Measuring the effects of acupuncture and homoeopathy in general practice: An uncontrolled prospective documentation approach
Despite the increasing demand for acupuncture and homoeopathy in Germany, little is known about the effects of these treatments in routine care. We set up a pragmatic documentation study in general practice funded within the scope of project launched by a German health insurer. Patients were followed-up for up to four years.
The aim of the project was to study the effects and benefits of acupuncture and/or homoeopathy, and to assess patient satisfaction within a prospective documentation of over 5000 acupuncture and over 900 homoeopathy patients. As data sources, we used the documentation made available by therapists on every individual visit and a standardised quality-of-life questionnaire (MOS SF-36); these were complemented by questions concerning the patient's medical history and by questions on patient satisfaction. The health insurer provided us with data on work absenteeism.
Descriptive analyses of the main outcomes showed benefit of treatment with middle to large-sized effects for the quality of life questionnaire SF-36 and about 1 point improvement on a rating scale of effects, given by doctors. Data on the treatment and the patients' and physicians' background suggests chronically ill patients treated by fairly regular schemes.
Since the results showed evidence of a subjective benefit for patients from acupuncture and homoeopathy, this may account for the increase in demand for these treatments especially when patients are chronically ill and unsatisfied with the conventional treatment given previously.
In the light of increasing demand for alternative and complementary therapies (CAM)
Moreover, most studies only investigate effectiveness in terms of clinical parameters, such as disease status and well-being. Yet, the fact that this does not reflect the whole picture is evident from theoretical models of successful treatments and counselling
In Germany, health insurance companies are permitted to pay for non-conventional therapies such as acupuncture and homoeopathy within so-called model projects. According to the law, the projects and hence the treatments given in general practice, have to be evaluated scientifically. Carrying out this type of evaluation in a prospective documentation gave us the opportunity (i) to investigate both treatments in real life conditions and (ii) to study a complex array of therapeutical effects. Our goal was to document the generic health effects of homoeopathy and acupuncture in general practice in an unselected patient population seeking the help of qualified doctors.
The study covered documentation of roughly 5000 patients and their treatments. The patients were followed up over the course of up to four years.
The objective of this documentation study was to measure effects. These were specified in terms of three main outcome criteria pertaining to three different sources: Quality of life before and after treatment as reported by patients (MOS SF-36 German version
A further benefit of this type of documentation approach lies in the opportunity to gather data regarding the following questions:
- What kind of diseases do homoeopathic doctors and acupuncturists treat?
- Do patients see CAM practitioners on a regular basis or just once?
- What subjective benefit and satisfaction with treatment do patients experience?
- How does the general health status of the treated population change?
As a design a prospective documentation was used that followed the methodology outlined in a predefined and published protocol
As the study was designed as a real routine-care-assessment the only inclusion criteria were: written informed consent, ability to read and write German and being insured with the funding insurance company.
The eligibility criteria of the doctors ensured the quality of treatment. All of them had to be medical doctors. For inclusion in the trial phase, they had to send proof of their qualification to a quality control committee set up by representatives of the insurance company and the doctors' associations. Homoeopaths had to possess the comprehensive additional qualification "homoeopathic doctor" according to standards of the German Homoeopathic Doctors' Association (
At the beginning of the study, patients were asked to give written consent to allow documentation. Consenting patients were given baseline questionnaires while awaiting treatment. Post-treatment, acupuncture patients were asked to fill in a set of questionnaires after the final session of a treatment cycle as well as follow-up questionnaires once a year. For homoeopathy – where treatment is more likely to last several months or years – patients were asked to fill in questionnaires prior to the treatment and every 6 months thereafter. The questionnaires after the treatment had to be answered at home and mailed to the study centre. This ensured that doctors remained unaware of the answers given by the patients.
Doctors were asked to document the diagnosis, the application of treatment and improvement or deterioration of the main symptom every time they saw the patient.
At the end of the trial phase, the insurance company supplied information on absence from work.
The following data were recorded:
Pre-treatment questionnaire on
- socio-demographic variables
- complaints (free text)
- number and type of therapeutic approaches used
- current treatment
- current medication
- reasons for seeking alternative therapy
- health-related quality of life (MOS SF-36)
The post-treatment questionnaire contained the following items:
- subjective perception of effectiveness
- satisfaction with treatment
- in case of failure or disruption of therapy: reasons
- side effects
- concurrent illnesses during treatment
- health-related quality of life (MOS SF-36)
Follow-up questionnaires repeated the main questions post-treatment.
Initially, a practice profile questionnaire documented details about training, experience, and techniques normally applied.
After each session, doctors filled in one sheet concerning
- the type of consultation (first, follow-up, telephone)
- time spent with patient
- up to 3 diagnoses, indicating the main diagnosis
- with each diagnosis: duration and severity of disease, acute or chronic
- prescriptions (allopathic, homoeopathic, other)
- referrals (specialist, clinic, cure, physio- or psychotherapy)
- side effects, aggravation, indication of antidotation (only homoeopathy)
- in the case of acupuncture: acupuncture points and meridians
- in the case of homoeopathy: key symptoms
Health insurance data
The insurance company provided information for each patient on:
- work days lost, reasons (diagnoses) for absenteeism
- time insured over the past 8 years
- days in hospital, reasons (diagnoses) for hospital stay
Main outcome criteria
As target criteria we measured
- health related quality of life (SF 36)
- doctors' rating of improvement of main complaint as 7 point symmetrical improvement-deterioration-scale with anchors "-3 (very much worse)" to "+3 (very much improved, healed)"
- work absenteeism.
Procedures, data handling and statistics
At the beginning of the study, doctors were informed by the insurance company and their respective associations. Interlocutions between the study group and/or the insurance company and the doctors' associations insured cooperation. Conferences were held to inform doctors about the procedures and aims of the study and to ensure their compliance.
Treatment of data followed the prerequisites for anonymity of patients, and patients' data were neither shown to their GPs nor to the insurance company. All the data were sent directly to the study centre and were checked for completeness. Follow-up questionnaires were sent out to patients with pre-stamped envelopes by automatised routines and up to two reminders were sent out in case of no return.
The data were checked for completeness immediately upon arrival, and reminders or individual letters were sent, if any material was missing. The data were entered by hand or using scanning software (Cardiff Teleform), and plausibility checks were run. If data were missing the following procedures were employed:
Imputation of missing data was only carried out for the SF-36. We followed the published routines
In a separate study, we checked for the effects of different missing data interpolation routines and found no difference between sophisticated regression analytical methods and interpolation using propensity score and no interpolation
A comparison of the data given in questionnaires that were returned too late revealed that there was no significant difference in answer patterns. The given descriptive analysis was therefore carried out for all available data. Neither work days lost nor the doctor's rating was imputed when missing, as there was no hint for biased results. By nature, work days lost are not subject to overestimation bias, and by cross-checking the billing forms it was ensured that the doctor's rating was given for nearly every patient included in the study.
Data were analysed by Access and SPSS. Due to the descriptive nature of the study, we relied mainly on descriptive statistics. In order to quantify effects, we calculated effect sizes as standardised mean differences according to Cohen
Because this was an evaluation taking place in general practice together with some political necessities, the study had to begin before all data collection and monitoring routines were in place. This resulted in a somewhat loose monitoring of data in the first six months of the study, with many questionnaires being filled in too late, etc. In all cases of doubt we ran analyses to estimate if there would be a distortion of results when using the data. We discarded data suspected of being invalid, always following the conservative rule of trying to avoid overestimation of effects.
In particular, the doctor's rating of success was treated very conservatively and corrected accordingly to avoid overestimation of success. Since this scale was to be gauged to the last session (change of patient compared to last time seen), all points were added and standardised on the number of sessions, which yields a theoretical range from -3 to +3 with 0 marking the unchanged status. If a doctor scored "3" more than once a sequence, the following ratings were automatically recoded as unchanged.
Overall, 5292 patients were treated with acupuncture and 933 patients with homoeopathy. Fifty-three patients received both acupuncture and homoeopathic treatment. This difference reflects the specialty of participating doctors: Acupuncture was offered by 622 GPs, yet homoeopathy by only 52. In addition, for technical and legal reasons, the evaluation of homoeopathy had only been incorporated in two of the three German Länder where the trial phase was launched. These regions of East Germany do not have a long-standing tradition of homoeopathy and therefore do not have many practising homoeopaths.
Within the trial phase, 12% of the acupuncture patients attended booster sessions or reappeared for follow-up sessions with the same treatment, compared with 10% of the homoeopathy patients. Return rates corresponded to 90% of all pre-questionnaires. Post treatment, 60% of the patients returned the questionnaire within an appropriate time frame. This figure dropped slightly to 50% in the follow-up period. This is still an acceptable return rate, given the fact that this was 24 months after therapy and that the questionnaires were sent by mail.

