Even the most iconic brand can plunge into extinction, and when it does, it can be years before the buying public realizes that it's gone. Many people are still not aware that they can no longer fill it to the rim with Brim, or that the streets are no longer paved with bargains at Circuit City. And don't even think about saying that Chewels offers sugarless fun, unless you're looking to solicit confused stares from your pre-teen.
Read ahead to see some iconic brands that have disappeared since their glory days.

Tax 14.02(4)
Household occupying more than one homestead in a year.
71.52 (7)
, Stats., provides ". . .If a household owns and occupies 2 or more homesteads in the same calendar year, property taxes accrued is the sum of the prorated property taxes accrued attributable to the household for each of such homesteads. If the household owns and occupies the homestead for part of the calendar year and rents a homestead for part of the calendar year, it may include both the proration of taxes on the homestead owned and rent constituting property taxes accrued with respect to the months the homestead is rented in computing the amount of the claim . . ." Thus, if a household owns and occupies a homestead in Wisconsin for a portion of the year and then establishes a homestead in a rented dwelling in Wisconsin for the remainder of the calendar year, property taxes accrued shall be the prorated portion of property taxes attributable to the months the household resided in the owned homestead and rent constituting property taxes accrued shall be 25% of the gross rent paid for the remainder of the year, or 20% if heat was included in the cost of the rent.
Tax 14.02 Note
Example: A household owns and occupies a homestead in Wisconsin from January 1 to April 30, and then establishes a homestead in a rented dwelling in Wisconsin with no heat furnished for the remainder of the calendar year. The annual property taxes accrued on the owned homestead equaled $1,800 and gross rent paid for the last 8 months of the year totaled $2,800.
Tax 14.02 Note
The property taxes and rent allowable for homestead credit purposes equals $1,300, consisting of four-twelfths of the $1,800 of property taxes accrued, or $600, plus 25% of the gross rent of $2,800, or $700 of rent constituting property taxes accrued.

, Stats., a person is not eligible for a homestead credit if the person qualifies for and claims a farmland preservation credit for the same year to which a homestead credit claim relates. However, if a person who has claimed a farmland preservation credit withdraws the claim, the person is no longer ineligible to receive a homestead credit because of the filing of a farmland preservation credit claim. Withdrawal of the farmland preservation credit claim shall be in writing. A homestead credit claim filed after the withdrawal of a farmland preservation credit claim shall be filed by the normal deadline for filing a homestead credit claim or the department shall disallow the claim.
Tax 14.02 Note
Example: A 1997 homestead credit claim filed after the withdrawal of a 1997 farmland preservation credit claim must be filed on or before April 15, 2002.

HRC Recognizes One Year Since Passage of Hate Crimes Prevention Act
October 28, 2010 by Carolyn Simon
One year ago today, President Obama signed into law the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (HCPA). The act, the first federal law to provide protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, was passed after tireless advocacy from a broad coalition of organizations and most importantly, the selfless efforts of Judy and Dennis Shepard. HCPA was not able to address the tragic death of college student Matthew Shepard, but while honoring his memory, recourse is given to the families who have been touched by hate crimes.Continue Reading ►

