Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Should Allergies Keep Your Child at Home?
Allergy Medicines and Treatments for Children's Allergies
The best allergy treatment for your child depends on what kind of allergy symptoms your child has, and how severe they are. Options include a variety of over-the-counter and prescription medications. These include antihistamines, decongestants, and steroids. If your child has asthma, he or she may be treated with inhalers. These medicines provide relief by calming inflammation and opening air passages. All medications have possible side effects, so it's important to work with your child's doctor to find the right allergy medicines.
If the usual medications don't provide enough relief for your child's allergies, allergy shots -- immunotherapy -- may be considered. Allergy shots work by exposing someone to increasing amounts of an allergen, such as pollen or mold, over time. This makes the immune system less likely to react to the substance.
Allergens at School
Children can develop allergies to many different things. And there are some allergens that are often found in classrooms. These include:
- Chalk dust. This allergen can cause asthma attacks in children with allergies and asthma. If your child is allergic to chalk dust, he or she should sit a good distance away from the board. Also tell your child to be sure to wash his or her hands right away after writing with chalk.
- Dust mites. Tiny as they are, dust mites are public enemy number one when it comes to chronic symptoms of allergies and asthma. They thrive in humid environments. For that reason, air conditioning can help keep them at bay.
- Mold. The spores produced by molds that grow in damp, dark places can be dangerous for children with allergies and asthma. Make sure the school practices proper clean-up procedures if mold occurs. The school should also promptly fix any leaks that occur.
- Pet dander. Dander is the dead skin cells that are sloughed off by animals. It can cause some children to have uncomfortable symptoms, including itchy eyes and stuffy nose. A child with allergies may also develop skin rashes after touching certain animals. Caged classroom pets are not usually a problem for children who are allergic to dander they breathe in. But if your child is allergic to dander, be sure your child's teacher knows it is not okay for your child to hold or help care for the classroom pet.
- Pollen. Your child may be allergic to pollens produced by various plants. Open windows in the classroom may aggravate these allergies. Ask that windows be kept closed and air-conditioning used. Pollen allergies can also put a serious damper on recess and sports practice. Making sure your child takes the appropriate medicine ahead of time will help prevent watery eyes, stuffy nose, and other symptoms.

