Heather Somers of Groton wins Republican primary for lieutenant governor
Groton town councilor Heather Bond Somers on Wednesday narrowly beat party-endorsed candidate Penny Bacchiochi to become the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor.
It was a tightly contested three-way Republican primary for lieutenant governor that yielded no winner Tuesday night. Vote tallies Wednesday indicated that Somers had won by 771 votes. Bacchiochi, a state representative from Stafford Springs, conceded the race to Somers Wednesday afternoon.
Former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker of Bridgeport came in third.
Somers, a past Groton mayor, will now run with gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley, a Greenwich businessman, against incumbent Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman on Nov. 4.
"I would just like to thank southeastern Connecticut because they came out big for us," Somers said. "And I think that is very important because I think that shows … people in our part of the state are excited about having a seat at the table."
Somers said she probably hadn't slept in three days and that the reason her team succeeded in the close race was because her message of being an "outsider" resonated with people.
"I think we also offered a different skill set," Somers said. "We brought to the table someone with real business experience and also accountable municipal leadership."
On primary day, Somers and her husband Mark Somers headed to Fairfield County to shake hands with voters in Greenwich, she said. They made their way up the Connecticut shoreline to Groton based on reports of busy polls. She had volunteers in 85 towns across Connecticut reporting where the busiest polling places were, she said.
Wednesday morning, the state Secretary of the State's office was still missing vote tallies from about 15 towns and cities. At 3:27 p.m., Secretary of the State Denise Merrill announced in a statement that Somers had officially won the race. There will not be a recount despite the close race because the vote difference was not low enough to trigger an automatic statewide recount, Merrill said.
Somers won by 771 votes, getting 34.5 percent of the vote. Bacchiochi had 33.6 percent of the vote, and Walker came in third with 31.9 percent of the vote. There were 78,421 votes cast, which is 19.6 percent of registered Republicans.
Somers said it was easy to stay positive on primary night because of the energy at The Spot Café, where her supporters had gathered.
"Not only was having these young people on the campaign great, but this excitement for our part of Connecticut that has really been underrepresented at this level before, it's hard to not think you are going to be successful with the kind of energy we had in the room last night," Somers said. "Everyone was really ... optimistic and nobody wanted to leave."
Somers, 48, is serving her fifth term on the Groton Town Council, has served as Groton Town mayor and co-founded Hydrofera LLC, a medical device manufacturing company that was sold to Hollister Inc. in 2012.
Somers repeatedly criticized one of Malloy's Next Five programs that would have provided $115 million for the hedge fund Bridgewater Associates to relocate its headquarters to Stamford from Westport. But the Journal Inquirer recently reported that Somers' former company Hydrofera in 2000 received a $1 million equity investment from the former Connecticut Development Authority, now called CT Innovations.
When Hydrofera was sold to Hollister, the state got about half of its investment back, or $475,000. Somers said in exchange for the $1 million investment, her company was required to create 100 jobs. The company created 40 jobs and paid an $80,000 penalty for not reaching the 100-job mark.
Somers initially got into the race with former gubernatorial candidate Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton. Five days after the Republican State Convention, in which she won 32 percent of delegates' votes, she split from Boughton to run alone and control her own public campaign funds.
Delegates at the Republican State Convention in May endorsed Bacchiochi, who has been a state representative for 12 years and owns her own real estate and property management company in Stafford.
Bacchiochi's campaign may have suffered from comments she and one of her campaign aides made during the campaign. On WTIC radio, Bacchiochi said that one of her opponents was attacking her because her husband and four stepsons are black. Walker accused Bacchiochi of lying and demanded an apology, which she gave. Also during the campaign, a Bacchiochi campaign aide accused Somers of "white privilege" in a Facebook post. Somers called for Bacchiochi to disavow the comments. Bacchiochi fired the consultant, Regina V. Ross Roundtree.
In a press release, Somers thanked the other candidates for running in the primary and offering their names as candidates.
"Now we have 12 weeks to turn our state around by electing Tom Foley as the next governor of Connecticut," Somers said in the release.
Bacchiochi called for unity in her concession.
"This was not the result we had hoped for, that we had worked so hard for the last 17 months. But I fully accept the will of the Republicans voters,'' Bacchiochi said in a statement.
Walker, who Somers frequently called a "Washington insider," and his running mate gubernatorial candidate Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, each lost their respective races. In addition to his time as U.S. comptroller general, Walker was also head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office for 10 years.
"Let me be clear, I will support the ultimate Republican ticket no matter the outcome in the lieutenant governor's race," Walker said. "There is no question in my mind that Connecticut cannot afford another four years of a Malloy administration."
Somers said she and Foley had spoken along the campaign trail.
"I think we found we were on the same wavelength about what we want to see in the future," she said.
The two plan to "hit the ground running" and already have meetings lined up, she said.
"We are ready to have Dan Malloy start counting the days until it's a new direction for the state of Connecticut," Somers said.
Malloy released a new campaign ad on Wednesday following the primary in which he portrays Foley's debate with workers from Fusion Paperboard in Sprague. The company said in July it was laying off 145 workers and closing down the mill after receiving about $2 million in low-interest loans from the state to upgrade its paper machine. The ad quotes Foley as saying to workers and company Logistics Director Michael D'Auria, "You have failed because you lost these jobs."
The ad goes on to say that Foley bankrupt The Bibb Co., a former textile manufacturing company in Georgia, and laid off workers when his company the NTC Group restructured Bibb. Foley's spokesman Chris Cooper said the layoffs occurred after Foley had left Bibb. Foley left Bibb in 1996, and it closed in 1998.
Malloy will hit the campaign trail today, visiting East Hartford, Bridgeport and New Britain.
Somers, meanwhile, said she plans to go to dinner somewhere locally to spend some "good quality time" with one of her daughters and her husband Wednesday evening after she returns thousands of phone calls.

