You have a unique medical history. Therefore, it is essential to talk with your doctor about your personal risk factors and/or experience with scleroderma. By talking openly and regularly with your doctor, you can take an active role in your care.
General Tips for Gathering Information
Here are some tips that will make it easier for you to talk to your doctor:
- Bring someone else with you. It helps to have another person hear what is said and think of questions to ask.
- Write out your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get, and make sure you understand what you are hearing. Ask for clarification, if necessary.
- Don't be afraid to ask your questions or ask where you can find more information about what you are discussing. You have a right to know.
Specific Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- Is it possible to determine which type of scleroderma I have?
- What kind of symptoms should I immediately call you about?
- What will my medications treat?
- How long will the medications you've prescribed take to work?
- How much improvement should I expect?
- What kinds of side effect should I expect?
- When should I call you about a side effect?
- Are there interactions between my medicines?
- Are there any new treatments for scleroderma?
- Do you recommend that I participate in a clinical trial?
- Are there any clinical trials from which I might benefit?
- Are there any herbal supplements or complementary or alternative therapies that can help me?
- Are there any activities that I should change?
- Can you recommend an appropriate exercise program?
- Should I make any changes to my diet?
- Can you recommend a program to help me stop smoking?
- What can I do to continue my usual activities and protect my hands and feet?
- What can I do to continue my usual activities and protect my skin?
- Are there local support groups I can join?
- How will it affect my life?
- Is it possible to predict the course my condition will follow?

KDE Merchandise Sales to Support Developers
Shawn Gordon of
"I came up with this after discussion with some of the core KDE developers," Gordon says. "There is no decent KDE merchandise and a lot of people would like to have some. We've made some original designs for the various products and have made them available at slightly above cost to the general public. We don't want to, nor will we make money off of this; this is what will happen with the profits:
"We have made
"The idea is to try and help support KDE developers that aren't hired full time to work on KDE. The amount of money they can earn is directly related to how much merchandise gets sold, so it is in everyone's best interest to try and promote this as much as possible. theKompany gets nothing out of this, but is simply the facilitator. We're hoping this can do some good and provide some incentive for all those hard working KDE developers that don't get any compensation for their work," Gordon said.
I must be a geek t-shirt junkie, as I look over my /., wil wheaton, geek tek, Sluggy Freelance, "Fear the penguin", "Tux Rocking", and "Tux-with-a-whip" shirt collection. I plan on soon adding ones from Megatokyo, Penny Arcade, and now, KDE. In fact, I have only two complaints:
1. I wish there was more selection, than just the two different logos. Oh, well.
2. I wish I wasn't poor :-(
Hey! Maybe the KDE developer that gets the grant should also get a free t-shirt (of his/her choice, of course). Then, all I need to do is finish learning c++, kde, and qt, graduate from college, raise my children into adulthood, start contributing heavily to KDE, sign up for the grant thingy, and wait for the free t-shirt to come rolling in!
That would rock...
Thanks Shawn! I always knew you weren't the spawn of the devil! *grin*

Internet Cafes
Why not let internet cafes donate money to KDE developmennt. Let them add like 50 cents an hour per person to the tab and give this money to KDE developers.

New? Innovative?
By Guido Winkelmann at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: New? Innovative?
The new part is that each month a KDE developer can win the profits. That's quite unique as far as I know.
By Waldo Bastian at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: New? Innovative?
Okay - there's something more or less new.
By Guido Winkelmann at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: New? Innovative?
Selling merchandise seems like a good way to support developers, and I wish TheKompany luck in this move. However, I find it a bit strange that Gordon is doing this after criticizing Ximian so much for selling "plush monkeys" to do something similar.
By aigiskos at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: New? Innovative?
actually they were selling plush monkeys as a way to make money for themselves, although I think they were just breaking even on them overall.
By Shawn Gordon at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Idea, logo, slogan
I don't like the idea of a developer lottery, that asks for trouble and enviousness. Why not give the money to KDE e.V. so e.g. booths, flyers and t-shirts for exhibitions can be supported? I don't like the red/blue KDE logo, looks ugly and is not a known brand of KDE. I don't like the slogan "Come get some" for the same reason, Konqui is not Duke Nukem.
Re: Idea, logo, slogan
well the artwork ideas and the logo's came from core KDE developers. I thought it would be best to use people that were actively involved for ideas they thought were appealing. The red/blue logo is artwork from Rik Hemsley that he put into KDE some time back and he wanted to see it on the merchandise.
By Shawn Gordon at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Account records for last two months?
TheKompany's page states: "We'll also be posting the accounting records for the merchandise store so you can see exactly how much is getting generated." According to http://linuxandmain.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=219 this merchandise exists since September. Where can one see the account records for September and October?
this month's winner?
according to the page that came up after registering, this month's winner is one Thomas Birke. congrats to Thomas.
so ... .... who is Thomas Birke?
By Aaron J. Seigo at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: this month's winner?
How much did he win?
By anton at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: this month's winner?
I was wondering about that too. The page said something about Thomas being a kdepim contributor. Unfortunately, Thomas isn't listed in kde-common/accounts and I couldn't find any email written by him in my two month old kdepim list archive, so I'm not exactly sure who is he.