Regional News Briefs
Man held in teen's death to undergo exam
The south side man accused of shooting his 13-year-old neighbor in May will undergo a psychiatric examination to determine whether he is competent to stand trial, the judge in the case ruled Monday.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner ordered the evaluation for John H. Spooner at the request of Spooner's attorneys. The report is due Feb. 4, according to online court records.
Defense attorneys Franklyn M. Gimbel and Steve McGaver had sought a change of venue for the case, arguing that Spooner could not get a fair trial in Milwaukee County. Wagner denied that request but agreed to push the trial date back, from March 11 to May 6.
Spooner faces a single count of first-degree intentional homicide in the shooting of Darius Simmons on the sidewalk outside their homes in the 1900 block of W. Arrow St. in May. Spooner suspected the boy of burglarizing his home and stealing shotguns two days earlier.
Marathon to cap runs at Pettit this weekend
The 5th Icebreaker Indoor Marathon will be held Sunday at the Pettit National Ice Center.
The event caps a weekend of running events at the indoor oval. The events include a 5-kilometer run on Friday night, a half marathon and a marathon relay on Saturday, and the full marathon on Sunday.
All of the events are sold out.
"This year will be our biggest yet," said race director Chris Ponteri, who founded the event in 2009.
The Revolution Natural Running 5-kilometer run will begin at 7 p.m. Friday. The Performance Running Outfitters Half Marathon on Saturday will have two heats with 130 runners in each. Sunday's marathon, featuring 130 runners, will begin at 8 a.m.
The track at the Pettit National Ice Center is 443 meters, which makes it the largest indoor running track in the United States. Runners will need to complete 95.4 laps for the marathon and 47.7 for the half marathon. The 5-kilometer run is about 11 laps.
Meanwhile, registration began Monday for the 33rd Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon, presented by the Badgerland Striders. The event is open to the first 3,100 runners. The event is Oct. 6.
Greendale woman charged in death
A Greendale woman has been charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle after striking a pedestrian with her Cadillac Escalade and killing him in October.
Josephine E. Sardina, 31, had marijuana in her system when she fatally struck David Budge, 54, of South Milwaukee about 3 p.m. in the 4500 block of W. Loomis Road in Greenfield, according to a criminal complaint.
If convicted, Sardina faces a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison, a fine of $100,000 or both.
Budge was walking south on the east side of the road in the parking lane when he was struck by Sardina, who was attempting to enter a gas station, the complaint says.
Sardina said she thought she had hit a parked car, the complaint says. She denied being on her cellphone, but phone records show she sent a text message at 2:58 p.m. and received and read one less than two minutes later. At 3:02 p.m., she called 911 to report the accident.
Sardina told police she remembered seeing Budge walking, but he was not in the path of her car.
"She had indicated that she had seen the pedestrian walking as she was driving and that she just glanced at him before she hit him and that she did not know what happened," the complaint says.
A blood test revealed the presence of THC, the active ingredient of marijuana, and Sardina told police she smokes it because she suffers from back problems, the complaint says.
Manitowoc teen dies in crash with milk tanker
A 16-year-old Manitowoc boy was killed Monday when the car he was driving collided with a milk tanker near Reedsville in Manitowoc County, according to the Wisconsin State Patrol.
The teen, whose name was not released, did not stop for a stop sign before the car struck the tanker shortly before 3:30 p.m., the state patrol said.
A 47-year-old Chilton man driving the tanker suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, the agency said.
Domestic abuse cases decreased in 2011
Domestic abuse incidents in Wisconsin decreased 4.7% in 2011, from 29,941 to 28,539, according to a report released Monday by the state Department of Justice.
Nearly half the victims were between the ages of 18 to 29 and arrests were made in 71% of the incidents, according to the report.
The report also found:
Among victims, 23,080 were female and 7,224 were male. Among offenders, 23,024 were males and 6,349 were female.
The most common charge that resulted from the incidents was disorderly conduct, followed by misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property.
Sentences for nearly half of those convicted included some type of financial condition, such as the payment of restitution, court costs and/or a fine or forfeiture, and 19% were sentenced to jail time.
Dog at Superior shelter going home to Florida
Superior - A dog at a Wisconsin shelter will return to Florida after more than a year away.
Endo is a jowly, drooling, 115-pound mastiff. A microchip in his shoulder told shelter workers in Superior he had a home - 1,500 miles away.
In May 2011, Endo broke through the fence around Denise and Tommy Hartzog's yard in Cape Coral, Fla. She said they presumed an alligator soon got him.
Officials at the Animal Allies shelter say it appears someone in Florida found Endo, couldn't find his owners, then took him to Minnesota.
That person later gave Endo to someone in Duluth, who then gave him to someone in Superior, where Endo escaped again. He was brought to the shelter Jan. 2.
Animal Allies plans a send-off Wednesday.
Shelter struggling with homeless surge
Green Bay - Officials at a downtown homeless shelter asked Monday for help dealing with an overflow population.
St. John the Evangelist Homeless Shelter officials called a news conference and asked for new partners in serving a homeless population that has surged in recent months.
Mayor Jim Schmitt and other city leaders have criticized St. John's for exceeding occupancy limits with 80 or more residents since opening for the season on Nov. 1. The city has cited the shelter for violating its city permit and issued a court summons that could result in fines of $500 a day.
DNR may seek views on wolf-dog hunting
Madison - The state Department of Natural Resources wants to ask outdoor lovers what they think of new wolf-dog hunting rules.
DNR officials are set to ask the agency's board on Jan. 23 to include the rules on the Conservation Congress' spring hearings questionnaire.
The draft rules would allow hunters to train dogs on wolves during daylight hours during wolf season and in March.

As she found out in her first court appearance, 45-year-old Ila Voyles will have to answer for murder.
But a probable cause affidavit shows she's already given a version of what happened behind the door of 1421 Corona Street last Thursday night. The night her 19-year-old son Johnny Velasquez died.
During an interview with police detectives, Voyles said she was in her bedroom asleep with her brother in law.
She claims her son repeatedly came in asking for cigarettes, keeping her awake.
Voyles says she finally took a knife from the kitchen to show him "she meant business." After telling him once more to leave she says she "poked" him one time in the chest.
The report goes on to say Voyles called her daughter Angela and said "I stabbed him. He's bleeding," asking, "What do I do?"
After talking to her uncle, the other man in the house that night, Angela called 9-1-1.
Paramedics took Johnny to the hospital, where he died of the wounds his mother says came from her own hands.
Voyles' brother in law, Rick Martinez, also quoted in the affidavit said the relationship between mother and son was strained, claiming Johnny harassed Ila, calling her names and arguing over chores.
Voyles has a past, which includes domestic violence and abuse charges.
Johnny Velasquez was buried Tuesday.
Ila Voyles is due in court again on February 14th.

