The struggles, the happy times, the horrible times and the daily pace of life of the men and women serving for the country in the Middle East are not as easily observed by the public as it was during the Vietnam War.
America's 11-year war has been called the "invisible war," from the lack of attachment the American people have to the battles being fought from afar.
That's why, for many young veterans, the hardest part of their service is coming home.
"Over there you don't have to think - you're told what to do all the time," said Richard Jackson, a soldier with two months remaining in his active duty with the U.S. Army. "When you come back you have different responsibilities, bank accounts. It's a different set of responsibilities abroad but it's very structured and instinct takes over, that one thing that makes it hard to come back."
Jackson, 30,, who was on the front lines in Iraq, is being medically discharged and next month.
Though doctors have had difficulty classifying his medical condition, flashes from explosions, multiple concussions and exposure to stress and extreme elements have caused the vision in his right eye to degrade.
"My vision fluctuates and the retina is inflamed," Jackson said. "They (his doctors) don't know what caused the inflammation but the surgery they want to do is eliminate the inflammation which will limit fluctuation of vision loss."
"If it gets really bad, I have to wear a path on my right eye," he added.
Right now Jackson is in the transition phase at Fort Carson, going through resume writing and job fairs to prepare for life back at home.
"More than likely this will be the end of my service," Jackson said. "It's been a big part of my life for so long, I'm ready to move on."
As he begins to make more decisions back home, Jackson said his goal is to help people.
"I realized this is where my passion is headed," Jackson said. "I'm a pretty energetic guy, but I missed my whole twenties where you figure out who you are, so I'm going to take a step back and figure it out. I love working outdoors, being in the mountains and feeling the sun - I might join the Red Cross for disaster relief because I want to travel and make a difference."
As soldiers return home, they go through a program of reintroduction to daily life where they ease back into the routines at home and in the community.
It all starts with a health screening, including a mental screening for post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. Soldiers inflicted with PTSD and TBI show symptoms including having difficulty adapting to life in the states.
Soldiers with PTSD or TBI, which have similar symptoms, may feel on edge with reoccurring nightmares, have a loss of interest in daily life and feel numb while experiencing anger and irritability, according to a self assessment test through the Science Daily.
The most important support that veterans receive comes from the community.
"Everyday for me is Veterans Day - in my 20 years of service, I've lost 178 friends. I think about them everyday," said Tom Torres, local veteran and founder of Forward Operating Base Summit County.
FOB Summit County, was started in 2006 to aid returning soldiers in their reintroduction to life in the United States. As part of the program, Torres hosts get-aways in Summit County with food and lodging covered and activities like skiing, hiking, fishing and camping included to ease stress.
"What these warriors have gone through the last 11 years is pretty intense, it's pretty ugly," Torres said. "The younger veterans have it the worse. I call them kids because they're all in the early to mid-20s and have already had seven or eight deployments. They still want to be in action because that's really all they know. They need community support."
It's by showing returning heroes "the normal life," that Torres hopes to work with the community to provide support for our troops here and abroad year round.
"Sometimes these guys feel like they're in a petting zoo, and it can be really tough to learn how to function in today's society after being gone so long," he said.
Torres remembers one veteran that didn't know where to look for help.
"I knew one particular veteran that lived in his basement with severe PTSD and he did not come out," Torres said. "It's days like this that the community thinks about our veterans, but we need a year-round effort to be there for our guys."
Mike Pribil served in Afghanistan for six months before returning to his wife and two children Oct. 26. For him, being away from his family and explaining to his children what his career entails is the most difficult part of serving in the military.
"My daughter asked me why I would volunteer for something like this," he said. "There are a couple of ways to explain it, but it's still hard for her to understand it. I believe in service to this country and I saw deployment to Afghanistan as an opportunity to give back, and if you know what you're getting into, you can be safe over there."
Pribil said he missed his family most while he was on a mission during the Katrina disaster in New Orleans.
"I was deployed to assist with Katrina victims for seven weeks, and though it wasn't as dangerous down there, missing the little things like soccer practice and being able to help my wife was difficult to deal with," he said.
Pribil joined the Army National Guard as a medic, with dreams of becoming a doctor, but life took him down a different path. After college, he enrolled in officer school. From there he served as a commander of his base while overseas.
From his experience, it was he and his team that served as a support system when life got lonely on duty.
"There's a lot that folks don't hear about back home - about the lives lost, the inner struggles, but there is a strong camaraderie among soldiers," he said. "It's more difficult for young soldiers, but we help serve as mentors for them. We always kept busy to avoid that depression and thinking too much. There are always struggles toward the end, seeing the finish line gets everyone anxious, but it's a team effort to stay in the right mind set."
Summit County's Rotary Club has been one of the many champions in the community for assisting veterans while abroad and when they return home.
Liz Wickert, director of the Troop Support Program, sends care packages abroad containing high-end snack foods with superior nutritional value and toiletries.
Typically the packages are sent every two months and include toiletries and high-quality nutritional food.
The cost of compiling the packages is $57 with an additional $13 for shipping overseas, bringing the value of the packages to $70.
With troops coming back to the United States from Afghanistan, the Rotary Club of Summit County is re-focusing their efforts to offer new services to them when they return.
"We're in a bit of limbo at the moment with a lot of soldiers returning," Wickert said. "We're having to modify our program by focusing on helping to rehabilitate when they get back here, physically and mentally."
The need for care packages will pick up with the holiday season nearing, as it does year after year.
"The holidays can be a challenging time for our soldiers away from home," Wickert said. "They need to know that everyone back home is thinking about them and the care packages are a great way to reach out, whether you have a family member, friend or don't know anyone serving overseas."
The Rotary Club is currently looking for soldiers to send care packages to. The Rotary troop support program is seeking information from residents for recipients of packages.
The community can make monetary or package donations by sending them to the Rotary Club of Summit County Troop Support Program, P.O. Box 4401 Frisco, CO 80443.