Describing himself as "(Vi)terbo charged," Dr. Rick Artman told a jam-packed press conference last November that he was ready to go to work as the university's eighth president, leaving no doubt that he is excited to be a part of Viterbo's future. Viterbo's newest arrival also revealed that he's a good sport—quickly switching out his press conference suit coat for a V-Hawk sweatshirt.
The scene was a historic moment that offered a revealing glimpse into the personality and operating style of a man who is ready to lead, who can be refreshingly spontaneous or equally formal, depending upon the occasion.
Artman, 57, succeeded Bill Medland on July 1. For the past 12 years, he served as president of Siena Heights University, a Dominican institution in Adrian, Mich. There, he built a strong reputation as a successful fundraiser, astute planner, and trusted leader who very much enjoys the day-to-day contact he has with students and staff. He is the first sitting president to be appointed in Viterbo's history.
"I am honored and privileged to have been chosen to lead and to serve this outstanding university and to follow the lengthy and superb leadership of President Medland," said Artman, who prefers to be addressed as Rick. "Having served as president of a very similar Catholic university for 12 years, the fit feels wonderful. Viterbo's values match my own."
Saying he is "mission driven and student centered" and "energetic and hard-working," Artman arrived at Viterbo with a leadership style that is anything but top-down and with a gift for building relationships. He is also very active on and off campus.
"Rick brings to the position a vast amount of expertise and boundless energy which will be invaluable," said Mary Ann Gschwind, FSPA, chair of the Board of Trustees and head of the search committee. "His passion for the mission of Catholic higher education and his understanding of the Franciscan values which permeate Viterbo, convinced everyone involved in the search and selection process that he is the best person to serve as Viterbo's president for the years ahead."
While he certainly brings his own vision and plans for the future, Artman has a deep respect for the history of Viterbo and Catholic education, and especially for everyone who came before him.
"I am grateful for the support and confidence of the board of trustees and the corporate members," he said. "The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have endowed the university with a tremendous heritage. I also greatly appreciate the leadership of the previous presidents. Viterbo has been a labor of love for everyone who has come before me, and I respect that legacy."
Richard Bruce Artman grew up in a Pittsburgh neighborhood full of hardworking Catholics, the son of Ray and Marian Artman. Sports were his, and his two older brothers', main interest and pastime. The three boys were the first generation in his family to attend college.
"I had wonderful parents growing up," he said. "They instilled in us the importance of family and the church, and a strong commitment to faith and prayer. They also taught us a respect for work and responsibility, honesty, and fairness."
After high school, he attended the University of Miami, where he studied psychology. He went on to earn a Master of Education degree in College Student Personnel and a Ph.D. in the Administration of Higher Education. Over the years, he served in a number of positions—the school's graduate assistant to the dean of students, residence life area coordinator, assistant dean of students and international student advisor, acting dean of students, university ombudsman, and assistant to the vice president for student affairs, before moving on to another position, this time in the Midwest.
He accepted the position of vice president for student affairs and assistant professor of education at Nebraska Wesleyan University in 1982, a job that provided a great deal of exposure to many areas of university administration. Twelve years later, he was named president of Siena Heights.
"Though the majority of college presidents come from academic affairs—the career path through student affairs is one of the best preparations for the presidency," Artman said. "First, it grounds one in being student centered. It also requires strong relationship building across constituencies—students, parents, faculty, alumni, and staff. And, I was in charge of key areas as a vice president for student affairs—admissions, financial aid, athletics, and residence life."
"I also taught and tried to maintain an active intellectual life via reading and involvement in professional associations," he said. "In student life one is also accustomed to all hours of the day and night, similar to the presidency. So, for me, the career path was great preparation for the multifaceted responsibilities and many demands of the presidency."
Artman performed a Medland-like transformation of Siena during his 12 years on campus. He oversaw the school's change from a college to a university and numerous facility upgrades, he greatly increased the school's Catholic identity, and completely updated Siena's technology, making it the first college or university in the state to be completely wireless.
"Of all the things I've tried to do at Siena, the most important has been to maintain the focus on mission, and to make sure from the office of the president, that everyone was treated with respect and dignity," he said. "We are all gifted in different ways, but we're all the same in the eyes of God."
Throughout Artman's journey in life, his wife Joan has been a constant by his side. She has been invaluable to his success as a university president, he said, and she will be a familiar sight on campus. He and Joan are a team in every sense of the word, he said.
"She's my best friend," he said. "She's the whole package. She makes me want to be a better man."
Joan is a registered nurse who intends to continue her professional career in La Crosse. "She is the most caring person I've ever met," he said. Both she and Rick enjoy entertaining and volunteering.
Artman doesn't foresee any large-scale changes upon his arrival, but he does have some preliminary goals: continuing to increase the endowment, offering more degree completion programs, offering more online programs and degrees, expanding opportunities for global study, and improving the level of technology on campus. His first six months or so will be spent "learning by listening," assessing needs, and gaining a sense of the faculty and staff.
"I plan to carry the 'University of Opportunity' banner," he said.
As did Medland, Artman had a great deal of success at Siena building and maintaining relationships with benefactors and alumni, something he plans to continue at Viterbo. Viterbo's Catholic and Franciscan identity is also important to him.
"I've never found a conflict between Catholicism and academics," he said. "The church searches for the truth as well. And organizations need grounding. The Catholic church acts as a center."
During his years as a university president, Artman has found the presidency to be both rewarding and challenging. The relationships he has been able to build and the success of the students have been the highlights of the job, he said.
"I feel good about new buildings and other accomplishments, but when you see an adult student going to school part-time for several years and finally earning a degree—that's satisfying," he said.
Governance at the university level is like steering a cruise ship—it's a slow process and it takes a while to change direction, he said. It can also be difficult because the president is ultimately responsible for the success of the university, yet authority is decentralized and diffused throughout the campus. His job often involves "building bridges" between the academic and corporate cultures.
In both his professional and personal lives, four governing values guide him. He strives to be faithful to his family, to be a competent professional, to be physically fit (he'll be a regular at the Mathy Center), and to live a Catholic and Christian life.
He enjoyed a close relationship with the students at Siena, something he plans to continue at Viterbo. At Siena, he established the Presidential Scholars program, which awarded half-tuition scholarships to approximately 15–20 incoming freshmen each year.
"I know many students by name," he said. "But if I deal with their day-to-day problems, I wouldn't be doing my job as president. An effective president must lead instead of manage. I'm not in the day-to-day trenches, but I still have a sense of what's going on."
Viterbo will also maintain its prominence in the surrounding area, he said. "Joan and I look forward to an active role in the La Crosse community," Artman said. We intend to volunteer our time and talents with a variety of non-profit agencies and organizations."
Artman began his duties as president July 1, but his official inauguration will be held Friday, March 30, 2007. For more information on Rick Artman, visit www.viterbo.edu.

