attempts are numerous at trying to the nature of the president coming rarssage but it is nonsense for any one outside of the cabinet and a few close personal friends of mr cle veland — and they won't talk about it to pretend to know tire mere fact that he will send another message to congress at the opening of the regu lai sessiou even should the extra ses sion remain in session until then and the general belief id tint it will makes it presumable fiat his message 1 to the extra session wiil be confined to ; what it wilts called to legislate upon — finance and if this presumption be correct it

in remarked a friend of the man who has proven his right by his ability on many occasions 1 to be classed a.s a democratic leader l uever announces through the news papers his future political intentions and that fact is so well known that he ' very seldom takes the trouble to eon tradict the newspaper stories which appear from time to time purporting i to give in detail what he intends to do in e.ise this or that happens in the senate it is safe to say however that his future actions like those of the p.ist will alw.ays be such as will meet the approval of a in jority of good democrats and to ay also that anv advance announcements of them which may appear may always be set down as merely guesses one of the most encouraging signs to those who expect financial relief from the legislation of the exlrasfs ! sion is the fact hut while most of the democratic senators and itepresen'a tiveshave ideas of their own as to the legislation needed a majority of them : express themselves as willing to hear i the arguments of those who advocate | other ideas and to be open to convic tion if the other fellow's argument be the best if this feeling be shared by a majority of the democrats in both ! house and senate the difficulty of reaching some satisfactory basis of compromise will be greatly lessened i lint it is going to take time to bring about that tesult and wise people will j not expect immediate concessional ac ' tion on this important subject good legislation is belter than hurried legis lation and 1 have yet to find the first democrat who does not firmly believe that good legislation will be one of the certainties of the fifty-third congress gen duncan s walker chairman of the committee on invitations af the ceiitenui.il celebration of the laying of

a physician could not stop pretty soon after the morning train on 1 lie consolidated road pulled out of new london station the other day westward bound the conductor bolted through the drawing room car door and naked is there a physician in this chi all tie passengers g.z^l at ii tall man who laid down his paper poke to ! the conductor and wentout witli him i a minute later twenty minutes after wlien tile conductor came in view every passenger asked him the same question and in reply he said oh its a man in the smoker lie's got nose j bleed nasal hemorrhage the doctor wills it his no.se has been bleeding i ever since we left east greenwich and it hasn't stopped yet wk»t is the doctor doing for it inquired a man he has just put in a tampon and we've all pooled in our handkerchiefs for the poor fellow he's getting aw fully while and weak in one of the rear chairs of the car sat a young woman who had flushed and paled itt rapid intervals itnthe con ductor talked and when she finally beckoned to him he quickly moved to her side 1 think 1 know something to stop the nose-bleed i never knew it to fail she timidly asserted but maybe i ought not to suggest it if the gentle man i in the doctor's care the doctor is about getting dis couraged and the packing in the man's nose don't seem to stanch the qow at all if you know anything i guess evtrybody would thank you to tell it a few moments later the conductor took the young woman into the smok er at thr physician request the medical man said pardon me but if you hare any knowledge of a remedy to lop nasal hemorrhage both thi patient and i would be intensely grate ful to yon have you a piece of twine — ordi nary wrapping twine said the girl off from a bundle quickly came a piecw the girl took it asked the loan of a knife and cutting a piece of the twine about 5 inches in length tied it very tightly around lh little finger of the left hand of the man with the nose bleed then she asked the conductor to escort htr back to her car it was not five minutes later when the doctor came through the car ioor and went straight for the place where j the young woman sat she was busi ! ly engaged in reading a magazine but looked up as bespoke to her your remedy has been perfectly successful he said and asked permis sion to take a vacant chair near her it is strange he continued how many times in a physician's life he j finds all his acquired scienca u>eless before the common sense of some non professional person why i might hare known it i had only stopped to think that your remedy couldn't fail just a 1 ; soon as you began tying that string around the little finger i knew it would slop the bleeding aud it could not have done otherwise of course you know the scientific reason for it the fact of the arteries passing through the little finger aud all about that no she said i only know my grand-mother told mother of it and she told me i am a teacher and quite often in the first warm days of spring the