I have since installing every version of PS3 Media Sever had 1 main problem,which is I am sure simple to rectify ,I have waited for several updates to see if they solved the problem but they have not. The Problem is That once I shut my PC down (Vista HP) and then re boot the server cannot see the Ps3 Trace shows Java.10 unable to find
If I switch Ps3 Server off then do a quick re install all then works and Ps3 is found straight away.I have searched the Ps3 Folder to see what is there after reinstall but can see no difference.
I am able to work around this problem in general by not switching PC off just using Sleep mode,but would like to solve and correct If anyone has had a similar problem and found the solution I would most grateful for the method .

Pumpernickel Bread (BBA Challenge)
With all that said, I felt no need to take more than this one obligatory photo for this post. I mean after all, since I was 200% sure I was going to hate it, why waste the film, right? (That saying actually meant something back in the day before digital cameras, but I do realize that it means nothing now...LOL)
Anyway, it turns out that I LOVED this bread. Shock my shorts and call me a Levis-lit liar, but I really, really enjoyed this bread. I'm now regretting that because of my 200% certainty of hatred, I only made half the recipe. I nibbled on this bread with cheese and mustard all last week and it was delicious to the very last slice. I'm also thinking this would be a great bread to use with my Hanky Pankies recipe and will keep this in mind for when the holidays approach next winter.
With only one more sourdough recipe left, I'll admit that I'll be glad to leave this section of the book. Next up: Sunflower Seed Rye. (Care to place a bet on how long I'll drag my feet before making this one?)

So you were 200% you would hate the 50% of the recipe you made, and now I'm guessing you are 100% sure you will make it again? That makes perfect sense to me. =)This bread does look fantastic though. Love the use of these different grains (are they grains or seeds?) in bread-baking.

Ms Meanie: LOL, that math actually made sense to me! They're grains, whole ones in fact, which pleases me greatly as you know.

Mags, I actually got the "why waste the film" comment too! Maybe because I'm on your side of fifty!
I love pumpernickel and am still so impressed on all you breads. Laughing about your scepticism too! Lucky I can't do math!

Of course I was curious and had to click on "Hanky Pankies"! Not sure if I'm horrified or fascinated? Sort of like a car accident where you look even though you don't want to. Velveeta and sausage?? Probably tastes great!!
Your pumpernickle looks wonderful. I'm proud of you for following through (even if it was only 50%!!). You are a true BBA Challenger.

Nice one on the 200%! I would never have thought it possible either! The bread looks loverly, and I bet it was really delicious. It's funny, I thought the loaves came out a bit small, but then again, I tend to bake huge breads every weekend.

I found another group that is going through the book. They are on recipe #19. I'm on #26 so I'm going to just give them the link to my blog posts that I've done until they get to #26 and I'll join in. It is here http://akuindeed.com/?p=3870 if you want to check it out.

I grew up in housing projects in the barrio in East Los Angeles. Though the majority of my community consisted of hardworking people from strong nuclear families, gang violence was common, poverty was ubiquitous and drug addiction was a destructive force.
These social ills are not unique to the community that produced me, however; they are pervasive in Oakland as well.
Good fortune has smiled upon me, though. Through God-given talents, perseverance, support from loved ones and luck, I've been fortunate enough to overcome the aforementioned ills.
Life's been good, but it wasn't easy. I was the first in my family to graduate from college and moved to Oakland with the promise of a better life.
As a whole, I've been fortunate and feel blessed to have experienced and accomplished what I have so far.
Since moving here, I launched a career in public policy, I met my remarkable wife, earned an MBA from UC Berkeley, and now work in Silicon Valley. We've grown our family and even purchased a home in Oakland. Yet despite all these blessings, I'm still wondering whether Oakland is a good place to raise my children.
We currently live in what I first deemed to be a quiet community with a majestic natural landscape in an urban environment, an upgrade from the harsher neighborhood south of Highway 580 where we previously lived.
However, since moving here late last year, this new community of ours has shown me some of the worst Oakland has to offer:
Illegal dumping is as common as the weekly Waste Management pickup. Home-invasion robberies seem to be the norm here, and if you include break-ins when people are not home, the number swells to six in six months in a two-block radius.
I've lost my peace of mind and spend countless sleepless hours contemplating the worst while fearing the safety of my family. I don't remember ever feeling this way in my barrio -- and that was a barrio.
I'm seeing myself beginning to transform from a progressive, open-minded optimist eager to improve the world to a bitter, angry, frightened and narrow-minded man. Oakland has done this to me. For every time I have opened up my heart to Oakland, it just disappoints me.
I used to want to embrace this community and make it my own, especially since the Bay Area has given me so much, but it seems that with every great thing the Bay Area rewards me, Oakland takes something away.
I used to think I could make a difference, but now I am largely indifferent. Right now, I really don't care how much Oakland deteriorates. Problem is, we live here.
But as my children begin to enter school age, I have zero interest in exposing them to an upbringing that defined mine. I had no choice, but they do. I don't have to raise them here.
There are other communities that are better suited for raising children where you don't have to expose them to the elements that have prevented Oakland from becoming a world-class city.
Unfortunately, I can't say goodbye to Oakland yet, but I look forward to doing so.
Hector Preciado is an Oakland resident.

