A lot of CNBC anchors do not seem to understand how regulation works. In fact, it seems like the network's anchors don't really get how competition works. If you've tuned into the business channel this summer, chances are you've heard its anchors pushing the ridiculous bank lobbyist mantra that new consumer protections will actually make life harder for consumers. It's simply not true. Wall Street reforms aimed at credit card billing practices and overdraft fees are already protecting the pocketbooks of ordinary citizens all over the country.
Bankers don't like consumer protections for a reason: they've been able to make a lot of money in recent years by gouging consumers and tricking them into paying absurd fees. So financiers have dispatched CEOs and lobbyists to CNBC to make the case that their predatory profits are actually good for consumers. Here's how the perverse argument goes: If you force banks to stop abusing some of their customers, banks have to make their money by charging higher prices to all of their customers. The argument flies in the face of basic facts about how markets work, but even if it was essentially true, the banker dystopia looks much better for consumers than the past decade's status quo.
For an example, take a look at Maria Bartiromo's obsequious July 22 interview with BB&T CEO Kelly King (who personally took home over $5 million last year, with the economy in the doldrums). You can also find Wells Fargo CFO Howard Atkins making a similar case on July 21, and megabank lobbyist Steve Bartlett pushing the agenda on July 20 (to CNBC's credit, the anchors push back a bit against Bartlett late in the interview). From Bartiromo's King interview:
MB: So many people have said the fee business is a profitable and a substantial one for so many banks, whether it's overdraft fees or any other fees. And if we have rules that they won't be able to charge that, they're going to find some other place to put those fees.
KK: Well that's right. You know Maria, we have to cover our costs . . . we simply have to find a way to recover our costs, which ultimately means that there will be increased charges to the consumer.
There's a glaring hole in this argument. Whatever their costs, banks still have to compete with each other on pricing. If new regulations force banks to stop charging deceptive, hidden fees, banks can't just automatically move those fees elsewhere and expect to score the same profits. They may be able to jack up their prices temporarily, but pretty soon they'll have to come down as banks try to win over new customers. This is what Credit Suisse analyst Moshe Orenbuch means when he says he expects profits to be "competed away."
Hidden fees are much more profitable than up-front fees, because the normal market rules of competition don't apply when customers don't know they're being charged. They'll rack up tremendous fees that they would never intentionally accumulate. When you place those fees up-front in the form of higher interest rates, suddenly people don't want to pay them anymore, and demand lower rates. This is why banks are complaining about the rules—they wouldn't care about new consumer protections if they truly had no impact on their profits (and by extension, bonuses).
This is basically what has been happening with credit card interest rates since the enactment of new credit card reforms in 2009. Interest rates have been barely effected by the law.
That doesn't mean that the rates aren't going up—the average credit care interest rate has moved from about 13 percent in June 2009 to about 14.5 percent this summer. If free and fair markets cost 11 percent more than unfair and deceptive markets, count me in for fairness. But even that modest increase is not a function of enhanced consumer protections—it's a function of record-high default rates on credit cards. Banks are taking huge losses from the recession as consumers fail to pay off their credit card debt. That really does drive prices higher. But it's a "cost" that has nothing to do with consumer protection.
The millionaires on CNBC are primarily worried about overdraft fees, since many of the most egregious credit card abuses were outlawed by Congress in April 2009. The banking industry raked in a monstrous $38.5 billion in overdrafts last year, far in excess of the industry's total combined profit of just $12 billion. Without overdrafts, many banks would have been taking losses, not profits, and a lot of big bonuses wouldn't have been paid.
Did banks really have $38.5 billion in checking account costs in 2009? Of course not. After all, with costs so high, how ever did banks get by with the paltry $23.7 billion in overdraft income they scored in 2008? What really matters to banks on checking is not cost, but potential profit. That's why a lot of banks will actually pay interest on checking account balances—the more money you keep in your checking account, the more money banks have to lend out profitably. For the middle class and the wealthy, new overdraft rules aren't going to affect checking accounts at all, since those accounts aren't costing banks anything—they're making them money.
This potential profit isn't quite as compelling for the checking accounts of low-income people, since those accounts by definition do not have much money in them for banks to lend out. But that doesn't mean that every overdraft trick deployed in 2009 was a necessary charge. Indeed, banks have been devising more and more tricks to rake in overdraft income over the past decade, even going so far as to backdate checking purchases without consumer consent in order to charge more overdraft fees. Abuses like that are not a necessary component of any checking business. Ending those outrages will simply mean less money for banks, it will not mean more up-front charges for consumers.
Banks do not need to charge new fees to "make up" for the lost revenue from tricks and traps. But that doesn't mean banks won't try to jack up your interest rate or sneak new fees into your checking account. Banks will do just about anything that makes them money if they think they can get away with it. BB&T, for instance used to charge its customers a $10 "service fee" for the courtesy of mailing out monthly statements. The bank didn't tell its customers it was doing this, it just included a one-line charge on each monthly statements, hoping that customers wouldn't catch the item and complain. BB&T didn't start charging this fee because it needed to help poor people or fend off some new regulation, it just saw the opportunity to score an easy buck, and went for it.
You may very well find some unpleasant new fee in a banking statement this year. But it will have nothing to do with new consumer protections, regardless of what CNBC anchors tell you.