Other types of live music for your evening wedding party
There are many popular variations on the rock and pop band theme such as Soul Motown bands or 70s disco funk bands. These are great if you want something a bit different to the norm.
You can also go all out on the theming and hire a tribute band. However, it pays to stick with only the most popular types of tribute band otherwise guests who aren't so familiar with the music will get bored and they won't dance.
The safest options are The Beatles or Abba.
If you have a large number of older guests then a 50s rock n roll band or a swing jive band is a fantastic option as even if you don't know the songs, the music is still great to dance to.
Likewise, for something with a real ellement of fun, why not hire a Ceilidh band and enjoy watching as your friends and family all try to figure out the dance sequences. Guaranteed fun for guests of all ages!
Wedding DJs
If your budget just won't stretch to a live band, then the next best alternative is one of our professional wedding DJs. A wedding DJ will specialise in music which is ideal for all ages, but with the flexibility to tailor the song selections to your requirements.

I have been receiving spam comments to my blog from Speedy DNS (http://speedy-dns.net).
They use the commenter name of wrenaissance-art.com (which is the name of my site). The comment alert email that WordPress sends when I get a comment shows the commenter's URL as http://speedy-dns.net/www/permanent/wrenaissance-art.com/
They use the commenter name of wrenaissance-art.com (again, the name of my site.) The email addresses vary.
Has my website and URL been hacked/hijacked? What kind of action do I need to take to make these people stop using my website's name? Should I contact my hosting company? It is also the name of my illustration/design business, so I do not want it besmirched.

NEW YORK -- Dennis Farina, a onetime Chicago cop who as a popular character actor played a TV cop on "Law & Order" during his wide-ranging career, has died.
Death came Monday morning in a Scottsdale, Ariz., hospital after Farina suffered a blood clot in his lung, according to his publicist, Lori De Waal. He was 69.
For three decades, Farina was a character actor who displayed remarkable dexterity, charm and toughness, making effective use of his craggy face, husky frame, ivory smile and ample mustache. He could be as dapper as Fred Astaire and as full of threat as Clint Eastwood. His gift has been described as wry, tough-guy panache, and audiences loved him for it.
"Sometimes you can take those dramatic roles and maybe interject a little humor into them, and I think the reverse also works," Farina said in a 2007 interview with The Associated Press. "One of the funny things in life to me is a guy who takes himself very seriously."

I started service with Alltel on January 30th 2008 and canceled service on February 2nd, 2008. All equipment was returned to the Metro Center location in Phoenix on January 3rd, 2008. After calling Alltel to let them know that I had returned the equipment to the store, they informed me that I have an outstanding bill of $133.31 and that they do not pro-rate and all fees must be paid. I was taken aback by the raised hair on my head! I said I was only with Alltel for 3 days and made TWO phone calls within the My Circle calling plan (which are FREE) and simply started their service so I could tether my laptop to my phone, but the woman who sold me the phone and tethering kit did not realize that the phone she sold me was NOT able to tether. The tethering kit she sent me was for the same BRAND of phone but for a different model of phone. I told them I only made two calls on the My Circle plan and all they told me is they do not pro-rate and I owe all fees billed. I started the $59 a month plan, so I am very confused in how my bill reached $133.31 in 3 days. They could never explain this to me and when I would ask, they would simply tell me to hold and they would transfer me. I think they do this on purpose to make you give up after several transfers. Alltel is a BIG scam company and I have found MANY complaints online and new ones documented every time I check. This has now gone too far as my bill is up to $150 with interest reoccurring monthly. I have contacted an attorney which in turn sent them a letter demanding they clear all said charges. They never responded. I then sent a letter to the Attorney General and their response was I need to provide receipts for the equipment being dropped off at the said store and documentation of time of activation and termination. They will then re-evaluate and provide a resolution. I say... YAH RIGHT ALLTEL!! this is simply one of your tactics to delay the issue and run my charges up even higher. I am still waiting for the FCC\'s response to my complaint I submitted. I am also going to file complaints on every site possible! It really is sad to have to deal with such rip-off companies. They take advantage of the people and I\'m sure, end up winning in most cases and the people who can fight their way through and win... it\'s no big deal to Alltel because they already screwed MANY others and won.
Damage Resulting:
I am now being charged reoccurring interest every single month. They seem to have NO intention of resolving this manner in a fair way.