Candidates get 'kiss of death'
Time for our annual "kiss of death," our endorsements of candidates in the coming election.
The endorsements represent the majority of the members of the Mountain Home News editorial board.
In local races, the board unanimously endorsed Republican Wes Wootan for election over independent Doug King for the Second District commissioner's seat. The board felt Wootan's common-sense approach to decision-making would be a welcome addition to the county commissioners.
In the Third District race for county commissioner, the board also strongly endorsed the re-election of Democrat Connie Cruser for a third term to the board over Republican challenger Al Hofer. Cruser's knowledge and expertise in some of the crucial aspects of the job, especially those relating to senior citizen and health issues, had earned her re-election.
Although unopposed on the ballot, the board was quite pleased with the remaining slate of county office seekers -- Barbara Steele for county clerk, Rose Plympton for county treasurer, Ron Fisher for county assessor and Jerry Rost for county coroner. Plympton is the only Democrat and she and Rost are the only incumbents.
For the District 22 state senate race, Republican Tim Corder was unanimously endorsed by the board over "Tea Party Democrat" Henry Hibbert. Corder is regarded as one of the smartest members of the Idaho legislature and should begin moving into key leadership positions with his re-election.
Republican incumbent state representatives Rich Wills and Pete Nielsen have no opposition on the ballot.
At the state level, Gov. Butch Otter was endorsed by a majority of the board for re-election as governor. Otter has been forced to make a number of unpopular decisions as he faced the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression, but the board believes he tends to represent the general thinking of Idaho's citizens. The board recognized that Kieth Allred has probably run the best campaign for a Democrat since the days of Cecil Andrus, but he would have no hope of governing effectively with a Republican-dominated legislature and the last thing we need in government these days is more gridlock.
The board unanimously endorsed all the incumbent Republicans in the remaining state races, except one. Lt. Gov. Brad Little, Secretary of State Ben Ysursa, State Comptroller Donna Jones, State Treasurer Ron Crane and Attorney General Lawrence Wasden have done nothing to cause voters to seek any alternative. They have done good, competent jobs and deserve re-election.
The one exception was for Superintendent of Education, where the board unanimously endorsed Democratic challenger Stan Olson over Republican incumbent Tom Luna.
Long before he was elected, Luna was a critic of public education, stressing home schooling and charter schools, instead. He had no real background in education and it has shown.
As superintendent Luna simply has not stood up and fought adequately for public education, and it was under his watch that education funding was essentially flat for several years and then took the only true cut in funding in the state's history last year, leading to the disasters of slashed programs and crowded classrooms being faced all across the state. He has little respect among educators.
On the other hand, Olson spent his career in the education system, retiring as superintendent of the Boise School District. He fully understands the nuts and bolts of the education system and has a track record of getting a good return on dollars spent. He pays more than mere political lip service to educating our young people in the public school systems. He believes in it. He would serve the people of Idaho well.
For federal offices, we unanimously endorse the re-election of incumbent Republicans Sen. Mike Crapo and Second District Congressman Mike Simpson. Both men are outstanding representatives for the state of Idaho and, upon re-election, would finally be moving into the upper reaches of leadership positions in the U.S. Senate and House, where their reasonable, common-sense approach to problems would go a long ways toward helping solve the gridlock in Congress.
Finally, there are four constitutional amendments on the ballot. A majority of the board have endorsed a "yes" vote on all of them.
Three of the amendments are an attempt to clarify and correct some language in the constitution that arose out of a court case involving the city of Boise's airport expansion project. They would allow infrastructure improvements by local governments to not require a vote of the citizens if the improvements can be paid for out of user fees from the projects. In the case of hospitals, for example, this is a long-standing procedure (fees for an MRI machine, for example, would pay for the machine) that was halted by the court case. No property tax dollars could be used for any of the projects. They give some flexibility to local governments without raising property taxes.
The fourth amendment goes back to the creation of the University of Idaho as a land grant college. Currently, the U of I is the only university that cannot charge tuition. Instead, they rely on fees, but fees can only be used for limited purposes directly related to the classes being taken by a student. Tuition provides the university more flexibility to allocate its limited dollars.
Finally, on a separate ballot from the general election ballot (you'll have to go to a separate table at each polling site), there is the election for two members of the Western Elmore County Recreation District.
Incumbents Marsha Sellers and Jana Borgholthaus, who were appointed to their present positions, are being challenged by Art Nelson and Judy Mayne. This race resulted in the greatest amount of disagreement and discussion within the editorial board, but in the end, a majority of the board believes the voters should cast their ballots for the challengers, Nelson and Mayne.
The board's majority believes that the rec district is in serious need of new blood and, more importantly, new direction, which they believe the challengers would provide.
In the end, whether you agree or disagree, it is vital that your own voice be heard and counted in the ballot box on Nov. 2. While the majority of races may be foreordained, there are several where clear choices are being offered, and it is crucial that you do your duty as a citizen and participate in the election process.

Such is the case of two girls named Florence, both looking remarkably alike with their dark hair tied back with a huge bow. And not so far apart in age, it turns out, meaning they were dressed in clothing from the same era.
At left is a grainy 9-year-old Florence Anna Sowerby, Mother's double cousin, from a group photo with her parents and a dozen of her mother's relatives (all named on the back) in late summer 1909 in front of a large white house in Rochester, NY.
And here's the photo from Mystery Cousins, in which I identified the girl on the right in the back row as Florence Sowerby. According to the caption, all the girls were cousins.
I began to suspect this was not "Florence of Rochester" after determining she had no cousins by any of the names on the photo.
Sure 'nuff, it's not.
It's Florence MORRIS, born in 1894, daughter of William H. "Henry" Morris, a brother of Samuel Grant Morris.
Below is a photo postcard with 28 people from Sam and wife Josie's "Thanksgiving dinner party" (her words) in front of the same house in California behind her sons Owen and Howard and their bicycles in another photo. Naturally, the camera had to be far away here, making it impossible to tell who was who without magnification.
After popping it into my trusty flatbed scanner and zooming in, here's part of what I saw (without the names, of course, which I added later):
Clara was always called Etta (or Ettie). Her mother was Jennie May Morris, sister of Sam.
Etta's father was Jennie's first husband, Josie's brother Albert Isaac "Bert" Cupp. After Bert abandoned Jennie when Etta was still a tot, Jennie divorced him and later married Ed Brown, and Etta unofficially became "Etta Brown".
(back) Clara "Ettie" CUPP, Florence MORRIS
(middle) Orel N., Ethel Gladys MORRIS
(front) Carrie Ellen KERBY
Florence Morris was no relation to my mother, but three of the others were:
Etta, Albert Cupp's daughter, was Mother's first cousin.
Ethel, Josie (Cupp) Morris's daughter, was also Mother's first cousin. (Sadly, Ethel died 12 May 1910, so we can date the photo to sometime in 1909 or early 1910).
Carrie was the daughter of Clark Edward Kerby, grandson of Mother's great-aunt Mary Ellen DENHAM. Carrie's mother was Addie Permelia MORRIS, sister of Sam, Jennie, and Henry. (Obviously, that side of my mother's family had a "thing" for the Morrises...)
"Orel N." is still a mystery. Like Etta, she may've gone by her middle name and I have her by only her first.
At any rate, four out of five isn't bad!

2006 Committee on Professional Concerns
The Committee's primary goal for the past year has been to find a proactive way to serve the members of our organization better.
The committee decided to cosponsor and facilitate cracker-barrels (CBs) on the "Professional Concerns of..." the various subsets of the AAPT community. The intent of the PCC is that these CBs be solution-focused not just open-ended opportunities for complaining. The committee cosponsored one of these CBs at WM06 (Anchorage) and four more at SM06 (Syracuse); certainly common areas of complaint were identified but more importantly, solutions were shared, ad hoc committees were formed, and action plans were created. Typically, Committee Chairs associated with the group were present; they took notes to monitor follow-through and collected information for future use by their committees. These CBs have proven more popular than we ever imagined with most groups requesting the CBs be held at least annually. Much has been accomplished and many positive results have come from these CBs; I found it personally satisfying when real life solutions to long-standing issues were shared member to member.
In addition to the "Professional Concerns of..." CBs the PCC sponsored:
The PCC wishes to thank Lila Adair and Harvey Leff for their invaluable support of the committee's new CB approach to addressing professional concerns.
—Dean Hudek, Chair
Review Board Response
The initiative by this committee to develop a series of cracker-barrel sessions at national meetings in cooperation with other area committees appears to have been well received by AAPT members and area committees. This initiative reflects good collaboration among our committees with our members as beneficiaries of this effort.
The suggestion that AAPT encourage faculty teaching awards based on alumni feedback would be an interesting new effort for the organization. This idea needs more discussion by the committee with some attention being paid to any existing efforts at universities to obtain alumni feedback on the quality of their teaching and educational experiences.

