Posted on 02/23/2005 6:33:21 AM PST by amdgmary
A court rules that a feeding tube can be removed, a judge orders a stay, and the legal struggle continues.
WILLIAM R. LEVESQUE, CHRIS TISCH and LAUREN BAYNE ANDERSON
Published February 23, 2005
PINELLAS PARK - The seven-year legal battle over the fate of Terri Schiavo reaches a critical and familiar juncture today leading either to the end of her life or more legal maneuvers to sustain it.
Just days before the 15th anniversary of their daughter's collapse, Bob and Mary Schindler are once again asking a judge today to stop Michael Schiavo from ordering his wife's feeding tube to be removed so they can explore further appeals.
A judge's order barring the tube's removal expires at 5 p.m. today, opening the possibility that feeding will be stopped for the third time since 2001.
On Tuesday, the case hit the latest in a long series of legal standoffs.
First, an appeals court released an order that seemingly cleared the way for Schiavo's husband to order that his wife's feeding tube be removed. But less than an hour later, Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George Greer issued a second order stopping him at least until Greer hears argument today about whether to grant a further stay.
Without the food and water the tube brings, Schiavo is expected to die within two weeks.
Lawyers on both sides of this bitter and protracted legal battle agree that the case is at an important crossroads.
"Tomorrow is a huge day," attorney David Gibbs III, who represents Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, told reporters Tuesday.
George Felos, a lawyer representing Michael Schiavo said, "We're hopeful the courts will finally come to the point of saying, "No more delay.' "
Among the pending legal issues is a challenge to remove Schiavo as his wife's guardian, though Felos said a new guardian also would be forced to carry out court orders to end his wife's life.
In addition, Gibbs said he also plans to file a motion to seek further neurological testing to show Terri Schiavo may be in a minimally conscious state and could benefit from therapy, and not in the persistent vegetative state some doctors have diagnosed.
But Felos said she has no cognitive ability and has no chance to recover.
Tuesday started as have so many days in this complex legal contest - with protests, competing news conferences, last-minute court orders and the shadow of uncertainty hanging over everything.
Protesters stood outside Michael Schiavo's Clearwater home early in the morning as police watched nearby. Up to 50 people also protested outside the hospice in Pinellas Park where Terri Schiavo lives, holding signs saying "Thou Shalt Not Kill" or "Let Terri Live."
Matthew Irwin, 24, a student at the University of Florida went to the protest with his mother.
"We're here to pray for Gov. Bush to intervene like last time," he said. "He has the constitutional power and the ability to give Terri life today."
At 1 p.m. Tuesday, the 2nd District Court of Appeal issued a mandate, essentially finalizing an earlier unsuccessful appeal by the Schindlers. Some thought the court would spell out instructions on when the feeding tube could be pulled, which could have delayed the act for weeks.
About 11 a.m., Terri Schiavo's father, Bob Schindler, told protesters outside the hospice: "I don't have much to say except we are begging and pleading for the Legislature and Gov. Bush to save Terri from being murdered in cold blood."
Upon its release, the district court order offered no instructions on when the feeding tube could be removed. In such an event, Felos had promised that his client would seek to end life-support immediately.
But about 1:45 p.m., Greer issued an order preventing the removal of the feeding tube that has kept Schiavo, 41, alive since her collapse Feb. 25, 1990, from a suspected chemical imbalance, which stopped her heart and severely damaged her brain.
Felos refused to say if anyone took steps to remove Schiavo's feeding tube before the stay was issued, but Gibbs said it wasn't touched.
Gibbs said the Schindlers were thrilled at Greer's temporary order. He said, "They believe once again that God has answered their prayers."
The Schindlers' lawyers will ask Greer at a hearing today to extend his stay. If Greer doesn't, Felos told reporters that his client will again have health care professionals remove the feeding tube.
"As soon as he is legally authorized, he will discontinue artificial life support," Felos told reporters at a news conference.
Unlike 2003, when state lawmakers and Bush stepped in and forced doctors to reinsert Schiavo's feeding tube - a move later overturned on appeal - Felos doesn't think lawmakers have any options left.
"There is nothing they can do to overturn the final judgment of the court in this case," he said. "I think legislators know that, their staff people know that and the governor knows that."
Bush spokesman Jacob DiPietre said, "The governor remains concerned. He has never stopped looking for ways to help Terri" within the law.
House Speaker Allan Bense, R-Panama City, said in a statement the Legislature would help Schiavo if it could. But he said they "have not yet identified an appropriate action, in addition to those we've already taken, that would be helpful."
Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry, who has been asked by the Schindlers to organize protests on their daughter's behalf, expressed hope Tuesday that state lawmakers could intervene.
Terry said he wanted Bush to use the Department of Children & Families to take over Terri Schiavo's guardianship. He would also seek a bill that would remove a spouse from guardianship if he or she lives with someone else. Michael Schiavo now lives with a girlfriend and their children.
By day's end Tuesday, few were willing to predict how Greer will rule today, though the stakes have seldom been higher. Terri Schiavo left no living will, leaving Greer to decide after a trial in 2000 what her wishes would have been based on statements she made before her collapse.
If Greer doesn't extend the stay, Gibbs said he will appeal to the 2nd District Court of Appeal, then to the U.S. Supreme Court. Gibbs also said he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review a previous motion that statements by the pope that people in vegetative states have the right to food and water.
His argument is that Schiavo, as a devout Catholic, wouldn't want anything done to her that goes against the pope's wishes. Greer previously rejected that argument, and the district court affirmed him, leading to Tuesday's mandate.
"We have to go everywhere we possibly can to protect the life of Terri Schiavo," Gibbs said.
Felos said Michael Schiavo won't back down or accept any last-minute compromise.
"The fact is he's not going to walk away because he is resolute in carrying out what her wishes are," Felos said.