I recieved a letter which said I had won 715,810 euros and had been picked at random from one million people. However I had not even submitted our name to any lottery draws. It also claimed that the money had already been deposited into my bank and insured in my name even though I had not contacted a Don Luis Ochando who was supposedly my claims agent.

When the Lamborghini Countach was introduced, its signature vertical doors created an enduring sensation. Soon cars began appearing here and there with one off, custom designed and engineered "Lambo doors", and it wasn't long before aftermarket entrepreneurs recognized an opportunity. Thanks to these companies and their custom kits you can't go to a car show or cruise night without seeing cars, trucks, and SUVs with vertical doors.
Featured Products
- Vertical Doors® Lambo Door Conversion Kit$564.00 - $1,899.00
- Vertical Doors® ZLR Door Conversion Kit$1,199.00 - $2,095.00
- LSD Doors® Lambo Vertical Doors Kit$1,259.09 - $5,858.09
- AutoLoc® Split Hood Kit$199.00 - $1,374.79
- AutoLoc® Tilt Hood Kit$250.00 - $1,214.89
We understand the appeal of Lambo doors. There's nothing like the startled looks you get when you open your door and it pivots upward! But we wanted to make sure that the kits we offer had solid engineering behind them, and could be easily installed by enthusiasts. We only sell kits from the top manufacturers in the industry, so you can be assured that what you see in the photos on our site you'll be able to achieve with your car.
Our vertical door kits have beefy, heavy-duty hinges with quality, long lasting bushings, and gas lifts that make opening the door a breeze. They're designed specifically for your vehicle and extensively tested to make sure they'll work effortlessly every time you open and close your doors. Most hinges directly bolt on in place of the factory hinges, and only minor modifications are usually necessary for fitment. We offer kits that come complete with hardware and detailed instructions, so you can perform a conversion that results in doors that look great and are easy to operate. We also have kits for rear doors.
With a vertical door kit, your doors will open normally to a predetermined position, then they can be raised. Some kits are available with remote activation, for the ultimate custom vertical doors effect. We offer kits for a wide range of vehicles, including all popular late model cars, trucks, and SUVs, as well as older special interest cars. And if you decide to sell the vehicle or just want to put it back to factory, the installation of the bolt-on kit is completely reversible. But while vertical doors are show stoppers by themselves, why not take your ride to the next level with a split hood or tilt hood kit?
Split hood kits allow you to open your hood right in the middle for an effect that will be sure to stop the crowd at car shows and cruise nights, and kits are available with motorized and remote activation. Forward tilting hoods were regularly seen on cars in the 1950s and now you can have the same look with a tilt hood kit, with either manual or remote operation. Rear hinged doors, also known as "suicide doors", are another feature that was popular on cars long ago. With one of our kits you can have this classic look for your car, and some kits are available with detents that hold the door open when parked on an incline.

Guides & Articles
- Vertical DoorsWhat are Lambo Doors and How Do They Work?Lambo or scissor doors are so called because instead of opening out like a traditional car door, they open upward, pivoting at the front of the door just behind the fender, just like the blade of a scissors. Since the kit is a bolt-on installation, with no permanent modifications required, it can always be removed and the vehicle returned to stock if desired.

Hi all,
I am having my fourth loss in just over a year after my one healthy son. I am struggling with the decision of whether we should keep on trying or not. The doctors still feel like we could carry a baby, but after four losses, I wonder if I am just setting myself up. I actually work in the field of adoption so I would look into that route for us if we did not try. Anyway, can anyone share why or how they decide to keep trying? Or if you have stopped, why did you decide to do that? Thanks,

I am a very beginner user, and was playing around in Dashboard.
In the setting "general" section, I found this "redirection" column.
As I was trying to change the host for another website I have(which has no contents and registered with "Google Site"), I naively put redirection address from "my website with wordpress" to "another website with Google Site".
And now I can't even go to my original website dashboard or change any setting with wordpress, because it says

The requested URL /wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hongjoos.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1 was not found on this server. That's all we know.

