I was diagnosed with eczema of the nipple by a dermatologist. I was given a steriod cream and was told to quit breastfeeding. Is weaning really necessary?Question:
Debbi Donovan
Debbi Donovan is a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, as well as a retired La Leche League Leader. For more than a decade, Debbi... Read more
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is sometimes the cause of sore nipples. The nipple and/or areola may be red in color with burning, itching and scaling (here may also be oozing and crusting). This condition can be very painful. Nursing mothers who develop eczema on their nipples may also be prone to eczema on other areas of the body.
It should not be necessary to wean your baby from your breast because you have nipple eczema. If your perscription is a low-potency steroid cream (such as hydrocortisone) and the eczema is mild, then it should clear rather quickly. If you're using a higher-potency steriod cream (such as Diprosone) it should be used for no more than 10 days at a time.
To apply, allow your nipples to air dry following a feed. Smooth on a thin coat of ointment or cream. Because it will be well absorbed, it is not necessary to rinse the ointment/cream off if the next feed is more than two hours after application. (If you do rinse your nipples prior to nursing, do so gently and do not use soap which might be irritating.)
While it is important to minimize the amount of steroid cream your baby might ingest, topical steroids are safe for short-term treatment--careful use of steroid preparations for 10 days should not present a danger to your baby. A mild steroid like hydrocortisone may be applied if symptoms return.
If your symptoms do not resolve with this treatment it is important to be reevaluated to rule out any underlying medical condition.Answer:

Heritage Open mHealth Challenge: Searching for a Sum Greater Than Its Parts
Mar 4, 2013, 3:14 PM, Posted by Christine Nieves
"Smart" phones are rapidly becoming ubiquitous; almost half of all American adults own one. Every one of those phones has the potential to be a health companion for its owner, providing reminders about pills to take or tips about healthier foods to eat. Phones can also collect valuable health data—such as the quality of the air we breathe or the number of steps we walk. For people with a chronic disease such as diabetes, a smart phone can track the kinds of meals that spike their blood sugar or the side effects of their medications; it can even relay that information back to a doctor, who can then help patients better manage their health.
To date, the major tool for harnessing the power of mobile technology has been the app. Just like there are apps for weather, news, or restaurant reviews, there are apps for health. They can do amazing things, from measuring and monitoring, to imaging and predicting. But, there aren't just a handful of them—there are thousands! And, that's where the Heritage Open mHealth Challenge comes in.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

It's that time again... blah.
Here's a quick update on last year's resolutions:
Writing a post a month for The Pastry Box Project - done! I was late on quite a few posts (eek! sorry.) but I managed to get all 12 done. You can read them all here.
Fixing up my open source projects - nope. Sadly, I didn't do very much open source work this year :(
Running 1000 miles this year and 100 miles a month - done! I also hired a running coach (Angela Tieri) and ran my first marathon in Honolulu (Dec 8), both of which really helped me stay motivated.
Here's the breakdown:
January - 103 mi
February - 100 mi
March - 131 mi
April - 118 mi
May - 103 mi
June - 113 mi
July - 129 mi
August - 113 mi
September - 133 mi
October - 143 mi
November - 155 mi
December - 102 mi (so far... I might run more before the end of the month)
Total: 1443 miles
As for next year, I think I only have one resolution. I'd like to keep running and I'd love to run more races. I'm going to try to run at least one race a month (any distance!). I have the first few months already lined up.
January - Commitment Day 5k
February - Kaiser Permanente 5k (ran this one last year too)
March - The Color Run 5k (all fun, no work, yay)
April - Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon
Come join me if you like!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Super cute, right? It's not a totally original idea (here's a bike route one) but it was really fun to make.
I've been running a lot lately and using the Nike+ Running iPhone app to track and map my runs. I've also been posting some of my longer or more interesting runs on Path.
Here's how I planned the route - It was really easy to sketch out the map. I just took a screenshot of downtown San Francisco in Google maps and drew right on top of the image using Acorn. Then I used Runningmap.com to plot out the exact streets and check on the elevation (I wanted to avoid all those SF hills!). Finally, I added some labels in Skitch and printed it out for the run.
Note that I didn't run this exact route... I missed a turn and made a few minor adjustments in the middle of my run. :P
After I finished the run this morning, I posted it to Path, Twitter, and Facebook.
Here's my Runningmap.com route if you'd like to try to run it yourself!
I have a confession. I really like Snapchat.
To write it off as just a sexting app is to underestimate the power of its simplicity. I've been sending snaps to friends for a couple weeks and there's something very liberating about taking a quick photo. It can be a crappy photo. It can be silly. I don't need to spend 15 minutes setting up the perfect shot or scrolling though filter options.
Snapchat is just a simple way to communicate with someone else. On the communication spectrum from lightest (texting?) to heaviest (email?) it's probably even lighter than texting. Crazy.
I love that there's no comments. As far as I can tell, the only way to reply is to send another snapchat. I usually just post whatever I happen to be doing at the moment. It's like Twitter without having to bother to actually write anything. Here's me! Eating a sandwich!
Maybe Snapchat is just a fad. However, I think it's indicative of people's desire to share and communicate as quickly and easily as possible. It's definitely worth noting.
