BUTTE -- The man serving a 10-year sentence for a drunken hit-and-run accident that killed a Butte teen and injured two others has been granted parole after serving a little more than three years of his sentence.
The Montana Board of Pardons and Parole granted Wade Petersen parole during a hearing in Helena.
Petersen, 24, drove his pickup truck into three girls in Butte on October 2007. Mariah McCarthy was killed, and her friends, Kaitlyn Okrusch and Valarie Kilmer, were seriously injured.
Petersen will be released from custody on parole once he successfully completes the pre-release program in Helena, according to Julie Thomas, a senior parole analyst for the probation and parole board.
Petersen had his parole hearing in Helena on April 25. The final release date is unknown, but could take several weeks, Thomas said.
Until then, Petersen remains in the Helena Prerelease Center. He will remain on parole until September 2018, Thomas said.
Petersen was sentenced in January 2009 to 20 years in prison with 10 years suspended for negligent vehicular homicide. Judge Brad Newman also sentenced him to the maximum of 10 years in prison for two counts of negligent vehicular assault and a hit-and-run charge involving death or personal injury.
Thomas explained that Petersen will be under enhanced supervision while on parole and will be subject to several restrictions. For example, he will not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle and will not be allowed in Silver Bow County.
He also can't drink alcohol or be in a bar, must seek chemical dependency counseling, regularly meet with a parole officer and submit to random drug testing.
Parole board members John Ward and Darryle Dupius granted Petersen's parole.
Leo McCarthy, whose daughter, Mariah, was killed by Petersen, attended last week's parole hearing. He said he's disappointed in the justice system, but hopes Petersen will give something back once he is free.
"He owes a great debt to the people of Butte," McCarthy said.
He added that he's not sure if Petersen has accepted responsibility for his crimes.
"My daughter is still dead, and I don't know if he's atoned for it," McCarthy said.
His daughter's death resulted in a citywide program, Mariah's Challenges, which gives scholarships to students who agree not to use alcohol.
Jimm Kilmer, the father of Valarie Kilmer, also attended the hearing and said he takes some comfort in the restrictions placed on Petersen.
"The good news is he doesn't have driving prvileges and he can't come to Butte-Silver Bow," Kilmer said.
However, Kilmer said he thinks Petersen needs to spend more time in prison.
"I'm not a lock-him-up-and-throw-away-the-key kind of guy, but I don't think he spent long enough time for taking a human life," Kilmer said.

The Libri Foundation was established in 1989 for the sole purpose of helping rural libraries acquire new, quality, hardcover children's books they could not otherwise afford to buy. Since October 1990, the Foundation has donated over $6.1 million worth of new children's books to more than 3,300 libraries in all 50 states. The Foundation supports the concept that children who learn to enjoy reading at an early age continue to read throughout their lives. In order to develop a love of reading, children must have access to books which stretch their imaginations, touch their emotions, expand their horizons. For many children in rural areas, the local public library is often their primary source of reading material. Many rural schools either have no library or the library is inadequate to meet the needs of the students. At a time when more and more children and their parents and teachers are using the public library, these same libraries are facing increasing financial hardships and are unable to buy the books their young readers need. The Foundation works with the library's Friends of the Library or other local organizations because we believe in community involvement and want to encourage and reward local support of libraries. The Friends, or other local sponsors, can contribute from $200 to $350 which the Foundation matches on a 2-to-1 ratio. Thus, a library can receive up to $1,050 worth of new, quality, hardcover children's books through the Foundation's BOOKS FOR CHILDREN program. The local librarian, familiar with the needs of the library and the community, selects the books the library will receive from the Foundation's 600-title booklist, which has been highly praised by participating librarians for the quality and variety of fiction and nonfiction titles offered. The majority of books have been published within the last three years, but old favorites are also offered. All of the books have been highly recommended by recognized authorities in the library and education fields. The books donated through the BOOKS FOR CHILDREN program are used for storytelling; toddler, preschool, and after-school programs; summer reading programs; "book buddy" programs in which older children read to younger children; holiday programs; teacher check-out and curriculum support; early childhood development programs; school projects and to just provide children with a "good read." The goal of The Libri Foundation is to help as many rural libraries as possible through its BOOKS FOR CHILDREN program. All contributions to The Libri Foundation are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. And all contributions, large or small, are greatly appreciated as every dollar contributed to The Libri Foundation enables it to donate one dollar's worth of new, quality, hardcover children's books to a small, rural public library. Your financial support can help give a child a gift to last a lifetime--the wonderful world of books. The Foundation has established a Named Sponsor Program for any individual or organization donating at least $700. Named Sponsors may request their donations be used to buy books for a rural library in a particular state or region of the country or simply "where needed." Each book donated through the Named Sponsor program has a specially designed bookplate inside. The inscription includes the name of the library's local sponsor, the Named Sponsor, and The Libri Foundation. Named Sponsors may also choose to honor someone else or may remain anonymous. Please note: The Libri Foundation does not employ a professional fund-raiser nor does it rent, sell, or share the names of its contributors to other organizations or mailing lists. The Foundation does not send repeated appeals for money to its donors nor does it spend their money on "gifts," such as address labels, calendars, greeting cards, and other such items. The Foundation uses the money it receives to donate new children's books to rural public libraries for the enrichment of their young readers. To Make a Contribution

Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange
Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange
Princes Street, Penzance (The Exchange)
New Road, Newlyn (Newlyn Art Gallery)
01736 363715
For almost 120 years, Newlyn Art Gallery has been bringing the best in contemporary art to audiences in the south west. In 2007 the gallery was redeveloped and we opened a second venue, The Exchange in Penzance. With two venues we are able to offer a wide and varied programme across two sites, showcasing the very best of national and international contemporary art, as well as work by some of the best artists currently working in the region.