Vote totals
Somers received 27,083 votes, Bacchiochi received 26,312 votes and Walker received 25,026 votes.
The trigger for an automatic statewide recount is a difference of less than 1,000 votes or less than one-half of 1 percentage point, whichever is less. In this race, that would have been a margin of 393 votes. Because Somers received more than that margin — 771 votes — there will be no recount.

1. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - also a tie for # 2Bugatti Veyron Super Sport set the 256 mph record in 2007, in order to better the earlier Bugatti Veyron, but then, Bugatti came back with a vengeance by beating the record by at least 11mph. The Veyron Super Sport gets its power from a 16 cylinder engine helped by 4 bi-turbochargers with a displacement of 487.8 cu in. Because each cylinder has four valves, this means the Veyron SS has a total of 64 valves. Engine generates a total of 1200 horsepower, nearly 200 hp more that the previous model. The Bugatti hits 0-62 mph in less than 3 seconds at 2.4 seconds. The progression in hitting given metrics for the Veyron SS include 150mph at 10 second, 186 mph at under 15 seconds, and in less than a minute, you could be going as fast as 245 mph.
2. Hennessey Venom GTThe Hennessey Venom GT has for an engine a 6.2-liter LS9 twin-turbo V-8, similar to the engine on the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 one of the fastest production cars released. The car is offered in a mid-engine rear drive power-train with horsepower ranging from 725 to 1200. The drive train is provided by a Ricardo 6 speed transmission. Rumors abound that the Hennessey Venom GT has either tied or broken the record of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sports record of 267 mph.
2. Koenigsegg Agera R – also a tie for # 3Bugatti Veyron Super Sport's tail clocking in at a blisteringly fast 0-168 mph in just 14.53 seconds. Powering the Agera R is a Koenigsegg-developed 5.0L V8 Twin Turbo engine. This robust behemoth generates a mind-blowing 1,115hp at 6,900 rpm all the way to 7,250 rpm. All this power is coupled with an impressive 885lb-ft of torque at 4100rpm.
3. SSC Ultimate AeroSSC Ultimate Aero, displacement of this same Chevrolet engine was increased to 6.3 liters and supercharger boost was increased to 14 psi. The results were simply unbelievable: almost 1200 horsepower and more than 1100 Newton meters of torque. Subsequent modifications such as twin-turbos and a new engine block, has allowed the output of the Ultimate Aero to increase even further. SSC Designed V8, 1287 HP, Torque: 1112 lb-ft @ 6150 rpm, max speed: 257.4 mph (414 km/h).
4. Saleen S7 Twin TurboWithin 3 years, automotive engineering worldwide has improved so much that 500+ horsepower is now much easily attainable than when it first appeared. Twin turbochargers are now equipped to the already formidable 7000 cc V8 engine found in the S7 (more on the engine later). 750 HP, Max RPM: 6300 RPM, Torque: 700 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm, Transmission: 6-Speed Manual, 0-60 mph: 2.8 seconds, and Top Speed: 248 mph (399 km/h).
5. Koenigsegg CCXThe aerodynamically contoured CCX is constructed out of carbon fiber and Kevlar. The performance numbers of the Koenigsegg CCX simply cannot be denied. Acceleration numbers of zero-to-100 kilometers per hour at 3.2 seconds and zero-to-200 kilometers per hour at 9.8 seconds indicates that this car is a force to be reckoned with. And a zero-to-300-to-zero time of 29.2 seconds (done by Sport Auto) is a record holder. Engine: 32-valve DOHC V8, Displacement: 4700 cc, Horsepower: 806 HP Max RPM: 7000 RPM, Torque: 693 lb-ft @ 5500 rpm, Transmission: 6-Speed Manual, 0-60 mph: 3.2 seconds, Maximum Speed: 245 mph (395 km/h).