P.S. Right now I'm also really into what I call "passive sharing" - not taking much action at all to share what you're currently doing. I think Apple's Find Friends app is the perfect example. I'm also totally fascinated with the Path's Nike+ integration. Posting that I'm out for a run is super easy and when one of my friends "likes" that I'm running I hear cheering in my headphones. It's such a simple interaction with a huge emotional impact.
I have a few resolutions for 2013:
I'll be writing for the Pastry Box Project once a month all year long. The Pastry Box Project selects a group of 30 people who are influential in their field and has them each write one post a month for a full year. Here's my first post from today, Thursday 10 January. You should really follow the whole blog - there's some really great posts!
My second goal is to fix up my open source projects. I'm pretty good at occasionally releasing code as open source but I'd like to be better at maintaining it.
Finally, I'd like to run 1000 miles this year (inspired by @dens). I have the short term goal to run 100 miles a month. This would really be 1200 miles for the year but I figure it doesn't hurt to have some wiggle room.
Happy 2013 everyone!
For my latest product, Grove, I wanted to allow users to quickly log in or sign up with an existing account, such as Twitter or Facebook.
A while back I collected some data to determine how many people were using Facebook, Twitter, and OpenID to log in to TypePad. It was fairly obvious to me that people liked logging in using existing accounts.
My new product, Grove, provides hosted IRC servers for teams. Since IRC appeals mainly to developers, I thought it would be great to allow people to sign up and login with GitHub.
So our team created both GitHub and Twitter log in buttons.
With TypePad, the most popular service for logging in was Facebook. However, I purposely didn't add a Facebook log in button because I felt that our target audience (developers) wouldn't be as likely to use it. In fact, they might actually find a Facebook button a turn-off.
Our team isn't collecting much data yet, but we do know how many accounts total are connected via GitHub or Twitter.
Users who have connected their account:
Twitter: 13.96 %
GitHub: 20.41 %
Wow. This means that 1 in 5 users have probably logged in with GitHub while only 1 in 7 have logged in with Twitter.
I guess I don't need to add that Facebook button any time soon.
On the last possible day to write about my 2011 New Year's resolution, here it is:
Live in the cloud.
The term "cloud" has most often been used in the context of enterprise computing, but there are lots of cloud services for your personal life as well.
In 2011 I attempted to get rid of as many physical things as I could. I took some risks and purposefully sought out new services I could use to further my cloud lifestyle. Here's a rundown of all the cloud services I used to replace all the "stuff" in my life.
I started off the year by moving all my personal files to Dropbox. I purchased some extra space on Dropbox and was able to toss out my old backup drive. At first I was wary of putting all my personal files on someone else's machine(s) but I've had an excellent experience so far. It's super convenient not to have to manage my own backups anymore and I don't even have to worry about actually backing up my computer.
For music, I began listening to Rdio this year. Around the time I switched to Dropbox, I realized that it didn't really make sense to own my own mp3s when I could just stream anything I wanted to listen to at any time. I haven't owned any physical albums in years, but now I don't even own any digital albums. Yay. Spotify is also a good option for streaming music. However, I started using Rdio before Spotify was available in the US and I still like Rdio better (my friends are on Rdio, nicer design, better community).
I also finally got rid of most of my books this year. It was difficult parting with my books. However, I've been reading new books on Kindle anyway, so it didn't really make sense for me to have a bunch of physical books taking up space in my tiny apartment.
I won't talk much about my TV and movie setup because although it's totally awesome, it's not very legal. I do rent a lot of movies on iTunes and watch TV shows on Hulu and ABC, but the selection just isn't there yet.
Last October I got rid of my car - I donated my beloved 1991 Jetta to charity. In exchange I picked up a Clipper card for public transit, a Public bike for my daily commute, and Zipcar for the times I just had to have a car (not really that many). I realize that this is mostly possible because I live in San Francisco, a city with nice weather for biking and walking and not great for driving a car anyway.
In addition to biking and walking, I enjoy taking a nice Ubercab when I go out and the Ubercab iPhone app has an amazing view where you can watch the cab as it travels to your location. Ubercab can be a bit expensive though, so sometimes I'll settle for using TaxiMagic or Cabulous to virtually hail a cab.
For the past few years, I've used a housekeeping service to clean my apartment every couple of weeks. I hate cleaning. When compared with my hourly rate for programming work, it's a great deal to have someone else clean my apartment.
Just this past year I started looking for other ways to move my household chores to the "cloud".
Grocery delivery by Safeway has been a huge timesaver for me. I'll buy my groceries online and have them delivered on the weekend.
I only recently heard of TaskRabbit which helps connect you to people who will do your chores for you. I'm excited to try them out as soon as I can come up with a suitable task (building furniture?).
2011 was a great year to book travel in the cloud. Hipmunk made booking my flights much faster and better with their awesome Agony rating (you can see which flights cause you the least agony!).
I booked my trip to SXSW this year super late and no hotels were available. However, I was able to find a great place via Airbnb and I ended up staying at an apartment close to all the action. I also used Airbnb to book an apartment for a 3-week stay in Amsterdam. I don't think there's anything closer to living like a local!