Newlyn has played an important role in supporting the development of 20th-century painting in Britain, and in acknowledgement of that history, our current programme seeks to reflect the ways in which contemporary artists, working in this country and internationally, use painting and drawing to express their ideas. The focus at Newlyn Art Gallery is on painting and drawing. Artists working in other media continue to be a part of the programme on occasions, but two-dimensional work is the clear focus. Recent shows have included major retrospectives by Roger Hilton and Breon O'Casey.
At The Exchange our huge gallery is regularly used as a project space in which artists and curators test new ideas, from The Penzance Convention held in May 2012, to Shezad Dawood's astounding exhibition running summer 2012. A major contemporary art space, The Exchange enables audiences to see work on a scale never before accessible in the region. It is also used as a venue for live performances, film screenings and community events.
Venue Type:
Additional info
Stocking a range of art books specialising in drawing and painting, as well as art magazines and greetings cards. New titles link to the current exhibitions. There is always a good selection of craft items by a range of makers, including Julia Davey. Her colourful Cornish seaside-themed tableware features images of boats moored in Penzance and Newlyn harbours/ We also have a selection of lampshades and cushions from £39 by award-winning textile designer Lorna Syson, and a range of colourful vessels by Rachel Foxwell inspired by coastal landscapes.
Our well-stocked Gallery Bookshop has a varied range of books on art, architecture, photography and design as well as books for children, including a new range of books and gift items linked to Ecologies of Value.
Both galleries have family-friendly cafes.
Education is an integral part of the Gallery's activities and closely linked to the exhibition programme. The education programme explores ways of interpreting contemporary art through Gallery talks, discussions, workshops and projects for all members of the local and visiting communities. Theme & Ideas for teachers are available.
As a dog-friendly venue we welcome well-behaved dogs at both our venues.

I stumbled across this tonight when looking for something else and found it interesting...I thought maybe you might too.
First, get past the point that it's Martha, and forward to the fact that it's Dan from Heronswood - and note the timing of the dividing. (there was an example photo on the martha stewart living website, somehow it wouldn't let me actively link it; when I'd preview here, it wasn't showing)
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by MichaelB_MAz6 z6 Malden, MA (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 05 at 9:11
Thats actually very interesting, thxs for posting it. I was just looking up something the other day in the AHS enclycopedia and happened to look at the hellebore page where thye mentioned that you can propogate by division, which I have never heard discussed here or anywhere else about hellebores. michael |
Michael, it was interesting to me too since I'd heard Hinkley say they seldom need dividing; dividing for propagation isn't something I've tried. I've added enough hellebores in the last few years though that I can't count on seedlings resembling their parent plants except when purchasing new seed from a breeder...division might just be a possibility for specific plants I'd like to increase. |
- Posted by Greenmanplants UDSA Zone 8 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 8, 05 at 16:44
Division was carried out extensively 20 years or so ago when there were a small number of named clones from Helen Ballard, Eric Smith, Linda Davenport, Robin White and a few others. In the mid 80s and 90s others picked up the breeding reins and seed strains were developed, Elisabeth Strangman, Ashwood and others to the point where it is much cheaper and easier to produce healthy hybrid plants of a known line of breeding to produce reds, greens, yellows, whites, etc then going on to all the doubles and semi doubles.... If you have a particular plant you feel you must divide then you will find instructions here on the archives....simply put, divide just after the flower season before the new growth is coming up, A big plant is quite a task to divide, I only divide when they get to be too big, 20" or so across at the crown, it's a major task, just to lift them and even more work to cut them up, I take 6-8 divisions off the outside of the plant and throw the centre away, it's like a block of wood. Don't bother dividing small plants, you risk losing the divisions. Don't try dividing the species, when you know lots about them they still die on you when divided. The niger hybrids benefit from division every 3-4 years, again when you know enough about these you'll know what and when to do. |
Greenmanplants, thanks for the input, you obviously have some experience. I do note a difference in your timing from the above, where Hinkley recommends dividing during flowering. While we're talking propagating, do you find some years are better for seed set than others? I have a yellow flowering hellebore I had hoped to gather seeds from but find it again not setting seed - second year blooming in my garden, but still a young plant (helleborus x hybridus Heronswood Yellow). |
- Posted by Greenmanplants UDSA Zone 8 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 9, 05 at 2:46
The timing is not so different, if Dan is saying divide when flowering and I am saying just after but before the new growth starts then essentially it is the same season, you could take mine to mean as soon as the flowers are going over, also I would recommend chopping the flowering stems off, you do not want energy going into seed production. Likewise taking the flowers off a little early will save the plant energy, but then you're losing a years blooms that way. Getting good size divisions into well prepared soil gives the best results and plants usually have 100% recovery by the following spring and give another good display. Re seed, If you have mature plants that bloom for 6-8 weeks you will usually find that the early blooms set practically no seed and it is only once the pollinators have mapped the plants and are returning repeatedly with the later blooms that good seed production occurs. Again, early use of the paint brush will boost seed numbers. Cheers Greenmanplants |
Bumping this thread back up in case it might help others. My original hellebore that was purchased 4 years ago is now over 2ft wide and I desperately need to divide it because its taking over that section of my garden. It's interesting to see that some people throw away the center of the plant. I would never have thought to do that. I'm very familiar with separating hostas, is there any chance that I can do the same technique with hellebore and still have success? Basically, just dig and then divide into 4 pieces, replant and then water thorougly until they've adjusted to the new spot. I'm nervous about divinding this big guy because I've babied it for so long that I don't want to do any damage to it. |

Tesla Motors is the most innovative and progressive car company in the world. And Odopod is their digital agency of record. With their new Model S sedan on the way and an IPO imminent, Telsa was preparing to operate at an entirely new scale when they came to Odopod.
