My son has cradle cap on his head and eyebrows. I'm using shampoo and massaging his head with oil but the cradle cap is still there. Can you give me some advice on how to get rid of this cradle cap? Thanks.
What type of oil are you using? Coconut oil is particularly good at removing cradle cap. I find it easiest to use a soft baby brush to remove the cradle cap.
Another method is to put some petroleum jelly on your baby's head before bed, leave it on for the night, and then wipe it off the next morning. They may need a bath after this!
Lots of babies do have cradle cap at some point.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Hi LJ,
Thank you so much for your insight. I will try to do that and I hope it can take away my baby's cradle cap. Thanks.
Cradle cap has many causes, but I found that when I took Evening Primrose Oil (and was breastfeeding), that my baby's cradle cap cleared up because the Evening Primrose Oil that entered my milk entered my baby's system.
Research from Sweden suggests that cradle cap may be caused by an insufficient amount of an essential fatty acid called Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA.)
GLA is required for making healthy skin. The thought is that infants have an immature enzyme system and are therefore unable to produce sufficient GLA on their own which then causes cradle cap.
You may want to start taking some Evening Primrose Oil according to the directions on the box and you may want to do more research on this to see if there is a therapeutic dose that is recommended.
After only a week or two of taking the Evening Primrose Oil, my baby's cradle cap started to clear up and eventually completely cleared.
Biotin deficiency has also been associated with cradle cap. Make sure that you are taking a high quality multi-vitamin (prenatal is fine during breastfeeding) and that it has Biotin in it (that's one of the "B" vitamins).
Please post back to let us know what works.
Warm Regards,

CORSHAM and Chippenham both celebrated landmark victories at Dorset & Wilts finals day at Salisbury RFC on Sunday.
While Chippenham carried off the U12 prize for the third year in succession there was also a superb victory for Corsham, who completed their triumph with a perfect record of three wins from three and no tries conceded.
The competition saw the best two Wiltshire teams pitted against their Dorset counterparts in a round-robin format.
Corsham kicked off with a hard-fought last-minute try to win their opening game against Oakmeadians 1-0.
Getting into their stride, Corsham dominated North Dorset in their second game, winning 2-0 to set up a decider with Chippenham who had won one and drawn one of their opening two matches.
Corsham produced the performance of the day to roar into a three-try lead by half time and, despite Chippenham's efforts, they were unable to breach their opponents line.
Their defensive feat was matched by Chippenham's U12s, who also kept a clean scoresheet throughout their tournament.
Against Dorchester, Ben Stephen and Tom Lewis created the platform for Archie Stanley to crash over for the game's only try.
It was a similar story in the second match against Wimborne, where Chippenham's defence shut down Wimborne's scoring chances. In the second half, Lewis superbly caught the kick-off and Stanley continued the move, before scrum-half Tom Griffiths and Tom Hathaway combined to send Elliott Ayliffe up the touchline for the winning score.
Last year's U11 Dorset & Wilts champions Salisbury stood in the way of Chippenham and the title, but they took the lead as Lewis started and finished a move that also saw Harry Johnson, Ben Butcher and Ben Stephen drive forward.
As Chippenham started to dominate, a superb run by Oscar Stephens ended with Salisbury conceding a penalty which allowed Lewis to cruise over for the second try.
Chippenham U12s started their Tri-Nations Tour, which takes in games in England, Wales and Ireland, today.
Corsham U11s: Joe Swain (skipper), Arthur Farthing, Ed & Angus Bollen, Alex Croker, Jonty Manson, Connor Hulbert, Sam Bressington, George Elkins, Harry Turner, Harry Kernan, Ben Robertson, William Arrowsmith, Ross Buchanan, Henry Phillips, North Goodwin, Hugo White and Tommy Gould.
Chippenham U12s: Archie Stanley, Oscar Buckley, Charlie Mullin, Tom Lewis, Henry Hyland, Tom Cowan, Ben Stephen, Ben Butcher, Harry Turner-Johnson, Matthew Harding, Tom Griffiths, Tom Hathaway, Jack Atkin, Morgan Parry-Williams, Arthur Kitching, Elliot Ayliffe, Alex Christopher, Eddie Tomlin, Oscar Stephens, Tom Pickford.
CHIPPENHAM'S U13 and U14 teams go for Dorset & Wilts Cup glory this weekend, both sides taking on Wimborne at Devizes RFC.
Six Chippenham players have been selected in the final 25-strong Dorset & Wilts U14 squad.
Five of them – second row James Utton, back rows Connor D'Aubigny and Harry Sutherland, fly-half Alexander Mackenzie and centre Gregor Morton – will start the match against Somerset at Bath's Rec on April 24 (6.45pm), while hooker Oliver Clements is on the bench.