U.K. Government Bonds Take Strain; Yields Peep Above France's
U.K. government bonds extended their recent weak run Friday, with the rate of return on gilts pushing above that on similar French bonds for the first time since April 2011 despite the U.K.'s higher credit ratings.
Gilts have been falling steadily since November, when the Bank of England decided not to extend its program of buying these bonds to support the economy.
Now, traders and investors are looking ahead to a heavy run of fresh gilt issuance in the coming weeks. Some are selling existing gilt holdings to fund fresh buying, adding to the pressure on outstanding bonds.
Gilts have also fallen faster than U.S. and German bonds since policymakers reached an eleventh-hour deal on the U.S. fiscal cliff, easing fears that the world's largest economy would lurch back into recession and damping demand for the government bonds considered safe by investors. Typically, these three sets of bonds–considered safe retreats in times of stress–move in lockstep. Right now, gilts are singled out for particular weakness.
Ten-year benchmark gilt yields climbed by 0.04 of a percentage point to 2.11% in early trading Friday, a whisker above the equivalent French yield, according to data from Tradeweb. The two countries' yields ended 2012 at 1.82% and 1.99% respectively.
"Yields of around 2.10% appear to be much closer to what we would consider as fair value in context of the lack of Bank of England quantitative easing buybacks and the forthcoming supply schedule," said interest rate strategists at the Royal Bank of Scotland.
While gilt investors have been bracing themselves for a series of auctions, euro-zone markets have this week been awash with cash from heavy bond repayments.
As recently as August, gilts traded almost at parity with German Bunds, considered the euro zone's safest harbor, but investors now demand a premium of almost 0.6 percentage point over Bunds to hold U.K. 10-year debt.
The move brings triple-A rated U.K. bonds into line with those of France, which in November was stripped of its top rating by Moody's Investors Service, the second major credit rating firm to do so.
Uncertainty over a consultation on regulations governing pension funds–a key buyer of longer-dated gilts–as well as the threat the U.K. could lose its own coveted triple-A rating are also factors in the relative weakness of gilts, said Sam Hill, an interest rate strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
Nevertheless, a further rise in yields could tempt BOE rate-setters to reconsider their stance on further asset purchases, reversing some of gilts' recent relative underperformance, Mr. Hill added.
"The market doesn't [currently] expect more QE, but keeping yields low is still part of the [BOE's] policy," he said.

Southern Traditions owner downsizing
Published: Wednesday, January 8, 2014 at 6:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 8, 2014 at 6:10 p.m.
After 47 years in the floral business, Sandra Walker, owner of Southern Traditions Florist in Hendersonville, says she's ready to downsize. By the end of the month, she will close her storefront on Seventh Avenue and move operations to a building beside her Hendersonville home, where she will continue to take phone orders.
"About 90 percent of my business is done over the phone," she said, so she doesn't anticipate much of a change in routine. "I won't be providing any wire service orders, but I will be taking care of my local customers," including orders for individuals, funeral homes, hospital deliveries and special arrangements for events such as weddings.
Her customers are what she will miss the most, she said, but "it's a good move for me" and for her retail neighbor, Old Towne Market, which will be leasing the space where Walker has been for the last 17 years.
Reflecting on her career, Walker said it's "unbelievable how much the floral business has changed" over the decades.
"The wire services have taken over the industry. That's who's making the money these days," she said. "Then there's competition from the Internet and grocery stores. Every holiday, it seems every gas station has roses."
Roses "used to smell, but the growers hybridized the smell out of them so we don't get roses that smell anymore," Walker explained. "The only roses that smell anymore are garden roses."
Nevertheless, tube roses remain one of her favorite flowers, along with gardenias, peonies and lavender lilacs. Her flowers are sourced from South America, Holland, Australia, Thailand and other countries.
Throughout her years of spreading joy with flowers, Walker said she's run up against everything. There was the time when a wedding photographer's car broke down, "so I jumped right in and started taking pictures" until the photographer arrived. "They turned out pretty good," she said.
Then there was the time a pastor was at dinner in Asheville instead of officiating a wedding in Hendersonville.
"His secretary had messed up the date of the wedding, so he didn't know" he was missing a wedding, Walker said. "When things like that happen, you just deal with them. Looking back, some of those moments were funny, but at the time they weren't."
Walker, 63, is a Hendersonville native who has served on numerous boards and volunteered for countless nonprofits. She is the treasurer of the Historic Seventh Avenue District and precinct chair for the Henderson County Republican Party. Over the years, she has been recognized by several local organizations for her commitment to the community and has been profiled in various magazines for her work.
A mother of three and grandmother of seven, Walker said she's looking forward to spending more time with her grandchildren and traveling.
"I'd like to take a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands, take a cruise to Alaska, and see the rest of the country" in an RV, she said.
Yet she still plans to operate her business. "I had a customer tell me the other day, 'We won't let you retire,'" Walker said with a laugh.
"Being part of the community is so fulfilling," she added. "I have so many loyal customers and many of them I consider friends. I've been doing (flower arranging) since before I was a junior in high school. I have a customer who has been with me for 47 years. My customers are like family to me."

