This is the sixth of eight new articles by Olivia Mellan and Sherry Christie that continue the discussion on Your Client's Brain that began with Investment Advisor's February 2013 cover story—Double Think: Getting Past the Conflict in Your Clients' Two Brains—and a feature article—Second Thoughts: Making Better Decisions—in the March 2013 issue of IA.
There are many body-based techniques for reducing feelings of stress. One of the simplest is Hand On the Heart from therapist and trainer Linda Graham's new book, "Bouncing Back: Rewiring Your Brain for Maximum Resilience and Well-Being." To restore calm in yourself, she recommends you follow these four steps (edited here for brevity):
1. Begin by placing your hand on your heart, feeling the warmth of your own touch. Breathe gently and deeply into your heart center. Breathe in any sense of goodness, safety, trust, acceptance and ease you can muster. Breathe a sense of calm and peace into your heart center… a sense of contentment, well-being, a sense of kindness for yourself, gratitude for others, self-care and self-love.
2. Once that's steady, call to mind a moment of being with someone who loves you unconditionally, someone you feel completely safe with, at a moment when you felt seen and accepted, loved and cherished. It may be a beloved partner or a beloved child or parent, a dear friend, a trusted teacher, a close colleague or neighbor, your therapist, your grandmother, a third-grade teacher or a spiritual figure like Jesus or the Dalai Lama; it could be your Wiser Self. It could be a beloved pet.
3. As you remember feeling safe and loved with this person or pet, see if you can sense in your body the positive feelings and sensations that come up with that memory. Really savor this feeling of warmth, safety, trust and love in your body. Take a moment to allow the feeling to become steady in your body.
4. When that feeling is steady, let go of the image and simply bathe in the feeling itself for 30 seconds. Savor the rich nurturing of this feeling; let it really soak in.
"We come into steady calm by experiencing moments of feeling safe, loved and cherished, and letting those moments register in our body and encode new circuitry in our brain," explained Graham. Neural pathways to the brain signal it to release oxytocin, which evokes a sense of safe connection with others and immediately reduces feelings of stress. (A variation taught by Buddhist meditation teachers and authors James Baraz and Tara Brach: place your hand on your own cheek and say gently, "Oh, sweetheart!" Your touch and kind intention toward yourself will release oxytocin as well.)
Breathing deeply, gently and fully activates the parasympathetic branch of our autonomic nervous system. This balances the revving up of the fight-or-flight response generated by stress, restoring brain-body equilibrium. Breathing or pranayama, Graham added, has been a core practice in yoga and meditation to relax the body and steady the mind for over 3,500 years.
We invite you to visit the Your Client's Brain landing page on AdvisorOne for additional archived and ongoing coverage of this important topic.

The rapidly approaching fifth anniversary of the Lehman Brothers bust is bringing with it reflections of how far we've come. Yet general agreement is it's not far enough, especially in light of another disappointing jobs report for August.
Nobel laureate and political gadfly Paul Krugman wrote a particularly scathing piece in The New York Times on Thursday, calling President Barack Obama's economic policies since the 2008 collapse a "horrifying failure." Playing off the old adage, when you've lost Paul Krugman, you've lost middle America.
"Set aside the politics for a moment, and ask what the past five years would have looked like if the U.S. government had actually been able and willing to do what textbook macroeconomics says it should have done — namely, make a big enough push for job creation to offset the effects of the financial crunch and the housing bust, postponing fiscal austerity and tax increases until the private sector was ready to take up the slack," Krugman breathlessly began.
His back-of-the-envelope calculation of what such a program would have looked like revealed a stimulus about three times as large as the actual stimulus, "would have been much more focused on spending rather than tax cuts."
Would such a policy have worked? All the evidence of the past five years says yes, he argued.
"The Obama stimulus, inadequate as it was, stopped the economy's plunge in 2009. Europe's experiment in anti-stimulus—the harsh spending cuts imposed on debtor nations—didn't produce the promised surge in private-sector confidence. Instead, it produced severe economic contraction, just as textbook economics predicted. Government spending on job creation would, indeed, have created jobs."
But what about debt, he asked before answering. According to his "rough calculation," federal debt currently held by the public would have been about $1 trillion more than it actually is, and "alarmist warnings about the dangers of modestly higher debt have proved false."
"Meanwhile, the economy would also have been stronger, so that the ratio of debt to GDP — the usual measure of a country's fiscal position — would have been only a few points higher. Does anyone seriously think that this difference would have provoked a fiscal crisis?"
He concluded with a pox on both their houses, and noted it was important to realize how badly the country's policy failed and continues to fail.
"Right now, Washington seems divided between Republicans who denounce any kind of government action — who insist that all the policies and programs that mitigated the crisis actually made it worse — and Obama loyalists who insist that they did a great job because the world didn't totally melt down. Obviously, the Obama people are less wrong than the Republicans. But, by any objective standard, U.S. economic policy since Lehman has been an astonishing, horrifying failure."

Mistletoe Extracts (PDQ®): Integrative, alternative, and complementary therapies - Patient Information [NCI]Skip to the navigation
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
- Mistletoe is a semiparasitic plant that grows on several types of common trees such as apple, oak, pine, and elm. Mistletoe extract has been used since ancient times to treat many ailments (see Question 1).