Offspring, Universal Channel, 7.30pm
THEY'RE filming the fourth season of this excellent Melbourne drama at present and it would be un-Australian not to mention it on Australia Day. Tonight's episode is a classic, the season-two finale. Our neurotic obstetrician Nina, played beautifully by Asher Keddie, is forced to make one of those melodramatic, life-changing choices she seems to specialise in. As ever, it's great TV.
Angry Boys marathon, Comedy Channel, 4pm
IN FUTURE years we will look back on the misunderstood genius that was Chris Lilley's Angry Boys and appreciate it for what it was: a funny, clever and moving piece of Australian television. In the meantime, nobody does TV marathons better than the cable channels on public holidays, and this is no exception. Gather together a few mates and watch the entire series from go to whoa.
The Killing, SoHo, 8.30pm
IN ALL of the critical praise for the Scandinavian masterpiece The Killing, it feels as though the American version of the series has become underrated. The first two seasons, produced by AMC, were beautifully acted, and among the most stylishly atmospheric of any American series. Tonight's ep draws nearer to the frustrating season-one finale. The good news is that after the Rosie Larsen murder was solved and the show was cancelled in 2012, AMC has now confirmed that there will be another season, and another mystery to solve later this year. We can't wait.
Tony Robinson's Time Walks, History Channel, 2.30pm
A five-hour marathon of the British star's Australian series that looks at streets in Fremantle, Melbourne, Hobart, Bendigo, Newcastle, Carlton, Brisbane, St Kilda and Adelaide. Entertaining.
Kevin McCloud: Slumming It, BBC Knowledge, 9.30pm
Kevin McCloud immerses himself in one of the most extreme urban environments on earth: Mumbai, India.
Sunday, January 27
The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Arena, 8.30pm
IT'S the series finale of this fourth Real Housewives season and, thankfully for the show's ratings and producers, things don't end well. It's become something of a tradition for Melissa, Teresa, Jacqueline, Caroline and Kathy to experience some high drama at the annual fashion show for their ''friend'' Kim D's boutique, Posche - and tonight the catalyst is a bizarre storyline relating to Melissa's rumoured background as a stripper. Quite why anyone would care whether she had been is not really explained but boy, do they care. The fake tans, garish dresses, bitchy text messages and histrionic finger-pointing are at an all-time high tonight and, while it's hard to gauge just how ''real'' the fallout of tonight's drama is, it's possibly the biggest finale of the series so far, with something of a cliffhanger ending - suffice to say it may not be possible for these ''friends'' to all come together again for a fifth instalment. Be sure to check out the post-show special ''reunion'' at the end.
Last Man Standing, Fox8, 7pm
Supposedly the comeback vehicle for Home Improvement star Tim Allen. Actually one of the worst new shows of the past 18 months.
The Soup, E!, 9pm
Excellent, very funny weekly series fronted by Joel McHale that's like a version of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart for people obsessed by reality TV and celebrity culture. Much better than it sounds.
Off Their Rockers, Comedy, 7.30pm

Hi, this is my first post... thank you all for your help : )
I was hired in to manage a web development company in late 2008. The previous manager wasn't really doing a stellar job if you know what I mean...
Anyway, one of our old clients received a letter from a Canadian stock photo company stating that an image was stolen from them and they want over $2200 compensation.
The image in question is a 100px by 100px picture of a globe on the contact page of a site of the clients site.
I did some research trying to find out where the client got the image from. It didn't have a watermark, so I knew it was taken from another site... I dug around and found the exact same image (including the same cropping lines and degradation).
The site that it came from is an outdated actors website. The site has absolutely no copyright/privacy statements anywhere on its 10 pages. There is a link to a web developer that is no longer in business. Absolutely nothing to indicate that the picture is reserved. In fact the picture is so rough and pixelated, I have reason to believe that they originally copied it from a thumbnail... then my client decided that he wanted the same distorted image on his site. :rolleyes:
Of course, we have promptly removed the image...
I did some research and found this:
Removal of infringing material is also an element of a 1998 law establishing that an Internet Service Provider (ISP, a company that provides Internet access to individuals and businesses) can avoid liability by following certain rules including speedy removal of infringing material.
This was written by stanford.edu on copyright and fair use of the internet
Can anyone give me some advice on how to approach this issue. I've taken extreme caution as a developer when asking permission for images... it seems my predecessor did not Even so, the image was originally stolen by another company... and we have removed the image immediately, does that protect my client at all?
Thanks again
Any image on the web unless clearly labelled as being in the public domain is almost certainly copyright to someone. Lack of a copyright notice doesn't imply that there is no copyright.
Asking for permission is not taking extreme caution - it is the first step that everyone should always take since if you have permission from the copyright owner you are not breaching their copyright and if you ask and are refused permission then you can be fairly certain that if you'd taken without asking that you'd have been sued.
A hosting provider doesn't have full control over what is placed on their hosting. Their removing illegal material when it is brought to their attention protects them from liability. It doesn't protect the site owner from liability as they were the ones who uploaded the material and so they could have decided at the start not to steal it whereas the hosting provider may not have been aware that the material was stolen until they are advised.
Stealing from a thief doesn't give you any more right to something than stealing from the owner.
Immediate removal will minimise the end result of any action. It doesn't necessarily mean that the owner can't still claim for the period of time that their property was displayed without their permission though. If you hadn't removed it immediately then they could increase their asking price to cover whatever additional time it was displayed for after their original request.
Thank you for your reply
So what would be the best course of action? The clients website is from a template, I can't tell whether the client supplied the picture, or we put it on the site. Ultimately, we were the ones who uploaded it.
So as far as I can tell, your saying that even though the image was pulled from 3rd party site, my client is still guilty of infringing on the original author.
At this point, I guess the best course of action is to write to the company offering to buy rights to the original picture for $154 and stating that the developer that added the image is no longer in business might be the best course of action.
Did I mention they want $2500 for this 100 by 100 pixel image? It was on the contact page of a site that gets less than 100 visitors per month. I don't understand how that actually found it... but that doesn't really matter now.
IANAL however, As far as responsibility goes, it's firmly upon the individual who made the material available on the Internet (you), it's your responsibility to ensure that all material used within your contractual obligations were legitimately used (as it's both in yours and the clients best interests). Your client would be guilty of stealing the image from that website, and you by association would be guilty of assisting the theft and abetting the copyright infringement.
If your contract has ended with your client you could send an email of apology to the owner of the image saying that retrospectively you weren't aware that your client had included stolen properties, however upon their notification the image has been removed (in all it's instances). If they insist on being paid compensation (which they are legally entitled to do) upon reply (if any is given) you should pay the money - or negotiate with them on an amount (as your partly to blame - though they may ask for the full amount) and use it as a lesson to be careful what you upload in the future. However upon payment of the money you could indeed then proceed to demand the money from the client as a cost incurred due to them violating copyright law, though it could reflect badly on you as a business for allowing it to get through - so it's really up to weighing the cost of the simple fix, or dragging it out in a messy fashion - I would probably just bite the bullet and pay the money.

