To quantify the yield from stool testing in pediatric inpatients and to identify criteria to test stool more deliberately without sacrificing diagnostic sensitivity.
A retrospective review was performed of all stool cultures, ova and parasite examinations, and Clostridia difficile toxin assays performed on pediatric inpatients, aged 3 days to 18 years, at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa, for 1 year. Medical records were reviewed for positive cases, each with 2 controls matched for age and test type. For this study, the term admission refers to the interval between the times each patient was admitted to and discharged from the hospital. Some patients had multiple stool tests sent to the laboratory during a single admission; some patients had more than 1 admission during the study period. Statistical analysis was performed using χ2 analysis and the Student 2-tailed t test with a commercially available statistical software package (Statworks, Cricket Software, Philadelphia).
Of 250 patient admissions to the hospital for which stool was cultured, 7 cultures (2.8%) were positive. Of 63 patient admissions having ova and parasite testing, 1 (2%) had a positive result. Clostridia difficile toxin assays were performed on 40 patient admissions to the hospital, and 7 (18%) had a positive result. Only 18 (3.0%) of 598 of all test results reviewed were positive. Costs of negative test results totaled $26 084. More patients (71%) with positive stool cultures than control patients (21%) had a temperature higher than or equal to 38°C (χ2, P<.05); however, relying on this sign missed 29% of the children with bacterial infection. A white blood cell band count of at least 0.10 was 100% sensitive and 79% specific in identifying patients with positive stool culture. There was no statistically significant relationship between stool culture results and age, total white blood cell count or white blood cell segmented neutrophil count, and no relationship between C difficile toxin assay results and any of the above characteristics. Clostrida difficile was the most common pathogen identified (6 of 9) in patients developing gastrointestinal symptoms after admission; however, Salmonella enteritidis and Shigella sonnei were also significant causes (3 of 9).
There is low yield from stool testing of pediatric inpatients; C difficile toxin assay has the highest yield. Clostridia difficile testing is most valuable for children with nosocomial gastrointestinal symptoms, although other bacterial pathogens do cause nosocomial symptoms in children. More selective stool testing could help us be more efficient with our patient care resources.Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1997;151:142-145

Becky: Watching the Sunrise
I was 36 ½ years old when I was told I had breast cancer. A mammogram detected my stage 2 cancer. I had a mastectomy, chemo and reconstruction. I took tamoxifen for 5 years.
When I was 9 years past my diagnosis, I got called into the oncologist's office because one of my tumor marker numbers had spiked. I had a pet scan, ct scan and bone scan and was then informed that my cancer had spread to the lining of my lungs. I was told I was not curable but I was treatable. My daughter was 3½ at the time and I was devastated.
My world turned upside down and from then until now, I have been trying to keep it together. My relationship ended and now my daughter goes between us. I have been on so many chemos that I have lost count, but I am considered stable today. My cancer seems to be slow growing and is so far, being managed ok. I have spent my savings and every cent that I make to make sure that I can afford treatment.
I am living my life but, I need to say, I often feel alone and misunderstood. I belong to a facebook group of women and it is very sad that at times, we all feel like outcasts. I feel that when it comes to breast cancer, attention is often focused on prevention and not on understanding the experiences of those of us living with mbc.
I don't know what will happen to me if I lose my job and or cannot work. I have family but they are not present in my day-to-day living. They, like most families, appear for the crisis. My life is a permanent crisis and my family seems tired of my difficulties.
One thing I have gained is an amazing network of other mbc patients. These people are strong, vibrant and amazing women. We laugh, cry and share each other's ups and downs. Together we hope for the future. I feel like these friends sustain me with their support. Their stories inspire me to continue with this fight.
In January, I will have been living with stage 4 mbc for 8 years and it will be 17 years since I was first diagnosed with early stage bc.
Despite the challenges that I have experienced, I feel so blessed to be alive. I am basically healthy. What health means to me is different than what it means to many others; what I manage on a daily basis is what others may not be able to handle but I do what I need to do to continue on. After all, what is my choice?
I choose life and I take each day as it presents itself. I count my blessings and am grateful to be able to watch the sun rise and set on a daily basis. Cancer has changed my perspective on what truly matters.
Editor's note: Becky wrote this story in October of 2012 and passed away June 9, 2015. A celebration of her life will be held July 28 at 2 PM at St. David's Episcopal Church in Austin, Texas.

MECCA - While the national political spotlight focused sharply on the first presidential debate, politicians on the ballot in Trumbull County also were made available for a public event Wednesday night.
Maplewood High School hosted a Candidates Night. Event organizer and 12th-grade government teacher Ben Gibson said it was a perfect opportunity for both the residents and students.
"I think it is very important for the students, because state and local government usually goes under people's radar, and everyone tends to focus on the presidency, so I think it is good for them to see these people, see what they do up there and the questions that they answer," Gibson said.

