August 19, 2012—After an interesting season ended with three different teams capturing the three conference championships, the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) corralled its core once more on the pursuit of harvesting young bloods in this year's draft.
Expectations were met as the Petron Blaze Boosters hooked "The Kraken" June Mar Fajardo with the first overall pick. The dominant big man lifted the ceiling up for teams planning to invest on the names under his toes as this year's harvest would be one of the most talent-laden classes in Philippine basketball's history.
Who won and which teams are on the verge of scrambling down? Let's find out.
Winner: June Mar Fajardo and the Petron Blaze Boosters
Petron Blaze were already winners prior to the draft when they stole the opportunity to pick first from the struggling Air21 Express franchise. The result was a 6'10", 23-year-old, dominant big man out of the University of Cebu. The pick was expected and was timely at the same time as Petron's men in the middle, Dorian Pena and Danny Ildefonso, were smashed by father time right between their joints.
Fajardo will be able to provide both inside presence and defense with his size. There would be no question that Fajardo will take a starting job instantly as support role players Noy Baclao and Rob Reyes will eventually stay in their nutshells this coming season. The Petron Blaze roster is deep with their 1, 2, 3 and 4 spots which makes Fajardo the answer to their aching center position.
Loser: Alaska Aces picking Calvin Abueva
"The Beast" is his moniker and he truly deserves that. Playing for an elite college team in the country and dominating stat sheets each game, it would be an easy guess that Calvin Abueva would be selected within the top 5 of this draft. But certainly not by the Alaska Aces. The team acquired PCU standout Gabby Espinas last season and he poured out an "A" game through the remainder of the Governor's Cup conference. Sadly for the Aces, he was taken too late for last season.
As the new season dawns, there is no doubt that Espinas would once again shine. The point is Abueva plays the same position as Espinas, who have a decent supporting cast. What the Aces are missing is a franchise player at the power forward position which may come in handy if they have selected Cliff Hodge or maybe Dave Marcelo. That would make a strong interior with Sonny Thoss, Mac Baracael, Espinas and Hodge playing the 4 and 5 spots, as the guards are equally distributed for the Aces.
Winner: B-Meg Llamados acquired Aldrech Ramos
The Barako Bull Energy franchise surprised the proceedings when they picked Aldrech Ramos, a big man from Far Eastern University, fifth overall. Later that night, the Commissioner's Cup champions B-Meg Llamados dealt their newly acquired guard Sean Anthony and a second-round pick to Barako Bull in exchange for Aldrech Ramos. That was a bold move, but a smart one. Ramos would boost the Llamados frontline who lost Joe Devance to injury. He would be able to provide the support to Marc Pingris and Yancy de Ocampo. Ramos is a good player at the pick and pop and hits jumpers which makes him deadly at the perimeter.
Winner: Rain or Shine gambling on Chris Tiu
His draft application was highly anticipated. The former Smart Gilas skipper made it into the big league at the right time, and at the right place. Whatever Barako Bull and Ginebra might be planning in skipping out Tiu, the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters won a heavy card. The franchise who won the third conference championship is definitely the most underrated when it comes to roster depth, and they just proved that after etching their name on a chip trophy. Chris Tiu brings in the leadership of a true captain and the toughness of a solid rock. With his sweet shooting and passing abilities, the lanes will now be opened for Gabe Norwood's launching pad.
Now that the draft was done and training camp begins, all eyes look forward to September 30 for the opening of the Philippines' elite basketball league, the ultimate judiciary of who are this offseason's winners and losers.

Who are we? What is this?
The Education Leaders' Forum 2008 is hosted not only to form new connections and stimulate & expand upon new ideas, it is to serve as a catalyst for action to improve the lives of students everywhere. We are two such students, currently progressing through the UK's Higher Education system, and about to move into our final year at University.
We'll be tracking the recurring themes of the discussion, and providing you with more more information, references and links wherever possible; that these discussions may continue back in your world, and drive positive change for your students. We'll be writing with a natural student bias, which should hopefully also give you an insight into how the conference, talks and themes are perceived by a student audience.
Please, use this resource not only to recap on all you have heard, and also to help those unable to attend to gain a flavour of the conference - but also as a base to frame your own, localised discussions and decisions.

