MetroGel 1% is similar to MetroGel 0.75%, except the base formula contains a tiny amount of the cell-communicating ingredient niacinamide. This higher concentration of metronidazole is recommended for use once per day. Promotional materials for this drug mention the term betadex. This ingredient is based around b-cyclodextrin, which is derived from starch and enhances penetration of the active ingredient into the skin. This has the potential to be a very effective topical prescription for controlling the symptoms of rosacea.
These three prescription-only drugs are topical applications used to treat rosacea. They contain the active ingredient metronidazole, an antimicrobial agent thought to combat the cause of rosacea. For many patients dealing with this skin disorder, this is in fact an optimal way to treat rosacea, because it helps minimize the redness, papules, and pustules that accompany this condition. It is considered the place to start when putting together an effective skin-care program to manage rosacea (Sources: Cutis, January 2007, pages 73–80; Skin Therapy Letter, March 2006, pages 1–4; Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, January 2006, pages 23–26; and Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, May 13, 2002). As another option, metronidazole is also found in the prescription-only topical drug Noritate.
For more information, call (866) 735-4137 or visit the Web site at www.metrogel.com.
Note: If metronidazole does not work for you, talk to your dermatologist about other prescription options for rosacea, including azelaic acid (Finacea), oral antibiotics such as tetracycline and its derivatives, and topical products containing sulfur (though these tend to be the most irritating and drying and should be considered a last resort, assuming your skin can tolerate this ingredient at all).

I would like to know what to do with the stumps of a small tree and bushes that have been cut down.
The stumps are exposed and I'm researching to narrow down what my options are to remove the stumps. There are people here who burn it out with diesel/fuel, which I have no intention of using. What I would like to know is how to burn the stumps with charcoal, or another oil as an alternative. I almost feel silly asking this, but can something like olive oil or vegetable oil be used to burn the stump, instead of fuel. I have absolutely no intention of simply leaving the stumps there. So please, any recommendations regarding burning it out with charcoal or some sort of oil would be helpful. Thanks everyone. |

what do you consider small stumps??? what about just some digging and cutting ... i doubt you will 'burn' anything IN the soil .. at best you will simply be burning that which is above ground ... at which point.. you could just cut them flush.. and accomplish the same thing ... also.. with the extended drought and heat.. there are burning bans in many areas ... surely you dont need a $500 fine .. check into that ... if these are what i call small .. anything under about 3 inches.. i would just dig them out.. start digging about 3 feet out from the stump .. have the sawzall ready.. and just go to it ... and this will give you a clean hole to plant something new in .... frankly.. i know what you want.. the EASY way .. and with stumps .. there is no easy way ... good luck .. have fun.. but be safe ... ken |
I assume you're not going to dig, or pull them up. I have burned out stumps before and will probably do a few more. I just make a campfire on them after digging out around the stump to expose it more. On large old stumps they can sometimes smoke for days or weeks in a few cases and burn right down in the ground on the roots for several feet. Another option is to cut it off, after digging around it, and add a few wheelbarrows of soil and then plant a groundcover. After all, the stump only takes up a few square feet |

I wonder if refined gasoline is cleaner burning than cooking oils. Through most of the midwest and Colorado this is not burning season. A stump grinder, shovel, new cheap dirt and patience have to be the way to go for instant removal of anything larger than 18in across. A thinner stump and maybe a sawzall. I have blown afternoons removing honeysuckle stumps. Of course I hate resprouting invasive honeysuckle |

Do not use gasoline, it can ignite explosively. Charcoal lighter fluid would work great, drill some holes and let it soak in. |

CPU fan won't work properly
After installing windows 7 cpu fan won't run higher then 3125 rpm. So for the desktop applications it's ok but when i enter the game cpu temp. goes to 60 - 70 celsius. Before win 7 i had xp and it worked just fine.
So if anyone have any solution, please help. Tnx! |

I tried that before, it's not working. I tried everything i know, and the only thing i can do is update bios, but abit support is lame...

What is it, this fan... a 3 pin or a PWM model? Have you thought about using Speedfan or a hardware based fan controller - or modding the wiring to a switch or attenuator to give you manual control?
My System Specs |
29 Dec 2009 | #5 |
It's a 3 pin fan. I installed SpeedFan but it's not working... it won't recognize a fan. I red on other forum that the speedfan will not recognize cpu or any other fan, and that is correct. I can cut the wire that connects a fan with a bios, i mean a wire that gives a control to bios over a fan. Then a fan will run on full rpm, or it won't run. And i don't like that solution either. But if is only solution i will cut it.