Incumbent Trumbull County Commissioner Daniel Polivka speaks during Candidates Night hosted by Maplewood High School on Wednesday night. Polivka is being contested for the position by John M. Hull, far left. Also seated are, from left, Humphrey D. Germaniuk, Sam Lamancuso, Diana J. Marchese and Randy L. Smith.
''They'll find out through this the issues that will affect them. That's a good thing."
Senior Miranda Parke was one of the students who spent hours filling the auditorium with streamers, flags and balloons for the occasion.
"I blew up probably 50 balloons this morning for this," she said. "I'm really glad we are doing it. We don't have a lot out here, so this is really something that can make us shine and I think the people need that."

The event featured many candidates in contested races and the format included a three-minute general address by each politician, followed by a more general question-and-answer session.
Farmdale resident Debbie Hake said she attended in hopes of finding out more about the potential pitfalls of fracking.
"I'd like to hear what they have to say about the pros and cons and, if there are cons, what they are," Hake said. "We all know what the pros are, which is cash in hand.
"They aren't being specific enough," she said. "We have a farm, and a lot of the people around us have farms. We did sign our land over, and they are eventually going to come do this. What if it hurts our water or the water of the my neighbor and the guy down the street? What are they going to do?
"I hope they have a plan in place and I wish we could have heard specifics about it," she said.
Others at the event like Lorita Nodge were satisfied with the topic.
"I enjoyed them talking about the fracking and I felt like it was a pretty informed discussion," the Warren resident said.
Joe O'Grady, a 55-year-old Warren resident, said, "I just want to see the candidates face-to-face and to hear them speak on their platform outside of just seeing a sign in someone's yard," he said. "This gives me the opportunity to see them and hear them speak and I can judge where I can go with my vote later in November.
"It puts young people in the spotlight, which we need more of and I applaud Maplewood High School for doing this."

2014 workshops…
A series of half day summer workshops,
on the last Saturday of each month, covering a range of topics.
Next workshop is Saturday 1st of November
Morning workshop- Orchard planning and planting
For details about the summer workshops or evening classes visit our gardening courses page.
Kinvara Sustainable Living is an organization with the goal to encourage and support practical small scale food production in the community – to enable people to grow food for themselves and improve their quality of life. With food contamination scares, increased environmental awareness and the current economic climate growing some of your own food is an appealing option available to anyone prepared to invest their time. Sustainable food production means looking after the land and raising plants and animals without the use of toxic chemicals. An increased awareness of the seasonal nature of locally grown food follows. Eating local produce is environmentally sound – reducing food miles and if grown in a sustainable manner limiting pollution.
Are you interested in learning how to grow fruit and vegetables for your family?
We can teach you how, through evening classes, and day courses in Co. Galway. Our courses blend time in the classroom with 'hands on' practical experience in the garden. Where possible we cover seasonal topics – you can apply what you have learned when you get home! We attempt to tailor material covered to student's needs and restrict group size. Along with vegetable growing we run courses and demonstrations, on fruit growing and jam making, seed saving and on domestic poultry keeping, where we combine classroom know how with hands on practice. In the future we may also cover back yard pig keeping if there is a demand.
Kinvara Sustainable Living is a not for profit organization.

