2013-14 Minority Educator Recruitment and Retention (MERR) Report Due on or Before July 31
Pursuant to 704 KAR 7:130 and KRS 160.380(2) (d), districts are required each year to submit a Minority Educator Recruitment and Retention (MERR) report of the district's efforts to increase the percentage of minority educators. The reporting cycle for the 2013-14 MERR data report is
July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014
. The 2013-14 MERR data collection must be submitted to the Kentucky Department of Education via a web application on or before
July 31, 2014
Step-by-step procedures are provided in the Kentucky Educator Placement Services (KEPS) on the "MERR Home" page. To access the web application login as a district user, use the following link:
. Then, go to the "DISTRICTS" tab and select "MERR Home".
To improve data quality, staff responsible for KEPS data management systems must review all vacancies posted during this time period before completing the MERR report. For details, see the document attached to this e-mail.
Once all postings and the hiring data have been reviewed and updated for accuracy, proceed with completing the MERR recruitment plan. The superintendent or superintendent designee must complete the MERR report and sign-off on the recruitment plan by
July 31.
In an effort to ensure data integrity and secure each district's report, please remove the rights from any staff except the superintendent and superintendent designees. To acquire a current list of KEPS users go to the KEPS home page; then click on the "DISTRICTS" tab and select "KEPS Users". To make changes to the KEPS users, contact your district Web Application Administrator Point of Contact (WAPPOC) or the KETS Helpdesk at
If you need assistance with the MERR report, contact Candace Souder with the Division of Next Generation Professionals at

2014 Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Awards
The Kentucky Department of Education is pleased to announce the completion of the review process for the 2014 PLTW RFAs. The awards can be found on the
KDE Competitive Grant Awards
Awards are contingent on available funding and districts/schools meeting programmatic and budgetary requirements.
For budget-related questions, please contact
. For questions related to the application process or for copies of your score sheets, please contact
. All other questions should be addressed to
Clarification Regarding Carbonated Beverages
There has recently been discussion about diet carbonated beverages and whether they are permitted to be sold on school campuses pursuant to 7 CFR 210.11 and 702 KAR 6:090, the federal and state regulations that govern the sale of beverages on school campuses. Please be advised that when interpreting state and federal regulations, KDE applies the most restrictive regulation when a conflict arises between state and federal regulation.
Please be further advised that KDE interprets these regulations to mean that during the period beginning thirty (30) minutes after the last lunch period until thirty (30) minutes after the end of the last instructional period, it is permissible to offer diet carbonated beverages with caffeine for sale through a vending machine, school store, canteen, or fundraiser on school property to high school students as long as the beverage does not exceed 20 ounces. However, it is only permissible to offer diet carbonated beverages to middle school and elementary school students as long as the beverage does not exceed 17 ounces and contains only trace amounts of naturally occurring caffeine substances. The same rules regarding beverages set forth above apply during food service pursuant to 702 KAR 6:090, Section 3.
If you have any questions about this issue, please contact Deanna Tackett at
Kentucky Global Schools Network: Learn and Launch Grants RFA
Global competence is critical for innovation in the 21st century. The next step for Kentucky's commitment to college- and career-readiness is to ensure that global-readiness is a part of this strategy. To borrow from an NEA policy brief on the issue, this means that students acquire an in-depth knowledge and understanding of international issues and an appreciation of and ability to learn and work with people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, proficiency in a foreign language, and the skills to function productively in an interdependent world community.
The Kentucky Board of Education, at its June 2014 meeting, reiterated a commitment to this focus and Commissioner Holliday pledged support to elementary and middle schools wishing to 'learn and launch' global competency and world language programs that support these aspirations.
Request for Applications (RFA)
has just been posted for this work. Elementary and middle schools are eligible to apply for grants of $15,000 for professional learning and planning for exemplary global competency and world language programs. Schools must make the following commitments:
• Use funds to learn about and then plan for the implementation of a sustainable and integrated program for all students to understand and meet global competency skills;
• Implement or build upon an existing World Language Program;
• Work collaboratively with KDE and VIF International Education (as an evidence-based provider of support programs and services) to carry out grant activities, including sharing findings and other related data/information; and
• Share the thinking and process of building a global competency program and serve as a spokesperson and model for other schools, districts, partner agencies and VIF International Education.
Applicants that submit an Intent to Apply will be invited to an online technical assistance meeting on
Tuesday, July 22 at 10:30 a.m.
until noon EDT.
Applications will be due
August 15
, with notification of awards on or around September 15. We anticipate being able to fund approximately 13 projects.
The RFA can be found on the
KDE Competitive Grants website
. Questions should be directed to

