The Board of Education voted at its meeting on Tuesday, April 9, to have former Newtown Superintendent of Schools John Reed begin his term as acting interim superintendent on May 6, when Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson will begin a vacation.
The motion came following an executive session that included Dr Robinson and the board's attorney Floyd Dugas.
At its March 5, meeting the Board of Education announced it had received Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson's letter of resignation, and by the end of that meeting, the board passed two motions to begin searching for both an interim and a permanent superintendent.
By its March 19 meeting, the school board was ready to name Dr Reed as interim superintendent in the school district.
The unanimous vote made by the school board April 9 amended Dr Robinson's contract to read, "The Superintendent will begin vacation effective May 6 through June 28 and will be paid out for 21 days of unused vacation time at the end of her employment. Dr John Reed will be the acting superintendent and take over all the roles and responsibilities of the superintendent from May 6 through June 28."
Dr Robinson's resignation will be effective on June 28; she has accepted the position as superintendent of schools in Stratford.
After roughly 20 years as Newtown's superintendent of schools, Dr Reed retired in 2002. Since then, he has acted as interim superintendent in other districts. He has also been active in town. He served on the Fairfield Hills Authority until resigning, as its chairman, in January 2012.
Also during the meeting, the school board heard a report on its professional growth plan for teachers, and heard an update on the district's application for a Project SERV (School Emergency Response to Violence).
For more information on the school board's Tuesday, April 9, meeting, see this week's print edition of The Newtown Bee.

Fantastic flip-flops for summer fun
Flip-flops are the easiest shoe to wear in the hot summer weather and the perfect choice for going to the beach or pool. Depending on where you live, you may also wear your flip-flops year round (like me) so it's important to have a few good flips to choose from. Here's a look at 10 pairs that are comfortable and stylish for your summer vacations and beyond.

Each Monday, we turn to a day in the newspaper's history for a look at what the Editorial Board found worthy of comment. We will preserve the punctuation and capitalization of the original editorial column. Here is what we wrote on April 1, 1963:
Day of Reckoning Coming ...
The President's proposed budget, which is by far the most important domestic matter Congress must deal with, envisions spending in the $100 billion plus area. If, with it, the also-proposed presidential tax recommendations were adopted, the deficit would be largest in history, including time of hot war.
This, the program's supporters, is apparently a problem of relatively small significance - everything will take care of itself and business stimulation resulting from reduced taxes will on some vague future day take care of all the deficits. They seem to reason that greater spending, lower taxes, a Welfare State, and the ultimate in military readiness all go neatly into a reasonable package.
Arthur Krock, the veteran New York Times columnist, who can hardly be termed a reactionary, writes, "Item by time the budget reflects the weird and incessantly disproved economic theory that government can bestow all these material benefits without a grim reckoning at any time in the future. It is the death of a viable economy that is risked by the items which pile on the billions."
Views similar to this could be quoted from a very long list of people, newspapers, organizations and groups, representing the whole spectrum of social, economic and political opinion. The question of how a nation - any more than a family - can keep on indefinitely spending beyond its income and survive financially has not yet been answered.

Ga. police fatally shoot knife-wielding suspect
By Lateef Mungin,
GWINNETT, Ga. — Drugs may have led to the bizarre incidents that resulted in a police officer fatally shooting a knife-wielding man.
The officer, whose name has not been released, shot Valdivia after he stole a patrol car and kept ramming it into a pickup truck.
The shooting occurred after police responded to a report about 7:15 a.m. Friday that Valdivia was threatening at least two people with a knife at a gas station near South Lee Street and Buford Highway in downtown Buford.
Police said a white powdery substance was found in Valdivia's possession. Authorities are waiting for tests to confirm that the substance was an illegal drug and that Valdivia had consumed the substance, Gwinnett police Cpl. Darren Moloney said.
"We sent all the evidence to the GBI for testing," Moloney said. "We suspect that the substance he had on him was a narcotic, but the GBI will determine if he had it in his system."
Authorities also found a U.S. Permanent Resident card or "green card" on Valdivia's possession that had a different name, Moloney said.
Police didn't identify the name on the card but are working with agents from the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement agency to determine why Valdivia was carrying the card, Moloney said.
The officer's name who shot Valdivia was not released because there is an internal investigation into the shooting, police said. The officer has been with the Gwinnett police department for 11 years, Moloney said.
The officer was placed on paid administrative leave, which is department policy after an officer is involved in a fatal shooting. The department is conducting an internal investigation into the shooting and that investigation will be reviewed by the county district attorney, Moloney said.
Witnesses said they saw Valdivia acting strangely before he was confronted by police Friday.
A gas station clerk said Valdivia entered his store looking nervous and carrying a knife. The clerk said Valdivia then ran from the store and attempted to pump gas from several pumps even though he did not have a car.
Valdivia then ran into the street and tried to stab passing cars before police arrived, the clerk said.
Police said Valdivia attacked the first officer on the scene and was able to steal the officer's police cruiser. Valdivia drove about 200 yards before crashing into another vehicle.
There were no other injuries in the incident.