More than 5000 patients were treated with acupuncture. Around 4400 patients participated in the study and filled in the baseline questionnaire. Sample size is smaller than the overall number of patients due to missing consent or failure to reply in time. The mean age was 42 years, 71% were married and 62% employed (Table
In response to a free text question about complaints at baseline, acupuncture patients most frequently reported the following symptoms: Back pain (31%), headache (24%), and problems with the respiratory system (14%). Moreover, 75% of the patients reported having had conventional treatment for these symptoms and 20% had had acupuncture before. The main reasons why patients sought acupuncture were (i) the low perceived effectiveness of other treatments (73%) and (ii) payment by the insurance company (69%).
The main diagnoses documented by the GPs according to the ICD-system were

It is noteworthy that 82% of the conditions appeared to be chronic (lasting longer than 6 months) and 36% were labelled by the doctors as being severe.
When asked after treatment whether and how their complaints had changed, the following picture emerged: 36% of all acupuncture patients felt very much better and 49% felt somewhat better, 13% thought their symptoms were unchanged, and only 1% reported a deterioration of symptoms (see upper half of table

Therapeutic effects as rated by the GPs showed a 0.9 (SD = 0.5) improvement of on a 7-point scale (accumulated and standardised ratings in the range between "-3 = much worse" and "+3 = much better" for change from session to session).
As mentioned above, one main outcome criterion was quality of life as assessed by the SF-36.
The effect sizes show middle-sized effects, with best effects for the bodily pain scale and the physical role scale.