I find a temporarily solution. Friend bought a amd phenom and he gave me his cpu fan from a phenom. The temperature is now about 45 - 50 celsius when playing games. Just like i said it's just a temporarily solution, so if anybody does have any clue how to fix this problem please answer!
My System Specs |
30 Dec 2009 | #7 |
I would say again, Speedfan... because it does work, and is for this type of issue... if you've not got it working then you're most likely simply not creating a profile correctly!
Above I already made another two suggestions, but let me hightlight one of them for you again with this useful link to a fan controller review for you to read. When I have had noisy fans and there's no way for them to be attentuated then I've always considered doing three things, firstly - get as quiet and large a fan as possible, secondly, ensure your cooling fins/matrix are dust free and that any thermal paste is properly applied to the CPU or the chipset in question, and finally... there is always the technique of undervolting, whilst not always desirable - it can drastically reduce noise when a 7v or 5v modded power link is connected to a 12v fan... |

"The reality is that these products are food and need to be treated as such. Still, as living food it's not handled in the same way. It's susceptible to a lot fewer things than something that's processed," he said.
More and more consumer groups are looking for living options, Clark said.
"We're trying to reach folks that aren't necessarily gardeners but who want those benefits," Clark said.
While younger, urban consumers make up a large portion of consumers of living produce, other groups are growing in interest too.
Leiterman agreed with the widespread value that living produce offers to various demographics, saying that living produce typically provides more of an experience to consumers than typical produce, making these products a good fit for high-end stores.
However, she said living products fit in well with smaller stores that don't have a lot of fresh herb sales.
"Our produce stays on shelves longer, so it's easier to have that offering. It fits pretty much any demographic," she said.

"The book aims to develop a clearer understanding of the influence of social dynamics on the educational opportunities of high school students of color in the urban setting of California's Los Angeles area. Specifically, we examine how students' backgrounds, high school experiences and own agency shape their college preparation processes and postsecondary aspirations. While some research has been done on high school students' college-choice process, this book is unique in its broad and comparative approach. It examines the experiences of students across 10 schools, identifying broad themes that are illustrated through specific case studies. This approach allows readers to understand the broader issues that face students from underserved backgrounds as they pursue college, while illuminating how these issues uniquely manifest themselves in individual school contexts."

Is a combination of slightly spicy and slightly creamy sweet scents... isn't spicy enough for me, and isn't as decadent as the White Mud Cake is by itself.

This is quite crazy, I ordered this combo and it works quite well together. On me I can smell predominently the cinamon, but I've not tried any of the other cinamon scents to compare against or the philosophy gel. I got this in Shea Body Butter Souffle in strong intensity. Quite nice but not drop dead stunning.

A really sweet swapper sent me a sample and I am hooked. It smells a lot like my beloved Deep Fried Ice cream: cinnamon, vanilla and frosting or maybe honey. Not overly gooey sweet, which is good because my BF hates sticky sweet scents. I am hooked.

I received a sample of this in a swap and I had to have it! It smelled like cinnamon and a hint of butter and almost a chocolatey scented undertone. I purchased the scent in the body icing, intensity 3 (as the sample from the muaer was) and I like it, but it smells a bit different. I mostly smell cinnamon this time without as much of buttery scent. I still like it, but I wonder if the scents vary from batch to batch. As this is my very first purchase from MMU (and any other foody homemade bath product maker), I don't have an answer yet. I would repurchase this product again, though I wish it came in a more handy squeeze tube versus a tub.

I bought this scent in the Make Me Smooth Body Custard formula and all I can is: yuck! It looks like glue, has the consistency of glue, and SMELLS like glue. I think this scent just doesn't mix well with whatever Make Me Smooth contains because it seperated from the base about 5 days after I got it. I might give Bakery Fantasy/White Mud Cake a chance, but in some other formulation.

It smells horrible. I am really disappointed. It is giving me a headache..and I love bakery/foody type smells. It smells fake, what a waste of my money. And the product is so small for a lot of money, wow. I am surprised with all the rave reviews, I still plan on trying more mmu lotions, until I get the perfect one!