Family thrilled for Bruins' Bartkowski
Penguins/NHL Videos
The biggest thrill for Beth Bartkowski was opening up the game-day program and seeing her son Matt's photo on the Boston Bruins roster, a parent's pinch-yourself moment during the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Wearing her custom-made white Bruins T-shirt with "Mama B" and Bartkowski's No. 43 on the back, Beth Bartkowski reminisced about her son's rise from playing hockey in Mt. Lebanon to playing against the hometown team in the Eastern Conference final.
"He's not a Pittsburgh boy anymore," Beth said. "He's truly Boston through and through. That's his team. The jitters are gone. He's fitting in. Now, Matthew is coming on the ice as a true Boston Bruin."
But Bartkowski was a healthy scratch for Game 1 Saturday at Consol Energy Center as the Bruins pulled him in favor of veteran Andrew Ference.
The Bartkowski family sat in Section 113 at Consol Energy Center, with Beth joined by her husband, Rick, Matt's grandfather, Rich, and former Mt. Lebanon assistant coach David Dorsey, who was excited to see the first Lebo player in the NHL but was still rooting for the Penguins.
"It's tremendous, especially in a game of this magnitude," said Dorsey, who bought the custom T-shirt for Beth Bartkowski at Game 3 of the second-round series against the New York Rangers at Boston's TD Garden.
"Let's just hope he does well this series and the Pens win. I'm not rooting for the Bruins. I'm a Penguins fan. I'm rooting for Matt, but not the Bruins."
Bartkowski's best friend, Josh Mandic, wore Matt's old Amateur Penguins sweater to the game, while Jordan Hogan and Jessie O'Hara wore his home and away Mt. Lebanon jerseys with his No. 12. Bartkowski's younger brother, Stephen, is in training at West Point Military Academy, and couldn't attend.
"Just to have him come back home and play against the Penguins in the Stanley Cup playoffs," Rick Bartkowski said, "it probably doesn't get any better than this."
That wasn't lost on Matt Bartkowski, a 24-year-old rookie defenseman who played in only 11 regular-season games for the Bruins but has played in seven playoff games. A seventh-round pick by Florida in 2008 before being traded to the Bruins in March 2010, he was amazed by the attention he drew from reporters after the morning practice.
"You can't beat playing in your hometown in playoff hockey," he said. "Your family and friends are able to come and watch and you're able to play playoff hockey. It's like a dream you have as a kid."
Beth Bartkowski remembers her son pointing to the television while watching the Stanley Cup playoffs as a 3-year-old and saying, "That's what I want to do." The Penguins, coincidentally, were playing the Bruins in the 1991 Wales Conference final on their way to winning the Stanley Cup for the first time.
"If we were in Vancouver, it would be the same: Our son is in a Stanley Cup playoffs game. How unbelievable is that?" she said. "He started in third grade, and this was his dream."
Beth Bartkowski also recalled watching Matt play hockey between periods at Civic Arena, squirting a drink of water out of every bottle from the Penguins' bench during the intermission.
"I think he was trying for Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr's DNA," Beth joked. "Who would have ever thought he'd be playing here in the playoffs?"
Now, his family is thrilled that he is playing against the Penguins.
"It's the greatest thing in the world," Rich Bartkowski, of Baldwin, said of seeing his grandson play against the Penguins. "I couldn't be prouder."

Are mayflies and lake flies the same thing? I say yes, and my wife says no!Answer
You might be taking your wife out to eat tonight because mayflies and lake flies, while both aquatic insects, are not the same. ...
Scott Koehnke, a water management specialist for the state Department of Natural Resources, gave me a crash course on freshwater entomology. He said mayflies belong to the Ephemeroptera order (four membranous wings, abdominal filaments) and are typically found in moving water like rivers and streams. They are a major food source for trout.


text: I would like to disable the auto door lock. I use my truck for working on a farm and i have to get in and out and start it up a lot. I find the auto lock a large pain. Right now the only way to keep it from auto locking while in park is to leave the door open. A pain in winter and invites the insect world in summer. I would like for it to engage when the cargo light turns off when the vehicle is in motion. Any Ideas for this mod?

An investigation into arsenic(V) removal from aqueous solutions by hydroxylapatite and bone-char.
Sneddon, I. R. and Garelick, Hemda and Valsami-Jones, Eugenia (Éva) (2005) An investigation into arsenic(V) removal from aqueous solutions by hydroxylapatite and bone-char. Mineralogical Magazine, 69 (5). pp. 769-780. ISSN 0026-461X
Full text is not in this repository.
Arsenic(V) removal from aqueous solution following addition of either a mixture of synthetic hydroxylapatite and baryte or bone-char is discussed. Arsenic concentrations of 4, 10 and 100 mg/l were investigated and additions of 0.2–10 g/l of solid (hydroxylapatite, baryte or bone-char) were tested, at an initial pH of either 5 or 7. Although the mixture of hydroxylapatite and baryte had a small influence on arsenic concentrations, bone-char was found to be a very effective sorbing agent for arsenic(V). Packed-column studies to investigate the bone-char capacity, followed by leaching tests were carried out. The capacity of bone-char was found to be superior to that of granular activated carbon. The experiments presented here indicate that the mechanism involved is adsorption rather than co-precipitation.