5HTP update – The Dream of the Crazy PenguinSeptember 25, 2009 at 10:19 am | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 1 Comment
Tags: 5HTP, dreams, fatigue, fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid arthritis, seratonin, sleep
I have been taking 5HTP for my fibromyalgia now for several weeks, and my overall verdict is that IT WORKS! My sleep pattern has improved enormously … although Spain did cause a temporary blip! I now get to sleep far more quickly and easily than ever before, and generally if (when) I wake up in the night, I find it easier to get back to sleep than I used to.
I must also be getting better quality sleep because my dreams are SO much less interesting on the whole! I think this is because I'm having less dreams and more deep sleep.
Just to give you an idea of the difference in dreams, here's a pre-5HTP typical dream:
Pollyanna Penguin is driving along a 5-lane motorway and suddenly realises she's lost. Cars are whizzing past on both sides. PP panics, starts to swerve … but it's OK, suddenly the car is flying. Weee … PP still doesn't know where she's going but sails happily over the rest of the cars to a beautiful tropical island. Suddenly hubby is in the car too. They land and … do what penguins and their hubbies like best for a while, before realising the cats are missing. Then a huge panicked chase and attempt at cat herding ensues with much yelling and running around. (At this point … if not before, I'm usually tossing and turning in the bed, throwing the covers around and shouting my head off.)
Post 5HTP dream:
Pollyanna Penguin is driving along a 5-lane motorway and suddenly realises she's lost. Cars are whizzing past on both sides. PP pulls over and wakes hubby up and gets him to look at a map. They work out where they're going, hubby takes over the driving and PP admires the view. The end.
It's a bit boring but so much more restful – my fatigue problems are definitely reduced these days. I can cope with a few boring dreams if I feel this much better for it!

A little further west and we arrive in Santa Monica, LA's oldest beach resort.

Your Trip Manager will give you some history on the city and then show you the famous pier, which serves as a permanent amusement park, complete with a solar powered Ferris wheel. Later, we travel out to LA's quirkiest suburb where anything goes: Venice Beach. A favourite hang out spot for locals, colourful Venice Beach attracts all sorts of people. Get a feel for street life when you hit the buzzing boadwalk, where performers, tattoo artists, hair braiders, musicians and roller bladders gather.

Otherwise, have a look at the Hollywood Bowl programme, pack a picnic and head to an outdoor summer concert or hang out with some of your new friends in the funky bars and live music clubs of Hollywood.
This morning, we board our flight for San Francisco. Colorful, cosmopolitan and creative, San Francisco is packed with characters, free-thinkers, and artists. You'll see the signs of its recent history where it served as the hub of the gold rush, as well as the center for Beatnik and Hippy cultures. Get familiar with this buzzing city as your Trip Manager shows you around San Francisco's key sights. Walk across San Francisco's landmark suspension bridge, the Golden Gate. We stop off at Fisherman's Wharf for a slice of the historic waterfront lifestyle, where you can order some fresh fish or crab from sidewalk stands. You'll also check out the city's iconic row houses on Alamo Square. Thriving with activity, Chinatown is a fun, kitsch experience. Your Trip Manager will take you there to see its hidden spots tonight.