Our first assignment: reinvent the brand online. In doing so, Tesla faced some big questions. How do we explain radically new technology in a familiar package? How do we help the uninitiated envision ownership?
Our approach was simple. We created a super clear experience featuring the car as the hero using big, bold images in the context of everyday life. From test driving and buying, to learning about charging and vehicle range, we created a system that communicated the important and sometimes unfamiliar information in digestible real-world ways. Then, we took all of the deep technical features and presented them in a layered, editorial format that enabled users to access progressively more detailed information. Finally, it was important for Tesla to bring owner perspectives into the spotlight so we crafted a dedicated space on the site for owners and enthusiasts.
Our goal is to seamlessly connect all aspects of the Tesla customer experience - from the website to the showroom and on the road.
Test driving a Tesla Roadster was mind-blowing. In a single instant, I learned why people are such huge fans.
It's been thirteen years since we started Odopod.
We've always wanted one thing: to do the best work of our lives. Along the way, we have been joined by an eclectic and exceptionally talented bunch of people who wanted the same thing. Together, we've built a company we love.
Two years ago, Odopod was acquired by Nurun.
The acquisition was a validation of everything we had built. It was also a catalyst for some big changes we wanted to make. We began to tackle bigger, thornier problems and to work all over the world. With Nurun, we've had a series of huge wins and have been producing our best work yet.
That's why we recently decided to retire the Odopod brand, formally adopt Nurun as our name, and take the reins of Nurun's US operations.
We're all still here—same team with the same appetite for great work, only now with different e-mail addresses and more frequent flyer miles. And we're growing, so send your talented friends our way.
Keep an eye out for new work from Nurun. It will be our best yet.

Using The iPad As A Digital Whiteboard (Plus 4 Cool Free Apps To Try It Out)
Posted By Kelly Walsh On August 28, 2011 @ 7:21 am In Free Tools & Resources,Interactive White Boards,iPads and Other Tablet Devices | 93 Comments
I found myself wondering how the iPad might work as a Digital Whiteboard, to project, as well as to use collaboratively. I also wondered if there might be some free apps that provide this kind of functionality (there are so many decent free apps for the iPad).
First step, hit the App Store and search for "whiteboard". I narrowed the search down by selecting Price = "Free" and Customer Rating = "4+ Stars" and found 8 apps. I downloaded each one and spent a little time with them. Four of these apps were pretty cool and definitely worth sharing. The others had drawbacks that led me to eliminate them from further consideration.
Four recommended free digitial white board apps:
This TechSmith app was rated (an average of) 4.5 by hundreds of users. ScreenChomp [2] provides 9 colors but just one pen size. You can import pictures to use as your background. Mostly importantly, you can record your whiteboard session for play back, and the recording will include audio. Recordings can be saved to the ScreenChomps app, and can be shared via email, Facebook, Twitter, and accessed through a URL.
This app is a great example of combining a few simple features to make a tool that is very useful. Here's an example ScreenChomp video I created: http://www.screenchomp.com/t/Z2xnmkfS [3].
ZigZag Board
ZigZag Board [4] had one unique offering among the free tools I looked at, which is the ability to select and resize things you draw (as well as move or delete them). It is similar to some of the other apps in that it has a small selection of pen colors and the ability to adjust the thickness of the pen (but no ability to pull a pic to draw on). ZigZag also allows users to have a "meeting" with the app. The meeting functionality was easy to use – I started a meeting from the iPad app and then joined on my laptop, but I was only able to view the whiteboard session there, I could not actually participate in it (not sure if this works differently when you join from an iPad, we had a network issue and couldn't connect from another iPad).
Unlike most of these other tools, Zig Zag requires the user to create an account. Once you sign up, there's a nice page-by-page tutorial on how to use the drawing tools and how multi-touch gestures work within the app.
SyncSpace [5] allows for a choice of 9 colors, 4 pen thicknesses, and 2 pen styles (solid or dashed), which was more than the other apps provided. Two unique features the app has are its ability to scale the screen to any size (it seems that you can shrink or expand your whiteboard indefinitely), and its synchronize capability, which allows for true collaboration. My son and I tried this and it was easy and worked well. You can also export files as PDFs, post them to Facebook, Twitter, or Campfire (a collaboration app), or email a link to other iPad users.
One down side of SyncSpace is that it did not work in landscape (horizontal) mode, making it a little less ideal for projecting.
The Free version of Jot [6] has a pretty nice set of functionality including: 4 colors and 4 pen sizes, the ability to move a drawing and to add a background, and to add text. You share your drawings via email or save them as a photo. There's a premium app available for $4.99 that provides more colors, more line widths, 5 fonts to select from, and live sharing.
The other four apps shown in the search results I eliminated for the following reasons:
Connecting the iPad to a projector or HD TV
This seems pretty straightforward if you have the right components. I can't wait to try this, and I'll be sure to share my results here.
If any readers have experience doing this, using these or similar apps, please tell us about it. I'm sure there are other decent free IWB-type apps for the iPad2 that I could have found by searching on different words or phrases, so if you know of any, please drop a comment and let us know about them. As always, questions or other comments are also welcomed!

Rocky Mountain spotted fever facts
What is Rocky Mountain spotted fever?Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tick-borne disease caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii. This illness, which is found in North, Central, and South America, is transmitted via the bite of an infected tick. The illness affects the lining of blood vessels (causing a condition termed vasculitis), causing the blood vessels to leak, which ultimately can cause damage to nearly all internal organs. Where do most cases of RMSF occur in the U.S.?