This scent is a DEAD RINGER for Philosophy's Cinnamon Buns 3-in-1, which is EXACTLY what I wanted! If you have the Cinnamon Buns 3-in-1 you know how it has that cakey/buttery undertone? Most Cinnabun fragrances don't have that... at least all of the one's I've sniffed. This one has that... it is a perfect match! VERY yummy fragrance! I don't think you can beat MMU's scents... they are so true and last so long! I highly recommend this scent, in case you haven't noticed ;) Especially if you're looking for a scented lotion to match your Philosophy Cinnamon Buns ;)

Oh no! Sorry, it's not funny but I had to laugh. If it would have been Christmas Eve, Sam could have blamed it on Santa's reindeer. calliope - cute story about the little shelter dog, I can just picture that. |

honalee- Yes, thank goodness no chocolate..that was our angel beagle back in Christmas 2005...she ate an entire pound! Thankfully we caught it in time(took awhile for hubby to get out of the dog house for leaving it out within smart beagle reach)...of course what saved her life also made my car smell like chocolate vomit for about a month, but I will take it since she was okay. Sadly, the ER knew her for her eating things she wasn't supposed to...some of them we will never figure out how she got them. schoolhouse - it is funny in retrospect...and makes for a great story, but cleaning up was brutally stinky!! Calliope - Sam is on the left...we've had him for about 3 weeks now...he just discovered the joy of toys about a week after we had him, unfortunately, I didn't think about him considering my heat pack a toy, and yeah, they always have a knack for finding just the perfect spot don't they? Sadly, our boy is still struggling with the GI upset and when I checked his gums today, they were pale, so now our sweet boy is having a slumber party at the ER to get IV fluids and something to settle things down in his GI. While not his total normal self, he has still been eating and drinking and pooping (was looking better today) but duh, I spaced on the fact that diarrhea can cause dehydration. Gonna go ahead and do xrays too to make sure there are no obstructions. Poor little guy. I feel terrible. :( |
Both your babies are adorable labybugfruit. What breed is Sam? You may have posted previously but I guess I missed it. I know he will bring lots of joy and happiness into your life and you into his. Poor baby, I hope he is over his episode with the flax seed and everything is back to normal. What breed of dog is Tasha...........from the shape of her face I'd bet there is some chow in there somewhere. You may already be aware of "Bad Dog Chronicles" but I have posted a link in case you aren't. This is a site where "Dogs" post stories of their "bad dog deeds". Some of the stories are really funny. I think most doglovers would enjoy it. Sam could even post his story on it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bad Dog Chronicles

Oh no! Hope he's OK! Looks like he's settled right in though! I have to dog-proof the house if I leave it for any amount of time ... Rocky has some separation issues and wll chew the most unlikely things if he can. Great pics of all the pups! |
Poor Sam! New on the block and landed in the hospital! Well, now we know flax works on dog's digestive systems too... Ginny, you've got a couple cute Shelties there. I have two, a sable merle female (that we think may be a double merle actually but aren't sure) and a sable male. I shouldn't even ask if your are barkers too....lol Bad dog chronicles, what a hoot, thanks for the link Fl gypsy. |
BDC's is great when you are having one of those days with your dogs...:( And around here, those days are pretty much every day! I have 5 shelties who naturally think they are human and probably smarter than most humans I know! Thanks for sharing the link Gypsy! :) Jomuir ~ Painter's Daddy is a sable merle. I had 5 puppies in that litter and not one repeat. I can't believe he just turned 7 a week ago! Time does fly when you have puppies in and out. That picture of Angel was taken when that litter was 10 days old. I put a picture up on the gallery of what happens when you breed a white factored bi factored tri with a sable merle. Barkers???? What ever do you mean??? Lol! Actually most of the time they are fairly quiet. They have learned they will have to deal with the rath of Mother!! :) Ladybug ~ I can just bet when Sam is feeling better, you will have to tie that tree to the ceiling so those two won't knock it over! Sure hope that's soon! Ginny |