Then eat together at one of its many authentic restaurants.
With 2 full days here, get a real feel for San Francisco and its hilly streets. Chalk up a local experience by jumping on a cable car and exploring the city. If you've booked ahead of time, catch a ferry out to Alcatraz, the former island jail that once held A-list criminals like Al "Scarface" Capone, Soviet spies and crime bosses. Walk around the old cells and get the background on these bad boys. You could turn back the clock to the "Summer of Love" with a visit to cool Haight-Ashbury, the center point of 1960s alternative culture. Once packed with 75000 hippies, it now has chilled-out cafes, record stores, second hand clothes shops and bookstores to rummage through. With over 3000 places to eat and drink, San Francisco has endless choices. Head to the city's gritty Latin American quarter, Mission District, for Mexican tacos or El Salvadorian pupusas (corn flat breads stuffed with cheese, pork or beans) or hit North Beach for some Italian. Tonight there's an included sunset sail out on San Francisco's famous bay.
Get ready to arrive in larger-than-life Las Vegas – a man-made entertainment oasis smack in the middle of the desert. Often dubbed Sin City, it's all about glitz, neon lights, and excess. See the bright lights of this city and its world-famous casinos in a first taste of Vegas kitsch as the group heads down the main drag, the "Strip", and your Trip Manager fills you in on the story behind Vegas. Then cruise downtown to Freemont Street and experience a slice of the spectacular at a light and laser show in a massive pedestrian mall.
With two free days, you've got time to get a real feel for this outrageous town, so keep an eye out for Elvis impersonators and fast-paced chapel weddings! Explore more of the Strip and check out over-the-top versions of international icons, like the Eiffel Tower, Venetian canals and gondolas, a Roman temple or the pyramid, whose nightlight can be seen from the moon. Try your luck at one of the casinos and sit yourself down at a blackjack table with the high-rollers. For a different kind of thrill you can visit a Strip-view roller coaster or sky-high theme park. If you work up an appetite, tuck into an all you can eat buffet or eat from the kitchen of a celebrity chef. Discover the quirky side of Las Vegas' at the Neon Museum and for a look into this town's atomic heyday in the 50s, visit the Atomic Testing Museum. If you just want to relax, position yourself poolside back at the hotel and soak up the Las Vegas sun. There's a chance to discover the mind-blowing landscape of the Grand Canyon, one of the world's most recognizable natural wonders, in a fantastic optional helicopter flight. See an optional variety show with the group then get some pointers on Las Vegas' hot spots from your Trip Manager before your included limo ride; whatever you do make the most of this towns' 24/7 action with some of your new friends.
Leaving Las Vegas behind, we catch a flight and hit New York next. Cool, chic and pumping with urban soul, this is one knock-out town. From yellow cabs to delis, from hit shows to cutting-edge galleries, from iconic monuments to street culture, this city has it all.
Get familiar with the Big Apple as your Trip Manager shows you round New York's core spots today. You'll kick start the day as your Trip Manager opens up Manhattan. See the USA's economic heart on Wall Street and the famous stock exchange NYSE, before checking out the cultural hub of Harlem and the famous Apollo theater, where jazz, blues and soul greats like James Brown performed. You'll see Museum Row, which includes some of the world's most prestigious museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum. Check out the towering Rockefeller center, which took 70 000 workers to build, the Gothic St Patrick's Cathedral and the exclusive jewellery store, Tiffany's before making a sobering stop at the World Trade Center Site, where the Twin Towers once stood. After dinner tonight, we'll all head down to Times Square. Take in the bright night lights of this popular meeting point, right in the thick of the theater district. With free time, maybe you could catch a late show, New York style. Or else, with so much variety and so many places to go, head out with some friends and explore the city's incredible nightlife.
Get up close to one of the world's most recognizable icons, the Statue of Liberty. Then, with a free day, you can take off at your own pace and discover more of the ultimate big city. Get on 2 wheels in a fun optional guided tour and peddle your way through Central Park, New York's heart and "lungs". Our Local Guide knows this popular haunt's hidden spots and will tell you all about this iconic green space. Otherwise, get familiar with New York's various flavors and step into its global kitchen. Try some hand made pasta in atmospheric Little Italy, or authentic noodles from a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in bustling Chinatown. Pick up a bagel and some salami from a deli or buy an authentic American hot dog from a street stand. Use your free time to explore New York's vibrant and diverse neighborhoods up close. Soak up the bohemian feel of the former center point of the folk movement, Greenwich village. This hub of alternative culture still has a buzzing street life and cute, sidewalk cafes. Take a walk through stylish Soho and check out its hip, funky boutiques, the warehouse district and its trademark iron architecture. Shopping-wise, New York is one of the world's hottest cities and a leading trend-setter, so get some tips from your Trip Manager on where to go for the latest fashions. If you're into the hit show "Sex and the City", don't miss your chance to find out more with our fun optional locally guided tour around the girls' favorite city hot spots in New York this afternoon. Use your free night to head back to your favorite city spot for a cocktail or ask your Trip Manager for some fresh ideas and head out with your friends.
Use your free time to get out of the city for a change of scene. Head out to beautiful Brooklyn by walking over the historic Brooklyn Bridge or visit the colourful suburb, the Bronx, known for its zoo and botanical gardens. For something different, hit the Lower East Side and learn about New York's mixed history and immigrants at the Tenement Museum. If you're feeling hungry, visit the Chelsea Market – it's packed with gourmet foods from brownies to lobster. Tonight is the last night on tour, and we're going to make it unforgettable. After a farewell dinner, we'll head straight to the top of New York's most famous landmark, the Empire State Building. Take in the gorgeous night lights of Manhattan and sweeping views over the city from 102 floors up.

Researchers at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in Korea have developed an imprintable and bendable lithium-ion battery that they claim is the world's first, and could hasten the introduction of flexible smartphones that leverage flexible display technology, such as Samsung's Youm flexible OLED.
Samsung first demonstrated this display technology at CES 2013 as the next step in the evolution of mobile-device displays. The battery could also potentially be used in other flexible devices that debuted at the show, such as a wristwatch and a tablet.
Ulsan researchers had help on the technology from Professor John A. Rogers of the University of Illinois, researchers Young-Gi Lee and Gwangman Kim of Korea's Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, and researcher Eunhae Gil of Kangwon National University. Rogers was also part of the team that developed a breakthrough in transient electronics, or electronics that dissolve inside the body.
The Korea JoongAng Daily newspaper first reported the story, citing the South Korea Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, which co-funded the research with the National Research Foundation of Korea.
The key to the flexible battery technology lies in nanomaterials that can be applied to any surface to create fluid-like polymer electrolytes that are solid, not liquid, according to Ulsan researchers. This is in contrast to typical device lithium-ion batteries, which use liquefied electrolytes that are put in square-shaped cases. Researchers say this also makes the flexible battery more stable and less prone to overheating.
"Conventional lithium-ion batteries that use liquefied electrolytes had problems with safety as the film that separates the electrolytes may melt under heat, in which case the positive and negative may come in contact, causing an explosion," Lee told the Korean newspaper. "Because the new battery uses flexible but solid materials, and not liquids, it can be expected to show a much higher level of stability than conventional rechargeable batteries."
This potential explosiveness of the materials in lithium-ion batteries -- which in the past received attention because of exploding mobile devices -- has been in the news again recently in the case of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which has had several instances of liquid leaking lithium-ion batteries. The problems have grounded Boeing's next-generation jumbo jet until they are investigated and resolved.