- Mistletoe is one of the most widely studied complementary and alternative medicine therapies in people with cancer. In certain European countries, preparations made from European mistletoe are among the most prescribed drugs for patients with cancer (see Question 1).
- Mistletoe extract has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory and to affect the immune system. However, there is limited evidence that mistletoe's effects on the immune system help the body fight cancer (see Question 2 and Question 3).
- Mistletoe extracts are usually given by injection under the skin or, less often, into a vein, into the pleural cavity, or into the tumor. (see Question 4).
- Animal studies have suggested that mistletoe may be useful in decreasing the side effects of standard anticancer therapy, such as chemotherapy and radiation (see Question 5).
- A large number of human studies using mistletoe to treat cancer have been done since the early 1960s, but major weaknesses in many of these have raised doubts about their findings (see Question 6).
- Very few harmful side effects have been reported from the use of mistletoe extract (see Question 7).
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved mistletoe as a treatment for cancer or any other medical condition (see Question 8).
- The FDA does not allow injectable mistletoe to be imported, sold, or used except for clinical research (see Question 8).
Questions and Answers About Mistletoe
Mistletoe is a semiparasitic plant that grows on several types of trees, including apple, oak, maple, elm, pine, and birch. It has been used for centuries to treat medical conditions such as epilepsy, hypertension, headaches, menopausal symptoms, infertility, arthritis, and rheumatism.
Mistletoe is one of the most widely studied complementary and alternative medicine therapies for cancer. In certain European countries, extracts made from European mistletoe are among the most prescribed therapies for cancer patients. These products are made and sold under brand names including:
- Iscador (also called Iscar).
- Helixor.
- Iscucin.
- Lektinol (also called Plenosol).
- abnobaVISCUM.
Brand names including Eurixor, Isorel, and Vysorel are no longer sold.
This summary discusses research done mainly with the European mistletoe species.
The chemical makeup of mistletoe products varies, depending on many factors, including:
- The type of host tree on which the mistletoe plant grows.
- The time of year the plant is harvested.
- The exact species of mistletoe.
- Whether the extract is fermented or unfermented.
- Whether the extract is prepared with homeopathic methods.
- The company that makes the product.
Mistletoe extracts are prepared as water-based solutions or solutions of water and alcohol. Mistletoe products may be named according to the type of host tree on which the plant grows. For example, IscadorM is from apple trees, IscadorP comes from pine trees, IscadorQu is from oak trees, and IscadorU comes from elm trees. Some users believe that the type of mistletoe extract chosen should depend on the type of tumor and the sex of the patient.What is the history of the discovery and use of mistletoe as a complementary or alternative treatment for cancer?
Mistletoe was used by the Druids and the ancient Greeks, and appears in legend and folklore as a panacea or "cure -all". Modern interest in mistletoe as a possible treatment for cancer began in the 1920s.
Extracts of mistletoe have been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory and to boost the immune system (the complex group of organs and cells that defends the body against infection or disease). For this reason, mistletoe has been classified as a type of biological response modifier (a substance that stimulates the body's response to infection and disease). Extracts of mistletoe have also been shown in the laboratory to prevent the growth of new blood vessels needed for tumors to grow.
Ingredients in mistletoe that have been studied for their usefulness in treating cancer include:
- Alkaloids.
- Viscotoxins.
- Polysaccharides.
- Lectins.
Mistletoe extract is studied as a possible anticancer agent because it has been shown to:
- Have effects on the immune system.
- Kill mouse, rat, and human cancer cells in the laboratory.
- Protect the DNA in white blood cells in the laboratory, including cells that have been exposed to DNA-damaging chemotherapy drugs.
See the PDQ health professional summary on Mistletoe Extracts for more information on theory.How is mistletoe administered?
Mistletoe extracts are usually given by injection under the skin (subcutaneous). Less common ways to give mistletoe include by mouth, into a vein (intravenous or IV), into the pleural cavity, or into the tumor. In most reported studies, injections under the skin were given 2 to 3 times a week for various lengths of time.What preclinical (laboratory or animal) studies have been conducted using mistletoe?
Many laboratory and animal studies have been done with mistletoe, either alone or combined with other agents. Laboratory studies have suggested that mistletoe may support the immune system by increasing the number and activity of various types of white blood cells.
Studies testing mistletoe's ability to stop cancer cell growth in animals have yielded mixed and inconsistent results, depending on the extract used, the dose tested, the way it was given (injected under the skin or into the peritoneal cavity), and the type of cancer studied.Have any clinical trials (research studies with people) been conducted using mistletoe?
Most clinical trials using mistletoe to treat cancer have been done in Europe. Most study results have been published in German. Although many of these trials have reported mistletoe to be effective, there are major weaknesses in almost all that raise doubts about their findings. Weaknesses have included small numbers of patients, incomplete patient data, lack of information about mistletoe dose, and problems with study design.
Many studies involve using mistletoe as adjuvant therapy in patients with cancer. One retrospective cohort study done in Europe between 1993 and 2000 looked at the use of a mistletoe extract (Iscador) as long-term adjuvant therapy in 800 patients treated with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for colorectal cancer that had not spread. The study found that patients treated with Iscador had fewer adverse events, better symptom relief, and improved disease-free survival compared to patients who did not receive Iscador as adjuvant therapy.