Ginny, what a beautiful chocoholic and purse opener you have! :) Such precious little faces!! Probably hard to stay mad at them long when they misbehave. We are not one hundred percent what Sam is, guessing BC, Heeler, maybe australian shepherd mix. I talked the hubby into getting a DNA test for Sam as a Christmas present. LOL, it may be in January though after the ER bill. Our Sammy boy is home and doing much better..thanks everyone for the concern ;). I felt like such a bad puppy mom leaving my heat wrap out..it's been a long time since we had a young one in the house, it's takes some readjustment. fl gypsy - Tasha is a brittany spaniel and sharpei. She has a lot of sharpei in her. Sweet little lumpy legs, gramma socks and when she's not a bit porky( we were comfort feeding her a bit when we lost Sadie), we can make a "puppy suitecase" with the extra skin on her back, but not so many wrinkles that we have to deal with cleaning them out. I can't WAIT to check out BDC's, thanks for sharing! I could add alot of stories to that from when we had our beagle, Socki, she was a smart lil mess. Her very last night on the earth, she was busted rifling through my purse on the dining room table, looking for cookies. Miss my lil trouble maker. pamghattten- yes, still re-learning about dog proofing, but really Sam is a good boy overall. He is a clepto though, steals random things and puts them in his kennel. He took my hubby's phone last week. Hubby wanted quirks, he got them ;) How is your new addition doing? Love to hear an update! I have noticed that a few of you that have the BC type mixes talk about having barkers....funny because we were starting to think that Sam would never bark. He just found his voice in the last week or so. It's cute, he follows Tasha's lead on barking when I get home and when someone is at the door. LOL Ginny, I make then pups go outside to play, because I KNOW how it could go. They still haven't had a full on play session, Sam is still learning parameters..he tends to go overboard when he is overstimulated, but I know it will happen soon enough. HAha, he's decided that it's a race every time they go out to see who can get to the bunny hole first. I just know one of these days he's going to land in the pool trying to get there faster. He's is lighting fast too! |

My Mom's 11 mo. old Cavalier swallowed her embroidery needle a couple weeks ago, she saw thread hanging from his mouth and before she could pull on it he gulped it all down. She sobbed the whole time she was on the phone to the vet. Surgery was performed, everything is fine now - except she says she is afraid to get her embroidery out ever again! This pup is the worst I've ever seen when it comes to eating inedible objects. They watch him like a hawk, but he is so quick. |

Many years ago, we had a large shepard mix - Nelson. Normally a very good dog....except at Christmas time. Don't know what the enticement was - but he could get behind the tree (which was always in a corner), leave his xmas pile & get out without ever knocking off an ornament. Worst part was getting back there to clean it up. Gotta love them :) |

Throwing Food 2
Posted April 20, 2009
Hi Kitty,
My daughter (who is close to 18 months now) has always thrown things. Her food, her toys, her sippy ... you name it. Now, I feel like she should be past this phase (or at least getting there) but it seems it is getting worse. She launches her sippy and gets close to breaking things, she always throws her food, and our dog is starting to get over-fed! When I tell her "no", she just gets mad and throws more. I eventually take all her food away, and only give her little bits at a time, but that is also frustrating. What can we do to help stop this?
Throwing will stop most quickly if purposefully ignored. She is doing it to get a reaction (it works!) so the reactions have to stop. Put the dog away during her meals. Keep her sippy cup on the counter and give it to her when she asks, and then put it back on the counter until the day comes when she realizes if she throws it it goes into the fridge. You needn't comment on that, just do it and let her fuss.
Throwing food is a sign she isn't really hungry and the meal needs to end. Saying "NO" simply makes it more interesting for her. If the food is going over, ignore the food, but end the meal saying "It looks like you are done." Get her down, even kicking and screaming, and ignore all that. Pick up the food in a few minutes.
Next meal you may observe (from the corner of your eye, only) that she does not throw as much. If she does, end the meal again, without any big reaction on your part.
Don't allow any more food until the next scheduled meal. She'll survive and she'll slowly be learning a new rhythm.
When she throws toys, try not to see and not to react. The fun of doing it will gradually disappear for her - since nobody will be watching.