Laney Brown, Sick Girl Who Asked to Talk to Taylor Swift, Dies
Laney Brown, the 8-year-old girl who spoke with Taylor Swift late last week, has died. Meeting Swift was one of her dying wishes, and the singer took time to Facetime with her on Friday (Dec. 20).
Brown passed on Christmas morning.
The Team Laney Facebook page announced the news early Wednesday:
My heart breaks right now. Our little angel on earth earned her pink glittery angel wings in heaven. She took her last breath at home in her bed at 3:10 surrounded by all her family and friends. I miss her so much already.
The West Reading, Pa. girl was battling Leukemia and not expected to live long when Swift phoned her. The next day, more than 10,000 carolers came to the hospital where she was being treated and sang outside her window. While unable to watch, Laney posted a photo indicating she heard them and approved.
On Thursday, Laney's father sent another message to her 135,000 Facebook followers, thanking them for the support. "And thou we are down only one child, this house feels so empty," he said in an emotional post. "There used to be a little girl normally already sitting on our couch watching tv when I wake up early in the morning. My life will never be the same since that little angel touched it."
Laney's condition deteriorated earlier this week, with doctors turning their focus to making sure she was comfortable as she took her final breaths. "I am in such disbelief that my baby is no long with me," a post from her mother begins. "I keep sitting here waiting for her to call out "mama" to me. I keep waiting for her to walk by me and smile."
The 8-year-old also had a brother and little sister who is named as her best friend. Delaney Ann Brown had just celebrated her eighth birthday. She's described as "a fashionista who loved to dance and loved pink, board games, card games, the beach, alligators and animal prints" in an obituary at the Kuhn Stitzel Funeral Home website. A public viewing will be held on Sunday (Dec. 29) at 2PM.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for contributions to the Four Diamonds Fund.

Not sure if I'm being clear here but the keys are distracting in a way and the sea does seem a bit drab. I haven't got an answer to that at this stage and will think on it but hopefully you get what I mean.

Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is a temporary condition in children in which the ball-shaped head of the thigh bone (femur), also known as the femoral head, loses its blood supply. Hence, the femoral head collapses. The body will absorb the dead bone cells and replace them with new bone cells, eventually reshaping the femoral head of the thigh bone. The femur is the large bone in the thigh, and the femoral head is the rounded ball at the end of the bone that fits into the hip socket. Legg-Calve-Perthes disease causes the hip joint to become painful and stiff for a short period of time.
Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is also known as avascular necrosis or Chandler disease in adults. Avascular necrosis is a disease resulting from the temporary or permanent loss of the blood supply to the bones. Without blood, the bone tissue dies and causes the bone to collapse. Avascular necrosis usually affects people between 30-50 years of age. This monograph pertains to Legg-Calve-Perthes disease in children.
Approximately one in 1,200 children younger than 15 years is affected, usually aged two to 12 years. Legg-Calve-Perthes disease typically affects one hip, but sometimes it develops in both hips. The disease affects both joints in 10-20% of children. When both hips are involved, they are usually affected one after the other and not at the same time. A family history is present in 6% of patients.
Legg-Calve-Perthes disease goes through four phases of changes that affect the head of the femur.
Phase 1
: Blood supply is absent to the femoral head and the hip joint becomes inflamed, stiff, and painful. Portions of the bone turn into dead tissue. The ball of the thigh bone becomes less round in appearance on x-rays. This phase can last from several months up to one year. The individual can still walk.
Phase 2
: The body cleans up the dead bone cells using the immune system and replaces them with new, healthier bone cells. The femoral head begins to remodel into a round shape again. The joint is still irritated and painful. This phase can last from one to three years.
Phase 3
: The femoral head continues to model itself back into a round shape with new bone. This phase lasts for one to three years.
Phase 4
: Permanent bone cells replace the new bone cells. This last phase can last a few years to complete the healing process.
The long-term outlook for Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is often good, especially for children who develop the condition very young. The younger the child, the more time there is to reshape the affected hip bone.
Signs and symptoms
The child typically complains of pain in the hip that is made worse by activity. Sometimes, they will also experience pain in their thigh or knee area. The child usually walks with a limp and finds that rest will alleviate the pain.
Limping is often the earliest sign of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Pain or stiffness in the hip, groin or knee is possible as well. For some children, the affected leg becomes shorter due to bone collapse.
The symptoms of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease may resemble other conditions or medical problems of the hip, such as osteoarthritis, and may include pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.
Diagnosis of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is often based on a child's signs and symptoms, a physical exam, and imaging studies. The imaging studies that a doctor may recommend include X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or bone scans to detect changes in the child's bones. Sometimes Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is detected by accident during an X-ray done for other reasons.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for Legg-Calve-Perthes disease may include:
: X-ray is a diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film. X-rays are often the first test performed if an individual has symptoms of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. If the individual has this condition, the X-ray images will often change in the femoral head.
Bone scan
: A bone scan locates problems (such as a fracture or osteoporosis) in the spine. A chemical called a radioactive tracer is injected into the child and after several hours, a gamma camera picture will reveal bone undergoing rapid changes where large amounts of tracer accumulate.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests use powerful magnets to produce images on a computer screen and film. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan provides clear images of musculoskeletal conditions. An MRI is conducted in a small, confined area, and some individuals may find this uncomfortable. Some individuals may have to be sedated using a mild sedative such as alprazolam (Xanax®) or lorazepam (Ativan®). If the individual is sedated, transportation should be organized using a family member or friend.