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Chanel
2009 March 11
Chanel - Paris Fall 2009
View Gallery
(PARIS) It's black and it's white, but it's mostly black--pretty perfect tweed suits and dresses, Karl-ified with white lace and poplin collars as well pleated arm and wrist adornments. The color punctuation came from sweet knit sweater pieces in Chanel's signature shade of baby pink and a pastel mossy green. Naturally, the textures were exquisite, and any woman hell-bent on chic will covet these clothes with gusto. A navy and black tweed style with an inverted front pleat best encapsulated the Fall look, which earned a modern touch from resin-heeled platforms with a heel interrupted by a deco jade band, which also appeared in pendants. The focused collection will appeal strongly to both jeunes and Chanel habitués--a smart approach in times that require it. The missing piece? Bags, which never fail to enchant bottom line-minded buyers and the editorially-focused as well.

For the third time in three months, Bracebridge firefighters came across treacherous roads while responding to a structure fire call.
Fire crews were up and running shortly after 6 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 14 when a camper trailer fire was called in at an address near Fraserburg Road and Harrison Road. Once they navigated down an unplowed roadway, firefighters found the trailer – measuring roughly eight by 20 feet in size – had burned completely to the ground.
"It was a complete loss when we got there, we extinguished basically the rubble," said fire training officer Jared Cayley. "There were no injuries."
Cayley said nobody was inside the trailer, which wasn't the owner's primary residence. He said a cause for the blaze has not yet been determined, but that it is has not been deemed suspicious. Firefighters had cleared from the scene by 8 a.m.
Fire crews previously encountered a poorly-maintained road in mid-December when several cords of firewood caught fire near a propane tank at an address on Kirkpatrick Lane, close to the intersection of Ashley Lane and Highway 118 East. Because the icy roadway was too narrow and slippery for fire trucks to get through, firefighters had to carry pumps to the scene on foot, drawing water from a nearby river.
In late November, Bracebridge and Huntsville firefighters slogged through whiteout conditions and about half a foot of snow to reach a fire that completely destroyed a home near Stephenson Road 1 East and Bonnie Lake Road in Port Sydney. Two OPP cruisers that were also called to the scene became stuck in the snow during the call.