This app provides institutions with the ability to add/activate or inactivate a Warning Flag or Lockout Flag on a group of persons or accounts. The batch application may be configured to process the flags maintenance based on parameter values, or to read in a comma-delimited file of data to be updated. This application produces a single report detailing the changed data and listing any errors.
A runtime parameter (8IS) defines whether the application will read an input file or use the remaining run-time parameters to process the Warning and Lockout Flags. The 'Parameters' option works well if a large number of persons, organizations, or accounts need to have a the same action performed (i.e. expiring all warning flags of a specific type). If, however, the required updates vary (i.e. some persons, some organizations, varying flags and actions), then the 'File' option should be selected. If a file is used, then the remaining run-time parameters, except 'Report Only YN' and 'Record Activity Y/N', will be ignored. For each warning or lockout flag update performed, the application can write the corresponding information to the Activity table, depending on the setting of the 'Record Activity Y/N' application parameter.

Things to Worry About
On April 13, 2036, the asteroid 99942 Apophis will strike the earth with a probability of about 1:5900. Apophis, which is about 320 m in diameter and has an approximate mass of 4.6×10
kg, would have the effect of a 880 megaton explosion if it hit; for comparison, Krakotoa was about 200 megatons.
On May 28, 2057, the asteroid 2005 WY55 will strike the earth with a probability of about 1:8200. The diameter of 2005 WY55 is estimated at between 210 and 480 meters.
On May 4, 2102, the asteroid 2004 VD17 will strike the earth with a probability of about 1:1600. 2004 VD17 is about 580 m in diameter, with a mass estimated at 2.7×10
kg. An impact would have an estimated effect of 15,000 megatons.
On March 16, 2880, the asteroid 1950 DA will strike the earth with a probability of at most 1:300. The size and mass of 1950 DA are poorly known, but since it is over 1 km in diameter an impact would be expected to cause global devastation.
A "supervolcano" eruption, which would dramatically cool global climate for several years, could occur at any time. The last such eruption may have occured 74,000 years ago, when the Toba eruption (in what is now Indonesia) cooled temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere so much that it has been estimated that three-fourths of plants there died. One past and probable future supervolcano is Yellowstone, which last erupted on this scale 640,000 years ago; if repeated today, it would cover half the United States with 3 meters of ash.

Announcement: AmP to join APP June 1st
On June 1st I will join the newly-formed American Principles Project (APP) as Communications Director. I have tremendous respect for its founder, Dr. Robert George of Princeton University, and I'm very excited about the people I will be working with day-to-day. Furthermore, I believe APP will give me a new and unique opportunity to do good, so much so that it is worth giving my focused energy.
My new employers have graciously allowed me to continue my blogging on these pages. At American Papist I will continue to provide breaking stories, clarify rumors, and spread awareness of the good things happening in the Catholic world online and offline. This mix of offerings has quickly propelled AmP into becoming one of the highest-visibility Catholic blogs in the world and I want it to continue flourishing.
My specific coverage of political and some social issues will transition over to the new American Principles Project (APP) blog, where I will benefit from better access to important trends and information. As a perfect example of these new opportunities offered by APP, I will be live-blogging a debate between Doug Kmiec and Robbie George at the National Press Club tomorrow. I will post details about that event next.
Over the next month I ask your patience as I make this transition. While it is true that I will have many things on my plate, my commitment to my readers, tipsters, and fellow Catholic bloggers is unflagging! With hard work and God's grace, I hope that the good things begun here will continue to bear much fruit.

|Preparation of Antibodies and Development of an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the Determination of Doxycycline Antibiotic in Milk Samples.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22486559 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|This paper reports the development of an immunoassay for the specific analysis of doxycycline (DC), a congener of the tetracycline antibiotic family (TCs), in milk samples. This is the first time that DC antibody production is reported, based on a rationally designed and well-characterized immunizing hapten. The chemical structure of the immunizing hapten (13-[(2-carboxyethyl)thiol]-5-hydroxy-6-α-deoxytetracycline, TC1) was designed to maximize recognition of the tetracycline characteristic moiety defined as lower periphery of the TCs plus the region of the upper periphery composed by the hydroxyl group at position C(5) (B ring) and the dimethylamino group in ring A. Polyclonal antibodies raised against TC1 coupled to horseshoe crab hemocianyn (HCH) were used to develop a homologous indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The microplate ELISA can detect DC in buffer down to 0.1 μg L(-1). The ELISA has been proven to tolerate a wide range of ionic strengths and pH values. The assay is very selective for DC with a minor recognition of methacycline (32% of cross-reactivity). Experiments performed with whole milk samples demonstrate that samples can be directly analyzed after a simple treatment method, reaching detectability values below 5 μg L(-1).