Purchasing CBD oil on a wholesale in Sheridan Lake basis is not an easy task. There are many things to consider when doing so. In fact, the cost and quality of the oil would depend on the plant it is extracted. Another factor that has a direct impact on the price of the product is the quantity of CBD oil produced by the plant.
Using CBD Pills To Treat Anxiety
CBD oil is one of the most important oils on earth. In fact, industrial hemp oil is not a drug as most people would think. The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our oils are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
Hence, CBD wholesalers in Sheridan Lake need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for. There are numerous fake CBD oil wholesalers in the United States, Canada, and the UK for that matter. More than 90% of wholesalers offer low-quality oils with a purity levels.
Buy CBD Wholesale in Sheridan Lake Colorado
Our prices are quite economical compared to other so-called CBD wholesalers on the market. In fact, most of these people are middlemen or brokers who drive the prices up. That's why you need to buy from the producer if you want the best oil at an affordable price. A one-stop shop is the best place to purchase your CBD materials, oils, and get them shipped to your doorstep. That way you get a high-quality product at a price you could easily afford. One disadvantage of hemp oil is it hasn't been extensively tested on humans as yet. Although hemp oil is likely to have health advantages to humans, it is not established properly by the medical fraternity.
You don't have to visit our shop in person to buy the product. That will help you save time and money in the process. You should extensively research the drug store before buying your products. Remember, there are many scam traders posing off as legitimate drug sellers online.
Since CBD is a natural oil, it is safe to be taken orally. We offer bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil to all our deserving consumers out there. In fact, we are the leading provider of wholesale CBD oil products on the market.

If you would like to purchase this type of CBD oil on a wholesale basis, you need to keep in mind that the cost and high quality of the oil depends on the plant it comes from. Another significant issue is the quantity of the oil that the plant produces. This oil is the most used critical oil on earth. Industrial hemp oil is not a drug. There is also not enough THC contained in it to produce a psychotropic effect. Our oils specifically have No THC and are therefore 100% USA. Many people might come into contact with industrial hemp oil when looking for cannabidiol oil (CBD) to buy. Therefore CBD Oil wholesalers need to do research to ensure you understand exactly what you are searching then selling ultimately to your customers. In the United States, there are many very low quality, fake CBD oil wholesalers, and many sell CBD oils from Canada or the UK. For 90% of the companies the purity levels are 17% to 40%.
Buy CBD Wholesale
They offer very economic rates, specially when compared with other so-called CBD Wholesalers who are actually middlemen (referred to as Brokers) that drive the expense up. It is an ideal way of saving money by going to the farm directly as soon as possible, or even better to get all of the raw CBD Materials, CBD Oil Drop Shipping, Order Fulfillment and Private Label CBD Manufacturing that you need all from one place. You won't have to give up your regular prices to buy it. The advantages offered by hemp oil hasn't been analyzed extensively in humans, so although it likely does have advantages, they have not been established medically and are not ensured.
It isn't necessary to visit in person to shop. That will help you save even more money. To ensure that you avoid scam drug stores, make sure you thoroughly research web drug store websites. It can also be found easily in a local supermarket all throughout the year.
Since all of its components are natural, it is completely safe to take orally. It is possible to find the product either at a shop or on the web. If you would like to purchase bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil products, contact to obtain specific prices. The leading company for Wholesale CBD Products.