: An arthrogram is an X-ray exam of a joint after the injection of a dye-like contrast material (non-radioactive) and/or air to outline the soft tissue and joint structures on the pictures. Arthrography is considered extremely safe since reactions to the contrast media are rare.
Blood tests
: Blood tests may also be performed in order to determine blood levels of vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, vitamin D, and boron.
Legg-Calve-Perthes disease may cause a permanently deformed hip joint, especially if the condition develops after ages six to eight. Severe cases of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease may increase the risk of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis as an adult.
If the child is diagnosed with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, he or she may be referred to a special type of doctor called a pediatric orthopedic specialist, for treatment.
The more severe the case, the greater the likelihood that the child may experience limited hip motion, differences in leg lengths, and further hip problems in adulthood.
Specific treatment for Legg-Calve-Perthes disease will be determined by the child's doctor based on: the child's age, overall health, and medical history; the extent of the condition; the child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies; expectations for the course of the condition; and the individual's opinion or preference.
The goals of treatment are: to decrease symptoms, to preserve the roundness of the femoral head
and to prevent deformity while the condition runs its course. Treatment options are dependent upon the amount of hip pain, stiffness, and X-ray changes over time, as well as how much of the femoral head has collapsed.
The two most critical factors that determine the outcome are the child's age and how much of the femoral head is affected by this condition. Deterioration of the femoral head can occur at different rates and through different methods.
Anti-inflammatory medications
: Over-the-counter medications (OTC), such as ibuprofen (Advil®), can help relieve pain and reduce joint inflammation. These medications are often recommended for months at a time. The dosage may be decreased as the hip begins to heal. Side effect may include mild gastrointestinal upset. These medications should be taken with food.
Physical therapy
: Range of motion exercises are exercises that can be done with any part of the body, consisting of a joint pivoting it in a "full range of motion." Rage of motion exercises can help maintain joint mobility. These exercises can be done at home or with the help of a physical therapist.
: Crutches can ease pain by keeping the child's weight off his or her hip.
Casts, braces, or traction
: Temporarily immobilizing the bone can help promote healing. This may be done with leg or hip casts, leg braces, or traction (applying a pulling force to the bone).
: If a groin muscle has shortened due to excessive limping, it may be surgically released from the bone. After surgery, the affected leg is put in a cast for six to eight weeks to allow the muscle to grow to a more normal length. Sometimes the hip ball must be replaced within the socket. In other cases, the hip socket is repositioned.
Legg-Calve-Perthes disease cannot be prevented. But with appropriate treatment, most children can return to their normal activities within 18 months to two years.
Children with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease may need extra care with personal issues, such as dressing themselves and going to the restroom.
Integrative therapies
Strong scientific evidence
: Calcium is the nutrient consistently found to be the most important for attaining peak bone mass and preventing osteoporosis. Adequate vitamin D intake is required for optimal calcium absorption. Adequate calcium and vitamin D are deemed essential for the prevention of osteoporosis in general, including postmenopausal osteoporosis. Multiple studies of calcium supplementation in the elderly and postmenopausal women have found that high calcium intakes can help reduce the loss of bone density. Studies indicated that bone loss prevention could be achieved in many areas, including ankles, hips, and spine. Although calcium and vitamin D alone are not recommended as the sole treatment of osteoporosis, they are necessary additions to pharmaceutical treatments. Treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis should only be done under supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to calcium or lactose. High doses taken by mouth may cause kidney stones. Avoid with high levels of calcium in the blood, high levels of calcium in urine, hyperparathyroidism (overgrowth of the parathyroid glands), bone tumors, digitalis toxicity, ventricular fibrillation (rapid, irregular twitching of heart muscle), kidney stones, kidney disease, or sarcoidosis (inflammatory disease). Calcium supplements made from dolomite, oyster shells, or bone meal may contain unacceptable levels of lead. Use cautiously with achlorhydria or irregular heartbeat. Talk to a healthcare provider to determine appropriate dosing during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Vitamin D
: Adults with severe vitamin D deficiency lose bone mineral content ("hypomineralization") and experience bone pain, muscle weakness, and osteomalacia (soft bones). Treatment for osteomalacia depends on the underlying cause of the disease and often includes pain control and orthopedic surgical intervention, as well as vitamin D and phosphate binding agents.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to vitamin D or any of its components. Vitamin D is generally well-tolerated in recommended doses; doses higher than recommended may cause toxic effects. Use cautiously with hyperparathyroidism (overactive thyroid), kidney disease, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and histoplasmosis. Vitamin D is safe in pregnant and breastfeeding women when taken in recommended doses.
Good scientific evidence
Vitamin D
: Without sufficient vitamin D, inadequate calcium is absorbed and the resulting elevated parathyroid (PTH) secretion causes increased bone resorption. This may weaken bones and increase the risk of fracture. Vitamin D supplementation has been shown to slow osteoporosis and reduce fracture, particularly when taken with calcium.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to vitamin D or any of its components. Vitamin D is generally well-tolerated in recommended doses; doses higher than recommended may cause toxic effects. Use cautiously with hyperparathyroidism (overactive thyroid), kidney disease, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and histoplasmosis. Vitamin D is safe in pregnant and breastfeeding women when taken in recommended doses.