Re: this month's winner?
By Ingo Klöcker at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: this month's winner?
there shouldn't be any winner yet, we just got the pages up a couple days ago, but as has been stated the merchandise has been up for some time. It's test data. We're going to start the disbursements in December so that there is a decent amount of money now that it has officially been made available.
By Shawn Gordon at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: this month's winner?
you think i didn't try that before I posted? ;-)
lists.kde.org brings up one posting by Thomas Birke to the bind-users list. that isn't even a KDE list. the google search (exactly the same one i did actually =) brings up the homepage of a fellow who has a link to kde.org on his website and that's it. so i'm still not really sure who Thomas Birke is in relation to KDE.
congrats to him all the same!
By Aaron J. Seigo at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
yes ..
I like the idea ...
Say .. are these logo's free to use and if so where can I find them? Maybe there should be some poloshirts as well as developers these days are very fond of these. Ask them ... :-)
There has been some discussion on the kde-promo mailinglist about new kde-logos and also a way to sell merchandise to support the KDE-project.
Trouble is that shipping merchandise overseas cost a lot of money. Could get some stuff from kernelconcepts (ask Eva Brucherseifer), but in general it is very hard to get reasonably priced T-shirts/ poloshirts.
What About Contributors That Aren't "Developers"
Will translators, artists, etc., which are considered non-developers, also be part of this support program? I think they should not be left out, since their contributions are just as important as the coders'.
By Menil at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: What About Contributors That Aren't "Developers"
Hadn't really thought about it before, but that is a good idea, as long as they are doing active contributions to the project. Go ahead and sign up.
By Shawn Gordon at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: What About Contributors That Aren't "Developers"
Well, in my opinion they should. My personal stance is that they must either have:
a.) Have contributed extensively to the project (not just occasional patches) or;
b.) Actively maintain a program, documentation, or translation (for a program or document) as maintaining is generally a rare thing people want to do.
Both of those would be a clear way to stand out, but I don't think you need to code. As Shawn said, Shawn will be looking at the CVS logs to find out how much you contribute. The CVS logs don't indicate whether or not it's code.
By Nick Betcher at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: What About Contributors That Aren't "Developers"
I'm translator and our projectmanager does CVS. Does this get my in de CVS-logs?
Re: What About Contributors That Aren't "Developers"
Yeah, I was going to point that out too... I don't have a CVS account, 'cause only project managers do for documentation...

Who manages donations?
I have a small company and germany and make some profits selling products and installations using KDE. I like the project very much and the thoughts of open source and free software. So what I do, I give them the software for free, but I don't work for free, so my time need's to be paid.

Philipp, you sell KDE-desktops? If so .. can I contact you for some info on that?
Re: Who manages donations?
And "yes", u can contact me if u are interested in Linux with KDE,
Gruß Philipp
By Philipp Frenzel at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: Who manages donations?
don't get me wrong ... I'm a already a Linux/kde-user. I just asking this because I want to have some case studies for use during events. SO if that's ok than I contact you.
Re: Who manages donations?
I would bring this up with KDE E.v. and see what they say. The recipient of the donations should probably be decided by them or an election of some sort ... Interesting idea though ;-)
By Adam Treat at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: Who manages donations?
I'm not sure I see the reason for having KDE E.v. involved, if they wanted to do something like this, they could have done it. If they decide that they want to do it instead of us, then we'll let them, but we thought to take some initiative on this since no one else was doing it, and we will also have full accounting out in public view so that there are no secrets as has gone on with some other KDE related projects.
By Shawn Gordon at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: Who manages donations?
I think it is a good step from thekompany to make this offer.
By Philipp Frenzel at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: Who manages donations?
We struggled with the whole idea of how to allocate the money and then just decided that if we or anyone made some decision on it, then we would be seen as judging the relative merits and being subject to some bias, so we decided on the random thing. Our other way is to contribute projects or code where possible. We haven't done so much of this recently because of financial pressures, but we will do more again in the future.
I suppose the easiest way for you to make a decision is if you are particularly interested in a piece of software, then approach the author and offer to pay him to do specific work for you.
By Shawn Gordon at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: Who manages donations?
Donations to KDE developers in general are best handled by KDE e.V., see http://www.kde.org/support.html. KDE e.V. has in the past given money to developers to repair broken hardware, to get new machines for them, to run KDE's servers and also for travel/hotel costs, etc. for expos, hacker meetings or when KDE developers present KDE on conferences.

"Wet Konqui-T-Shirt" Kontest!!
Great :)
By Jad at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: "Wet Konqui-T-Shirt" Kontest!!
Some male developers could act as modell too (wearing KDE requisites) and the pictures could put up at http://women.kde.org. Remember, there are more females than males on earth to become KDE users!
Re: "Wet Konqui-T-Shirt" Kontest!!
One the other hand there are more more male KDE developers and we should keep them happy. But why not :) I think both could be done :)
By Jad at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: "Wet Konqui-T-Shirt" Kontest!!
And who's gonna don those wet shirts? I don't think I'm the only one who would shudder at the thought of seeing geeks in wet t-shirts on stage... hiring some cute female models, on the other hand, sounds attractive, but would eat up all the profits ;-)
By Snarf at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: "Wet Konqui-T-Shirt" Kontest!!
It could work the other way around. You'd need to have a konqui t-shirt to enter the Kontest and the award could be more KDE merchandise. So buy KDE Merchandise and go look for hot chicks (in case you're not one) ;)
By Jad at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: "Wet Konqui-T-Shirt" Kontest!!
I recall that some KDE guys are pretty buff ( there are even some pictures ;-)
By Roberto Alsina at Sat, 2002/11/09 - 6:00am
I'm not really a shirt-and-logo sort of guy (except I did like my "Remember, Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll are only substitutes for caving" one), but I've got a stuffed Tux (one of the 8-inch .... err, 20cm .... ones) and (puts on fire retardant clothing) a similary sized Ximian monkey (well, they were giving them away and I felt obliged to help relieve them of some income) (fire retardant clothing off), but: can someone tell me where I can get a Konqui the same size. I've seen adverts for much bigger ones, but I want one to sit on the shelf. Hey, and if someone could to Konqui *and* Kate that would be really cool. Even if my wife says I am becoming a sad b*****d.