A recap of Hampshire's five-wicket win over Notts Outlaws in the Natwest T20 Blast quarter-final, to give them a place at finals day for the fifth year in a row.
By Will Jackson
Follow ECB_cricket on Twitter/ Scorecard
5.49pm - We have had confirmation that England players will be available for finals day, subject to fitness.
5.35pm - Winning captain James Vince, who was also named man-of-the-match after his unbeaten 93: "Given the situation, with the match pressure, it's up there with my best innings.
"Chasing 200 was a big effort and it's special to chase a score like that down."
5.30pm - Notts Outlaws captain James Taylor: "It's far and away the worst we've bowled all tournament.
"It was very uncharacteristic, we never executed our plan. Even Fletch, who's been a banker for us missed his yorkers and that summed it all up.
"To have that happen today, on the biggest stage, is devastating for the players, fans and for the club."
5.25pm - The draw has just taken place for the semi-finals and it is as follows:
Surrey v Birmingham Bears
Hampshire v Lancashire Lightning
Hampshire Innings
5.14pm - HAMPSHIRE WIN BY FIVE WICKETS! Matt Coles hits the winning runs and it's all over! The Notts players have dropped to the floor in disbelief. Vince finishes on 93 not out.
5.11pm - WICKET! Smith c Mullaney b Fletcher 9; 193/5 - Smith hits back-to-back boundaries but then chips to midwicket. Just five runs needed.
5.08pm - A great over from Shahzad is ruined by a no-ball, the seventh ball of the over goes for four! Will Smith struggled to rotate the strike but his skipper gets him out of jail.
5.04pm - WICKET! Ervine c Lumb b Fletcher 39; Hampshire 178/4 - Ervine slices the ball away for yet another six but is caught at long-on next ball. Lumb flings the ball away in frustration, the Outlaws look completely shell-shocked.
Ten mins ago @hantscricket were in trouble, now they're in control. Ervine scorches two more to the rope. This is incredible. HAM 157-3 (15)
— NatWest T20 Blast (@NatWestT20Blast) August 3, 2014
4.55pm - Harry Gurney is struggling with his line and Ervine has motored along to 25. 41 needed from the final five overs, surely it's Hampshire's to lose?
4.49pm - CHANCE! Ervine dropped! Sean Ervine hauls a big six over long-on and tries to repeat the dose next ball but he's only skied it to Samit Patel at deep midwicket...Patel takes the catch but throws it to the ground in the fear that he may go over the ropes. Could he have passed it to a teammate?
4.46pm - Three quick sixes from Vince have turned this game on its head once again. They're on 130 for three after 13, which way is this going? 68 needed from 42.
Ajmal Shahzad has turned this game upside down with those two wickets. Trent Bridge is alive now. HAM 101-3 (11) pic.twitter.com/gc35496DYo
— NatWest T20 Blast (@NatWestT20Blast) August 3, 2014
4.36pm - WICKET! Adams c Mullaney b Shahzad 0; Hampshire 97/3 - Adams chips one up first ball! Shahzad on a hat-trick...
No hat-trick but this could be a big over in deciding the game. Shahzad just rolled his fingers over the ball and Adams went hard at it, ballooning it up to cover.
4.34pm - WICKET! Maxwell c Read b Shahzad 11; Hampshire 97/2 - Shahzad comes back into the attack and immediately gets the breakthrough! The Australian tries to pull it but the ball catches the glove on the way through to Read.
4.30pm - FIFTY! Vince (31b 8x4 1x6) A big six over cow corner takes Vince to his half-century. It's been a real captain's innings so far, can he take his team home?
4.29pm - Vince looks to have found a bit of form at the crease and has been joined by Glenn Maxwell. They're taking their time now to just nurdle the ball around, but they are six runs shy of the 87 runs the Outlaws had posted after nine overs.
4.24pm - WICKET! Carberry st Read b Patel 31; Hampshire 70/1 - Samit Patel gets the big wicket of Carberry with his very first ball. The ball skids past the left-hander's outside edge and Chris Read does the rest. Big wicket for the hosts.
4.20pm - Hampshire have reached 59 without loss at the end of the powerplay. Looks like it will be another thrilling game, but there's still a long way to go.
Strong start this from Vince (26*) & Carberry (15*) - Hampshire are 43-0 after 4 overs, needing 155 runs for victory. #T20Blast
— Hampshire Cricket (@hantscricket) August 3, 2014
4.06pm - CHANCE! Vince dropped! Vince crashes Ajmal Shahzad straight to Alex Hales at cover but the England man drops it! He hit it hard but it should have been a comfortable catch...he follows it up with another misfield for four.
4.00pm - Luke Fletcher starts with a tight over, going for just three. Harry Gurney will share the new ball with him, and is met with two crunching drives to the cover boundary from Vince.
3.57pm - The Outlaws have taken to the field after a bit of warming up and the opening pair of Michael Carberry and James Vince follow them to the crease. It's a tough ask, but with Carberry and Glenn Maxwell in the side, anything is possible.
TARGET! What a belter of a game we've got live on @SkyCricket. That last over carnage from Patel propels @TrentBridge to 197-2 (20).