Right now I'm in NYC for New Year's. I left booking a hotel until the last minute (oops.) but was able to find an affordable room near Times Square using the Hotel Tonight iPhone app.
Going out and staying in
The best cloud service I discovered this year was Rent the Runway. On Rent the Runway you can rent designer dresses (as well as acessories) at an affordable rate and return them a few days later. I rented a $385 dress for Valentine's Day for only $25! I also rented a dress for attending a summer wedding. I loved being able to wear a different designer dress for each event.
I've started using Foursquare and the Yelp iPhone app to discover new restaurants. It's great to find places that my friends like on Foursquare and I love trying Hot New Businesses on Yelp. I've been making almost all my restaurant reservations on OpenTable. I even reserved a table for Thanksgiving dinner on OpenTable.
For the nights I want to stay in, I now order food online using GrubHub. A bunch of my favorite restaurants are available for delivery on GrubHub and the website copy is by far the funniest (Groupon and Yelp are runners up).
Living in the cloud this past year has been an amazing experience. My apartment has gotten less cluttered as I've gotted rid of all the extra stuff. I've also had an amazing experience discovering new places and saving lots of time.
Are there any other great personal cloud services that I've missed? Anything I just have to try in 2012?
I've got a new company and a new product, Convore. Convore is the somewhat indirect result of my thinking on group chat for the past few years.
About two years ago I was using IRC almost every day to communicate at work and with friends. For the 2009 Django Dash, I helped design and build a web-based IRC client called Leafy Chat with Alex Gaynor and Chris Wanstrath. Soon after building the IRC-based Leafy Chat, it started to bother me that IRC was so complicated and nerdy. Even with the Leafy Chat web client, I kept mulling over how much the experience could be improved.
After building a few initial prototypes of non-IRC group chat apps, I got to talking with another Django developer, Eric Florenzano, about group collaboration. Eric was really interested in forums and the idea of topic-based conversations. We ended up combining the IRC-style group chat with the added topic structure of forums created a prototype, nicknamed Podium.
With our initial prototype we recruited a couple of our friends try it out. Within a month of testing we were sold on the concept. We recruited our third co-founder and designer, Eric Maguire, and were accepted to Y Combinator for their Winter 2011 session.
Just last Wednesday we launched Convore and the end of this story is that I think we've built something really cool and totally new and exciting.
Please try out Convore today and let me know what you think!
More about Convore:
Ever since Tweetie 2, the pull-to-refresh paradigm has been a hot feature for iPhone applications. The idea is that you can pull down on a list of items to refresh them. This saves you from needing some sort of "refresh" or "reload" button. Nice!
For the upcoming V2 of the Plancast iPhone app we really wanted to replace the current "reload" toolbar item with the pull-to-refresh style. However, the existing open source pull to refresh examples such as Three20's Pull to Reload and EGOTableViewPullRefresh are a little too complicated for my taste. Heck - this should only require one file!
So here it is... a very simple pull-to-refresh:
All you need to do is add the .h and .m files to your project and subclass them. I've added a bit of a hack to make pull-to-refresh work with tables that have multiple sections (like Plancast).
There's even a built-in demo so you can try it out right away.
Lately I've been working part-time on StyleSeat, the website for hair stylists and their clients. I've been helping with some Django development and am really excited about the product.
The basic idea is that as a stylist, personal trainer, massage therapist, esthetician etc. you can use StyleSeat as your personal homepage. You can list your services and prices as well as show off photos of your work. For Pro users, StyleSeat provides an appointment calendar and helps you keep in touch with your current clients while also generating new business.
For those of us who aren't stylists but are looking for a good haircut, StyleSeat has recently added an online booking feature (currently in beta). I'm pretty lazy and love the idea of finding and booking hair appointments online!
Up until now StyleSeat has been a bit stealthy... but now that the site is up and running smoothy they're open for business! Check it out: http://styleseat.com/
I'm three weeks into developing my first iPhone application, for Plancast. It's been crazy and fun to try to learn something new so quickly! In case you are thinking of getting started with iPhone development, here's how I got started...
First I picked up a copy of the book, iPhone SDK Application Development, by Jonathan Zdziarski. I pretty much picked it up randomly - I made a last-minute stop at borders to get a book on iPhone development to read on a flight. Zdziarski's book looked good and was the skinniest one I could find. Turns out that for such terse text, it gets the job done. More impressive is that half the text are tutorials and I love (love love love) tutorials. My first day of iPhone development was spent typing out these tutorials and running them in the simulator.
Next, for general good iPhone stuff, I tried out Facebook's Three20 project. It's a bit skimpy on documentation but there's some great UI stuff in there. It's actually a whole framework but so far I'm only using a tiny part of the library for the Plancast app (tabs and loading spinners).
For connecting to the web, I'm using ASIHTTPRequest which is fantastic. It has a lovely page of documentation and handles most use-cases for making requests including authorization and asynchronous requests.
Early on my app was running very slowly because it was loading lots of images from the web. I complained of this issue to Cathy from Chomp and she pointed me to this blog post on loading images in the background. The Three20 library also has this functionality.
Overall I've really enjoyed iPhone development so far. After working on web apps for so long it's nice to have a different set of pain points. Memory management in Objective-C isn't nearly as terrifying as I thought it would be but it is very frustrating to see the non-descriptive EXEC BAD ACCESS. I always make a ton of mistakes when trying out new things. Luckily, I'm good at debugging!

