Read Review of E*TRADE
new fees turn me off
Apr 20, 2001
The Bottom Line
If you have a good amount of capital ($5000+) or enjoy free realtime quotes, E-Trade is good. If you are just looking for a savings account, look elsewhere.
Full Review
I was a huge fan of e-trade, mainly because I was able to keep my savings account somewhat liquid in a California Exempt tax money market. This money market would earn twice the interest of a standard savings account, and the interest was not taxable. What a great deal. It was, until recently.
E-Trade just imposed a new fee for "non-active" traders. This account management fee is a $15 every quarter (3 months) starting in March. To avoid this fee, you must complete two trades within six months. Since two trades cost $40, you are basically going to be charged either $30 or $40 every six months.
The other way to avoid this fee is have a total of at least $5,000 in liquid assets in your account.
I am not an active trader, nor am I well off enough to have that much in my savings account. I have made only a a dozen or so trades in the three years I have had this account. I went with E-Trade with those factors in mind. With this new account management fee, I am quickly looking around for other spots to keep my money.
The website is really easy to navigate. They have easy to use tabs to get you to the exact spot you need to go. If you need to trade, click the "trade" tab, if you want to find out about a stock, hit "quotes and research". Pretty easy going. Load times differ depending on the time of day, the fastest times coming of course later at night after trading hours. My 56K modem didn't have much of a problem loading the pages though.
E-Trade seems to be a good system for somewhat active traders. The commission fee is high at $20 per trade, but you get unlimited free realtime quotes, and lots of research options. Trades are executed quickly, and I have always had exactly the right amount of shares traded at the exact price I wanted.
Customer service is hit or miss. I have had times when I waited for about 5 minutes, and other times where I had to hang up because I lost my patience.

Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention concerns an endoscopy apparatus of the type having an endoscopy capsule for acquiring images of the inside of an organ or vessel of a human or animal body, that can be wirelessly transmitted to an external receiver, and wherein receptive cameras are provided at each end that supply separate images from different acquisition directions. 2. Description of the Prior Art For endoscopic examination, especially of the intestine or the inner intestine surface, the use of an endoscopy apparatus in the form of an endoscopy capsule is known. The patient swallows the endoscopy capsule, and it is passively moved by peristalsis, acquires images of the inner intestine surface with an integrated camera, and transmits them to the body surface via an integrated transmission device and a receiving device. Known endoscopy capsules have at one end a miniaturized single-frame camera that is associated with a power supply in the form of a battery, via which a light source is also operated in order to illuminate the acquired environment. Furthermore, a transmission device is provided via which the transmission of the acquired images to the external receiver ensues. Such an endoscopy capsule conventionally has been suited only for the examination of the small intestine, because the camera tumbles or wobbles in the inner organs with larger diameter (stomach and large intestine), and only a small portion of the inner surface is recorded by the camera and can be graphically represented in a diagnostically relevant manner. The diagnostic yield during a small intestine examination is approximately 70%, meaning that during the passage of the endoscopy capsule through the small intestine, only approximately 70% of the intestine surface is acquired in a manner such that can be diagnostically evaluated. A significant portion is not recorded, and as a consequence a significant portion of pathological changes can be overlooked (misdiagnosed). From U.S. Patent Publication No. 2002/0109774, an endoscopy capsule is known in which two separate cameras are disposed at both ends of the capsule and provide exposures from different directions. Each camera is associated with a defined optical path, meaning the respective camera systems are rigid insofar as the acquisition regions are non-variable. From Japanese Application 2001112701 (Patent Abstracts of Japan), an endoscopy capsule is known in which an image sensor is likewise used which is associated with an adjustable optic that, for focusing purposes, can be moved along the optical axis, defined by the rigid image sensor. An endoscopy capsule is known from U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003/0023150 in which one camera is arranged in two separate housings these housings being coupled with one another via a flexible connection. An object of the present invention is to provide an endoscopy apparatus having an endoscopy capsule that allows an improved and more intensive examination, in particular of the small intestine, and also of organs of larger diameter that could previously be examined only insufficiently. This object is achieved in accordance with the invention by an endoscopy apparatus of the initially described type wherein at least one camera can be tilted to the side around its center position (in particular alternately to both sides) to change the acquisition region, or can implement a circular movement around the center position. Differing from known endoscopy capsules, which have only one camera with a fixedly predetermined acquisition direction, the capsule in the inventive endoscopy apparatus has