Comment on this
Read 2 Comments
Cases of RMSF have been reported from most areas of the country, and the disease is not restricted to the Rocky Mountain region. In fact, Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee account for over 60% of reported cases. In 2008, there were approximately 2,500 cases reported in the U.S., which is more than twice as many cases as were reported annually in the 1990s.Medically Reviewed by a Doctor on 12/8/2014 Patient CommentsViewers share their comments

About Revvnrg Worldwide
Built Responsibly, Built Globally
Revv Worldwide has committed itself to providing products that exceed expectations and to creating an environment that allows business-minded people to create the lifestyle they have only dreamt about.
Revv Worldwide was founded in 2014 by Scotty Paulson, an industry veteran with 20+ years executive and owner experience. Revv Worldwide is the realization of having learned what people want in a product and need in order to build a business. You can read more about Scotty Paulson on the Revv Leadership page.
While considering the business plan for Revv Worldwide, Scotty Paulson discovered that there were three key issues that needed to be addressed;
- The product needs to be a very high demand item, something most people use, and therefore, would need to buy every day.
- The need to create a business atmosphere and compensation plan that makes it easy for an inexperienced while at the same time designing a process for rewarding professional network marketers.
- It's in our best interest to reduce environmental impact on our plant from the rain forests to our own back yards.
With careful research into the product trends and newest product research on natural ingredients, Scotty took aim at the energy drink market.
Revv products are formulated to supply the consumer with the benefits they desire. However, unlike the other products that feed the multi-billion dollar marketplace of nutritional supplements, Revv products are formulated to deliver superior quality without the ill effects of mega doses of caffeine, sugars, and other assorted chemical compounds. In addition, Revv products include a power pack of nutritional benefits.
The search for the proper ingredient sources led Scotty Paulson to the Brazilian Rainforest. Scotty met with the growers and the local people. He inspected the crops and harvesting process, and interviewed the owners. After a great deal of necessary diligence, Scotty found a grower that not only delivered sustainably grown, organic ingredients, but also shared in his own desire to care for the environment.
Ingredients are grown, harvested, and processed for us with strict sustainability guidelines. Not only are the crops protected from hazardous chemicals and the environment protected from stripping away rainforest in order to create temporary farmland, but also, the local people benefit. Our grower has programs that create local jobs, sustainable farming education, and provides donations to help those that need a helping hand.
Revv Worldwide pledges to make donations to the programs that the growers already have in place. This eliminates the middleman and disburses the money where it will do the most good. Scotty Paulson also took the time and effort to look at other high environmental impact parts of the business.
- Currently all of our paper products (flyers and brochures) are printed in sustainably grown eucalyptus paper. Eucalyptus trees grow very rapidly, so the manufactures don't feel pressured to strip mine trees.
- Our manufacturing facility uses the latest technology in solar panels to power the entire plant.
- We encourage consumers to filter tap water and use a reusable water bottle instead of bottled water.
- Strict recycling and power conservation programs are in place at the corporate office.
Revv Worldwide remains a debt free company and we are shipping products to the USA and all of its territories and Canada.
Scotty's proven track record, experience, and understanding of how to grow a network marketing company allows him to provide a compensation plan that far exceeds what other companies offer.
Revv Worldwide proudly stands behind its products and team members. We look forward to standing behind you, every step of the way, as you fulfill your dreams!

Medications and Other Therapies Used to Treat Eczema
Topical (applied to the surface of the skin) medications play an integral role in controlling the signs and symptoms of eczema, and moisturizer is an essential part of most treatment plans. Systemic medication (medication that circulates throughout the body and is taken orally or given by injection or infusion) also may be prescribed.
Dermatologists use medication and other therapies to:
A patient (or parent) may be instructed to use one medication or a combination of therapies. Research is showing that combination therapy (use of two or more therapeutic agents) can in some cases increase effectiveness and reduce side effects. Medications and other therapies that dermatologists may use to treat eczema include:
MEDICATIONS Antibiotics Skin affected by eczema frequently becomes infected. A topical or systemic antibiotic may be prescribed to clear the infection.
Treatment Tip Using a medication more frequently, or in greater amount than prescribed, will not increase effectiveness and can trigger a side effect. If uncertain about how often or how much to use, be sure to ask your dermatologist.
Research demonstrates that an oral antibiotic can be highly beneficial when the skin becomes infected or a secondary infection develops. Oral antibiotics are frequently prescribed when a patient has atopic dermatitis because individuals with this condition often have Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium that causes "staph" infections, colonizing their skin. This bacterium is frequently the cause of secondary infection. Oral antibiotics should be taken exactly as prescribed.
What it does: Kills bacteria causing the infection.
Usage: This depends on the antibiotic prescribed and severity of the infection. It is especially important to use antibiotics as prescribed. Patients should not skip doses nor stop using the medication as soon as they feel better. Doing so may allow some of the bacteria to remain and possibly become resistant to the medication.
Antihistamines When itching is severe, antihistamines may be prescribed. While there is little scientific evidence that either sedating or non-sedating antihistamines are effective in relieving itch and other symptoms, sedating antihistamines can be useful for patients experiencing significant sleep disruption due to a constant, unbearable itch and other symptoms. It is believed that the improvements associated with antihistamine use are due primarily to the patient getting a restful sleep.
What it does: These pills do not clear eczema. However, sedative antihistamines may promote a restful sleep, and this restful sleep is believed to decrease the severity and improve the patient's quality of life.
Usage: This depends on the antihistamine and severity of the eczema. Antihistamines should be taken exactly as prescribed. While research shows that antihistamines are safe and not associated with significant adverse effects, even in very young patients when taken as prescribed, taking a higher dose than prescribed can be dangerous, especially for young children.