Dear Readers: Have you ever wondered what dry clean only means on garment care labels when there are no other instructions? According to our friends at the Drycleaning and Laundry Institute, the Federal Trade Commission's Care Labeling Rule is based on a warning system. If warnings are not listed, it means that the harshest process under the listed care procedure can be used safely. "Dry clean" or "dry clean only" means any acceptable solvent and the standard dry-cleaning method can be used. If the fabric or attached trim requires special care, the label must state so and have instructions. So now you know. Also be sure to read care labels before buying a garment! -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: I wanted to let you know about a garage-sale trick I used that everyone loved. I took a sheet of poster board and paired my earrings up on it by sticking the posts through. When someone bought a pair, I would simply cut them off. This way, they stayed together and one didn't get lost while people continued to shop. I also attached bracelets and necklaces with pins. -- Shirley, via e-mail
Dear Heloise: Here's an additional suggestion to make your summer salads (chicken, egg, etc.) a little healthier: Substitute nonfat plain yogurt for a bunch of the mayonnaise. I usually go about half and find no noticeable difference in flavor. You can experiment with this and find the amount that satisfies you. Since the mayonnaise is usually just for moistening anyway, yogurt will do that job nicely, with a lot less fat. -- Carol, via e-mail
Carol, I do something similar. I use some fat-free or low-fat sour cream in the same way. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: I like to coordinate my lipstick and nail-polish colors with my attire. I find it bothersome to have a number of lipstick tubes; they take up too much space, and finding the color I want is a nuisance. I have solved it this way:
I have a clear-plastic pillbox (seven days), and when I purchase a color, I empty the tube into a section. Since it is clear, I can see the colors and choose the one I like. I use a lipstick brush and apply it with that. Then I load the brush with lipstick and put it in my bag, and I know I have the matching color. I also have an extra brush (different color) that remains at home. -- Harriet K. Meltzer, Delray Beach
Dear Heloise: After years of struggling to use all the toothpaste in the tube, I suddenly realized that the little, pretty sample jars of creams were now clean and waiting for something -- my dregs of toothpaste. Believe me, it is terrific to open a small jar with much more toothpaste in it than one realizes. I would normally have thrown the unobtainable toothpaste, in irritation, in the trash.-- Barbara Overal, Allen, Texas
Send a money-saving or time-saving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to (210) HELOISE or e-mail it to email@example.com. I can't answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received.