Toilet Training for Pre-school
Posted April 10, 2009
Dear Kitty,
My 3-year old daughter is registered for preschool in September. Of course, the preschool wants her to be potty trained and we've been working on it but some days she gets it and some days she doesn't. I've told her she can't go to preschool unless she is using the potty, but now she is saying she doesn't want to go to preschool. Help!
You aren't the only parent beginning to worry. This week's Toilet Learning seminar registration is larger than at other times of the year. I'm sure this is no coincidence.
Preschool 'by-laws' are gradually evolving, thank goodness. Some are still very strict but most are reasonable. If your child has a thin pull-up on for some weeks most teachers will turn a blind eye. I'm not suggesting you lie about how complete the toilet training job is, but I do suggest you be...vague in your answer. "It is coming along very well, though I will send her in a pull-up at first just to save you any time or trouble."
Luckily, children usually don't poop during the 2 hour of preschool. They are distracted by activities and usually wait until they get home. If they happen to pee in their pull-up during this time, no one need be the wiser. Tell her if this happens, you can change her when she gets home.
Your daughter's claim that she doesn't want to go to preschool (because of strings attached) is the best reminder for parents not to use this as a threat. Instead, you can say "You have a very smart body. I know that. Your body is working hard to figure out peeing and pooping. It's doing a good job and that is all we need to know."
I wish we didn't have artificial deadlines imposed by school and I wish we didn't have peer or generational pressure from people keeping track of eachchild's progress. Nearly every parent I know approaches this so-called milestone with some trepidation. We need to remember that every body gets it eventually and when or how should remain your family's private business.

Building Resilience with Games
Posted April 1, 2009
This excellent question appeared recently on the ParentsNet discussion board:
I have a 5 year old who is, typically, into playing games (card games, clue, parcheesi etc.). She plays with her friends and us, her parents. When I play with her, I don't try to win, nor do I try to lose, figuring that she will win some and lose some. Which is how it happens. Twice now though, she has reacted to losing in a negative way. The first time, she kicked the Clue board, threw the pieces across the carpet and was very very mad. After briefly explaining that she was being a poor loser and all that entails, I suggested she head upstairs for some quiet time. Today, she lost at Snap and she snapped. I reacted by reminding her that losing is part of playing and she wasn't losing well and that we wouldn't be playing any more games today but we could try again tomorrow. She got really really mad, I got lots of evil eyes and sour looks. While I can empathize how hard it is to lose at the age of 5, I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or saying to discourage the bad losing? Kitty, what are your recommendations on this topic?
Some day you may appreciate the humor in the picture you've painted - Clue board and pieces flying - but I'm sure in the moment it's a very unpleasant scene. It's a good reminder for parents that kids at 5 years of age are likely to be going through a highly competitve stage. For one thing, it's somewhat new for them to understand the complexities and rules of playing games any more sophisticated than bingo and then on top of that, we ask them to be a good loser. This usually reaches beyond their scope.
I think you handled the situation very well, telling her there won't be any more games today but we can try again tomorrow. Gradually, in an effort to keep the games going, she'll at least lower the level of steam when she loses, though for a while her disappointment may feel profound to her.
As time goes on, I bet you'll observe her being able to look back and say ...well, at least I won last time (and eventually) ...maybe next time I'll win!
A long time from now, you may even hear "Good for you, mom!"

New York Couple Inspires Kindness
We all experience situations where waiting seems necessary: Waiting in line, waiting for a ride, and especially, waiting for change. One inspiring New York couple decided it was time to stop waiting.
For the past year, Mark & Ismini Svensson have dedicated themselves to traveling all across America performing one act of kindness in every state. Their goal is to promote volunteerism and encourage other citizens to become active in their communities. They call this initiative '50 Acts of Giving Back.'
"Many people have the preconception that you have to dedicate a lot of time or money in order to make a real difference in today's world," Ismini said, "but we wanted to show that every act of kindness, no matter how seemingly insignificant can make a difference, especially if it helps motivate others to do the same."
When the couple started this initiative, Ismini who is a civil engineer, was several months pregnant, and Mark, a Georgetown University graduate, was working at a law firm.
"It's been very challenging to do all this while at the same time starting a family and a career," said Mark. "We found ourselves countless times working 18 hours a day and traveling every weekend and time-off to make this goal a reality," he adds.
Utilizing digital tools like Facebook and Twitter, Mark and Ismini began posting pictures of their journey and charitable acts. What started as a couple's personal adventure, quickly expanded, with friends and followers online becoming more engaged and motivated. Every act of kindness performed soon became the result of an online discussion.
"We wanted to promote social good through the social media and the response was tremendous," says Ismini. "People from all over have sent us suggestions of charitable acts to perform in their state as well as acts of kindness they have performed as a result."
Some of the Svenssons acts of kindness have included: Furnishing the home of formerly homeless women and their children in Los Angeles, California; Donating books and promoting the importance of literacy in Las Vegas, Nevada; Visiting patients suffering from cancer in Asheville, North Carolina; Bringing toys to seriously ill children at the Arkansas Children's Hospital; and providing meals to the homeless in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
"The reaction of the people we come in contact with is always very positive. Many times people have mentioned how inspired they are by this effort, especially that we do this as a family," says Mark.
With an outpouring of support, Mark and Ismini decided to establish the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization StayUNITED making '50 Acts of Giving Back' one of the organization's initiatives.
"Giving back is our true passion, something that gives greater meaning to our lives," says Ismini. "Through StayUNITED, we look forward to continuing our efforts to help those in need," she adds.
The couple's commitment and dedication to charitable giving has earned the recognition of public officials across the country including Senator Feinstein, Congressman Waxman, and Congresswoman Lowey.
"We're deeply humbled by the support we've received. It's been an absolute life-changing experience," says Ismini.