Calcineurin Inhibitors Pimecrolimus and tacrolimus belong to a class of drugs called calcineurin inhibitors, which effectively reduce the inflammation of atopic dermatitis. Available in topical form by prescription, these two steroid-free medications are the newest treatment option for atopic dermatitis and a much-welcomed addition because they do not produce the side effects, such as thinning skin and loss of effectiveness, associated with long-term use of topical corticosteroids. As such, calcineurin inhibitors can be used for longer periods.
Currently, pimecrolimus and tacrolimus are FDA-approved for treating atopic dermatitis in patients who are two years of age or older and cannot use or have not responded to other treatments for eczema. Both medications can be used for short-term and intermittent long-term treatment. Tacrolimus received FDA approval for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in December 2000. Pimecrolimus received approval in December 2001 for treating mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
In clinical trials, side effects were mild and temporary. Some patients using pimecrolimus experienced a mild to moderate temporary sensation of warmth or burning at the application site, headache or cold-like symptoms. When applying tacrolimus, some patients also experienced stinging and burning upon application. The more severe the eczema, the more likely the patient was to experience these side effects. The burning sensation was usually confined to the area being treated and tended to subside after the first week.
What it does: Topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs) reduce inflammation. Scientists believe that these medications work by selectively modifying or suppressing the over-response that occurs in the immune system, which causes the inflammation.
Usage: The recommended dosage for both pimecrolimus and tacrolimus is to apply a thin layer twice a day to the affected area(s) until the skin clears.
Who should not use: Neither medication should be used by a patient with a weakened immune system.
Avoid sunlight and other UV exposure: Patients should avoid exposure to sunlight, tanning beds, sun lamps and treatment with ultraviolet (UV) light while taking these medications. Sun protection is essential. Be sure to avoid the midday (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.) sun. Even when going outdoors for a few minutes sun-protection practices must be followed. Wear loose-fitting clothing that protects the treated area from sunlight, apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to all exposed skin 20 minutes before going outdoors, use a sunscreen for the lips that has an SPF of at least 15, and wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Pregnancy: Women who are pregnant, breast-feeding or may become pregnant should discuss safety with their dermatologist. Research shows that the oral form of tacrolimus crosses the placenta and appears in breast milk, making it inappropriate for use by pregnant or breast-feeding women.
Coal Tar Coal tar has a soothing effect on inflamed skin and has been used for many years to treat atopic dermatitis. Today, coal tar comes in numerous preparations, and some of these are available over-the-counter. Best results are typically seen when use is supervised by a dermatologist. While effective and free of serious side effects, patients often prefer other treatment options because coal tar has an unpleasant odor and stains just about everything it touches.
What it does: Reduces inflammation and itching.
Usage: Coal tar preparations are available in many forms, including lotion, shampoo and a preparation that can be added to the bath. All forms should be used as directed by a dermatologist.
Corticosteroids Available both over-the-counter and by prescription, topical corticosteroids have been used since the 1950s to treat eczema. Today, dermatologists use topical corticosteroids more than any other medication to alleviate the signs and symptoms of eczema. Also known as glucocorticoids and steroids, corticosteroids come in a variety of strengths, ranging from mild to extremely potent. The strength prescribed depends on the patient's age and medical history, severity of the eczema, where on the body the medication will be used and the size of the area(s) to be treated. While many patients have concerns about using corticosteroids due to potential side effects, the likelihood of a side effect occurring is rare when corticosteroids are used as prescribed. Side effects, such as thinning skin, dilated blood vessels, stretch marks and loss of effectiveness, tend to occur when high-potency corticosteroids are used over long periods of time.
In severe cases, intramuscular injections of a corticosteroid or short-term therapy with a corticosteroid in pill or liquid form may be prescribed to provide relief from chronic itching. These therapies also may be used to prevent major exacerbations of atopic dermatitis. However, systemic corticosteroids are used sparingly in adults and rarely in children due to the possibility of:
Systemic treatment is not recommended for long-term use. Fortunately, significant improvement is usually seen within a few weeks, and the remaining signs and symptoms can be successfully treated with topical agents and lifestyle modifications.
What it does: Corticosteroids tend to rapidly and effectively reduce inflammation, which relieves itching.
Usage: Topical corticosteroids are applied in a thin layer to the skin as prescribed and used for limited periods of time. To prevent potential side effects, care should be taken when applying this medication around the eye, to skin that is diapered or bandaged and to body folds. Systemic corticosteroids may be prescribed in a pill or liquid form or given as an injection.
Pregnancy: Pregnant and breast-feeding women should not take systemic corticosteroids because these medications cross the placenta. Children who may have been exposed to systemic corticosteroids before birth (or while being breast-fed) should be monitored for suppression of adrenal and pituitary hormones. A woman who is pregnant or becomes pregnant during a course of systemic or high-potency topical corticosteroid therapy should discuss safety issues with her dermatologist or obstetrician.
Note: A corticosteroid should only be used as prescribed. This medication should not be used more frequently or for a longer period of time than directed, and a corticosteroid should never be shared. This last fact is especially important for parents to know. Since atopic dermatitis tends to run in families, a parent with atopic dermatitis may believe that using a corticosteroid already in the home will help a child. This should never be done without consulting a dermatologist.
Cyclosporine Cyclosporine is a potent immunosuppressant used to prevent rejection of a transplanted heart, kidney or liver. It also is used to treat severe cases of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. In fact, oral cyclosporine has been used for many years to treat severe atopic dermatitis that does not respond to other treatment. In clinical trials, patients taking cyclosporine experienced prompt relief from the symptoms of eczema; however, rapid relapse usually occurs soon after the patient stops taking the medication. Long-term maintenance therapy tends to gives patients satisfactory remission.
A number of side effects, including lowered immune response, limit the use of oral cyclosporine. Due to potential side effects, each patient's kidney function and blood pressure must be checked before the drug can be prescribed, and these need to be monitored regularly during therapy. Other side effects include increased risk of developing cancers, headache, tingling or burning sensations in the arms or legs, fatigue, abdominal upset and musculoskeletal or joint pain.
