Pelavin: With more than eight million Americans out of
work since January, we must improve our schools, provide health care to our
children, and shrink the gap between those looking for affordable housing and
the number of affordable units available-yet the House-passed budget will hamper
efforts in all these areas.
WASHINGTON, May 24, 2004 - In response to the U.S. House of Representatives'
narrow passage of its Fiscal Year 2005 budget resolution conference report, Mark
J. Pelavin, Associate Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism,
issued the following statement:
Last week, House Members approved a budget conference report that would
saddle future generations with enormous deficits and cut funding for the very
programs most needed by low-income Americans. We urge Senators to reject these
detrimental spending guidelines.
The conference report's one-year budget would cut funding for vital domestic
programs depended on by American families, including public housing, child care,
and nutritional assistance for women, infants and children, while paving the way
for $55.2 billion in tax cuts this year, and massive tax cuts in future years.
The budget projects reductions in desperately needed funding for elementary and
secondary education programs and shortchanges the nation's most successful
housing assistance program, the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, by
over $1.3 billion, which could lead to the eviction of more than 200,000
families that rely on the vouchers to meet their housing needs. With more than
eight million Americans out of work since January, we must improve our schools,
provide health care to our children, and shrink the gap between those looking
for affordable housing and the number of affordable units available-yet the
House-passed budget will hamper efforts in all these areas.
We have often observed that the federal budget is the great moral document of
our nation, establishing our priorities for the years to come. Yet instead of
requiring all tax cuts to be paid for over the next five years, the conference
report limits the "pay-as-you-go" rules to a single year and provides an
exemption for $27.5 billion in protected tax cuts. This single year provision
would facilitate massive tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans in years to
come, draining much needed revenue that could strengthen ailing programs for
hungry children, uninsured veterans, and minimum wage workers. The budget
conference report's three centerpiece tax cuts would also inequitably bestow
benefits on the wealthiest individuals; the top fifth of households would
receive an average tax cut of $1,380 in 2005 as compared to an average tax cut
of $155 for those in the middle fifth of the income spectrum. If these tax cuts
are eventually offset through domestic program cuts, most low- and middle-income
families would lose significantly more from program reductions than they would
gain from these minor tax breaks.
Jewish tradition affirms our obligation to maintain a safety net for the less
fortunate. In Deuteronomy, the Torah commands that we "open our hands to the
poor and the needy among us." It is this mandate which compels us to oppose the
fiscally irresponsible budget passed by the House and call on the Senate to
support only a budget that enables the government to invest in critical programs
that benefit Americans of all income levels. Without such leadership, we condemn
our children and our children's children to a future in which their government
struggles to meet the most basic needs of its citizens.

WASHINGTON - A transgender woman says she was kicked out of a local spa. But the spa tells a different story.
James Lee, the manager of Spa World in Centreville, Va., tells the Washington City Paper that transgender woman Riya Suising was asked to leave the Korean-style bathhouse late last year after other customers complained about her presence in the women's communal bath.
Suising has filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau claiming discrimination.
The bureau opened an investigation and another spa employee issued a written response saying the spa did not "accept" homosexuals or transgenders at the facility, the Fairfax Times reported.
But Lee says the employee was not fluent in English and called it a miscommunication, according to the City Paper.
He says the spa does not discriminate and that Suising was not forced to leave. She was given a full refund.