Q&A: TODAY'S SCHIAVO HEARING What happened Tuesday?
The 2nd District Court of Appeal issued a one-page mandate essentially finalizing an earlier unsuccessful appeal by Terri Schiavo's parents. The appeal used a declaration by Pope John Paul II saying people in vegetative states have the right to food and water to argue Schiavo, as a devout Catholic, would not want anything done to her in violation of the pope's words. What did the Pinellas-Pasco judge do in response to that order?
With Schiavo's husband threatening to order doctors to remove her feeding tube as soon as the 2nd DCA's mandate was official, Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George Greer issued a stay stopping him until at least 5 p.m. today.
What happens today?
Greer will hear arguments at 2:45 p.m. about whether he should extend that stay to give Schiavo's parents time to explore further appeals.
Will the tube be removed, and if so when?
It's impossible to say and even lawyers involved won't predict. It could happen as soon as today, or Greer could delay the tube's removal indefinitely.
If the feeding tube is removed from Terri Schiavo, how long will she live?
Generally a person lives a week or two once the tube is removed before dying from dehydration. It could be as little as 48 hours or as long as three weeks.
If this was an animal you would be charged with cruelty to animals
Regardless of the outcome there is a special place in hell for Felos and the "husband" Schiavo.
Why is it you couldn't treat a death row inmate with cruel and unusual punishment in the way they are put to death but you can allow an innocent women to be put to death in such a manner????
But Michael's earlier attorneys already put into court records that "she has some sense of her predicament"

the more I read about Felos, the less I think he qualifies as "human."
Felos terms this "life support" but I see it as assisted feeding. She is breathing on her own. How do these people live with themselves?
One little wake-up for the state of Florida: If Terri dies, Florida's lucrative retirement industry dies.
Thanks for the ping.
US Senators and Congressmembers:

Once they legally get rid of her they will have found a solution to the Social Security "problem".
"Where there is life there is hope!" - Terri Schiavo
Supposedly because you would only do this to someone who is in a vegetative (unfeeling) state.
Probably not if you could make a case that the animal was in a vegetative (unfeeling) state.
That's the issue in this case. Schiavo says Terri is vegetative. The Schindlers say she's not. Judge Greer, for whatever reason, is ruling for Schiavo.
I found the link - it is here:
Hang on pal the flames are coming. 4,337th. Schiavvo Post.
Murdering babies is fine and murdering them in a violent manner is fine.
Candlelight vigils for murderers who are about to be executed is fine.
Saving the life of a woman against the wishes of her family even though her husband has no written/legal proof of his claims is OK.
We are needing to take our country back. I believe we are on the right road but oh but we have much more work to be done at the pols. God help those who snuff out lives because they can. Oh boy...God help them.
Please ping the list.

I think that someone should serve Michael with papers TODAY for repayment of all of the money from the malpractice award that was not paid to the hospice. All money spent on legal fees and anything else other than Terri's care should be returned, since it was awarded for her care and rehabilitation only.