A European study published in 2013 looked at the use of IscadorQu in advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Patients received best supportive care and were randomly assigned to receive either Iscador Qu or no anticancer therapy. Results in 220 patients showed that those treated with Iscador had improved survival and less severe disease-related symptoms (including pain, weight loss, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, and anxiety) compared with those who did not receive IscadorQu.
A European study done between 1978 and 1987 looked at the use of IscadorU and IscadorQu in non-small cell lung cancer that could not be treated with surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to receive one of 3 treatments: (1) Iscador injections; (2) Polyerga Neu injections (a sheep spleen preparation said to stimulate the immune system and have antitumor effects); or (3) placebo injections of a vitamin B mixture. Results in 312 patients showed no differences among the 3 groups in survival or tumor response. It was noted that more patients in the Iscador group reported an improved sense of well-being compared with patients in the other groups.
Before researchers can conduct clinical drug research in the United States, they must file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA does not make information public about IND applications or approvals; this information can be made public only by the applicants. In the last decade, at least two U.S. investigators were given approval to conduct clinical trials of mistletoe as a treatment for people with cancer. These clinical trials are now closed.
In 2002, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), in cooperation with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), began enrolling patients for a phase I clinical trial of a mistletoe extract (Helixor A) and gemcitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors. This combination showed low toxicity and no botanical -drug interactions were reported.
Reviews of many clinical trials combined
Findings from over 50 clinical trials using mistletoe extracts in patients with cancer have been published. Recent reviews of many studies taken together have looked at the effects of mistletoe on quality of life, survival, and symptom relief in different types of cancer:
- Quality of life was measured in a review that included 26 randomized clinical trials. Of these, 22 trials showed patients had improved quality of life. All 10 nonrandomized, controlled clinical trials reviewed also reported the same benefits. Chemotherapy-related fatigue, nausea and vomiting, depression, emotional well-being, and concentration improved. Some of the studies were well designed, while others had weaknesses.
- Tumor response, quality of life, and psychological distress were measured in a review of 21 randomized clinical trials in patients with different types of cancer. A variety of mistletoe extracts were used either alone, with chemotherapy, or with radiation therapy. Most of the studies reported benefits for patients, although this review had weaknesses in design and size.
- Quality of life and survival were measured in a review of 10 randomized clinical trials which used a variety of mistletoe extracts in patients with different types of cancer. There was no difference in survival or quality of life measures in patients who received mistletoe compared to those who did not.
Very few serious side effects have been reported from the use of mistletoe extract products. Common side effects include soreness and inflammation at injection sites, headache, fever, and chills.
One review surveyed many animal and human studies that used European mistletoe and mistletoe lectins. Different doses and ways to give mistletoe were used. Treatment was not found to lessen immune system responses. High doses of mistletoe lectins damaged the liver in some cases; this damage was correctable. Another review of clinical trials reported adverse effects that included increased circulatory problems, thrombophlebitis, swelling of lymph nodes, and allergic reactions.
A few cases of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylactic shock, have been reported.Is mistletoe approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a cancer treatment in the United States?
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the use of mistletoe as a treatment for cancer or any other medical condition. The FDA does not allow injectable mistletoe extracts to be imported or used except for clinical research.

The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Integrative, Alternative, and Complementary Therapies Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's website. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

General CAM Information
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)-also called integrative medicine-includes a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. A therapy is generally called complementary when it is used in addition to conventional treatments; it is often called alternative when it is used instead of conventional treatment. (Conventional treatments are those that are widely accepted and practiced by the mainstream medical community.) Depending on how they are used, some therapies can be considered either complementary or alternative. Complementary and alternative therapies are used in an effort to prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects and symptoms, or control or cure disease.
Unlike conventional treatments for cancer, complementary and alternative therapies are often not covered by insurance companies. Patients should check with their insurance provider to find out about coverage for complementary and alternative therapies.
Cancer patients considering complementary and alternative therapies should discuss this decision with their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist as they would any type of treatment. Some complementary and alternative therapies may affect their standard treatment or may be harmful when used with conventional treatment.
Evaluation of CAM Therapies
It is important that the same scientific methods used to test conventional therapies are used to test CAM therapies. The National Cancer Institute and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials (research studies) at medical centers to test CAM therapies for use in cancer.
Conventional approaches to cancer treatment have generally been studied for safety and effectiveness through a scientific process that includes clinical trials with large numbers of patients. Less is known about the safety and effectiveness of complementary and alternative methods. Few CAM therapies have been tested using demanding scientific methods. A small number of CAM therapies that were thought to be purely alternative approaches are now being used in cancer treatment-not as cures, but as complementary therapies that may help patients feel better and recover faster. One example is acupuncture. According to a panel of experts at a National Institutes of Health (NIH) meeting in November 1997, acupuncture has been found to help control nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and pain related to surgery. However, some approaches, such as the use of laetrile, have been studied and found not to work and to possibly cause harm.
The NCI Best Case Series Program which was started in 1991, is one way CAM approaches that are being used in practice are being studied. The program is overseen by the NCI's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM). Health care professionals who offer alternative cancer therapies submit their patients' medical records and related materials to OCCAM. OCCAM carefully reviews these materials to see if any seem worth further research.
Questions to Ask Your Health Care Provider About CAM
When considering complementary and alternative therapies, patients should ask their health care provider the following questions:
- What side effects can be expected?
- What are the risks related to this therapy?
- What benefits can be expected from this therapy?
- Do the known benefits outweigh the risks?