10 Ways Our World is Becoming More Shareable
page 2
The Internet. It's easy to take it for granted, but its potential as a sharing platform has arguably just begun to unfold. The Internet itself would not be possible if people did not share labor, code, and infrastructure. No one owns it or runs it. It's built and it operates on free and open source software and open standards. Data travels over networks and is routed through servers owned by private individuals and corporations who share transport and routing duties.
This global commons enables the creation of tremendous value. Harvard Business School professor John Quelch estimates that the economic impact of the Internet is $1.4 trillion annually in the U.S. alone. This year, the Computer and Communications Industry Association calculated that companies and nonprofits relying on "fair use" (such as search engines, web hosts, and social media) employ 17 million people and generate $4.7 trillion a year, one sixth of our Gross Domestic Product.
All of that value is created on top of what is essentially volunteer sharing on a massive scale. As late as 1992, IBM did not think such a network was possible. Through its runaway success, the Internet has become the model for organizing life in the twenty-first century, as well as the essential infrastructure and distribution channel for commerce, ideas, work, and play.
And its influence reaches far beyond the online world. The Internet is reprogramming culture to the degree that society will likely be remade in its image, so that we have a better chance at thriving like it does. As you'll see by the end of this list, this change is already underway.
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). FOSS and the Internet have a symbiotic relationship. The Internet would not have been possible without FOSS. And the growth of FOSS relies on the Internet to power its peer production and distribution model. Over 270 million people use the Firefox browser, a shared, freely available tool. Half of the world's Web sites, about 112 million, run on Apache Server, also open source. A quarter of a million websites run on Drupal, a leading open source content management system.
That's just scratching the surface: Today, there are over 200,000 open source projects with nearly 5 billion lines of code that would cost an estimated $387 billion to reproduce. Check out the Infoworld's Open Source Hall of Fame for more on desktop favorites, like Ubuntu, as well as obscure but vital infrastructure projects like BIND. You might also check out the Open Source Census, which tracks business installations of FOSS.
Today, millions of people and organizations rely on FOSS for their daily work, as do a growing number of governments. It's a pervasive part of life in the developed world—and because of its low cost, open source may become even more important to developing countries.
The Open Way. Inspired by the success of free and open source software, the values and practices of open source—making information and innovations publicly available—are being applied in a truly dizzying number of ways. In just the last few years, open or peer-to-peer sharing strategies have gained significant traction in science, business, culture, education, and government. Applications of "the open way" range from the obscure, like the open source tractor, to the everyday, like the OpenStreetMaps project. It's a tough trend to quantify because it is so viral and self-organized. To get a sense of the scope of the movement, check out the P2P Foundation blog or opensource.com.
The Obama administration's Open Government Directive is currently one of the most visible of these efforts, at least in the U.S. The directive ordered executive departments and agencies to identify and publish online in an open format at least three high-value data sets; create an open government web page and respond to public input received via that page; and develop and publish an Open Government Plan that will describe how they will improve transparency and integrate public participation and collaboration into its activities.
Social Media. Sharing is the currency of social media. And as the author of Socialnomics, Erik Qualman, says, social media is bigger than you think.
More video was uploaded to YouTube in the last six months than was produced by the three major TV networks in 60 years.
With over 400 million users, Facebook would be the fourth largest country in the world by population.
Wikipedia has over 13 million articles, all written by volunteers—and with an accuracy that studies show is comparable to the best commercial encyclopedias.
In 2008, one in eight newly married couples met through social media.
Ninety-six percent of Generation Y has joined a social network, where sharing is a way of life.
Creative Commons has made it easier for creators to share their work. They've licensed over 130 million creative works in 50 countries since 2002.
In these powerful ways, social media has taken sharing mainstream.
Generation G. Now that a Shareable world has a serious foothold, all that's needed is a willing population to scale it up. There's a strong argument that Gen Y is the generation that can bring a shareable world to fruition.
Roughly 100 million strong in the United States, Gen Y grew up on the Internet and brings its values and practices, including sharing, into the real world. Last year TrendWatching.com called them Generation G (for "generous") and said they are accelerating a cultural shift where "giving is already the new taking." They may not reach their full sharing potential until later in life, but there are promising indicators:
Sixty-one percent of 13-25 year olds feel personally responsible for making a difference in the world.
Eighty-three percent will trust a company more if it's socially and environmentally responsible.
Volunteering by college students increased by 20 percent between 2002 and 2005.
Eighty-three percent volunteered in 2005.
Gary Hamel believes that this massive generational force, which outnumbers baby boomers, promises to transform our world in the image of the Internet, a world where sharing and contributing to the common good are integral to the good life. William Strauss and Neil Howe, authors of Millennials Rising, believes that Gen Y is a hero generation, coming of age in a time of crisis they're already helping to resolve, largely by applying the tools and mindset of sharing.
Neal Gorenflo and Jeremy Adam Smith wrote this article for YES! Magazine, a national, nonprofit media organization that fuses powerful ideas with practical actions. Neal is the publisher of Shareable.net, a new online magazine that explores the ways that sharing is transforming life in the twenty-first century. Jeremy is the editor of Shareable.net, author of The Daddy Shift, and co-editor of two anthologies, The Compassionate Instinct and Are We Born Racist?, which Beacon Press will publish in August 2010.

|Samsonite Golf bags are supplied by Athalon Sports Gear. Athalon was established more than twenty years ago manufacturing high quality sports bags, duffels and ski bags. Each bag was designed and tested by Athalon employees, who were avid sports enthusiasts. In order to pass the rigorous tests, the bag had to be incredibly durable and strong, but also had to work perfectly. The pockets had to be properly sized and placed in the ideal spot for best usage. The shoulder straps and handles had to be appropriately balanced and comfortable. Every bag had to be water repellent or allow for proper drainage when necessary. The bags had to be lightweight for carrying ease. Each stress point, whether it was on a handle, shoulder strap, or bottom seam had to be properly designed and then reinforced to stand up to all stress demands. The toughest and final test was to produce a bag that was a reflection of the Athalon employee's commitment. It had to be something special to get their stamp of approval.