Magento: The Ecommerce Solution For Your BusinessGuest_Blogger | Oct 21, 2011
Recently we've recognized the growth of Magento by showcasing companies who have used it to rebuild their core business, and even sponsoring the X.commerce Innovate Developer Conference last week. Still unsure of how Magento can help your business better sell your products? Writer and editor James Well has worked with a number of online retailers, and provides an introduction to Magento and what he sees as the core features that have led to its growing adoption as an ecommerce solution.
Magento was first introduced in March 2008 and quickly rose in popularity to the point where eBay saw its intrinsic value and bought an initial 49% stake in it in 2010, before going on to purchase the remaining amount in June of this year. As an open source ecommerce application, Magento, in my opinion, offers the best platform for providing solutions for companies in the retail business sector enabling them to completely manage their online stores.
Today, Magento helps to generate billions of dollars in online sales from all over the world and offering highly skilled and experienced Magento developers, programmers and designers lots of opportunity to build Magento extensions, themes and templates. Here we discuss some of the core aspects of what has become the hottest ecommerce platform.
Magento as the First Choice of Online Stores
Ask any of the online retailers who have found success by deploying Magento in the day-to-day operations of their online stores and you will likely hear about Magento's ease of use, the excellent templates that make storefronts and content look great, its versatility, rich interface, attractive layouts and highly customizable features.
Over 100,000 merchants from around the world have found a success of their online businesses by deploying Magento to meet their various needs. In addition to several leading brands like Lenovo, OfficeMax, Fox, Vizio, and Nokia, Magento has seen tremendous adoption from the small and emerging business sector. A handful of examples include:
- Gieves & Hawks sells apparel and serves the UK, EU and the US markets
- Thomas Dean deals in men's apparel and serves the US online markets
- Eastwood sells automotive tools and supplies and serves the worldwide markets
- The Southern California-based Warehouse Shoe Sale Company retails brand name footwear and apparel with a Magento online store and runs over 50 store locations in Southern California
- Blu Dot sells furniture online and integrates Magento ERP to maintain updates and orders in real time with a creative visual presentation of furniture catalogs
- Kaiser+Kraft sells office and warehouse equipment and it is a leading supplier in 27 countries and runs localized online stores with Magento in China, Japan, Hong Kong, among others, with a lot of complex data synchronization and security through Magento
Advantages for End Users
There are many advantages successful ecommerce entrepreneurs have been seen from using Magento:
- Magento ecommerce hosting integrates search engine optimization which increases visibility for better traffic generation. We all know the importance of driving traffic to the success of any online business. The more traffic you're able to attract, the better the chances of having conversion rates and converting more of your website visitors to paying customers.
- Magento provides multi-lingual, multi-currencies support and offers multiple payments systems such as PayPal, MasterCard, Visa, etc., making its deployment in your online store a cost effective and flexible solution to accommodate a global economy.
- Magento provides a review of available products, wish lists, layered/filtered navigation, email lists, products comparison, system and colorful dropdown menus for products options. You can even run multiple stores on Magento with each store having the same (or different) catalogs just from one database or single administration panel, and with entirely different outlooks.
- The code configuration of Magento and the theme design structure supports add-on features easily without any fear of impacting its future upgrades or distorting the outlook of your Magento storefront. This is due to its design which creates a distinction between its code pattern and any add-ons that may be added to it. Those add-ons and extensions are instrumental in providing additional custom features, which is one of the biggest reasons for Magento adoption.
- Magento integrates seamlessly with Google Analytics which enables owners of online stores to track buyer-related information. Magento provides e-store owners with the option to group products for the convenience of buyers using categories like price, similar features or even colors as yardsticks.
- There are arrays of add-ons or plugin features that PHP web developers commonly use to extend the core functionality of Magento software or simply add new features. These plugin features include Magento Live Chat, Exploded Menu, Custom Groups Configuration Catalog and the Blogs.
The success of Magento is due to its intuitive design, expert coding and opportunity to apply a broad range of extensions that enables online retailers to customize to their exact specifications. As a result, Magento developers and programmers are seeing increased demand as retailers are finally seeing the bevy of options they have in using Magento. In fact, eBay's total acquisition of Magento is the industry's vote of confidence, and it's truly exciting to see how Magento will be able to grow with those additional resources.