Taiwan's textile makers reap high-tech rewards
By Jens Kastner | 6 December 2012
Taiwan's focus on high-tech textiles appears to be paying off
Facing a fragile global economy, rival South Korea's aggressive free trade agreement (FTA) strategy, as well as an appreciating local currency, Taiwan's textile and apparel manufacturers have placed their bets on innovation.
And indeed, their strong focus on upgraded and functional textiles appears to be paying off.
The industry's export earnings in 2011 came to US$12.7bn, up from 2010's US$11.3bn; for 2012, overall production value is expected to grow by 2% to 3% to more than US$17.1bn. These figures are ten-year highs for the Taiwan industry.
The technology and resulting products from the island's roughly 400 textile mills were on display at the 2012 Taipei Innovative Textile Application Show in October, which its supporters claim is the most important innovative textile exhibition in Asia.
"The trend goes toward multifunctional textiles," said Justin Huang, secretary general of the Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF). "For example, heat-storing features are now combined with anti-bacterial ones and quick-drying."
Huang added that Formosa Textile, Taiwan's largest mill, released a super-light 7-denier fabric (two years ago it was still 15), and that woven fabric mills Far Eastern New Century, Shinkong Textile and Everest Textile all displayed fabrics made of recycled PET bottles.
"Consumers can express environmental consciousness while enjoying multi-functionality if such materials are combined," Huang told just-style.
Functional focus
Taiwan's about-turn to functional came in 2002. This was during the FIFA football World Cup in Japan and South Korea, when Nike, Adidas and others worked with the island's textile makers to develop functional jerseys for the players.
This work has been developed in an environment-friendly way. Leading Taiwan textile company Singtex is particularly innovative, combining plastic bottles and coffee grounds to create an odour-absorbing fabric that Adidas, Boss, Puma, Nike, The North Face, Timberland, and other international brands (along with Liverpool football club) have bought and used.
"[When we were still producers of cheap fabrics and bedding products], we realised that every time we tried to follow into a new fabric, southeast Asian manufacturers would copy us and do it cheaper," said Jason Chen, Singtex's president.
"Then, three PhDs [sic] and myself spent four years in research and development to extract and transform waste coffee grounds into nano-sized structures to be put into S.Cafe yarn, which we then turned into many styles of knitted and woven fabrics."
The Singtex success story did its share in stimulating Taiwan's textile industry to upgrade.
This became evident again during the 2010 FIFA Football World Cup in South Africa, where Nike collaborated with Taiwanese manufacturers to outfit nine of the 32 competing teams with functional jerseys. The London 2012 Olympics, too, were seen as a major success for Taiwan's textile mills.
Countering the competition
But nonetheless, a continued upward trajectory can hardly be taken for granted.
Following the implementation of the EU-South Korea Free Trade Agreement last year, Taiwan's exports to the EU dropped by 10% year-on-year in the first nine months of this year, squeezing the textile sector hard.
Adding insult to injury, the US-South Korea FTA came into effect in March, which could replace 5% of Taiwan's textile exports to the US with products from South Korea. And a 5-7% decline in Taiwanese textile shipments to China last year is attributed to the trend to online shopping.
The TTF's Huang holds that as long as R&D is strengthened, these Korean competitors can be countered.
This is firstly because big international retailers don't easily swap suppliers once they have enjoyed good innovative service, according to him. "But a concrete danger is that customers play the Korea card in order to push down the price," he said.
It is also noteworthy that South Korea and Taiwan are not directly competing in mainland China's retail market, Huang said, as "the Koreans emphasise fashion design, not function."
Also gnawing away at profit margins is the current strength of the Taiwan New Dollar (TWD). The local currency has risen steadily for much of the year, recently reaching its highest level in 14 months against its US counterpart.
Another issue is the protection of R&D. Putting this into perspective, Singtex says it spent around one-third of its capital to develop its S.Cafe coffee grounds yarn. R&D for multi-functional textiles involves the chemical and biotech industries, and what works out in the laboratories can run into problems in mass production.
So it is particularly galling if companies outside Taiwan copy and exploit such innovation. Hu Sheng-Cheng, a former chairman of the island's Council for Economic Planning and Development, has complained about mainland Chinese companies potentially reaping the benefits of others' R&D.
"Taiwan and mainland China signed an IPR agreement in June 2010, but the mainland side doesn't implement it in earnest," Hu said. "What's not beneficial for them isn't enforced by mainland authorities."

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's WeeklyIn his ambitious but rather didactic third novel, Dee (The Liberty Campaign) explores America's obsession with the cults of victimhood and fame in the aftermath of a race riot in New York City. Paul Soloway is a struggling writer who's been working on his first novel for 10 years when the acquittal of a white man who has shot a black child touches off a riot in Harlem. Paul ends up being abducted and held hostage by Victor Hartley, a normally respectable young black man brought to the boiling point by a long and random chain of circumstance. The novel opens as Paul, who has suffered severe physical injuries during his time as a hostage, is released from the hospital and into the ensuing media feeding frenzy. Eventually, he is persuaded to write a book about his experience in the riot, which is presented to the reader largely through excerpts from the work in progress. Meanwhile, his abductor becomes a hero in the black community and, with the help of a high-profile lawyer, starts his own media campaign. The gulf that separates Paul and Victor is only increased by their different attempts to make sense of their private experience in the public realm, leading to a climax that sacrifices credibility to make a polemical point. Dee is certainly a skilled writer, one who pays careful attention to both the internal and external details that give his characters' actions substance and weight. But while his portrayal of America's racial divide is acute and his characters well drawn, ultimately both Paul and Victor emerge as selfish and nave, and much of what they learn about the power of the media and the distortions of public image over the course of the novel seems distressingly obvious.

Editorial Reviews
Library JournalIn this new novel from Dee (The Liberty Campaign, LJ 6/15/93), a young, anonymous writer emerges from a race riot as a reluctant hero.
Donna SeamanDee's morally inquisitive and suspenseful novels, including "The Liberty Campaign" (1993), are a feast for the mind, blending compelling characters, revelatory situations, and bracing social commentary. Here, in this brilliant tale of two men caught first in the web of urban violence, then in the rush of media hype, Dee examines our methods for coping with life's galling arbitrariness and the repercussions of rage, egocentricity, and predation. Paul Soloway, an all but unpublished writer, tries to remove himself from the fray by devoting himself to art for art's sake. His wife supports him and their two young sons as best she can, but Manhattan is expensive and her salary and patience are being stretched to the limit. Then, abruptly, everything changes. Paul wanders into the epicenter of a riot and ends up being held hostage and severely beaten. The media goes into a frenzy, and Paul finds himself with a six-figure book contract and an artistic dilemma. Meanwhile his assailant, Victor, heretofore peaceful and hardworking, finds himself turned into an unlikely hero by his grandstanding celebrity lawyer. As Dee adeptly dramatizes the implications and ironies of all this, he concludes, ultimately, that stories have a life of their own that no amount of exploitation can smother.

Three years ago I was asked to be the president of a newly forming organization, which still did not even have a name. During the past three years, ThriveWell has not only found an appropriate name, but has hired a full-time executive director. The impact the organization has already had in the lives of those breast cancer survivors, who have availed themselves of the phenomenal exercise and nutrition classes we provide, has been astounding. The research that ThriveWell has funded is directed towards those projects that would otherwise not receive the funds that would be necessary for a viable research project. Those patients who were able to get to their treatment appointments, because of our assistance, reveals profound gratitude on the parts of both the patient and the family.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
speaking with the participants in the nutritional and exercise programs. They have literally raved about the positive results they've gotten from working out with fellow-breast cancer individuals, and also have thoroughly cherished Artful Healing.

Our purpose is to enhance the quality of life of exhisting cancer patients and fund the most cutting edge research for the future cure for cancer.

Furnishing Walden a chair a bed a desk The desk came first in 1838 as it became apparent that the hours afoot would be brought here where they could be inked into lines that would circumscribe worlds - local paths, thickets, swamps, birds, insects, plants, the odd groundhog - all these ligaments and lineaments, a sort of puritan golem who would stir drafts later and one by one readers would walk out and be saved for a day and the next day each would saunter out again along those lines and every so often one would not return. He saw so far forward, you wonder if he lived in his world, but then you see him sprawled on the young ice inching out, reading the worm-trail of history in the mud the whole lens of coming winter flexing beneath him and you know from the seep of cold that he was there, and you know now know how you should live. You push back the chair and rock for a moment on the rockers he attached to allow for just this and you turn like a leaf in fall contemplative; it is, this walking motion, the birth of thought its pod opening like last year's milkweed, its heart-shaped seeds suspended beneath the wisp of white sail as they float forth. All night long on the modified Chinese sedan that is your bed, its rattan hand holding you up, you dream and the small night animals in this patch of borrowed woodland say that you sleep and awaken everywhere at home.