two cameras aligned in different directions at both ends; an endoscopy capsule with a bidirectional acquisition possibility is thus achieved. Each camera supplies a separate image, which has a number of advantages. The diagnostic yield can be significantly increased, in particular in small intestine examinations. Given movement of the capsule through the small intestine, the front camera (in the direction of movement) acquires the small intestine or the small intestine surface before the passing motion of the capsule. Lesions hidden in the mucous membrane folds are not recognizable, and thus possibly may not be detected in the first exposure. If the capsule now migrates through the small intestine, the intestine wall experiences a distension, which leads to the mucous membrane folds elastically expanding and the lesions and the like hidden therein clearly showing up better. This is also due to mucous and bile on the inner intestine surface being displaced or thinned by the passage of the capsule. Because this area is acquired a second time by the rearward-directed camera, it is possible to detect possible diseases or problem regions from this second exposure. This means the diagnostic yield can be significantly increased because the doubled image data set is acquired during an intestine examination, and each image data set shows the intestine surface in a different state, namely immediately before and immediately after the passage of the capsule, with the surface changes associated therewith. A significantly better and well-founded diagnosis of the small intestine thus can be made by the doctor. At least one camera is inventively capable of movement to change the acquisition region, and this motion can ensue either automatically as long as the endoscopy capsule is located inside the body, or can be controlled via an external signal from the outside that can be received by the endoscopy capsule. This inventive embodiment enables the acquisition region of at least one camera to be varied either continuously or arbitrarily. For example, it is possible, in the case of automatic operation, the camera is intermittently tilted laterally (relative to a center position in which it is, for example, normally aligned, preferably reciprocally to one side and the other, in order to continuously pan (and thus considerably expand) the acquisition region. This is advantageous because the capsule, which is moved by peristalsis, migrates relatively slowly. An alternative to lateral reciprocation is to allow the camera to process around its center position, meaning the acquisition region changes with a circular motion. Both possibilities lead to a considerable expansion of the acquisition region, and this provides advantage that the intestine wall is acquired from angles changing dependent on the motion, and possible wall structures can be better detected. The inventive endoscopy capsule also offers a number of advantages in the examination of organs or vessels that are larger in diameter than the diameter of the endoscopy capsule, that possess an external shape similar to a drug capsule. The camera tumbles in these organs or vessels because it is narrower than the vessel/organ; but as a result of the use of the second camera, a doubled number of images exist that show the vessel/organ from different viewing directions. The chance that the organ or vessel wall is acquired by both cameras thus increases (in comparison with known endoscopy capsules) such that the diagnostic yield is in the clinically usable range. It is thus possible with an endoscopy capsule to also examine such organs/vessels that could previously not be diagnosed. The cameras that are respectively at the ends of the capsule (essentially oblong-cylindrical in shape) can be aligned such that their central optical axes lie on a common axis. This means that both cameras are normally aligned with one another; but their acquisition directions are opposite one another. As an alternative, it is possible for the respective optical axes to be at an angle (non-zero) relative to one another. One camera, for example, can be aligned flush with the longitudinal axis of the capsule, while the second camera is at an angle of, for example, 20�- 60� with regard to this. Because two cameras are provided, two separate image data blocks are to be transmitted. For this, a separate transmission device to transmit the image data to the external receiver can be associated with each camera. As an alternative, a common transmission device can be used that transmits the image data from both cameras. This has the advantage that fewer components are necessary and the endoscopy capsule can be dimensioned smaller. The energy requirement is also less, such that no additional energy source (battery, etc.) has to be provided. It is also not absolutely necessary to provide a second light source for the second camera. It can be sufficient to arrange the one light source by design such that the acquisition regions of both the first and second cameras are illuminated. Nevertheless, the possibility naturally exists to provide a second light source that is fed via a common energy source. In the case of a common transmission device, it is ensured that the different image signals can be identified on the receiver side, so it is clear which signal originates from which camera. For this purpose, in an embodiment, the common transmission device is fashioned for alternating transmission of the image data of both cameras. This means that an intermittent transmission operation ensues, thus a time-controlled data transmission, such that, using the time-control scheme, the receiver can clearly detect those images that are provided from the respective cameras. Alternatively or in addition, the common transmission