Factoring in to our selection was our efforts to purchase renewable energy for our European facilities and to source renewable energy for all of our distribution centers—including an on-site solar array at our distribution center in Ontario, California. We've developed partnerships to bring clean energy to our Danville, Kentucky distribution center in the heart of coal country and we found a way to purchase 100% renewable energy in Holland. In 2011, 15% of the energy we purchased globally came from renewable energy sources, putting us even closer to our 2015 target of 30%.
Another factor that contributed to Timberland's selection was achieving an industry-leading 38% greenhouse gas emissions reduction between 2006 and 2011 for the facilities that we own and operate and for our employees' air travel. At year end, we'll finalize our 2012 Greenhouse Gas inventory and report our progress.
Other companies recognized at the 2012 Gala included New England leaders in the energy sector such as Joule Unlimited and Ocean Renewable Power Company (co-winners of Emerging Company of the Year), EnerNOC (Employer of the Year), and Harvest Power (Breakout Company of the Year).
We're honored to be among these forward-thinking companies, and excited that the energy industry recognizes that a footwear company can be a part of the solution for developing clean power sources and creating a cleaner future.Next Story »
Timberland relies on its European distribution center in Enschede, Holland to supply footwear, apparel, and accessories to all of its customers throughout Europe. When the lease on the facility was coming to an end, Timberland weighed the pro and cons of renewing it or moving to another location—carefully considering the environmental impact of each.
"We knew we needed a larger space for the future," says David Rupert, Director of International Distribution Engineering at Timberland. "When we looked at the cost of maintaining older equipment that would need to be replaced, we decided it would be more cost-effective to build a new, larger facility with more efficient equipment that required less energy to run," he says.
Timberland chose Almelo, Holland—17 miles south of Enschede—for the new distribution center. The location has both business and environmental benefits, with easy access to the ports of Rotterdam to reduce emissions from trucking. "We looked at inbound and outbound transportation costs, and chose a centralized location," Rupert reports. "We can get to the European market within two days of travel time, so it's very beneficial for our customers."
To live up to the company's environmental commitment, Timberland partnered with OVG re/developers, a Dutch developer with a proven track record in sustainable building construction. "OVG re/developers wanted to build a 'green' building because they wanted to market it to future investors," Rupert explains. "And of course we wanted to have a 'green' building to reduce our energy costs and meet our environmental goals."
As a result, Timberland and OVG re/developers agreed to split certain costs associated with making the building sustainable. OVG re/developers developed the facility specifically to Timberland's requirements—one of which was that the building meet Europe's BREEAM® (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certification. To earn a BREEAM® certificate, a building must meet established benchmarks for specification, design, construction, and use, as they relate to such topics as energy and water use, the health of the internal environment, pollution, transportation, materials, waste, ecology, and management processes. The new distribution center opened on April 1, 2012, and on June 26, it officially received a "Good" BREEAM® certification.
Now fully operational, the facility features a number of environmentally conscious attributes, including underground storage tanks that collect rainwater for flushing toilets and motion-detector lights to help reduce energy consumption. A new, state-of-the-art, automated packing system offers greater efficiency—and less noise.
Outside, there's extensive green landscaping—including more than 100 birdhouses that provide a home for swallows and bats. And like the old facility, the new facility gets 100% of its energy from wind power.
"Our new distribution facility proves once again that eco-conscious choices can also be smart business choices. Now we're more efficient than ever before—shipping out products faster and with less impact to the planet," concludes Rupert.« Previous StoryNext Story »
It's simply common sense. When you produce more goods, you have more to ship, and the more you ship, the more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are likely to be produced. So, while Timberland's goal is always to increase our business and generate profits for our stakeholders, we also have specific goals around reducing our environmental impact – including keeping transportation emissions down.
To measure the GHG emissions caused by inbound transportation—shipping products from factories to our distribution centers—we rely on standards set by the BSR Clean Cargo Working Group. The Group was established as a global business-to-business initiative with a goal of improving environmental performance by measuring, evaluating, and reporting on marine container transportation. Outbound measurements—shipping from distribution centers to retail stores—are not included yet. Timberland is actively working towards including this information in the future.
In 2011, Timberland projected that volume of units shipped would grow by 10%; instead, we found that unit volume grew more significantly than anticipated. Because unit volume grew, we also experienced a 25% increase in transportation emissions. The increase in unit volume put pressure on various parts of our supply chain resulting in more air freight to transport our products. As a result, instead of reducing air freight volume by 30% as targeted, we saw an air freight increase of 23% over the previous year.
"We had significantly more volume than anticipated," says Michael Fischer, senior analyst of global transportation for Timberland. "In effect, we made very little progress on our aggressive goals in 2011." These goals include a transportation-emissions reduction of 37% in 2012 against a 2006 baseline and 28%, over the same baseline in 2015 (to account for ongoing business growth).
Despite challenging results in 2011, Timberland remains committed to reducing our transportation impacts. According to Fischer, there are three ways Timberland plans to reduce emissions:
1. Transportation Mode Choices
2. Container Utilization
3. Distance Reduction
Transportation Choices
By far, the most expensive mode of transport is air freight, which is also the most harmful to the environment in terms of intensity of greenhouse gas emissions. Whenever possible, Timberland aims to utilize ocean freight to reduce our environmental impact. Since most of our suppliers are located overseas, the impact of using road and rail transportation is minimal.
Of course, sometimes air freight is necessary, and there are many factors that play into the decision for selecting an appropriate transportation mode. For example, a design or materials change late in the manufacturing process might mean that a product is delayed, requiring air freight to get it to customers on schedule. External factors also influence transportation choices. Resource or capacity restraints at factories can create delays that result in the need to transport by air to meet our deadlines. The issue could also be on the carrier's side—for example, ocean-going vessels can simply not have enough space for goods. Timberland will seek to resolve issues within our control through improved planning and forecasting methods, which support our emissions objectives.
Container Utilization
The second way Timberland plans to reduce transportation emissions is by improving container utilization, which means more efficiently using cargo space available. "Most of our product still moves as ocean freight over the longest distance, so this is where the opportunity is to have the greatest impact," says Fischer. "If we end up shipping a container that's not filled to capacity, we're creating unnecessary waste—both financially and environmentally," he explains.
Distance Reduction
Timberland is also looking to reduce the distance that goods need to be transported. "Sourcing product closer to the end consumer is the key to this objective. When you reduce your distance you also reduce your emissions. For example, when considering the most efficient way to move products to our North America and European markets, the more we can source from our Dominican Republic factory, the better," says Fischer.
Fischer is hopeful that Timberland's aggressive goals around transportation emissions can be met. However, he also points out that it must be a company-wide effort: "The entire business has to be involved and take ownership of the emission targets, and efforts need to be coordinated. By aligning our objectives and focusing on our three-tiered approach to reducing emissions, we'll get closer to where we want to be."« Previous Story