Furnishing Walden – a poem for Henry's birthday

Afloat at the Theater
…even as the eagle drives her young at last from the neighborhood of her eyrie, — for their own good, since there is not food enough there for all…Thoreau, Journal, 3/22/61
As we draw near these duck-broods, a conversational cluck-talk suddenly morphs into squawking concern – every duck's talking at once, and they have begun to hurry this way and that. Are we cause? In our three small boats do we appear to be duck-doom? Ah, no…something else is near.
Also amply fed in this season of plenty, an eagle wheels above the now-panicked covey of ducks, who – it must be said – have had a prolific breeding season. There may be 10 adult ducks in this flotilla 50 or so, and seconds ago one of them has set up the alarm, but now much of the cacophony rises from fuzzy brown ducklings, who seem suddenly to have adopted the random movements of a moth when a bat flies near. The orderly little files of ducks that had been paddling serenely out of our boats' path have become a hurried scatter of flurried (flightless) wings and webbed feet scratching for water-traction.
The eagle, some twenty feet off the deck, nears, and wherever it veers, 20 ducks dive. Little explosions of spray show where they've gone under; their disappearances are audible, like so many small stones raining down. Now, the eagle flares wings, then drops, talons extended, splashing down like an off-kilter parachute, perhaps right atop one of the swimming brown streaks. But it is a mostly graceless attempt, followed by a labored rowing of wings on the water to get – finally, with empty claws – airborne again. All this work, the eagle's affect seems to say. But once soaring again, the bird's menace returns, eliciting more squawked protest and more darting in all directions.
After a minute of circling, the eagle appears to tire and wings off to perch in a white pine hundreds of yards away; once there, he vanishes from our sight, and we look back to the ducks, who have begun to gather again into their usual softly chuckling conversations. Then – ALARUM! a gabble of cluck-squawks! Who spotted the eagle is unclear, but well before he arrives to search again in circles for a slow duck, fowl consternation rises and the webbed feet flurry. There must be a lookout duck in the group; does every covey have its lookout? More little geysers of spray as they dive – it is as if they have all drilled for this moment, though they also pop back up quickly enough to suggest that a forward-looking eagle should be able to nab one as he or she emerges. But no, there's no more awkward eagle-diving, only circling, which goes on for another long minute before its time for another pine rest.
And then, a minute or so later, the eagle leaves, flying upcoast for, who knows? – dumber ducks, slow fish, perhaps an attempt to shakedown a more efficient osprey, who, unlike our eagle, dives often and comes up with food sometimes.
But for three minutes we have been admitted to an avian theater with three, floating front-row seats.
Note: I've posted this piece once before, on July 4th of last year, and so a second posting makes a bit of a tradition of it. Happy dependence day!
Two years, two months, two days.
Henry Thoreau was wary of symbols
thoughts and things that go two
by two into the ark of the mind.
And when he took time off, absconded
with it to the pond on July 4th,
1845, he scoffed at those who saw
declaration of independence, in truth
he might have said, I am more
dependent than ever, on this pond
on this earth, on these feet, not
to mention the sky that shines
in the water, a medium really
for seeing up and down, for
seeing two ways at once, a unity
upon which I row my boat and
in which I bathe every day.