STOCKTON - Officers deployed a police dog to help them apprehend a fugitive who tried to hide in the attic of a central Stockton home Thursday, authorities said.
Officers went to a home in the 400 block of East Hawthorne Street at 4:24 p.m. to find Aaron Kain, 23, who was wanted in connection with several weapons crimes, police said. Kain fled into the home's attic in an attempt to avoid the officers, authorities said.
Officers sent a dog into the attic to locate Kain, who was bitten several times before falling through the ceiling into an adjoining duplex, police said. Kain was taken to a hospital for treatment before being booked into the San Joaquin County Jail. He was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest and weapons crimes, authorities said.

Islander Fans,
How's it going? Well it's been a long travel week for your Islanders as we traveled to Texas State on Tuesday and then to the Nac on Friday to face SFA. Good thing our next two games are at home. Hope to see you there!
On Friday we had practice in the morning at 8:30 a.m. instead of waiting until we arrived in the Nac later. After practice everyone had some time to leave and take a shower before we left at 11 a.m. for the six hour bus ride! It seemed like it took forever to get there because we were stuck in traffic in Houston for about 30 min. lol. But while we were on the bus we watched the movies, "Bridesmaids" and "The Other Guys." I think "The Other Guys" was a cop movie but I really don't know seeing as though I was asleep before we left Corpus lol! I was sleepy!
We arrived in the Nac at around 6 p.m. and I was able to lay down and relax for the first time after a bus ride. We had pizza from Papa John's that night! You would've thought we hadn't eaten in days the way we were complaining about how hungry we were. EVEN I WAS HUNGRY (can you believe it lol). We also had a little film session at 7:15 p.m. before we all went off to our rooms and did our own little thing before the pizza came, but me, I was working on my Physiiiics quiz. Grant it I got a 90 on it, but I still didn't wanna do it while we were on the road lol.
We headed to shoot around at 9:30 a.m. to prepare for the game at 6 p.m. After shoot around we went out to eat, but I really don't know what I ate lol but it was good! All I know is, it was a sirloin...but after that I don't know.
We had a really good first half of the game, going up by as much as 14. Going into half we were only up by 1. I don't know what happened after halftime, but things went sour, and we ended up losing 69-57. That was the longest bus ride back to Corpus I have had in my whole career here!
But we are back in action on Wednesday, Feb. 1, against Nicholls State at the American Bank Center at 7 p.m. Come out and support your Islanders! We need you in those seats cheering us on as we begin finishing up the first round of the West Division of conference play. If we haven't said it yet, on behalf of your women's basketball team, we thank each and every one of you all for coming out and supporting us in our season thus far! We hope you will continue to be a part of Islanders Athletics for the rest of the school year! Thank You!
*Fun Fact - No. 2: Marquesha Anderson-Sparks' (Q) desire is to be a dancer!!!! She can actually dance too lol J
Well catch you all in about a week or so when we head out to Huntsville on Feb. 11, to play Sam Houston State again.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-- Senior Sara James barely held her emotions at bay Sunday inside the stoic Stanford locker room after a 75-56 defeat to Connecticut in the Final Four at Bridgestone Arena.
"It's my last game of basketball I'll ever play," said James, who started but only played for 2 minutes.
James is part of a senior class that includes Chiney Ogwumike, Mikaela Ruef and Toni Kokenis, who had to medically retire because of concussions.
The players left an indelible mark on underclassmen in leading the Cardinal (33-4) back to the Final Four a year after getting eliminated by Georgia in the Sweet 16.
"Without the seniors it's going to be completely different next season," junior Bonnie Samuelson said.
While Ogwumike and Ruef are expected to play professionally, James plans to enroll in graduate school at Columbia University to earn a master's in pediatrics nursing.
"There has been some super highs and super lows," the guard said. "But I wouldn't change a thing."
Chiney Ogwumike didn't let the final minutes get to her emotionally.
"I wasn't really freaking out," she said.
Ogwumike's assessment of the Cardinal's game: "We played about 25 minutes of good defense. We needed to play 40 minutes."
But she found one positive, saying Stanford was more physical than Connecticut.
"People think we're soft but we showed them," Ogwumike said.
"It never felt like a blowout," said Ruef, who missed all five 3-point shots. "I'm sad, but I'm not disappointed. I wouldn't have done anything different. I would have taken those shots, played the same defense. I don't have any regrets."
The disparity at the free throw line bothered coach Tara VanDerveer. But her players had trouble challenging Connecticut's big front line of 6-foot-5 Stefanie Dolson, 6-4 Breanna Stewart and 6-3 Kiah Stokes.
UConn averaged only 11.8 fouls a game -- lowest in the country. A team with a six-player rotation committed only 10 fouls against Stanford.
Auriemma expects his team to be ready after surviving Stanford.
"We played one of the best games that we played all year, given the fact that we beat a really good team," he said.
The coach hopes the storyline brings more attention to women's basketball.
"Our sport probably doesn't have enough significant moments," Auriemma added.
He called the Fighting Irish "far and away the best team that I've seen this year. No one else is even close."