2006 Committee on Research in Physics Education
Only a few years ago, the Physics Education Research (PER) community was small enough to make decisions by having a few dozen people sit in a room together and talk. The community has outgrown this homey approach to decision making—not only in its size, but also in its intellectual and institutional diversity, as well as in the complexity and significance of the decisions it makes. This year, the first Physics Education Research Leadership and Organizing Council (PERLOC) was elected in response to the need for a representative leadership group for the PER community. PERLOC's constituency is the Physics Education Research Topical Group (PERTG) of AAPT, the first such topical group within this organization. PERLOC has six elected members (Noah Finkelstein, Stephen Kanim, Lillian McDermott, Valerie Otero, E. F. Redish, and Michael Wittmann) plus the chair of the AAPT Committee on Research in Physics Education, who is a voting member ex officio. PERLOC is enjoined to undertake whatever leadership and organizing activities are pressing for the community. Among the most pressing of these are the organization of the annual Physics Education Research Conference (PERC) and the publication of a newsletter informing the community of events and news relevant to PER. PERLOC invites members of the community to identify other important issues, and is developing channels to facilitate communication between PERLOC and the members of PERTG. PERLOC does not replace the AAPT Committee on Research in Physics Education (RiPE), whose members are appointed by AAPT. PERLOC and RiPE work closely together on matters significant to the AAPT PER community.
In 2006, RiPE-sponsored sessions at national meetings presented new techniques in quantitative assessment, explored the application of cognitive models to instructional development, and compared theoretical perspectives in physics education research. Workshops included long-running, consistently popular workshops on which the AAPT community has come to depend as well as new workshops introducing the community to innovative topics, techniques, and instructional environments. Workshops and invited sessions are among the PER community's primary venues for communication and dissemination, and one of RiPE's most difficult challenges is the demand for and capacity to deliver more high-quality workshops than we are currently allotted to present. Organizers have been experimenting with new formats to try to work within the present constraints; for example, two organizers volunteered to try offering their workshops as special-format "invited sessions" during the 2007 Summer Meeting (Greensboro) rather than as official workshops. We hope to work with AAPT as workshop and invited session allotments are re-valuated for the future.
The 2006 PERC, held this summer in Syracuse, had as its theme "Discipline-Based Education Research in Other STEM Disciplines" and featured keynote speakers in chemistry, biology, math, astronomy, and geoscience. Organizers Steve Kanim, Michael Loverude, Chandralekha Singh, and Rebecca Lindell sustained the innovative session formats explored in previous years, including targeted poster sessions and roundtable discussions. In other conference news, the second Foundations and Frontiers of Physics Education Research (FFPER) conference is planned for the summer of 2007. The week-long residential meeting, endorsed by RiPE, AAPT, PERLOC, and the APS Forum on Education, provides a unique forum for examining and articulating the current state of the field, exploring future directions, and discussing ways to pursue the most promising avenues for future research. Organizers Michael Wittmann, Paula Heron, and Rachel Scherr hope that plenary speakers this year will include international physics education researchers in addition to those from North America.
Publication venues in PER continue to grow. The AIP publication of the Proceedings of the Physics Education Research Conference has greatly increased access to past manuscripts as well as current ones. The new Physical Review Special Topics: Physics Education Research has published 20 articles in three online volumes since its inception in 2005; 14 of these were published in 2006, out of 38 manuscripts received (a 37% acceptance rate). The editors continue to welcome submission of high-quality manuscripts as the journal becomes more established.
Amidst new forms of self-governance, new and continuing conferences, emerging publication venues, and continued growth, the PER community continues to enjoy a productive and convivial relationship with AAPT. We look forward to continuing this productivity as AAPT strives to become the leading voice in physics education.
—Rachel Scherr, Chair
Review Board Response
The Committee on Research in Physics Education (RiPE) is part of the larger PER community, which has grown impressively in recent years. This has given rise to the formation of a topical group (PERTG) and the election of a Physics Education Research Leadership and Organizing council (PERLOC). It is clear that PERLOC is a much needed stronger and more representative leadership group than RiPE can be. It is not entirely clear what RiPE's involvement, if any, will be with the PERC and the corresponding newsletter. PER is an important, indeed essential, element of AAPT and is fulfilling its mission well by organizing and implementing a variety of high quality activities.
RiPE's mission statement calls for it to "encourage and follow research on the teaching and learning of physics and related topics" and it did this admirably in 2006.
Through its workshops and sessions at national meetings, it has addressed in part RiPE's goals to:

2006 Committee on Science Education for the Public
The Committee on Science Education for the Public (CSEP) is committed to conveying physics concepts and the importance of science instruction to the general public. Committee members have been active in 2006 in follow-up and continuing activities associated with the World Year of Physics (WYP). Our primary method for achieving our goal is to provide AAPT members and the physics community information and support through workshops and sessions organized by committee members. To this end, the CSEP has organized sessions, workshops, and cracker-barrels to address societal issues, and to support science outreach efforts and science education for the general public.
Events focusing on societal issues include the ever-popular sessions and cracker-barrels on "Physics and Society Education," as well as sessions on "Physics and Art/Art and Physics," and "Energy and the Environment." Workshops on societal issues include "The Population Game," based on the problems associated with the exponential growth of the human population, and a workshop on the "Science of Information Technology." Events focusing on science outreach and public education include cracker-barrels on "Contemplating a Physics on the Road Handbook" and "WYP Outreach Retrospective." Workshops focusing on science outreach and public education include "Civic Engagement and Service Learning," "Make Your Own Haunted Physics Lab," "Physics and Toys II," "Energy Momentum," "Electricity and Magnetism," "Fluid Instabilities in the Kitchen and in the Ocean," "Physics on the Road," and "Not Your Usual PowerPoint"—a how-to workshop on presentations. CSEP members were also involved in the public physics demonstration show at the 2006 Summer Meeting (Syracuse).
In addition to direct service to the AAPT membership, the CSEP has committed to providing the physics community with resources to support physics outreach. The CSEP is in the process of developing a Wikipedia "How-To Guide for Physics Outreach," hosted on COMPADRE.
—Steve Shropshire, Chair
Review Board Response
Although the greater part of this committee's efforts has focused on sessions and workshops, it must be noted that this is really a two-pronged effort, one prong focusing on outreach to educate the public, the other devoted to educating students on the interaction of physics and society. This leads to two strands of workshops and sessions that enrich our national meetings. The most prominent 2006 accomplishment of the Committee on Science Education for the Public in addition to sessions and workshops was its working to develop a "How-to Guide for Physics Outreach" on ComPADRE, and this is highly commended by the Review Board. At the same time, the Physics on the Road handbook, previously considered as a project to be funded, now seems to be shifted to the status of "contemplation"; is there a retrenchment in the thinking about this project?