Topical preparations of cyclosporine are not available due to the medication's inability to effectively penetrate the skin.
What it does: Reduces skin inflammation by inhibiting T-cell (a type of white blood cell) activity.
Usage: Take only as prescribed.
Interferon gamma Not traditionally used to treat eczema, interferon gamma has been investigated in a small number of studies. Findings indicate that while injections can provide significant relief, a high overall rate of side effects was demonstrated. Interferon gamma is a protein produced by the human body that is involved in the regulation of the immune system and inflammatory responses.
What it does: More research is needed to fully understand how interferon gamma works. It is believed that interferon gamma regulates immune responses; thereby, preventing the overactive immune response that leads to inflammation of the skin. Usage: Take only as prescribed.
Mycophenolate mofetil Approved for preventing organ rejection in transplant patients, research suggests that the medication may effectively treat severe atopic dermatitis in adults. Potential side effects include increased risk of cancers and infections.
In animal studies, mycophenolate mofetil has been shown to cause birth defects. Women are advised to use effective contraception before and during therapy and for six weeks after stopping therapy with mycophenolate mofetil.
What it does: Prevents the exaggerated, one-sided immune response that leads to inflammation.
OTHER THERAPIES Cold Compresses A cold compress is a cloth dipped in ice water that is wrung out and applied directly to the skin that itches. When first placed on the skin, the itching or pain may become more intense; however, this soon subsides.
What it does: Helps relieve inflammation and itching.
Usage: If your dermatologist believes cold compresses are beneficial, the parent or patient will be instructed in how to use and how often to use. Moisturizers Most eczema treatment plans include use of moisturizers, also called emollients, since one of the symptoms of eczema is an intense almost unbearable itching.
Contrary to popular belief, moisturizers do not add moisture to the skin. Rather moisturizers serve as a barrier that reduces water loss from the skin. This is why dermatologists recommend that a moisturizer be applied after bathing while the skin is still damp. This "locks in" the moisture from the bath or shower. Moisturizers come in many, many forms. Ointments are best for very dry skin. Creams and lotions are used to treat mild to moderate eczema. Most moisturizers are applied directly to the skin; however, some are added to a bath.
Since many moisturizers contain added preservatives and fragrances that can irritate the skin, people with eczema should consult a dermatologist to find appropriate products.
What it does: Acts as a protective barrier to prevent water loss from the skin, which prevents the dry skin that leads to itching.
Usage: Moisturizer should be applied to the skin or added to a bath.

UPPER RHINE VALLEY, EUROPE, December 9, 2012 – So the shopping malls have got you down and you've lost your Christmas spirit. Here's an idea where the season still lives in a vibrant feast for the senses.
In Europe you can enjoy the magic of Christkindlemarkt or, as we say in English, a Christmas Market.
The best way to make your way through the holiday markets in Europe is by train. Base yourself in two or three cities and do day trips to smaller villages or work your way through a region and visit the markets as you go.
A popular area for the Christmas Market experience is the Upper Rhine Valley which includes Alsace. Many towns along the route may already be familiar, but, as a destination, the Upper Rhine Valley is rapidly becoming a favorite. And there's no better time than Christmas.
Each market has its own character and personality, but in their individual way, they all feel like Christmas is supposed to feel. For travelers this is one time that inclement weather can add to the experience. Be it cold and gray, or even snowing, the smells of hot spiced wine and grilled sausages manage to merge into a feast for the senses.
Board a train in the Upper Rhine Valley, a region that extends along the Rhine River between Basel, Switzerland and Baden Baden, Germany with France in between, and you will encounter three cultures, superb food, live Christmas music and more treasures than you ever imagined.
As a sample here are five markets along the Rhine which can easily be done in a week to ten days.
Basel, Switzerland: Situated at the confluence of Switzerland, France and Germany, Basel may just be the best kept cultural secret in Europe with more fine museums per capita than any city its size on the continent.
Local trams are guaranteed to make a visit to the city's Christmas Markets the ideal way to shake off jet lag and start shopping. Visitors to Basel, regardless of their level of accommodations, receive a card valid for free use of local public transportation for the length of their stay.
With two markets, one large and one small, this year-round destination is a great whet your Christmas appetite before venturing into France. (myswitzerland.com)
Colmar, France: Less than an hour by rail from Basel is Colmar with its myriad of half-timbered houses in an old town that transports you back in time. This is Christmas as it used to be.
Featuring five small markets, each with its own theme, Colmar charms visitors with a unique blend of illumination and architecture that seems straight from the pages of Hansel and Gretel.
Vin chaud, the French version of hot, spiced mulled wine is a main attraction for shoppers braving the cold in search of unique arts and crafts produced by regional artisans.
Colmar is situated along the Alsatian Wine Route and justifiably considers itself the capital of that wine region.
Also popular is "breadele" which are tiny homemade, Alsatian Christmas cookies. They are a fantastic stocking stuffer if you can get them home before you eat them all.
Strasbourg, France: When Strasburg's Protestants broke away from the Catholic church in 1529, it was traditional for St. Nicholas, the patron saint of children, to bring them gifts on his feast day of December 6.
Since Protestants have no saints, only Catholic children received presents in December. Over the decades however, Martin Luther, the Protestant Reformer gradually tried to diminish Catholic influence by developing a jolly, white bearded character known as Father Christmas (Santa Claus) who would bring gifts for children during the time of the winter solstice.
By 1570, the concept of a Christmas Market to bridge the gap between St. Nicholas Day and Christmas evolved. The rest is history and Christmas Markets have been popular ever since.
Today, Strasbourg has become a true festival of lights with 11 market areas and some 330 stalls.