First-time marathoners beware of 'Mount Roosevelt'

Attention first timers of the Chicago Marathon: despite what you may have heard, the racecourse isn't totally flat.
As exhausted runners enter the 26th mile — within earshot of cheers coming from the finish line — the cement will slowly and cruelly rise underfoot.
Say hello to "Mount Roosevelt."
The 700-foot stretch along Roosevelt between Columbus and Michigan rises 23 feet and can be a challenging and unexpected obstacle for lovers of level land.
But know this: once crested, the finish line is in sight.
Also, take comfort in the fact you're not dealing with Boston Marathon's formidable 88-foot, nearly half-mile long energy zapper known as Heartbreak Hill.

I've gone thru countless bottles of deodorant, even "made for men" types and this beats all of them hands down.

I tried different brands of deodorant but nothing worked for me. Finally I tried Total Nonscents antiperspirant and it works really good for me. Thank you DermaDoctor.
- I can raise my arms again!! Review by St. Louis, MO
Quality Price Value
Regular drugstore antiperspirants never kept me from sweating, especially if I was extra stressed or nervous. I tried the Certain Dri, which caused a burning sensation after application, and was difficult to remember to put it on (supposed to use before bed, can't use after bathing). I tried Total Nonscents, hoping it would not cause the same irritation as certain dri. WOW!! It is amazing. I have almost finished my second bottle & I will never go back to regular antiperspirants . No irritation, no sweating, no more pit-stains, no stinking :)
- The Best!!!! Review by MP, Orangevale, CA
Quality Price Value
When my over-the-counter"hypo-allergenic" antiperspirant started breaking me out, I tried everything. I haunted health food stores, searched for more options, but even that alum crystal caused a rash. I found this product online and gave it a shot, although I didn't have much hope. But it worked!!! Keeps my dry and doesn't break me out! What a Godsend! You've got a customer for life, here!
- AWESOME Review by NC
Quality Price Value
I work outside all day everyday and i use to look like a man with the big sweat rings on my shirts, and i used certain dri and it works well if you can stand the pain,itching,and red bumps. But this stuff is like wearing nothing at all, but you do not sweat or stink. 100% satisfied i would recommend this product to anybody. Thank You dermadoctor once again for another great product.
- does not last the day - too low of a percentage of active ingredient Review by walkingwoman, Boulder, CO USA
Quality Price Value
The percentage of active ingredient is too low for it to last all day for me. I love that the rest of the ingredients are fairly non-toxic, but it does not work for me.
- Does exactly as promised! Review by ND, Phoenix/AZ
Quality Price Value
I purchased this deodorant because I was sick and tired of irritation after shaving and no matter what I tried, it left me with white buildup on my clothes and still irritated in my pitts. A little tip; after applying Total NonScents, wait a few minutes before putting your shirt on as it's very wet feeling (not sticky though!)but soaks in nicely after a few moments. It has no smell whatsoever and will last 18-24 hours although after a heavy workout it does give out. I only gave it 4 stars as I find it very pricey for the size of the bottle and therefore can only use it in rotation with my old deodorant.
- Best Antiperspirant Bar None! Review by TM, Delaware
Quality Price Value
I have tried countless products with no positive results until now. They would either stain my clothes or I'd end up with odor by the middle of the day. This product delivers! No odor, no wetness, fragrance free for us sensitive gals(no more rashes) and NOT tested on our animal friends, big plus.
- Thank you DERMAdoctor! - You SAVED me $5000+ a year Review by XOXO, Chicago, IL
Quality Price Value
Hyperhidrosis runs in my family. My mother suffered silently her entire life-I inherited the gene. Prior to finding Total nonscents, I replenished my tshirt stash 1x/wk and tried every drugstore deodorant gimmick on the market. I stress during my 10-15x/wk presentations. I never bought cute tops because I would sweat through them and have embarrassing odor. You SAVED my life and bank acct! I hope this formula continues to work for me.
- Fabulous product! Review by NH, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
Quality Price Value
I was a little afraid to try this product due to the low percentage of the active ingredient, but I'm glad I did. The drugstore brands just weren't doing the job anymore and I was sweaty and stunk by late afternoon. Not to mention the white deoderant balls that formed under my arms and then fell off at inopportune times!!!! This product works all day and no deoderant balls! Finally, something that works and allowed me to wear no sleeves during summertime!

I am a comfortable person around the house but when I decide to "take off" from home I want to get going quickly. Powder your nose, place your Vikki wig in place .. pick it out a little and don't forget your lipstick! Awesome wig for on the go comfort and speed. It's dependable for style and comfort. Love it! It's a little warm for me during Texas summer but not unbearable.