That site runs IIS on Win2k
Has anyone noticed that the site runs IIS on Win2k?
By Aidan Delaney at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: That site runs IIS on Win2k
what site? Our site runs Apache on Debian. I don't know or care what Cafepress is running on :).
By Shawn Gordon at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: That site runs IIS on Win2k
But I do. Is there a way to move the KDE merchandise to an Apache and Linux webstore? This will reflect poorly on our ability to promote Open Source. Only when there's no Open Source webstore that will host kde merchandise should we use a closed source webstore. Until then, I'm not going to make a purchase. I hope you understand.
Re: That site runs IIS on Win2k
I'm sorry, but that is just lame. We don't control how the purchasing takes place, and you aren't hurting anyone but the KDE developers by making a decision like that. Do you understand how Cafepress works?
By Shawn Gordon at Fri, 2002/11/08 - 6:00am
Re: That site runs IIS on Win2k
It's not lame ... it's marketing. If you write a letter to cafepress and express your concern about their website running on IIS and Win2k, and ask them to create a migration strategy with some actionable efforts then I will consider purchasing the merchandise.
By Anonymous at Sat, 2002/11/09 - 6:00am
Re: That site runs IIS on Win2k
OMG! Why don't *you* write a letter? All profits go to the developers, remember?? If you want to help promote KDE and free software buy a shirt, you'll be marketing in motion every time you put it on.
By 150 at Sat, 2002/11/09 - 6:00am
Re: That site runs IIS on Win2k
Well, some people don't believe that the ends justify the means.
Even though your newest announcement is a thing that will earn your company some deserved positive recognition, some will see the use of Microsoft servers to pay KDE developers as "robbing Peter to pay Paul," as it will be indirectly funding a company that actively fights free software like KDE.
So rather than jump on people who feel that way, why not just have some understanding?
By Neil Stevens at Sat, 2002/11/09 - 6:00am
Re: That site runs IIS on Win2k
so what? what relation does cafepress have to do with open software anyways? they are basically the largest custom merchendising company on the web.

Strength training is essential for people in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
Strength training is highly beneficial for males and females of all ages (including preadolescent youngsters). It is essential for people in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
Until about age 50, adults who do not perform resistance exercise lose about 5 pounds of muscle tissue every decade. However, after age 50, the rate of muscle loss doubles to a debilitating 10 pounds every 10 years. Muscle loss is a major problem for a variety of health-related reasons.
Dr. Tom Baechle, my long-time co-author and I have just completed the third edition of our book "Strength Training Past 50." Although it will not be in the bookstores for several months, I want to share 10 reasons why you should be lifting weights:
1- Muscles are responsible for movement, and movement is closely associated with both quality and quantity of life.
2- Muscle loss is accompanied by bone loss, leading to osteopenia, osteoporosis and a higher probability of bone fractures.
3- Muscle loss is accompanied by metabolic rate reduction, which profoundly affects energy utilization and fat accumulation. Quite simply, less muscle means fewer calories burned and more calories stored as fat every day. If you do not perform resistance exercise, every pound of your skeletal muscle burns about 5 to 6 calories a day to maintain tissue functions. However, if you do perform resistance exercise, every pound of your skeletal muscle burns about 9 calories a day to maintain tissue functions. So even when you are sleeping, strength-trained muscles burn 50 percent more calories than non-strength-trained muscles. Consequently, regular resistance exercise is a highly effective means for maintaining desirable body weight and optimal body composition.
4- Muscles are the body's largest storehouse for glycogen, and strength-trained muscles enhance glucose metabolism by increasing insulin sensitivity. Research clearly reveals that strength training is beneficial for the prevention and management of Type 2 diabetes and related health issues.
5- Resistance exercise, like aerobic activity, improves cardiovascular health by reducing resting blood pressure and improving blood cholesterol levels (decreasing "bad" LDL cholesterol and increasing "good" HDL cholesterol).
6- Strength training accelerates food passage through the gastrointestinal system, thereby lowering the risk of colon cancer.
7- Resistance exercise has been shown to reduce the discomfort associated with low back problems, arthritis and fibromyalgia.
8- Strength training has been shown to improve functional abilities for activities for daily living, including faster walking speed, which is closely associated with longevity.
9- Resistance exercise improves self-efficacy, self-esteem and mood states, and reduces or reverses feelings of depression.
10- Stronger older adults have a reduced risk of premature death from all causes of mortality.
This summer, we are conducting a modified eight-week research study on strength/muscle development in men and women over age 50 at our college health and fitness center. If you would like to participate in this highly instructed and supervised exercise program, plan to attend my information session at Quincy College on Thursday, June 12, at 5:15 p.m. in Room 019, Presidents Place. There is no charge to attend, but please call me at 617-984-1716 for seating purposes.
Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D., teaches exercise science at Quincy College and consults for the South Shore YMCA. He has written 25 books on strength training.