With its central location, Strasbourg is an ideal place to use as a base when traveling by train.
Freiburg, Germany: Freiburg is the place where the sights of Christmas yield to the sense of smell. Vin chaud becomes "gluewein" and though still hot, still spicy, still good, it is much stronger. With a glass of gluewein and a sausage hot off the grill, you have mastered Christmas in Germany.
Most of Freiburg's market is located on a square beside the medieval cathedral at the edge of the historic old town. Freiburg is a walkable, university city where the liveliness of youth bring a special ambience to its festival.
Baden Baden, Germany: Baden Baden is a great place to end a Christmas Market tour and to make another base.
This upscale cultural hub in the Black Forest of Germany features the second largest opera house in Europe and a casino that rivals the ambience of Monte Carlo. There are also several museums located in the municipal park that leads to the elegant ambience of its Christkindlemarkt.
Though less lively than some of the other markets, Baden Baden is the ideal way to end a journey and relax before returning home. With two public spas, the Friedrichsbad and the CaracallaTherme, Baden Baden is famous for its health and wellness treatments
The large market area is uniformly designed with elegant, upscale ambience in a subdued atmosphere.
Just 40 minutes by high speed German ICE to Freiburg, Baden Baden makes an excellent multi-night destination. (germany.travel)
European Christmas Markets are an escape from the often harsh realities of the holidays
Just "train yourself," and when you return home with all your shopping finished, you will most assuredly sleep like a Yule log.

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum: innovation broke down yet another long-held myth. Myths are powerful. They become common knowledge. Everyone clings to them. They shape the way we thing about the world and the decisions we make. I'm not talking about Theseus, Paris, Helen and a thousand ships here. I'm talking about RFID reading through metal.
Pat King from Technologies ROI (TROI) knows a thing or two about busting myths. A materials chemist by training, he has become one of the most innovative RF engineers around through decades of experience and an unwavering faith in bulls-eye empiricism. That faith doesn't rely on myth; it focuses on needs, opportunities, experimentation and results. It leads to innovation.
The Armored Tag line is TROI's latest innovation: a passive RFID tag with the tag encapsulated under a metal dome. Aside from the trick that reader antennas facing the metal surface can capture the tag ID behind the metal, it has the practical benefit of being rugged. And, it is specifically designed to be mounted on other metal surfaces. The Armored Tag's (I'm told the first of several variations) rugged exterior and metal surface makes it almost seem camouflaged when applied to metal assets.
We didn't have a formal benchmark scheduled, but ODIN labs still wanted test the tag to verify the claims. The short summary of the testing: it works. The read range isn't as long as other TROI tags due to the attenuation and shadowing caused by all of that metal, but it is more than sufficient to work with a variety of common use cases. We have a good idea why it works based on our engineering experience with RFID pipe tagging. However, we'll let you ask Pat for his official answer.
Does this mean metal no longer impedes RFID performance? Not at all. Metal still has properties that reflect RF waves and can effectively prohibit tag reads in certain use cases (laptops in stored at the bottom of metal file cabinets comes to mind). However, it shows that some ingenuity and good engineering can produce useful new products and bust a myth in the process.
I recall the RFID World conference in Dallas in 2006 when Impinj demonstrated that passive RFID tags could be read while floating in bottle of water. In fact, many tags will work in the same scenario but Impinj was the first to see the marketing value of the demonstration. Despite the evidence, people still tell me that RFID can't read around water. Others tell me that passive RFID can't read on metal. It is true that read performance is typically less in both cases than in more benign RF settings, but both statements are false, persistent myths. I am sure I will be told several times this year that passive RFID can't read tags through metal. I will be happy to set the record straight and use the new TROI Armored Tag as my evidence.

Flags are a type of pin that players can collect, however, they are never hidden. All of the flags are found in the back of the Penguin Style catalog. Players usually buy them to show where their country of residence is or where they are originally from. They are placed in the top left hand corner of a Player Card where a pin would usually be. They used to be available to members only for 20 coins each. However, as of February 4, 2010, all penguins, including non-members, can buy flags.
- December 1, 2005: flags are released and are available to all members.
- February 4, 2010: flags become available to non-members as well.
- May 6, 2010: in issue 238 of the Club Penguin Times, the flag icons were used in a message. The first letter of a country was represented with its flag.
- June 3, 2011: the flags of Argentina, Dominican Republic and Ecuador are added.
- April 5, 2013: Romania's flag is added.
- March 3, 2014: the flags of Greece, Croatia, Czech Republic, Pakistan, Latvia, Slovenia, Gibraltar and Malta were added.
- An Antarctica flag exists, but this is a bait item which cannot be obtained and attempting to get it will get you banned.
- Every so often, more flags are added.
- The flags' name does not include the word "Flag" in it. Therefore, when buying a flag (e.g. the Italian flag), the buying message strangely says "Would you like to buy Italy for 20 coins?".
- There was a glitch in 2007 which often occurs when a penguin's membership runs out; if the penguin was wearing a flag at the end of its membership, the flag stays on their Player Card. This glitch no longer works as flags can now be purchased by any penguin.
- Different flags were used to code a message written by Herbert in issue #238 of the Club Penguin Times where the flags correspond to the first letter of the country they stand for. [1]

Why Jane Austen has been an enduring presence for two centuries
Before there was Downton Abbey, there was Derbyshire, the county upon which stood the fine grounds of Pemberley. It's the house whose brooding, handsome master, Fitzwilliam Darcy, turned Colin Firth into an instant star, capturing the hearts of viewers around the world when BBC first aired its miniseries, Pride and Prejudice, almost a generation ago.
But before Firth, the real credit goes to Darcy's creator, author Jane Austen, who lived and wrote more than a century before TV was ever invented.