UD National Attention Could Boost Admissions
DAYTON -- It's not a bad day when your team makes the front page of three newspapers, two of them national.
The Dayton Flyers landed on the cover of The Wall Street Journal and USA Today Weekend.
The media coverage outside of Dayton continues to grow and the university's Office of Admission says it could help boost recruitment.
"What we know of as Flyer Pride, now the entire nation gets to experience, we have seen the excitement spread across the country, in fact globally also," says Sundar Kumarasamy, Vice President of Enrollment Management & Marketing
The day of the game Kumarasamy was measuring the number of impressions UD was getting on social media and after the win, 10 million impressions crashed the system.
"Three percent of the impressions came from outside the United States including France, UK and Canada," says Kumarasamy.
That global reach is enough for the university to expect a bump in admissions for next year and many students agree.
"People are now understanding who we are and even just the fact that we beat Ohio State, people see Ohio State's name and then they see us as the team who beat them, hopefully it will bring more spotlight to us," says UD Junior Amanda Mazzurco.
"We're on the up and up, we have a good coach and we just beat Ohio State so I think it'll be good for admissions," says UD Senior Tommy Popaliski.
Even prospective students think it could have a positive impact. Fairmont High School Junior Megan Good was touring UD Friday afternoon with her mom, it was her first college visit and she says basketball can be a bonding experience for students.
"It would defeinitely help influence certain people because it just like, it's always fun to root for a team that wins rather than like rooting for someone who never wins, so I think that helps," says Good.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These cards are so pretty. They are perfect for our garden wedding. We will be very proud to send them to thank our family and friends after our wedding!"
"The simple rustic charm of this design captured our low-key wedding approach perfectly! (We ordered the invitations as well as the thank you cards). From layout of the cards to delivery, Wedding Paper Divas made the process really easy! Not only that, but the cards are great quality and the price is very reasonable. And delivery was so fast! We got the cards about a week earlier than the noted delivery date."
"Since it is simple with our names we can use them as our thank you cards and many other things! I look forward to ordering more in the future!"
"I bought these to match my invitations even though I won't be needing them for quite some time but I just loved the print so much! I also removed the "Thank You" line and replaced it with our first names, so we can use any extras we have as an everyday-note!"
"The color and design were absolutely perfect for us. I'm an an artsy person, so the whimsical/watercolor like print was beautiful. We are getting married on the beach at Lake Michigan, so not only would this work up North, its perfect nod to our Florida roots!"

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The Knox Co. Sheriff's Office is searching for three men involved in a shooting that wounded a 66 year-old man who was visiting his brother at the time.
According to the sheriff's office, Eddie Moore dropped by his brother's house on Edington Rd. and was there around 10:00 p.m. when the three suspects forced their way in.
The men, who were wearing masks, demanded money and attacked Burnett before shooting him. They then took off in a car with white Cadillac rims.
Moore was taken to UT Medical Center. His condition is currently unknown. His brother, Larry Moore, was not hurt.
Anyone with information about the attack is asked to call the Knox Co. Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit at (865) 215-2243.

Technical Building, Room 101
Publication Dates
Every two weeks during the academic year: fall, winter, and spring quarters.
Michael Prince
firstname.lastname@example.com Ad Manager ContactGeoff email@example.com
The Olympian , Olympic College's student newspaper, is published every two weeks during the school year (excluding summer). The paper is written and produced by student journalists who are enrolled in journalism writing, design, and editing classes. Students uphold the highest standards of journalistic practices and ethics while they sharpen their skills and fulfill the paper's mission: to be the Olympic College community newspaper.
Over the past six years, the paper and its staff have won awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, the Western Washington Press Association, and the American Collegiate Press Association.
Submissions The Olympian accepts letters to the editor of no more than 300 words. Letters should be typed or neatly written. A name, telephone number, and signature should accompany the letter (for verification purposes). Letters may be edited for libel, space, clarity, length, or excessive obscenity.
Notices for publication, news releases, and letters to the editor may be dropped off at The Olympian offices, TEC 101, or deposited in The Olympian's mail drawer located near the Quick Copy Center in the Facility Services Building. A two-week lead time is suggested.
Advertising Those who wish to buy advertising space in The Olympian should contact the newspaper Ad Manager at firstname.lastname@example.com or 360-475-7690. Prospective advertisers may submit camera-ready copy or request ad design services. A two-week lead time is suggested.
Ad Rates
Quotes are available for "insert" advertising. Discounts are available to advertisers who contract for five consecutive issues.
Positions may be available. Earn while you learn: Co-op, Scholarships, & Work-studyThere are many opportunities for participating as a member of the staff of The Olympian. Newcomers to newspaper journalism are always welcome. Among positions:
Reporters Reporters are the nuts and bolts of our operation: we could not exist without them. Students who enjoy writing are encouraged to consider reporting and writing for The Olympian. Among the paper's "beats" (areas of coverage) are: student government, board of trustees, news, features, arts and entertainment, and sports.