Burr Oak Savanna Monthly League and Mini Tournament
I think this year I want to try something a little different. I noticed that every weekend there is a tournament some where that the good players go to. I want to set something up for the average player and give the good one a chance to win also. What I'm going to have is a week long tournament that will give you points toward a league that will go for 6 months once a month. These are not exact numbers but should give you an idea . Any one can enter once or up to 6 months. Cost will be $5 plus course fee of $3 per month . We will play from the 10 to the 17 of the month. Need to have at least 3 in a group and use the first round of the day. Other tournaments or league play cannot count. At the end of the 7 days I will add all scores and for the 1 to 4 winner will get part of the pay off of $1 of entry. All player will get 2 points toward the league play the winner 10 points, 2nd 7m, 3rd5, 4th 3, 5th 2, 6th1 . All points will be added up at the end of league and the winners of the league will get part of the total dollars brought in plus $1 per entry for the year from Burr Oak Savanna.
Example two players A and B. A plays twice win one 2nd another total points 21. B plays 5 times 2nd, 4th, 3rd, total 25 points If we have 25 on a week payoff would be 1-$12, 2-$6 3-$4 4-$3 If we average 15 a month for league ,payoff would be 1-$200 2-$100 3-$70 4-$30 5- $20 not exact but give you an idea.
I'm sure I will get some different opinions on the that is why I'm putting it up now

GAIT's Gourmet Beer Tasting and BBQ Buffet at the Riverview Inn will be Sunday, August 11 at 4 p.m. with professional presentations to highlight each beer before tasting and will be followed by the Riverview' BBQ. All proceeds go to replenish the "Jean Work Scholarship Fund."

those in need, GAIT strives to afford them the care they need through the Jean Work Scholarship Fund.
During her lifetime, Jean Work, a dedicated and beloved past instructor and board member
of GAIT, supported riders with financial difficulties with her own money so they could
participate in these programs. After her passing, Wendy and Alan Kaplan created the the scholarship, which GAIT endeavors to replenish through fundraising events such as the beer tasting and BBQ.
People must be 21 or older to participate in beer tasting. The Riverview Inn is located at 400 Shay Lane in Matamoras. Ticket pricing: Adults (21+): $40, Kids (10 -20): $25, Kids (5-

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)
The cause of
atopic dermatitis isn't clear, but it affects your skin's ability to hold moisture. Your skin becomes dry, itchy, and easily irritated.
Most people who have atopic dermatitis
have a personal or family history of allergies, such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis) or asthma.
Things that may make
atopic dermatitis worse include:
Atopic dermatitis starts with dry skin that is often very itchy. Scratching causes the dry skin to
become red and irritated (inflamed). Infection often occurs. Tiny bumps that look like little blisters may appear and ooze fluid or crust over. These symptoms—dryness, itchiness, scratching, and inflammation—may come and go. Over time, a recurring rash can lead to tough and thickened
Mild atopic dermatitis affects a small area of skin, isn't very itchy, and usually goes away with moisturizer. Severe atopic dermatitis covers a large area of skin that is very itchy and doesn't go away with moisturizer.
People tend to get the rash on certain parts of the body,
depending on their age. Common sites for babies include the scalp and face (especially on the cheeks), the front of the knees, and the back of the elbows. In children, common areas include the neck, wrists, legs, ankles, the creases of elbows or knees, and between the buttocks. In adults, the rash often appears in the creases of the elbows or knees and on the nape of the neck.
A doctor can
usually tell if you have atopic dermatitis by doing a physical exam and asking
questions about your past health.
Your doctor
may advise allergy testing to find the things that trigger the rash. Allergy
tests can be done by an allergist (immunologist) or dermatologist.
Mild atopic dermatitis can be treated at home.
But if your symptoms are bothering you and aren't getting better, see your doctor. Getting medical treatment early may keep your symptoms from getting worse.
In severe cases, your doctor may prescribe pills or give
you a shot to stop the itching. Or you may get ultraviolet (UV) light treatment
at a clinic or doctor's office.
Learning about atopic dermatitis:

Living with atopic dermatitis:
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
The cause of
atopic dermatitis isn't known. But most people who have it have a personal or family history of allergies, such as
hay fever (allergic rhinitis). The skin
inflammation that causes the atopic dermatitis rash is
considered a type of
allergic response.
Itching and
rash can be triggered by many things,
The main symptom of
atopic dermatitis is itching. The itching can be
severe and persistent, especially at night. Scratching the affected area of
skin usually causes a rash. The rash is red and patchy and may be long-lasting
(chronic) or come and go (recurring). The rash may:
How bad your symptoms are depends on how large an area of
skin is affected, how much you scratch the rash, and whether the rash gets infected.
The areas most often affected are the face, scalp, neck, arms, and legs. The rash is also common in areas that bend, such as the back of the knees and inside of the elbows. Rashes in the groin or diaper area are rare. There may be age-related differences in the way the rash looks and behaves.
For adolescents and adults, atopic dermatitis often improves as you get older.
Atopic dermatitis causes repeated attacks of itching
and rash that can become quite severe. It is most common
in babies and children. Some children outgrow it. But many people, especially teens and adults, continue to have
relapses or to have the condition, although not as severely.footnote 2 Also, a person may get atopic dermatitis
as an adult.
The condition may affect how children feel about themselves. A child may feel strange or different from other children because of the rash or restrictions in diet. The rash may make a child feel unattractive.
Some people who have atopic dermatitis
get patches of lighter skin. This most often happens on the face, upper arms, or
shoulders. Chronic scratching or rubbing of the skin can also lighten or darken
skin color. When the condition has been successfully controlled, skin color returns to normal over time.
Skin infections can happen more often in people with atopic dermatitis. The skin may become red
and warm, and a fever may develop. Skin infections are treated with
herpeticum results when atopic dermatitis is infected with the
herpes simplex virus. This is the virus that causes
cold sores and
genital herpes. In this condition, the rash blisters
and may begin to bleed and crust. You may also have a high fever. This is a
serious infection, so contact your doctor right away.
The major risk factor for
atopic dermatitis is having a family history of the
condition. You are also at risk if family
members have
allergic rhinitis, or other allergies.
Call your doctor if you or your
child has
atopic dermatitis and:
For the diagnosis and treatment of atopic dermatitis,
consult with a:
food or other allergies are suspected to be a factor
in atopic dermatitis, you can see an
allergist (immunologist) for specialized evaluation.
For more information, see the topic
Food Allergies.
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Most cases of
atopic dermatitis can be diagnosed from a medical
history and a physical exam.
Your doctor may recommend
allergy testing to find out what might be causing your atopic dermatitis. Allergy testing is most helpful for people
with atopic dermatitis who also have respiratory allergies or asthma.
Testing can also help find out if certain foods, such as eggs or nuts, are making the condition worse. Talk with your doctor about testing for allergies before making dietary changes.
If a specific allergen is
thought to trigger your atopic dermatitis, you and your doctor will discuss how
to remove it from your diet or environment while
closely observing and recording your symptoms.
Treatment for atopic dermatitis depends on the type of rash you have. Most mild cases can be treated at home with moisturizers—especially skin barrier repair moisturizers—and preventive care. Most of the time, rash and itching can be controlled within 3 weeks.
For more serious rashes, you will need to see your doctor for treatment. These rashes include:
For severe rashes, talk to your doctor about using bleach baths and wet wraps.
Getting medical treatment early may keep your symptoms from getting worse.
For rashes that don't get better with medicines or moisturizers, treatment may include:
For itching, treatment may include antihistamines. Also, taking baths with colloidal oatmeal (such as Aveeno) or applying wet dressings to the rash for 30 minutes several times a day may help.
In severe cases, hospitalization may be needed. A short
stay in the hospital can quickly control the condition.
Counseling may be helpful for children and adults with atopic dermatitis. Talking with a
counselor can help reduce stress and anxiety caused by atopic dermatitis and
can help a person cope with the condition.
If your baby is at risk for atopic dermatitis because you or other family members
have it or other allergies, these steps may help prevent a rash or reduce its
Home treatment for
atopic dermatitis includes taking care of your skin and avoiding things that irritate it.
Medicines for
atopic dermatitis are used to help control itching and heal the rash. If you or your
child has a very mild itch and rash, you may be able to control it without
medicine by using home treatment and preventive measures. But if symptoms are
getting worse despite home treatment, you will need to use medical
treatment to prevent the itch-scratch-rash cycle from getting out of
Topical medicines, such as creams or ointments, are applied directly to the skin. Other medicines, such as oral corticosteroids or antihistamines, are taken as pills.
Other treatment for
atopic dermatitis includes light therapy and
complementary medicine.
Severe atopic dermatitis may be treated by exposing
affected skin to
ultraviolet (UV) light. There are two types of
ultraviolet light, called ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB).
Too much sun exposure and light treatment (such as with
UVA or UVB treatments) increases your risk of skin cancer.
Complementary medicine may be helpful for treating atopic dermatitis. Some small studies showed benefit from these treatments. But there isn't clear scientific evidence to show that they help. Examples of complementary medicine for atopic dermatitis include:
If you are interested in these treatments, talk to your
doctor. Ask about the treatments' use, their effectiveness, and any possible interactions
related to other medicines you are taking.

Once the favourite tipple of the Great British pub-goer, national lager sales have been slowing down in comparison to cask ale which is now seeing growth for the first time in 20 years with more younger, female drinkers joining the real ale brigade. In a bid to convert even the most loyal lager fan, Battlesteads has turned to Hexham-based Allendale Brewery to serve Adder Lager - one of the North East's few true cask conditioned lagers. Slowly fermented in a traditional lager style at zero degrees for eight weeks with not a carbonated keg in sight, even the most ardent ale-lover cannot dispute its cask credentials!
Cask Ale Week is led by Cask Marque and this year has a 'try before you buy' theme. Battlesteads will be serving four real ales and a lager in a bid to encourage new cask ale fans and show that there is a beer for everyone.
Battlesteads' owner Richard Slade joked: "Cask ale is now regarded as our national drink and here at Battlesteads we are proud to support local breweries during Cask Ale Week. We're even catering for our lager drinkers this time – by attempting to wean them onto a cask conditioned lager!"
If, after all the sampling and sipping, customers still aren't swayed by the nation's favourite drink, then they can join in the fun by selecting a limited-edition ale-inspired dish from Battlesteads' home-cooked menu. In honour of Cask Ale Week, chef Eddie Shilton has created Mussels in Magus – a twist on Moules Mariniere, where the mussels are cooked in Battlesteads' most popular real ale Durham Magus.
In addition to Magus and Adder Lager, Battlesteads will be serving: Lovely Nelly and Jack the Devil from Cullercoats Brewery, Tyneside; and a German-style beer from Geltsdale Brewery, Cumbria.