2006 Committee on Space Science and Astronomy
The Committee on Space Science and Astronomy (CSSA) has been fortunate to have a high degree of interest and support in recent years, and 2006 was no exception. Workshops and sessions for both meetings were well attended, and more sessions and workshops were proposed than could be accommodated by the committee. Regular sessions such as "Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Science" and "Innovations in Teaching Astronomy" continue to be popular offerings.
A sample of CSSA sponsored or co-sponsored workshops offered in 2006 includes topics on analyzing supernovae remnants (Donna Young, Chandra X-Ray Observatory); using technology to effectively teach astronomy (Kevin Lee, University of Nebraska); and teaching cosmic evolution using Voyages Through Time (Mary Kadooka, University of Hawaii). Sample sessions include the aforementioned Frontiers and Innovations, as well as "Conceptual Understanding of Astronomical Phenomena" (Presider Rebecca Lindell, Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville). There were also a number of cracker-barrel and town hall meetings held to encourage the continued interactions of astronomy education researchers and astronomy instructors.
The 2007 Winter Meeting (Seattle), to be held in conjunction with the American Astronomical Society, will be an especially exciting one for the CSSA. We will be sponsoring or co-sponsoring a session in nearly every time slot throughout the meeting. We are pleased to report that interest in space science and astronomy remains strong among the AAPT membership and that astronomical subjects continue to be recognized as a way of teaching physics concepts in an exciting context.
—Janelle M. Bailey, Chair
Review Board Response
The Committee on Space Science and Astronomy (CSSA) was very active in 2006, and its work was of high quality. Much of the Committee's efforts focused on sessions and workshops at national meetings. We encourage the CSSA to seek ways to reach out to AAPT members and potential members who do not attend national meetings.
The CSSA's mission statement cites the objective, "To strengthen and maintain contacts with national organizations concerned with space science and astronomy and the teaching thereof." Although no evidence of work with other such organizations was presented for year 2006, the joint 2007 Winter Meeting with AAS provided a good opportunity for interactions with AAS.
Another mission statement goal is "To provide AAPT members with a perspective on current space science and astronomy research through 'Frontiers in Space Science and Astronomy' sessions. The CSSA's work arranging sessions and workshops at national meetings was excellent and well received. The CSSA is commended for these activities.
A third goal is "To promote excellence in teaching astronomy by: (a) Sponsoring hands-on workshops that introduce the latest in computer software and observational techniques taught in labs; (b) Holding sessions that provide information on resources for teaching materials; on successful and unsuccessful curricula developments; on research in teaching; and on the interrelationships between astronomy and other disciplines; and (c) Working with sister committees to promote areas of joint interest." The CSSA sponsored an exciting array of workshops at national meetings and also cracker-barrel sessions to promote discussions among interested faculty. The CSSA's efforts to address items (a) and (b) are praiseworthy. No evidence was provided to support item (c).

2006 Committee on Teacher Preparation
The Committee on Teacher Preparation had open meetings at the 2006 Winter Meeting (Anchorage) and Summer Meeting (Syracuse). Attendance at the meetings (Anch., 27; Syra., 40+) included most committee members, and new faces and friends of the committee. Meetings began and ended as scheduled. Agendas were distributed before each meeting and informal meeting minutes afterward through our listserv.
Attendance at our sponsored sessions has been encouraging with strong response to our calls for papers and posters. We continue to collaborate with other committees (HS, PREHS, UGED & RIPE) to showcase teacher preparation and to provide a strong and varied program for AAPT meetings. After a successful pilot in Syracuse we continue to offer poster sessions that consist of a single invited talk, introduction of posters, conversations with poster presenters and a summative discussion all in one room. These sessions will move to invited posters in the same format for the 2007 Summer Meeting (Greensboro).
In Anchorage we cosponsored four workshops and one session, "Reducing Teacher Isolation: Induction and Mentoring." Sessions in Syracuse included, "Innovations in Physics Teacher Preparation" and "Engaging the Community in the Preparation of Teachers of Physics." Two new workshops, which will be repeated at future meetings, were also offered.
Several committee members and friends have been working under the leadership of Pat Callahan with the High School Committee to revise the AAPT document, "The Role, Education and Qualifications of the High School Physics Teacher." The committee's connection to the PhysTEC project and PTEC, now numbering over 50 institutions, remains very strong. Several committee members were presenters at local section meetings, the 2006 PTEC conference at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and the NSTA National Conference in Anaheim, CA.
We are pleased that the AAPT Board looked favorably at the committee's request for the establishment and support of a Joint (AAPT, AIP, APS) National Task Force the Physical Science Preparation of K-12 Teachers. A small planning group met at the winter meeting in Seattle to refine the scope of work and to develop a timeline and process to identify the Task Force members.
Finally, we continue the effort to keep committee members and "friends" of the committee informed by posting: current articles and reports, reminders of deadlines and the "minutes" of the committee meetings to the ctp-l listserv. More than 350 "friends" of the committee have joined the active list that now includes our colleagues in PTEC. Many thoughtful and interesting discussions have taken place with over 600 messages posted this year.
—Paul Hickman, Chair
Review Board Response
Under organized and experienced leadership, this committee has evinced many areas of strength —in attendance at its meetings, membership and activity of its listserv; joint efforts with other AAPT committees; and interest in joint efforts with sister organizations; as well as the more customary provision for sessions and workshops at national meetings. The richness and diversity of the outreach of the Committee on Teacher Preparation holds this committee up as a symbol of what a committee can be as part of a more active and coherent AAPT. This merits the highest commendation from the Review Board.