Photographers Without pictures, the newspaper would be a dull read, indeed. We always are interested in adding people to the staff who see view the world through the viewfinder of a camera. Photographers learn traditional darkroom techniques. In addition, we recently purchased a digital camera for staff photographers' use.
Designers A visually appealing newspaper is a newspaper that is well read. Students who enjoy layout, drawing, graphic design, and/or computer design are in great demand at The Olympian. If you have never created on the computer, never fear: computer design can be learned and we can teach you.
Editorial Cartoonists If you have a flair for cartooning and a sharp wit, think about sharing your thoughts on the editorial pages of The Olympian. Make us laugh, make us cry, make us think.
Copy Editors If you like to cross every "T" and dot every "I," then we have the place for you. Copy editors are reporters best friends: they read for errors in punctuation, style, and grammar; they find "holes" that keep a story from being the best it can be; and they save us from making embarrassing mistakes.
Editors The Olympian distributes its positions of leadership to four main areas: Editor, Editorial Director, Photo Editor and Design Editor. The Editor oversees the work of reporters and copy editors. The Photo Editor works with photographers and the Design Editor coaches students working in the graphic design and layout arenas. The Editorial Director is in charge of all columns and letters that appear on the Opinion pages of the newspaper.
Advisor Students who are interested in joining The Olympian are encouraged to contact the Olympian editor at email@example.com, or call the Olympian at 360-475-7690.

I was glad to see Monet go. She was NOT kind ever. What a egotistical evil girl. Really. Every answer she had was violent. She kept calling Rachel a stripper and Britney would say every time 'she is a chemist, Monet' with a bored voice. LOL. Oh, and Britney's farewell snippet was hilarious. Something about figuring other uses for Rachel's extensions.

Byon August 16, 2012
Olivia Munn's career has had no shortage of surprise. The actress who started not-so-fortuitously with roles as "Girl No. 1" and "Asian Mob Girl," then progressed to a gig as "geek sex symbol" on Attack of the Show and too many magazine covers, is now friends with Jon Stewart and a regular on Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom. And the strangest thing of all is that she's never seemed more likable.
Munn knows how to respond to criticism. She's taken the flak over her appointment to The Daily Show in stride and even relived it, in a way, on The Newsroom. Her role as Sloane is almost absurdly flattering, and as preposterous as anything on the show: She's an economics Ph.D who's fluent in Japanese and "doesn't get" men. But it's also clear why she's there as MacKenzie McHale tells her early on, she's got great legs. And Munn plays the character with a goofy and guileless charm that everyone else in the cast apparently lacks. The more she's on, the more you want her to stay there.
Also not modest but very funny: "Ghost Tits," the new fake trailer in which Munn's fictional boyfriend wakes up one day to find that her endowment has disappeared. It works both as a parody of the increasingly annoying it-never-happened movie trend (The Missing) and as a nod to Munn's image. "I've always been flat," she deadpans. "Why are you doing this to me?" If you're going to own up, this is the way to do it.

Line 101 - Employment income
Employment income can consist of amounts you receive as salary, wages, commissions, bonuses, tips, gratuities, and honoraria. Employment income is usually shown in box 14 of your T4 slips.
If you have not received your T4 slip by early April, or if you have any questions about an amount on a slip, contact your employer.
If you have employment expenses, see line 229 for more information.
If you received a housing allowance as a member of the clergy, the allowance might be shown in box 14 of your T4 slips. If so, subtract the amount of the allowance from the amount shown in box 14, and report the difference on line 101. Report the allowance on line 104.
If you have employment income from another country, report it on line 104.
You may be able to make CPP contributions on certain employment income for which no contribution was made (for example, tips not shown on a T4 slip) or additional contributions on T4 income if you had more than one employer in the year and the total CPP contributions on all T4 slips is less than the required amount. For more information, see "Do you want to contribute more ?".
If you are a resident of Quebec, you have to report all amounts from your federal slips (T4) on your federal return. Do not report the income from your Relevé slips.
If you report employment income on line 101, you can claim the Canada employment amount on line 363 of your Schedule 1.
Completing your tax return
Enter on line 101 the total of amounts shown in box 14 of all your T4 slips.

"If you don't like it here, move to Cuba!â€
"Why don't you go spout your mouth off in Iraq with your buddy Saddam, you terrorist!â€
Those were common emails for me to receive while George W. Bush was president. Opposing Bush policies like the Patriot Act, Real ID, and just about everything else back then didn't win too many conservative friends for the Tenth Amendment Center, of which I am executive director.
These days, taking a stand for the Constitution – every issue, every time, no exceptions, no excuses – doesn't win us too many friends from the left. When writing about our Nullify Now! event in Manchester on March 19th (http://www.nullifynow.com/newhampshire), a local "blue†blogger proclaimed:

EFI Introduces Solution for Enterprise Mobile PrintingNovember 2, 2011
Users don't have to download any software to their Apple, Android, Blackberry and other tablets and smartphones to print on any networked printer. IT departments can install PrintMe Mobile and deliver mobile printing on any printer connected to the network in as little as 20 minutes.
"The tablet phenomenon in the enterprise will only continue to gain momentum," said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, a Silicon Valley-based technology consulting firm. "As devices become a more widespread business tool, there will be a natural need to support printing. EFI is getting out ahead of this enterprise IT requirement with PrintMe Mobile."