This month, the Waterfowl Advocate interviewed Sen. Debbie Stabenow, chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
DU: You were recently awarded a 2013 Wetland Conservation Achievement Award for your role in the passage of a 2012 Farm Bill in the Senate. Why is the farm bill important?
Sen. Stabenow: The farm bill is the most significant investment we make as a country in conservation, so passing a bipartisan bill is one of the most important ways we can fulfill our commitment to clean water, land and air. With more than 70 percent of the nation's land in private hands, the farm bill is an opportunity to bring wildlife-benefiting conservation practices to farm- and ranchland across the country. Healthy wildlife habitats and clean, fishable waters are not only good for our environment but they also support hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreation that benefits our economy and creates jobs. Sportsmen and women contribute nearly $650 billion to the economy and support more than 6 million jobs.* Hunters and wildlife enthusiasts recognize the crucial role private lands play in our habitat conservation efforts and sustainable recreational opportunities for future generations. We passed a strong farm bill last year, with broad bipartisan support, and we will continue our efforts this year to write a farm bill that makes conservation a top priority.
*Specifically, hunters and anglers contribute $90 billion to the economy. The entire outdoor recreation community contributes nearly $650 billion to the U.S. economy.
DU: Tell us about the function of the conservation title in the farm bill.
Sen. Stabenow: The conservation title ensures that we will have healthy soil and clean water for decades to come. And at a time when farmers are growing more food on fewer acres, protecting our land and water resources has never been more important. In the farm bill we passed in the Senate last year, we consolidated and streamlined the conservation title into several areas of focus – voluntary programs that support conservation on working lands, the Conservation Reserve Program that removes highly erodible lands from production, regional partnerships to address specific conservation challenges and a new simplified easements program focusing on long-term land protection. We took expiring programs like the Wetlands Reserve Program and Grassland Reserve Program, which create and protect the nesting cover and food for migratory birds and other wildlife, and created a streamlined program that will continue these goals long into the future. In addition, we extended the Voluntary Public Access program that helps open private lands for hunters. With your help, we worked together to actually strengthen conservation in this climate of budget-cutting. By strengthening conservation programs, we can ensure we have a safe and abundant food supply, clean water and thriving wildlife populations for generations to come.
DU: As chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, what do you think is the future of the farm bill in the 113th Congress?
Sen. Stabenow: We absolutely need to pass a farm bill. The Senate did its job last year, passing a bipartisan farm bill with an overwhelming majority. Unfortunately, the House of Representatives let the farm bill expire, and Congress passed only a partial extension of the 2008 Farm Bill. I am committed to getting a full, five-year farm bill passed this year. The Agriculture Committee has a long history of bipartisanship, and I have no doubt that my colleagues, both Democrats and Republicans, will once again join me in passing this critical piece of legislation. The key issue is whether the House of Representatives will act.
DU: How can DU members help with the farm bill and other legislative issues?
Sen. Stabenow: It's critical to make your voice heard! Ducks Unlimited is an important partner and leader in implementing our farm bill conservation programs and has led the way in educating the public about the need for a strong farm bill. You are the experts on the ground, and we need your continued input and expertise. Most importantly, we need you to contact your representatives and senators to tell them your stories about how farm bill programs have benefitted not only wildlife habitat and agricultural production but communities you live in, and to hold their feet to the fire until action is taken. Working together, we have been able to protect millions of acres of land and restore wildlife populations, and with your help, we will be successful in passing this critical legislation.

As I write this article on Earth Day 2013, I cannot help but think back to earlier this month when I had the opportunity to get out and enjoy nature in the southern Missouri Ozarks where the flowering dogwoods orange puccoon (Lithospermum canescens), rose verbena (Glandularia canadensis), wild hyacinths (Camassia scilloides), and fire pink (Silene virginica) were at peak blooming stage.
For all those birders reading this column, the summer migrating birds have arrived in Ozark County; having seen a pair of ruby-throated hummingbirds, and heard a summer tanager as well as a distant whippoorwill.
Although spring in Rolla is slightly behind the southern Missouri Ozarks, it is not far off. In the next few weeks, don't forget to go out and enjoy the annual display of spring wildflowers in the Ozarks.
Back in 2009 I stumbled upon a native plant on family property in southern Missouri called Aureolaria grandiflora commonly known as large flowered false foxglove.
It was found growing on a cedar choked chinkapin and white oak forested slope. Large flowered false foxglove is an important indicator plant of an historical oak savanna habitat.
An Ozark savanna is an open grown oak dominated habitat where at least 50 percent of the available sunlight hits the forest floor. This plant gave a glimpse into the past historical habitat which had been overrun by a drove of eastern red cedar trees.
After contacting our local private land conservationist, we took part in a Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program grant to restore two glade and savanna habitats back to pre-settlement conditions.
A great deal of hard physical work went into this project, but over the past four years these acres were transformed and the results have been astonishing.
With the last controlled burn of the grant conducted this past February, what was initially a dark, dry woodland dominated by eastern red cedars, has become a diverse habitat flourishing with animal and plant life.
As much as the project has been a success, it is not yet complete, but still evolving with time.
Admittedly, in the beginning, I almost lost hope in the project after the eastern red cedars were removed and debris was scattered everywhere.
But experts told me to be patient, assuring me that time would prove how beneficial the project would be to the surrounding ecosystem. I cannot express how right they were.
Being an adviser to the Meramec Hills Chapter Master Naturalist organization, native plants and habitat restoration is what I enjoy the most.
No matter if you are interested in land restoration or planting a native pollinator garden, creating a native habitat for wildlife is one step homeowners and businesses can take to help be good stewards of the environment.
The next time you are planning a flower garden, try planting native plants from a local nursery, and if you have property and are interested try contacting your local Missouri Department of Conservation Private Land Conservationist to see how you can improve your land for wildlife.