Regarding work absenteeism, the insurance company provided us with data on work days lost over 16 years, including up to 9 years before treatment and up to 7 years since treatment. Figure

While the reference population remained more or less the same, the mean values of the subsample rise to twice the work days lost in the 2 years prior to treatment, but return to normal within 2 to 3 years.
Some 1000 patients received homoeopathic treatment. The patients participating in the study had a mean age of 30 years, 55% were female, 47% were married and 49% were employed (Table
The most frequently self-reported symptoms and complaints concerned the respiratory system (16%) and skin problems (19%). Less frequently, back pain (7%) and headaches (10%) were reported. Of the homoeopathy patients, 65% stated that they had received conventional treatment and 29% had visited more than 4 doctors in advance. 19% of the patients had had homoeopathic treatment for the reported symptoms before.
Treatment motivation was given as being, (i) the low perceived effectiveness of other treatments (70%) and (ii) payment by the insurance company (73%). Less prominent reasons were (iii) the side effects of other treatments (60%) and (iv) the desire to be treated with homoeopathy (56%) (also Table
The main ICD diagnoses given by the GPs were

After treatment, the patients were asked to rate whether and how complaints had changed. Over follow-up time, 39% of homoeopathy patients felt very much better and 38% felt somewhat better, 17% thought the symptoms were unchanged, and only 2% reported a deterioration of symptoms (see bottom half of table
Therapeutic effects as rated by the GPs showed a 0.95 improvement (SD = 0.7) on a 7-point rating scale (accumulated over all the homoeopathic sessions).
Results regarding quality of life as assessed by the SF-36 are presented in Table

Work days lost show an incline of mean values before treatment, followed by a decline after treatment. This is not reflected by the median values, but the Friedman test of mean ranks of medians also revealed a significant increase and decrease of days of absenteeism (see Figure
Figure 6

Compared to the reference population, the patients included in the trial phase showed less work absenteeism prior to treatment. This could have been assumed as work absenteeism is mostly due to back pain and accidents (for long periods), but not migraine and allergic rhinitis. Nevertheless, around the year of treatment work absenteeism exceeds the mean values of the reference population, but drops to a lower level compared to reference means.