- Will the therapy affect conventional treatment?
- Is this therapy part of a clinical trial?
- If so, who is the sponsor of the trial?
- Will the therapy be covered by health insurance?

You can take several steps to reduce your risk of developing cirrhosis.
Abstain From or Moderate Alcohol Use
Alcohol use disorder is the most common cause of cirrhosis in the US. Not all people who have problems controlling alcohol develop cirrhosis.
Your chance of developing alcohol-related cirrhosis increases with:
- The more you drink at each episode
- If you drink frequently
Abstain from Tobacco
The liver is the target of many cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco. It is known that people with cirrhosis are at an increased risk of developing liver cancer, which is increased with smoking. Smoking also causes lung diseases. This can lead to low oxygen levels in the body. People with low body oxygen have an increased risk of dying after a liver transplant.
Reduce Your Risk of Contracting Hepatitis
Hepatitis B and C can be transmitted sexually. To reduce your risk of infection, practice safe sex. This means that men should always use a condom during sexual activity and intercourse. If you are a woman, you should require your partner to use a condom even if you are using birth control pills.
Hepatitis B and C can be transmitted through blood products and through use of contaminated needles and syringes. Avoid using IV drugs. If you do use these drugs, do not share needles or syringes with anyone.
Ask your doctor if you should get vaccinated against hepatitis B.
Treat Non-Infectious Hepatitis
Autoimmune hepatitis and other non-infectious forms of hepatitis may lead to cirrhosis if left untreated. Follow the treatment plan advised by your doctor if you have a non-infectious form of hepatitis.
Screen for Genetic Disease
Once you know that you have a genetic cause of your liver disease, ask your doctor to screen your immediate family.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Obesity is a major cause of liver disease. Eating a healthy diet and getting appropriate exercise are 2 important steps anyone can take that will reduce the risk for chronic liver disease.

New products introduced over the last week include a new turnkey offering from Genworth Wealth Management; lower fees on 18 Vanguard funds; a new suite of four model portfolios from a teamup of Jefferson National and Braver Capital Management; and a new fixed indexed annuity from Allianz Life.
In addition, Credit Suisse announced a new ETN linked to covered calls on gold shares; WisdomTree launched a new actively managed corporate bond ETF; Russell introduced a new series of indexes; and Jemstep launched an online portfolio manager.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) Genworth Wealth Management Introduces New Turnkey Offering
Genworth Financial Wealth Management, a subsidiary of Genworth Financial, announced Thursday the introduction of GPS Select Solutions, a suite of solutions consisting of portfolios that incorporate the strategies of multiple portfolio strategists within single accounts. The portfolios offer financial advisors on the Genworth Wealth Management platform new ways to help clients.
Advisors can use GPS Select Solutions' diversified, multistrategist portfolios to provide either a comprehensive investment solution directed at a broad goal, or a targeted complement to other holdings. GPS Select Solutions feature seven new portfolios that align with client goals: GPS Select Accumulation; GPS Select Accumulation Plus; GPS Select Retirement Income; GPS Select Wealth Preservation; GPS Select Low Volatility; GPS Select Multi Asset Income; and GPS Select Tactical Advantage.
2) Fees Drop on 18 Vanguard Funds
Vanguard said Monday that 18 of 28 funds had slightly lower expense ratios, according to the latest reports shared with investors this month. Of the other 10 funds, the fees of eight remained unchanged, while two had small increases.
(The popular fund family released the figures for Admiral and Investor shares, as well as for Institutional and Institutional Plus shares.)
For instance, 11 target-date retirement funds (2010-2055) had a 0.01% decrease in expenses. The fee ratio on the Target Retirement 2030 Fund dropped from 0.18% to 0.17%.

3) Jefferson National, Braver Capital Management Launch New Portfolio Suite
Jefferson National announced Wednesday that it has launched four new tactically managed model portfolios with Braver Capital Management. Models available include Braver Tactical Balanced, Braver Tactical Core Bond, Braver Tactical Opportunity and Braver Tactical Sector Rotation.
Braver's tactical models use quantitative algorithms applied to asset class price movement to identify trends in numerous asset classes and the broad market, while employing specific stop loss and position size limits for additional risk control. They are completely transparent, with no swaps, no leverage and no derivatives.
4) Allianz Life Launches New FIA: Allianz 222 Annuity
Allianz Life Insurance Co. of North America recently announced the launch of the Allianz 222SM annuity, a new fixed indexed annuity (FIA) available exclusively to field marketing organizations, broker-dealers and agents associated with the Allianz Preferred platform and currently available in 44 states.
The new Allianz 222 annuity provides traditional annuity benefits such as accumulation potential through indexed or fixed interest, principal protection and tax deferral, and has an accumulation value that can be taken as a lump sum after the 10-year surrender charge period, or for annuitization after five years, less any bonuses. In addition, it can help meet retirement income needs by offering a protected income value (PIV) specifically designed for lifetime income withdrawals that have the opportunity to increase. The PIV includes bonuses on premium in the first three contract years and potential interest bonuses. Lifetime income withdrawals can be taken from the PIV after holding the contract at least 10 years and if the income is elected between the ages of 60 and 100.
5) Credit Suisse Announces Launch of Gold Covered Call ETN
Credit Suisse announced Tuesday the launch of its new Gold Shares Covered Call ETN (GLDI). GLDI is the first exchange-traded product in the U.S. market to offer investors access to a covered call strategy on a gold investment and is designed to pay variable monthly coupons.