device can transmit the image data of both cameras with different frequencies; thus, a quasi-frequency encoding or identification of the camera-specific image data ensues. In a further embodiment the common transmission device associates the image data of at least one camera, or one or both cameras themselves associate an identifying characteristic (identifier) with the image data. Thus the digital image data of at least one camera is associated with a digital characteristic that identifies the transmitted image data block as belonging to this camera, which can likewise by recognized by the receiver, and it can, camera-specifically process the image data. This identifying characteristic preferably is generated by changing the signal of one or more predetermined image pixels of a camera. For example, a number of predetermined image pixel signals (for example 10) can be changed such that the respective pixels would provide a black image point which is detected by suitable processing software at the receiver side, and the identification thus can be made. In addition, the image signals an be influenced such that the color or color temperature (shown pixel-by-pixel) changes; the characteristic is thus realized by a specific color change. It is appropriate for the receiver to reconstruct the original signals on the basis of the changed signals, in particular in the case of a color change, in order to re-obtain the original information. A further alternative for generation of a characteristic is to provide an identifying characteristic detectable, that is in the image, on the camera or an optically transparent coating associated with it. This can be any arbitrary marking visible in the image, for example a point or a cross or the like. In a further embodiment the endoscopy capsule can be actively moved within the organ or vessel by an external unit cooperating with it. This unit, for example, can be an external magnetic field generator that generates a magnetic field that interacts with a capsule-disposed magnet element, such that the capsule (which follows the field change) can be actively moved (guided) in the organ by changing the external magnetic field. This inventive alternative is in particular appropriate in connection with a possible change of the acquisition region of a camera. The doctor hereby has the possibility to travel back to a specific region that the endoscopy capsule had passed, and to selectively examine again a specific wall region by suitable alignment of the camera. It is also appropriate for one camera to have a wide-angle lens, so the acquisition region exhibits a very large angle, while the second camera preferably has a telephoto lens that enables it to acquire an examination region significantly enlarged. This is particularly advantageous in connection with the active mobility of the endoscopy capsule by an external movement controller and the (preferably externally applied) adjustment of the camera acquisition region of the camera having the telephoto lens. This advantage is even more pronounced if the focal width of the camera with the telephoto lens, or even the focal width of both cameras, are variable by an external adjustment signal receivable by the endoscopy capsule. The endoscopy capsule 2 (that is shown in a sectional representation) has a hollow-cylindrical housing 5 that is closed at each end with a transparent, dome-like covering 6. Behind each covering 6 lies a camera 7 a, 7 b that acquires images of the nearest examination region through the optical transparent covering 6. For this, an objective 8 a, 8 b is associated with each camera 7 a, 7 b. The objective 8 a, for example, can be a wide-angle lens, while the objective 8 b can be a telephoto lens. Furthermore, a separate transmission device 9 a, 9 b is associated with each camera 7 a, 7 b, via which the acquired image data are given through the patient body to the externally positioned receiver 3 that is, for example, attached to the body surface. The receiver 3 is an image data storage in which the image data are acquired and stored during the time in which the endoscopy capsule is located inside the body. The image data are first subsequently read out and displayed on a connectable monitor. A common energy supply 10 (for example in the form of a battery) via which the cameras 7 a, 7 b are also supplied is associated with both transmission devices 9 a, 9 b. A light source 11 (which is preferably a light source 11 flashing with a short period, as a type of stroboscope) is also supplied via the energy supply 10. A control device 12 is provided that controls the overall operation of the endoscopy capsule 2. The operation of the light source 11 is controlled by it, as well as the acquisition operation of the cameras 7 a, 7 b, which acquire an image precisely when a light flash is emitted by the light source 11. The light source 11 is disposed such that the generated light escapes from both coverings 6 and illuminates the surrounding area near the respective camera. As As The endoscopy capsule 15 from Although modifications and changes may be suggested by those skilled in the art, it is the intention of the inventors to embody within the patent warranted hereon all changes and modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of their contribution to the art.

Child psychologist and parenting expert Tovah P. Klein, Ph.D., gives insight to toddlers and how they thrive by giving us a toddler's view of the world, as well as tips for calming a public tantrum.
Let her get bored! Who cares if he never finishes dinner? And who says he has to share his toys, anyway? A refreshing new look at the terrible 2s aims to convince us that a hands-off attitude is not only key to your sanity, but also the seed of your child's future success.