Members of the Newtown Torpedoes swim team, on January 11, joined forces and hit the water at the Newtown High School pool for an event that had no first, second, or third place finishes affecting league standings, no opposing team, no heated races — but plenty of serious swimming and lots of heartfelt meaning. They swam lap after lap in the first Annual Newtown Torpedoes Swim-A-Thon, to raise money for the Daniel Barden Newtown Torpedoes Memorial Scholarship, in honor of the team member they lost in the Sandy Hook tragedy a little more than a year ago.
Torpedoes coaches Lisa Irving and Carl Fagerholm, along with the help of volunteer students, kept things organized and logged total laps for each swimmer. Participants raised a designated dollar amount as specified by sponsors for each lap they completed. Money raised — through family friends, co-workers, and door-to-door solicitations, will go to a graduating Newtown High School swimmer in memory of Barden. The award is set up through the Newtown Scholarship Association.
"It's a wonderful way to honor him and his kind of spirit of being kind and giving to others," Irving said.
Roughly 85 of the 125-or-so Torpedoes team members kept things going for about four hours throughout the afternoon. Each swimmer completed a maximum of 200 laps, or 5,000 yards during an hour to two hours in the water. All told, the participants completed a whopping 11,316 laps for a total of 282,900 yards. Torpedoes from the 8 and under and 9- to 10-year-old age groups swam for an hour and those from the 11 and over category swam for two straight hours.
Last year's award recipient, Sally Martinelli — now a club swimmer at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, was among those giving their time to lend a hand. Martinelli said she feels a responsibility, after winning the award, to honor Barden and help out the Torpedoes swim team members. And it's a fun way to do so, she notes.
"It's great. I love all the coaches and I love all the kids I know from swimming lessons," added Martinelli, who teaches summer lessons through Newtown Parks & Recreation's program.
"It's a great day for the team. This is so much fun — the kids are having a blast," Fagerholm said.
Swimmers are still collecting donations and will do so through January 24. Those interested in contributing may visit newtownct-gov, click on the Parks & Recreation tab on the left side of the webpage, and click the Donate tab on the bottom right side of the homepage where the event is detailed.

Bret Michaels scheduled for heart surgery
PHOENIX (AP) — Rocker Bret Michaels is set to undergo a procedure Monday to close a hole in his heart. A surgical team at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix will perform the procedure.
RELATED: Get the scoop on Michaels' big comeback to show business
Doctors in April treated Michaels for a brain hemorrhage, and it was at that time that doctors discovered the hole in his heart.
RELATED: Learn all about Michaels' VH1 reality show
The hospital says Michaels will undergo a cardiac catheterization during which doctors will insert a catheter into a vein in the groin and guide wires and a closure device into the heart with cameras assisting doctors as they operate to close the hole.
The closure device will remain in Michaels' heart permanently to stop abnormal blood flow between the two chambers of the heart, which is thought to have caused the warning stoke he suffered.
Doctors say that without the procedure, Michaels risks developing blood clots and an additional stroke.

Pioneering a Church Plant – Vision "Goal setting"
Mike Bradley
Breaking the vision down into bite-sized chunks is the art of goal setting. Mike Southern writes, "goal setting is about having a vision of where an individual can get to, and about understanding the steps they have to take to get there. Well-set goals plot a path to success via a series of challenging but achievable goals."2 Strategic goals are SMART: Specific; Measurable; Agreed; Realistic; Time phased.
One of the biggest challenges I have found in communicating short-term goals is making sure that communication takes place in the context of overall vision. Short-term goals can easily become the end product. A goal to run an Alpha course to launch a new church plant can easily become a series of successful Alpha courses, and the dream of planting a new church can be forgotten.