MIDLANDS Air Ambulance has unveiled its first wholly-owned helicopter to replace one of its three leased aircrafts.
The 23-year-old charity, which serves Wyre Forest, bought the £4.5 million helicopter to help reduce its overall running costs.
The newly-registered G-OMAA EC135T2e aircraft was initially built at Eurocopter in Germany before receiving its medical equipment fit out at Bond Air Services in Staverton.
It undertook its maiden flight in February from Bond Air Services to Midlands Air Ambulance's RAF Cosford airbase in Shropshire where it has been carrying out numerous helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) missions on a daily basis.
Previously, Midlands Air Ambulance leased all three of its helicopters from Bond Air Services, based at RAF Cosford, Tatenhill in Shropshire and Strensham in Worcestershire.
Hanna Sebright, chief executive for Midlands Air Ambulance, said: "The decision to purchase outright our own helicopter was made as part of our strategic plan to strengthen our long term sustainability by reducing overall operating costs, and further investing in HEMS operations and pre-hospital care.
"We are delighted to unveil our new aircraft, G-OMAA, which has been named in the spirit of our commitment to delivering the very best patient care and our ability to reach a patient within a matter of minutes. It has been a much anticipated and now welcome addition to our fleet."
The purchase of the new helicopter was possible due to the on-going support the charity receives from the public and businesses as well as a generous one-off legacy gift in a will from Derek Bullivant.
Currently, Midlands Air Ambulance's three helicopters carry out HEMS missions during daylight hours, up to 12 hours in summer months and eight during winter. As part of the GO MAA campaign, the service needs to raise an additional £250,000 to fund air ambulance missions between lit helipads during the hours of darkness.

An Otley & Yeadon councillor is calling for health chiefs in Leeds to explain inaccuracies in waiting time figures.
The National Audit Office investigated 650 cases in seven NHS Trusts across the country, including Leeds Teaching Hospitals, and found that in 167 instances the recorded waiting times were incorrect.
More than a third of the errors took place in Leeds, and Councillor Sandy Lay (Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon), is urging the trust to say why.
He said: "The problem is that reports like these do enormous damage to the reputation, credibility and morale of Leeds Teaching Hospitals and this sort of management failure undermines all the good work that I know the staff do.
"I'm also very concerned that out of all the Trusts investigated, Leeds was one of only two which did not have its chief executive or his deputy overseeing the referral data.
"I know from my own experience, when my father-in-law was referred to Leeds and his referral was 'lost', that the system in place for recording and monitoring referrals is poor, but I never expected it to be quite so widespread.
"Of the 95 cases reviewed by the National Audit Office it appears only 12 were correct.
"This means that a whopping 87 per cent of cases reviewed in Leeds were wrong or incomplete.
"All patients and GPs have a right to expect that an organisation as large as the Trust should have the right systems in place to ensure the referral process works every time for everybody."
He added that he would be also be asking Leeds City Council's Health and Wellbeing Scrutiny Board, of which he is a member, to launch its own inquiry into the statistics.
A spokesman for Leeds Teaching Hospitals said: "We fully support the right of patients to be seen within 18 weeks of referral.
"Overall at Leeds our backlog of patients waiting longer than this is dropping and fewer people are waiting now than at this time last year.
"The figures in this report relate to orthopaedic patients whose care starts in the community.
"The issue identified by the NAO is that an incorrect start time has been recorded which did not include the first stage of the pathway (in the community).
"We have now rectified this recording error and are making sure it cannot happen again.
"This is an area in which waiting time 'clock starts' are recorded very differently to those in the rest of the Trust.
"We are confident this error is not repeated and that we are improving waiting times."

In the United States, traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of injury-related deaths. Sedra Davis '14 and Claudia D'Adamo '13, along with Assistant Professor of Computer Science Tom Armstrong, are hoping to change that. Through the use of technology, they are working to improve the chances for recovery in critically injured patients.
The three are examining vital-signs data to find common patterns across patients. These patterns will be used to alert health care providers about the need for medical intervention and to predict patient outcomes.
"Computing is changing the way that other disciplines approach asking and answering questions," says Armstrong. "Opportunities like this provide experiences that will be useful regardless of the path Sedra and Claudia choose: graduate education, professional education, or industry."

STRIKER Jamie Guy proved to be the hero for Heybridge Swifts as his late debut goal earned Heybridge Swifts a point.
Heybridge had to come from behind twice against visiting Dereham Town at Scraley Road to earn a Ryman League division one north 2-2 draw.
Dereham had the better of the early exchanges and looked the sharper of the two sides.
And it was the visitors who took the lead on 15 minutes through Luke Tuttle.
But Swifts drew level nine minutes later when Neil Cousins got on the end of a Ben Newson cross to put the ball in the back of the net.
The visitors had a golden opportunity to retake the lead but Nicky Howell's powerful header rebounded off the bar.
Dereham went close again with a header but Craig Bussens' effort went over the bar.
Swifts then went close and visiting keeper Matt Powley pulled off a great acrobatic save on 41 minutes to deny Jamie Guy scoring his first goal for his new club from 20 yards.
Powley had to be called on again just before the end of the half to deny Cousins.
After the break, Guy went close again to scoring on his debut but his free-kick on 54 minutes went just wide.
However, it was the visitors that went ahead when Tuttle put a scrambled effort into the back of the net on 66 minutes.
The visitors nearly extended their lead when Shaun Bammant's effort flashed across the face of goal six minutes later.
Dereham then almost gifted an equaliser when Powley miskicked a clearance but was able to recover and save Guy's effort.
The visitors came back at Swifts but a long-range effort from substitute Aaron Kay went wide.
But it was Guy who saved Swifts deep into injury-time with a 95th-minute equaliser Division rivals Maldon and Tiptree had a mountain to climb in their match at Brentwood Town.
They went behind on nine minutes when Paul Shave pounced to give the visitors the lead.
Worse was to come on 24 minutes when Tony Martin doubled Brentwood's advantage.
Despite the best efforts of both sides there was no addition to the score-line.