Unclear or conflicting scientific evidence
Black tea
: Preliminary research suggests that chronic use of black tea may improve bone mineral density (BMD) in older women. Better research is needed to more clearly determine the effects of black tea for osteoporosis prevention.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to caffeine or tannins. Skin rash and hives have been reported with caffeine ingestion. Use caution with diabetes. Use caution if pregnant. Heavy caffeine intake during pregnancy may increase the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Very high doses of caffeine have been linked with birth defects. Caffeine is transferred into breast milk. Caffeine ingestion by infants can lead to sleep disturbances and insomnia. Infants nursing from mothers consuming greater than 500 milligrams of caffeine daily have been reported to experience tremors and heart rhythm abnormalities. Tea consumption by infants has been linked to anemia, decreased iron metabolism and irritability.
: Animal and preliminary human studies report that boron may play a role in mineral metabolism, with effects on calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. However, research of bone mineral density in women taking boron supplements does not clearly demonstrate benefits in osteoporosis. Additional study is needed before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Avoid if allergic or sensitive to boron, boric acid, borax, citrate, aspartate or glycinate. Avoid with history of diabetes, seizure disorder, kidney disease, liver disease, depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, skin rash, anemia, asthma, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Avoid with hormone-sensitive conditions like breast cancer or prostate cancer. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Calcium supplementation above the normal daily dietary intake has not been shown to reduce stress fractures. Further studies are needed to better determine the role of calcium in bone stress injury prevention.
Rickets and osteomalacia (bone softening) are commonly thought of as diseases due to vitamin D deficiency; however, calcium deficiency may also be another cause in sunny areas of the world where vitamin D deficiency would not be expected. Calcium gluconate is used as an adjuvant in the treatment of rickets and osteomalacia, as well as a single therapeutic agent in non-vitamin D deficient rickets. Research continues into to the importance of calcium alone in the treatment and prevention of this condition. Treatment of rickets and osteomalacia should only be done under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to calcium or lactose. High doses taken by mouth may cause kidney stones. Avoid with high levels of calcium in the blood, high levels of calcium in urine, hyperparathyroidism (overgrowth of the parathyroid glands), bone tumors, digitalis toxicity, ventricular fibrillation (rapid, irregular twitching of heart muscle), kidney stones, kidney disease, or sarcoidosis (inflammatory disease). Calcium supplements made from dolomite, oyster shells, or bone meal may contain unacceptable levels of lead. Use cautiously with achlorhydria or irregular heartbeat. Talk to a healthcare provider to determine appropriate dosing during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
: Supplementation with copper may be helpful in the treatment and/or prevention of osteoporosis, although early human evidence is conflicting. Further research is needed before clear conclusions can be drawn.
Avoid if allergic to copper. Avoid copper supplements during the early phase of recovery from diarrhea. Avoid with hypercupremia. Avoid with genetic disorders affecting copper metabolism (e.g. Wilson's disease, Indian childhood cirrhosis, or idiopathic copper toxicosis). Avoid with HIV/AIDS. Use cautiously with water containing copper concentrations greater than 6 milligrams/liter. Use cautiously with anemia, arthralgias, or myalgias. Use cautiously if taking birth control pills. Use cautiously if at risk for selenium deficiency. Doses that do not exceed the recommended dietary allowance appear to be safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
: Creatine is an amino acid that is found in the muscles. Early studies examining the effect of creatine in aging suggest that creatine may increase bone density when combined with resistance training. Further studies in which creatine alone is compared with placebo are needed.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to creatine. Early research suggests that creatine may reduce muscle cramps that are often associated with hemodialysis. However, further studies are needed to confirm this claim. Avoid if taking diuretics (e.g. hydrochlorothiazide or furosemide). Use cautiously with asthma, diabetes, gout, kidney disease, liver disease, muscle problems, stroke, or with a history of these conditions. Avoid dehydration. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone made in the human body and secreted by the adrenal gland. The ability of DHEA to increase bone density is under investigation. Effects are not clear at this time.
Avoid if allergic to DHEA. Avoid with a history of seizures. Use with caution in adrenal or thyroid disorders or with anticoagulants, or drugs, herbs or supplements for diabetes, heart disease, seizure, or stroke. Stop use two weeks before surgery/dental/diagnostic procedures with bleeding risk, and do not use immediately after these procedures. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Evening primrose oil
: Primrose oil has been suggested as a possible treatment for osteoporosis. Well-designed human trials are needed before primrose oil can be recommended for osteoporosis therapy.
Avoid if allergic to plants in the Onagraceae family (willow's herb, enchanter's nightshade) or gamma-linolenic acid. Avoid with seizure disorders. Use cautiously with mental illness drugs. Stop use two weeks before surgery with anesthesia. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Gamma linolenic acid (GLA)
: Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) is a dietary omega-6 fatty acid found in many plant oil extracts. Some clinical evidence suggests that GLA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) enhance the effects of calcium supplementation for osteoporosis. More clinical studies are required to better determine effectiveness.