The Politics of Dancing
Last week I addressed the issue of gendered and sexualized power dynamics as central to the project of Romance, particularly heterosexual Romance. I almost wish I'd written that post after last night's Oscar show, because I think Seth MacFarlane's hosting reflected the kind of white male privilege we so often take for granted, to the point of "banality," as an article in The Atlantic put it. Take MacFarlane's joke about George Clooney and younger women, specifically the nine-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis, which MacFarlane probably intended specifically to satirize Clooney's May-December relationship pattern. From the Clooney side, the joke is incisive, because it highlights the absurd ease with which the older man, younger woman pairing is accepted. However, switching to the Wallis side of the joke, things get ugly fast, in part because of the historical pattern of inappropriate sexualization of the black female body, and in part because Wallis is nine. I truly believe that MacFarlane did not even think about the joke from that perspective, steeped in the kind of white male privilege that perceives a joke about George Clooney entering the realm of the "dirty old man" to be edgy and fresh.
In MacFarlane's case (and The Onion's, for that matter), the stakes are high enough that the privilege is pretty ugly and glaring. But this is not always (or most often) the case. When patterns of perception and behavior become so repetitive as to be expected, they can so easily become invisible to us that we tend to overlook them as distinguished and therefore noteworthy. Take, for example, the ease with which we accept the device of the virgin Romance heroine or the fertility epilogue. The association of childbearing and sexual chastity with morally respectable, even natural, womanhood is very deeply embedded in Western societies, and in turn, the perpetuation of these values in genre Romance seems almost natural to the genre.
Because I began with the MacFarlane example, I think I need to say here that unconscious, unexamined principles, ideas, and values are not necessarily a bad thing. There is a certain extent to which we all harbor unexamined perceptions, and I'm not even sure it's possible to have complete self-transparency within the society that has conditioned us to function well within its boundaries. Nor do I think we should always strive for that kind of illumination, because the risk of failure outweighs the possibility of insight. For example, sexual fantasies are produced from the unconscious, and while they may be influenced by social constructs, we can't know how they'd be different in a different cultural context. Rape fantasies are a perfect example of this. Would rape fantasy been so common and prevalent outside a patriarchal context? Would they be so ubiquitous in hetero Romance if women did not face such real life vulnerability to physical violence from men? I'm not sure research is ever going to be fully able to answer these questions, and I'm frustrated that so many women feel shame around sexual fantasies they do not consciously control and that are not harmful to them or others. Personal taste may be another alchemical combination of factors we may never fully understand.
At the same time, I think it's important that we don't automatically assume that norms in the genre are beyond intellectual understanding. In so many ways, genre Romance struggles collectively and overtly with many social norms, trying even to think beyond them (subverting rules about class differences, for example, or about sexual identity), while failing to question or even implicitly relying on others. As a genre rooted in social conservativism (e.g. preserving the nuclear family through marriage and children), Romance has struggled with how to accommodate changing social values with the traditional representation of romantic happiness through the marriage HEA and baby epilogue. And this makes sense, when you look at the genre's literary heritage.
Pamela Regis grounds her Natural History of the Romance Novel in Samuel Richardson's 1740 novel, Pamela. The full title of the novel is Pamela; Or Virtue Rewarded, and Richardson calls his own book a "good, … edifying and instructive little Piece" in order "to shew the World an Heroine, almost beyond Example, in an unusual Scene of Life, whom no Temptations, or Sufferings could subdue." As Regis notes, Richardson's novel is a courtship story between Pamela, a teenaged maid, and Mr. B, her "master," who basically holds her captive and attempts to morally debauch Pamela. The young heroine continues to resist Mr. B's persistent advances, ultimately falling in love with him and marrying him. Pamela's virtue is rewarded through marriage and social acceleration, while Mr. B becomes a better man through Pamela's refusal to accept his morally corrupt propositions (Jane Eyre, anyone?). Pamela's inherent virtue (identified via her virginity, of course) "saves" mr. B, while Pamela gains social and economic security by surviving the suffering she endures at the hands of the pre-redemption Mr. B.
I don't want to de-emphasize the importance of the courtship narrative analysis, in part because courtship is at the center of the Romance genre, even though the genre, as we know it, is a 20th century phenomenon. You can certainly move forward from Richardson, through the novels of sentiment and sensation in the late 18th and 19th centuries, and see incredibly strong connections between those novels – which often contemplated "good" and "bad" romantic choices for women – and modern genre Romance. Marriage choices were of upmost importance for women, and while genre Romance has shifted the focus to the happiness effect of the courtship, the courtship elements of the genre have been imported from novels of sentiment and sensation (along with gothic and other elements).
I had originally planned to use this post to make a transition into the captivity device in Romance and its relationship to the historic development of the Euro-American captivity, a genre that shares quite a bit with genre Romance, including massive popularity and blockbuster sales numbers. But before I get to that, I want to talk a little about how genre Romance slides right along that line between the conscious contemplation and unconscious acceptance of social and cultural norms, values, and rules. In part this is because Romance is all about boundaries, in particular those boundaries that continue to affect the most personal emotions by defining rules of identification and conduct. In other words, Romance is a perfect illustration of "the personal as political," because so often the love that these novels celebrate is socially taboo or even legally forbidden.
So why is this important? In part because Romance is simultaneously bringing the unfairness of certain social norms to our attention, while hiding the artificiality of others from our view. For example, historical Romance that criticizes arranged marriages but reinforces racial homogeny. Or the paranormal that undermines the trope of the physically weak heroine but relies on the sexual double standard that allows the hero more experience than the heroine. And to make it even more complicated, what each of us sees as transparent or hidden may vary, based on the particularities of our own conditioning.
This is a very powerful process. It reflects the way we see issues of sex and gender socially, it shapes the way we see the genre (what is "romantic" and what isn't), and it serves as a point of intersection between the way we feel (the personal) and the way we represent (the political). When you really think about all of the social boundaries Romance simultaneously crosses and reinforces, is it any surprise that those books that reflect what I'm calling "Extreme Romance" (e.g. Fifty Shades, Motorcycle Man, etc.), are often the most popular and the most controversial?
We all have different ways of reading and understanding the genre. I tend to read genre Romance through its literary ancestry, particularly sentimental/sensational fiction and captivity narratives. And that's where I'm heading with these posts, to a consideration of some of the more popular Extreme Romance novels through the lens of the genre's literary history, which, in turn, is a function of socio-cultural values and norms. I've already discussed some of the gender and sexuality issues, and next I'm going to focus on issues of cultural "otherness," disorientation, acclimation, and hybridization. I'm ultimately trying to get at some of the reasons I think exist for the massive popularity and importance to the genre of some of its more controversial books. I don't know how successful this will be, but I do hope it opens the door for some good discussions about how the genre is implicated in reinforcing social privilege while also helping us see – and hopefully move – past it.