'For No Good Reason' captures method, madness of gonzo artist Ralph Steadman
Muppetologically speaking, The Great Gonzo is a "whatever," but surely he shares the gene for death-defying creativity with Ralph Steadman, the progenitor of gonzo art and a visionary in any phylum, class or order.
"For No Good Reason," a new documentary by Charlie Paul, doesn't waste time attempting to categorize Steadman, whose spectrum of cartoon mayhem famously contains the jet-black bats that divebomb the pages of Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
For 89 madcap minutes, Paul and interviewer Johnny Depp conduct a surface-level whistle-stop tour of the artist's life, never once outstaying our curiosity. The result is a bright, dizzying movie that feels like following Alice down the rabbit hole — if the rabbit hole were illuminated by a lighted stick of dynamite.
Meanwhile, fellow cultural heavyweights, including Terry Gilliam and Richard E. Grant, discuss the impact of Steadman's savage pen on the world.
And there's scads of 8-millimeter footage featuring frequent Steadman collaborator/archnemesis/journalist/provocateur Thompson, whom Depp has played twice on film. When the deranged duo originally joined forces for a magazine article about debauchery at the Kentucky Derby, Steadman recalls, "Without realizing it, on my first visit to America I met up with the one man I needed to meet in all the world..."
Watching helpless sheets of paper succumb to the torrents of India ink Steadman splatters across his desk — even now, waxing philosophical about Nixon, Kissinger and Vietnam — another Gonzo's poignant musical number comes to mind: "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday."
"There's not a word yet / for old friends who've just met" may be the very best couplet in the Muppet songbook, and would make a fitting tagline for the tumultuous professional and personal relationships illustrated in "For No Good Reason."
Especially now that the 21st century has evolved us all into gadflies, threatening to overpopulate the habitat of endangered species like The Great Ralph Steadman.
For No Good Reason★★★
Behind the scenes: Produced by Lucy Paul. Directed by Charlie Paul.
Approximate running time: 89 minutes

Exactly what was this lie that got the government to foot 90% of the $9,600 tab? I qualified in every way to have that surgery. My Body Mass Index was between 35 and 40 and I indeed had at least two qualifying morbidity factors (in my case it was high blood pressure and high cholesterol readings). Those with BMI's between 35 and 40 with at least two morbidity factors qualifies to have insurance or government pay the tab. There were no lies needed.
For whatever reason, my surgeon decided to bump up my BMI to 40 by putting my height down at 6'0" instead of the correct 6'2 1/4". That lie on his part was completely unnecessary as I had previously checked out the requirements and found that a BMI of 35 was good enough if there were indeed at least two bona fide morbidity factors.

I'm Gerod Rody, who thought up and co-founded OUT4S, and now serve as Board President. I'm often the face of the organization, in addition to performing data entry and anything else that needs doing. During the day I work in Brand Strategy in New York City. In my past I served as Director of Marketing at Pinchot University, where I also graduated (from the Bainbridge Graduate Institute at Pinchot) with an MBA in Sustainable Business in 2009.
I maintain a healthy obsession with all things Swedish and am interested in great food, creativity, swimming, running and adventure. I started up OUT4S initially to meet great people (and maybe get a date). Since then, the people I've met have become my family. Over the past several years, OUT4S has evolved into the beginning of a movement that crosses all sorts of lines, threatening to connect the gays and the greens in ways no one thought possible and help redefine the oft-narrowly used term sustainability into something that sparks action toward our vision of a Fabulous Planet.

I'm Judi Brown and, as a self-proclaimed champion for social sustainability, I feel very much aligned with the OUT4S vision of a Fabulous Planet. I'm a social impact strategist based in San Francisco, where I earned a Master's degree in Sustainable Public Administration and Policy at Presidio Graduate School in 2013. My primary fields of expertise are in impact investing, corporate philanthropy and sustainable international development, mostly working at the intersections of climate change, women's empowerment and financial inclusion. I am currently in the process of starting my own consultancy.
Along with my professional background in nonprofit management and strategic planning, I spent several years engaged in grassroots political and community organizing in and around various LGBTQ communities. While at Presidio, I was Co-Chair of the Q-Sustainability club, which worked to educate our fellow classmates around the intersections of these movements while providing space and visibility for LGBTQ students. As such, I feel fortunate to be able to work with OUT4S on further articulating the inextricable nature of social, environmental and economic systems.
An avid recreational and urban cyclist, I can most likely be found on a bicycle, seeking out new opportunities and connections. I have also recently taken up playing the ukulele and will happily take song requests as soon as I learn a few more chords.

My sustainability interests were influenced by growing up in the deserts of Arizona and has only expanded through hands on learning in permaculture, surrounding myself with sustainability enthusiasts, technical work and community organizing. I'm excited to be involved in queer and environmental community organizing in my current San Francisco Bay Area home (and beyond) where being a part of the LGBTQ community is important to my daily life, as is gardening!