Hunter unites with longtime friend, rival Leyland
By Jason Beck / MLB.com
Thursday, February 14, 2013 6:11 PM ET
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Torii Hunter won over Jim Leyland even when his Twins were winning against him. Not even Leyland, noted cynic of clubhouse chemistry, could ignore Hunter's outgoing personality.
It started years ago with a simple line from Hunter taking a dig at Leyland's spikes.
"Knowing that he wore spikes as a manager," Hunter said, "I always used to say, 'Hey, Jimmy Leyland, what's going on, man? You feel like you're going to play today? You never know, you might need a pinch-hitter!'
"The first conversation I ever had with him, he had the spikes on, and that's what he told me, that he might have to pinch-hit. I thought he was funny, and we kind of broke the ice."
For years, Leyland wore spikes as a manager. It was part of his image as an old-school, no-nonsense leader, and he kept it up his first few years as Tigers manager until back problems forced him to hang them up. He wears turf shoes now.
"He always used to tease me about wearing spikes," Leyland recalled. "He got a big kick out of that. I wore spikes for a long, long time. I still would if not for my back. That's how we originally got talking.
"We laughed about it and became kind of friends, as much as you can with the other team."
Don't let the old-school image fool you. Leyland has been known to talk with opposing players he respects. He chatted with Cleveland's All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera on the field one morning before a game last year. He has a great amount of respect for Derek Jeter.
Everything changes when the game begins, but Leyland enjoys talking. He enjoyed talking with Hunter most of all, whether he broke his heart the game before or if he went hitless.
"I always had a lot of respect for him as an opposing player," Leyland said. "I knew he was going to compete hard against you."
Hunter's reputation among his peers, of course, is stellar. Even as he was haunting the Tigers in games, he was friends with many of them. Craig Monroe was one of several outfielders who sought advice from him, and began working out with him in Dallas, where they both live.
The crack about Leyland's spikes and the conversation it sparked began a relationship that carried on long after the height of the Tigers-Twins rivalry.
Hunter signed with the Angels after the 2007 season, meaning he'd face the Tigers two or three series a season instead of six. They found time to talk.
"We talked a lot over the years," Leyland said. "I probably talked to him as much as I had with any opposing player I ever managed against. I don't know, we just hit it off."
Said Hunter: "We'd come in and we'd play those guys, and we'd always meet behind the batting cages during batting practice, and we'd just talk. We had great conversations."
The funny thing about them is that they didn't have much to do with the game.
"We didn't talk about baseball," Hunter said. "We didn't talk about what I was doing right or wrong, because he didn't want me to hurt him or whatever that day. We always talked about life, what was going on, how happy are you. It was a great conversation, I can tell you that."
They had more in common than one would think. Both were raising sons who were becoming standout student-athletes. Patrick Leyland graduated from high school into the Tigers system in 2010. Torii Hunter Jr. will graduate this spring.
The younger Hunter has signed a letter of intent to play football at Notre Dame. Leyland is a huge Notre Dame fan, and usually travels to South Bend for a game each season. Leyland also has a nephew who plays football at Michigan.
Now, obviously, they'll both be wearing the Old English D.
"Little did I know that someday he'd be on the same team as I am," Leyland said. "I didn't really think that, but I'm glad it happened."
They'll be talking a lot about baseball now, obviously, and they'll be talking every day. Hunter reported to Tigers camp on a rainy Thursday morning and immediately hit the batting cages for work with hitting coach Lloyd McClendon.
Hunter said he reported at camp around 212 pounds, building off the benefits he saw when he came to camp lighter last year. He lost 18 by his estimation that offseason, and he felt like he regained some quickness and agility that he had when he was younger.
After 14 full seasons in the big leagues, he has developed a slow, steady approach to Spring Training that might be useful for younger players in camp. At age 37, he's done worrying about spring numbers. What he wants is the approach and the process.
"For me, I don't come in for the results of hitting .300 because you can have a bad swing and get a hit," Hunter said. "My job as a veteran player is to come in and get my timing down, get my foot down, track the ball, different things like that. If I'm hitting the ball hard, it still could be an out. I just want to hit the ball hard, get my foot down, get my timing down, and by the last two weeks or 10 days of Spring Training, turn it up a notch and try to fight going into the season ready to go."
His approach is a process. His chemistry is immediate. Like Prince Fielder a year ago, Hunter walked into the Tigers clubhouse at Joker Marchant Stadium and fit like he had been a Tiger for years.
Victor Martinez welcomed him like a longtime teammate, not a longtime division rival. Fielder joked that he'll be glad to see Hunter steal other people's hits instead of his.
His enthusiasm was infectious, as even Leyland acknowledged.
"He loves the game. He loves to play," Leyland said. "We think he's really going to be good for us. He's another guy that's got one of those good faces. And he plays it. He plays it hard. He comes to beat the other team."
The track record of his teams shows that Hunter's pretty good at beating the other team. That doesn't stop him from talking with them. It couldn't stop him from winning over Leyland long before he thought about playing for him.

Since the AUR only allows users to upload PKGBUILD and other package build related files, but does not provide a means for distributing a binary package, a user may want to create a binary repository of their packages elsewhere. See Pacman Tips#Custom local repository for more information.
If you have your own repository, please add it to this page, so that all the other users will know where to find your packages.
Please keep the lists in alphabetical order.
List of unofficial user repositories
"Any" repos are architecture-independent, i.e. they can be used on both i686 and x86_64 systems.
[arch-fonts] # Prebuilt packages for font packages found in AUR # This should be faster than building from source # as many have download speed of 10KB/s.

text: Friday, December 14, 2012 Need for Educated, Credentialed Fitness Professionals Tops Trends for 2013 For the sixth consecutive year, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has ranked the need for educated and certified health and fitness and clinical exercise program professionals as the top fitness trend. For its survey, ACSM received more than 3,340 responses from health and fitness professionals from almost every continent—Asia, Europe, Australia, Africa, North America, and South America. Specific countries included the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, India, Italy, and Russia. Demographics of the survey respondents included 67% female across a wide variability in ages and 48% having more than 10 years of experience in the industry. Strength training ranked second for the second year in a row. Body weight training, which ranked third, appeared for the first time in the trend survey because it has only now become popular (as a defined trend) in gyms around the world, says ACSM. Programs aimed specifically at the problem of childhood obesity, weight loss programs, and fitness programs for older adults placed fourth, fifth, and sixth, respectively. The trend toward creating incentive programs to stimulate positive healthy behavior change as part of employer-based health promotion programming and health care benefits ranked 15th. Outcome measurements placed 17th in the survey. This is the first time this trend toward accountability has made it into the top 20 spots. Free full text of the article is available in the November/December issue of Health & Fitness Journal.