- Dec 18:
- Saratoga couple still recalls joys and tribulations of winning the lottery
- Mega Millions: San Jose and state won't hit tax jackpot despite local winner
- Mega Millions lottery: Atlanta winner used family birthdays to pick her numbers
- Mega Millions lottery: Waiting for winner of jackpot ticket bought in San Jose
Because of an editing error, a story about the winning Mega Millions lottery ticket sold in San Jose incorrectly reported how much the winner will receive before taxes. The amount is $173 million.
SAN JOSE -- Thuy Nguyen got the royal treatment when he showed up for work a half-hour early Wednesday.
Throngs of cameras greeted him, along with cheers from neighboring store owners. And he is just the one who sold a near-record winning Mega Millions ticket. Everyone, including Nguyen, was left with the $324 million mystery: Who is San Jose's latest multimillionaire, and what the heck are they going to do with all that money?
Nguyen, who just four months ago took over the East San Jose store where the ticket was sold, said it is indeed a very lucky thing to win $1 million for selling the big ticket. Then he promptly went to work, mainly selling more lottery tickets to customers hoping for a second bright bolt of luck to strike.
A woman in Georgia stepped forward as one of two winners, becoming a newly minted lottery queen. But so far in San Jose, no one has surfaced to claim the crown and a seat on the throne.
"Some people wait a while and get their ducks in a row," said California lottery official John Reading. "Others come right away, ready for that money."
With no winner for competition, by early afternoon Nguyen was oversaturated with attention.
Striding with pronounced swagger out of Jenny's Gift Shop on Tully Road after tending to an unending line of lottery customers, the 37-year-old father of three took a long drag off a cigarette and said he was "too tired to talk" and "needed a break" before being enveloped by a group of men for a round of high-fives and some manic arm-waving.
Nguyen, who has lived in San Jose for about 20 years, said he intends to use his winnings to buy a house for his wife and kids.
It was the consensus of his fellow shopkeepers that the ticket is likely in the clutches of one of the lottery gamblers who gather daily in the courtyard of the little terra-cotta mall.
"They used to play Chinese chess there, dozens of guys," said Peter Lai, who owns a neighboring pho restaurant. "But they cracked down on that months ago. They still hang out, groups of guys, and go in to buy lottery tickets and Scratchers, then come out and scratch."
Nguyen said that he has a lot of these regulars, who come in multiple times a day to re-up on a chance for a lucky break. He said that's the only reason he was still manning the ticket machine Wednesday afternoon.
"I don't think of them as customers," he said. "They come here so much they're my friends. They play every day, they want to play today, I can't stop."
Sunny Leong is one of those courtyard regulars, but he said there are a lot of other people who come through and buy tickets, and he doubted it's a familiar face who won. He added that he's not surprised no one came forward immediately.
"They're going to be scared -- now you got money -- a lot of people are going to be scared by that," he said.
Antony Nguyen, who was working the counter of the health store beside Jenny's Gift and Kids Wear bought tickets -- like most of the merchants in the mall -- and heard about where the ticket was sold before he learned the numbers.
"We were saying, whoever doesn't show up today, that's who won," he said.
The jackpot was believed to be the second-largest in U.S. history, after a March 2012 jackpot that reached $656 million. Tuesday's jackpot reached $648 million, touching off a buying frenzy in the days and hours before the drawing.
California lottery officials said $28.5 million worth of Mega Million tickets were sold on Tuesday alone, reaching 31,000 tickets a minute in the last hour of sales.
If the San Jose winner decides on a lump sum payment, rather than 26 annual checks, it'll mean a cash out of $173 million before taxes. The winner has one year to step forward.
In Atlanta, a 56-year-old married woman came forward to claim her half of the pool, which ends up substantially lower because her state taxes winnings, unlike California. But Ina Curry, who picked the numbers through a combination of family birthdays and the lucky number 7, will still get about $120 million.
And unlike Nguyen, the Georgia shop owner doesn't get to share the wealth -- there's no such payout in that state.
Nguyen will get his money by the end of January, lottery officials said.
"That way he can pay Uncle Sam next year," said Mona Sanders, a lottery official who presented Nguyen with an enormous -- but fake -- check for $1 million early Wednesday.
"This will be considered a lucky store, and people will come from no telling how far to purchase tickets at this store," Reading said.
Judging by the steady influx of customers on Wednesday, that was an accurate assessment. In the span of about two hours, Tessie Torino went in three times, twice alone and once with a pair of cohorts.
"I have a feeling I'm gonna be the next one," she said. "For every earthquake there's an aftershock."