What is Eye Inflammation?
An inflammation of the eye generally occurs in response to viral or bacterial infection, allergies, environmental irritants, surgery or trauma. While most cases of eye inflammation are not too serious, it is important to control the severity of the inflammation as well as the duration to be sure to avoid any scarring and permanent damage.
Because the eyes are such delicate organs, even a small amount of scar tissue can cause irreversible visual impairment.
Types of Eye Inflammations
There are many different types of eye inflammations depending on what area of the eye becomes inflamed, each condition differing in its symptoms and severity:
- Conjunctivitis - commonly known as pinkeye, conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva which is the clear membrane that covers the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids. Many causes are associated with this condition including bacterial and viral infections, allergies and eye irritants.
- Episcleritis - an inflammatory condition of the episclera which is the connective tissue between the conjunctiva and sclera. The cause of episcleritis is uncertain.
- Blepharitis – an inflammation of the eyelids, often as the result of poor hygiene, chronically dry eyes or oily skin.
- Keratitis – an inflammation of the cornea region of the eye. This is often caused by bacterial or fungal infections and is increasingly prevalent in those with poor contact lens hygiene.
- Uveitis – an inflammation of the eyeball which is generally considered to be one of the more serious forms of eye inflammation. There are also a number of types of Uveitis depending on what area of the eye ball is infected and these may include: Iritis, Cyclitis, Retinitis and Choroiditis.
- Scleritis - an inflammation of the sclera or white of the eye.
Natural Remedies for Eye Inflammation
In many cases, eye inflammations are a bother more than anything else and tend to go away soon enough. Some cases however, are more serious and should be treated accordingly. Whatever the cause, nature has a few effective herbal and homeopathic remedies that can help with over-all eye health, thus promoting recovery and preventing complications to begin with!
- Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) is a well known and commonly used herb for eye health for strengthening eye capillaries, preventing eye-related disease and infection, and restoring the eyes to a problem-free state.
- Aspalathus linearis (Rooibos) and Sutherlandia frutescens are other herbal ingredients that work as effective anti-oxidants used to maintain a healthy supply of blood, oxygen and essential nutrients to the eye – all of which are essential to the rapid recovery from any eye condition.
- Echinacea, Olea europea, Astragalus membranaceous, and Propolis (a bee product) have been used for many years as immune system strengtheners, as it is known that a strong and healthy immune system is vital in protecting against any infection, including infections of the eye and eye allergies.

Math teachers everywhere are rejoicing because their favorite math holiday is almost here!
Pi Day is celebrated every March 14th or 3/14 because pi is approximately 3.14. At this point, some of you may be asking--What is pi? Unfortunately, we are not talking about the kind of pie you eat. Pi is a mathematical term that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter. In other words, if you measure the circumference (distance around the circle) and divide it by the diameter, (distance across the same circle) you should get a number that is close to 3.14. This works with any circle.
Pi is unique for many reasons. One reason is because it is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal. This means that pi is a decimal that keeps going on forever without repeating itself. We use 3.14 out of convenience, but pi really could be written out as 3.14159265358979323846264...
So on March 14, celebrate pi day by trying to find out if pi is really 3.14 on every circle in your house...or try to memorize as many digits of pi as possible.
For more information about pi, check out these websites:
