to sold-out crowds at the The Sinclair, Great Scott and the historic Club Passim in Cambridge, MA.
The Ballroom Thieves consistently deliver inspiring live performances highlighted by the group's infectious passion and raw energy, which are unrivaled in the local acoustic music scene. The sonic diversity of their growing repertoire allows the band to entrance an intimate listening room one night and entertain a large festival crowd the next.

Separate trade statistics for sea cucumbers are only available for the first ten months of 2012, but these indicate that exports to mainland China and Hong Kong combined hit nearly $21 million. Exports, however, could be greater, as the inherent value of U.S. sea cucumbers as a wild-caught and natural product are not currently reflected in their pricing in Chinese markets. Efforts to improve processing in the U.S., and to make buyers aware of the value of wild-caught sea cucumbers could add significantly to their value. A Brief Primer on Sea Cucumbers Sea cucumbers are echinoderms, in the same family of creatures as starfish. They have long bodies with many protruding points, hereafter referred to as needles, and a life expectancy of 9-10 years. Of the 100,000 plus species available worldwide, only about 40 of these are consumed by humans; the major regions of the world in which consumable sea cucumbers may be found are China, South East Asia, Northwest United States, Mexico, and Europe. Since the Ming Dynasty (FAO), the Chinese have harvested and eaten sea cucumbers, with the earliest recorded trade of sea cucumbers beginning in the 16th century. The Chinese believe sea cucumbers to have many health benefits, including having high protein and low fat, believed aphrodisiac qualities, and the ability to ease joint pain. As a result, buyers are willing to pay up to $100/lb or more for quality product. Sea cucumbers are considered a delicacy in Chinese cuisine because of the believed health benefits and unique texture. While flavorless, they do soak up the flavor of sauces and seasonings used when cooking dishes. Different species of wild and cultivated sea cucumbers exist all over the world. In the United States, the most harvested are the Alaskan Red sea cucumber and the Boston tigerskin, while in Asia, the most common species are the sandfish, the black teatfish, and the white teatfish. However, after centuries of harvesting and dramatic increases in price and demand, most sea cucumbers in China are now the products of aquaculture farms. These farms are primarily Liaoning and Shandong provinces and generally focus on a few species. Cultivated sea cucumbers typically grow for two years before being harvested. Due to high demand, China also imports sea cucumbers from around the world- particularly from the United States, Europe, and Mexico. China imports wild Alaskan Red sea cucumbers from the U.S., as well as a much smaller volume of Boston tigerskin. Wild sea cucumbers grow in about 100- Salted, half-dried sea cucumbers 300 meters of water, for about 6 to 10 years. Their cultivated bretheren, on the other hand, grown in only 10 meters of water and are harvested quickly, typically in two years. The species, quality, taste, and appearance of the sea cucumbers vary by place of origin. For example, trade sources advise that sea cucumbers in Europe and Mexico tend to have a sandier and more bitter taste than those from China. However, the taste and meat of the U.S. wild red Alaskan sea cucumber is very similar to that of the Chinese, making it ideally suited to the Chinese market. Contrary to other seafood categories in China, where wild caught products command a premium, Chinese consumers tend to prefer Chinese cultivated sea cucumbers due to the greater size, uniformity in size, higher grade, larger number of needles on the body, and uniform small cut. Much of this is a reflection of the cultivated origin of the Chinese product, and the consumer's tendency to judge quality based on appearance. The number of needles on the body is of particular importance, as this is associated in consumers' minds with greater nutritional/nutraceutical value (there are no studies to support this). However, this attitude may be open to change, as wild caught seafood commands a substantial premium in other categories, being seen as more natural and healthier. There are also regional preferences for sea cucumbers. For example, coastal regions tend to eat more sea cucumbers than inland regions; furthermore, the north tends to consume more than the south. Harvesting & Exporting Sea Cucumbers Sea cucumbers are extremely perishable; they need to be picked, eviscerated, boiled, and processed within hours of harvesting. The removal of the intestines immediately after harvesting is particularly important as the sea cucumber will disintegrate otherwise. According to Chinese standards, the cut should be done uniformly in one place and should be as small as possible. However, in the United States, this practice is not standardized, lowering the market value of the U.S. product in Chinese markets. After the harvest and removal of intestines, sea cucumbers are boiled, salted, and frozen before being shipped to China, where they are reprocessed. After boiling, only about 30% of the sea cucumbers are in condition to move onto the next processing stage. Some cucumbers may not be salted in the United States as the processing cost is higher in the U.S. than in China. In this case, the product is just boiled and frozen in the USA, then salted in China when they are reprocessed. Whether in the United States or in China, sea cucumbers have to be salted before being reprocessed. Because fresh sea cucumbers may only be stored for about 8 hours, most importers ship salted, half dried sea cucumbers to China in frozen containers. Some, however, import completely dried sea cucumbers. Once in China, the half dried, salted sea cucumbers are kept in cold storage (-20˚ C) and have a two year shelf life. Exporters may only harvest sea cucumbers in a very limited time frame; the harvest season in the Alaska and Seattle regions is from September to November. After the harvest season is over, importers store sea cucumbers in cold storage plants to be sold throughout the year. Sea Cucumber Trade & Entry into the Market: Precise trade numbers for sea cucumbers are difficult to calculate, as much of the trade moves through Hong Kong. In addition, until 2012, sea cucumbers were included in several categories of "other' aquatic invertebrates. However, comparison the initial data for sea cucumbers with three categories of 'other marine invertebrates' indicates that most of this category was likely comprised of sea cucumbers. (Note that the comparison holds for total trade only, however, as the categories have been changed. The bulk of trade was in salted, half-dried products, leaving confusion as to whether these were "prepared and preserved" or "dried" in the old classification system). According to those interviewed for this report, importers typically import fresh or frozen, half dried, salted sea cucumbers into China. Completely dry sea cucumbers are not popular to export to China for several reasons. First, the skin is ugly; second, these sea cucumbers are more troublesome to use for restaurants and hotels as they need to soak in water for an extremely long time before being prepared; and third, consumers cannot see the size difference, as dried sea cucumbers have a pretty uniform size. Half dried sea cucumbers, on the other hand, are much easier to use. Some importers prefer to import fresh frozen sea cucumbers (i.e. not salted) because, according to them, they are more convenient for the Chinese to grade. China grades sea cucumbers based on their size, cut, and length; thus, this fares better for Chinese cultivated sea cucumbers than U.S. wild ones because of the non- uniform cutting habits, and uneven length and size of wild grown seafood. Currently the U.S. sea cucumber market share in China is very low, but the potential is extremely high. Experts interviewed for this report estimate annual imports of sea cucumbers from the U.S. to China (including Hong Kong) to be 1000 tons. The price of U.S. sea cucumbers has greatly increased from 2008 until now, with an annual growth rate of about 10%-15%. In fact, in 2008, the price was around $10-12 USD per pound (pound of salted, half dried sea cucumbers), while in December 2011, the price was $38 USD/ lb. Furthermore, since the 2011 China International Seafood Show, the price of U.S. imported sea cucumbers has grown by 30%; however, this is not the best situation for importers, as the total volume sold decreased due to the high price. One of the importers interviewed, however, stated that their total sales volume of sea cucumbers increased from last year; they sold 40 metric tons of sea cucumbers last year, whereas this year, they will be selling 80-100 metric tons. The price has recently begun to level off because some consumers opt to either not eat sea cucumbers or choose to eat sea cucumbers imported from other countries. For example, many consumers opted to eat Mexican imported sea cucumbers, which, although of a different species that is generally viewed as lower in quality, can still substitute for red Alaskan sea cucumbers. Thus, sea cucumbers are proving to be more price elastic than previously believed. For most consumers, using substitutes is generally not a problem because after cooking the sea cucumber, while there is a difference in taste, there is not much of a difference in appearance. In general, the market for sea cucumbers is segmented into a high and low end market. The high end market targets five star hotels, restaurants, etc. Sea cucumber dishes in this market are typically served as individual portions and are priced in the range of 500 RMB per person per portion. In these dishes, the consumer can see the length and size of the whole sea cucumber. Sea cucumbers used in this market face strong competition from sea cucumbers imported from Japan and Chinese cultivated sea cucumbers. These are usually of a larger, more uniform size and length and also have more needles than their American Serving Suggestion counterparts. The low end market, on the other hand, uses larger dishes which feature chopped-up sea cucumbers mixed in with other ingredients. The consumer cannot see the size of the individual sea cucumber. Thus, U.S. wild Red Alaskan sea cucumbers are often used for these dishes, but Chinese cultivated sea cucumbers may also be used. Restaurants will choose whether to use Chinese cultivated sea cucumbers or U.S. imported ones based on the dish they are serving. Entry into the sea cucumber market is extremely difficult and takes a lot of work; to get started, importers typically bring samples to trade shows to promote their products to potential buyers. While difficult to get started, the sea cucumber market may nonetheless be a fruitful market in which to partake as there is not that much competition between domestic sea cucumbers and the imported U.S. sea cucumber market. This is because the volume/ market share of imported sea cucumbers is very small. Moreover, there is not much competition from sea cucumbers from South Asia as such sea cucumbers are very cheap and have a very limited market in China. Shipment U.S. conservation programs limit the harvest and shipment of sea cucumbers. Sea cucumber imports typically enter China in one of three ways: directly into mainland China- usually to the port of Qingdao; second, via transit through Hong Kong; or third, via transit through Vietnam. Direct shipment to mainland China or transiting through Hong Kong (which connects to ports in Shenzhen or Guangzhou) has around a 10% import duty with a 13% Value Added Tax (VAT), totaling to about 24.5% tax. Some