you must be kidding me :)
wordpress outsmarts magento in every way.
there are so many premium themes and plugins with e-commerce functionality that make magento run and hide in the closet.
not only are they many, but they are diverse.
you can use functionality from templatic themes, other themes from themeforest and for a while now even woothemes has ecommerce themes.
i think in time magento has the potential to become a great WORDPRESS PLUGIN due to its great filtering features, but an e-commerce platform, i don't think so.
we'll talk again in 5 years and you'll see I'm right.

Earthwise Becomes "Made in USA Certified"
The Earthwise Group LLC, a national network of locally owned manufacturers of windows and doors, reports that the organization has recently been recognized as "Made in USA Certified." To earn the certification, the group went through a rigorous supply chain audit to ensure that at least 75 percent of its products and processes originate and are completed in the United States, officials note.

Re: Getting Started at 50
I just got back into sailing after being away from it for almost 30 years. Used to race 470s and ran a Westerly 23 along the Maine Coast. Then grad school/career/life (and mountaineering and motor racing) got in the way. A few years ago, when I turned 50, the urge to sail needed to be satisfied, and I rented a few boats. This summer, I picked up a used Vanguard 420 and let me tell you, it's been great. I love that little boat. Taught my rather timid wife how to sail as I re-learned the skills. Now I can't get her off of the trapeze. I figure in a couple more years, we'll get a small cruiser and moor it up Downeast ... the only way a commoner can have a place on the coast.

no san mig but they have skol carlsberg any other type of ale you can think of and best of all its all duty free about [45c ]US and naturally everything is relative food etc wishing you luck in your venture wish i had done this years ago take care jomac1
Re: Getting Started at 50
Hey jomac1, Do they have any San Miguel there? I haven't sailed since 1978 and am planning to get back into it and get a boat of my own. And, I plan to retire in the Philippines, in about 5 years, where I want to roam the Visayas...... It has been a life long dream.
Re: Getting Started at 50
It's NEVER too late to start and 50 is pretty young. A few things to try/consider:
Spend time sailing small boats (Lasers, Thistles, etc.). I've seen a lot of folks who went directly to learning/sailing large cruisers miss out on the basic, intuitive interaction of wind and sail.
Join the nearest sailing club/association. They are usually filled with friendly, like-minded folks.
Go to events like Strictly Sail, Annapolis Boat Show, etc. While they have exhibits, lots of boats and gear, the workshops/educational seminars are most often excellent. They are also a good way of meeting people and learning about good places to go.
It's great that you and your wife share the same passion. Now plan some trips and get sailing.
Good luck!
Re: Getting Started at 50
There are numerous web sites for finding crew berths on boats. I suggest that you try to crew as much as possible before investing in a boat. You will learn about what you like and don't like about the various boats that you crew on. A personal favorite of mine is https://www.findacrew.net/
As you develop there are "seasons" and "places." Borrow Jimmy Cornell's World Cruising Routes from the library to see what I mean. Examples - US to Europe - June/July; Europe to Caribbean - November/December. North America to Caribbean - October. There are big "rallies" of hundreds of boats that take this trip at the same time (e.g. departing Norfolk, VA for the Caribbean) and lots of other boats that don't want to pay to join the rally but are on the same schedule. With big concentrations of boats moving you have a better chance of finding a berth than you might at another time.
I know this will create controversy hence the rant warning. IMHO you will do better if you and your wife do not crew on the same boat. As a Captain I rarely take a couple on board. It is natural for one spouse to protect the other when the Captain is unhappy with something one of them has done or is trying to teach one of them some aspect of sailing. The dynamics can get very sticky and I have had a couple of bad experiences. So I suggest you try to crew on different boats - particularly in a rally you will meet in the end and can enjoy the land side together.
Further advice:
1) Don't repeat cruising grounds. If you have been to the BVI go somewhere else. The VI are very protected and beautiful cruising grounds but they are not going to give you the experience that you need to cruise the Caribbean.
2) If you only intend to cruise for 2 or 3 months per year don't buy a boat (unless you are very rich!) Dealing with the boat for the other 10 months will be a royal pain. Not to mention that recommissioning the boat after not being used for 10 months will eat into your cruising time. Boats live in a hostile environment - salt water. Lots of wear even when you are not using them.
3) Consider out of season cruising. There are lots of boats in the Caribbean just sitting around all hurricane season. You can rent them for a song. Yes, you might lose a few days to bad weather. But you can rent a boat for 30% or less of what it would cost in high season. You always have the option of coming back to the charter base and giving the responsibility for the boat to the charter company while you hang out in a hotel. Just don't pick September - the statistically worst month for hurricanes!
Hope this helps.
Re: Getting Started at 50
I'm with you. I'm 49 and have a few more years before empty nest. I'm working on a schooner and sailing small boats and hope to buy something big enough to live on in a few years. Good luck!