Research shows that two-thirds of businesses are adopting tablets in 2011 and 65 percent of companies are adding five or more new mobile apps in 2011. This growth in smart device usage is also driving demand for the ability to print from mobile devices.
According to a February 2011 report from InfoTrends, 56 percent of CIOs are considering implementing a mobile print solution. Unfortunately, no true enterprise-class mobile print solution to date has addressed both the end-user and IT challenges for printing from mobile devices. Solutions have been costly or complex to implement and manage, and printouts do not always look the way a user expects them to look.
EFI PrintMe Mobile shields end users from the technological complexity of mobile printing and lets them solely experience the benefits. This simplicity and flexibility eliminates end-user frustration, and improves user efficiency and productivity in the workplace. Users are not required to leave the application in which they are working in order to print. PrintMe Mobile uniquely enables all printers on an enterprise network to be capable of direct wireless printing from Apple iPads and iPhones.
The solution is printer- and device-agnostic, integrates seamlessly into a company's network infrastructure without impacting network security policies, and supports both new and legacy printing infrastructure. With high-fidelity file conversion, PrintMe Mobile preserves fonts and layouts so that printed documents look like they should.
"We've addressed the two largest barriers to adoption for mobile device printing in businesses today—ease of deployment and ease of use," said Toby Weiss, general manager of the Fiery business unit and senior vice president at EFI. "With PrintMe Mobile, IT departments can increase user productivity, reduce help desk headaches and achieve hero status with a growing number of mobile device users in businesses of any size. EFI is the only major mobile print provider that is exclusively focused on helping customers gain the maximum value out of their existing print infrastructure."
PrintMe Mobile enables users to print based on their work style with three flexible ways of printing from mobile devices, without installing printer drivers. Options for printing include:
• Direct to Print: enables Apple and Android devices to print directly to any existing printer on the network through the company's secure Wi-Fi network.
• Email to Print: allows users to print an email, including all attached files, by simply sending or forwarding an email.
• Release to Print: protects security and confidentiality by holding the print job until the user releases the file with a retrieval code. The user controls when and where the file is printed so personnel, financial or other sensitive documents don't sit in the printer tray unattended.
PrintMe Mobile is built on proven EFI technologies. EFI first introduced a direct-to-print feature for Apple iPad and iPhones on its Fiery Driven™ printers and multifunction peripherals (MFPs) from Canon, Konica Minolta, Kyocera Mita, Ricoh and Xerox. EFI PrintMe, a cloud-based printing service, launched 10 years ago and has thousands of installations worldwide with millions of pages printed.
Pricing and Availability
A full-featured version of EFI PrintMe Mobile software is available for download and free 90-day trial at www.efi.com/printmemobile. The estimated MSRP for PrintMe Mobile is USD $500 per printer for a one-time perpetual license for unlimited users and printouts. The first year of support and maintenance is included.
About EFI
EFI is a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation. EFI's award-winning solutions, integrated from creation to print, deliver increased performance, cost savings and productivity. The company's robust product portfolio includes Fiery digital print controllers and solutions; VUTEk superwide digital inkjet printers, UV and solvent inks; Rastek UV wide-format inkjet printers; Jetrion industrial inkjet printing systems; print production workflow and business process automation software; and enterprise printing solutions.

AMSTERDAM The operation began moments after the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam closed this week. Men removed alarm tags from behind some of Vincent Van Gogh's greatest masterpieces, including Sunflowers, Irises" and the famously crooked Bedroom, and quickly pulled the paintings down from the museum's walls.
Fortunately, they were not thieves carrying out an epic heist, but curators preparing the works for transport to a temporary location across town where they will be on display for the next seven months while the museum is closed for renovations.
In all, 75 pieces — the cream of the biggest collection of Vincent Van Gogh's work — are moving to The Hermitage, an Amsterdam dependency of the Russian state museum.
Standing near a blank space on the wall where Van Gogh's final work, the 1890 painting Wheatfield with Crows, had hung just minutes earlier, Curator Leo Jansen described in brief the treatment the paintings would undergo.
After being loaded onto felt-covered trolleys, they would be taken to a workshop to be wrapped in protective insulation and packed into hard-shell carrying cases called "turtles" that are resistant to both physical shocks and temperature changes.
The cases have been assigned code numbers rather than bearing the paintings' individual names.
About an hour later, the first shipment was loaded onto a yellow van and then driven away under police escort. The route each shipment followed was kept secret until the last moment.
The operation continued like clockwork through Sunday night and into the day Monday in order to get the paintings on display again as soon as possible: the Van Gogh Museum is Amsterdam's most popular, attracting 1.6 million visitors in 2011 — eclipsing both the Rembrandt-rich Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House museum.
The exhibit at The Hermitage opens Saturday and runs through mid-April, with the Van Gogh Museum to reopen on April 25, 2013.
New apps help when you don't speak the language
Travelling abroad on business but don't speak the language?
Not to worry. You can communicate in dozens of languages through digital translation software that you can upload to your smartphone, such as Google Translate. Or you can call a service that charges you by the minute to speak with an interpreter, such as Language Line Services.