On Wednesday, Massachusetts regulators ordered the independent broker-dealer LPL Financial (LPLA) to pay up to $2 million to investors who had bought shares of nontraded real estate investment trusts (REITs) and pay a $500,000 administrative fine.
The case, which was announced in in December, concerns close to 600 transactions of nontraded REITS that took place between 2006 to 2009, valued at about $28 million. The Enforcement Division in the Massachusetts Securities Division noted that 36 trades worth about $2.1 million were made in violation of prospectus rules and asset-concentration limitations.
In 33 of the 36 cases, advisors affiliated with LPL Financial and operating in the state broke the asset-concentration limits. In the other three cases, the sales were made in excess of net-worth restrictions, which limit investors 70 and younger to holding a maximum of 20% of their net worth in alternative investments and those older than 70 to holding a maximum of 10% of their net worth in such products.
"LPL worked cooperatively with the commonwealth of Massachusetts to appropriately resolve all of the issues raised, and we are glad to put this matter behind us," said a spokesperson in a statement. "Under the terms of the consent agreement, certain customers, at their discretion, will have an opportunity to sell their shares of nontraded REITs to LPL or its designee for the price they originally paid. We remain committed to ensuring that our clients and the investing public are well served now and in the future."
There are currently 13,352 FAs affiliated with LPL, which is led by Mark Casady (right).
The Massachusetts regulator says it received complaints from multiple investors—including at least one who was 70 years old at the time—who had bought shares of Inland American Real Estate Trust, Cole Credit Property Trust II, III and 1031 Exchange; Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, W. P. Carey Corporate Property Associates 17 and Dividend Capital Total Realty.
Also on Wednesday, LPL Financial released its fourth-quarter and full-year 2012 earnings, as well as plans to restructure certain operations via outsourcing and other measures. It disclosed that it added more than 500 advisors to its network, mainly in the hybrid-RIA channel.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop a cold or influenza with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing a cold or influenza. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
The vast majority of the population in any given area may get colds or influenza during the course of a year. The average rate for adults in the US is 3 or 4 infections per person per year. Children get even more.
Risk factors include:
Smoking greatly increases the frequency of colds in adults. Smokers are also at a higher risk for complications from colds and the flu.
Poor Hygiene
Colds and influenza are passed through person-to-person contact, so people who do not wash their hands are at higher risk of spreading and contracting colds or influenza. Also, touching your nose, mouth, and eyes with contaminated fingers can spread germs to yourself.
Crowded Populations
People in crowded living conditions are at an increased risk, as well.
Medical Conditions
People who have certain medical conditions are at a higher risk for complications. Examples include:
Children and the elderly are at increased risk for complications.
People with physical or mental disabilities may have trouble practicing preventive measures, and they may not be able to easily communicate their symptoms. These issues place them at an increased risk for getting sick and for having complications.

text: Touchstone1972 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2014 July 20–26 at Touchstone Center for Crafts Teapots: Atmospheric Effects for Electric Firing Steven Hill Intermediate–Advanced | $800 Weeklong Workshop In this workshop, we will throw and assemble teapots and cups and work with decorative slip. Steven will discuss his philosophy of making pottery, while throwing, assembling and decorating the forms and techniques for which he is well known. The focus will be on spouts, handles, form, surface, and the relationship between these elements. When glazing, we will address ways to achieve the kind of richness and surface variation in electric kilns that potters have come to associate with fuel-burning kilns and reduction firing. The goal is not to imitate reduction, but to set the stage so that multiple layered glazes can interact with each other in the firing. The basic techniques of spraying and the more advanced theories of layering and blending glazes will be addressed. We will fire at cone 6 oxidation. Demonstrations will be on throwing and assembly, but hand-builders are welcome as well. Steven Hill earned his BFA from Kansas State University in 1973 and has been a studio potter since 1975. His work is exhibited and sold in nationally juried shows, and featured in many ceramics books. He has conducted nearly 200 workshops throughout the United States and Canada, and has written many ceramics articles. In 1998, Steven co-founded Red Star Studios Ceramic Center in Kansas City, Missouri, and he co-founded Center Street Clay in Sandwich, Illinois, in 2006. He is currently doing what he does best: making pots, writing about ceramics, teaching workshops, and letting someone else take care of business!

I love my American Apparel leggings so much, I feel like I wear them so (too) much at the moment. As I've mentioned before they are the perfect alternative to American Apparel Disco Pants. If Disco Pants weren't so long or as tight I'm sure I'd be all for them, but they just don't suit me. These are just so comfortable and easy to wear and so much cheaper. I know I keep raving about them but I absolutely love them!

Elizabeth Orear French
Elizabeth "Liz" "Betty" Watt Orear French, age 91, died Saturday March 1, 2014, at Huntington Place in Janesville. She was born July 31, 1922, to Edison and Floy (Smith) Watt in St. Louis, Missouri, where she grew up and graduated from Ritenour High School in 1939. While attending Central Methodist College in Fayette, MO, she met Errell T. Orear, and they were married in St. Louis on October 5, 1941. His employment as a Kresge store manager eventually brought them to Janesville. Errell passed away in 1986, and after living as a widow for ten years, Elizabeth married Russell B. French in 1996.
Elizabeth graduated sum laude with a Bachelor of Education degree in English from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater in 1964 and from the University of Wisconsin Madison with a Master's degree in 1969. She taught English at Franklin Jr. High from 1964-67 and at Craig High School from 1967 until her retirement in 1987. At Craig she was advisor for the Phoenix, the Craig yearbook, and instructor of many upper-level classes in Shakespeare and World Literature.
In the Janesville community, Elizabeth was a long-time member of Cargill Methodist Church, serving as a Sunday school teacher and the women's society circle chairman. She was also active in the Janesville Women's Club and AAUW, where she organized their first used book sale. She and her first husband, Errell were members of the Janesville Kennel Club and enjoyed showing their Cocker Spaniels and Wheaton Terriers throughout the Midwest.
After retirement, Elizabeth was active in Janesville Little Theater as actress, board member and president, and historian. In addition, she was first a board member and then a teacher for SLU (Seniors Learning Unlimited) at Beloit College where her class "Page and Stage" was very popular. As a board member of Hedberg Library's Friends, she spent many hours as a volunteer in the used book shop and assisted the Rock County Historical Society as a docent at the Lincoln Tallman House for many years. Elizabeth was also a member of the Janesville Area Retired Teachers Association.
After her marriage to Russell French, she became a member of Rock Prairie Presbyterian Church and later the First Congregational Church. She continued her interests in world-wide travel, theater, reading, embroidery, knitting, and collecting English royalty commemoratives. A dog lover all her life, she and Russ shared their home with Clancy, their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Elizabeth is survived by her husband, Russell B. French; her children, Errell T. (Connie) Orear, Jr., of St. Louis, Susan Weddle of Phillips, WI, and Dr. Jeffery (Barbara) Orear of Peshtigo, WI; her grandchildren, Gregory Orear, Sean Orear, Melissa Orear Whipp, Rev. Aaron Orear, Dr. Andrew Weddle, Katherine Weddle Langer, Melanie Orear Corrigan, Dr. Kelly Orear, Megan Orear, and Michael Orear; and eleven (soon-to-be12) great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents; a son, Randall W. Orear; her husband, Errell T. Orear; and her sister, Billie Lou Studer.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday March 8, 2014, at the SCHNEIDER APFEL SCHNEIDER & SCHNEIDER FUNERAL HOME and CREMATORY, Janesville. Rev. Jamie Swanson will preside and entombment will follow in Milton Lawns Memorial Park. Visitation will take place on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. until the hour of service at the SCHNEIDER APFEL SCHNEIDER & SCHNEIDER FUNERAL HOME. Memorial donations may be made in Liz's name to Janesville Little Theater, as she takes her last bow. On-line Guestbook at www.schneiderfuneraldirectors.com
In her farewell message to friends and family, Elizabeth requested, "Please don't cry for me at my funeral! No dirges, no solemnities, no tears are appropriate. Instead, I request smiles, joyful music, and quiet thanks to God." She asked that we celebrate her life for she felt, "No one could ask for more or feel more satisfied of a life well-lived, not wasted but relished, and hopefully of some worth to family and community."