Re: Getting Started at 50
I was over 50 when I got back into sailing after over 35 years (and didn't do a lot of sailing back then). Bought a 21 footer, a 26 by the end of that summer, and then 4 years later, retired and bought a 32, that I've lived on for over 6 years.
Re: Getting Started at 50
We live in Atlanta, GA. We have been looking around for some sailing clubs on some of the local lakes for some nearby opportunities to sail. We will try and plan another trip early next year back to the BVI for some more time there as well.

The FTC's Fight to Can Spam
By Jane Black
In September, 2000, the Federal Trade Commission sent letters to junk e-mailers, warning them that a chain letter they were sending via the Internet was illegal. The letter promised that if the recipient sent $5 to the names at the top of a list, they would receive as much as $46,000 within 90 days. The scam was so brazen, it even urged potential recruits who doubted its legitimacy to contact the FTC's associate director for marketing practices. The agency warned the senders -- also known as "spammers" -- to stop promoting the chain letters, to return any money they had received, and to forward a copy of the warning letter to everyone they had contacted.
Yet, more than a year later, when FTC investigators searched online newsgroups and the agency's junk e-mail database, they still found more than 2,000 participants in the chain letter from almost 60 countries. "I am the FTC associate director for marketing practices," says Eileen Harrington, "and these chain letters are illegal."
On Feb. 12, 2002, the agency settled with seven defendants. The move, according to Howard Beales, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, marks the beginning of the agency's "systematic attack" on spam scams and deceptive opt-out notices, which promise consumers that their names will be removed from spammers' lists but usually lead to an additional flood of offers.
The FTC effort should be applauded. Cracking down on Internet fraud is essential to bolstering e-commerce. But while it's easy to target blatant rip-off schemes, the commission's larger task -- a far more difficult one -- will be to stem the tidal wave of e-mail advertising everything from low mortgage rates to teenage sex. "It's a hard problem to control," admits Beales. "We're starting with the parts we can get at. It's only a drop in the bucket, but every little bit helps."
The spam bucket is huge indeed. The FTC has amassed a database of more than 8 million spam messages. Every day, 10,000 more arrive. According to Jupiter Media Metrix, Internet users received an average of 571 pieces of unsolicited commercial e-mail in 2001. That number is expected to rise to 1,500 annually by 2006.
The increase in spam is more than a simple annoyance: It could be a threat to the Internet economy. Messages from legitimate marketers are lost in the flurry of bogus offers and pornography promotions. Internet service providers (ISPs) face escalating bandwidth costs from having to beef up their networks to accommodate the flood of e-mail. These costs are either passed along to consumers or they hurt the outfits' bottom lines. Jason Catlett, executive director of antispam group Junkbusters, estimates that 3% to 4% of Internet bandwidth is taken up by spam.
To date, the fight against spam has been mostly unsuccessful. Legislators shy away from new regulations that could crimp free speech. As technical solutions emerge, spammers become more cunning -- and malicious. Spam won't disappear. But there are concrete steps that the FTC and legislators can take to reduce the deluge of junk e-mail.
First, the FTC should crack down on junk mailers who use false return addresses -- also known as "spamouflage." I suspect that would cut back on most of the junk mail, much of which comes from addresses such as firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com. (I replied to both of these addresses and had my messages returned.) Spammers use false return addresses to prevent Netizens like me from tracking them down and asking them to stop.
False opt-out instructions are equally common. Antispam campaigners allege that many opt-out links are mere tricks. A user who clicks on a link to be removed from mailing lists will receive more, not fewer, offers because they have unwittingly confirmed that the spammer has reached an active e-mail account. Another spammer trick is to forward angry responses to antispam Web sites, which then receive tongue-lashings from the very people they are trying to help.
These cases aren't as high profile as the fraudulent snail-mail chain letters that bilk innocent senior citizens out of their retirement money. But a crackdown on deceptive practices of the Information Age would send a strong message -- and deter some spammers from sending junk e-mail in the first place. The FTC's Beales says the agency is working on such cases and hopes to see results soon.
Now, Congress needs to get involved. Previous attempts to pass federal spam legislation have failed -- either because businesses objected or because the provisions were so watered down that privacy advocates refused to lend their support.
Spam legislation should be something everyone can get behind. Without it, marketers will be forced into the difficult position of trying to comply with the patchwork of state laws springing up across the country. Already 19 states have passed some sort of antispam legislation. California law requires that unsolicited e-mail includes a viable return address or a toll-free number that recipients can call to request that the advertiser cease and desist. The law also mandates that the subject line of unsolicited mail include "ADV" for advertisement or "ADV ADLT" for messages that market adult content.
A federal law would make it easier for legitimate marketers to get the word out, while limiting the reach of pernicious spammers. Congress should mandate an "opt-in" plan that requires Internet marketers to get permission before they send out e-mail promotions. The economics of spamming are simply too good for stringent opt-out laws alone to have much of an effect -- though they are a necessary first step. It costs about 20 cents to send 500,000 e-mail messages, according to Junkbusters' Catlett, who warns: "If opt-out were to prevail, e-mail, the killer application of the Internet, would become the application that killed the Internet."
Passing a new law won't be easy. The powerful Direct Marketers' Assn. opposes any opt-in schemes limiting marketers' ability to fire off new promotions. And the provision could be seen as infringing on free speech. Moreover, the FTC's Beales says there's no guarantee that opt-in schemes will work. "I get a fair amount of spam from marketers who say I've opted in. I have no clue what they're talking about," he laughs. "Requiring opt-in won't solve the problem. Enforcement is key."
Beales may be right. But with the tide of spam rising, along with Internet users' tempers, it's essential that lawmakers take the first steps. As Beale himself says, every little bit helps.