Have been a customer of Paula Young's for several years and have ordered several of the VIKKI wigs, which I loved. However, I've found it necessary to return the last 4 and will not be ordering it again, because it's not the same as it used to be. The "new" Vikki is now made in Bangladesh. It used to be made in Indonesia. With this change came a big change in the quality - now it's too short, even for a pixie style, and the hair is barely fastened to the wefting - way too thin and although I've always worn the average size, these last wigs practically sat on top of my head, even with the tabs set back as far as they would go. Maybe heads are smaller in Bangladesh. It was my favorite wig - now I wonder what changes I would find if I'd go to another style. I've spent a lot of money on PY wigs, but now I'm almost afraid to order from Paula Young again, because I hate having to return things! Very disappointed! I sent an email to customer service with my concerns, and never received any kind of reply or even acknowledgement. As of now, I'm a very unhappy customer.....

About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about Vikki WhisperLite® Wig by Paula Young®:
For me, this is an everyday wig. I work at a call center & wear a phone headset all day long. No interference with this wig. Don't have to worry about it coming off when I take the headset off. Very cool in the summer. NO ONE that I work with realizes I wear a wig. This has been the best by far and when I change the color, they truly believe I've just "colored" my hair.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Family can't tell!
By Texas Nana
from San Antonio, Tx area
I'm 72, and cut my mostly silver, thin, fine hair into a pixie about a year agoand it suits my lifestyle. However a difficult to control cowlick in the crown/back area was driving me crazy. I bought this wig so as to always have a perfect pixie and it is! I wore it 4 times before I told my husband and family that it was a wig and they were stunned; today I wore it to get a pedicure at my hair salon and although my regular stylist wasn't there I got compliments on it from two other stylists....I didn't say a word, except "thank you". It is very comfortable, fits well, and looks very natural. I got #56 color which blends with my hair color perfectly. While I won't wear this wig all day, every day, because I'm outside a lot with dogs and plants, when my hair needs to look "salon perfect" I have the solution.

Vikki is my favorite
By Cat Lady
from Kansas City, KS
I have brown naturally curly hair but very thin on top. Wiglets do not work. Vikki's longer nape blends perfectly with my color but still has the short look.
Really love this style!
By Trishasue

I have been looking for a pixie type style wig to wear everyday. My hair is thin and I am unable to wear my own hair in pixie. Love this wig.

By Jackie

I've ordered the Vikki wig from Paula Young more than any other style. Have also worn several colors. Have been stopped in grocery stores by women telling me how pretty my hair looks, and no one ever suspects that it's a wig. However, the last Vikki I ordered I had to return because the hair was too short on the sides - it wasn't made like previous ones. I'll try one more Vikki, but if it's the same way, I'll try another style. Either whoever made the wig made it wrong, or the Vikki is having it's style changed. I would still recommend it, however.

Migrants moving from Mexico to the United States represent the world's largest migration corridor, and the two countries have a long, complicated history with respect to immigration. Previously a country of emigration, Mexico increasingly has been experiencing new roles: as a country of transmigration and increasingly of settlement. The research here examines Mexico's relationship with its vast diaspora in the United States; the economic, insecurity, and other factors that have led to sizeable emigration; and the country's evolving policymaking with respect to migration.
In this edition of the Migration Information Source's annual Top 10 migration issues of the year, Migration Policy Institute experts analyze key immigration developments and trends that occurred around the globe during 2014. The countdown to No. 1 is underway, with the publication of Issues No. 10 through 4. Come back tomorrow to learn what are the Top 3 issues of the year.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
Since the 1980s, Mexico has become home to Guatemalan refugees and served as a transit country for Central Americans seeking to reach the United States. Manuel Ángel Castillo of El Colegio de México analyzes Mexico's policies toward its southern neighbors.
Many migratory streams from Central America — including refugees, economic migrants, and transit flows headed north from South America and elsewhere — have converged in North America since the 1980s. Sarah J. Mahler and Dusan Ugrina of Florida International University outline the region's main trends.
Of the 5.7 million children of immigrants under age 10 in the United States, 37 percent of them are of Mexican origin. Recent data shed light on their prospects for integration and social and economic mobility, according to Roger Waldinger of the University of California Los Angeles.
An estimated 10.3 million unauthorized migrants were living in the U.S. in 2004. Jennifer Van Hook, Frank Bean, and Jeff Passell report on who they are, where they live, the work they do, and their levels of education and poverty.
Jeffrey H. Cohen of Pennsylvania State University outlines the migration and remittance patterns of people from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.
This volume, by a former senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission, argues that the U.S. approach to immigration and border security is off-kilter and not keeping pace with the scope and complexity of people's movement around the world, nor with expectations regarding freedom of movement.
This panel discussion provided a brief overview of Mexican immigrants in the U.S., the role and function of Mexican consular officials in aiding this population, and reviewed the structure and foci of the Mexican government's Institute of Mexicans Abroad.
Mexico's efforts to help its migrants succeed in the U.S. offer a new example of an immigrant-sending country looking to improve its emigrants' lives and connect with its diaspora. This report examines Mexico's approach to its migrants and details the activities of the government's attempt to map the expanding range of its educational, health care, financial, and civic programs.
This report examines existing collaborative teacher exchange programs some U.S. states and districts have established with Mexico and Spain, and identifies such programs as a relatively unexplored, yet promising strategy for alleviating endemic teacher shortages and meeting the needs of LEP students.
This book explores how developing-country governments have institutionalized ties with emigrants and their descendents. It offers an unprecedented taxonomy of 45 diaspora-engaging institutions found in 30 developing countries, exploring their activities and objectives. It also provides important practitioner insights from Mali, Mexico, and the Philippines.
This report, commissioned by the BBC World Service, seeks to explore the myriad impacts of the global financial crisis that began in September 2008 on migration flows, immigration policies, remittances, and on migrants themselves. Select countries and regions are examined in detail to highlight overarching trends and regional differences.
This report traces the evolution of the link between international study and skilled migration, outlines policy methods that OECD countries are using to recruit and retain international students, identifies policy challenges through a close examination of existing policies and trends, and predicts how the economic recession will affect future international student flows.
A look at Mexico's slowing population growth, which, coupled with economic developments and changes in U.S. immigration policy (including stricter border control), has resulted in a slight slowdown in Mexican immigration to the United States relative to the 1995 to 2000 period.