Colorado Chapter of the Business Marketing Association Releases
'Advice From The Top' Book
B2B Marketing's first 'go-to' best practices reference guide now available
DENVER, Colo., June 1, 2011 —The Colorado Chapter of the Business Marketing Association (BMA Colorado) today unveiled Advice From The Top: The Expert Guide to B2B Marketing, a new resource for business-to-business (B2B) marketers who want informed advice and proven best practices in today's changing communications landscape. The handbook, authored by B2B marketing industry experts, was released during the opening day of the Annual BMA International Marketing Conference in Chicago, Ill. June 1-3.
Advice From The Top is an easy-to-use handbook developed by marketing professionals for marketing professionals. The contributing authors, members of the BMA Colorado chapter, are experts with up to 30 years of experience in industries such as healthcare, technology, financial services and higher education. The book distinguishes itself by bringing together diverse voices and thinking from leading academics, corporate marketers, senior agency executives and seasoned consultants in a handbook-style format.
"The book is truly 'advice from the top,' as all contributors have 15, 20 or even 30 years or more experience practicing and mastering their areas of expertise," said Gary Slack, BMA international chairman, 2009-11, and chairman and chief experience officer, Slack + Company. "All 24 authors demonstrate a deep understanding of how B2B marketing is evolving and showcase in their 'advice' the latest developments and techniques in their respective spaces."
Chapters include advice on fundamental marketing topics such as lead generation, marketing and customer retention plans; helping sales and marketing work together; managing customer experiences; and using public relations to increase brand value. In addition, each chapter includes an illustrative case study. The chapters are arranged in four sections: "Building Your Strategy," "Developing Content," "Implementing Your Plan" and "Measuring Your Success." The lessons and case studies apply equally to Fortune 500 corporations and one-person businesses.
The idea for the book arose from a BMA Colorado exercise that explored ways to expand its educational offerings in order to further enrich the professional careers of members. The organization issued a call for chapters to its members, and from the many responses chose the 24 that now comprise the book.
"Every profession has its definitive texts. Doctors have Gray's Anatomy, writers have The Elements of Style and we'd like to see Advice From The Top grow into that kind of role for B2B marketing," said Carla Johnson, 2010-2011 BMA Colorado president. "We haven't found a resource for business-to-business marketing professionals that has the breadth and depth of information in this book. We hope it finds a home on every B2B marketer's bookshelf – always close at hand."
Advice From The Top was authored by nearly 30 different marketing professionals including: David Ariss; Larry Brummond; Orlin Camerlo; Casey Demchak; Sam Eidson; Susan Fantle; Lee Gallagher; Scott Gillum; Lisa Haldeman; Melanie Hughes Goetz; Carla Johnson; Tom Kennedy; Laurie Lavelle; Lisa Miller; Byron O'Dell; Dr. Charles Patti; Marcy Phelps,; Marian Robinson; Yann Ropars; Tom Schippert; Brett Schklar; Barry Seidenstadt; Cheryl Smith; Kevin Thoma; , Dr. Maria van Dessel; Michael Ward and Sandra Zoratti.
For more information or to place an order for Advice From The Top, visit http://www.bmatopadvice.com. The price is $29.95 per copy, $24.95 for BMA members and additional discounts apply for bulk orders of 50 books or more.