This prospective observational documentation study was designed to bridge the gap between clinical studies in the tradition of pharmaceutical research in CAM and every-day, real life practice. It also gives an insight into the everyday practice of acupuncture and homoeopathy delivered by general practitioners or CAM specialists within the insurance system.
The results show evidence of subjective benefits in all three main outcome criteria. The doctors' ratings of the change of complaints showed significant improvement of complaints over the course of treatment. Taking standard deviations into account, it is apparent that this is not due to overestimation. The improvement under acupuncture treatment was about 2 SDs and the improvement under homoeopathy (which is an even more comprehensive treatment) was a little lower. This overall improvement was vindicated by quality-of-life data. Effect sizes from pre to post-treatment showed middle to large effects. The effect sizes of homoeopathy are even greater. This might be because a longer period was observed and the therapy seems to result in a significant improvement of the perception of well-being (general health, vitality) and role scales.
Despite being very satisfied with the treatment and experiencing a clear subjective benefit, only about 16% of the patients sought booster treatments. Follow-up questionnaires from a subsidiary study part, which have not as yet been fully analysed show that about half the patients did not go to booster sessions simply because they felt they had been cured. This is even more astonishing because their physicians labelled their diagnoses as chronic and severe. Nevertheless, it seems to fit the general notion of improved subjective health and well-being of the patients seen in the stable course of the SF-36-scales.
However, some problems were encountered in this long-term documentation study. At the beginning of the study, persistent efforts were made to set up a control group of conventional treatment. We also tried to obtain data on the insurance company's cost records. Unfortunately, both efforts failed. This was partly due to German data protection laws and partly to the lack of interest among conventional practitioners, who would only have cooperated on reimbursement, which is not a legally viable option for publicly funded insurance companies. This is particularly unfortunate because being dissatisfied with other therapies a great number of patients had come to see the CAM therapists. Without a concurrent control group it is difficult to put the data into context, and conclusions therefore have to be made using indirect methods. What we can derive from our data is that in general patients are very satisfied, not only with the treatment, but also with the effects of the treatment. This satisfaction is not only seen in self-report items, but is also reflected in the standardised and well-validated scale SF-36, which is known to be very robust and does not easily overestimate change. Effect sizes and numerical differences show that the experienced effects were sizeable, clinically meaningful
One might argue that in a study like ours there are always a large number of non-responders due to the long observation time, and because patients do not understand why they should fill in questionnaires regarding treatment they had years ago. While our return rate was not bad, it was far from perfect. We achieved acceptable return rates of roughly 90% for the pre-treatment questionnaires and 50% for the follow-up questionnaires. Interpolating the missing data points with intricate routines derived from regression analytical methods did not change the picture, indicating that data were missing at random. We are in the process of conducting a subsidiary study with telephone interviews to find out if and how non-responders differ from responders. A first study to that effect employing telephone interviews with randomly selected non-responders showed that they did not differ in follow-up parameters from responders in that sample. Thus, we are confident that our data do not reflect a response bias of particularly healthy or diseased patients, but document a fair average of the whole population.
Is it possible that the patients would have experienced the same pattern of improvement if no therapy or conventional therapy had been applied? This seems rather unlikely, since the majority of patients sought help for long standing problems, which were resistant to conventional treatments, and thus by default unlikely to regress back to normal. The documented improvement is also unlikely to be due to concurrent conventional or other treatments. The documented usage of other medical treatments pertained rather to routine visits and decreased slightly. This is also true for the intake of painkillers and other pills.
The data on work days lost show that the patients go back to normal after treatment. Mean values peak around the year when treatment was applied. Since these data are skewed toward zero, the Friedman-Test of significance of mean ranks was applied and resulted in highly significant orders of median ranks before and after treatment. Compared to a reference population, acupuncture patients have much higher rates of absenteeism, whereas homoeopathy patients show only higher rates for the time close to the treatment. This underlines the validity of the data on work days lost as patients with back pain are known to produce constant and high rates of absenteeism. Since the data is highly skewed and the regression may be due to outliers, we also analysed the proportion of patients with 0 days and the proportion of outliers (mean values plus 1 SD). For acupuncture the number of patients with 0 days was 71% for a period of 2 years before treatment, and 58% for the year of treatment. The rate returned to 64% 2 years post treatment. 6% were outliers 2 years prior to treatment, 7% when treatment was applied and only 4% had days lost at work outside the given range for 2 years after the first acupuncture cycle.
A very similar picture emerged for homoeopathy: 59% had no work days lost 2 years before the first consultation and 7% lay outside the range. In the year of treatment, 42% showed no days lost to work, but 9% were outliers. 2 years after treatment, 8% still lay outside the given range. The higher rate of outliers and the lower number of patients with no days absent from work shows that regression to the mean is not a very likely explanation for the decline in work days lost after treatment.
The costs of the alternative treatments offered within the test phase are clear-cut: Neither homoeopaths nor acupuncturists employ fancy technical products. They do not order a large number of diagnostics, and the number of sessions taken to achieve the results are modest: On average, 10 acupuncture and 2 to 3 homoeopathy sessions were necessary to achieve the effects with stability over four years, which translates to a rough estimate of €300 per patient, with no hidden costs for expensive drugs. To treat a migraine patient suffering 2 attacks a month over the course of one year, using an effective triptane would cost at least the same in one year, taking only the drug costs into account and without including the cost of visits to the doctor and the cost of diagnostics. Thus, here we have a potential for cost-saving warranting further and more intricate exploration.
The types of homoeopathy or acupuncture we studied were fairly mundane. While we also had some experienced doctors in our sample, most of the doctors in the study had undergone training 5 to 10 years previously. Thus, we documented what subjective benefit patients can expect from an average homoeopathic doctor or acupuncturist in Germany and probably elsewhere. Even so, the recommendation based on the summary of our data would be that both homoeopathy and acupuncture seem to be effective practices that satisfy patients, and help the majority to a sufficient degree. Our study is a very first hint in that direction and provides material for further and more in-depth scrutiny. Future studies should place emphasis on careful documentation of the cost and effects of conventional treatment as compared to CAM treatment.

Beetroot Boltardy Seeds (AGM)
Vegetable Seeds from Sow Seeds Ltd
Beetroot Boltardy is a real winner - a traditional old favourite that has well earned its place as one of our best selling veg seeds. It is easy to grow, very reliable and has rich crimson globe shaped roots with the wonderful earthy sweet beetroot flavour.
Beetroot Boltardy is a 'bolt resistant' variety. 'Bolting' occurs due to lack of water & this can lead to the roots becoming woody & splitting so it pays to water beetroots regularly. This variety has a long sowing season from March (with added protection eg cloches) until July and grows well in containers or pots. It is best harvest the roots when the size of cricket balls or smaller (baby beets) as larger ones tend to be tough & woody.
A few small attractive baby leaves can be picked whilst the beetroot is growing and these can be added to salads or steamed like spinach. Beetroot is now being re-invented by cooks & chefs no longer is it just pickled to death in vinegar but used in salads, tartlets with goats cheese even beetroot cakes and ice-cream.
We still pickle some of our beetroots in jars with peppercorns & chillies to use over winter though. They do however store well when carefully picked & kept in a peat free alternative in a cool shed until the following March.
Homegrown beetroots delicious!
Beetroot Boltardy Vegetable Seed Information
|Seed Quantity:
|Approx 200 seeds per pack.
Any, although sandy soil is particularly good but not freshly manured as it can cause forking. An open sunny spot is ideal or also great in a container.
|When to Sow:
March to July. They are good to sow successionally through the season.
|How to Sow:
Soak the seed in warm water for an hour before sowing (it helps germination), Sow thinly in rows, the rows should be 20cm apart. Cover lightly with 2.5cm of soil. Firm gently and water carefully. Seedlings will start to show 7-21 days.
Thin seeds to 10cm apart.
|June to October. 8-10 weeks from sowing, this is earlier for smaller baby beetroot. The tops can be removed when 5-8cm tall for attractive salad leaves. Twist off the leaves leaving a 2cm stalk and then the beetroot will not bleed. The leaves can be treated as 'cut & come again' leaves.