Use cautiously with drugs that increase the risk of bleeding like anticoagulants and anti-platelet drugs. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Silicon may be beneficial for bone strengthening. Because horsetail (
Equisetum arvense
) contains silicon, it has been suggested as a possible natural treatment for osteoporosis. Preliminary human study reports benefits, but more detailed research is needed before a firm recommendation can be made. People with osteoporosis should speak with a qualified healthcare provider about possible treatment with more proven therapies.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to horsetail or nicotine. Avoid with a history of chronic alcohol abuse, malnutrition, and kidney disorders. Use cautiously with abnormal heart rhythms, diabetes, gout, neurological disorders, and osteoporosis. Avoid in children. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Phosphates, phosphorus
: Early research shows that high amounts of phosphorus may have negative effects on bone density. This is because phosphorus decreases bone formation and increases bone resorption. Additional study is needed in this area.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to any ingredients in phosphorus/phosphate preparations. Use phosphorus/phosphate salts cautiously with kidney or liver disease, heart failure, unstable angina (chest pain), recent heart surgery, hyperphosphatemia (high phosphate blood level), hypocalcemia (low calcium blood level), hypokalemia (low potassium blood level), hypernatremia (high sodium blood level), Addison's disease, intestinal obstruction or ileus, bowel perforation, severe chronic constipation, acute colitis, toxic megacolon, hypomotility syndrome, hypothyroidism, scleroderma, or gastric retention. Avoid sodium phosphate enemas with congenital or abnormalities of the intestine. Too much phosphorus may cause serious or life-threatening toxicity.
Physical therapy
: Supervised or home-based physical therapy has been used in combination with resistance and endurance training in physically frail elderly women taking hormone replacement therapy to improve bone density. Although early study is promising, more studies are needed in this area.
Not all physical therapy programs are suited for everyone, and patients should discuss their medical history with a qualified healthcare professional before beginning any treatments. Physical therapy may aggravate pre-existing conditions. Persistent pain and fractures of unknown origin have been reported. Physical therapy may increase the duration of pain or cause limitation of motion. Pain and anxiety may occur during the rehabilitation of patients with burns. Both morning stiffness and bone erosion have been reported in the literature although causality is unclear. Erectile dysfunction has also been reported. Physical therapy has been used in pregnancy and although reports of major adverse effects are lacking in the available literature, caution is advised nonetheless. All therapies during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be discussed with a licensed obstetrician/gynecologist before initiation.
Red clover
: Red clover (
Trifolium pratense
) is a legume, which like soy, contains "phytoestrogens" (plant-based chemicals that are similar to estrogen, and may act in the body like estrogen or may actually block the effects of estrogen). It is not clear if red clover isoflavones have beneficial effects on bone density. Most studies of isoflavones in this area have looked at soy, which contains different amounts of isoflavones, as well as other non-isoflavone ingredients. More research is needed to better understand the effects of red clover on osteoporosis.
Avoid if allergic to red clover or other isoflavones. Use caution with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or birth control pills. Use caution with history of a bleeding disorder, breast cancer, or endometrial cancer. Use caution with drugs that thin the blood. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: It has been theorized that phytoestrogens in soy (such as isoflavones) may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. However, more research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Avoid if allergic to soy. Breathing problems and rash may occur in sensitive people. Soy, as a part of the regular diet, is traditionally considered to be safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but there is limited scientific data. The effects of high doses of soy or soy isoflavones in humans are not clear, and therefore are not recommended. People who experience intestinal irritation (colitis) from cow's milk may experience intestinal damage or diarrhea from soy. It is not known if soy or soy isoflavones share the same side effects as estrogens, like increased risk of blood clots. The use of soy is often discouraged in patients with hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast, ovarian, or uterine cancer. Other hormone-sensitive conditions such as endometriosis may also be worsened. Patients taking blood-thinning drugs like warfarin should check with a doctor and pharmacist before taking soy supplementation.
Tai chi
: Tai chi is a system of movements and positions believed to have developed in 12th Century China. Tai chi techniques aim to address the body and mind as an interconnected system and are traditionally believed to have mental and physical health benefits to improve posture, balance, flexibility, and strength. Preliminary research suggests that tai chi may be beneficial in delaying early bone loss in postmenopausal women and preventing osteoporosis. Additional evidence and long-term follow-up is needed to confirm these results.
Avoid with severe osteoporosis or joint problems, acute back pain, sprains, or fractures. Avoid during active infections, right after a meal, or when very tired. Some believe that visualization of energy flow below the waist during menstruation may increase menstrual bleeding. Straining downwards or holding low postures should be avoided during pregnancy, and by people with inguinal hernias. Some tai chi practitioners believe that practicing for too long or using too much intention may direct the flow of chi (
) inappropriately, possibly resulting in physical or emotional illness. Tai chi should not be used as a substitute for more proven therapies for potentially serious conditions. Advancing too quickly while studying tai chi may increase the risk of injury.
Vitamin K
: Vitamin K appears to prevent bone resorption, and adequate dietary intake is likely necessary to prevent excess bone loss and for osteoporosis prevention. Elderly or institutionalized patients may be at particular risk and adequate intake of vitamin K-rich foods should be maintained. Unless patients have demonstrated vitamin K deficiency, there is no evidence that additional vitamin K supplementation is helpful.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to vitamin K. Injection into the muscle or vein should only be done by a healthcare professional; many serious side effects have occurred after injection. Menadiol (type of vitamin K that is not available in the United States) should be avoided with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Conditions that interfere with absorption of ingested vitamin K may lead to deficiency, including short gut, cystic fibrosis, malabsorption (various causes), pancreas or gall bladder disease, persistent diarrhea, sprue, or ulcerative colitis. Avoid if pregnant. Use cautiously if breastfeeding.