Aston Hall, Blakesley Hall and Soho House provide a choice of spectacular and elegant locations for your dream wedding.
13th June 2013
A new 'audio walk' inspired by some of the places that fired the imagination of The Hobbit author JRR Tolkien as a child will be launched on Sunday 16 June.
Local writers Charlotte Goodwin and Kate Chapman, working with the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, have created the audio walk around Birmingham Museums' Sarehole Mill and Moseley Bog, as part of the theatre's ongoing Neighbourhood REP project with local libraries and will be available to listen to for free.
With the story of an adventurous young boy at its heart, Light From The Shadows also features interviews with local people plus music by Derek Nisbet. It promises a magical audio experience and aims to open up visitors' imaginations as they explore Moseley Bog.
JRR Tolkien grew up near Sarehole Mill and Moseley Bog and many of the locations and characters in his books were drawn from the local area. The Mill and the Bog continues to provide inspiration and escape for the many people that visit it today as writer Kate Chapman explains:
"We were inspired by many things during the process of creating Light From The Shadows. We worked with a group of cubs from Kings Heath who saw Moseley Bog as a place to build dens and invent stories. Other people we spoke to had been associated with the Bog for many years, fighting to save it and preserve it. There was a sense of timelessness, grandparents describing how their grandchildren played the same games in the Bog, they had done; it's as inevitable as the seasons changing, or people falling in love.
"We decided that we didn't want to make it an audio walk that was wholly 'about Tolkien' but we did incorporate some of his life experiences and some aspects of his relationship with his wife Edith, which is a beautiful love story. We hope people will see themselves and their own families in the audio journey."
At the launch day of the audio walks on June 16 there will also be a programme of fun activities for all ages throughout the day. Visitors will be able to go bug hunting with experts from The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country, create a magic wand, build a den, and investigate the pond wildlife. There will also be the opportunity to sample a writing workshop and see free performances specially created for the day.
Light From the Shadows is a Birmingham Repertory Theatre Neighbourhood REP project in collaboration with Hall Green Library, The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country, Sarehole Mill, and Cole Valley South District Scouts. Neighbourhood REP is part of a two-year project which has seen The REP join forces with Birmingham City Council's Library and Archive Services to bring theatre to the city's libraries.
Light From the Shadows free fun day takes place at Sarehole Mill and Moseley Bog on Sunday 16 June, 11am – 4pm. MP3 players will be available to borrow from the audio walk's starting point, Sarehole Mill, on the day. To book a slot on the audio walk visit birmingham-rep.co.uk or call 0121 236 4455. Walks take place every half hour and sensible footwear is advised.
Sarehole Mill will also be open to visitors wanting to look inside one of only two working watermills in Birmingham (admission charges apply for Mill, grounds and courtyard are free).
Following the launch day Light From The Shadows audio walk can still be enjoyed by either borrowing an MP3 player from Sarehole Mill, Colebank Road, Birmingham B13 0BD (open Tues – Sun 12noon – 4pm, closed Monday, apart from Bank Holidays) or by downloading the audio guide from birmingham-rep.co.uk/lightfromtheshadows.

Was the tragic loss of a ferry carrying illegal immigrants an accident or murder?
- ROVs dive on the remains--350 feet below the Mediterranean.
- Meet the reporter who exposed the story that authorities initially viewed with skepticism.
- John Chatterton investigates a modern mystery.
December 26, 1996. An unlicensed ferry attempting to smuggle 300 Indian, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan illegal immigrants to Italy disappears 19 miles off of Sicily. Only twenty-nine passengers survive. These shaken refugees tell a wild tale of being forced onto a rickety ferry by a drunken captain and colliding with a larger ship. With no wreckage found, the authorities derisively dismiss their account. But then fishermen begin to recover body parts in their nets...
DEATH IN THE MEDITERRANEAN speaks with the Italian journalist who broke open the remarkable story, and dives on the wreck of the ferry, surrounded by skeletons in 350 feet of water. As the story of the tragedy emerges, a troubling question comes into focus--was this an accident, or murder?