Cheryl Senter, Associated Press
BOSTON — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney frequently boasts how he and his team "were able to turn around the job losses" in Massachusetts during his single term as governor.
A closer look at his record shows that while the state's jobless numbers did improve during Romney's four years on Beacon Hill, gains and losses varied wildly depending on the sector of the economy and the kind of job being sought.
While business leaders have praised Romney for taking steps such as streamlining the state's permitting process, many also fault him for increasing business costs by pushing to close more than $300 million in what Romney described as corporate "loopholes." They say that move may have depressed job growth.
How much credit Romney should get for the overall uptick in jobs still is debated in Boston, five years after his term ended.
When Romney was sworn in as governor in January 2003, Massachusetts was reeling from the end of the dot.com bubble. With an economy more pegged to technology than most states, Massachusetts took longer to recover.
At the time, the state's unemployment rate was at 5.6 percent, compared with a low of 2.8 percent just two years earlier.
The jobless rate would keep rising through Romney's first year in office, topping out at 6 percent in August of his first year.
By December 2006, Romney's last full month in office, it had fallen to 4.7 percent.
A drop of less than 1 percent, meaning the addition of about 40,000 jobs, may seem like a modest achievement. Still, Romney has tried to make the most of it.
"That's a record that I think the president would like to see," Romney said at a recent debate. "As a matter of fact we created more jobs in Massachusetts than this president has created in this entire country."
Where those Massachusetts jobs were being created is a story in itself.
The steepest drop during Romney's tenure came in manufacturing. The number of manufacturing jobs fell by 11.4 percent, extending a historic slide in a state whose mill towns once provided the fuel for the economic engine.
Other areas that saw declines during Romney's term were jobs in publishing, movies, broadcasting and data processing, which fell by 7.1 percent, and in warehousing and utilities, which fell by 2.7 percent.
The strongest job growth was at the higher end of the wage scale. Professional and business services grew by 7.1 percent, education and health services by 6.8 percent, and the leisure and hospitality area by 4.7 percent.
Part of that growth can be attributed to Massachusetts' role as a national leader in health care, a role strengthened by the state's landmark health insurance law signed by Romney in 2006.
It served as a blueprint for the federal health overhaul signed by President Barack Obama four years later.
The health care sector is one of the largest in Massachusetts, employing more workers than manufacturing, financial services, retail trade or construction.
Under Romney, the state added about 32,000 health care and social assistance jobs, an increase of 7.6 percent, for a total of about 456,700 jobs in the sector by the time he left office.
One area that saw little overall change was the number of public employees.
A drop in the number of federal workers in Massachusetts during Romney's years in office was more than made up for with a 2.7 percent increase in workers on the state payroll, or more than 3,000 jobs, and a smaller increase in the number of local government employees.
Overall, there were about 430,600 government workers in Massachusetts when Romney's term ended.

For the first time since the mid-90s, the New York Rangers are considered legitimate Stanley Cup contenders.
But that doesn't mean anything is a given.
Last year's Eastern Conference Finals defeat to the New Jersey Devils showed that there's still much for the team to improve on if they intend on reaching the Stanley Cup Finals next season (whenever that may be).
The Rangers' brass also believes there is room for improvement and took steps to build a better team this season with the acquisition of Rick Nash. And although offense was the team's biggest problem last season, there are several other areas the team should concentrate on if they are to have a shot at glory whenever the NHL resumes.
To further explore what those areas are and what they entail, here are the five keys for the Rangers to be contenders next season.

PS3 motion tech is "very, very precise," says Sony
SCEE R&D boss Paul Holman told Edge at Develop this week that PS3's upcoming motion technology will cause advancement in games thanks to its precision.
"I think we can just say that it's very, very precise," he said. "People are going to be able to take games in this space forward because of the precision aspects."
Kish Hirani, head of dev services, gave an example.
"The classic example I give to people is that the most precise thing you can do is write your name using a [piece of] chalk on a blackboard," he said.
"Try doing that with a mouse and it's bloody difficult."
More through there. Sony showed the tech in action at the UK conference yesterday.