Notts Outlaws Innings
3.45pm - END OF INNINGS! Notts Outlaws 197/2; Wessels 62, Patel 53 - Notts almost get to 200 at the end of their innings and have set a commanding total for the visitors. Can the Outlaws finally end their quarter-final hoodoo at Trent Bridge?
3.42pm - FIFTY! Patel (23b 4x4 3x6) Patel has faced just one dot ball a huge six down the ground takes him to a very impressive half-century.
3.38pm - Fourteen off the penultimate over as Patel gets hold of Wood. How much can Abbott restrict them to here?
3.35pm - Samit Patel launches Abbott into the stands for another six and the pair have gone past their fifty partnership. 171 for two with two overs to go.
3.28pm - Just four overs to go in the first innings at Trent Bridge. There is some real firepower still in the dugout for the Outlaws, 149 for two.
Notts Outlaws 141-2 from 15 overs, Patel 8*, Wessels 51* #CricketHasLanded
— Nottinghamshire CCC (@TrentBridge) August 3, 2014
3.22pm - FIFTY! Wessels (27b 6x4 1x6) Wessels goes to fifty with slice over cover for four and is dropped next ball! A tough return chance to Coles but he got two hands to it...
WICKET! Hales is not a happy man, as he flies out to Adams in the deep. Notts on 118-2 after 13 overs: #T20Blast pic.twitter.com/lxTGOgaCR2
— Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) August 3, 2014
3.16pm - WICKET! Hales c Adams b Coles 51; 118/2 - Coles brings out his excellent slower ball and Hales tries to go downtown...but he's caught! Jimmy Adams makes no mistake at long-off and removes the dangerman just as he was threatening to take the game away from James Vince and his men.
3.15pm - ANOTHER CHANCE! Wessels gets a top edge and the ball spirals to fine leg when a sprawling Abbott can't quite get a hand on the ball, and to add insult to injury for Coles the ball dribbles away for four.
3.13pm - CHANCE! Hales dropped! Wood returns to the attack and a cutter catches the edge of Hales' bat, but it's quite a thick one and there's not much Adam Wheater can do with that as it bounces striaght out of the gloves. Notts are 111 for one after 12 overs.
3.08pm - FIFTY! Hales (39b 4 x4 2x6) A big slog-sweep from Hales and a push down the ground moves the dangerous England opener to yet another half-century in the format, following on nicely from his destruction of Yorkshire Vikings last week.
3.07pm - Smith is doing a good job for Hampshire so far. While the other bowlers are going the distance, he's been relatively miserly, going at just five an over so far. We're halfway with the Outlaws 93 for one.
POWER! Width from Briggs and Hales gives it the treatment for six. That was effortless from the big-hitting @TrentBridge opener. NOT 87-1
— NatWest T20 Blast (@NatWestT20Blast) August 3, 2014
2.57pm - Riki Wessels is off to a rollicking start, with an inside edge for four followed by a swept six off Kyle Abbott. It's gone miles. Hampshire are choosing to rotate the bowlers to stop the Outlaws from settling.
At the end of the powerplay Notts Outlaws 64-1 Hales 26 Wessels 13 #CricketHasLanded
— Nottinghamshire CCC (@TrentBridge) August 3, 2014
2.45pm - WICKET! Lumb c Ervine b Coles 22; Notts 35/1 Lumb hits back-to-back boundaries off the new bowler, Matt Coles, but the all-rounder gets his own back as the Outlaws opener spoons one in the air and picks the man out on the deep midwicket boundary.
2.37pm - Lumb is immediately into his groove and finding the middle of the bat. He hits Chris Wood for a straight six before chipping one over the infield and seeing the ball race away for another boundary. Twelve off the over for the Outlaws.
2.30pm - Alex Hales and Michael Lumb are the batsmen walking out to the middle as the last quarter-final gets underway.
The first over is safely negotiated by the two England men as Will Smith opens the bowling for the visitors.
Pre-Play News
2.10pm - So the dangerous Glenn Maxwell is fit to play after missing the last 50 over game through an abdominal injury, and here's an early stat for you - Notts have won every game where they have batted first in this year's T20 Blast.
We spoke to Notts captain Taylor earlier in the week, read what he had to say about his side gaining the unwanted reputation of falling at the final hurdle, by clicking here.
Hampshire: Vince (c), Carberry, Maxwell, Adams, Smith, Ervine, Wheater+, Coles, Abbott, Wood, Briggs. #T20Blast

The Paramount Theatre Music Library is one of the largest collections of sheet music in the country with over 250,000 catalogue entries
dating from the 1870s to the 1950s.
The Paramount Theatre Music Library consists of three categories of printed music:
Symphonic, Chorus, and Popular music.
The Symphonic and Chorus libraries were obtained by the City of Oakland, California from the original Oakland Symphony
in 1985 and are material typical of the repertoire of such symphony orchestras.
The Popular Music Library, the largest and most well-known of the three, was originally collected by various radio stations,
by band and orchestra leaders, and by other professional musicians and dedicated amateurs. The Popular Music Library
comprises many genres of printed sheet music, including silent film, movie soundtrack, opera and operetta-derived, salon, parlor,
semi-classical, circus, ice show, vaudeville, ballet, Dixieland, Big Band, various immigrant and social classes, humor, ballads, and all the dance forms popular in their respective eras.
An ongoing effort to catalogue the collections is directed by the Paramount Theatre Librarians.
Copies of sheet music already catalogued are available for a nominal fee. Volunteers are always welcome.

by David Sedaris
Pity the poor Sedaris family. The things their famous relative writes about them—in addition to what he says as a regular contributor to National Public Radio—must have the clan in a state of permanent cringe. That is, if the situations in the latest collection of blisteringly funny pieces (28 in all) by the 43-year-old rapscallion were not so transparently exaggerated. A sun-worshipping sister is lampooned for being "tanorexic," and he lists his mom's hobbies as smoking, napping and reading the works of kitsch-maestro Sidney Sheldon. Then there is Sedaris père, a former IBM engineer, who, says the son, hoards food so obsessively that his closet still contains expired six-packs of Sego, the chalky chocolate diet drink of the 1960s. And what are we to make of the claim that in the author's childhood North Carolina household there was an unending turnover of pets, all afflicted with a failure to thrive? As he puts it, "Another day, another collar." (Little, Brown, $22.95)