This is a referral from a woman i know, NOT this kathy woman. Kathy will surrender this puppy to pit bull rescue.
Reba is a sweet, bouncy 5-6 month old red, rednose pup. She is very sweet
and loves to sit on your lap and give kisses. She rides in the car well (on
your lap) and has learned sit, down, come and we are working on stay. She
is crate trained and goes potty very well on her leash. She is pretty well
house broken but still needs to be taken out on a regular schedule since
she is still only a pup. Reba has already been spayed and given her shots
and gobbles up her puppy chow. She does not appear to be cat aggressive.
She is currently living with 2 cats but her foster mom doesn't give her a
chance to play chase. She is also living with a neutered male pit and loves
to play and romp with him. She would probably be best off either as an only
pet or with a dominant male but she needs a little bit of time to get to
know a new friend. She is good with children but likes to jump up and might
knock a young child over so older children or no children might be a better
idea. She is still in her puppy teething phase and needs chew toys so she
wont be destructive. Reba is going to make somebody a wonderful pet but her
foster mom strongly suggests she go to obedience school so she can become a
perfect little lady. She is already way on her way to be just that and is
in desperate need of a forever home since her foster mom just started a new
business and really can't give Reba the time and attention she deserves.
(Let me know if this is OK or if it is too negative I think it sounds
pretty good)

I went to buy some clear elastic to reinforce the shoulder seams in the knit t shirt I am making. They had no idea what I was talking about, and eventually showed me some silicone tape. It was stretchy and thin, and also very inexpensive, so I bought some in case that would work just as well.
Is silicone tape another name for clear elastic? Can I use them interchangeably? What else would I use silicone tape for?
Clear elastic is usually relatively inexpensive. However, this is a warning that some of the clear elastic is made for garment hanging, ie. the little straps that make sure the garment hangs correctly on the hanger. I have found that if I do the "stretch three times" (meaning I pull the elastic as far as it will go three times) I find that the cheapest "hanging elastic" breaks. Check that before gathering with it.
Maybe it depends on where you live. I thought Silicon tape was sold in the Hardware stores, as in like Duct Tape with no stitcky stuff on it, that sticks to it's self, and not sewing elastic at all, but maybe it could also be a regional term. If it's clear sewing elastic, made to be sewn through, in a garment, it would most likely be folded into a hank and in a plastic bubble on a cardboard hang tag, hanging on the wall in the fabric store. And someplace between 1/4 inch and 5/8 inches wide.
If it's Silicon Tape instead, in the Hardware store, used to patch and mend non fabric things, it would more likely be on a roll, over a cardboard core, and an inch wide or way wider.
So I would not consider them interchangeable at all. Also can't see what you got either though.
------"I meant what I said, and I said what I meant." - Horton(Dr. Seuss)
***When all else fails, call Tiffany.***
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.
You can always use a strip of the fabric's selvage to stabilize seams.
------"Improvise, adapt and overcome." - Clint Eastwood/Heartbreak Ridge
"Isn�t it a shame in today�s world you can�t tell the truth. If you tell the truth you�re abrasive. If you lie you�re charming." - Bob Huggins/College Basketball Coach
Brought back memories. I was in MT in 2009 and learned about clear elastic on a TV show. No shops (selling quilt fabrics) heard of it. Of course no big chain sewing store and search engines brought up lots of various confusing hits. So I found the tip for using selvedge and that worked well. I visited Spokane WA in 2010 and found it easily in a JoAnns I think.
Thank goodness for being able to put active links into PR posts so you can see what it is right now!
Let us know what use you made of the silicon tape!
------sewing brings joy and meaning to my life...
Frame, thank you so much for the link to the clear elastic images. Turns out, I think I *did* buy clear elastic :)
It was in a bag like this:
And I bought a meter that looked like this:
except it was a bit more kinked up from being in the bag for so long.
I went to a knitting supplies/notions store. Once the clerk brought out the bag of what she called silicone tape, she said it was for the neckline of strapless dresses. Does that make sense?
Can I use the silicone/clear elastic in a jewel neckline for a t shirt? I want good recovery so it doesn't turn into a scoop neckline. Do you think that would help?
Dinag, I can't tell from your pictures what your silicone tape/clear elastic looks like. The pictures are the same.
If it is stretchy, clear elastic makes for a great neckline on a t-shirt. You can stitch it directly to the edge of the fabric and fold over and topstitch. Somebody, a long time ago, wrote a great tip on using clear elastic in a neckline. It might be in the tips section. I wonder if I can find it.
ETA: It was Deepika herself! Here's a link. Using Clear Elastic to Stabilize Necklines
ETA #2: I wonder if clear elastic is called "silicone tape" where you are? I assume not in the U.S. because in the U.S. silicone tape is used for plumbing?
-- Edited on 10/5/13 6:28 PM --
If the clerk said it was for strapless necklines, I wonder if it's the "sticky" feeling stuff that's supposed to stick to the skin and help a strapless dress stay in place. It's thicker than clear elastic and has a bump or bead of the sticky-feeling silicone in the center. It has an strip on each side that is flat, non-sticky, and can be sewn through.

Josh Hamilton to be examined on Thursday
Rangers OF Josh Hamilton will travel to Philadelphia Thursday to have the groin injury that hampered him throughout the postseason examined.
Hamilton had acknowledged the possibility of a sports hernia during the World Series. He will see the same doctor, Dr. William Myers, who performed surgery to repair his sports hernia in 2009. Hamilton missed a month with that injury, so if he has a procedure soon to address the problem, he should be ready to go by the start of spring training.