The way that parents interact with their kids from ages 2-5 has a permanent impact on who those children become later in life. Scared yet? In How Toddlers Thrive: What Parents Can Do Today for Children Ages 2-5 to Plant the Seeds of Lifelong Success (Touchstone/Simon & Schuster), Tovah P. Klein, Ph.D., a Manhattan-based child psychologist and parenting expert who has spent more than 20 years working with toddlers, gives us a unique perspective of the world as seen through the eyes of small children. Her easy-to-read "toddler manual" explains why letting a child be a child is the best way to instill self-confidence, resilience, and compassion that last a lifetime.
You write that we need to set a strong foundation during the toddler years in order to avoid "consequences that are seen for years to come."What most of us say we want for our kids is for them to be able to handle life, to be compassionate beings, to problem-solve, and to be motivated. If kids can't trust themselves, then it's very hard for them to put those pieces together. The roots of self-regulation are laid down in these early years, and to overlook that could mean a child grows up feeling insecure, afraid to try new things, and not being understood.
Are some parents more intuitive about "cracking the toddler code"? There's definitely a range. Anyone with more than one child knows that there is more than one way to interact. The second child can teach you so much if he's different from the first. Some parents come to it more naturally. Some say, "I loved having a baby, but having a toddler is hard." For others, the opposite is true. It depends who the parent is. And ultimately, our children teach us.
You recommend that parents rethink the food battle: Mealtimes are about chatting and coming together as a family, not about eating.In many cultures, food is nurture, food is love, but it's also a way of saying "I'm a good parent. My child eats well." Well, unless your child has a rare medical condition, he won't starve. Most kids have a control place—like sleeping, food, or clothing—and there are very few places where a kid can get control! But food can be a battleground. For toddlers, it's a battle of independence. They decide they're in control. The less the parents make it into a control battle...the easier it is for everyone. Kids will learn to eat what they need, but only if the parents stop interfering.
Any advice about every parent's nightmare: the epic public tantrum?If it's somewhere like a grocery store, leave immediately, even if you have to abandon your shopping cart. All your child needs at this point is calm. She cannot listen or be rational, so do not make demands of her. She needs to hear "It's okay, I'll be here when you come down out of this." It's frightening for your child, too. She is literally beyond control, and counting on you to keep her safe. I always remind parents, "this too shall pass," but it's also important to look back and work out why your child has fallen apart to that point. Was she overwhelmed? Tired? Over-stimulated? Disappointed? This is a very little person!
You talk about the idea of letting the child be selfish, that generosity and sharing will come later. How can we possibly abandon correcting our poor-mannered kids?Parents always tell me, "It's embarrassing when my child doesn't follow social norms." I say, "Get over it. It's not about you." At ages 2 and 3, kids are just figuring out who they are. It is a very selfish time. We all want our kids to be kind human beings—but first, their sense of themselves as their own person has to develop. If we force them to share before they are ready, we are asking them to give up a piece of what they need. The media is very black and white on these nuanced concepts, but parents need to understand that toddlers are just going through an antisocial phase.
How do you feel about tablets and other technology for toddlers?There is no question that kids learn through interaction in an environment with three dimensions. The brain develops by using all the senses. But one of my biggest concerns with technology is that it takes the parent away from the child. Young kids' interactions are very "in the moment." If they look up and Daddy is busy texting, the child feels neglected. Kids need that human interaction. Our kids are counting on us so much. We need to have a zone where our kids are number-one. Right now there's no boundary. (Get the low-down on children's ability to learn from learning-oriented entertainment.)
Are there any toddler traits that you wish we didn't grow out of?Oh, definitely! I envy a toddler's wonder and curiosity, his lack of cynicism, his joy, his ability to embrace the moment. Toddlers truly do find joy in very small moments. They don't see mistakes as mistakes—a setback isn't necessarily wrong, or bad. And they can still think outside the box! They come up with new and innovative ways to do things. Toddlers really do have the ability to go into something open-minded.
What can you say to parents who are still struggling with the simple yet vital message that no single interaction makes a child who he or she is?In this parenting climate there is so much pressure on parents that they can end up believing, "Every move I make is the most important moment in my child's life!!" But in reality, kids are forgiving. What kids are actually taking back from these moments—good and bad—is a message of "I am loved, I am cared for, Mom and Dad are there for me. I can count on them." And that comes from a relationship that does and sometimes does not go smoothly. Bad moments teach kids that it's not about perfection: "Hey, even Mommy can do it wrong!" It's in those very moments where we think we've done the worst job that the broader picture should emerge—that our kids are thriving in a relationship, not just one interaction.