GLDI tracks the Credit Suisse NASDAQ Gold FLOWSTM (Formula-Linked OverWrite Strategy)103 Index. It seeks to implement a rolling covered call investment strategy by maintaining a notional long position in shares of the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) while notionally selling monthly out-of-the-money call options on that position. Holders of GLDI will be entitled to receive variable monthly payments based on the notional option premiums received from the sale of the covered call options each month.
6) WisdomTree Launches Global Corporate Bond Fund
WisdomTree announced Thursday the launch of the WisdomTree Global Corporate Bond Fund (GLCB), an actively managed ETF that will invest in corporate fixed income securities from around the world.
GLCB will seek to maintain at least 55% of its holdings in investment-grade assets, with the ability to also invest in U.S. and international high-yield, as well as emerging-market, corporate debt. It intends to maintain an intermediate-term duration of between 2 and 10 years. It has a net expense ratio of 0.45%, and intends to hedge non-U.S. currency exposure back to U.S. dollars.
7) Russell Introduces High Efficiency Defensive Indexes
Russell Indexes introduced on Tuesday the Russell High Efficiency Defensive Indexes, a new index series initially consisting of 22 separate Russell High Efficiency Defensive Indexes based on the Russell U.S. and Global Indexes. The new indexes combine various economic and market risk factors, creating a "stability score" to help investors identify high-quality, low-volatility stocks. The new indexes offer low targeted tracking error to the Russell benchmarks. The indexes use Westpeak Global Advisors' ActiveBeta portfolio construction methodology to help investors more efficiently capture targeted investment factors such as value, momentum and volatility. In this case the targeted factor is stability.
The Russell Defensive Index ranks constituents based on an assigned stability score and weights them according to market capitalization, creating a universe of higher-quality, lower-volatility stocks weighted in proportion to size. The High Efficiency Defensive Indexes, through Westpeak's ActiveBeta methodology, weight constituents in proportion to their stability score. The indexes are rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
8) Jemstep Launches Portfolio Manager
Jemstep announced Wednesday the launch of Jemstep Portfolio Manager, an investment guidance and portfolio management service for individual investors. Combining the personalized attention of a private wealth manager with proven strategies and analytics used by institutional money managers, Portfolio Manager tells investors exactly what to buy, sell and hold, to maintain the optimal portfolio for their retirement goals and financial situation. The service will be free until March 1.
According to a survey commissioned by Jemstep and conducted by Harris Interactive from Dec. 17-19, 74% of U.S. adults don't know how to create and manage a retirement portfolio. Jemstep's Portfolio Manager discovers an investor's financial situation and retirement goals; analyzes current investment accounts and generates a personalized investment strategy aligned with them; provides a target allocation; spells out a detailed action plan telling what to buy, sell and hold; and keeps the investor on track by watching for changes in the investor's profile and portfolio and in the market, as well as providing alerts when it's time to rebalance or change investments.

Wilson Communications was founded in the early 1900s and we've been known for helping to connect our small section of Kansas to the rest of the country and the world for more than a century. Yet, recent decisions made in Washington are threatening to take Kansas — and other states with rural communities like ours — back to the last century of connectivity and communications.
Rural telecoms are pushing forward on their effort to derail reforms to the Universal Service Fund by the Federal Communcations Commission, but their chances of success may be greater in the courts than in Congress. The FCC's changes are part of a broad plan to support the government's goal of universal broadband availability. They include capping the annual budget for underwriting universal service at $4.5 billion and making payments to telecoms based on a model that weighs the size and scope of the service provided by rural telecoms. This is measured by a complicated regression formula that critics say has a high rate of inaccuracy. Prior to the change, the FCC did not set limits on subsidies for servicing remote telephone customers. Under the new rules, there is a cap of $250 per line per month. The USF is funded by consumers, through fees that appear on telephone bills.
Wisconsin is on the receiving end of a lot of attention lately from President Obama and Governor Romney due to its status as a swing state. During appearances in Wisconsin, both candidates have discussed the need to strengthen the economy and create jobs. These are important goals, particularly in Wisconsin's many rural communities. Yet the federal government is proposing a change that would hamper economic development throughout rural Wisconsin.
U.S. Representative Jeff Landry (R-La.) has introduced legislation aimed at curtailing FCC efforts to cut back on payments to rural rate-of-return telcos through the Universal Service program. The official name of the bill is the "Restore Effective Statistics to the Calculation of USF Expenditures (RESCUE) Act of 2012."
As President Barack Obama visited our state, I'm sure he took time to see the great resources available through Iowa's rural landscape. Additionally, I hope he recognizes the conflicting policy being created in Washington that threatens a key economic growth engine - broadband deployment in rural America.
As President Barack Obama visited our state, I'm sure he took time to see the great resources available through Iowa's rural landscape. Additionally, I hope he recognizes the conflicting policy being created in Washington that threatens a key economic growth engine - broadband deployment in rural America. The president has acknowledged the need to strengthen our rural communities and encourage economic development through greater access to broadband. Yet at the same time decisions are being made by the Federal Communications Commission that threaten to undermine progress by leaving many small communities without adequate access to broadband. Here in Dysart, our company, Farmer's Cooperative Telephone, has delayed deployment of fiber optic network services because of the uncertainty created by these new rules.