A new entry into the market is Travel Team Inc., a travel management company in New York that has developed the Interpretravel app, which can be loaded onto iPhones and other mobile devices.
Users of the application can tap buttons on the screen to connect to interpreters — 20 languages are available — for $2.89 a minute.
But be warned: Launching the app and getting an interpreter on the phone can take up to a minute or two, so turn it on before you find yourself in a taxicab in Moscow, trying to get to your hotel.
Flight attendants' spat forces plane to turn around
MORRISVILLE, N.C. An airport official says a squabble between two flight attendants forced a United Airlines flight bound for Chicago to return to Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
Airport spokeswoman Mindy Hamlin says Flight 1214 left Raleigh at 6 a.m. Wednesday. She says a call from the pilot to the tower at 6:40 a.m. suggested there had been an assault on-board, but it turned out to be a tiff between flight attendants.
Raleigh-Durham police determined that no blows were exchanged and no one was arrested.
United spokeswoman Christen David says the two employees were removed and the flight restaffed. David said the Chicago-based airline is conducting an internal review and that the argument was not physical.
Some passengers were placed on other flights, and David said United would compensate passengers for their inconvenience.
Branson hints at major hotel for space travellers
TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, N.M. New Mexico Tourism Secretary Monique Jacobson says it will be New Mexico's Sydney Opera House. Virgin Galactic Chairman Richard Branson has hinted it will host the first of his new brand of lifestyle hotels. And the eclectic hot springs town of Truth or Consequences has been anxiously awaiting all the economic development the nearly quarter-of-a-billion-dollar project is supposed to bring to this largely rural part of southern New Mexico.
But as phase one of Spaceport America, the world's first commercial port built specifically for sending tourists and payloads into space, is nearing completion, the only new hotel project that has been finalized is a Holiday Inn Express here in Truth or Consequences, about 40 kilometres away. And three key companies with millions of dollars in payroll have passed on developing operations in the state.
The lagging development, along with competition from heavy hitters like Florida and Texas, is raising new questions about the viability of the $209 million taxpayer-funded project — as well as the rush by so many states to grab a piece of the commercial spaceport pie. To date, nine spaceports are planned around the United States, mostly at existing airports, and another 10 have been proposed, according to a recent report from the New Mexico Spaceport Authority.
"Right now, the industry is not there to support it," Alex Ignatiev, a University of Houston physics professor and adviser to space companies, said of the list of planned and proposed spaceports across America.
Currently, the Spaceport can count on two rocket companies that send vertical payloads into space and Virgin Galactic, the Branson space tourism venture that says it has signed up more than 500 wealthy adventurers for $200,000-per-person space flights. Other leaders in the race to commercialize the business and send tourists into space have been passing on New Mexico.
Locally, officials blame the lack of new businesses on the legislature's refusal to pass laws that would exempt spacecraft suppliers from liability for passengers should the spacecraft crash or blow up. When New Mexico was developing Spaceport in partnership with Virgin Galactic, it passed a law to exempt the carrier through 2018, but not parts suppliers.
Spaceport's success is tied largely to Virgin Galactic, which signed a 20-year lease to operate its commercial space tourism business from the site. Over the next two decades, the company's lease payments and user fees are expected to generate $250 million and more. But the terms of the lease or what penalties might be imposed if Branson pulls out are not publicly known. And the facility was planned with the idea that at least one new major tenant would move in by 2016.
Tourism and Spaceport officials have estimated as many as 200,000 people a year would visit the futuristic centre. Branson told a national hotel conference in 2011 that he might put one of his still to be developed Virgin hotels in the area. But there has been no further word on that hotel, or others that have been rumoured to cater to the space crowd.

New to this yearãs Wolseley Dam Days will be a free Fishing Derby
© Photo submitted
Joel Kempfer released one of 10 prize steelhead trout into Fairly Lake on Thursday afternoon in preparations for the Fishing Derby. Anglers will have the opportunity to hook the steelhead trout or rainbow trout during Dam Days, Aug. 3 to Aug. 5.
Wolseley Dam Days has reeled in a new event for 2012, featuring its first-ever Fishing Derby at Fairly Lake.
The Fishing Derby has been made possible through partnership forged between the Dam Days Committee, Main Street Wolseley and key community volunteers.
ãOne of Main Streetãs main objectives is to work with existing community organizations in their efforts,ã said Ed Attridge, coordinator of Main Street Wolseley. ãDam Days is a significant event in Wolseley and requested Main Streetãs assistance with the planning of daytime events.ã
ãWe want to promote Wolseley and elevate the awareness of our town,ã he continued. ãDam Days, being a long-time event, is a fundamental part in the promotion of Wolseley.ã
Wolseley Dam Days first began in 2005 as part of the provincial Centennial celebrations. Mayor Dennis Fjestad said the celebration continued into the following years because of the strong attendance and participation.
ãItãs been very, very successful,ã Fjestad said of the celebration. ãThe whole community really supports this event.ã
This yearãs most highly anticipated event is the three-day Fishing Derby held at Fairly Lake.