We wanted to provide you with an update regarding the current health situation on campus. Please know that our colleague's medical condition continues to remain serious. Our thoughts continue to be with our colleague and family.
As noted in our previous update, we have been notified that the case has been confirmed as meningococcal meningitis. In addition, this morning the University received confirmation from the Monmouth County Regional Health Commission that the meningitis has been recognized as Serogroup C, which is one of the common forms of meningitis and is covered under the standard vaccine approved for use in the United States. Information on who should receive the vaccine is available at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/mening/who-vaccinate.htm.
It is important to continue to keep in mind the following:
Questions from employees should be directed to Human Resources. Students should contact the University's Health Center for information or concerns and parents should contact the Office of Student Services.
We will continue to update you as appropriate.
To Members of the University Community:
We wanted to provide you with an update regarding the current health situation on campus. First and foremost, please know that our colleague's medical condition is still grave and remains unchanged. Our thoughts continue to be with him and his family.
We have been notified that the case has been confirmed as meningococcal meningitis. The particular type is still unknown, and we do not expect to receive this information until early next week. We continue to have daily contact with our local health official for updates and further guidance.
It is important to keep in mind the following:
I am writing to inform you of a situation occurring on campus that your son or daughter may have informed you about.
The University was advised last night that an employee is suffering from meningococcal meningitis. The employee, who is an administrator in the Controller's area, is gravely ill and has been admitted to a hospital. The University has been in touch with officials from both the Monmouth County Regional Health Commission and the New Jersey State Department of Health. Those officials, who are also in contact with the Center for Disease Control, are assisting the University's response to the situation.
It is very important to know the facts regarding the possible spread of this disease:
The University is working closely with the public health officials to reach out to any individuals who may be at risk for infection. Because of the need for such close contact to spread the bacteria, those health officials believe that the group at risk on campus is extremely small.
Further information on meningococcal meningitis can be viewed at the following web sites:
The health officials advise that all classes and other normal University activities should proceed as scheduled. The University shall continue to keep you updated on this situation as needed. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Student Services at 732-571-3417. You can also obtain updates by the Monmouth University Parents & Families web page.

Social media are primarily Internet-based tools for sharing and discussing information among human beings. The term most often refers to activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos and audio. This interaction, and the manner in which information is presented, depends on the varied perspectives and "building" of shared meaning among communities, as people share their stories and experiences. ~Wikipedia

The Loveland Schools' two show choirs are presenting a preview of their 2013 competition routines on Thursday January 17th at 8 PM in the Loveland Middle School auditorium.
Last year Revolution, the middle school group, brought home Grand Champion trophies from 4 of their 5 competitions. In 2012 By Request, the high school group, placed in finals in all 6 of their competitions, brought home a Grand Champion trophy, plus numerous caption awards before going to represent Loveland and the United States in the World Choir Games last summer.
Since most competitions are out of town, this is a chance to see the two groups at home as they prepare for their first competition on January 18th and 19th at Beavercreek, Ohio. Both groups will conclude their competition season in April at Show Choir Nationals in Nashville. Come help them start their season off right.
The show is free and open to the public.