Eczema is an allergic reaction that occurs in the skin. It consists mainly of itchy, inflamed patches on the face, elbows, knees, and wrists. Eczema is most commonly found in infants and young children. Eczema is closely associated with asthma and hay fever. All together, they are called atopy. Atopy tends to run in families.
Medical treatment for eczema consists mainly of antihistamines and topical steroid creams.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Probiotics are health-promoting bacteria. The most famous probiotic is Lactobacillus acidophilus , used to make yogurt. Probiotics are thought to have immune-regulating actions. Use of probiotics during pregnancy and after childbirth may reduce risk of childhood eczema, presumably by, in some unknown fashion, normalizing immune response.
The benefits of probiotics for eczema prevention were seen in a small 2001 study. 11 Also, in a very large, long-term, double-blind study, 1,223 pregnant women were given either placebo or a probiotic mixture (containing lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) beginning 2-4 weeks before delivery. 38 Their newborn children then received either probiotics or placebo for 6 months. The results showed that the probiotics mixture markedly reduced incidence of eczema, but not other allergic diseases. A follow-up study of these 1,223 mother-child pairs found that probiotics for mother and infant were not associated with reduced eczema, allergic rhinitis or asthma in children followed through age 5 years. 51 Another study yielded marginal results, 42 and a third study found no benefit at all for the prevention of eczema. This latter study actually demonstrated a modestly increased risk of wheezing bronchitis in those infants who took the lactobacilli. 47 Finally, researchers in another study concluded that not all probiotics are created equal. In this placebo-controlled study involving pregnant women and their infants, Lactobacillus rhamnosus reduced the incidence of eczema in the children, but a strain of Bifidobacterium animalis did not. 49
Lactobacillus plantarum was effective in reducing the severity of eczema symptoms. The randomized trial included 118 children aged 1-13 years with eczema comparing L. plantarum to placebo for 12 weeks. 56
In addition, some but not all double-blind trials have found evidence that infants and children who already have eczema may benefit from the use of probiotics. 12,13,20,21,33-34,39,53 However, in a careful review of 12 studies involving a total of 781 children researchers concluded that there is no convincing evidence that probiotics can effectively treat eczema. 50
If probiotics are beneficial for childhood eczema, they are probably more effective at preventing the condition rather than treating it. 54 Three reviews of numerous studies cautiously conclude that probiotics may help reduce the risk of eczema in infants and children, particularly in those at high risk and when probiotics are given both to mother (before giving birth) and infant. 44,46,48 However, in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 231 infants born to women with allergies, giving Lactobacillus acidophilus to the infants failed to reduce their risk of developing eczema. 40 A review of 29 trials (some of which may be summarized above) found that probiotics used by the mother during pregnancy, or during breastfeeding, and probiotics given directly to infants may reduce the risk of eczema in infants. However, the trials evaluated have at least a moderate risk of bias, which can affect the outcomes of the trials. 58
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Probiotics article.
Early exposure of the infant to allergenic substances found in infant formula may play a role in the development of eczema. Breastfeeding might, therefore, help prevent this condition.
A large study lends credence to this theory. 8 More than 17,000 women in the Republic of Belarus were enrolled. About half were entered in a program that encouraged them to breastfeed (the "intervention group"), while the other half were enrolled in a different program that did not instigate any particular method of infant feeding (the "control group").
The results showed that women encouraged to breastfeed were much more likely to do so than other women. Furthermore, children of women in the intervention group showed almost a 50% reduction in the incidence of eczema.
Interpreting this study is trickier than it might appear. Technically, it does not prove that breastfeeding reduces risk of eczema. Rather, it shows that counseling to breastfeed reduces risk of eczema. However, the implication is fairly compelling: if you breastfeed your child, he or she is less likely to develop eczema.
Another option might be to use special infant formulas that are less allergenic. 10,19 However, it is not actually clear whether this will help. 43
Chinese Herbal Medicine
A combination of traditional Chinese herbs has shown promise as a treatment for eczema. This proprietary formula contains Ledebouriella seseloides , Potentilla chinensis , Akebia clematidis , Rehmannia glutinosa , Paeonia lactiflora , Lophatherum gracile , Dictamnus dasycarpus , Tribulus terrestris , Glycyrrhiza uralensis , and Schizonepeta tenuifolia . In paired double-blind, placebo-controlled trials carried out by one research group, the mixture produced significantly better effects than placebo for both adults and children. 22,23
Each study enrolled approximately 40 people and used a cross-over design in which all participants received the real treatment and placebo for 8 weeks each. Use of the herbal combination significantly reduced eczema symptoms compared to placebo. However, a subsequent study of similar design performed by a different research group failed to find significant benefit. 24 The reason for this discrepancy is not clear.
In a 12 week, double-blind study, a different traditional Chinese herbal formula also failed to prove more effective than placebo for treatment of eczema. 41
Asian herbal creams marketed for eczema have often been found to contain high potency corticosteroid drugs that are not listed on the label. 28
For more information, including safety issues, see the Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine article.
Topical Treatments
Topical creams made from chamomile , licorice , or calendula , alone or in combination, are widely used in Europe to treat eczema. One study of 161 individuals found chamomile cream equally effective as 0.25% hydrocortisone cream for the treatment of eczema. 14 However, the report didn't state whether doctors or patients were blinded as to which treatment was which, so it isn't clear how reliable the results may be. (For information on why "blinding" is essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-Blind Studies?