Most of us never think twice before making a call, sending an email or browsing the web. These are easy conveniences to take for granted. But for rural Americans, the ability to engage in those tasks often involves many hidden challenges. Historically, because serving rural customers entailed higher costs, larger communications providers and manufacturers focused on urban centers, relegating rural markets to the bottom of their to-do lists.
When Evertek invested in a fiber network to provide broadband Internet to 520 rural subscribers, the Everly-based company was counting on a "three legged stool" of funding. That stool consists of payments from customers, a national surcharge known as the Universal Service Fund and InterCarrier Compensation from large carriers that utilize smaller, local networks.
High-speed Internet service has changed the way we live and work, particularly in small, rural communities. The deployment of high-speed Internet and other advanced telecommunications services has helped spur growth throughout North Dakota and Greater Minnesota.
What do border security efforts in Texas, health care in Kansas and economic development on an Indian reservation in New Mexico have in common? All three rely on high-speed Internet services provided by small, independent rural telecommunications companies. And the success of all three will depend on the Federal Communications Commission making the right decisions in Washington.
Most Americans never think twice before picking up the phone to make a call or firing up their computer to get on the Internet. It's an easy convenience to take for granted. But for rural Americans, the ability to engage in such seemingly simple tasks rests upon a more challenging foundation. That's because rural areas are much more sparsely populated than urban areas, making it more expensive to build and maintain the telecommunications infrastructure necessary to connect households and businesses to the wider world.
As you tap on your mobile phone, watch a video on your tablet or you telecommute to your place of work from home using Wi-Fi, it's all possible through a wireline network.
Broadband Internet access should start reaching more rural parts of the country after the Federal Communication Commission retooled a fund that has traditionally subsidized rural phone service, the agency's chairman says.
It may sound like someone has their signals crossed, but a panel of largely Tea Party-affiliated House Republicans grilled Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski about the tightening of subsides to rural telecommunications companies under the Universal Service Fund at a hearing of the Small Business Committee on Wednesday.
You may soon notice a new charge on your monthly phone bill. Many phone companies say they're being forced to hike rates because of a new FCC rule that revamps the Universal Service Fund, which accounts for up to 70 percent of their revenue.
A Federal Communications Commission policy change designed to provide broadband internet access to a few parts of the country that are not currently served could hurt the companies most capable of providing that service.
High-speed Internet across the nation is crucial to maintain America's competitiveness. Both inner-city and rural America need fast, consistent Internet service to compete on a global scale.
FCC chairman Julius Genachowski spent a lot of his time on the Hill Wednesday defending the agency's reform of the Universal Service Fund, specifically the decision to phase out support to areas with multiple subsidized carriers or where there is an unsubsidized competitor.
As the FCC transitions today's voice-centric Universal Service program into a broadband program, the focus of those efforts is about to shift to the contribution side: How should money be collected from the telecom industry to fund the program?

A few months ago, designer Laurie Wisbrun sent me a bundle of half-yard cuts of her adorable new line, Pooches & Pickups for Robert Kaufman fabrics. I immediately fell in love with the vibrant primary colors of the line and the versatile prints that are appropriate for little and big boys alike!
I was inspired to design and make an original quilt pattern, and today I'm making the pattern available for all of my wonderful readers! It's a quick and easy-to-assemble pattern, with nice big blocks to show off the line's large-scale prints.
The retro vibe of the vintage pick-up trucks and the big dogs riding in the back called to mind summer afternoons, drive-in movies, old school gas pumps, and the very best laid-back country music, all of which combined to inspire the name of my pattern: One Stoplight Town.
I selected several shades of Kona cotton solid fabrics to complement the prints, and incorporated them into the design.
I also have the perfect recipient for this quilt in mind. A childhood friend of mine and her husband had their first baby -- a boy -- a little over a year ago. I've long been wanting to make a quilt especially for baby Mason, but lacked both the time and the perfect selection of boy-friendly prints that could grow with him. I'm glad I waited, because Pooches & Pickups is the perfect match!
Interested in making your own version of this quilt? Download a PDF of the free pattern here: One Stoplight Town
If you make One Stoplight Town, I'd love to see it! Please send me a photo or a link to your blog or Flickr stream.
I'll randomly select a winner next Friday, 11/4. Good luck!

Flaxseed oil is derived from the hard, tiny seeds of the flax plant. It has been proposed as a less smelly alternative to fish oil. Like fish oil, flaxseed oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, a type of fat your body needs as much as it needs vitamins.
However, it's important to realize that the omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed oil aren't identical to what you get from fish oil. Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), while fish oil contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The effects and potential benefits may not be the same.
Whole flaxseeds contain another important group of chemicals known as lignans.Lignans are being studied for use in preventing cancer. However, flaxseed oil contains no lignans. 1
Flaxseed oil contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential to health. Although the exact daily requirement of these essential fatty acids is not known, deficiencies are believed to be fairly common. 2 Flaxseed oil may be an economical way to ensure that you get enough essential fatty acids in your diet.
The essential fatty acids in flax can be damaged by exposure to heat, light, and oxygen (essentially, they become rancid). For this reason, you shouldn't cook with flaxseed oil. A good product should be sold in an opaque container, and the manufacturing process should keep the temperature under 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Some manufacturers combine the product with vitamin E because it helps prevent rancidity.