importers have found that transiting through Vietnam can decrease the percentage of taxes paid due to a Chinese-Vietnamese trade agreement. While import tax rates for all species of sea cucumbers are the same, the value amount that importers pay is based on the import tax rate and the declared value, which differs between different species of sea cucumbers. China Customs offices are becoming more alert to these differences, and double-checking with other entry ports to make sure that the declared value of the sea cucumber matches its actual value. Processing Once in China, sea cucumbers need to be re-processed before being able to be sold to other wholesalers or consumers. Processing technology and marketing are the keys to making the sea cucumber business profitable, as the value and quality of the sea cucumber is based on a combination of the raw material quality and the processing technology. For example, Japanese sea cucumbers, due to Japan's higher processing technology, have a greater value than their U.S. counterparts. These Japanese sea cucumbers are very small after being processed; however, when the chef uses them for cooking, they can expand to 6 or 7 times their original size, whereas the Alaskan sea cucumber can only expand to 1 to 2 times its original size. Moreover, they are able to be unsalted because of their more innovative processing technology. Market Development Knowledge of U.S. sea cucumbers among Chinese buyers is extremely limited, requiring a considerable investment in education in order to market them effectively. The limited marketing that takes place for U.S. sea cucumbers is concentrated on high-end hotels and malls; nonetheless, there is still a lack of promotion for U.S. sea cucumbers- especially of the facts that U.S. sea cucumbers are wild caught and grow for a longer period of time than do Chinese cultivated sea cucumbers. Focusing on these two points could add to the value of the U.S. product, due to Chinese consumers' natural predilection for wild product – at present, the U.S. product tends to be regarded as lower quality due to the lack of uniformity, and gets little credit for being wild-caught. There is a movement towards standardizing the cutting and removal of intestines of sea cucumbers in the United States. This will increase the value of the sea cucumber: marketing promotion and education exercises to highlight this would help to increase demand for U.S. sea cucumbers and improve the overall perceptions of product quality. There still is a gap between domestic sea cucumber sales and those of the U.S. because Chinese consumers prefer and trust domestic (cultivated) sea cucumbers to those imported from the United States. While education and market promotion are quickly changing this perception, importers still need to spend time marketing and educating their consumers about the merits of U.S. imported sea cucumbers.

Medications for Breast Cancer
NYU Langone physicians may use chemotherapy, hormone medications, and targeted therapies to manage breast cancer.
NYU Langone physicians may use chemotherapy, hormone medications, and targeted therapies to manage breast cancer.
Chemotherapy drugs destroy cancer cells throughout the body. These medications may be used before surgery to shrink tumors, or after surgery to reduce the chance of a recurrence. Sometimes chemotherapy is given if the cancer has spread throughout the body.
Using chemotherapy before surgery to help shrink breast cancer tumors may enable a woman to have a lumpectomy, in which the tumor and a border of healthy surrounding tissue are removed, instead of a mastectomy.
Giving chemotherapy after surgery helps to destroy any remaining cancer cells.
Women whose cancer has spread to other organs, such as the liver or lungs, may benefit from chemotherapy alone or in combination with targeted drugs, which are designed to destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
Doctors often use a combination of chemotherapy drugs to manage breast cancer. These medications may be given through a vein with intravenous (IV) infusion or by mouth. The treatment schedule varies depending on your needs.
Generally, IV drugs are administered for several hours at a time every two to three weeks. Giving the treatment in cycles allows the body to recover between treatment sessions. People may repeat this treatment cycle several times over a period of three to six months.
Hormone therapies are often a treatment option for women whose breast tumors are estrogen- or progesterone-receptor positive.
Doctors usually prescribe them after surgery and radiation therapy to eliminate any remaining cancer cells, help prevent cancer from returning, and decrease the chance of new tumors developing in the opposite breast. Sometimes these therapies are given before surgery to shrink tumors.
Selective estrogen receptor modulators block the potentially harmful effects of the hormone estrogen in the breasts but allow it to function in other areas where it has a beneficial effect, such as the uterus and bones.
One of the most commonly used medications in this class is tamoxifen. Doctors may use it to prevent cancer from returning after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. It can also be used to treat women with advanced breast cancer.
Tamoxifen is taken by mouth on a daily basis after surgery or radiation therapy. Women may take the drug for as long as 5 to 10 years.
The estrogen receptor antagonist fulvestrant binds to estrogen receptors on the surface of tumor cells, changing their shape. This prevents them from working well and reduces the number of tumor cells.
Doctors may use fulvestrant in postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer that is hormone-receptor positive, has spread, and does not respond to tamoxifen. Fulvestrant is given through an injection into the muscle twice—once every two weeks. It is then given monthly.