The iPhone had better-than-expected sales

Orthopedic devices maker
Wright Medical Group
) recently reported that it had concluded its take over of
BioMimetic Therapeutics. This deal will amalgamate Wright
Medical's strong sales team and product lineup with BioMimetic's
biologics offering pipeline.
On Nov 19, 2012, Wright Medical revealed its intention to take
over BioMimetic Therapeutics for an initial cash payment of $190
million to be followed by subsequent milestone outflows up to
another $190 million. However, this will only be triggered if the
Augment Bone Graft technology receives FDA nod.
BioMimetic placed, in June 2012, a responsive Premarket
Approval (PMA) modification in response to the FDA's request for
more data. Wright Medical expects a final regulatory decision
during the timeframe between Apr 2013 and Jan 2014. Should the
Augment Bone Graft receive the regulatory nod, it will be a new
protein therapeutic substance to enter the market after many
Including the effect of BioMimetic, Wright Medical's sales
band stands in the neighborhood of $485 million to $495 million
for 2013. The deal adversely affects earnings per share by about
32 cents to 34 cents resulting in loss per share in the range of
26 cents to 34 cents (including stock based compensation expense)
for 2013. Free cash flow is expected in the range of nil to $5
Orthopedics is one of the largest medical device market
segments worldwide. Lukewarm demand is exacerbated by pricing
pressure particularly in Europe. In particular, the
reconstructive market fundamentals (pricing and volume) have
languished in the recent past but are showing signs of recovery.
The joint replacement market has been hit by patient deferral of
elective procedures, leading to weak demand for hip and knee
Pricing compressions on hips, knees and spine products, which
have impaired the performances of certain orthopedic companies in
the past, remain a key concern at the macro level. We note Wright
Medical's inadequacy to post sales growth in recent times.
Our views on the company are moderated by intense competition
from larger players and pricing pressure. Wright Medical
competes with much bigger names such as
Zimmer Holdings
). The stock carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Wright Medical carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
CareFusion Corporation

Ha! Excellent.
Spoke with a friend a month or so ago about the upcoming games in Beijing. Even before the Tibet issue, I didn't think they sounded like very much fun because of, for one thing, the pollution. My friend agreed. He spend about 8 weeks last summer there on business and said it was like living inside a lit cigar.
The news ticker at the bottom is the best part.
"Athiest patient somehow survives surgery without the help of God."
Not to be too much of an anal nit-picker, since it is just joke news, but... An official from Mainland China would never spell their last name Hsu. That's a Taiwanese spelling.

Tea Tree Chewing Sticks freshen breath and help with oray hygiene.
Triple action Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Toothpicks deliver Melaleuca alternifolia oil between teeth and at the gum line, help remove debris and plaque in places where brushes can't reach, and leave breath fresh and clean. Uniquely designed from renewable, fast-growing birchwood trees, each toothpick is infused with a powerful array of natural plant extracts, including peppermint, spearmint, cinnamon, fennel and menthol.
Other Ingredients
Menthol, malaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil, cinnamomum cassia leaf oil, canola oil, mentha piperita (peppermint) oil, mentha viridis (spearmint) leaf oil, foeniculum vulgare (fennel) oil.
Cautions: Do not swallow. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage: Store below 86ºF/30ºC.
These are not actual chewing sticks; they are glorified toothpicks. Toothpicks are good too but you can get them anywhere, and the fact that they're infused with tea tree oil does not impress me - there are other ways to kill or remove germs (xylitol mouth wash comes to mind) and excessive use of tea tree oil simply leads to germs that are resistant to that antibiotic. I'm glad I only bought the 1-pack instead of the 2-pack one
addictive & refreshing (+ cheap shipping) it beats eating candy or gum or other craving after meals or the morning coffee. iherb should take paypal, that is my only complaint.
excellent product

Sticks hold their flavor forever! great for my quit smoking effort. got here super fast. could not be happier
Not what I thought but..
Posted by 5586633365741026200 on Sep 22, 2014
I bought these thinking they were some sort of gum substitude. They're not, but they do what they say they do. I usally chew on one after a meal and they leave my mounth feeling refreshed and clean. The smell and taste were a little strong at first but I got used to it very fast. And I actually think they smell good now. I'll remove one star for the fact that they dissolve/break VERY easy. And if you are not careful you'll have to pick out tiny little pieces out of your mouth. Also putting the stick directly on your tounge leaves a very strong taste. Its worth the money, just make sure it is what you think it is.

very good as a tooth pick,a little bit too strong,not exactly chew able but its good enough
Strong Tea Tree Taste