This day, this week, marks 200 years since readers first clapped eyes on what was to become one of the most memorable first lines in English literature: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."
Thus begins the story of Darcy, that single man in possession of a good fortune, good looks, and a good deal of arrogance, and Elizabeth: smart, beautiful, headstrong, and as good as penniless. By all accounts, (for you Downton devotees out there) their love story seems as doomed as Tom Branson and Lady Sybil's.
What unfolds instead is a romance that spans the ages and remains as captivating as anything Shakespeare put his name or pen to. In the last decade, Pride and Prejudice has spawned spin-offs as diverse as Hollywood hit Bridget Jones' Diary, to Bollywood homage in 2004's Bride and Prejudice, to bestselling mystery author PD James's 2011 tribute Death Comes to Pemberly to the regrettable Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Why the staying power?
Maybe it has to do with the fact that even two centuries after her heroines leaped from the depths of Austen's imagination and onto paper, hair perfectly done, embroidery in hand, we still identify with them.
After all, what could be more contemporary than Elizabeth Bennett's take-no-crap attitude, her biting sarcasm, her moxie? Lizzy has the guts to turn down Mr. Wrong (in the form of a bumbling Mr. Collins) when Mr. Right is nowhere in the picture. And when he does show up, she makes Darcy work for her affections, holding out for love when poverty dictates she really ought to be marrying for money.
Be it 1813 or 2013, seeing the smouldering tension between two lovers who haven't quite figured out they're mad about each other, well that's timeless too.
In some ways, Pride and Prejudice shows how far women have come, or haven't.
Lizzy's headstrong independent isn't exactly seen as a selling point on the marriage market or at home, and she knows it, telling her sister Jane in the BBC adaptation that she'll, "end an old maid, and teach your ten children to embroider cushions and play their instruments very ill".
It highlights the desperate conditions of women of the 1800's. Barred by class from earning their own income, barred by law from inheriting property, they lived an anxious, frantic existence, where a proper young lady's full time occupation was to find a rich husband. You think the bar scene tiresome? That online dating is only for drips? Imagine your only chances at economic security and upward mobility depending solely on your success at making small talk at a few dances every year.
Fastforward 200 years. We have the vote, we have property. We have reproductive rights and laws protecting us from gender discrimination in the workplace. We build careers, and essentially live our lives the way we choose to. And yet, for those of us still single, our loved ones still seem awfully curious about when we plan to marry.
How pervasive is Jane-mania? Consider that five years ago, some 550 delegates came to Vancouver to attend a convention of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Or that this anniversary is being marked with a 12-hour Internet broadcast of fans and academics and even celebrities reading the novel in real time to millions around the world.
One wonders what the snarky rich dowager in Pride and Prejudice, Lady Catherine De Bourgh of Rosings Park, would think about Lady Violet, the Dowager countess of Grantham. I think Lady Catherine would seriously disapprove of Lady Violet's practicality. I think Lady Violet wouldn't care.
It's why, when love conquers all, Lady Catherine isn't invited to the wedding of her nephew Darcy to the lovely Elizabeth. And it's why we continue to love Pride and Prejudice, all these 200 years later.

Emily Bronte
Happy 200 YEARS!!!
The following is an excerpt from a letter which Emily Bronte wrote to G.H. Lewes, dated January 18, 1848:
"Can there be a great artist without poetry?......Miss Austen being, as you say, without 'sentiment', without poetry, maybe is sensible, real (more real than true), but she cannot be great."
But if Jane gives you joy, and is agreeable to your digestive system, then dig in.

January 29, 1997 - Seattle -- America Online today agreed to refund monthly service fees, make cancellation easier, and stop advertising for February until the network and system problems caused by the introduction of their new flat rate pricing plan are resolved.
Washington and 35 other states today entered into the voluntary agreement with AOL after thousands of customers nationwide complained about repeated busy signals and problems accessing AOL's advertised "unlimited service." Many of the nearly 50 Washington consumers who filed written complaints with the Attorney General's Office in the past few months were also unable to reach AOL telephone operators to cancel their service or ask for a refund.
"AOL's marketing clearly got out ahead of its technological capacity," said Attorney General Christine Gregoire. "The increased demand generated by their new pricing plan virtually locked some people out of the system."
In agreeing to the relief, AOL expressly denied any guilt or that any laws enforced by the Attorneys General were violated. The agreement requires AOL to provide customer refunds to its subscribers who had difficulties accessing their service during the December 1996 and January 1997 billing periods.
In addition, AOL must notify its subscribers of its cancellation methods, provide several ways for customers to contact them, and maintain adequate customer support operators to process all the refund and cancellation requests in a timely manner.
Customers requesting a refund or wanting to cancel their service should contact AOL by calling 1-800-827-6364 or faxing information to 1-801-622-7469. Consumers who want a one-month automatic credit should write to AOL P.O. Box 1600 Ogden, Utah 84401. Consumers who seek relief must choose between the automatic one-month credit and the refund policy which contains offsets for usage.
Consumers must complain directly to the company in order to be entitled to refunds. Those who have already complained in writing to the Attorney General will have their complaints forwarded to the company. Refunds or credits must be requested within the next 120 calendar days.
The refunds, which will be provided upon request to AOL customers billed for services during December 1996 and January 1997, will be given based on the following guidelines:
$19.95 Unlimited & $9.95 Bring Your Own Access Plan Subscribers
$9.95 Metered Access Plan Subscribers
$4.95 Metered Access Plan Subscribers
Prepaid Discounted Service
Free Trial Offers
AOL must also provide cancellation information online through a keyword search on "cancel" and it its Terms of Service. The toll-free telephone number and address to contact AOL to cancel a subscription must be included on all promotional materials, including software provided to prospective members.