2006 Committee on Women in Physics
The year 2006 has been a year of renewal and strengthening of the Committee on Women in Physics. We began the year in Anchorage, Alaska, with a small but dedicated turnout. Sessions such as "Gender Issues in Science Education," "Contributions of Women in Physics in Alaska," and speaker DeeDee Jonrowe, a former and current Iditarod competitor (who, by the way, finished fourth in March 2006) drew much interest and conversation. We were able to discuss, in length, issues of importance in physics education and to our committee. Conditions for teaching in Alaska are truly unique in the American educational system, where distances between towns is vast and the term rural means "no road" and "off the electrical grid." Planning for our 25th Anniversary celebration at the 2006 Summer Meeting (Syracuse) was finalized, and action items for our committee (setting up a new web page, reviving the listserv, and strengthening ties with other women in science organizations) were identified.
Early in the year our listserv was reactivated, providing broader dissemination of committee information and activities, and inclusion of more friends in our discussion process. We now have nearly 50 members on our list, and hope to improve the activity and discussion within the list over the next few years.
The Syracuse meeting was well-attended and brought issues of women in physics into the spotlight with our 25th Anniversary celebration. In keeping with our goals of strengthening ties with other societies, an informational table was set up that highlighted the Committee on the Status of Women in Physics' poster display of "Women Doing Physics," and displayed brochures from other women's groups, most notably the Society of Women Engineers and the Association for Women in Science. Long-time friend and former member of the committee, Betty Preece, spearheaded this effort. Our invited session, "Celebrating Women's Leadership," brought together Judy Franz, Karen Johnston, and Ruth Howes to talk about their leadership experiences and how we can promote women into leadership positions in the future. This was a well-attended session with a lively and lengthy discussion afterward. In addition, Jocelyn Bell Burnell gave a wonderful plenary talk on her discovery of pulsars, leading to a Nobel Prize (though not awarded to her!), and was notably visible at many of our activities during the meeting.
Lauren Jones' experience on the AP Physics Course Validation Panel came to an end this year and she presented a summary of their findings. The result of this work is that the College Board has come up with a list of "best practices" in teaching physics, as exemplified by several specific (unnamed) college physics courses, by which to compare high school AP physics courses. How they will use these findings remains to be seen.
This year comes to a close with a series of Letters to the Editor countering an earlier article in Physics Today magazine informing us (once again) of the low numbers of women in physics and engineering disciplines. These letters asked, "why should we care if more men choose physics as a career than women?" and asserted that "the playing field for women in physics has been level for quite some time now." Perhaps we still have work to do!
—Margaret P. Hill, Chair
Review Board Response
The Committee on Women in Physics (CWIP) was very active in 2006, and its work was of high quality. Its sessions at national meetings were excellent. The lecture by DeeDee Jonrowe at the Multicultural Luncheon in Anchorage was exceptional. The activities and energy of the CWIP deserve high praise, and the Committee is encouraged to work toward broadening its reach within AAPT.
To the extent that its sessions at national meetings and listserv achieve awareness of women's issues, the CWIP addresses its mission statement's goal to "seek more effective means of recruitment and retention of women in physics classes and physics-related careers." Yet, there are many more AAPT members and potential members who are unaware of the CWIP's activities because only 10-15% of AAPT members attend national meetings.
At present, the CWIP mission statement's goal "to seek methods of aiding women in physics in career development." is met to a degree by sessions at national meetings and the CWIP listserv.
The goal "communicate to the AAPT membership and to the community at large the findings of the Committee, through approved AAPT channels" is addressed in part by the CWIP's excellent sessions at national meetings. The listserv can in principle reach other members as well, though it is unclear that this is the case at present. More exposure would be good, as indicated above.

text: On a recent January night, about 100 people gathered in the Tribune Tower to discuss the art of the short story and to kick off the 2013 Nelson Algren Short Story Award contest. Five Algren Award winners — David Michael Kaplan, Joe Meno, Billy Lombardo, Baird Harper and Jeremy T. Wilson — read and dissected the opening paragraphs of their award-winning pieces. The writers educated audience members about place, intent, character, setting and the tenuous balance between humor and drama. While all the authors have different writing procedures — starting with outlines or not, continuously editing a piece or setting it away for a bit — they stressed the importance of just putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). As last year's winner, Wilson, said: "The most important part of writing is just allowing yourself to wander around in the story."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dr. Drew Pinsky says he had his prostate removed earlier this year after discovering he had cancer.
The host of HLN's "Dr. Drew on Call" wrote Tuesday on the network's site that he returned to work in 10 days after having a robotic prostatectomy in July.
Pinsky says he's now cancer-free and the only remnants from his surgery are six small scars on his torso.
The 55-year-old TV personality and addiction specialist hosts "Dr. Drew on Call" on HLN. He previously appeared on such TV series as "Loveline," ''Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" and "Lifechangers."
Pinsky says he's announcing his condition to raise awareness about prostate cancer among men.

Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - Michal and Drew - FULL CONTACT
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Two very good guys, Drew Hemcak and Michal Herak feature in this duo. Michal is a small guy, who is a great bottom and Drew has shown us what a good top he can be too. Things start with the guys sharing a bottle of water, as they take a rest from working. They playfully spray each other with some water, as they work up to doing what they really want. Soon Drew has the courage he needs and stands up and kisses Michal. Michal responds in kind as they also start to feel each other's bodies. Drew takes the lead and removes Michal's jeans and sucks his already quite hard cock. That cock gets rock hard as it is sucked, with Michal holding Drew's head in place as he sucks. Michal then returns the favor by sucking Drew, whose dick looks very big indeed. Clearly Michal loves cock and really sucks and licks it, with relish. Drew is enjoying it and takes his cock and slaps it around Michal's face before pushing it back into his mouth. Drew then grabs Michal by the hair and pushes the cock in and out. Drew then wants more and Michal turns around so that his ass can get some attention. Drew rims that hot ass, tonguing the hole real well, before standing and pushing his big, long cock deep into that ass. He pounds that ass hard and fast, with Michal moaning at each thrust. Then Drew sits and Michal climbs on to ride that cock, bouncing up and down on it before Drew takes over and fucks his throbbing dick up into that willing hole. Michal can take it very well and drew grabs his legs, lifting them up so he can fuck even deeper, with Michal laying on his chest. It's not long before Drew needs to blow, which he does, dumping a nice big load into Michal's open mouth. Michal's tongue laps at the spent cock as he wanks himself to a very good climax. Drew moves into a 69 position to suck Michal's cock dry, with Michal also lapping at Drew's. What a lovely scene, with two very good guys.
We did a great solo shoot with Jozef Vavrich and had a workshop student arriving soon afterwards, so we invited Jozef back for a massage as part of the workshop. He is a lovely looking guy and he readily agreed to come back. Jozef starts by stripping off for us,and doing a 360 degree turn, so we get to inspect all his assets. Then he climbs onto the massage table and awaits the arrival of the masseur. The masseur comes in and places a towel over Jozef'f cute little ass and then gets to work. He drips some oil onto Jozef's back and begins to massage it, gently. The hands work over Jozef's back very well and then his arms too. The masseur is working well and is soon dipping his hand uner the towel to feel that sexy ass. Then he oils the legs and works his way all over them, including the feet. But is the ass that fascinates him, and his hands soon find they way back up there, folding the towel into a smaller size so that we see more of those cheeks. The masseur then removes the towel and begins to really work on the ass. Using some lube, dripped onto the hole the masseur begins to spread the cheeks, lubing the crack and showing us a very nice hole. Very soon a finger slips into the hole, to test it a bit, and then a hand goes under Jozef to play with his cock and balls. So a finger is fucking the hole while the other hand is playing with the cock. That finger has worked its way into the hole nice and deep, and cant go further, so a vibrator comes into play and slide into the loosened hole. Jozef's ass is raised in the air slightly, so the ass spreads more as the vibrator works the hole. Then the masseur judges the time is right for more and Jozef is moved up onto his knees and a larger vibrator is pushed into his tight hole, with his hardening cock being pushed back between his legs. Jozef seems quite comfortable with the vibrator and his ass holds it in place as his cock is wanked. Next a much larger vibrator takes it place in that ass. Jozef feels it, but takes it very well as it really stretches his hole. Jozef then moves onto his side, with one leg up, so the smaller vibrator can work his ass while his cock is wanked. Jozef then starts to wank himself, laying on his back. His cock gets very hard indeed and soon blows a nice creamy load, which the masseur collects and smears over Jozef's lips before leaving him to relax. What a very nice shoot, with Jozef being a perfect subject for a massage. I hope we get him back for even more.
Roman Stach is aged 23 and lives in Ostrava where he is a student of aviation. He enjoys playing the guitar and mountain climbing in his spare time. In this video Roman starts standing and begins to feel his body, thru his clothes, his hands running all over his chest and groin. Then he lifts his tee shirt to reveal that wonderful abdomen, muscled and hard. His hand runs over the chest and dips into the jeans, then undoes the belt to open them. His hand now has easier access and goes deep into the jeans. Roman then removes his tee shirt and we get a much better view of his great chest. Next Roman goes through his posing routine to show us his muscles hard and taut. After teasing us for a while he pushes the jeans down and we see that his cock is rock hard and ready for action. He jacks his cock a bit before turning around to show us his ass. Bending over he spreads the cheeks and that dark, hairy crack is opened for us so we get to see his hole. Roman then hops up on the pedestal, sitting and letting his jeans drop to the floor as he wanks that throbbing cock. What a great view of his cock so hard and upright. Roman then climbs down and lays down to lift his legs and expose his ass again. Then he wanks himself to a very nice pop shot before going off for a shower. He needs a piss while in the shower and lets it flow before he washes himself. What a great looking guy, and a perfect body. Roman is a really excellent model who gave us a really good scene.
Jirka Bohaty lives in Prague and is aged 18. He works as a decorator and in his spare time he enjoys playing football and ice-hockey. What a very cute looking guy Jirka is, with his lovely face and nice, slim body. In this shoot Jirka strips of his clothes so that we can see him in all his glory. But even before he has his jeans off we get to see a very large, fat cock which is rock hard. What a beautiful cock it is, and it stands to attention very well indeed, as Jirka poses for the camera. We get some really good pics of him, including some lovely shots of his ass spread very well showing us a lovely tight pucker hole. I am very impressed with Jirka and look forward to his video shoot.
Kaja Kolomaz is from Ceske Budjovice. He is aged 25 and works as a joiner. In his spare time Kaja enjoys, sport, athletics and fitness. Kaja is a great looking guy who we have already done some duos with. This is his erotic video and he starts with his interview before standing and beginning his show. Rubbing his crotch and feeling his body Jirka looks great. He has a very good body, and loves to show it off. Turning around Jirka pushes his jeans down over his ass, and what a lovely ass it is. He grabs the cheeks and spreads them to show us his hole, bending over to make sure we get a great view. Then he lays down on the bed and wanks his cock as a helping hand arrives. The hands start by rubbing Jirka's chest and then takes a hold of his cock and makes it nice and hard, play with the balls as well. Then Jirka's legs are lifted into the air to show us his hole. The hands take some oil and rubs it over Jirkas cock, balls and ass and then wanks that hard cock while slipping a finger into the tight ass. Then a vibrator is pushed into Jirka's hole and fucks in and out, opening it up until it is ready for more. A nice thick dildo appears and presses against that hole, slipping past the tight sphincter. Next another vibrator is called into use, a big black one which fucks Jirka's ass nice and deep. Jirka likes that and wanks himself to a lovely climax as the vibrator fucks him. The hands scoop up the cum and smear it over Jirka's face and then leaves him so that he can go to the shower to clean himself up. What a great guy Jirka is, showing us that he is willing to give up his ass for us, and he has done so again in more scenes. He is very good indeed.