I'm Ryan Hicks, and I am enthusiastic to bring my background in non-profit development and LGBT community fundraising to OUT for Sustainability. I love the vision A Fabulous Planet set forth by this organization. It's short, it's elegant and makes a truly compelling message to our constituents. It says we're more than a niche subset of the environmental activist community, our strength is in building a fabulous coalition of free thinking idealists and hard working pragmatists to advance an environmental and social justice agenda for others to emulate. It's the reason I want to devote my time and energy to supporting this organization.
Currently I serve as Board Treasurer for Out for Sustainability and work as Development Director for Three Dollar Bill Cinema, which produces the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival among other community film programs. Previously I worked in the sustainability sector as Business Sustainability Intern at REI and Sustainable Industry Analyst Intern for the State of Washington Office of Economic Development.

I'm Jennifer Frey, committed volunteer turned Board Member. After the 2011 Pride Parade, I searched for volunteer opportunities with LGBTQ environmental non-profits to help clean up after this yearly celebration and found OU4S. I started as a volunteer for the annual dinner and began planning the 2012 Earth Gay and Greener Pride events. Since then I have continued planning for the ever fun and sexy EarthGay, Greener Pride and OUT at the Beach events, while recently accepting a position on the Board. My roots in sustainability started at the age of two when I used my sandbox pail to collect the construction scraps from the home my family built and I graduated into pulling, straightening nails from salvaged lumber to the full range of construction tasks before I had a drivers license. In college I interned at a sustainable best management practice think tank for the residential building industry, where I helped develop designs that were presented to former Vice President Al Gore and a team from the EPA.
I am most passionate about conserving natural resources through efficiency and closed loop recycling systems. During my day job, as the Sustainable Program Manager at Sellen Construction, I integrate sustainability into all best management practices. In my spare time I paint encaustics (pigmented beeswax), "hunt" birds and landscapes with my camera, and am involved on other advisory committees for disaster preparedness/response, climate change action, and environmental product foot-printing.

I'm Danny Luong, and I am beyond excited to have joined the OUT4S board. I discovered these mighty fine people through a series of podcasts recorded at their 2014 Fab Planet Summit. These recordings really opened my eyes to the power of community. Particularly, the inherent capacity within the LGBTQ community to imagine change and advocate for it. Because of this, I wanted to help further their mission to create a stronger environmental consciousness in the LGBTQ public.
Currently, I am studying Environmental Science with a concentration in biology at the University of Washington, Tacoma. Powered by a deep appreciation for the planet and all of its inhabitants, I strive to understand the relationship between the two. What always fascinated me most about our biology was how much it was influenced by the environment we live in. Some research I now work on involves identifying genetic variation between ribbon worms from regions around Antartica.
In addition to OUT4S, I also serve on the board of Seattle Frontrunners, a gay and lesbian running and walking club in Seattle. As my third year on the board, I was elected Vice President to also help steer the organization in a direction that was more inclusive to all people of varying identities and athletic ability. When I'm not writing emails or nose-deep in a textbook, some other interests include marathons, graphic design, vegetarianism, and reading.

I'm Shehreen Johnson and I am very excited to be a part of this amazing board. I look forward to mobilizing our community in the pursuit of a Fab planet and I'm excited to learn more in the process. I was born in Bangladesh and moved to the States when I was four. I returned for a visit one summer and was immediately struck by the beauty and sadness- beauty of the people and surroundings, and sadness for the same. The wealth inequity was alarming and a shock to my eleven year old self. Up until that point, I assumed everyone had food and shelter. The experience taught me the significance of waste and instilled a strong sense of justice. Those principles guide me to this day by motivating me to do what I can to lessen my footprint, heal the planet and improve livelihoods.
Serendipitously, I obtained a BSE in Industrial & Systems Design Engineering and years later, an MBA in Sustainable Business. My background and experience is mostly in the corporate sector doing strategic business planning and operations management. I believe in the power of business to drive positive social change. My personal passions are around economic empowerment & inclusion and sustainable livelihood development.
I currently live in Seattle and when it's not raining, you can find me on the lake paddle boarding, rowing or motoring a tiny boat.