Therapeutic Dosages
A typical dosage is 1 to 2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil daily. It can be taken in capsule form or made into salad dressing. Some people find the taste pleasant, although others would politely disagree.
For whole flaxseed, a typical dose is 1 tablespoon of the seed (not ground) with plenty of liquid 2 to 3 times daily.
Therapeutic Uses
The best use of flaxseed oil is as a general nutritional supplement to provide essential fatty acids. There is little evidence that it is effective for any specific therapeutic purpose.
Flaxseed oil has been proposed as a less smelly alternative to fish oil for the prevention of heart disease . However, there is as yet no consistent evidence that it works. One double-blind study of 56 people failed to find that flax oil improved cholesterol profile . 19 Other studies did find improvements in cholesterol and/or blood pressure , but these were small trials and suffered from serious problems in study design. 19-20
One study found that a diet high in ALA (from sources other than flaxseed oil) was associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. 6 However, there were so many other factors involved that it is hard to say what caused what. 7
Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system destroys moisture-producing glands, such as tear glands and salivary glands. It can occur by itself, or in conjunction with other autoimmune diseases, such as lupus . One small, double-blind study found preliminary evidence that use of flaxseed oil at a dose of 1-2 g daily can improve dry eye symptoms in Sjogren's syndrome. 21
One very preliminary study hints that flaxseed oil may enhance the effects of conventional treatments for bipolar disorder when combined with conventional medications. 9 But, another study did not find flaxseed oil to be beneficial for treating bipolar disorder in children. 23
It has been suggested that flaxseed oil may have anticancer effects due to its ALA and lignan content. However, the supporting evidence for this belief is incomplete and somewhat contradictory (some studies actually found weak evidence of increased cancer risk with higher ALA intake). 11-17 Although fish oil appears to be effective for reducing symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis , one study failed to find flaxseed oil helpful for this purpose. 8 One study failed to find flaxseed oil helpful for preventing premature birth . 18
One small randomized trial found flaxseed oil ineffective for reducing blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes . 22
Safety Issues
Flaxseed oil appears to be a safe nutritional supplement when used as recommended. However, due to the contradictory evidence regarding its effects on cancer (as described above), it should not be taken by people at high risk of cancer except on physician's advice.

Here are some tricks to convert from a "dotted" IP address to a LONG int, and backwards. This is very useful because accessing an IP addy in a database table is very much faster if it's stored as a BIGINT rather than in characters.
IP to BIGINT:
$ipArr = explode('.',$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$ip = $ipArr[0] * 0x1000000
+ $ipArr[1] * 0x10000
+ $ipArr[2] * 0x100
+ $ipArr[3]
IP as BIGINT read from db back to dotted form:
Keep in mind, PHP integer operators are INTEGER -- not long. Also, since there is no integer divide in PHP, we save a couple of S-L-O-W floor (<division>)'s by doing bitshifts. We must use floor(/) for $ipArr[0] because though $ipVal is stored as a long value, $ipVal >> 24 will operate on a truncated, integer value of $ipVal! $ipVint is, however, a nice integer, so
we can enjoy the bitshifts.
$ipVal = $row['client_IP'];
$ipArr = array(0 =>
floor( $ipVal / 0x1000000) );
$ipVint = $ipVal-($ipArr[0]*0x1000000); // for clarity
$ipArr[1] = ($ipVint & 0xFF0000) >> 16;
$ipArr[2] = ($ipVint & 0xFF00 ) >> 8;
$ipArr[3] = $ipVint & 0xFF;
$ipDotted = implode('.', $ipArr);

You have a unique medical history. It is vital to talk with your doctor about your personal risk factors and/or your experience with foot pain. By talking openly and regularly with your doctor, you can take an active role in your care.
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 your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get. Make sure you understand what you are hearing. Ask the doctor to explain further, if needed.
- Don't be afraid to ask your questions or ask where you can find more information about what you are talking about. You have a right to know.
- What sort of footwear do you recommend for me?
- In my case, what caused the pain I'm having?
- Can I do something about this?
- Given my anatomy and activities, what are my risks for foot problems? How can I best prevent trouble?
- Should I see a foot specialist, such as an orthopedic surgeon or a podiatrist?
- What treatment options are available for this condition?
- Will I ever need surgery?
- Should I see a different specialist for this problem?
- Should I talk to my diabetes doctor about this?
Is there an activity I should avoid because of my foot condition?
- Will I be able to return to it later on?
- Do I need a walking aid?
- How can I prevent further pain?
- Will this get worse and limit my activities? Is it only temporary?
- Do I need to be concerned about this condition returning?

The doctor will ask about your symptoms, and medical and family history. The head, neck, throat, and abdominal areas will be carefully examined. Your doctor may look for other possible causes of your symptoms. If cancer or other gastrointestinal conditions are suspected, a specialist may be recommended.
Suspicion of Esophageal Cancer
If you have symptoms, your doctor may conduct certain tests to identify abnormalities. These may include:
- Blood tests—Certain substances are released into the blood when a tumor develops. These tumor markers may be elevated in the presence of cancer.
- Barium swallow —Contrast material is swallowed and x-rayed. The barium makes it easier to see abnormalities.
- Imaging tests—To assess internal structures for the presence and location of tumors. Imaging tests may include:
- Upper GI endoscopy —A tube with a lighted tip and camera is inserted through the mouth and throat. The scope is threaded down the esophagus and into the stomach and first part of the small intestine to look for any abnormalities. Any abnormal tissue will be removed and examined under a microscope.