There's a certain mystery that surrounds artists who receive their fame postmortem. With a dearth of current information, or for that matter contemporary criticism, a deceased artist can often become almost a fictional character, a whole made of memories, journal entries and found work, and recast as a hidden hero. His life becomes framed as that much more of a struggle, his inspirations that much more romanticized, his failures that much more catastrophic. Once an artist's reputation is exhumed along with his long-lost, long-underappreciated work, the story of his life and work is set in grand, nearly cinematic scope.
James Castle seems sent from central casting for such treatment. The Idaho artist, who died in 1977, was youthfully better known in his hometown of Garden Valley as "Crazy Jimmy" or "Dummy," rather than as a burgeoning artist who happened to be born deaf and unable to verbalize, and who suffered, most now believe, from autism. His struggles were many: in addition to his physical challenges, Castle was, by virtue of a directive from a specialty school that dubbed him "uneducable," forbidden to use paper or pencils; the majority of his drawings are done in stove soot and spit on discarded mail from the post office his parents operated. His inspirations are believed to be entirely biographical, but shrouded in a code that's only recently been revealed; the signature symbol he uses at the start of every handmade book, for instance, is a variation of his family's cattle brand. His failures are an easy mark: beyond being virtually undiscovered on any artistic level, save for a brief stint as a favorite of some Portland art professors in the late 1960s, Castle was dismissed as a freak or outsider by most—a sad commentary on more than just art criticism. But now that his work is resurfacing almost 30 years since his death (some 20,000 pieces have been discovered, most by dumb luck) and collectors are starting to take notice (his work is part of the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, not to mention featured in an exhibit being unveiled Thursday, Nov. 16, at the Missoula Art Museum), Castle's story is becoming one of legend.
"He is an artist who, for instance, has 300 drawings of the interior of his bedroom," says Boise State University English professor, book art specialist and Castle biographer Tom Trusky. "But every single one is from a different point of view. When I look at his books, I always know I am the stupid one. His work, these books and what he did, they haunt me. "
Trusky, who is guest curator of the upcoming MAM exhibit, has a giddy appreciation for and encyclopedic knowledge of Castle. Through interviews with family, classmates and collectors, Trusky has pieced together as many aspects of Castle's life and work as possible. The main part of Trusky's research has been finding, restoring and deciphering some of the hundreds of crudely bound books that Castle created from childhood on.
"I remember my initial thought was, 'What is an illiterate person doing making books?" says Tresky. "But he is communicating so much through these works. It took me some time, but I realized you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know he's giving us a biography of his life."
The MAM exhibit includes many examples of Castle's books, which are fascinating just as much for their construction as for the compositions they contain. Due to his limited resources, Castle used just about anything he could find as paper. One book's cover is a box of Prince Albert tobacco, another a Safeway brand coffee bag. His illustrations appear on everything from used envelopes to magazine articles; one is smack dab in the middle of an essay titled "Crime and Punishment." And most are bound using colored yarn in a butterfly or stab stitch.
The drawings themselves vary: some are meticulous landscapes that show advanced command of perspective and shading for someone who was entirely self-taught, others are rough sketches of people, almost like cartoons (think "Futurama" without the robots), with certain features like eyes and ears missing. Trusky offers up theories on why someone who also demonstrated the ability to mimic da Vinci and Picasso would stoop to such caricatures, but prefaces each comment with, "Now, this is just my take on it, but…"
And that's the key. In figuring out Castle's work, the fun part is knowing that there's not necessarily a wrong answer. Even his biographer acknowledges that with Castle, as with any dead artist, the story can continue to grow with each new theory.
"I have to say that more than anything," says Trusky, "I love the mystery of it all."
James Castle: From Ice House Unto Early Attic debuts at the Missoula Art Museum Thursday, Nov. 16. Tom Trusky will discuss Castle's work during Artini Thursday festivities at 8 PM. The exhibit will be on display through Wednesday, Jan. 10.

Project Prioritization Steps
You feel you have a good handle on your IT group's project management process, and you're ahead of the curve as far as coming in on time and on budget. It's definitely time for congratulations. But you have this nagging belief that the process would still be improved if projects were more fully defined and justified at the beginning, instead of those gaps being filled in along the way.
It takes trial and error, and usually a lot of good people skills, to get an entire organization on board with a new or altered project initiation process. If you can sell it, though, you'll save yourself a mountain of work.
The less intimidating you can make the process and the forms, the better. This Project Concept Form, recently uploaded to the IT Downloads library by Toolkit Cafe, isn't too complicated, but can be used for the initial organization of the project's perceived business need, strategic direction, applicability to existing organizational needs and deficiencies, and alternative solutions.
Project Tracking Tool: Break it down into manageable components.
Project Meeting Follow-up Template: Communicate meeting results to stakeholders.
IT Status Report Template: Keep support from flagging and demonstrate IT's value.