A study by the same authors (also not double-blind), involving 72 individuals with eczema, found somewhat odd results. In this trial, chamomile was not significantly more effective than placebo, but both were better than 0.5% hydrocortisone cream. 15 It is difficult to interpret what these results actually mean, but they certainly cannot be taken as proof that chamomile cream is effective.
A double-blind study of 30 people compared 1% and 2% licorice cream against placebo cream for eczema. 29 Both proved more effective than placebo, and the 2% preparation was more effective than the 1%.
The herb St. John's wort is most often used for the treatment of depression. St. John's wort contains a substance, hypericin, that is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties, making it potentially useful in eczema as well. In a double-blind study, a cream containing St. John's wort extract was compared against placebo cream in 21 people with mild to moderate eczema symptoms. 25 Study participants used real cream on one arm and the placebo cream on the other. The results indicated that use of St. John's wort cream significantly reduced symptoms.
Another placebo-controlled, double-blind study, enrolling 49 people with eczema, found benefit with a cream containing vitamin B 12 at a concentration of 0.07%. 30 Topical B 12 is thought to work in eczema by affecting local levels of a substance called nitric oxide (NO). A small study of 21 children aged 6 months to 18 years found that topical application of vitamin B 12 for up to 4 weeks improved skin check scores compared to placebo. 52
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 88 people with eczema tested a cream containing extracts of Mahonia aquifolium , Viola tricolor , and Centella asiatica . 45 The results failed to show benefit overall. A post-hoc (after the fact) analysis noted benefits among those participants who were not tested in the hottest time of the year. However, due to the mathematical laws of statistics, such retroactive evaluations are of limited meaningfulness.
Evening Primrose Oil/GLA
Evening primrose oil, taken orally, has been widely used in Europe for the treatment of eczema. Evening primrose is a rich source of the essential fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) . Other sources of GLA include borage oil and black currant oil. However, the most recent and best-designed studies have failed to find GLA supplements helpful for eczema. 3-6,31 More recently, topical application of GLA has been tried. 45
A review of all studies reported up to 1989 found that oral use of evening primrose oil reduced the symptoms of eczema after several months of use, with the greatest improvement noticeable in the level of itching. 1 However, this review has been sharply criticized: it included studies of very poor design, and also, apparently, misinterpreted the results of some of the studies it evaluated. 2
Better designed studies published subsequent to this review have not shown promising results. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study that followed 58 children with eczema for 16 weeks found no difference in effectiveness between evening primrose oil and placebo. 3 A 24-week, double-blind study of 160 adults with eczema failed to find benefit with GLA from borage oil, 4 as did a 12-week study of 151 adults and children. 31 In addition, GLA from evening primrose either alone or in combination with fish oil failed to provide benefits in a 16-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 102 people with eczema. 5 A fourth double-blind trial followed 39 people with hand dermatitis for 24 weeks. Evening primrose oil at a dosage of 6 g daily produced no significant improvement as compared to the placebo. 6
Only one double-blind trial performed subsequent to the 1989 review found therapeutic benefit with evening primrose oil, but it used very high doses of the supplement and found only marginal benefits. 7
The bottom line: At the present time, the balance of the evidence suggests that GLA taken orally is probably not effective for treating eczema.
However, an interesting double-blind study tested the use of undershirts coated with borage oil for treatment of eczema. 45 In this 2-week study of 32 children aged 1-10 years old, use of these coated undershirts appeared to reduce eczema symptoms. However, additional higher quality research studies need to be undertaken to establish whether or not this method of delivery really works.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full GLA article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
A cream containing red vine leaf and licorice extract has shown some promise for the treatment of eczema. 35
One study found that 4 weeks of massage therapy performed by the parents (after a one-time training session with a massage professional) significantly decreased eczema symptoms in children. 26
The herbs burdock , red clover , and Coleus forskohlii , and the supplements quercetin and zinc have also been recommended for eczema, but there is as yet no meaningful evidence that they really work.
A small, 30-day, double-blind trial failed to find vitamin B 6 at a dose of 50 mg daily helpful for eczema. 17
Similarly, an 8-week, double-blind trial of zinc at the high dose of 67 mg daily failed to find any benefit for eczema symptoms. 18 Another that tested a combination of Eleutherococcus , yarrow , and Lamium album also came up with negative results. 36
A widely publicized study supposedly found oral use of the plant sea buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides ) helpful for eczema, but in fact placebo treatment proved equally or more effective. 32
A 2012 review of 11 randomized trials investigating the benefits of various dietary supplements on eczema found only limited evidence for the effectiveness fish oil (rich in omega-3 fatty acids) and the combination of vitamins D and E. 55 A review of 8 trials of 3,366 pregnant and breastfeeding women found evidence that fish oil reduced the risk of eczema for the first year in babies with high allergy risk. The controlled trials which compared fish oil supplements to placebo or no supplementation did not find benefits for general population. 57
Although it is widely believed that food allergies are a major contributor to eczema, this assumption may be incorrect. 37,43