Diagnosis of Esoghageal Cancer
Diagnosis of esophageal cancer is confirmed with a biopsy. A biopsy is a tissue sample that is removed from the esophagus, often during an endoscopy. After removal, the sample is examined under a microscope. This is the only way to confirm a diagnosis.
The tissue may also be tested for other factors, such as genetic characteristics (human growth factor receptor or HER2). Certain genetics will provide guidance for prognosis and treatment.
Staging of Esophageal Cancer
If esophageal cancer is confirmed, results from completed tests and new tests will help determine the stage of cancer. Staging is used to identify characteristics of the tumor that will help determine the prognosis and treatment plan. Factors that play a role in staging include how far the original tumor has spread, whether lymph nodes are involved, if cancer has spread to other tissue, and microscopic cellular details.
Tests that may help determine esophageal cancer stage:
- Blood tests
- Microscopic evaluation of tissue samples—To look for genetic characteristics.
- Imaging tests—To help determine how deep the tumor has moved into the layers of the esophagus or nearby structures. They may also help to determine if there are any metastatic growths in other areas of the body. Imaging tests may include:
- Endoscopic ultrasound
- CT scan
- PET scan
- MRI scan
- Chest x-rays
- Endoscopy, bronchoscopy (to examine lungs), and thoracoscopy (to examine chest cavity)—To carefully look for and remove any suspicious tissue for closer examination under a microscope.
The esophagus is made up of 4 layers, the innermost mucosa, the submucosa, a thicker muscle layer, and a thin layer of connective tissue called the adventitia. The location and depth of the tumor is important in staging. Esophageal cancer is staged from 0-IV.
- Stage 0—High grade dysplasia—Abnormal cells are found only in the innermost 2 linings of the esophagus, the mucosa and submucosa.
- Stage IA—Grade 1 (less aggressive) cancer cells are found in the mucosa OR submucosa.
- Stage IB—Grade 2 and 3 cancer cells (more aggressive) are found in the mucosa or submucosa OR grade 1 cancer cells are found in the mucosa or submucosa AND have spread TO the muscle layer or adventitia. The tumor location may be unknown or in the lower esophagus.
- Stage IIA—Grade 1 cancer cells have spread TO the muscle layer or adventitia. The tumor is in the middle or upper esophagus OR Grade 2 and 3 cancer cells have spread TO the muscle layer or adventitia. The tumor location may be unknown or in the lower esophagus.
- Stage IIB—Cancer has spread TO the muscle layer or adventitia. The tumor is in the middle or upper esophagus OR cancer from the mucosa or submucosa has spread TO the muscle layer AND to 1-2 nearby lymph nodes.
- Stage IIIA—Cancer in the mucosa or submucosa MAY spread into the muscle layer AND to 3-6 nearby lymph nodes OR has spread TO the adventitia AND to 3-6 nearby lymph nodes OR has spread TO the diaphragm (separates the abdominal and chest cavities), pleura (tissue that lines the lungs), or the pericardium (the sac that surrounds the heart).
- Stage IIIB—Cancer has spread INTO the adventitia AND to 3-6 nearby lymph nodes.
- Stage IIIC—Cancer has spread INTO the diaphragm, pleura, or pericardium AND to 1-6 nearby lymph nodes OR nearby organs OR to 7 or more nearby lymph nodes.
- Stage IV—Cancer has spread to other parts of the body through the lymph and blood streams. The most common sites for metastatic esophageal cancer are lymph nodes in other parts of the body, the lungs, liver, kidney, and bones.

Intel developer blogger Wendy Boswell has brought the legally convoluted subject of application privacy to light this month. Reports suggest that U.S. Representative member Hank Johnson (of Georgia) has drafted a bill aimed at trying to give users more control over their application data.
The Application Privacy, Protection, and Security Act can be found in its discussion draft form at this stage and it could have big implications for developers.
The bottom line here (argues Intel's Boswell) is that software application developers building their next app would have to consider the need to surrender to users all the information that an app intends to use, for any purpose. Data collection would also require affirmation of consent.
NOTE: In closely related developments, the attorney general of California just issued a set of mobile app privacy guidelines as part of the California Online Privacy Protection Act.
There is plenty to read on this subject: A study has been carried out questioning over 1000 users by the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, which suggested that the overwhelming majority of Americans believe they should enjoy a generally high level of privacy when it comes to the data that they interact with on their mobile phones.
"This drafted legislation is based partly on ideas solicited on apprights.us; a project launched last summer in order to get an idea from the general public (as well as meetings with app developers, public interest groups, and industry leaders) on better ways to safeguard the rights of users when using apps," writes Boswell.
"This proposed bill will require apps to give consumers notice in advance regarding any data that they are about to collect, and how this data will be used, shared, or stored. The developer would have to obtain consent in advance for any of these practices. Violations of these safeguards would be handled by the Federal Trade Commission, and state attorney generals would be allowed to bring civil suits against the offending developer(s) as necessary."
Boswell's advice is based upon an assertion that this kind of activity is "the first wave" of what is coming down the pike. Developers will be affected by these bills as they are passed, she says. This means that we will all need to stay aware of what is changing in the world of app privacy so every programmer can incorporate these guidelines into their apps in the future.