When you talk about marketing today, you can't discount SEO. SEO is a feasible marketing strategy that if properly planned can bring your business to great heights. Studies have claimed that SEO generates better results compared to TV commercials and print advertisements. But of course, there is no single type of advertising which is powerful enough to bring the ROI you are thinking of. It's always a combination of several forms. However, SEO can give you more better branding and business visibility, brand credibility, traffic, higher ROI, influence to consumer behavior.
Better branding and business visibility
You would always want that your company's products and services come first on search engine rankings. But this is not the main reason why you would want it on top; you need these converted to sales. How do you top rankings? You will need to appear in every related keyword search as much as possible so finally they would click onto your site. Also, when your brand keeps on appearing on the searches, it would build greater awareness to all your prospects. Since you have that top ranking, customer perception towards your brand becomes more positive and usually trust is developed.
Brand credibility
When your brand is always appearing on top rankings, searchers would actually remember it. It's like instilling to their consciousness that your product or service exist and eventually builds more confidence. It's like Google believes in this brand, it should be trustworthy; it's the psychology of being on top. For example, when you use the yellow pages and look for a particular service, you would naturally stick to those who are on the first few pages rather than those in the middle or last.
When you have increased your website traffic, it doesn't stop there. Most of these visitors are like window shoppers and they might not click "order" right there and then. But since you are already able to lure them to visit to your site, your work is half done. Your site should be engaging to ultimately convert your site traffic to actual sales.
Return on investment
SEO gives you quicker result than traditional advertising and this is true for other forms of internet marketing strategies. The reason behind this is that SEO is inbound marketing which means that you are able to market them when they are looking for the type of product or service you're offering. You do not disturb them when they're watching a TV show or take up space on the newspaper they're reading. Since they searched for the type of product or services you are selling, they already have the intent to buy and all you need to do is convince them that you are the best provider.
Customer insights
With analytics as a tool to analyze traffic coming in your site you are able to know more about your prospects like the technology and language they are using, demographics and behavior. This information will help you make informed decisions like on how to position your product according to the demographics generated.

World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft Summary
World of Warcraft Review
All in all, World of Warcraft is an impressive game that shouldn't be missing from your games collection. Buy it, install it and prepare for a high quality experience that will make you to forget the daily routine.
Latest news
Blizzard finally comments on the legacy server petition
J. Allen Brack, executive producer and Vice President for World of Warcraft, has finally given a statement in relation to the petition that recently passed 200,000 signatures.
According to Brack, Blizzard have been discussing the possibility of adding classic servers for years. The lengthy post includes: answers as to why Nostralrius couldn't continue with their private server; the reason why Blizzard can't just create a classic server; and the idea of a 'pristine realm', a realm where all the new features that World of Warcraft has gained over the years would be turned off.
Former World of Warcraft developer offers to take legacy server petition directly to Blizzard
You may have read about Blizzard sending a cease and desist letter to owners of the legacy World of Warcraft server, Nostalrius Begins. If you haven't, here's a very fast breakdown of the situation: Thirty volunteers host an international legacy server for World of Warcraft which lasts roughly one year, Blizzard send them a letter telling them to close the whole thing down.
Here's where things start to get interesting: Mark Kern, former team lead of the World of Warcraft team, has jumped on board with the petition. In addition to his support, he has also offered to deliver the petition to Mike Morhaime (president and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment) if the petition reaches 200,000 signatures.
World of Warcraft's fan-built vanilla server is getting shut down
MMOs change over the course of their lives, and World of Warcraft is no exception. While that evolution is necessary to keep the community coming back, it does mean that the original forms of these games slowly disappear over time. Nostalrius, a fan-built private server running a version of WoW as it launched back in 2004, was one effort to keep the original game alive. But not for much longer.
Blizzard breaks out the banhammer against World of Warcraft bot owners
There's nothing more irritating in World of Warcraft than to try to finish a quest than another PC suspiciously instantly killing mobs before you can even get a shot off, or someone mining rocks with an efficiency that's almost superhuman. Chances are, they're bots, and Blizzard has broken out a new banhammer against those employing them.
World of Warcraft hotfix makes the Garrison Shipyard more Playable
The last thing any MMO wants is a region that gamers avoid because it's a waste of their time and energy. World of Warcraft is no different, as players have more or less abandoned the Garrison Shipyard. The Shipyard offers missions for player ships, and while they have a very high success rate, the ships themselves are often destroyed. Additionally, most of the experience earned from the missions go to the ships themselves, and worthwhile missions are a bit too rare.
Blizzard has issued a new hotfix that promises to make the Shipyard a far more attractive place for players to utilize.