Although the screen is easy to read, I was disappointed in that the trip distance / odometer is inaccurate. Went for a 10 mile ride and it said I went over one hundred miles. (My average speed was great!) I was on a bike trip across Minnesota. I rely on the trip distance to help me know how much farther until the next rest stop, etc. Again, my trip distance / odometer jumped. There was no way of knowing how far I had gone and how much farther I needed to go. Also, the sensor that goes onto the stem of the pedal broke within days of having the Bontrager 300. Luckily I found it on the floor of my garage. I duct taped it to the bike. I would not recommend this item to anyone.
The trip distance / odometer gives inaccurate readings. I like to have an odometer because I do a lot of training rides, and I bike across Minnesota on a bike event. If it's twenty miles to the next rest stop, I like to be aware of how far I still have to go. On several of my training rides, when I had gone about 10 miles, the odometer showed over 90 miles and another time over 100 miles. (That sure made my average speed look great!) Unfortunately, it also malfunctioned on the ride across Minnesota. Since I was in unfamiliar territory, I had no way of knowing how much farther to my next rest stop. Also, the sensor that attaches to the pedal, a rubber piece that fits over the stem of the pedal, broke within days of my purchasing the Bontrager 300. I used duct tape to keep it attached.
Best Uses
Bought this thinking a 2.4ghz more expensive wireless speedometer would keep accurate speed. On my first trip out, I went 10 miles. Speedometer said - 95 miles. Piece of junk. Also, neither I nor the shop could figure out how to set a custom wheel size. It's in the manual, but the speedometer won't do it, just generic "700x25c".
Best Uses
Wanted to work on some indoor cadence drills over the winter and the avg. speed. and trip distance works fine but the cadence is: 1. inconsistent with number jumping from 30 to 86 to 109 every few seconds--VERY frustrating; 2. Cadence too often says 00 (doesn't work at all on many rides). Con: 3 Poor starting mechanism.

Organizational leaders have absorbed the buzz surrounding green tech. Yet the allure of environmental stewardship alone isn't inspiring the majority of companies adopting greener practices. Rather, those all-important greenbacks -- in the form of lower energy bills, ROI, and tax breaks -- are driving many companies toward more eco-responsible, waste-reducing, sustainable IT initiatives.
Such are the key findings of InfoWorld's Green Computer Research Report. The survey, conducted by IDG Research Group, polled 358 IT professionals -- representing companies ranging from SMB to enterprise -- on technology solutions and practices that can reduce waste and associated costs by conserving energy and other resources. Technologies that fall into this "lean-tech" category include more energy-efficient PCs and servers, thin clients, and power-management products, as well as server and storage consolidation strategies and more efficient datacenter and server-room cooling.
Nearly three-quarters of the survey's respondents expressed at least some familiarity with green computing, which also encompasses technologies and strategies geared at reducing an organization's impact on the environment, such as the amount of harmful gasses it produces, the presence of toxic substances in wares bought or sold, and the quantity of reusable materials that end up in landfills. Here, green computing might include employing alternative energy, recycling PCs and purchasing refurbished ones, and implementing tools such as telepresence to reduce travel.
Going green to save green
Nearly 7 in 10 respondents have started down the green road, with 24 percent currently using or pilot-testing green computing solutions and 45 percent more in the planning stage of at least one initiative. Of the 17 percent who have no plans to implement a green solution in the next 12 months, 26 percent don't see an ROI in adopting green computing, 15 percent report that it is not in the budget, and another 15 percent state that their companies' energy costs are not high enough to justify the investment.
Environmental considerations are certainly stirring a lot of interest in going green. In fact, 86 percent of survey respondents said green computing is at least somewhat important to protecting the environment. Among those respondents who report that they are embracing green computing, however, the underlying motive appears to be protecting the bottom line more so than protecting Mother Nature: Almost three-quarters, 74 percent, of companies adopting green computing are doing so to reduce energy costs. Half are adopting such practices to extend useful life of hardware. Meanwhile, 31 percent are doing it to reduce harmful emissions attributed to global warming and health problems.
In regard to power bills, few companies, 24 percent, reported that their energy costs have increased over the past 12 months; 60 percent don't anticipate those costs will increase over the next three to five years. Still, as noted above, three-quarters are adopting green IT practices to lower power bills.
Energy costs alone aren't at the forefront of many a business leader's mind; there's also concern about future supply. Around two-thirds of the respondents agreed that the nation is facing an imminent power shortage and that energy-saving measures must be taken to ensure future business growth.
Baby steps
Right now, it looks as if companies are content to nibble at the low-hanging fruit of sustainable IT: the desktop. Currently, 76 percent of respondents are using LCD monitors instead of CRT, while 65 percent recycle hardware; 51 percent turn off computers, monitors, and printers when not in use; and 50 percent put PCs in sleep mode when not in operation.
Still, the number of companies that have implemented more complex and potentially costly datacenter- and server-room-oriented practices is by no means trivial. Nearly 41 percent are consolidating storage hardware, while 36 percent have embraced server or desktop virtualization. Moreover, the mandate to keep cool responsibly is having an effect, as nearly 30 percent of respondents said they are upgrading their cooling systems to increase efficiency and reduce impact on the environment.
Of the green-tech practices respondents intend to embrace in the next 12 months, a third plan to make the move to LCDs from CRTs. More than a quarter, 28 percent, anticipate purchasing only Energy Star-certified computers, monitors, and printers. Another 27 percent will implement hardware recycling practices, while 26 anticipate consolidating hardware storage. Interestingly, nearly 29 percent have no plans to adopt any new green-tech practices.
Sweeter deals boost green appeal
Savings in the form of lower electric bills and longer hardware life are clearly incentives for companies to embrace green -- as are the environmental benefits. In fact, 55 percent of all the respondents said that they give environmental factors and cost-efficiency factors equal weight when making IT purchase decisions.
However, money still remains the primary motivator. Many respondents would like to see further incentives from the government as well as vendors. In fact, 80 percent would be more likely to consider using environmentally friendly systems if the government offered tax breaks. Further, 82 percent would consider switching to green computing solutions if vendors or retailers offered incentives for turning in old hardware.
Making the switch to alternative energy, such as solar and wind power, is beginning to draw notable interest. One in four of the 72 percent of respondents reported that don't use alternative energy said they plan to make the switch in the near future. Unfortunately, lack of availability is sapping strength from the movement toward alternative energy sources, as 43 percent of those who don't use alternative energy attributed it to the simple fact their local utilities don't offer it as an option.
Of the one in 10 respondents currently using alternative energy, 52 percent do so because it is good for the environment, while 35 percent say it makes economic sense.
Planting seeds
Judging by the results of this survey, as well as the lay of the green-tech landscape, it's safe to predict that green computing isn't a mere flash in the pan. Although some organizations still remain skeptical of the potential benefits -- either in regard to long-term saving, the state of the environment, or both -- the majority of companies recognize that there's much to be gained.
In the meantime, although many vendors, politicians, and local utilities have made efforts to inspire customers and constituents to embrace more energy-efficient, eco-friendly practices, there's more work to be done. As creatures of habit with arguable propensity toward wastefulness, people are more likely to invest the time and effort to make changes if there are clear incentives, such as tax breaks. Ample availability of green alternatives to norm is also a necessity; in this case more clean-energy sources from utilities and green, competitively priced, eco-friendly products that are more energy efficient that their predecessors right out of the box.
Finally, I wouldn't be surprised if, with time, the term "green computing" fades from our vernacular and becomes a quaint, passé term. Like "e-commerce," green computing and practices will eventually just be business as usual.