Q: Which type of collar key is best?
A: This is a difficult question to answer because different people have different needs and may not agree on what is "good" and what is "bad." However, we'll take a stab at it. Remember that the features of the pet door you want may be just as or more important than the characteristics of the type of collar key that is uses.
The Vet-Implanted ID Microchip-
The Pros for this type of collar key are impressive. Most importantly, there's no collar needed because the collar key is actually the ID chip that your vet implanted under the skin. The absence of the need for a collar has a number of very important advantages. Some cats won't tolerate them at all. There's always some danger of a cat accidentally getting his collar hung up on a branch or another object which can have disastrous consequences. (Break-away collars avoid that danger, but if they break away you've lost both the collar and the collar key possibly trapping the pet outside.) In addition, the implanted chip doesn't add to the clutter if you've already got ID tags (you DO have an ID Tag, Right?) or a hidden fencing system receiver on the collar. These collar keys are the only ones that are never lost and you don't need to pay for spares "just in case." Finally, no batteries are required for the collar key (the pet door will need power, though.)
On the other hand there are a few disadvantages. The largest pet door flap available with this technology is only 7"w x 7"h, this is the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door, which would not be suitable for larger pets. And most only control who comes in not who goes out, the exception is the Dual Scan, with a very limiting flap dimension of 5-¾"w x 4-¾"h. These doors are compatible with almost every North American microchip, but it may be wise to check with your vet to be sure you've got one of the right ones and, make sure that the chip is still at the top of the neck where it belongs and hasn't migrated somewhere else. If the chip has migrated down the back it won't be in the right spot to trigger the door consistently. You can also email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with the number on your chip and we can double check the compatibility. Finally, installation in a metal door can be tricky because a wood "collar" is needed for the door to keep it separate from the metal.
The Magnetic Collar Key-
There are two types: For the first, the magnet actually pulls a lever inside the cat door which unlocks the door. In this case, the cat door doesn't require any power and there is no electronic circuitry to corrode or fail. For the second type, the magnetic field of the magnet is sensed by the pet door and it unlocks in response. These Electromagnetic doors require power, in the form of a battery. In both cases the collar key requires no power, as it is just a magnet. Magnetic collar keys are less expensive to replace and are waterproof.
On the other hand, the magnets used to pull an inside lever are relatively strong and more likely to pickup debris like nails and bottle caps. Since they're stronger they may exert more pull than is comfortable for a kitten and at least one manufacturer recommends that they not be used until the cat is a little older. Positioning of the pet door is important as the magnetic collar key has to come extremely close or make contact with the bottom frame of the pet door. If mounted too high or too low the key might not trigger the door as it never gets close enough. Some manufacturers recommend that installation in a ferrous metal door may require that a wooden collar be built to isolate the pet door from the door. An aluminum door would not present a problem. Finally, a magnet is a magnet; there is no way for the cat door to distinguish among your pets or between your cat and a neighbor's cat that happens to also wear a magnetic collar key.
The Ultra-Sonic Collar Key-
High frequency sound (much higher than can be heard by your pet) is not affected by sunlight (as were the infra-red type) or by the material that the electronic door is installed in or by the use of any other electronic like hidden fencing. The sensitivity of the microphones can be adjusted to allow the user to control the distance at which the electronic pet door activates.
But, batteries are required so you'll need to check them occasionally. The units are susceptible to damage from water. Even though, there is a waterproof version, you shouldn't use this for a pet that swims in a lake. Finally, a few (but not all) cat owners have felt that the unit was too large and uncomfortable for their pet.
The Radio-Frequency Chip-
The PetSafe Smart Door, a popular electronic dog door, uses a chip that emits a radio frequency signal. When the door reads that signal, it unlocks and when it can longer read the signal it locks again. The collar key can be programmed to emit a unique signal and the door can recognize up to five different keys.
Of course these keys require battery power and, again, some have felt them to be too large for their cats.
RFID Chip Collar Keys-
RFID technology is the latest to make its appearance in the collar key world and appears to have some strong advantages: They require no batteries, they are very durable, and are waterproof.
While some, like for the Cat Mate Elite series are perfectly appropriate for cats, others are larger and you may not find them suitable for use by your cat specifically. Additionally, they tend to be on the more expensive side.
Q: Some electronic pet doors control access from outside only, while others are controllable from both sides. What difference does this make?
A: In most cases, the outside access control only works just fine. Here are the situations in which access from both directions can be an advantage:
You want to keep an inside pet (or child) from going outside in addition to preventing strays and other animals from coming inside.
You are concerned about raccoons coming in through the pet door. At least some raccoons have figured out that a one-way control electronic pet door can be broken into by hooking the flap with a claw and pulling the flap toward the outside. Then they can come through the opening. No one knows if every raccoon can do this, but they are very clever. Two way control prevents this.
Q: Some electronic pet doors are motorized while others require the pet to push the flap after unlocking. What's the difference?
A: Motorized electronic pet doors always control from both directions: non-motorized versions may be either one-way or two-way control.
A timid, arthritic, or injured pet may find it easier to use a motorized version since he doesn't need to learn to push anything; the door simply opens in front of him. This is probably the most significant advantage of a motorized pet door.
We suspect that the motorized versions may be slightly less able to keep a second pet from following the first out. It's true that the time the flap remains open can be made short. But it's still open to all during that time. The must-push versions present a following pet with a flap swinging toward him as the leader clears the door. That would seem to be a more effective deterrent.
Manual versions may be used in a non-electronic mode; motorized pet doors cannot.
Q: What are the different power requirements of electronic pet doors?
A: As we've seen above, some magnetically operated pet doors require no power source at all; neither for the door nor for the collar key. For the remaining electronic pet doors there are four possibilities:
Some are operated by batteries only
Some may be operated with AC power thus requiring a nearby wall outlet.
At least one, the Hi Tech Power Pet, can use AC Power with a battery backup in addition to the first two options.
With an electrician's help you might be hardwire the pet door.
Q: What problems are there with electronic pet doors?
A: The first is reliability. With electronic doors, there are more issues that are likely to occur. If a manual pet door works for you and your pet, we would definitely recommend the manual door as a better option. An electronic door can run into issues like a dead battery, since their is no battery level indicator, this problem could occur unexpectedly and would hinder your pet from entering/exiting.On the other hand, the only time a manual pet door would stop your pet from entering/exiting is if you personally put the locking cover on. .
Cost. Electronic pet doors, particularly the motorized versions, tend to be more expensive than manual pet doors. Lost collars and keys can add up, too. Although there certainly are some high-performance manual pet doors that are quite expensive as well.
Rigid Flaps. All electronic pet doors incorporate rigid flaps. However, some people prefer a flexible flap for reasons of safety and a softer surface for the pet to push. In this regard, it should be noted that the motorized pet doors do not offer the pinching danger of a normal rigid flap.
Q: What does it mean to "control both ways?"
A: The option to control both ways allows the door to control which animals can enter and exit. This can prevent animals such as raccoons from getting inside, as well as keep your pet or even child inside when necessary. Access from both directions can be an advantage if you want to keep an inside pet (or child) from going outside while also preventing outside animals from getting inside without a collar key.
Q: Which doors control access both ways?
A: The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door, PetSafe Smart Door, Plexidor, High Tech, and Cat Mate 305/306 control access both ways.
Q: I want my dog to be able to get in and out of the house, but not my cat, which pet door would work for that?
A: The PetSafe Electronic Smart Door would be a good choice that allows for this type of this functionality.
Q: How big are the collar keys on the different electronic doors?
A: Microchips are collarless, as they are surgically implanted by your vet. RFID tags tend to be smaller because they don't need batteries, with the exception of the Plexidor Electronic. Battery run tags are bulkier because there needs to be space for a battery to be held in there.
Q: What's the biggest electronic pet door you have?
A: The Plexidor Electronic Dog Door is the biggest as far as height. The Petsafe Electronic Smart Door is the biggest as far as width for dog doors.
Q: How is the PetSafe Electronic Smart Door powered?
A: This smart door is powered by "D" cell batteries, which are not included. There is no low battery indicator on the Electronic Smart Door so it might be useful to keep a spare collar key nearby for testing purposes.
Q: Can I get a microchip dog door for my Lab?
A: Unfortunately, there are currently no dog doors or large cat doors available that use microchip technology for a bigger animal like a Lab. There are microchip doors for smaller dogs and cats however.
Q: Can the large dog doors be programmed to only allow access during parts of the day?
A: Yes, the High Tech Power Pet Door (if connected to a timer), and Plexidor Electronic Doors (if connected to a timer) can all be programmed to allow access during certain parts of the day.
Q: What are the advantages to having an electronic pet door?
A: An electronic pet door allows you to have control over which pets are able to go in and out of your home, while also keeping wild animals or stray animals out of your home. Another advantage is that electronic doors are wind-proof.
Q: Do magnetic locking pet doors require power?
A: Magnetic locking pet doors do not require power. However, Electromagnetic Pet Doors like the Cat Mate 254/256 and Ideal "E" Cat Door require batteries.
Q: Which pet doors open automatically?
A: The Plexidor and High Tech automated doors are both motorized and open automatically.
Plexidor Electronic Door High Tech Power Pet Auto. Door
Q: Why would you want the pet door to open without the pet pushing?
A: You would want a motorized door if your pet is timid, injured, older aged/arthritic and unable to push on the flap of the door. A motorized pet door allows hassle free entry and exit.
Q: Which electronic dog doors are big enough for medium to larger sized dogs and still require the dog to push the flap to open?
A: The PetSafe Smart Door will generally be adequate for medium to large dogs and they require the dog to still push the flap to get in and out. These two electronic doors differ from other electronic doors because these doors only unlock the flap for entry/exit, rather than the flap opening/closing automatically when the pet gets in close enough proximity to enter/exit. These are also good options for letting the dog out and keeping the cat in.
Q: Which electronic dog door doesn't require batteries in the collar key?
A: The Plexidor and SureFlap do not require batteries in the collar key.
Q: Are there any patio panel doors that control both ways?
A: Yes, the High Tech Power Pet Automatic Pet Door controls both ways.
Q: Which electronic pet doors can be plugged in for power?
A: The Plexidor Electronic Door and High Tech Power Pet Automatic can be plugged in for power.
Plexidor Electronic Door High Tech Power Pet Automatic
Q: Which electronic pet doors can have a rechargeable battery?
A: The High Tech Power Pet Door has a rechargeable battery.
Q: Do all electronic pet doors have low battery indicator lights?
A: Not all electronic pet doors have low battery indicator lights. Typically, just the smaller cat doors offer this feature.
Q: Do the rigid flaps of motorized pet doors create a danger for pets or children?
A: The rigid flaps of motorized pet doors do not typically create a danger for pets or children because the flap is retractable and will lift back open if it senses something is in the way.
Q: Do all electronic pet doors have rigid flaps?
A: Yes, all electronic pet doors have rigid flaps.
Q: Which electronic doors have timer controls?
A: Yes the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door and the Cat Mate 305 both have timer controls.
Q: Do you have any electronic doors that are raccoon proof?
A: Yes, the SureFlap, Cat Mate 305/306, PetSafe Smart Door, Plexidor, and High Tech Power Pet Door are all raccoon proof.
Q: Is there a microchip door for sliding doors?
A: The Thermo Panel 2e Microchip Patio Panel pet door can be used for sliding doors.
Thermo Panel 2e Microchip Patio Panel
Q: With the SureFlap can I program both the implanted microchip and the collar key, that way if my cat loses their collar the chip will trigger the door?
A: No, the RFID collar key must be discontinued after chipping your pet because the two signals will confuse the pet door.
Q: Which electronic doors have 4-way locks?
A: The SureFlap, Cat Mate 256/356, and High Tech offer the 4-way locking mechanism.
Q: How many keys do each of the doors come with?
Number of Keys Included
Q: Do you have doors that will work off my cats microchip?
A: Yes, SureFlap and CatMate both make electronic doors that can be activated by your cat's microchip. (Sureflap Microchip Cat Door, Pet Door & SureFlap Dual Scan, also Cat Mate 355/356). The microchip MUST be implanted by a vet. You cannot try to attach a microchip to the pet's existing collar or ID tag as it will not trigger the pet door properly.
Q: Can I install the SureFlap in a metal door?
A: Yes, the SureFlap can be installed in a metal door. However, you'll want to put a border/adaptor around the frame before installation because the metal in the door can interfere with the signal if it is too close to the frame of the pet door. See installation video for more details.