Weekly Recap
Posted at 2:23 PM on April 18, 2008 by Michael Marchio (1 Comments)
Another very productive week for your lawmakers. With the 17 bills signed by T-Paw, the points are really starting to come in. Lets take a look around the MFL.
Gold League -
Minnetonka Redress is holding strong at #1, addiing some 400 points this week to bring their total to 2,967. bemidji beavers, Highland Politics, Caucus-O-Raucous! and the Know Spin Zone, in that order, holding their positions, but the Sausage Makers had a great week, jumping from 1,185 to 2,011. Its like they kidnapped Ann Rest from the Minnetonka Redress or something. Nice job, Sausage Makers.
Maroon League -
The But For Test and All Else Equals are still one and two, but The Ex-Pats are the big story here this week, getting three bills signed by the governor and earning nearly 500 points. Blue BMW and the Lawsages topped Sweaters not Suitcoats and the Second Readings, which despite their awesome name, fell to #7.
Green League -
id10t held their top spot, leading Mary Jane Sieben's Healthy Gophers by some 700 points, but the other Healthy Gophers team, led by Elizabeth Tobias, is closing in, earning a quick 400 points this week and bringing them within 200 points of second place. Its a test for Health Gopher superiority, we'll see who wins. Victory 08 switched spots with The Rump Group, but mostly things stayed the same here.
Red League -
Literally every team in this league held its place, but the teams with the best performance were Brod Appeal, winning 400 points on 4 bills getting signed, Falcons of Justice and The Bill Pushers each with 500. Holding steady isn't exciting, but it means teams are all keeping up with each other. Not a bad week.
Blue League -
Blue Thunder held the #1 spot, but this league is really anyones for the taking. The Party Party and House Call both topped the Wobblers, but all of the teams in the top four are separated by only 200 points total. A strong showing by any of them next week could give them the top spot. Purple Quadrigas also did well, moving past the political ninjas. Next week, with T-Paw getting more bills to sign, should create some distance, maybe.
Purple League -
Legislicious broke 3,000 points this week. They've got a pretty solid team over there, with two top ten lawmakers Sens. Linda Higgins and Mee Moua, and Linda Berglin whose health care bill, if it gets signed, will probably put her in the top ten too. Obamazons had a much better week in MFL than their namesake did in that debate, earning 600 points. The Fighting Mongooses also hopped up a spot over junkymonkey.
Orange League -
Teams at the top scored really well this week, with Outstaters and The Rudy G.'s both earning about 600 points. Curlybro's Congress only (only, ha!) had 300, but still did well enough to hold their second spot. The Left Flank topped the Veto Gals, but things mostly held steady here too.
Yellow League -
Attack of the DFL had four bills signed by the guv, building a commanding 800 point lead over their nearest rival, Caucusing Fool, who themselves had a pretty good week, moving up from #3 to #2. VolatileOrganicCompounds moved down to three, but they're still close enough to win this thing if they have a good week or two. GameTime and Solid Mercury both moved up a couple spots too.
Brown League -
Ultraliberal Elite had 6 bills signed, bringing them up to 3,708, for the best score in the Brown League and second only to the Capitol Punishers in the entire MFL. Well done, but the Indefatigable bill carriers are nothing to scoff at either, earning about 500 themselves. The Commish saw some trash talking between the Ultraliberal Elite and the Indefatigable Bill Carriers in the comments, and he's all for it. No New Taxes, at #5, had a good week too, getting three bills signed by T-Paw
Black League -
Capitol Punishers hold the MFL record again this week, with 3,848 points. The next closest team, Farmers 4 No Lobby, are at 2,061. After that it gets closer, but the Punishers are running away with this one.
Grey League -
If the MFL had a pro-bowl, the BSU Poliscientists would be on it too. They're at 3,434 points and the top of the Grey League, and the Strange Bedfellows are holding strong at #2 with 2,718. Polisci 2nd Semester and the CyberHouse Players also did will, moving into the #3 and #4 spots, overtaking the Bush League Bombers.
White League -
Again, this league's rankings stayed the same, with each team tacking about 100 or so points to their total. I took a look, and it doesn't seem like anyone has drafted Sen. Linda Higgins? C'mon White League managers, somebody pick her up.
Good show, MFL managers. Next week, we'll be having a floor-a-palooza on an issue yet to be determined by the Commish. I'll let you know when I find a good one.
Comments (1)
To continue the trash talking...
Make that around 850 points.
And to continue the Bruce Campbell trash talking lines, Carriers..
"Gimme some sugar, baby."
The Ultraliberal Elite

Salford Blue Jays chop down Foresters
Salford Blue Jays secured their third win of the GMACL season after thrashing Foresters at St Paul's on Sunday to leapfrog them and go fifth in the third division.
Victory was all the more sweeter as it saw SBJ avenge their Challenge Cup bowl-out loss earlier in the season.
Winning the toss, Foresters surprisingly chose to bat on a green top pitch. They made a solid start reaching 30 before captain, Shawn Steele, chipped Josh Henry to gully where Caleb Blake leapt forward to take an excellent tumbling low catch.
Grant Pakter then removed the other opener, the dangerous Munaser Natha, for 11 as Ross Bloomberg took the first of his three catches at cover. Pakter's excellent spell of fast bowling was rewarded with a second wicket as he posted figures of 2-16 off his six overs.
The introduction of Jonny Wineberg produced two more quick wickets to leave Foresters struggling at 39-5. They tried to fight back but Wineberg (3-14 off 5) and Caleb Blake (6-2 off 3) saw Foresters innings quickly wrapped up in just 18 overs for a total of 62.
Salford's reply started brightly before Josh Dansky was caught down the leg-side off the finest edge, followed shortly after by Henry being run out to leave them at 21-2.
A 32-run partnership between Adnan Azhar and Pakter was ended when Adnan was bowled for 13. Pakter (24 not out) then saw Salford home with no further casualties as they reached 63-3 in just 14 overs.