Kenmore washer 2130 (p/n W10280543A) won't spin
I have a Kenmore washer 2130 (p/n W10280543A) that no longer spins. It was purchased in 2011 and is no longer under warrenty. I have tried various load sizes, wash temps, one rinse/2nd rinse, stainboost on/off, and wash types (bulky, normal, etc). I have used only HE detergent. I was able to remove the back panel and only could access the plumbing and tub. I cannot figure out how to access the front components (such as motor, belts, etc). I have sceduled a service call via Sears, but, would like to try to fix this myself. Any thoughts on what typically goes wrong when the washer will no longer spin? Typical repair costs? Should I cancel the service call and buy new?

Having a properly working washer is very important. The problem with the spin cycle can be frustrating. I found some information for you that I am hoping will help you. Please click here: Kenmore Model #2130 Will Not Spin]. Your expert will also help answer your question. It may take two business days for your expert to reply. I do hope that everything works out with the Kenmore washer.
Jennifer, July 15, 2013
Thanks Marc. This particular washer does not have an electronic display, thus, no error code messages are viewable.
Bill__W, July 18, 2013
Thanks for contacting ManageMyLife. I understand how frustrating it is having trouble with your appliance.
I would recommend the service call remain in effect so as to allow you to get the washer up and running at a minimum of cost.
Please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance. We are always here to help.
Thank you for using ManageMyLife.com.
Jennifer, July 18, 2013
Thanks for everyone's help. Went back to square one and unplugged and re-plugged in the washer. Reset the computer. Works great now. Saved myself $75.

Good Job!