On Sunday, Chicago's third annual Chicago Ideas Week (CIW) officially came to a close. The Fire were excited to be one of two sports teams in town (the other being the Bulls) to participate. CIW has quickly grown to be Chicago's premier event for sharing ideas, inspiring action, and igniting change to positively impact our world and getting invited to participate is a great honor.
More than 30 students came to Toyota Park on Friday afternoon to join in our Youth Lab. Representatives from each area of the Front Office set aside their time to give the group a behind-the-scenes look at the Fire, from getting ready for game day to what it takes to be a good corporate citizen, to what it really takes if you want to work in sports. The evening wrapped with an all-access tour of Toyota Park.
While we're sad to see another Chicago Ideas Week come and go, we were definitely happy to play host this year (even late on a Friday afternoon). Check out https://www.chicagoideas.com/ for more great content from this year's week.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ready2Style from Ohlala Haven't worn this jacket out yet but I'm lovin the way it screams "danger, do not touch". It's very edgy and leaves more than enough room to show off waist and hips. From the picture you can't really tell but the leather is actually shredded in individual pieces to create this design.

Losing a pet might be your child's first experience with death. Here's how to help him through it:
Tell him the truth. Saying his dog was "put to sleep" or "went away" is confusing, not comforting. Better to say, "Rufus died, and that means we won't see him anymore." Be prepared to repeat yourself: Preschoolers need reminding that death is permanent.
Answer his questions. By listening and responding, you can show you care how he's feeling. Just try to keep your answers short so your child can process what you've said, says Jonathan Pochyly, Ph.D., a child psychologist at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
Reassure and console him. If your child starts to worry about other loved ones dying, you can tell him that most people don't die until they're very old. Pochyly suggests using a ruler to help kids compare the length of a dog's life (an inch) to a human's (a foot). And give him all the hugs he needs.
Remember your pet. Talk about what you loved about him, draw pictures, and look at photos together. It's not prolonging the pain -- it's a great way to help your child learn that death is sad but life goes on. And when you decide your family is ready for another pet, you can remind your child that it isn't a replacement but a new friend to love.