Dear Trafalgar Homeowners and Businesses,
Are looking for an affordable way to have sun protection and create shade in Trafalgar
Whether you are looking for a Homeowner and Business shade sails can add value and protection to your home or Business. If you want to add value to you Trafalgar home or Business shade sails can be a cheap and creative way to do so. Or if you need protection from the suns harsh UVR.
As little as 11 minutes exposure to our harsh Perth Sun can take days or weeks to heal. This is why it is so important to have UV protective shades for the protection of your family and friends. If you are concerned about UV sunlight in your backyard or business open areas you can try out the SunSmart app to see a live reading of what your UVR in the area is, this can help you determine just how much UV protection The Trafalgar area requires.
UV protection is not just about direction sunlight UV lights can be reflected off surfaces and when looking for a shade sail you have to think about the placement to not just stop the sun shining down and look at the reflection of the UV sun.
Estimated reflected UV radiation from different surfaces
Shade Sails in the home have many uses and there are many reasons to buy shade sails for your home.
Over cars - The main appeal to a shade sail for cars is how customisable it is to your driveway space. With a carport shade, you are able to increase the value of your home whilst protecting your family and assets from dangerous UVR rays.
Over pools - To create a truly modern look shade sails are a perfect option, the added UV protection from quality shade sails also helps protect your family. They can be removed during winter so strong winds won't affect or hurt your pool.
Patio - Once again the best part of a shade sail is the amount they can customise the size, shapes and design of the sales to best suit your area.
Sun Protection - Finding a balance of sun and shade, letting light while protecting yourself and family. For this, a high (86%-99%) UV rating on the fabric shade is perfect for finding that balance.
Low maintenance - While being sturdy and adaptable shade sails are low maintenance with just needing a wash and regular check from a professional to keep them sturdy and effective at cutting out the sun.
When planning to put in a shade sail what should you be looking for?
Personal preference - this is what it will always come down to and take the time to look around and compare styles, colour and of course prices.
Style - There are multiple styles to chose from but don't get overwhelmed you can talk to a qualified shade sail installer and designer to get the best fit for your house.
Design- You might be thinking what is there to design its just shade sail but you'll be surprised by the difference a computer custom designed shade sail can make to a shade sail overall look and longevity. A professional knows what to look for when designing a shade sail and often when you go through a company that takes the time to design a shade sail they will have a warranty and assurance that if something goes wrong there is a way to fix it fast.
Fabric - Polyfx is a trusted brand of fabric that has High UV protection, look for 85%-98% as this is what will keep you and your family safe. Rainbow is another trusted brand that has a UV protection of 99% in most colours. Colour will affect the UV and you should look at this when picking a colour too.
Schools- UVR is the most intense between 10am and 3pm when children are at school. Something to keep in mind with schools is that there is legislation for installing shade sails in schools, for example, they must not be located too close to trees to minimise cleaning and maintenance costs and a qualified professional would be the best suited to design and install sails to ensure the safety and well-being of students.
Cafes and Restaurants - Trafalgar Cafes and restaurants often have any outdoor area can benefit greatly from shade sails as they are cheaper than a fixed patio and easy to remove and clean, plus once you have a trustworthy shade sails company they can repair and clean the shades for your business.
Businesses - Indoor and outdoor workers in businesses are subjected to UVR and this is why having a professional Shade Sails asses your Trafalgar Business to see how a shade sail could help keep employees safe from UVR.
Sun Protection - The best shade provides protection from the direct sunlight and excellent coverage of the sky, and side protection from the reflective surfaces. It also considers how shade moves with the position of the sun in the morning, midday and afternoon.
We also recommend in your area the following businesses
- Trafalgar Roller Shutters Installers
- Pest Control Trafalgar
- Trafalgar Painters
- Trafalgar Bouncy Castles for birthday fun
- Shade Sails Trafalgar
- Retractable Screens Trafalgar
- Emergency Solar Hot Water System Trafalgar

Anatomy of a Gut Remodel
A version of this article appears in the May/June 2013 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
May 01, 2013
This is the story of a seemingly simple structural fix that turned into a three-year, award-winning LEED for Homes gut remodel. It took three years because my wife graciously agreed to let me use this project as my personal building science experiment, plus I only worked on it part time. Since I'm a LEED for Homes Green Rater, we also decided to fold in a LEED for Homes certification. This is our sad story, with special emphasis on lessons learned.

How much more of this are xkcd readers going to have put up with this? Are math and physics people really so simpleminded that they seek the affirmation of a stick figure, gently caressing their minds while saying "there there, it's ok, philosopher will never be as clever as you, don't worry. don't worry." ? I doubt it. And of course, anyone else read this comic would probably just be offended. Quite frankly, as far as I can tell, the only people who should like this comic - besides physicists with low self esteem - are philosophers who can laugh at themselves.
It's the same irritating elitism that we saw here and here and I worry that Randall loves it so much it's not going to stop.
More people than usual were irritated enough to e-mail me about it, and I had two guest posts in my inbox and some offers for more. I'll quote a little, just to give a flavor of what is pissing people off:
Sheepdean says:
I am sick and tired of this bullshit that Randall thinks he can attack any degree that isn't in the oh-so-wonderful sciences. What has clearly happened here is that Randall has spoken to someone who has half a brain in their head, and this person has taken a critical eye to a generally accepted, most likely true, scientific theory.
A. K. writes:
Xkcd fanboys will read this comic, and their shrieking snorts of hysteria will punctuate dorm-rooms worldwide. As they wipe tears from glee from their puffy eyes, they'll rejoice at how Randall has once again put those Pesky Philosophy majors In Their Place.
Some will even print out the comic, smudging the ink with their cheeto-greasy fingers in a rush to staple the comic to the noticeboard of their communal kitchen. They'll take a step back, and for a second, admire their passive-aggressiveness as a dog admires itself as it pisses against a tree.
But hey, whatever makes you feel better. Just remember: You aren't a physicist either, Randall, you sell t shirts with pictures of stick figures for a living. And even I - a crazy blogger with a first-grade education - can look down on that.
update: clearly, when I wrote a post accusing Randall of being elitist, I had no idea that the next comic would end with him saying "I am a god."