Congressman Tony Cardenas Brings Ask, Listen, Learn To Sun Valley Middle School
Mar 08, 2013, 13:31 ET from The Century Council
Program encourages kids to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking"
SUN VALLEY, Calif., March 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, Congressman Tony Cardenas (D-CA) partnered with The Century Council's Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix program to inspire 100 students at Sun Valley Middle School to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking."
"All parents want their kids to be on a healthy track to success," said Cardenas. "That's why I'm honored to be part of the Ask, Listen, Learn program. Our kids have to understand that drinking underage is a poor decision that could drastically affect their chances to achieve the goals they've set."
Congressman Cardenas cheered on students as they enthusiastically competed for high scores in the running competition on Ask, Listen, Learn's interactive game. The game enables middle school kids to learn about the negative consequences of underage drinking and the benefits of making healthy decisions while they exercise. The premise is based on research by Harvard Medical School's Dr. John Ratey, showing that for a person's brain to function at its peak, the body needs to move. The multimedia program includes the game and print materials, with the website presenting a pledge to live a healthy lifestyle, online games and pages featuring Ask, Listen, Learn Superstars.
Sun Valley Principal Roberto Lee applauded The Century Council's efforts to reach his students on this key issue. "We're proud to have Ask, Listen, Learn in our classrooms. Not only do the students enjoy actively learning on the game with their peers, they bring what they learn home to their families to start collaborative conversations about underage drinking."
"The availability of alcohol to underage youth has declined for more than a decade, yet 11 percent of 8th graders report they have consumed alcohol in the past month," said Ralph Blackman, President and CEO of The Century Council. "It's important for parents to have the conversation about underage drinking early, because by the time these students are in high school it could be too late. Our message here today encourages healthy choices for a happy future."
Along with the interactive game, teachers at Sun Valley Middle will also receive newly-published Scholastic materials featuring U.S. Gymnastics team captain and Ask, Listen, Learn Ambassador Aly Raisman for their classrooms.
About Ask, Listen, Learn
Ask, Listen, Learn is the most widely distributed alcohol education program of its kind. Ask, Listen, Learn's initiatives include Asklistenlearn.com, a website that encourages kids to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking" by offering kids interactive and educational games and videos. On the site kids can read about positive role models and take a pledge to make healthy choices. Parents and educators are also encouraged to visit the site to find tips on how to facilitate these conversations with kids.