Heat rash — also known as prickly heat and miliaria — isn't just for babies. Though it's common in infants, heat rash can affect adults, too, especially during hot, humid weather.
Heat rash develops when your sweat ducts — commonly referred to as pores — become blocked and perspiration is trapped under your skin. Symptoms range from superficial blisters to deep, red lumps. Some forms of heat rash can be intensely itchy or cause a prickly feeling.
Heat rash usually goes away on its own. Severe forms of heat rash may need medical care, but the best way to relieve symptoms is to cool your skin and prevent sweating.
Adults usually develop heat rash in folds of skin and wherever clothing causes friction. In infants, the rash is mainly found on the neck, shoulders and chest, but it can also occur in the armpits, elbow creases and groin.
There are three types of miliaria, which are classified according to where the sweat ducts are blocked. Signs and symptoms for each type vary.
The mildest form of heat rash affects the sweat ducts in the topmost layer of skin. Miliaria crystallina is marked by:
The blisters that occur with miliaria crystallina aren't itchy or painful. This type of heat rash usually clears on its own but can come back if hot, humid weather persists. And though it's common in newborns, adults can develop it, too.
Occurring deeper in the outer layer of skin (epidermis), miliaria rubra is sometimes called prickly heat. Adults usually develop miliaria rubra after they're exposed to hot, humid weather or if they're confined to bed rest. Infants usually develop this type of heat rash between the first and third weeks of life. Signs and symptoms typically include:
Occasionally, miliaria rubra vesicles become pustular and then are called miliaria pustulosa.
A less common form of heat rash, miliaria profunda occurs mainly in adults who have had repeat bouts of miliaria rubra. It affects the dermis, a deeper layer of skin, and appears soon after exercise or any activity that causes sweating. Signs and symptoms may include:
Heat rash usually heals on its own and doesn't require medical care. See your doctor if you or your child has symptoms that last longer than a few days, the rash seems to be getting worse, or there are signs of infection, such as:
Heat rash develops when some of your sweat ducts become clogged. Instead of evaporating, perspiration remains trapped beneath the skin, causing inflammation and rash.
It's not always clear why the sweat ducts become blocked, but certain factors seem to play a role, including:
Heat rash can also occur in people who are confined to a hospital bed for long periods, especially if they have a fever.
Factors that make you more prone to heat rash include:
Heat rash usually heals without problems, but complications sometimes occur, such as:
A doctor's appointment usually isn't necessary for heat rash, because the rash generally clears up on its own. If your rash is more severe, you may want to see your primary care doctor or a doctor who specializes in skin disorders (dermatologist) to be sure it's heat rash and not another skin disorder.
Before you go, it's a good idea to write down any questions you might have so that you're sure to cover all of the points that are important to you. For heat rash, some questions to ask your doctor include:
No tests are needed to diagnose heat rash; your doctor can determine the problem with a visual exam.
The best treatment for any form of heat rash is to reduce sweating by staying in air-conditioned buildings or, when that's not possible, using fans to circulate the air, wearing lightweight clothing made of fabrics that "breathe" and limiting physical activity. Once skin is cool, heat rash tends to clear quickly.
Mild heat rash doesn't require any other treatment.
More-severe forms of heat rash may require topical therapies to relieve discomfort and prevent complications. Topical treatments may include:

Aden + Anais Jungle Jam - Elephant Sleeping Bag
Size: sizesize
Quantity: 1
Designed to be worn over baby's pajamas, ensuring a safe night's sleep by eliminating loose crib blankets. Lightweight sleeping bags are perfect for keeping baby at the right temperature, as muslin's light, open weave allows a baby's body temperature to regulate itself naturally helping to reduce the risk of overheating.
Why it's a giggle pick These sleeping bags ensure a safe night's sleep while keeping your baby at the right temperature -- perfect for warmer weather!See Full Details
Meets the following giggle Criteria:
BEST BASICS: everyday baby essentials
HEALTHY: made with safe or organic materials
RESPONSIBLE: eco-friendly or locally produced
the giggle criteria: We've narrowed down the choices by picking only the best products out there. In other words: if we sell it, we love it, and we think you will, too! Each year, we talk to tons of parents to find out what's most important to them when it comes to baby and kids products. The result? Every product we offer goes through a rigorous selection process and must meet at least three of the following criteria to be included in our assortment:
MaterialPre-washed 100% cotton muslin
Dimensions--Length = 28.5" (S) 31.7" (M) 34.8" (L) --Chest width = 12.6" (S) 14.2" (M) 15.7" (L) --Bottom width = 20.3" (L) 22.6" (M) 25" (L)
Weight--sm - 5 lbs.--med - 6 lbs. --lg - 7 lbs.
--Newborn - 6 Months (Sm)
-- 6 - 12 Months (Med)
--12 - 18 Months (Lg)
Rated 3 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ewells Perfect for warm nights We love using this sleep sack when it's just cool enough that the baby could use an extra layer but warm enough that we don't want the baby to overheat in a thicker sleep sack. June 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 Not Practical I know these sleep bags are reccommended, but I found it horrible to use. If my child tried to roll over in the middle of the night, the sleep bag got al twisted and didn't allow her to move freely. I tried using this when my daughter was about 11 months old. Bad idea for an older infant. Even as a newer baby, she would scoot herself down and the neck opening would cover her mouth and nose. Not a geat idea for a new baby either. Long sleeve onseys or once piece jumpsuits work much better. December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by CoolMom Perfect for after the swaddle This is the perfect answer to after-the-swaddle. My baby slept is the sleepsack every night. We alternated between the Aden & Anais and the giggle organic basics sack. The sleep sacks are perfect before your baby can stand in the crib. These are lightweight, so dress baby warmly underneath if it's a cold night. I had no problem with washing them -- and I washed them often, as I only had 2 sleepsacks. March 29, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Maman1013 bummer... i adored the aden & anais swaddle blankets so when baby started to suck his thumb i purchased this sleep sack. after one washing i noticed that there was a huge hole where the material met the binding. i also found that the material is super thin. i returned the sleep sack and won't be purchasing another. March 22, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Leeaann Great quality but huge. I love this brand of swaddle blankets, but the sleep sacks are simply too big for my babies. I have a 12 lb 4 month old and even the smallest size is way too big. By the time she's able to wear them, they won't be practical any more - she'll be tossing and turning. For bigger babies only! March 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by wickerparkmom perfect for spring! love this as a transition sleep sack from winter to summer. but the fabric snags easily and it doesn't look like it will last long. March 18, 2012

(2 Questions : 2 Answers)
See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
I am trying to decide between this sleeping bag (in size small) versus the "giggle Better Basics HALO SleepSack Swaddle" (in the newborn size). Could you please tell me about any significant differences/pros/cons of each? My baby will be a summer baby, due in July, if that makes a difference.
Thank you very much.
A:SleepSacks are bedding essentials during baby's 1st year in the crib – you'll want a few on hand for easy wash-and-wear, climate/temperature changes and some larger sizes, too, so you're not caught short when baby has an overnight growth spurt! Additional considerations include whether you intend to dress baby only in organic fabrics vs. conventional cotton vs. a combination of the two; and how warm or cool you keep your home during the summer.
Here are some additional details to help you make a choice that works best for you and your lifestyle:
Choose giggle's Better Basics Halo SleepSack Swaddle for an organic cotton option with a built-in, removable swaddle. Made from 100% certified organic cotton, this SleepSack earns our "Healthy" criteria; and the Velcro swaddle hugs your baby to prevent the startle reflex, allowing baby to sleep more soundly, and takes the guesswork out of middle-of-the-night swaddling.
Choose 100% conventional cotton muslin Aden + Anais' Sleeping Bags for a lightest weight option. These sleeping bags are perfect for keeping baby at the right temperature, as muslin's light, open weave allows a baby's body temperature to regulate itself naturally helping to reduce the risk of overheating.
Both SleepSacks are part of giggle's best-of, edited assortment, and we're available to help you choose which one is perfect for you and your lifestyle!