: Healthcare professionals recommend sun exposure of 15 minutes a day to the hands and face to help the body make vitamin D. Vitamin D helps calcium be absorbed and used by the body. Avoid overexposure to the sun. Use sunscreen on children when exposed to intense sunlight.
Healthy diet
: Being underweight is a risk factor for bone loss. Eating a healthy diet and staying within a healthy weight is important.
A high protein diet increases calcium excretion and may increase the calcium needs for the body. Fiber, oxalates (in rhubarb, spinach, beets, celery, greens, berries, nuts, tea, cocoa), and high zinc foods (such as oysters and red meats) decrease absorption, requiring more calcium as a dietary supplement. Healthcare professionals recommend following the
Dietary Guidelines for Americans
published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2005.
Eliminating fall hazards
: If a child has bone loss, it is important not only to help prevent further bone loss, but also to prevent a fracture. Eliminating hazards in the house that can increase the risk of falling is important. Wearing sturdy shoes is important. Caretakers should not hesitate to take a child with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease to the doctor is the child is having hip or leg pain after a fall.

Causes and risk factors
The underlying cause of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is not clear. It some cases, it may be due to injury or abnormal blood clotting, which can lead to a lack of blood flow to the bone.
Certain risk factors have been identified in children, including sex, socioeconomic group, and the presence of an inguinal hernia and genitourinary tract complications. An inguinal hernia is an intestinal bulge through a weak spot in the inguinal canal, which is a triangle-shaped opening between layers of abdominal muscle near the groin. More specifically, boys are affected three to five times more often than girls. The incidence increases in low socioeconomic groups and in children with a low birth weight.
The diagnosis of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease must be made as early as possible. Caretakers can watch for signs of decreased mobility, pain, or other complaints in the hip area. Individuals who appear to have the condition after the age of eight years have a poor outcome. Girls have an outcome worse than that of boys, and girls usually have a more severe form of the disease
in part due to hormonal changes as they age.
: Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is most common in Caucasians; it rarely occurs in African Americans.
: The male-to-female ratio is 3-5:1.
: Individuals with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease are typically children aged two to 12 years. The mean individual age at presentation is seven years.
The disease may be more likely in physically active children who are small for their age and those who are exposed to secondhand smoke. Smoking causes negative effects on the cardiovascular system and may lead to a decrease in blood supply to the bone.

The frame viewer is a feature in Chrome's about:tracing for studying difficult rendering performance problems.
Getting started
Frame viewer is best used in Chrome Canary, but requires that you launch with special flags. On OSX, the appropriate incantation is:
When you have such a build:
Reporting Rendering Performance Bugs
The best performance bug reports come with two traces: one taken with frame viewer on, and one taken with frame viewer off. We use both because frame viewer, while fast, is still intrusive to total performance. To do this:
Frame Viewer on Android
Since Chrome for Android does not implement the about:tracing UI, there is a command line script in the Chrome repository that provides the same functionality. For example, this command captures a 5 second trace with frame viewer data from the stable version of Chrome on an Android device:
build/android/adb_profile_chrome --browser=stable --trace-frame-viewer -t 5
The script downloads the resulting trace file to the current directory. You can view it by opening Chrome on your desktop, going to about:tracing and clicking on "Load". The chrome you load it into must be a similar version of chrome (within ~2 major versions) of your Android build for it to load properly.
Some notes
More info
For details on how it works, see the design doc. For more information, you can join/read the trace-viewer mailing list, or review the code, which is located inside https://code.google.com/p/trace-viewer/.

text: Hi, I've been evaluating ISPConfig in the past weeks and I must say that so far I'm really impressed. It's a really good alternative to commercial panels! However (and unfortunately), I have a problem with the mirroring feature. It seems more like a limitation than a bug but here the situation: I'm running the following multi-server setup: - web1: httpd + ftpd + sql + dns - mail1: dovecot + postfix + amavisd + dns - backup1: sql + dns I want to use backup1 to mirror my databases and my DNS records, so I selected the "mirror of" web1 in the control panel and it works just fine. Now, I would like to use the DNS server on mail1 as another mirror (so I can offer triple DNS redundancy to my customers). As soon as I set mail1 to be a mirror of web1, my mail server doesn't work anymore! I verified under System -> Server Services to make sure everything is set correctly... it is. I understand that mail1 is trying to mirror the Mail feature of web1 (which doesn't exist)... but should it work anyway? Or is it a limitation? Maybe I'm missing something! Thank you - Agonyzt

Emory Advantage
Emory Advantage is Emory University's financial aid initiative to help students from families with annual total incomes of $100,000 or less who demonstrate a need for financial aid. The program reduces the amount of money borrowed to pay for an undergraduate Emory degree. The goal is to make an Emory education attainable for any qualified student, regardless of income.
- The Loan Replacement Grant (LRG) replaces loans for dependent undergraduate students whose families' annual total incomes are $50,000 or less. Grants replace the Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan award typically provided in the aid package. The eligible grant amount represents the student's loan self-help portion of the aid award. Funds may be used to cover educational expenses including tuition, room, and board.
- The Loan Cap Program (LCP) caps cumulative Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan debt at $15,000 for domestic, dependent undergraduate students whose families' total annual incomes are between $50,000 and $100,000. With the Loan Cap Program, students receive a standard financial aid award (which includes loans) until $15,000 in Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan debt is accrued. The loan threshold includes debt obtained for Emory enrollment only. After the loan cap is reached, grants will be provided to replace Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan eligibility.