ãOur lake has been a significant feature of Wolseley for more than 100 years,ã said Fjestad. ãWe are very excited about our upcoming Fishing Derby during our Dam Days weekend. We hope that many people will come and enjoy all the events of the weekend and take in the fun of fishing.ã
Joel Kempfer, key coordinator and volunteer for the Fishing Derby, explained that Fairly Lake has been stocked with 1,000 rainbow trout and 10 prize steelhead trout. The rainbow trout were purchased from Clean Springs Trout Farm in Roblin, Manitoba, while the steelhead trout were graciously donated by Wild West Steelhead Hatchery on Lake Diefenbaker.
ãOur lake doesnãt support fish so a Saskatchewan biologist allowed us to put non-native fish in there for our Fishing Derby,ã said Kempfer. ãFrom what I
understand, weãll be able to do it every year because every winter the fish will die. Our lake just doesnãt support them.ã
The Fishing Derby is open to fishermen and women of all ages and is free of cost. The Derby is not catch and release, so anglers must keep all fish that are caught.
ãThereãs no limit so catch as many fish as you want to catch,ã said Kempfer, adding participants must check out and receive receipt for the fish caught before they leave.
Organizers are still working with homeowners along the lake, though Kempfer said properties will be marked indicating which ones can be accessed and which are restricted.
ãThe majority of the fishing, I expect, will be down by the swinging bridge area because thatãs where the trout seem to congregate; although there are trout all throughout the lake.ã
Kempfer said the easiest access for onshore fishing will be the beach area near Garnet Street and in the vicinity of the swinging bridge.
Boats are permitted during the Derby, although they must be 18-feet or under and must be manually propelled. No electric or gas motor boats will be allowed.
ãI expect everything to run pretty good,ã said Kempfer, adding great interest has been expressed.
ãIãve had calls from as far away as Lethbridge (Alberta) and that was a caravan of five families that are coming out here specifically for the Fish Derby. So, I expect a good crowd and hope everybody has a lot of fun.ã
Wolseley Dam Days will be held Aug. 3 to Aug. 5.

I have finally gotten a sticky bean after ttc for 10 months (at home ICI AI with known donor). I only just now stumbled across TheBump. I'm really excited to find an Oregon forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 6w3d and (nausea) sicker than BEEP. I've tried everything that we have but I just ordered a bunch of stuff off of Amazon like Preggy Pops and all that. Hopefully something helps. I kinda wish I'd just puke because I know I'd feel better. I'm supposed to be at the Dragon Boat races... but instead I'm in bed.
Is there any groups that meet up in real life?? I'd love to meet other pregnant women just to have someone in real life to relate to!!

By Martha R. Fehl
Do you have a special tree?
It could be your special tree because you like to climb it, or because it provides shade for a picnic spot or because it has brightly colored fall leaves or fragrant flowers in the spring.
Does your special tree stand taller and wider or seem stronger and older than the trees near it? Then your special tree, perhaps one in your yard or neighborhood or in a nearby forest, might be a historic specimen.
One such special tree located in Maryland was known as the Wye Oak. The dowager of the nation's white oaks, its name came from its location near the village of Wye Mills.
It wasn't until 1909 that the huge oak tree was officially recognized for its size. Ten years later, the Wye Oak was honored in American Forestry Magazine's Tree Hall of Fame. Later, the American Forestry Association started looking for Big Tree Champions. In 1940, the Wye Oak held the title of the largest white oak in America.
Long-respected as the state symbol of Maryland, the Wye Oak collapsed in a very severe thunderstorm in June,2002. It was believed to have been more than 500 years old at the time it fell. Try to imagine its size. It was 31 feet and 8 inches in circumference, 96 feet tall and its crown spread 119 feet.
Many people were very sad to see the tree fall. Fortunately, the Wye Oak lives on because Maryland forestry experts collected and saved acorns from the tree and made them available. People planted the acorns and are watching them grow into a new generation of oak trees. Maybe one will grow as large as its ancestor.
You can see more photographs of the Wye Oak at http://www.nal.usda.gov/speccoll/images1/wye.html
Another kind of oak tree—a live oak—was probably a seedling at the same time as the Wye Oak. Sadly, like the Wye Oak, it has died, but it was the efforts of those who tried to save it from a vandal's chain saw damage that gave it its name—the Inspiration Oak.
The Inspiration Oak located in Magnolia Springs, Ala., was a huge, historic live oak that also dated back to the voyage of Christopher Columbus.
During an argument over about the ownership of the property it stood on, someone girdled (cut a circle around) the massive tree on Oct. 12, 1990, with a chain saw, cutting into vital growth areas for the tree. Despite many efforts to save the oak, it died.
Around 15,000 people came every month for a couple of years to see forestry experts' attempts to save the tree. They used water spraying system, and built a greenhouse around the base of the tree. However, the cut had harmed the important tissue that allowed the tree to grow, and it could not be saved.
Lights now cloak the skeletal outlines of the tree, and it sits as a silent sentinel without the leaves or Spanish moss that once surrounded it. Its huge 192-foot frame from tip to tip measures 27 feet in circumference, and it is shedding bark.
Both of these enormous and long-lived trees were members of the same family of trees. There are other famous long lived oak trees in America and many stories surround them.
Five years after being voted the United States' favorite tree, President George W. Bush signed a historic bill in 2004 that made America's national tree the oak tree.