Buchholz, Wilkerson get revenge over Columbia with 6-1 victory
Published: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 12:24 a.m.
Two days after perhaps their most humbling loss of the season at No. 1 Tallahassee Chiles, the Buchholz Bobcats softball team got a form of redemption Thursday on their field.
Pitcher Jessica Wilkerson scattered six hits and Buchholz erupted for five runs in the later innings to beat Class 6A No. 9 Columbia, 6-1.
For the Tigers (11-2), who cruised over the Bobcats 12-2 at their place a month ago, it was a case of missed opportunities that came back to haunt them. Among the most blatant: leaving the bases-loaded in the first two innings; having a running error wipe out a potential score in the fifth; and having a player, who tried to turn a single into a double, being thrown out at second because she didn't slide.
Meanwhile, Buchholz (12-8) took advantage of its opportunities, particularly in the fifth and sixth inning. And Wilkerson, who was a bit shaky in the first after giving up an unearned run, settled down and didn't allow a run the rest of the way against a potent-hitting Tiger squad.
"We played a couple teams pretty tough but were unable to win," said Bobcats coach Butch Monaghan, whose team lost 10-0 in five innings at Chiles on Tuesday. "That pitcher for us, Jessica Wilkerson ... that's a quality team that averages six to seven runs a game. And to hold them to one is beyond what I could hope for."
Nikysha Brown's double in the third got the Bobcats' offense going. After a passed ball moved her to third, she scored on Marie Thomas' bunt single, the first of two of for the game, to tie the game 1-1.
After back-to-back singles by Buchholz's Erin Eiland and Thomas (on another bunt) to open the bottom of the fifth, Columbia coach Jimmy Williams pulled starter Erin Anderson for Ashley Shoup. But Taylor Nilsson had a run-scoring groundout and Ke-ana Curry followed with a single to short left for a 3-1 Bobcat lead.
Buchholz opened the sixth with a walk and back-to-back batters who were hit by pitch to load the bases with no outs. With Anderson returning as pitcher, junior Cassidy McDilda drove in a run on a fielder's choice, and Nilsson followed with a RBI single to left-center. McDilda, a Florida State commit, scored on Columbia's third error for a commanding 6-1 lead going into the seventh.
"We just didn't adjust to their pitching," Williams said. "Their coach did a good job calling pitches. He was keeping the ball down and all we could do was try to lift it. We had 10 fly balls.
"You let teams hang around and hang around, next thing you know, they think they can win. There was not one thing right we did the whole game. But I would rather have a bad game now then later in the season."
With Gator softball coach Tim Walton in the audience, UF commit Kayli Kvistad of Columbia was walked three times and hit by a pitch. Kvistad, a power-hitting shortstop, was The Sun's 2011 Big School Player of the Year as a freshman.
Getting little to hit is nothing new for Kvistad, who Williams said has faced similar pitching all season.
"Usually what they will do is hit her once a game," Williams said. "I did tell her that I am pretty proud of you that you don't go chasing stuff. Your patience is remarkable that you don't go chasing bad pitches and develop bad habits."
Buchholz returns to action next Tuesday at District 1-7A rival Ocala Forest, the only team that has beaten Chiles this season.
"And we have beaten Forest, so comparing scores doesn't work," Monaghan said. "We are in a really tough district.
"We gave them (Columbia) those chances early by making some errors. When we make plays behind Jess, she is tough. After we got through that, we kind of settled in. I knew we could get to their pitcher eventually."

Construct a simple corner bench in the kitchen to pair with a table as a breakfast nook and children's craft area. Use two-by-fours for the base frame and MDF board for back and side panels and for the seats. Provide access to storage inside the bench by installing the bench seats with piano hinges that transform the seats into lids.
Draw a simple diagram of your corner bench designed to fit neatly into the available wall and floor space and balance its practical size against existing kitchen fixtures.
Measure a comfortable chair. Match your bench proportions to the height of its seat from the floor and the depth of its seat from the back to the front edge where your knees will bend.
Make a cut list for the wooden components for the bench, noting the number of pieces of a given dimension. Cut the two-by-four components of the frame to size for both seat bases. Cut all the pieces except the panels.
Arrange the pieces for the frame bottom and apply glue to adjoining surfaces. Insert deeply countersunk screws to attach them securely. Repeat for the other frame components and complete both seat bases.
Support the fiberboard on two-by-fours, using a circular saw to cut the panels to cover the frame. The two-by-fours prevent the cut pieces from moving and pinching or binding the blade. Guide the cuts with a clamping straight-edge.
Carry the individual seat frames to the kitchen before joining them. Position the frames for the two bases in an L-shaped configuration and join them securely with long screws.
Apply glue to the front panels and clamp them in place. Secure them with a pneumatic nail gun, driving the nails through the panel into the framework behind.
Attach the two back supports, applying glue and clamping the pieces in place before securing them with screws. Nail long wedges on the supports to provide a gentle and more comfortable angle for the backrest panel. Secure the backrest
Trace a wooden strip to draw the first curved side panel. Cut with a jigsaw and use that side as a template for the second. Glue and nail the seat backs first, then the side panels and the top trim.
Attach the hinge to the lid first with countersunk screws and then attach the lid to the base. Use only a few screws until you test the fit. Repeat to install the second lid in the same way.

I had problems with my firs delivery. It took too long, about 11 hours, and the baby was threatened. That was a year and a half ago. Now, I am pregnant again and a little bit scared. Should I make a natural or a C-section?
I had problems with my firs delivery. It took too long, about 11 hours, and the baby was threatened. That was a year and a half ago. Now, I am pregnant again and a little bit scared. Should I make a natural or a C-section?
Hi Jovana2401
For a start 11 hours is about average so that in and of itself would not threaten your baby. That said I don't know the circumstances around your labour and birth so can't comment beyond that.
A Cesarean is a major operation and so not recommended unless there are significant issues which woul make vaginal birth inadvisable. If you are feeling anxiety about the birth then it would be a good idea to seek some help in resolving these feelings. For something a bit faster though you could read Top 12 Fears in Labour
Obviously one of the common fears is coping with the pain of labour. Taking a course such as Calmbirth or Hypnobirthing can help with this immensely (I've done both) as well as helping to dispel fear. I can highly recommend both.
The following article provides an interesting perspective on the rising rate of Cesarean birth: What are your Chances of Having a Natural Birth?
Please post back if you have any other specific fears you would like to bounce off someone!
Dear Jovana,
Have you had any further thoughts about giving birth again? I am very sorry to hear that your first birth was a traumatic experience. Are you able to share more detail about what you felt was scary and traumatic during this birth?
Many women who have experienced a traumatic birth say that it is feeling out of control which made them feel scared. This really is a tragedy. Birth should be a positive and empowering experience. This is not to say that it is easy; it can be extremely intense but it does not need to be negative.
Have you come across the Positive Birth Movement? They can pair you up with a 'birth buddy' - another women who has had a normal, positive birthing experience who can encourage you on your journey. 'The Positive Birth Movement believes that communication is the key to shaking up birth. By coming together, in real life and online, and sharing experiences, feelings, knowledge and wisdom, women can take back childbirth.' (source: the positive birth movement)
I feel that information is key when it comes to have a good birth experience. We need to be well-read and well-informed in order to make thought-through decisions in our births. It is also really important to think carefully about where to have your baby (hospital, birth centre or home) and who you would like to attend your birth (for example, do you want midwife-led care and who will you have as a birth partner). The statistics show that midwife-led care leads to less interventions and a more straightforward, and quicker, labour.
Personally speaking, I really can emphasise with you. The day after the (traumatic although natural) birth of my first son I could be found searching on the internet about whether I could elect to have a c-section in the future. I knew that I wanted to have more children but I was terrified of going through birth again.
However, I am pleased to say that I went on to have a hugely positive second birth. I hired a doula whose support and friendship I found invaluable. I took a hypnobirthing course and learnt how to relax my body and breathe through the surges (this is hypnobirthing speak for contractions). I went back to basics, believing that my body was created to birth my children and that all I needed to do was trust my body.
I hope you take some encouragement and hope from what I have shared.
Please do let us know what specific areas of your next birth you are worried about so that we can support you further.
Warm wishes,