Skill Level Intermediate
The QuickFix menu, in Photoshop Elements 9, gives you a number of options for making quick fixes to your photos. One of the choices, Lighting, is another way to adjust contrast and bring a faded photo back quickly and easily. It's not something you'll want to use on every photo, but it's certainly another option for you to try. Quick menu lighting is sort of like levels on the fly. You're using sliders to adjust; you're just not seeing the histogram or using the eyedroppers. Be aware that when you're adjusting the Quick menu, the adjustments happen on the layer itself, not on an adjustment layer, so you'll need to duplicate the original layer by using keyboard shortcut Ctrl+J or Command+J or by right-clicking on the original and selecting Duplicate layer.
Let's do that right now and let's name it something like Quick, click OK. The Edit menu, located at the top-right of the screen in Photoshop Elements 9, is broken up into three categories Full, Quick and Guided. Let's click on Quick. If your Project Bin is opened at the bottom of the window, double-click on the tab to hide it. You'll want to see your whole photo.
Something that's very helpful in the QuickFix menu is the option to change your view. At the lower left-hand corner over the Project Bin and under the photo, is a dropdown menu labeled View. Clicking on it, you'll see a number of view choices including some for Before & After. If you choose Before & After - Horizontal, you get a nice before and after shot next to each other. This allows you to see the changes you make side-by-side. On the right of the photo under Smart Fix is the Lighting dialog box.
At the top is Levels and next to Levels is the Auto button. Let's hit the button just to see what happens. The best way to learn is to try, so you should hit buttons and the adjust sliders all the time. You won't blow it up and you can always get back to where you started by pressing the Reset button here at the bottom. Let's do that now and then we'll try the next Auto button down, this one for Contrast. You may look out and find that one or both of the Auto buttons was the magic bullet after all and fixed everything up, well, automatically, but there are two reasons you shouldn't start and stop with hitting Auto; one, you may miss out finding something else that works better and makes the restoration look better and two, it will prevent you from being better both at learning your software and photo restoration.
Let's hit the Reset button again and look at the three sliders located under the Auto adjustment buttons, Shadows, Midtones and Highlights. The Shadow slider is set by default to the far left, representing the darkest areas in the photo. Moving the slider to the right will lighten the darks in the photo. Let's find a good point here at about 23. The Midtones slider is by default in the middle. We'll leave that there for right now and go to the Highlights slider and if you'll notice, it's also set by default to the far right, but the gradient is switched on this, having the lights on the left side moving over to the darks.
Let's move this over and see what happens. We'll keep that at about 7. You can move these around after you've done them all and see what happens if anything -- let's move the Midtones slider a bit and keep that about 26. That looks pretty good. It's pretty yellow, but it did a decent job. Something you'll want to keep in mind, when we move these sliders in Lighting, the Reset button doesn't automatically become selectable. You'll need to come over to your Project Bin and click on it and then you can hit your Reset button to get back to where you were. Let's do that now.
Basically, Quick Lighting is a very simple way of applying levels adjustments to your photograph using sliders instead of histograms and eyedroppers. As you can see, it can make quite a difference in a short amount of time. It shouldn't be the only tool you use when restoring your photos by any means, but it's definitely worth a look.

General News of Thursday, 17 May 2012Source: peacefmonline A former Copyright Administrator, Bernard K Bosomprah says the 'Umbrella' insignia was brought for registration as an artistic work of the Former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings and not as a symbol of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and has therefore urged all who doubt his assertions to verify from the Copyright Office. The former Copyright Administrator has been accused of scheming with Mrs Rawlings to secretly register the 'umbrella' logo of the NDC. Exactly a week today, the former First Lady stunned the nation by publicly claiming ownership of the NDC symbol of red, green, white and black umbrella with the head of an eagle on top and threatened to take back the logo if the ruling party does not give respect to his family and revert to the ideals of probity and accountability espoused by her husband, Jerry John Rawlings. In a letter to the party's Chairman, Dr. Kwabena Adjei, through her solicitors, she n...

Mark McGwire's tears Monday told the story much more than the former slugger's pathetic attempt at logic.
The man who once held baseball's single season home run record broke down in tears as he admitted to steroid use, an un-revealing revelation if there ever was one.
If - as McGwire claims - steroids play little to no role in his historic 70 home run season in 1998, why the sadness? Why the sobbing?
Why should there be any regret on McGwire's part if steroids didn't help him hit home runs?
Here's the problem with the so-called "steroid era."
The admitted juicers and alleged juicers claim steroids do not help a player hit home runs.
If you already have the hand-eye coordination to hit at a major league level, being bigger, faster and stronger will help you hit a baseball harder.
It is a simple fact of nature.
It is true that steroids - by themselves - do not lead to more home runs. A player still has to work out, hit the batting cage, hit off a tee, possess god-given talent, etc.
However, getting bigger, faster and stronger by artificial - and illegal - means, does lead to prodigious taters.
And no amount of crying will change that fact.