Walters phoned into the ABC talk show Wednesday. Calling from her home, she reported that she's weak but not in any pain.
She was hospitalized on Jan. 19 after fainting and cutting her head at a party in Washington. The 83-year-old has said she had the chickenpox and a temperature at the time, but didn't realize it. She suffered a concussion and got six stitches. She was released 10 days later.
She announced Wednesday: "I'm not itching away."
Then she marveled that the best remedy for itching is an age-old one, saying: "We have Facebook, Twitter and calamine lotion."

Pure Green Coffee Supplements are the most ideal weight loss supplement in the current Milton Ontario market.
The green coffee max supplements that are sold to Milton Ontario customers are made from natural extract. The most effective product in the coffee beans is the naturally occurring Chlorogenic acid that works by slowing down the absorption of fat by the body after meals, or by triggering the body metabolism that metabolizes any extra fat consumed. Through its operations, there is minimal fat stored in the body.
The Chlorogenic acid also reduces the release of glucose by the liver into the blood stream hence no fat is stored in the body. Since most of the nutrients and glucose enter the bloodstream through the large intestines, the acid also prevents the entry of some glucose from the small intestines. If the glucose is not blocked from entering the small intestines, it is stored in form of fat.
Chlorogenic acid found in Green Coffee Bean Max sold to our Milton Ontario customers, stimulates the body's insulin production. Insulin reduces the blood sugar levels by pulling glucose into the cells using it for energy production hence increasing the body metabolism and energy levels. Chlorogenic acid curbs carbohydrate absorption in the body.
Apart from being an efficient Milton ON weight loss supplement, this green coffee supplement also helps in cleansing the blood, lowering cravings, speeding up body metabolism and regulating the blood sugar. The effectiveness of the coffee beans is determined by the concentration and purity of Chlorogenic acid and the quantity of the green coffee supplement taken. Therefore, the green coffee supplement should be taken as directed in order to increase the quality of the weight loss results. Chlorogenic acid is present in this product in high concentrations hence the green coffee we sell in Milton ON are more than effective for weight loss.
Green coffee beans protect Milton users from several health diseases associated with blood sugar and cancer related illnesses hence it is highly recommended, but caution should be taken by the user to only purchase Quality green coffee Products in Milton ON from reputable manufacturers.Author: Rachel Muldy Find us on Google+

Today we finally got our grips on the Lumia 1020, Nokia's soon to be released Windows Phone sporting a 41MP camera with BSI sensor and optical image stabilization.
After the break we have a few initial photos of the device and a quick video of it in action.
What's our verdict (so far)? It's thinner and lighter than you would expect. We also really dig the matte yellow color, which is akin to the Lumia 720. Sure you can feel that hump a bit but ain't it worth it to take such gorgeous photos? We think so.
The phone also packs a few other tidbits that we weren't aware of, but more on that a bit later.

Each week, Sepia Saturday, provides an opportunity for genealogy bloggers to share their family history through photographs.
One item immediately stood out for me in photographic prompt - the man wearing a flat cap.
Below is a photograph of my grandfather William Danson seated with a group of workers at the ICI factory at Thornton, near Fleetwood, Lancashire. Was this some special occasion with Grandad given the pride of place at the front? It is difficult to assess the date - 1930's? William featured in my Sepia Saturday postings in December - this time focusing on his experiences in the First World War and the cards he sent back home to his family.
Here is my husband aged about one with his maternal grandparents Matthew Iley White (a boilermaker) and Alice Armitage of South Shields, County Durham. c. 1939.
Stepping out oblivious of the camera is Grandfather Donaldson, a signwriter and painter, again in South Shields, County Durham.
Turning back to the start of the century c.1903 here is a group of schoolboys including my great uncle George Danson - on the left sporting a flat cap. George was killed in the First World War aged just 22.
In Britain flat caps were generally associated with workers in the north of England and . Think of old photographs and newsreels of men streaming from the mills, or cheering from the football terraces or enlisting for the First World War.

LinkedIn has scoured the profiles of its 187 million members and come up with a new list of overused, useless buzzwords.
These are the words that can be an instant turnoff to a recruiter who sees them over and over again because they show that you aren't "dynamic" with great "communication skills," but the opposite.
"You wouldn't mention how disorganized or irresponsible you are, and their antonyms (organized, trustworthy, etc) are wasted words too," explains LinkedIn's Nicole Williams.
So, if you are using any of these 2012 buzzwords, fire up your LinkedIn profile right now and scrub them out. Here they are, in order of how overused they are:
- Creative
- Organizational
- Effective
- Motivated
- Extensive Experience
- Track Record
- Innovative
- Responsible
- Analytical
- Problem Solving
A few other buzzwords made the list for countries outside the United States. No matter where you live, consider ditching these from your profile, too.
- Experimental (a buzzword in Brazil)
- Multinational (a buzzword in Egypt and Indonesia)
- Specialized (a buzzword in Spain)
By the way, even though some of the buzzwords from 2011 didn't make the Top 10 in 2012, that doesn't mean they've become good words to use again. So, you'll still want to avoid these:
- Communication skills
- Dynamic

Gabelli Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Fund Class AAA
Ticker Symbol: EAAAX
|Recent Quarterly Report
To Our Shareholders,
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires a Fund's principal executive and financial officers to certify the entire contents of the semi-annual and annual shareholder reports in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR. This certification would cover the portfolio manager's commentary and subjective opinions if they are attached to or a part of the financial statements. Many of these comments and opinions would be difficult or impossible to certify. Because we do not want our portfolio managers to eliminate their opinions and/or restrict their commentary to historical facts, we have separated their commentary from the financial statements and investment portfolio.