The Maupins have 12 reasons to celebrate this Thanksgiving. They just added three more children to their family.
"We made the decision to adopt before we got married. it was sorta one of the deal breakers," says Heather Maupin, mom to almost 12 kids.
"I was pretty smitten by Heather and when she said would you adopt, I said yeah, I'd adopt," laughed Micah Maupin, dad.
The Maupins have 5 biological children, with the last one scheduled to arrive in January and six adopted children. Adele, Luke and Malachi officially became part of the family November 17th.
"They've brought so much excitement to our family. Just the different gifts that they've brought," Heather says.
And adding more to their family has always been a family decision.
"Before each adoption, we've asked our kiddos what would you like to do? Here are some children looking for a forever family. Every time, it's been an overwhelming enthusiastic yes, let's see if we can get them," Heather smiles.
"The reason we did this is because we really want people to see that
you can adopt. It's not this thing that other do and you sort of look
from the outside and say wow they're such great people look they've
adopted. It's something that really people are capable of," Micah says.
"I would say it's difficult and it's worth it. It's a step by step day
by day thing that you just want to ask God for the strength to do but
by having community and people around you to help you, it's really
doable," Heather says.
"You never really know if you can do something until you try. And you get in and you start to see there's such a need. Most people are more capable than they give themselves credit for. It's not as difficult as you might think .. it's challenging, but not impossible," Micah comments.

April 1 -- With Michigan's renewable energy standard set to expire at the end of 2015, and a high-profile fight over the standard in 2012 still fresh in many minds, debate has swirled about the costs and benefits of renewing or strengthening the law.
Amid the discussion, a recent study finds that Michigan could more than triple its renewable energy resources by 2030, with virtually no extra cost to consumers. >>View Article

Leaked Single Shows Off A Whole New Side To Katy Perry
The entire album was designed to be a departure from her earlier material, to show how the artist has matured. "I'm really excited for the world to hear it because she's just...she's taking a new approach," co-writer Bonnie McKee told MTV. "I don't want to say too much about it, but it's definitely different. It's definitely a little more mature than the 'California Gurls' of yesterday."
While there's no denying that "Roar" serves as a growing-up anthem for Perry (the chorus boasts, "I've got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancin' through the fire, 'cuz I am the champion and you're gonna hear me roar"), it's also got the head-bopping pop beats we can't help but dance to. Judging from this one track, we think we're going to like the whole album. Listen below and tell us what you think. (Huffington Post)

King County Sheriff's Office investigators said a sex offender changed addresses to a residence near Briarwood Elementary and Liberty High schools last month.
William Michael Vossler, 22, relocated to the 17000 block of Southeast 134th Street and reported the address change March 14.
Vossler registered as a Level III sex offender after being convicted of attempted rape of a child and voyeurism in King County in 2007. Police said Level III sex offenders have a high risk of re-offending.
Police said Vossler stands 6 feet, 1 inch tall, weighs 155 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes.
Residents can search for Vossler and other registered sex offenders at the sheriff's office sex offender website, www.kingcounty.gov/safety/sheriff/SOSearch.aspx.