Draper has been overseeing a major overhaul of British tennis in the 14 months he has been in the job.
"It's been a pretty bad culture in British tennis," said Draper.
"While we will give all the funding support and encouragement, we've also got to be pretty ruthless with people's attitudes and behaviours."
There are currently no British women in the world's top 100 and just two British men.
That contrasts with countries like Serbia, who have managed to produce three players in the world's top 10 with facilities that pale in comparison with the LTA's state-of-the-art national tennis centre in Roehampton.
Britain is also way behind the likes of France, who have 12 men in the top 100, and Spain, who have 13.
"Probably my biggest disappointment this last year was that the behaviour of people in British tennis is not really conducive to winning and success," said Draper.
"Everyone has their own views but at times it's like running some sort of kindergarten.
"Over the years, when you look back at the talent we've had, I think a lot of that talent has been wasted and it's been wasted because people haven't been leading professional lifestyles.
"That's why we've been bringing in people like Bill Sweetenham from swimming and some of the rowing guys.
"It's changing the culture and making sure that our athletes are educated, not just from a social point of view, but from a strength and conditioning point of view.
"Rafael Nadal doesn't look like he is going out partying every night. He goes in the gym every day.
"People have got to either get behind what we're trying to do or go and do something else."
After recruiting high-profile coaches such as Brad Gilbert, Paul Annacone, Peter Lundgren and Carl Maes to work with Britain's leading players, Draper says the LTA is now aiming to broaden the base.
"Last year we started at the top end, getting a world-class coaching team in place, moving to the national tennis centre and making sure the players have no excuses in terms of sports science, medicine and nutrition," he said.
"Our focus now is at the bottom end, getting more kids competing.
"There is no point having great coaches at the top end if you haven't got great coaches working with nine and 10-year-olds.
"It's a numbers game. Compared to France, we have the same number of people playing tennis but we've only got 10,000 juniors and they've got 80,000 and that's why we got one or two in the top 100 and they've got eight or nine."

Don't buy cheap eBay bulbs!!
I know, I made a stupid mistake and now I have to pay for it. I bought these bulbs thinking that they would give me a slight whitish look instead of the factory yellow. After having them installed for 10 minutes when I came to a stop light I could smell something burning (smelled like something electrical), so I turn off the lights and then a few minutes later when I arrive at my destination I open the hood to see that the entire low-beam headlight assembly had melted along with the bulb casing. Luckily this was only on the passenger side, the drivers side bulb was stuck but I was able to free it eventually and force the factory bulb back in.
I E-Mailed the eBay seller but I doubt that will go anywhere, so now I get to buy a new passenger side headlight assembly on my 2 week old car!! Lowest price I found was $338, have you seen anything cheaper?

It's the socket where the bulb is secured into the headlight that is melted, so I can't get the factory bulb to fit back in securely. The wiring harness is fine, thank god!

It seems as though he may have a lot of issues going on ,like people some dogs are more sensitive than others to mold,cleaning supplies,grass,etc.Unfortunately a dermitologist may be your answer.

Yes Esther they do. If I wasn't able to get answers to what was causing Mabel to lose all her hair - our next step was taking her to a doggie allergist. Her doctor was already talking to her about Mabel - we were just waiting for the allotted time for her to be on the new food. Thank God the food was the culprit - all her hair is growing back and we didn't have to go see the allergist.
Sounds like it would be a good idea for you to ask your vet to recommend one for you. I hope you find answers sooner than later - I know how stressful and costly it can be.

THIS SOUNDS ALMOST LIKE WHAT FLASH HAS. (EXPECT FOR THE GAS) SHE DOES ITCHY UNTIL THERE ARE RED BUMPS AND NO HAIR. We are also trying different food but idk if its helping. I have found that she itches for a few days hard and then seems to stop or slow down a day or two. Also I put Benadyall (sp) spray on the sores and it helps alot. But it never goes away. We have tried different shot from the vet and they work for a week then quit. Flash isnt overweight though and the vet shes looks perfect with everything else. Please keep me informed about how you treat this and anyhthing else you find out. Hope Virgil get better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I really don't have anything "helpful" to add. I am just SO sorry to hear Virgil and you are suffering so much. Personally, I would attempt about any suggestion offered here, from covering carpet, Water/steam cleaning, to removing it. Start small (cheap) and work from there. Have you had Virgil allergy tested? I know it is very expensive (one of the girls at my office is going thru it with her Maltese). In the mean time, if the t-shirt seems to help... I would by him a whole wardrobe.