"Handsome and useful editions with impressive quality of production, concise and informative introductions, with elegant and clear presentation."
Artaria Editions was founded in 1995 to bring the music of the Viennese eighteenth century back to life. The beautiful and fascinating repertoire from the age of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven enlarges our concept of the period and performers will welcome these new ideas from the Classical era that will appeal to audiences looking for something new but familiar.
Artaria's publications are changing fundamental perceptions about music of the late eighteenth century, particularly due to our work with Naxos, the world's leading classical music label. For the first time in centuries, it is possible to read the score and hear the music that influenced the greatest composers of the era. From being relegated to the footnotes of music history, music by composers such as Beck, Dussek, Hofmann, and Wanhal is now returning to the air. Performances of Artaria editions increase yearly.
Leading Classical scholars have prepared practical editions of the most important works of the era and you can purchase scores, parts, and recordings from this website.
***New recording***
We are happy to announce a release of a Beck symphonies album. The album included the first three symphonies of Op.4, and the symphony in D Major Op.3, No.6. Physical copies of the album can be purchased from our website. Digital download is also available from Classics Online.
The 4th volume of Beck Symphonies will also become available in December 2014.
***New recording coming up***
The first volume of Flute Concerto Nos. 1-4 from François Devienne will be available in November 2014. François Devienne was the founder of the French flute school and is one of the most important composers of wind music in the second half of 18th century. The works in this album are performed by internationally acclaimed flutist and conductor Patrick Gallois with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra.
The key release kit for this recording can be downloaded here.
Selected New Publications
Shield, William (1748-1829)
Edited by Robert Hoskins, orchestrated by David Vine
When news of the violent death of Captain James Cook finally reached England in January 1780 it created a sensation. Cook's earlier voyages of discovery had stimulated a huge interest in the exotic world of the Pacific, and Mai, the young Ra'iatean who arrived in London in 1774 with Tobias Furneaux, became one of the most celebrated figures in London during the two years he spent there. At Christmas 1785, several years after Mai's return to the Society islands and Cook's death in Hawaii, Covent Garden staged a new pantomime entertainment entitled Omai, or, A Trip Round the World. By celebrating Mai in mimed action and song, this work fed the public fascination with the primitive past – its rituals, artifacts and crafts – while managing to portray the death of Cook with a theatrical sense of symbolism. William Shield's score was remarkable for including Polynesian instruments which had been brought back to England by Lieutenant James Burney, one of Furneaux's officers and the son of the distinguished music historian Dr Charles Burney. Although the original orchestral parts have not survived, Robert Hoskins and David Vine have cleverly reconstructed the core of the work from the vocal score along with the closing apotheosis of Captain Cook. The edition is prefaced by a fascinating introduction to the work by Robert Hoskins, the leading authority on William Shield.
Ries, Ferdinand (1784-1838)
Edited by Allan Badley
US$120.00 (Performing material available for hire)
The fourteen works for piano and orchestra of Ferdinand Ries stand alongside those of Hummel as the most important of their kind from the early decades of the 19th Century. Intensely lyrical and yet displaying at times a rugged Beethovenian grandeur, Ries's concertos are works of impressive musical stature. In the Introduction et Rondeau brilliant, Op.144 Ries demonstrates yet again his ability to write attractive, entertaining works that are as sophisticated in their musical structures as his finest concertos. The work is also available in study editions for two pianos.
Artaria Editions is very pleased to announce the publication of its 2014 catalogue.You can download a copy of our latest version of the catalogue in PDF format by clicking here
New and important additions have been made to a number of series, most notably those devoted to sacred music and chamber music. Artaria has also extended its musical frontiers into the early 19th century with the publication of two magnificent piano concertos by Ferdinand Ries, the first works in a projected edition of the complete works for piano and orchestra. The final two works - The concerto in E-flat, Op.177 and the Introduction et Rondeau brillant, Op.144 will be published by the second quartet of the year. These works will also be available in Study Editions for piano duet.
*** Catalogue 2015 will be available soon. Stay tuned!
Artaria has also published a series of segment catalogues. You may download a copy via the links below:
Digital Downloads Now Available
Artaria Editions website has an exciting new feature - Full Score for all of our titles are available in PDF format at 25% price reduction of the hard copy price. Parts for Chamber Music items are also available for instant download.
Conductor Michael Halasz will record nine of the overtures by Dominico Cimarosa with Pardubice Chamber Philharmonic the last week of October 2014. The material for these nine overtures is prepared by Cimarosa scholar Simone Perugini, who also edited the Cimarosa opera L'Impresario in Angustie for Artaria Editions. The sheet music for these overtures will be available at a later time and will be an invaluable addition to the 30 Cimarosa overtures that are already in our catalogue.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - A tattoo shop and a fine-art gallery? It takes creativity and strength to think outside the box. And to celebrate "CLOUT: A Spring Show" in all its glory, the Raw Canvas Custom Tattoo Studio and Art Gallery will kick off an all-new art exhibit with an opening tonight (Friday, March 1). The party will run from 6:30-10 p.m. at 507 Main St.
"Don't be afraid!" Raw Canvas gallery manager and fine artist Wendy Gill said. "Sometimes people are intimidated by tattoo shops and they don't come in to see the art because of that."
"The talent (on display) is amazing," she added.
Musical guest, Miss Emily, will also perform. Plus, food from Bin707 Foodbar and wine from Grande River Vineyards will be provided.
"This show's theme is clout, and we left it up to the artists to interpret what that means," Gill said. "It's a twist on strength, respect and even money. There's a million interpretations of that word."
According to Gill, CLOUT art will span a variety of applications, too - from prints, sculpture and photography to jewelry, collage and paintings.
"There's even glass etching," she said.
If you can't make the art opening, pieces from CLOUT will be on display through April 24.
"We will change out our work the night of the 24th for our show in May," contributing local artist Kelly Robison said.
The Raw Canvas art gallery is managed as a co-op, and all artists are local. Art, along with prints, will be for sale. Artist openings at the Raw Canvas are always held in conjunction with Grand Junction's ever-popular First Friday Art Walk.