text: Andy Rooney from 60 Minutes does not understand why eBooks will replace paper books. In fact, he seems surprised at the notion that one might even consider buying them. Perhaps he just loves seeing a wall full of hard cover books in his plush office, perhaps he likes carrying a bag full of heavy paper books around if he is reading several. Perhaps he has stocks on a paper company — who knows!!

|Shiba Sodona
|Sodona Family Founder
Shiba Sodona was a yojimbo of the Phoenix Clan and founder of the Sodona vassal family of the Shiba.
Yojimbo Edit
Sodona was appointed as yojimbo to Shiba Toriiko, the Phoenix Clan Champion's heir. [1]
Vassal family Edit
After the Return of the Ki-Rin in the year 815 a significant number of small battles took place between the Great Clans. During one such encounter, the Lion forces led by Matsu Turun ambushed and killed the Phoenix Clan Champion and his family as they were traveling to Otosan Uchi. Toriiko mourned the death of her predecessor and even invited Turun to the funeral, who refused. In the year 821 Sodona was granted the Sodona vassal family, which was charged with the defense of the Shiba to prevent such tragedies from occurring again. [2]
Death Edit
The pacifist Toriiko intervened in a Crane-Lion conflict in 827. The Phoenix forces interposed themselves between the two but did not offer any resistance as they were butchered. Kakita Gosano approached the remaining Phoenix led by Toriiko, who refused to draw her blade when Gosano challenged her, and she was cut down. The battle became known as the Battle of the Broken Daisho. [3] [4] Shiba Sodona committed seppuku just after he learned of Toriiko's death. Sodona's Grave was located in the outskirts of Shiro Shiba. [1]

Why the GRU complaints
Published: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 12:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 12:24 p.m.
There was recently a clip on the local news showing a gentleman's dissatisfaction with the "Community Energizer Award Breakfast" sponsored by Gainesville Regional Utilities.
Subsequent to that, there has been a flurry of emails circulating around from individuals also expressing dissatisfaction with the event. One such email stated that the breakfast was "infiltrated" by former GRU employees.
I am a former GRU employee, having served for nearly 30 years, and I am appalled and insulted by that statement. As a citizen and taxpayer in this community, I do not have to "infiltrate" public meetings. We attend them by right.
Moreover, due to my long history of community service in Gainesville and having received the city of Gainesville first "Employee Volunteer of the Year Award," I was asked to be the keynote speaker for the event and I was more than honored to do so.
There is nothing unusual about GRU sponsoring such a breakfast for those who give back to this community. For years, GRU has sponsored numerous events, such as the March of Dimes, United Way, Environmental Ambassadors, Cotton Club, Dr. Martin Luther King Commission of Florida, Williams Elementary and many, many more.
The Community Energizer Breakfast is no exception. Recognizing people like the four outstanding citizens selected this year was the right thing to do. Their community service records are impeccable. They have donated, among the four of them, thousands of hours of community service, and they deserved such recognition.
One has to wonder if all of the disdain for GRU really is about the awards breakfast or is there really an underlying motive. One thing I learned very quickly during my tenure at GRU was that many folks seemed to know more about managing a utility organization than the people who actually operate it on a daily basis.
Nona Jones, GRU director of Community Relations and Government Affairs, whose office coordinated the event, has been personally and undeservedly castigated. References have been made to her husband and father-in-law, who are both ministers and had nothing to do with the program.
Jones does not deserve this type of treatment. She was simply doing her job. One may not approve of how GRU operates; however, I look forward to the day when we can begin to express our dissatisfactions with some civility.
Like GRU, virtually all utility companies have staff dedicated to community service. This makes good business sense. Giving back to the community they serve demonstrates to their customers that they care. I am proud to have been a manager and executive at GRU and I'm proud of their efforts to support the community.
Albert E. White,

Calculating clusters with AI methods
Clever Fellow
A human observer can register clusters in a two-dimensional set of points at a glance. Artificial intelligence has a harder time getting it done; however, the relatively simple k-means method delivers usable results.
Nature lovers who tagged along with the previous edition of this column and generated a map with all US national parks might subsequently ask themselves how they can tour all these attractions using as few resources as possible. Figure 1 shows that the parks are concentrated in certain areas. A tourist can thus visit about a dozen spectacles of nature by focusing on one area during a single visit.

Ellis' 37 points help Warriors edge SunsFeb 14, 2008 - 6:23 AM By Ryan Leong PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer
OAKLAND, California (Ticker) - The Golden State Warriors faced off against the Phoenix Suns, and the league's top two offenses didn't disappoint.
Monta Ellis scored 37 points and Baron Davis added 27 and 13 assists as the Warriors outlasted the Suns, 120-118, on Wednesday night.
"A team like this, we knew it was going to come down to the wire - and the way we play, it was going to be a game full of runs," Davis said. "I think both teams wanted to stay as close as possible and they wanted to keep the game close. They were just fighting and they played a great game."
Amare Stoudemire had 29 points and 13 rebounds and Grant Hill registered 26 and 15 boards for the Suns, who have lost their last three games against the Warriors at Oracle Arena.
"The main thing is trying to get a win," Hill said. "They went small and we tried to match them and go small. It would have been better to score no points and get the win - but we'll see them again."
Ellis single-handedly kept the Warriors in the game by scoring 10 of his points in the first seven minutes of the fourth quarter, including a personal 8-2 run which put Golden State on top, 107-106, with 4:58 remaining in the game.
"I just tried to be aggressive, that's what coach wanted me to do," Ellis said. "Come out, be aggressive, try to get the team going and that's what I did tonight. I'm not trying to think too much, just let the game come to me and play within the game plan and feed off my teammates."
After Stoudemire converted a three-point play to put Phoenix back on top, 109-107, Stephen Jackson came up with a big 3-pointer with 4:28 remaining to give the Warriors a one-point lead.
Seldom-used reserve Kelenna Azubuike drained a 3-pointer from the baseline and pushed the lead to 113-109 with 3:19 to play.
Phoenix's Steve Nash made it a two-point game with a layup, and the Warriors turned the ball over on the ensuing possession, allowing Hill to tie the game on a reverse layup with 2:31 to play.
Davis scored six straight points to give the Warriors a 119-113 lead with 1:14 left.
"I was able to let the flow of the game come to me," Davis said. "I was being aggressive and I got to my shooting spots and was able to hit the shots as well as find teammates. Monta was phenomenal for us and he's tough to guard in the halfcourt and that's what we need him to do."
Stoudemire had a chance to tie the game again with 3.5 seconds left, but the All-Star center converted only 1-of-2 from the line. Ellis split a pair of free throws to with 2.7 seconds left, and Leandro Barbosa missed a 3-point attempt for Phoenix at the buzzer.
"We wanted to win the game because we've got a game tomorrow night and that's a play that I know we can get," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He's hit a couple of 3s. He was pretty hot and he had a pretty good look at it, it just didn't go in."
Although the Warriors (32-20) are playing their best basketball in years and are 12 games over .500, they are tied with the Houston Rockets (32-20) and Denver Nuggets (32-20) for the seventh spot in the Western Conference.
"We can just keep trucking as best we can," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "We certainly can't complain about our record. There's no complaints at this point at all but the toughest is yet to come. When we get back from the All-Star Game, for the next 30 games, I don't know that there's many easy ones, but nobody's easy for us anyway."
Shaquille O'Neal once again was on the bench for the Suns.
Since he was acquired from the Miami Heat in a trade for forward Shawn Marion and guard Marcus Banks on February 6, O'Neal has practiced but missed the last four games with left hip inflammation.

2U Inc. (NASDAQ:TWOU), provider of a SaaS cloud-based platform that allows non-profit colleges and universities to offer online programs, plans to raise $110.1 million in its upcoming IPO.
The Landover, Maryland-based firm will offer 9.2 million shares at an expected price range of $11-$13 per share. If the IPO can reach the midpoint of that range at $12 per share, TWOU will command a market value of $533 million.
TWOU filed on February 21, 2014.
Lead Underwriters: Credit Suisse Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co.
Underwriters: Needham & Company LLC, Oppenheimer and Co. Inc., Pacific Crest Securities LLC
TWOU offers cloud-based SaaS solutions to enable non-profit higher education institutions to offer their resources online. The firm's platform allows its clients to provide instructor-led courses in a live setting, as well as other educational resources and social networking, to students via web-based and mobile applications. Eight universities currently offer graduate degree programs online via TWOU's solutions, including Georgetown University, the University of Southern California, UC Berkeley, and UNC Chapel Hill. Full course equivalent enrollments in TWOU-enabled programs has grown from 14,099 in calendar 2011 to 31,338 in calendar 2013.
TWOU generates revenue through long-term contracts (usually 10-15 years, initially) for a specified share of the tuition and fees that the firm's clients receive from the students enrolled in TWOU-enabled programs.
TWOU offers the following figures in its S-1 balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2013:
Revenue: $83,127,000.00
Net Loss: ($27,953,000.00)
Total Assets: $28,652,000.00
Total Liabilities: $22,629,000.00
Stockholders' Equity: ($92,024,000.00)
TWOU generated revenues of $29.7 million, $55.9 million and $83.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Over the same periods, the firm posted huge net losses of $24.9 million, $23.1 million and $28.0 million, respectively.
TWOU competes with other providers of similar services, some of which have access to far greater financial resources than TWOU.
Major competitors include EmbanetCompass, which was recently acquired by Pearson (NYSE:PSO), and Deltak, which was recently acquired by John Wiley & Sons (JW/A). TWOU also must compete with online learning solutions, developed in-house by colleges and universities.
Co-founder Christopher Paucek has served as TWOU's CEO since January 2012, and formerly served as the firm's President and COO. He previously served as the CEO of Smarterville Inc. and as vice president of business development and president of Educate Products for Educate Inc. Mr. Paucek received a B.A. from The George Washington University and is currently enrolled in the company's MBA@UNC program at the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
We are neutral on this IPO.
Though TWOU has seen significant losses over the past several years, those losses have remained relatively stable, even as the firm's revenues have grown exponentially, indicating potential for future success.
As online programs grow in popularity, TWOU should be able to cash in on the relationships it has established with universities through long-term contracts. However, we don't think TWOU will see near-term profits, and its decision to pay CEO Christopher Paucek a total compensation of nearly $5 million in 2013 is much more than we think is fair to shareholders and adds to the huge losses.