I've been doing a piece of work for a customer who wanted a simple form distributed around their organisation for staff to fill in and return. The only additional requirement was that end users need to be able to save the document whilst filling it in. Most of my work to date has been using the Adobe LiveCycle product suite and so I naturally turned to Reader Extensions ES2 which would give end users the ability to save documents offline but comes at a rather large premium in terms of licence costs.
I'd always ignored Acrobat as I'd never needed to use it's standalone functionality but something about the simplicity of this requirement made me look again. Sure enough since a few versions ago Acrobat now has a form of Reader Extension capability. Form designers can use Acrobat (or Designer) to create their form and distribute it via Acrobat and reader extend it (note to Adobe: make this easier to find in Acrobat X Pro, currently it's hidden under the "Save As" file menu for some reason).
This all seemed a little too easy and instantly made me want to find some sort of limitation as otherwise Reader Extensions ES2 would look a very expensive option compared to the relative inexpense of purchasing Acrobat X Pro licences. I eventually turned to the EULA, searching for some sort of "gotcha" for this feature. Sure enough there is one (section 16.8.3).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/2/2013 (1639 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW YORK – Zach Redmond is on the mend at a hospital in Raleigh, N.C. and his family has now released a statement through the Winnipeg Jets.
"We are truly overwhelmed by the tremendous support we have received on behalf of Zach. The outpouring of emotion and kind words we have received has helped our family get through this difficult time," reads the statement.
"We are eternally grateful for the quick response of the Winnipeg Jets training and coaching staff as well as Zach's teammates, who without reservation jumped to his aid, heroically took control of the situation and made sure Zach was given the proper care, in turn saving his life.
"Zach is currently in positive spirits, and getting the rest he needs while surrounded by family and friends in a Raleigh area hospital. We are deeply appreciative of all the support and are optimistic about Zach's full recovery and future.
"At this time, we hope that Zach and ourselves, as well as his friends, can have a little privacy as he begins the healing process. Thank you again."
Redmond suffered a serious injury last Thursday in North Carolina when his upper right thigh was sliced open by Antti Miettinen's skate in an accident at practice. The skate sliced through several major arteries and required three hours of surgery to repair, effectively ending his rookie season with the Jets.

HOUSTON - Lockdowns at three Houston ISD schools were lifted as the search continues for suspects wanted in an aggravated robbery.
It all started around 10:30 a.m. when a resident told police that he was getting ready to take his wife to work when he was carjacked at gun point and the suspect got away.
Once police were called, they tracked the stolen vehicle and found it parked on Sonora Street near Lockwood.
Near the intersection of Lockwood and Arboretum, several police units had blocked off the street while they searched for at least one suspect.
"What we saw is cop cars all the way here. We wanted to leave but we couldn't because they had our driveway blocked," said Paskel Anderson, neighbor.
Investigators tried to make contact with the carjacker, who they thought was in the stolen car. The car was parked near Dolores Johnson's home. She heard police use a loud speaker to communicate with the suspect.
"They were asking whoever was in the car to come out to turn the music down and they had canines on the way and all that," said Johnson.
HPD SWAT officers were called to the scene to assist with the arrest, but because the windows were wet and foggy, police say they couldn't tell if the suspect was inside.
Police say they looked at surveillance video from a nearby business. It showed the suspect running from the car and jumping over Johnson's backyard fence as he made his get away.
"That's what the police officers tell us. Went through the back, jumped over the fence...what goes through your mind with that. It was scary. It was scary," Johnson said.
Police say they believe they will find the suspect. Once he's arrested, he will be charged with aggravated robbery.
The lockdowns at McReynolds Middle School, Henderson Elementary and Wheatley High School were lifted around noon.