Wow, first I just want to say you sure are dealing with a lot of issues with your baby and I know how frustrating that can be.
It does sound like he has yeast issues. Are you bathing him with a shampoo specifically for that and leaving the shampoo on him for at least 10-15 minutes before rinsing? With as bad as his skin sounds, he should be getting several baths a week for as long as it takes to clear it up. No fun, I know. I've used this shampoo for Yogi
Douxo - Chlorhexidine PS + Climbazole Shampoo DOGS & CATS (6.8 fl oz) and these wipes for his underarm area.
Douxo Chlorhexidine 3% PS Pads (30 count)
Yogi's always going to have allergies but over the years I have learned to manage them and I have spent a fortune at the vet. I hate using steroids, I don't believe that they are the answer because it doesn't fix the problem and in the long run, I believe the cause more problems. I have learned through trial and error what works for him and no longer take him to the vet for skin issues. I try to check his skin everyday and if I start seeing a problem I use the wipes on his underarms and if it becomes more widespread we go to the bathing. Right now he's having some problems because of leaf mold.
I know you said he just went on a new food, has that not helped to decrease the amount of gas he has? Yogi didn't have gas but we did do the food trial for allergies, didn't help at all. I do have him on a very high quality food which I do think helps but nothing is ever going to be a "cure all" for him.
Also, I don't know how long it takes but I'm sure it will take a while before the thyroid med really starts to improve some of his skin issues.
I'm going to send you a pm with some more info. Good luck and hang in there!

Thanks everybody for all your input and support. Thar in itself has been a breath of fresh air for me. My friends n fam are sicka hearin bout virgs newest problems im sure. Its a relief to know im not alone on some of his problems. My fiance is beyond stressed. We jus bought a new house in june which I thought would answer all virgs problems if it was something he was allergic ti in old but turns out its worse. But.... Leaf mold could b huge trigger. We have biggest tree ive ever seen in back yard. I bagged up 19bags of leaves last couple days. no I did not do allergy test last yr when it started cuz price, tho weve now spent way over that in meds n vet visits. The shirts still helpin 85% of time. I had to give him prednisone last night. But tgats one pill over last 3days which is better than before wo shirt. Gettin him more shirts soon rather its makin or findin ones that fit. Mikey on here said food could take 12 wks to see signs of improvement so thats my newest trial im waitin on before dermtog. Visit. His food is a hyperallegenic $80 bag from vet, not sure name right noe. Ill post it later. Going to get goldmond powder today from under arms and spray for belly. Im not goin to mess w carpet till after food trial. Carpets everywhere in my new house so cant restrict him from it. The gas I think is side effect from prednisone or atleast thats makin him eat every stick branch leaf outside even tearin bark off tree. Which is causin gas? Has gotten better as im tryin to supervise that more /hes ate it all lol. But was so bad he smelled like farts so much we limited our guests comin over cuz our house jus stunk constantly. I finally smelled the frito basset smell everyone was talking bout. I wish thats all he smelled like. As far as baths, at old house id bath him ev couple weeks mayb once a mth. But he never had the gas or was a problem stinkywise. Since boughr new house, found out our bathroom jad major problems so we had to gut the entite thing. Havent been able to afford to fix it and only other bath is in basement (steeps steps) that he cant do n id ratger not coax him to with his front paws bei.g so crooked (ones nearly backwards) and carryin a panicked 74pound dog downstairs is outa the question. So I was showerin him outside w hose for summer (we both hated) & now ive been bringin him to the local dog wash which is sweet and perfect till our bath gets fixed. Im goin to try to wash him every sunday but I heard if u wash bassets to often it messes w their skin? I use shampoo from vet, samw brand as his ear solution to clean those suckers but I have not kept it on for 10min. Ill try that now. Im always scared itll burn his belly tgos cuz its sooo raw. Ill keep everyone posted on new results. Oh his weight problem supposedly due to thyroid disease which was to decrease w his pills but had increased two pounds. I feed him cup food in am n at night. But hes still hungry trying to eat stuff outside.

This is so sad. I too have a basset with allergies. Was doing good until she got a loaf of bread off the counter on Sept. 13 th and has been itching sense.
I took her to the groomer because I thought she might have better stuff than I. Have been very busy working for hunting season so I have not had time to bath her again and I need to rinse her in apple cider vinegar 50/50 with water for a rinse.
Also you may try organic coconut oil. It is anti itch and also anti inflammatory.
I feed her all raw because of her allergies but that bread has put her into a tail spin.
I don't know anything about the thyroid. Wish I could help there.
I know I can put wheat on top of Turtles list. Little stink was eating frozen slimy melon in the garden yesterday, no wonder her allergies are not getting better .