A poll conducted by national pollster PPP the weekend of January 12, 2014, shows a strong majority of North Carolina voters believe doctors should be allowed to prescribe marijuana for medicinal use, and over half of NC voters consider marijuana as safer than alcohol. According to a nationwide CNN poll last week, nearly 75% of Americans think alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana. The results, when compared to a 2013 opinion poll, show significant growth in voter support for marijuana legal reform, including legalization for adult responsible use and for medical use. Support is also strong for allowing NC farmers to grow industrial hemp. (This is the first year a hemp-related question has been polled.) Industrial hemp is similar to the marijuana plant, except hemp contains no psychoactive chemicals. According to federal law, hemp is currently illegal to grow but is legal to import and process into textiles, paper, biofuels and food. This is a significant missed economic opportunity for North Carolina: for the farmers who could be producing this lucrative crop, and for those who wish to manufacture hemp food and fiber products in NC. Jon Kennedy, an officer with the state chapter of NORML, said the poll results confirm North Carolina is following the nationwide trend of increasing marijuana awareness. "The people of North Carolina are beginning to understand that marijuana is safer than alcohol and are eager for a change in how we spend our tax dollars." NORML of North Carolina is a non-profit organization with a mission to move public opinion sufficiently to legalize the responsible use of marijuana by adults. "Marijuana really is medicine. A recent CNN documentary about its ability to treat severe forms of epilepsy has given hope to families with children suffering from hundreds of seizures a day. The National Cancer Institute [cancer.gov] now recognizes marijuana has cancer cell killing properties. The fact that the plant is effectively non-toxic with no confirmed deaths from overdose suggests it is time for a reform of North Carolina's marijuana laws," added Kennedy. According to a 2013 report by the American Civil Liberties Union, in North Carolina, African Americans were arrested for marijuana possession at 3.4 times the rate of whites, despite comparable marijuana usage rates. The report, Marijuana in Black and White: Billions of Dollars Wasted on Racially Biased Arrests, released today, is the first ever to examine state and county marijuana arrest rates nationally by race. Statewide, North Carolina law enforcement made 20,983 marijuana arrests in 2010 – the 10th most in the nation – and marijuana possession arrests accounted for 53.6 percent of all drug arrests in North Carolina in 2010. These arrests came at the cost of over $55,000,000 to NC taxpayers in 2010 alone! Law enforcement budgets throughout the state are significantly enhanced by the current drug laws, from special grants, overtime pay, and fines and forfeiture of citizens' personal properties (homes, cars, etc.) and this financial conflict of interest hampers unfettered dialogue about this issue. However, despite the current prohibition, marijuana is widely used in NC - according to the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, about 1 in 5 young adults aged 18-26 are regular marijuana users and about 1 in 10 adults over aged 26 are regular (past month) users. People who use marijuana come from all socioeconomic, and ethnic backgrounds, and of all age groups; however arrests are disproportionately made on minority, youth and other disadvantaged populations, such as the mentally ill. There is no evidence that the current prohibition policies keep NC safer, reduce misuse or benefit the greater community in any way. Even the President recently commented that he thought (legal) alcohol was a more harmful substance than marijuana. There is an emerging consensus that current marijuana laws harm families, and they must be changed in NC. Contact info: NORML of North Carolina Jon Kennedy, Secretary P.O.

Without dwelling on the unenlightened who chose to dismiss the bill without consideration, supporters of state regulated medical cannabis need to foster the new allies we have made in the last months since the bill was introduced and summarily dismissed, and since we saw the continued unmitigated attack on citizens' education, healthcare, environment and community safety that the current legislature undertook in NC this Legislative Session. We have increased citizen awareness about the medical advances made in cannabinoid medicine, and we have learned of more health professionals who show the courage to step up for patient rights. We are developing an educational outreach effort to address the prevalent misinformation about the risk profile of cannabis and the harms related to the ongoing demonization of marijuana in the South. Through our efforts, we helped more citizens understand the harsh public health toll taken on suffering citizens who get ensnared in the tangle of the criminal justice system and get labeled "drug offenders".
We knew it would be a steep climb. For those who need medicine now, at least there are states where they can seek asylum. For the rest of us, we need to learn from today's events, remember this on election day, and focus on education and outreach in the most civil manner possible. Harsh rhetoric has raised hackles on our opponents and emotional pleas for mercy have fallen on deaf ears. But we should not give up on making our beautiful North Carolina a kinder place to live. North Carolina is America's Swing State and sociocultural change in this region has ripple effects that can sway the overall national perspective. And with the enough support for our grassroots, homegrown efforts, to quote the iconic songwriter N Young, "Southern change gonna come at last." Please remember that activists serve as diplomats for our cause. Please be civil, legal and respectful at all times.

The SD940 IS is a pleasure to use. It has excellent build quality and is very quick and responsive. Its small size makes it convenient to carry everywhere you go, so you're always ready to take advantage of an available photo opportunity.
It takes very good pictures in good light and has a small but effective flash. Even though it does not allow direct control over aperture and shutter speed, it has many options available so you can tailor the picture to your satisfaction. Its only significant downsides are that it takes soft photos at high ISOs and exhibits some chromatic aberration.