I've been following Allergic Girl, Sloane Miller, on and off for the last few years. She writes a clever and wonderfully named blog, Please Don't Pass the Nuts, that helps those with food allergies navigate all aspects of their life safely and with joy. I was really excited when she contacted me about her new book, Allergic Girl: Adventures in Living Well with Food Allergies. She's written you a lovely guest post and to help promote this amazing resource, we're giving away a copy of her book and a $25 Bob's Red Mill Gift Card to two lucky winners. See below for giveaway details and how to enter. Without further ado, here is Sloane…
People ask me two questions, a lot:
First: Why write Allergic Girl: Adventures in Living Well With Food Allergies?
My Please Don't Pass The Nuts blog readers who have food allergies and the friends and family who love and support them are the inspiration for Allergic Girl: Adventures in Living Well With Food Allergies. There is a real need for information and support in the food allergic community. I want Allergic Girl to fill those needs.
I became a food allergy advocate because I am committed to helping people with food allergies live safe, effective and joyous lives. Allergic Girl talks about the intimate feelings, concerns and dreams those of us with food allergies have and shares my experience and expertise. I write about the practical realities of understanding and living with food allergies and I offer proven strategies for living well with food allergies.
I have always been an allergic girl. I have had food allergies since birth and I developed environmental allergies in early childhood. I am also a social worker and writer. My work as a food allergy advocate—"Allergic Girl"—combines my commitment to helping people with my personal experience as someone with food allergies and my professional expertise as a social worker and writer.
Second: What's my one piece of advice to people with food allergies and the people who love and want to support them: Take your food allergies seriously.
Living with food allergies can be challenging—even scary. It can and should also be joyful. Reliable, clear information and support make the difference. Allergic Girl offers my experience and my best therapeutic strategies for living safely, effectively and joyfully with food allergies. And remember: Be patient. Living well with food allergies doesn't happen overnight. But, if you take your food allergies seriously and follow some basic rules, it can happen.
First of all, we're not discouraging anyone from entering, but I must say this resource is invaluable for those with food allergies. I hope that anyone who wins will enjoy it and share this with someone who has food allergies and could use Sloane's wonderful guidance. Even though celiac disease is not an allergy to food, Sloane's book is a great resource for anyone with celiac disease as many of the same principles still apply.
To Enter:
All you need to do to enter is leave a comment here or on our Facebook page and tell us about your most positive food allergy experience, whether it was your own or a loved one. We'll pick two lucky winners at random from all of your entries. You have until midnight on March 13th to enter. We'll pick our two winners using random.org on March 14th.

A Chippenham woman who tried to cash a cheque for some rogue traders who had fleeced a 91-year-old woman has walked free from court.
Kayleigh Hemmings, 20, of Sheldon Road, acted as banker for the men who charged the woman £650 for cutting down a bush, then altered a cheque to read £6,500. But staff at the victim's bank were suspicious when Hemmings phoned asking when the money would be cleared.
Claire Marlow, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court that two men called at the 91-year-old woman's home in September last year. She said: "They asked if she needed any gardening work and she said she had a bush needed cutting in her back garden."
After doing the work they told her it would be £650 and she wrote out the cheque to that value but at their request left the 'payee' section blank.
Hemmings paid in the cheque, which had been made out in her name and altered to read £6,500, on October 4. A week later she contacted the branch to ask whether it had cleared.
"The bank became suspicious, they contacted the police," Miss Marlow said.
"She had said the cheque came from an auntie in a birthday card from the north. They knew Mrs Jarvis was one of their customers in Swindon."
When she was questioned by police she said did not know how her name got on to the cheque or who altered it.
Miss Marlow said that though the bank had paid back most of the cash they believed the £650 had been correctly put into her account.
Hemmings pleaded guilty to a money laundering charge.
Edward Hetherington, defending, said "This is a morally repugnant and reprehensible course of events.
"The papers and common sense show Miss Hemmings played a secondary role. It was the men who did the work which was not of the standard charged.
"She was presented with the cheque as she had a bank account. She agreed knowing the cheque was not legitimate."
He said his client suffered 'a number of cognitive difficulties' and had been in an unhealthy relationship, which is now at an end and she was due to move to Devizes.
Passing sentence, Nicholas Atkinson QC said: "You may not have known who the victim was but you have acknowledged through your counsel that you have to pay this lady back."
He imposed a three-month jail term suspended for a year, with 80 hours of unpaid work, 12 months of supervision, and an order to pay £650 compensation.

The Invention of Greek Ethnography: From Homer to Herodotus
Peter Green writes:
When, as a vaguely anti-authoritarian ex-service undergraduate, I first studied Herodotus seriously in the years immediately following the Second World War, my overriding impression was of a man both broad-minded and cosmopolitan; fascinated by the infinite varieties of human nature; surprisingly alert to the influence of women in history, which I've always thought of as the subtext, by no means always sexual, of so much public action; appreciative of thaumata, marvels, wherever they might be found (parallels with the New World suggested themselves); and open-minded about religion. A curiosity about foreign beliefs and habits was combined with an ingrained respect, not only for these alien ethics, but also for the achievements of other nations generally regarded by Greeks as inferior (and thus despised), hostile (and thus hated) or both. He wanted, he said, to save from oblivion the 'great and marvellous deeds' not only of the Greeks, but also of the Barbarians – mainly the Persians, and their imperial subjects, whose barely defeated invasion is his main subject (one reason he was labelled philobarbaros by Plutarch). He also wondered, with typical Ionian curiosity, why they fought each other, and set himself the task of finding out, in a work twice as long as Homer's Iliad.

TipTop Audio has released another in their line of Roland TR-808 modules for the Eurorack system. I own all of them so far and they are all stellar. I believe I read Gur used to repair or clone real 808s so he really knows what he is doing. This time the Rimshot and Clav are covered in the new RS808 module. The sound is right and besides the flexibility of being in the modular environment the module has slightly more variation than the original.
"The RS808 is the TR-808's analog Rimshot and Clavs sound generator in Eurorack format. It's a low-cost module that brings back that classic sound, but with even more variation and control, continuing to expand your Tiptop Audio modular drum machine. The RS808 comes with two switches that give a total of 4 different positions: two are the classic Rimshot and Clavs sounds as found on the original, and two are unique to the RS808 module adding a range of snappy "click" sounds the circuit is capable of producing. Two control knobs were added, each have different effect for the selected sound. In general, these controls can be categorized as Pitch and Snap as they control the frequency of the oscillator and decay of the envelope generator. The RS808 is an exact reproduction of the original circuit which sounds like a fresh machine coming off the assembly line back in the 80's." – tiptopaudio.com

There were only a couple of choices I'd amend, such as joining the Imperials rather than the Stormcloaks (being a Breton I had no place there), and combining shock magic with Spellbreaker instead of fire magic and a sword. Oh well.