I thought it would be fun to let my son decorate his own small tree this season. Rather than buying ornaments, we created some using small dinosaur toys, glitter, and pipe cleaners. Our inspiration was a store-made ornament a friend of mine spotted last year. Unlike that one, ours aren't fragile and they kept my son entertained for quite some time as we created them.
Gather your supplies. You can use any small toy for the ornaments. We chose dinosaurs because my son loves them and we had some on hand. Parents: Use the thread to add a "hanger" to the toy. Cut a length of thread about 5 inches long. Fold in half and tie about 1 to 1.5 inches from the fold to create a loop. Then tie to the toy body and trim ends.
My three-year-old son had more fun squeezing on a lot of glitter glue! The joy of an art project: Everyone has their own idea and special creation. Once you have finished adding glitter, set the toys aside to let dry.
Let the child select a color of pipe cleaner to decorate their dinosaur. Adults only: Cut small 1 to 2 inch sections from the pipe cleaners using a wire cutter or needle nose pliers. Use the pliers to pinch the cut tips to prevent little fingers from getting poked.

St-Emilion wines remain without classification
By Claude Canellas
BORDEAUX (Reuters Life!) - Bitter tears are falling in some glasses of ruby red Saint-Emilion wines after a Bordeaux court confirmed an earlier ruling throwing out the latest classification of one of France's best known wine areas.
This means that some bottles of the 2006 and 2007 harvest need to change their labels, while the 2008 and 2009 vintages are in limbo.
But it's not just a tempest in a French tea cup. The dispute over classification has already hit exports.
In August the United States barred some Saint-Emilion wines fearing the labels did not accurately describe the contents, with some 2006 and 2007 bottles carrying the wrong information.
The Bordeaux court on Monday upheld a lower court decision not to approve the Saint-Emilion classification for the 2006-2016 period because not all wines were produced in the same fashion.
"It is getting urgent to put a system in place to quickly establish a new classification," said Philippe Thévenin, lawyer for some of the winemakers in the case.
"Only a new tasting on equal terms is now possible,' he added. The Agriculture Ministry or the INAO wine classification body still have the option to go to the state council for a further ruling.
Earlier the French senate had proposed to keep the old classification in force until a new one was organized. Continued...

All-Mountain defensive tackle, Jerome Long, had a career year in 2011 for the San Diego State Aztecs. He led the team in tackles with 73 and notched five sacks. Long stands 6'5" and comes in around 300 pounds. The Chiefs might move him to defensive end and because of his inside/outside versatility, Long could provide some much needed depth on the defensive line.
If the Chiefs keep him at Nose Tackle, Long has the ability to gain weight. The soon to be graduating Senior bulked up some 60 pounds from his freshman year.
At either position, he's a project. That won't diminish the fact Long has some solid pass rushing skills. Plus for a defensive lineman, he's a solid tackler. That's something the Chiefs need more of heading into the 2012 season. My guess is that he'll play some special teams. But if you're looking for an even higher ceiling for Long, he does remind me a bit of former Chief, Jared Allen. ?
As their last pick of the draft, the Chiefs curiously added another wide receiver, Junior Hemingway from Michigan. In round five, the Chiefs added Fresno State burner, Devon Wylie. Now Wylie is a slot guy but Hemingway is a big strong receiver who could gain a roster spot as a back-up.
Still with rumblings that Dwayne Bowe and the Chiefs continue to haggle over a new contract or that he was on the trading block this weekend, the Chiefs were wise to add a pair of receivers Saturday.
But that's not the only reason they took Hemingway. He has the size and weight to play inside as a slot/hybrid tight end. Though I don't think that's going to be a position that he ultimately settles in with the Chiefs because I do think he's better as an outside receiver, he does possess good route running skills, has a high motor and decent (not great) hands.
That aside what Hemingway does bring to the Chiefs short term is insurance should Bowe continue to go through the offseason workouts unwilling to sign his franchise tender or lower his contract demands.
The good thing about that is Hemingway comes to the Chiefs with his eyes wide open about earning a roster spot. If the Bowe saga continues, he might get a better chance to make this team than he ever thought considering he was one of the last players taken in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Will both Long and Hemingway make the final 53-man roster for the Chiefs?