Both programs are available to eligible undergraduate dependent students at Emory University studying in Emory College, Oxford College, Goizueta Business School, and Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. These programs are available to students earning their first undergraduate degree; students earning a second undergraduate degree are not eligible to receive aid through these programs. Summer term is considered a non-standard academic term and is not included in the Emory Advantage. Students are expected to make satisfactory academic progress in order to receive aid.
There is no separate application for the Emory Advantage Program. All students who apply for institutional need-based financial aid will be considered for this program. Continuing Emory students must submit an application for financial aid each year to assess current eligibility.
A family's entire financial portfolio, including income, assets, and other earnings will be considered using institutional methodology. The program is capped at a $100,000 annual income with a goal of providing assistance to as many families as possible in a fair and equitable manner while meeting demonstrated need.
Full-time attendance is normally required to receive institutional grant funding. Exceptions to this policy may be made if a student is attending a final term, and full-time attendance is not required to meet graduation requirements.
If you meet the criteria for the Emory Advantage program, your financial aid award will include a reasonable amount of Federal Work-Study. A work component is considered part of the student's self-help expectation.

Pakeye posted a great article from Dawn about Political Islam and it's history. I'd reccomend everyone have a read.
One of the things that has really struck me from this peice is how recent Islamic Political movements have tried to shoehorn their perspectives into Western social and political definitions, or at the very least have been interpreted in accordance to these definitions. I think we've exhausted this approach. If we Muslims want an Islamic system of governance, we must define it by our needs and desires and the principles we have defined in our Islamic faith. We can't measure it against left or right wing politics, against socialist or conservative values, values which are defined from a different set of core principles. It sounds simplistic and it is, we have to simply look at what our source material for values and guidance is, what our needs from a system of governance are, and then build from there.

Denver (AP) Colorado Right to Life has been kicked out of the National Right to Life Coalition after publicly criticizing Focus on the Family Founder James Dobson.
The Colorado group and three others accused Dobson of misrepresenting a Supreme Court decision that upheld a ban on late-term abortions, referred to as partial-birth abortion by opponents.
Dobson has praised the ruling as a victory for abortion foes.
But Colorado Right to Life believes the decision will only encourage doctors to find other methods. Last month, the group joined in running full-page ads in at least two newspapers criticizing Dobson.
The National Right to Life said today that it disagreed with the ad. It said its rules require state affiliates to be in line the national group's objectives.
National Right to Life has chosen Colorado Citizens for Life/Protecting Life Now as its new state affiliate.
Colorado Right to Life says it's talking to other groups to associate with.

Cardinals Take Two of Three From Brewers
David Freese had an RBI in a four-run fourth inning to go with big plays at third base, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat former teammate Kyle Lohse for the third time this season with a 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.
John Gast (2-0) won his second straight start in place of the injured Jake Westbrook and fellow rookie Seth Maness escaped a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the seventh to help the Cardinals win for the 14th time in 17 games. They took two of three from Milwaukee and lead the season series 8-2.
Lohse (1-5) has lost all three of his starts against St. Louis after going 16-3 for the Cardinals last season and then leaving in free agency when they opted to go with younger players.

Steinberg Lawfirm is an excellent firm to be represented by. Mr. David Perlman was patient and thorough with me throughout the entire case. I recommend them strongly.
I was introduced to the Law firm by my daughter and everything she said about them is priceless. They go the extra mile to ensure that they represent you to the fullest. The staff is extraordinary and their care and concern is truly appreciated. Thank you!!!
Like most people, I never expected that I would need legal representation. However, after a horrible experience with a pool install, my husband and I decided we had to seek legal counsel. After talking with Elliotte about our experience, we knew he was going to be the help we needed. Over the next few weeks and months, Elliotte never lost focus and provided us with excellent representation, guidance, and advice. He exemplifies the perfect combination of care, trust, professionalism, and toughness. The end result....he achieved the results we wanted while making the journey as smooth as possible.
Thomas White and Susan Rienzo were very helpful and treated both myself and my wife with respect. They answered all of our questions and helped us think about other things that we did not think of. Very thorough and professional without being obnoxious. Glad to have worked with them and would do so again without hesitation in the future.
#Mr. Benjamin Akery (Attorney), Ms. Amanda Watkins (Legal Assistant), and Steinburg Law Firm's professional services came in handy in my time of need. I appreciate the time they spent answering my questions, sending me emails and making phone calls, arrangements, and giving me counsel and reminders when needed to help me during the time of my case. If I ever need a law firm or meet someone that need the service, they will be the ones that I will recommend. I thank all of them at the firm for being so professional and helpful. My experience was a successful one.

Members of the Taunton Lodge of Elks held an open house going-away party Saturday night in honor of the building that has been their home for the past 87 years.
Members of the Taunton Lodge of Elks held an open house going-away party Saturday night in honor of the building that has been their home for the past 87 years.
Representatives of Taunton Lodge of Elks 150 acknowledged last May they are selling the historic house at 119 High St. to make room for a new Walgreens at the corner of High and Winthrop streets.
The company buying the Elks building, Norwood-based Arista Development LLC, is also purchasing an adjacent 12-unit apartment house owned by a trust managed by Taunton attorney Thomas Percy.
John Treacy, Taunton Elks' Exalted Ruler, said the closing date for the sale of the 501 (c)(8) group's building is Jan. 14. And although his organization has yet to locate what it hopes will be its next and permanent home, it has found temporary lodging.