Aromatase inhibitors block the enzyme aromatase. This helps to prevent the body from producing estrogen. These medications—letrozole is one example—may work in postmenopausal women with breast cancer by blocking the small amount of estrogen that their bodies still make.
Aromatase inhibitors are taken daily by mouth after other treatment is complete. Women may take these drugs for up to five years. They may also switch to an aromatase inhibitor after taking tamoxifen for five years to help prevent a recurrence.
Doctors may use medications to suppress ovarian function in women who are premenopausal. The ovaries produce estrogen, which can fuel breast cancer growth. Medications called luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) agonists block a hormone that tells the ovaries to produce estrogen.
Targeted drugs pinpoint and destroy the cancerous cells while sparing healthy tissue. They may be used alone or are sometimes combined with chemotherapy or hormone therapy.
Antibodies are immune system proteins that recognize harmful substances as foreign to the body and help to remove them. Monoclonal antibodies are drugs that bind to receptors or proteins on breast cancer cells. The drug trastuzumab, for instance, binds to human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), preventing tumor cells from receiving signals that tell them to grow and multiply.
In women with early breast cancer, trastuzumab may be given alone through a vein with intravenous (IV) infusion every one to three weeks for one year.
To more effectively treat women with advanced breast cancer, doctors may prescribe trastuzumab with another monoclonal antibody or chemotherapy drug. Physicians may also use this combination of medications before surgery to manage early breast cancer.
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors block enzymes that tell cancer cells to grow. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor lapatinib targets HER2 enzymes. Lapatinib is taken daily by mouth. It is usually given to women who have advanced HER2-positive breast cancer that does not respond to monoclonal antibody therapies combined with chemotherapy drugs. Doctors may also combine lapatinib with a monoclonal antibody or add it to other drugs to make treatment more effective.
Another form of targeted therapy blocks mTOR, a protein that encourages cells to grow. One medication, called everolimus, can help to stop the growth of cancer cells.
Doctors may give everolimus in combination with an aromatase inhibitor to postmenopausal women who have estrogen-receptor or progesterone-receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread.
Everolimus is taken by mouth once daily.
Breast cancer drugs and hormone therapies have many side effects. Chemotherapy can cause nausea, diarrhea, mouth sores, and fatigue. Hormone therapies can cause hot flashes and night sweats. Some targeted drugs can result in nausea, fatigue, fever, and rash.
Our doctors can help you to manage these side effects by changing the dose, prescribing other medications, or referring you to NYU Langone's integrative health services.
NYU Langone offers clinical trials evaluating new medications for estrogen- and progesterone-receptor positive cancers, HER2-positive breast cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer, among others. The use of medications by women before and after surgery is being evaluated.
Women who are found to have genetic mutations, such as in BRCA1 or BRCA2, are also participating in studies.
You and your doctor can discuss whether a clinical trial is right for you.
NYU Langone specialists provide care and support throughout your entire healthcare journey.Browse Doctors

EA allegedly considering two ways of re-introducing microtransactions into Star Wars Battlefront 2; Details
Nov 17, 2017 | 18 Comments
Bryan Lee O'Malley, best known for his Scott Pilgrim series of comic books (adapted into a popular movie in 2010), created the cover art for Fez. The game is headed to XBLA on April 13.
With the strong presence of video games seen in O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim comics, it's not surprising that the writer/artist is lending a greater hand in the medium—especially after the release of his successful Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game retro-styled downloadable title over a year ago.
Fez will cost 800 Microsoft Points. It won the "Excellence in Visual Art" award from the Independent Games Festival in 2008.

The Palestinians will be seeking a vote of recognition for their statehood.
A handful of countries are opposing such a move, mainly Israel, the US and Canada.
"Our government's long-standing position has not changed. The only solution to this conflict is one negotiated between and agreed to by the two parties," said Chris Day, the spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird.
"One of the states must be a Jewish state and recognized as such, while the Palestinian state is to be a nonmilitarized one."
To get full U.N. membership the Palestinians have to win Security Council approval. The US administration has said it will veto any resolution ensuring the further isolation of Israel and the US.
such a Veto by the US will not be taking lightly by countries in the Middle East, specially the US strong allies like the government of Saudi Arabia which is threatening to part ways with the US government if such a move is taken:
Veto a State, Lose an Ally, by Prince Turki Al-Faisal
If they fail in the Security Council, the Palestinians have said they will ask the General Assembly for enhanced observer status as a nonmember state. Even the more modest General Assembly vote, which the Palestinians are sure to win, would pave the way for them to join dozens of U.N. bodies and conventions, and could strengthen their ability to pursue cases against Israel at the International Criminal Court. But Israel would still control Palestinian territory, leaving the Palestinians disaffected after the initial euphoria.
Interesting times ahead!!!