Of course, we all know that in an emergency we need to contact our Vet, so it would be a wise thing to have the telephone number of your Veterinary Practice always within easy reach. You never know when you may need it.
The main thing to remember is always try to stay calm in an emergency. Never approach an animal that is in pain or injured too abruptly. It is best to approach slow and gentle. The animal will be pretty scared if they are in pain, just as we would be, and may be liable to bite. So care must be taken.
If you need to lift your pet, then gently place a hand under the chin (on the front of the chest), and the other hand behind the hind legs. Again remaining vigilant and taking care. If your pet seems aggressive you could try lifting them in a thick blanket or towel. They can still give a nasty bite through these though so care is needed. If you are bitten by your pet it would be wise to seek medical advice as soon as possible.
If it can be avoided, it is always best to phone your Vet rather that going straight to the surgery. They will be able to advise you if it is an emergency and most importantly, the surgery will be able to prepare for your pets treatment before you arrive if indeed it is an emergency.
- Place your pet on their side, check if breathing has stopped. You can do this by placing a small piece of fur at the nostril, if it moves, they are breathing.
- Open their mouth and pull the tongue forward. Remove any obstructions such as blood (taking care not to get bitten).
- If breathing does not start then extend the head so the nose is forward. Hold the mouth closed and blow into the nose 10 times per minute.
- If there is no heartbeat – push on the chest, just behind the forelegs every 1-2 seconds. Administer 2 breaths into the nose every 15 pushes.
- If this has not been successful after 3 minutes then recovery is unlikely.
Always call your Veterinary Practice if:
- Your pet is unable or reluctant to get up or move
- Your pet is trying to pass urine or faeces and they cannot. A blocked bladder is an emergency and can be fatal if not treated immediately. If your pets tail is limp, it may have been trapped in a door. This needs to be assessed by your Vet, as this can cause bladder problems.
- Your pet is having trouble breathing, if the breathing is rapid or noisy.
- If your pet is continuously coughing
- If your pet is in pain or discomfort
- If your pet is young or elderly and had continuous vomiting or diarrhoea.
- Any sudden difficulty with your pets balance.
If your pet has been involved in a road traffic accident but shows no sign of injury, please take them to your Vet as they may have injuries internally that are not visible. Always lift and transport your pet with care.
Broken bones - Care is needed, never use a splint as this could cause more harm and be very painful.
Poisoning – Never force your pet to vomit unless directed to do so by your Vet. If you have and packaging from the suspected substance take it with you when you contact your Vet. If the suspect was a plant then take a cutting with you to the surgery. If you know the name of the plant that is even more helpful.
Fits – If your pet seems to be having a fit the last thing they will need is any form of stimulation. So please do not hold the animal or try to comfort them. I know that this would be the first thing you would want to do, but it will not help them. You must darken the room and reduce any noise. (turn off any TV or music, keep quiet). Remove anything that could cause injury to your pet, such as items of furniture. If you cannot move the items then pad them with blankets and cushions. If your pet does bang into them, then it is less harmful if padded. Contact your vet.
Burns – Run cold water over the affected area for 5 minutes then contact your Vet.
Bleeding – Apply pressure to the area as you would with a human, use towels or clothing, anything you can find. If blood continues to seep through you will need more layers. NEVER use fibrous materials such as cotton wool directly onto the wound, this will make things worse. Also, NEVER use elastoplast over the would or directly onto your pets fur.
Fur contamination – It is important that you stop your pet from licking areas where the coat has been contaminated as some substances may be toxic. Never use Paint remover or anything like that on your pet. The best person to decide how to remove the substance is your Vet. Contact your Veterinarian and they will advise you if you should bathe your pet and what to use.
Heatstroke – If your pet has been trapped somewhere hot for too long (a car or greenhouse) they may suffer with heatstroke. Signs are; Panting, dribbling, distressed and weak. Find somewhere cool and shady to place them, if there is a draught, even better. Wet their coat with TEPID water and call the Vet. Cold water will contract the blood vessels and slow down heat loss, so do not use cold water.
Stings – If the sting is in the mouth or throat contact your vet as swelling may occur and restrict breathing. If your pet has been stung try to remove the sting by pressing below the poison sac. Then bathe with water or a Bicarbonate of Soda solution for a Bee sting. For a Wasp sting bathe with vinegar. You could sooth the area with ice too.
Your Pets First Aid Kit
- Bottle of sterile saline solution
- NON Adhesive absorbent dressings
- Bandages. The self adhesive ones are perfect.
- Conforming or open weave bandages
- Sterile absorbent gauze
- Cotton wool balls
- Surgical sticky tape.
- Buster collar
- Blunt ended scissors
- Towel
- Telephone number of your Veterinary Practice
Never under any circumstances administer human drugs to your pet, unless told to do so by your Vet. Do not offer your pet food or water in case they need to have an Anaesthetic.

In this photo released by the U.S. Attorneys Office, a recovered Fiji Island banded iguana that was seized from a suspect's Long Beach, Calif., home by officials from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service is shown Friday Sept. 21, 2007. Prosecutors allege the suspect, Jereme James, stole three hatchling Fiji Island banded iguanas in 2002 and brought them to the United States by concealing them in his prosthetic leg. (AP Photo/U.S. Attorney's Office)
NAPLES, Fla. (AP) - The chilly weather in southern Florida this
week was cold enough to force some iguanas to fall from trees.
Experts say the cold-blooded reptiles go into a deep sleep when
the temperature falls into the 40s. Their bodies basically shut off
and they lose their grip on the tree.
According to Collier County Domestic Animal Services control
supervisor Dana Alger, iguana reports traditionally rise when
temperatures drop, as the reptiles seek to warm themselves on
asphalt surfaces such as sidewalks, roads and driveways.
Most of the iguanas were once pets that got released when they
got too big. The reptiles can grow up to six feet long.

|The development and validation of a risk score for household infestation by Triatoma infestans, a Bolivian vector of Chagas disease.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22975298 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Chagas disease, primarily spread in Bolivia by the vector Triatoma Infestans, persists as an important public health problem. Preventative insecticide campaigns target spraying on the basis of anecdotal evidence and there is a need for an accurate classification score to correctly identify 'at risk' houses. Data were collected from 337 households on 11 variables through the use of a standardised questionnaire and survey. Risk factors for infestation were identified and a risk score was developed and validated on a separate cohort of 165 houses. Five significant risk factors were identified: cracks in the walls of houses; adobe walls; junk in the peridomiciliary area; no insecticide spraying in the previous two years; and freely ranging animals. A risk score was generated and then calculated for each house. Three risk categories were defined: low, medium and high risk. In the development cohort the infestation rates were 2%, 18% and 69% respectively. The corresponding infestation rates in the validation cohort were 7%, 30% and 75% respectively. Sensitivity and specificity for this test were 81% and 84% and the positive predictive and negative predictive values were 71% and 90%. The risk score developed could be used to inform decision making in underfunded multilateral preventative initiatives.