Treacy said the city's VFW David F. Adams Post 611 has agreed to let the Elks use its space at 82 Ingell St., where the VFW owns 48 percent and Jim Dorsey & Son Inc. owns 52 percent of the building.
"They've been more than gracious," Treacy said.
He also credits VFW bar manager Natalie Riley for helping the Elks with their transition.
He says VFW commander Roger Guillemette will expand the bar's hours of operation from five to six days to accommodate Elks members. The Elks, he said, will also be able to rent out the VFW hall for private functions and parties.
Treacy called the arrangement a "trade off" that will benefit both parties. The Elks, he said, will have a place to use and the VFW will collect revenue from food and beverage sales.
Treacy says the Elks have actively been looking for an "ideal" replacement for the old High Street homestead, which was built in 1893.
He said they intend to buy a piece of property on which to build a new facility. The land, he said, would be at least two acres, and the location would be close to either routes 44 or 138.
Treacy declined to reveal the selling price until the transaction has been consummated.
Treacy sees the sale of the building and land as an opportunity for the Elks and its members.
He says the 13,000-square-foot house, with its four floors, including a basement level bar, is simply too large and too expensive to heat.
"It's functionally obsolete and far too costly to maintain," Treacy said.
Walgreens lost its downtown presence in 2008, when the state by means of eminent domain took land at the corner of Broadway and Pleasant Street to build what is now the Taunton Trial Court. Walgreens countered by opening a tiny pharmacy-only store at 5 Tremont St.
By 2010, Walgreens had opened a full-sized store with drive-thru at 226 Broadway, which was also built by Arista Development.
The Elks paid $18,000 for the High Street house, according to a story that ran in a New Bedford newspaper in 1926, a copy of which Treacy has in his office.

One of the simplest ways to tunnel your traffic securely.../
So the folks over at LinuxJournal.com wrote up a great tutorial for tunneling through SSH. What's so great about that? Well it's an easy way to do simple stuff securely on your home or office network. You only need to open up port 22 for SSH and point it to an SSH Server. Then you can point to a local port and use SSH to get it to your destination server securely.
Wait...Can't someone just login to my machine that way? If you take percausions like using only SSH Keys and not passwords and use a gawk script like this one over at everythingbash.com. This script will create and send you a cool list of everyone who has and has tried logging in.
WARNING!!!! I have had several customers and friends notice that their SSH Servers just get pounded with people trying to connect using default or bogus accounts. So be sure to disable, remove or set the shell to /bin/false any account you aren't using.

Charlton's player of the year Diego Poyet couldn't hide his delight after collecting the award on Sunday evening at The Valley.
The young midfielder's emergence has been a bright point of what has been a difficult season for the Addicks and the 19-year-old was full of praise for the entire club.
Poyet said: "Everyone has been brilliant, from the players to the staff.
"The big thing is how easy they've made it for me to be involved with the team, right from the very start they've been a massive boost."
"Even when I wasn't involved and I was just travelling with the squad, they all welcomed me with open arms and have just been fantastic."
Poyet also took time to pay tribute to the fans for their backing.
He explained: "Since I've come in the fans have been simply unbelievable, both on and off the pitch.
"I make sure I read all their messages on social media. I really appreciate everything they do and the support they give both myself and the team.
"I take it all on board and knowing that they're fully behind me pushes me on to succeed just that little bit more.
"We all know how important it was for the club to stay up, that was the be all and end all for the season.
"Now we've done that it's absolutely brilliant, and there's no doubt the fans pushed us over that line."
Poyet made his senior debut away to Oxford in the FA Cup back in January and has been a regular ever since.
He added: "I appreciate how highly everyone rates me.
"All I can say is thank you to everyone.
"You've all helped me and the 20 odd games I've played in have been amazing."
Meanwhile, Addicks captain Johnnie Jackson hailed the Charlton spirit at the awards as the reason for his side's Championship survival.
It has been a tough year for everyone in SE7 with a takeover, managerial change and battle against relegation to endure which was only ended in the penultimate game by beating Watford 3-1 at The Valley last Tuesday.
But despite the struggles Jackson, who has been with the club for four seasons, was full of praise for his team-mates.
The skipper said: "I want to thank everyone, it's been a tough season and there hasn't really been a lot to shout about.
"At times during the campaign it has been really difficult, but in the end the Charlton spirit shone through and I'm so proud to be the captain of this great club.
"They're an absolutely wonderful bunch of players - and it's an honour to be a part of them and be able to lead them out onto the field.
"Hard work, endeavor, and ability all prevailed for us this season."
He added: "We had really dark times, everyone knows it, but we stuck together as one.
"To be able to celebrate survival is a wonderful achievement given everything that's happened during the year.
"It's fair to say it's all been well-documented, but at the end of it all we've reached our objective.
"For me to have been able even just a small part of all of it, makes me a very proud man."
Jackson was equally full of praise for the fans for their constant backing and support during a difficult nine months.
He said: "The support throughout the season, both positive and negative, is all appreciated.
"We realise the fans have to sit through everything, all the ups and downs, and it makes the highs so much better.
"Moments like the ones here at The Valley against QPR and Bournemouth are wonderful and memorable moments for the fans and players alike, making them that extra bit special.
"I can't thank everyone enough, a massive team effort from everyone has seen us get over the line this season."