I don't normally applaud AdvisorOne's coverage, due to my obvious bias, but Melanie Waddell's Feb. 7 article "FINRA Shifts SRO Fight to Senate" is worthy of exception, both because the congressional debate over RIA regulation is an important issue, and because as far as I can tell, all the other media outlets covering the advisor space seem to have gotten the story wrong.
While Financial-Planning.com announced "FINRA Drops Bid to Regulate RIAs" (Feb. 7) and Investment News.com reported "FINRA Calls Ceasefire on RIA Oversight" (Feb. 7), only Melanie seemed to have understood FINRA CEO Richard Ketchum correctly when he said in a Feb. 6 Reuters interview: "We're realistic enough to know that there doesn't appear to be a strong momentum to move forward in Congress [on an RIA SRO]."
In fairness, references to our national legislators can be a bit confusing. The word "Congress" is sometimes used to refer to both houses of Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Yet inside the Washington D.C. beltway, where the RIA reregulation drama is being played out, "Congress" invariably refers to the House (whose members are called congressmen and congresswomen), while the "Senate" refers to, well, the Senate. So, when Mr. Ketchum told Reuters "I'm not a big believer in banging a head [sic] against the wall; we'll focus on things we can impact," when combined with his earlier quote, it may have sounded as if FINRA was moving its bid to become the SRO for RIAs onto the back burner.
But what Ketchum really meant, as Melanie reported, was "FINRA would forgo, for now, its attempts to get the House Financial Services Committee to revisit this year Bachus' SRO bill." Then she went on to quote various sources, including Ron Rhoades, who pointed out that "FINRA has been trying for several months to quietly obtain sponsors for an SRO bill in the Senate, rather than in the House." Rather than throwing in the towel, it seems that FINRA has simply shifted the fight to a new venue.
The broker-dealer SRO, it seems, has set it sights on a new strategy: garnering bipartisan support in the Senate for its oversight of RIAs, under the notion that Republicans in Congress (the House) will be too distracted with other things (such as the federal deficit) to put up much of a fight, and will simply fall in line. FINRA is nothing if not resourceful.
If this seems to be a bit of a desperate plan, after having gone "all in" with its attempt to get its SRO bill through the House Financial Services committee, I'm guessing it probably is. FINRA—both recently and in its former life as the National Association of Securities Dealers—has a history of being better at recognizing genuine threats to the brokerage business than it has been at doing something about them.
Back in the 1980s, the NASD perceived that client-centered financial planning posed a threat to the sale of securities (incorrectly, as it turned out). The then-fractured planning world quickly came together to form what's now called the CFP Board, to own the CFP mark, and the NASD's attempts to regulate financial planning were thwarted.
Then, in the 1990s, the newly renamed FINRA (after its merger with NYSE Regulation) saw an even greater threat (correctly, this time) in the emerging business model of managing client assets for a fee. It failed first in its attempt to prevent brokers from getting in on the fee-based action, and then again in 2004 when the FPA lawsuit prevented it (through the SEC) from exempting fee advice from the client protections of the Investment Advisers Act.
To my mind, FINRA's current attempt to regulate RIAs is a not even a thinly veiled try to protect the brokerage business model from being replaced by independently managed client assets.
We can debate whether levying fees on AUM is more or less client-centered than the brokerage sales model, but there isn't much question that it's better business. Brokers are leaving wirehouses in swarms these days for one simple reason: economics. According to FP Transitions and others, advisory firms that generate their revenues from fees on client AUM are fetching purchase prices between three and four times revenues.
That means an independent practice generating $2 million in revenues will sell for between $6 million and $8 million. That's real money—and an exit payday that wirehouses can't hope to match. But the added burden of FINRA regulation could certainly make independent advice a lot less attractive.

A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop kidney cancer with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing a disease. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
In general, kidney cancer is more common in people after age 50. The incidence of kidney cancer in men is nearly double that of women.
Other factors that may increase your chance of kidney cancer include:
Certain changes in DNA increase the chance of specific cancers. Some DNA changes are inherited from the parent. Inherited conditions that are also associated with a high risk of kidney cancer include:
- Von Hippel-Lindau disease —Causes tumors or cysts in different parts of the body, including the kidneys. Kidney cancer may also develop at a younger age.
- Hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma—A specific type of cancer that forms on the inside lining of the kidney's filtering tubes.
- Hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma—Linked to the development of uterine fibroids (benign tumors found in the wall of the uterus) in women. This syndrome increased the risk of papillary renal cell carcinoma.
- Birt-Hogg-Dube—Linked to the development of benign skin tumors. Risk is increased for different types of kidney and other cancers.
- Familial renal cancer—Linked to the development of head and neck, and adrenal gland tumors. This syndrome is associated with cancer in both kidneys before age 40.
- Hereditary renal oncocytoma—Increases the risk of the development of an oncocytoma. Almost all oncocytomas are benign.
Family History
A strong family history of kidney cancer may increase the chance of developing this cancer. The risk is greatest if a sibling has kidney cancer.
Lifestyle Factors
Kidney cancer is strongly associated with lifestyle factors. The following factors may increase your risk of developing kidney cancer:
- Smoking—Tobacco use more than doubles the risk of kidney cancer and is considered a main cause. Smoke and carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) enter the bloodstream after being inhaled. These agents affect every cell in the body, including the kidneys. The kidneys filter these agents from the blood. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of chemicals cause irritation and damage, increasing the chance of cancer cell development.
- Occupational exposure—Certain jobs may expose you to asbestos, organic solvents, or the metal cadium. Chemicals that are inhaled or absorbed through the skin may be filtered through the kidneys, causing irritation and damage.
Medical Conditions and Medications
Medical treatments and conditions that may have an increase in the risk of kidney cancer include:
- High blood pressure
- High blood pressure medication called diuretics—It is not clear if the high blood pressure itself, medication itself, or the combination of them causes the increased risk.
- Phenacentin—A pain medication.
- Advanced kidney diseases that require dialysis.