VERNON — Vernon Mayor Sally Rinker, who sent more than 400 e-mails about township business to a non-elected political ally, defended the practice today saying she was simply trying to get more information about the issues.
According to a newspaper report published Wednesday, Rinker sent hundreds of e-mails to Jessi Paladini, a member of the township Land Use Board, from her township address concerning council business, sometimes within minutes of a note being sent to the council.
Some of the e-mails included derogatory language against council members and township officials, the report states.
"I'm very proud of my friendship with Jessi Paladini. She's very knowledgeable about municipal government, about land use law. She's a valuable asset to the community and she's a wealth of knowledge," said Rinker, noting that nearly all of the e-mails were also copied to council members.
"Does anyone tell me what to do or how to vote? Absolutely not," she said.
Rinker was first elected to the council in November 2009 as an independent after losing the Republican primary election in June. She also supported a grassroots effort with Paladini to change the township's form of government, a move opposed by the Sussex County Republican Party.
"It's all political," she said of the release of the e-mails. "If there's anything I'm guilty of, it's working for the town to be best of my ability."

The Black Imagination, Science Fiction and Futurism

Announcement ID:
The Black Imagination, Science Fiction and Futurism We announce a call for papers for a book in development that explores the Black imagination, science fiction and futurism in literature, film and the visual arts. Works included will explore speculative, fantasy as well as hybrid genres – of black writers, film-makers and visual artists -- their visions of the future, alternative pasts, critiques of the present as well as other possibilities.
While the genre of science fiction has a long history of social commentary, it has not given much attention to issues of race and ethnicity let alone their intersections with sex and gender in the context of imagined futures. Historically, the focus has been on social and political commentary, as well as fantasy, growing out of Western experiences -- geo-politics, and conflicts between and among nation-states as well as those between governments and their citizens, and responses to social, cultural and technological changes. It was not until the mid-20th century that science fiction by Black writers emerged. At times, many of these works were not explicitly defined as science fiction; yet, the conventions of the genre, often embedded in a multiplicity of narrative forms, using a variety of tropes, indicate clearly that social commentary – initially regarding the state of the race — as well as speculation about the future have been at the heart of works produced by Black writers since the early 20th century. Contemporary works by writers and film-makers in the Black and African Diaspora have extended the boundaries of discourse, explicitly embracing the genre, envisioning different times, places, and social arrangements – addressing not only issues of race, ethnicity, gender and color, the presence of Black individuals or beings coded as black, and also examining issues related to politics and technology. Science and speculative fiction by Black writers is a genre that is growing, expanding the boundaries, presenting perspectives and posing questions not addressed in canonical works. These issues we seek to explore in our book.
We are seeking papers that critically examine works of contemporary voices of the Black and African Diaspora that engage us in thinking about imagined futures related to race, gender, identity, power, space, time, and technology. The following topics are of particular interest: the recent works of Octavia Butler, the work of Samuel Delaney and Steve Barnes; as well as topics related to Afro-Futurism and speculative fiction by Black writers, film-makers and visual artists.
• Abstracts of approximately 400-500 words should be submitted via e-mail by August 30th, 2009. They should be sent in a Word document as an attachment, accompanied by the following information: full name of the author, university affiliation, and title of the abstract.
•Notification regarding acceptance will be sent to authors by September 30, 2009.
• Final papers will be due by May 30th, 2010.

Volunteers from Vivint, a home security and automation firm based in Provo, Utah, spread pine straw at Doty Park on Friday. Eric Davis, assistant manager of the town's parks and recreation department, said the town had put off the task because it needed employees for other work and was happy to have the extra hands.

TV Ratings: 'NCIS: Los Angeles,' 'The Voice' lead Tuesday split
'New Girl' up, 'Body of Proof' down on dull ratings night
"NCIS: Los Angeles" was up week-to-week and helped CBS win Tuesday night overall, while "The Voice" let NBC easily win among young viewers, despite small declines.
Mostly, it was an uneventful Tuesday night, with very small growth for the "Splash" finale, "Dancing with the Stars" and "New Girl," plus very small declines for "NCIS," "Golden Boy" and "Body of Proof."
Among adults 18-49, NBC averaged a 3.0 rating for Tuesday night, beating CBS' 2.2 rating in the key demographic. FOX was third with a 1.8 key demo rating, followed by ABC's 1.3 key demo rating and the 0.4 key demo rating for The CW.
Overall, though, CBS averaged an estimated 12.38 million viewers and a 7.9 rating/13 share for Tuesday, beating the 5.9/9 and 9.44 million viewers. ABC was third with a 5.1/8 and 7.67 million viewers, well ahead of the 4.01 million viewers and 2.5/4 for FOX. The CW averaged a 0.7/1 and 948,000 viewers.
[Univision averaged 3.84 million viewers and a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49 for Tuesday night.]
8 p.m. - "NCIS" led the 8 p.m. hour with 16.99 million viewers and finished second with a 2.9 rating among adults 18-49. NBC's "The Voice" averaged 11.1 million viewers and a 3.5 key demo rating, in line with the comparable hour last week. FOX's "Hell's Kitchen" averaged 4.67 million viewers and a 1.9 key demo rating, topping the 4.355 million viewers and 1.0 key demo rating for ABC's "Splash" finale. The CW's "Hart of Dixie" season finale was steady with recent performances, drawing 1.24 million viewers and a 0.5 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - "NCIS: Los Angles" drew 13.02 million viewers to win the 9 p.m. hour for CBS, finishing second with a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49. "The Voice" was off from the comparable hour last week with 11.2 million viewers and a 3.7 key demo rating, still ahead of the 10.505 million viewers and 1.7 key demo rating for ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" results. FOX followed with "New Girl" (3.965 million viewers and a 2.1 key demo) and "The Mindy Project" (2.71 million and a 1.3 key demo). the CW's "America's Next Top Model" encore averaged 654,000 viewers and a 0.2 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - "Body of Proof" led the 10 p.m. hour overall with 8.14 million viewers and finished second with a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49. CBS' "Golden Boy" drew 7.125 million viewers for second and a 1.2 key demo rating. NBC's "Grimm" averaged 6.01 million viewers and an hour-winning 1.9 key demo rating, basically flat in its second Tuesday airing.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