I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Senior Testimonial: Denika Desert
For graduating student Denika Desert, four years of Pace was filled with opportunity: clubs, Greek life, study abroad, and more...all leading to her next step: graduate school.
"I walked on to campus in fall 2010 as a freshman not knowing what I wanted to do in college but with only goal in mind, to take chance. Four years later I have done more than I ever thought I was able to do and gained so much out of it. Once thing Pace University has given me was opportunity, a chance to be involved and to become the student leader that I have become today. I was given pieces and tools, all I had to do was build my experience the way that I wanted it to go. Through club meetings and trainings I grew and something caught my attention, Greek life. Junior year, I became a sister of the Sigma Iota Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority Inc. and that was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. As a graduate in May I will be transferring into a graduate chapter to continue the work of my organization. My letters are not just four years but they are seriously for life! I knew that I wanted to do. One thing I will never forget was taking the opportunity to be the first of my family to travel to Europe, in spring 2013 I went to Greece with Professor Catalano, a trip I will never forget! Being in clubs and organizations, living on campus, and attending different events I got to know some amazing people! But all good things must come to an end, I will be ending my undergraduate career and become a Pace alumna. I am ready for the next step in life, which is Fordham University for graduate school! Word of advice: GET INVOLVED, Step up, Explore, Question everything, and find the answers to your questions... You make your college experience!!!"

After Mandana Karimi it's Kishwer Merchant, who's trying to gain attention. Bigg Boss 9 house, literally turned into a battleground during the second Luxury Budget Task which was 'FriendsPage' task. Here Prince Narula and Suyyash Rai were seen competing with each other to win the next captaincy of the house.
Kishwer was the first captain and she was announced as a supervisor in the task. While Prince and Suyyash had to gain support with the help of the status that they were to mention on the board.
In this task, the contestants can not only like or dislike their status, but also they can ask them a question related to their journey in the Bigg Boss house.
Well, this task, made the so-called friends, Prince and Suyyash foes, since they were seen arguing many times. Also, Suyyash's girlfriend, Kishwer was also seen arguing with few housemates, by sometimes supporting her boyfriend Suyyash, and making everyone, especially Aman Verma, aware that she was the captain of the house!
Being the captain and supervisor of the 'FriendPage' task, Kishwer shouldn't have supported Suyyash and Prince, she just has to monitor them. But, Kishwer was seen supporting Suyyash, when Aman was seen questioning Suyyash, who was calmly answering her.
When Aman asked Kishwer not to get involved as she is the supervisor, she started arguing with Aman. If that was not enough, Kishwer got into fight with Prince, when he, instead of telling Kishwer, got hyper and ordered Kishwer. She got raised her voice during this task, which was quite irritating.
Before the day ended, Kishwer was seen fighting with Rochelle Rao. Also, previously (Day 8), during Nilami task, she also got into a fight with Roopal Tyagi.
On Day 8, during Nilami task, when Kishwer started arguing with the housemates on how the money gotdeducted, Roopal bluntly asks Kishwer to stop trying to get footage by fighting and raising her voice.
Kishwer Gives Back To Roopal
Kishwer gives Roopal back by saying that she is trying to take a stand just because Salman told her! Kishwer was also seen telling Roopal that it was the latter who tried to get footage by crying when her ex-boyfriend Ankit Gera got eliminated.
Aman was asking Suyyash, why he felt that Aman was negative. Aman also clarified that he had even made a sacrifice by nominating himself; thereby making his girlfriend Kishwer safe during nominations. Hearing her name, Kishwer jumped into the conversation. She started defending her boyfriend. She was seen saying that Aman did that only because she sacrificed her luggage!
Kishwer Shouts, 'She Is The Captain Of The House'
When Aman asked Kishwer to stay away as she is supervisor and cannot support Suyyash/Prince, Kishwer started saying that she is still the captain of the house and she has all rights to speak when her name is taken!
Prince and Kishwer got into an argument during the start of the task itself, when he said he is announcing his status, as per instructions, while Kishwer started arguing that it was not required during first status update.
Prince Makes Kishwer Cry!
Also Kishwer taking sides, when Aman was questioning Suyyash, didn't go well with Prince. She had asked, when Rochelle could defend Keith, why couldn't she!
Later in during the task, the fight between the duo got nasty, and even made Kishwer cry. Prince tried to sort it out but in vain.
Unnecessarily, Kishwer got into a fight again, this time with Rochelle, over a coffee! Kishwer also mispronounced Rochelle's name which irked the latter and started lashing out at Kishwer. Rochelle was even seen discussing the same with her boyfriend Keith Sequeira.
Rochelle even asked Kishwer to not get personal, while Kishwer was seen discussing the same incident with her boyfriend Suyyash!
Kishwer Wants To Break Rules
During the 'FriendPage' task, Kishwer was also seen telling that she is going to break the rules by speaking in English.