An arrhenoblastoma is a rare type of ovarian tumor. This tumor primarily secretes the male sex hormone, testosterone, and rarely the female sex hormone, estrogen.
Arrhenoblastomas are generally benign, meaning they do not normally spread beyond the ovary.
Risk Factors
Arrhenoblastomas are most common in young women between the ages of 20 and 30 years of age. However, they can occur at any age, including in toddlers, young girls, and postmenopausal women.
Arrhenoblastoma may also be a rare complication of pregnancy.
In many cases, infrequent menstrual periods or cessation of menstrual periods is the only symptom.
In up to 1 in 3 patients, arrhenoblastoma is accompanied by masculinization, including any of the following:
- Acne
- Deepening voice
- Hirsutism (increased facial hair)
- Enlarged clitoris
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests to check hormone levels.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with ultrasound .
Treatment involves surgery to remove one or both ovaries. This procedure is usually successful in returning normal menstruation (in premenopausal women) and ceasing masculinization. If the tumor is late stage and particularly aggressive (which is rare), radiation therapy , chemotherapy , or both, in addition to surgery, may be needed.

Earthways Center Teaches by Example
A version of this article appears in the November/December 2005 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
November 01, 2005
This St. Louis, Missouri, teaching center promotes green building and home performance through its guided tours and training programs while serving as a model for green and energy-efficient design.
EarthWays Center, a division of Missouri Botanical Garden, promotes sustainable energy and resource use. Based in a stately old brick home in midtown St. Louis that has been completely renovated to model sustainability in buildings and personal lifestyle choices, its educational programs have earned respect throughout Missouri and around the Midwest, addressing energy efficiency, recycling and waste reduction, air quality, and green building. Expertise of the current staff includes environmental education, public policy, engineering, media communications, and multiple specialties they like to call applied sustainability. This 1885 vintage Victorian has been through cycles of major change. Originally a gracious single-family home, it was abandoned by its last live in owner and stood vacant for over 13 years. The house had become a derelict shell by the early 1990s, an ideal candidate for a gut rehab. A local environmental group raised $1/2 million in cash and contributed goods and services, and redeveloped the site for educational use. It was opened to the public in 1994. The EarthWays facility houses an impressive array of green features, including a groundsource heating and cooling system for the first floor and a high-efficiency gas furnace for the second floor; 2 x 6 reframing of all exteriorwalls and superinsulation using blown-in cellulose ...

Testing Duct Testers
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2012 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
June 29, 2012
According to DOE's Building America program data, typical residential ductwork efficiency is about 67%. That means that if you install a 90% efficient furnace, your system efficiency would be just over 60%. Another way to look at this is that ducts lose 25–40% of the energy that moves through them. Just from a practical standpoint it makes sense to improve the delivery system. Shorter, straighter, better engineered and installed ductwork will improve delivery efficiency.

Bangin' Grilled Shrimp Skewers
I've had it on my mind to turn my popular Banging Good Shrimp recipe into a summer dish you can make right on the grill. Now that the weather is warmer, we've been grilling almost every night. The excitement of being able to grill again and not dirty my kitchen is always great!
These shrimp skewers are the bomb! The spicy, salty, sweet combination of the creamy chili sauce is what makes them so good. I actually doubled the sauce recipe to see what else I can add it to this week!
These make a fabulous appetizer, 2 skewers would be a perfect starter to any party paired with Asian Cabbage Mango Slaw or you could turn it into a weeknight meal served over Edamame Fried Rice. Enjoy!!
Bangin' Grilled Shrimp Skewers
- 2 1/2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp scallions, chopped fine
- 1 1/2 tbsp Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Sriracha, or to taste
For the Shrimp:
- 40 large, 12.8 oz raw shrimp, shelled and deveined (weight after peeled)
- fresh cracked pepper
- oil spray

Scientific Evaluations of Homeopathic Remedies for Other Conditions
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 40 people with asthma severe enough to require corticosteroid treatment, use of an injected homeopathic remedy consisting of Asclepias vincetoxicum and Sulphur significantly improved symptoms. 1 See also the discussion of allergic asthma in the article on allergies .
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 44 people with generalized anxiety disorder , found that use of constitutional homeopathy did not significantly improve symptoms. 2
Attention Deficit Disorder
In a double-blind study of 62 children with attention deficit disorder , use of constitutional homeopathic remedies proved more effective than placebo. 5 However, a similar study of 43 children, again using constitutional remedies, failed to find statistically significant benefits. 6
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A six-monthy double blind study failed to find constitutional homeopathy convincingly more effective than placebo for treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome . 7 However, homeopathic consultation itself proved to have a dramatically beneficial effect, regardless of whether participants were subsequently given placebo or the actual prescribed homeopathic treatment.
In a small double-blind, placebo-controlled study, oral use of a low dilution homeopathic remedy containing potassium bromide, sodium bromide, nickel sulfate, and sodium chloride significantly improved symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis (including dandruff). 3
Weight Loss
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the potential benefits of homeopathic thyroid hormone (30c) in weight loss . 4 A total of 208 people were enrolled in the study. All study participants were undergoing a fast, and had reached a plateau where they were no longer rapidly losing weight. Use of homeopathic thyroid significantly enhanced the rate of weight loss.
Dengue Fever
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in Honduras failed to find a combination homeopathic remedy more effective than placebo for treatment of dengue fever. 8