LOCKPORT - The Common Council voted Wednesday to begin accepting credit card payments for certain city bills, but it was uncertain when the service will start and what billing will be the first to permit a plastic option.
The Council awarded the contract to M&T Bank, which will charge a fee to those who pay by credit card, through the city's website or at City Hall.
The fee will be $3 for any bill less than $100; $6 for bills between $100 and $200; $9 for bills between $200 and $300; and 3 percent of the total for bills over $300.
City Clerk Richelle J. Pasceri said officials had hoped to begin offering credit card billing with the October refuse user fees. However, the system may not be ready in time, so another possibility is to begin the service with water and sewer bills. Those are charged quarterly, but the bills are staggered so a batch goes out at the beginning of every month, Pasceri said.
She said the city definitely didn't want to kick off the credit card program with the city property tax bills in January without having tried it on smaller bills first.
"You don't want to incur those convenience fees to that great an extent right away," Pasceri said.
In other action, the Council:
. Voted to spend $24,445 as its share of a study by Conestoga-Rovers & Associates on the condition of the city's 13-mile raw water supply line from the Niagara River at North Tonawanda. The city is considering getting out of the water treatment business and instead buying water from North Tonawanda, but first the line has to be checked to see if it's suitable for treated water.
. Held a closed-door session with labor negotiations consultant Samuel F. Iraci Jr., leading up to talks on new contracts with the five city unions, whose pacts expire Dec. 31.
Mayor Michael W. Tucker said the Civil Service Employees Association and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees have sent letters expressing willingness to start bargaining. Tucker said talks may start in the next two weeks.
. Agreed to buy two new cargo vans for the Water Department from Van Bortel Ford, Rochester, for $41,730.
. Renewed a contract to provide a school resource officer for Lockport High School, with the school district paying the city $50,000 toward Patrolman Scott Snaith's salary and benefits.

Parts of California have been rattled by another 4.2 earthquake that struck 100 miles east of San Diego Monday night.
The tremor follows a series of earthquakes that struck the southeastern coast of the state on Sunday.
The quakes, ranging in magnitude from 3.5 to 5.5, pushed 20 mobile homes from their foundations and triggered sporadic power outages. No major damage or injuries were reported.
Seismologists said these types of cluster quakes are common in the area. Still, the continuing aftershocks in cities like Brawley put residents on edge.
"It's not uncommon for us to have earthquakes out here, but at this frequency and at this magnitude it's fairly unusual," George Nava, the mayor of Brawley, said.
"And the fact that the aftershocks keep coming are a little alarming," he said.
Robert Graves, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, predicted such seismic activity could possibly continue for several hours or even days.

The clinical education of medical students has been moving away from the bedside. We have drifted from the exciting and successful Oslerian concepts of bedside teaching, with the visible functioning of the scholarly physician, to an educational process that often inadequately teaches biomedical science and which frequently fails in teaching clinical skills and humane patient-oriented performance. We must be grateful to Eichna,1,2 who has assessed important aspects of medical education with wisdom and offers some imaginative and sensible solutions. Moser3,4 and others have helped focus some of the problems, and recently Landau,5 from an institution with a long tradition of having only full-time salaried physicians, expressed his dismay at our failure in teaching clinical medicine.
It is impossible to define easily the complex problems in medical education, but we need to acknowledge our frequent failure to educate students to function as capable clinicians. This failure must be

America's Hypothetical New Cable Company Gets a CEO
Long before it's clear that federal regulators will let Comcast buy Time Warner Cable, the cable giants are moving forward with their post-merger plans.
Last month, Comcast and Charter Communications agreed to a swap and sale of millions of cable subscribers, alongside the formation a new cable company that would have about 2.5 million customers cleaved from Comcast's system. The companies dubbed it "SpinCo," owing to the spinoff nature of the transaction, which involves mostly the current Comcast customers in Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Minnesota.
SpinCo may not exist yet, but on Thursday the hypothetical company got its own chief executive officer: Michael S. Willner, a cable veteran and the co-founder of Insight Communications, which was acquired by Time Warner Cable in 2011 for $3 billion. Insight had about 750,000 customers in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio and was owned by private equity firms at the time. Willner served as Insight's CEO for 27 years.
"A skilled operator with an impressive track record of success, Michael has been a pillar of leadership and an active ambassador for the industry," Charter's president and CEO, Tom Rutledge, said in a news release. Willner is also a past chairman of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, the industry's trade group. Since selling Insight, Willner has served as chief executive of Penthera Partners, a software company that makes products to deliver large media files to mobile devices.
Rutledge will serve as chairman of the new company's board, which will have nine members selected by Comcast and Charter. Charter will also receive service fees from the new company for helping to oversee its management and infrastructure needs.
SpinCo is now in the unusual position of having a top executive without yet having a real name.

Category Scientist
is for pages describing important scientists and their contributions. Click on the heading for a list of scientists. To be included in this category, at least one of the following should be true (the more the better):
Have an advanced degree in a particular scientific or engineering discipline.
Be an active or formerly-active researcher in a particular scientific or engineering discipline (pure academic research certainly qualifies, as does industrial research of an exploratory nature. Coding up
s in Java is not considered "research").
Be a noted authority in a particular field (this doesn't necessarily mean well-known to the general public; but one's work should be reasonably well-known by other scientists in the field).
Note that this category is not reserved for the "big names" like Turing or Knuth or Newton... though they all qualify. Nor is anyone disqualified by his/her work being obsoleted by subsequent work in the field - Newton's laws of motion have all been replaced by more modern theories (though they remain excellent approximations for velocities << the

Aerogenerator X
London, UK
Project Description
In July 2010 UK company Wind Power Limited unveiled its design for a new generation of offshore wind turbines, visualised by Grimshaw. The Aerogenerator has the potential to revolutionise our approach to renewable technology and ultimately help deliver the UK's offshore wind strategy in a reliable and cost effective manner.
The Aerogenerator adopts vertical axis technology and is half the height of an equivalent horizontal-axis turbine. It does not have the same weight constraints as a normal wind turbine and its blades do not undergo weight-induced fatigue. Concentrating its weight at the base of the structure not only gives a structural advantage but also means that it can withstand the offshore winds, is easier to service and is suitable for location far offshore in deep water. Scaleable between 100kW and 10MW of power, the new design enhances the commercial viability and operability of wind power onshore and offshore.

A 26-year-old New Orleans man tried to ram his car into a New Orleans police officer Sunday night in Central City, prompting the officer's partner to shoot at the driver, police said Monday.
The gunshot missed and police are searching for Brandon Polk, who is wanted on charges of attempted murder of a police officer and possession of a stolen auto.
The incident occurred shortly before 9 p.m. in the 2000 block of South Claiborne Avenue, when two officers assigned to the Special Operations Division stopped a vehicle with a broken license plate, said officer Shereese Harper, an NOPD spokeswoman.
One officer approached Polk, who handed over his license. Then, Polk put the car in reverse, trying to hit the officer, Harper said. The officer's partner fired once into the vehicle but did not strike Polk, according to Harper.
Police said Polk then ran from the vehicle. Officers were unable to apprehend him.
No one was injured in the incident.
Polk, who has a lengthy history of arrests, was at large Monday evening.
The NOPD's Public Integrity Bureau will investigate the officer's discharge of a weapon. Harper said the officer's name would not be immediately released.

Greeks and Romans on the Latin American Stage
International conference: 24-26 June 2014
- Click here for Classics Confidential Interview with Conference Organisers Dr Rosa Andújar and Dr Konstantinos P. Nikoloutsos
Over the past few decades scholars have examined the reception of classical drama across various continents and in a variety of contexts. Most of the research, however, has focused on Europe, Africa, and North America. Given its vast geographical size and cultural diversity, Latin America remains relatively unexplored, though it has garnered some attention in recent years.
international conference seeks to explore the broad afterlife of Greek and Roman
tragedy and comedy in Latin American theatre in the modern period. Latin American dramatists have
repeatedly engaged with their classical forebears in order to
interrogate and debate new political, social and religious paradigms. Especially in
the past few decades, the region has seen a number of pioneering theatrical
adaptations of classical drama that directly address the turbulence of the
twentieth century and the dilemmas of postcolonial reality. Latin American 'Antígonas', for example,
make use of their Athenian prototype as a means to explore issues that are pertinent to
the region's painful history of social and political conflicts.
Papers will approach
the topic from a variety of theoretical and interdisciplinary
perspectives. Case studies to be examined include plays from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Martinique, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. We will discuss the ways in which
ancient drama has been used to articulate a range of issues (pertaining to gender, politics, race and violence)
in modern societies. We will also consider rewritings that have initiated a chain of modern
receptions through which ancient themes and ideas have migrated across
national or regional borders.
bringing together scholars from Europe, North and South America, the conference
the first of its kind to be organized at an international level — seeks to
address the broad appeal and continuing relevance of classical drama in a
diverse and multicultural region such as Latin America. By focusing on texts that are relatively
unknown in the Anglophone world, the conference aims to fill an important gap
in the scholarship on the afterlife of classical drama. We also hope to establish lasting links
between scholars working in the northern and southern hemispheres.
Registration is now CLOSED.