Title: What if There Is Something Going On in There?
...Traditionally, there have essentially been only two ways to classify [severely brain-damaged patients]: as comatose (eyes closed and responses limited to basic reflexes) or vegetative (eyes opening and closing in a cycle of sleeping and waking but without any sign of awareness).
In either case, it has been assumed that they have no high-level thought. But...researchers are studying people like Rios and finding that the truth is far more complicated. Their evidence suggests that even after an injury that leaves a brain badly damaged, even after months or years with little sign of consciousness, people may still be capable of complex mental activity...
[While an MRI brain scan was being performed on patient Daniel Rios, a man diagnosed as being in a 'vegetative state,'] a 40-second loop of a recording made by Rios's sister Maria played through the headphones: she told him that she was there with him, that she loved him...
As the tape of his sister's voice played, several distinct clusters of neurons in Rios's brain had fired in a manner virtually identical to that of a healthy subject. Some clusters that became active were those known to help process spoken language, others to recall memories.
Was Rios recognizing his sister's voice, remembering her? "You couldn't tell the difference between these parts of his brain and the brain of one of my graduate students," says Hirsch, an expert in brain imaging at Columbia University.
Asking St. Jude's help, here:
Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you, universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Please pray for Terry, she is so helpless and alone. Please make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Please come to her assistance in these great needs, that she may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all her necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly let her continue to be fed, to live, and to have visits from her priest and family. And I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of these great favors, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
Lord God Almighty, we know that you hold us in Your hands, and that the very hairs on our head are numbered...We beg You to spare Terri for her family's love...we beg You to intervene for her and change the hearts of the authorities who stand in judgement, please remind them that they too may be helpless someday...Lord God, we pray for her deliverance from this sentence of death, please...free her from her husband who no longer loves her, free her from the dreadful system that would cruelly kill her by depriving her of water and food...Lord God, we beg in the name of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.
You are so right-on, T'wit. This is what Iv'e thought all along. Florida knows it has an aging population. They want the money, but not us. As a person nearing retirement, I can tell you, nobody has any patience whatsoever with the aging. Just listen to our young..."Old fashioned," "one foot in the grave, and another on a bannana peel, and "not in the know." (like bringing up the Ten Commandments, or taking the time to actually read contracts before signing due to a great deal of expeierence, and not senility. Warning about sin, debt, prodigality, etc.)
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm changing my will today to read that if any of my heirs has any part whatsoever in "pulling my plug" they get---nothing, nada, zilch. They're also going to have to pay the estate back for any and all loans before they can interit anything. All these idiots posting that they'd not want to live like Terri, are cowardly wimps with no rage to live.
I agree. And since she is using Medicade that should be prosecuted since MS is not without assets.
Please email this to Neal Boortz, who is yammering on and on about Terri being a vegetable. Pull the plug, he decrees!
I'll take Savage over this pompous a$$ any day of the week!
Gee - what an interesting point.
Florida has a HUGE retirement population and it is to Florida's interest to be able to "pull the plug" on those "inconvenient" and to absorb their assets if no relatives found.
I had not thought of this - but it sure does explain the death culture rife through the courts. Of course, they mean death to those they determine unfit - not them.
Keep us abreast of any new information you get from the governors office.
Part of the problem is the terminology. When I use the term "vegetative," I mean "comparable to a vegetable." It is my understanding that vegetables are not sentient; they do not feel pain. Therefore, if a person is capable of feeling pain, I would not consider him to be in a vegetative state.
If the medical community is not 100% sure that a person cannot feel pain, it should not refer to his state as vegetative. :-)
Entire article is available at this URL: http://www.msu.edu/course/hm/546/nyt_pvs.htm
Only an ass could believe, after reading it, that patients in a "vegetative state" are "unthinking" or "unfeeling."
Bu then, maybe Mr. Boortz is an unthinking and unfeeling ass. We don't get his program in our area, so I've only heard him occasionally on Hannity's show.
The problem with the medical community is that they are very, very often WRONG. No matter how "100% sure" they claim to be.
In the Schiavo case, there actually are differing medical opinions. The judge, for his own personal reasons perhaps, has chosen to give credence only to doctors who side with Michael Schiavo.
I think the article I quoted (you can read the whole piece by clicking on the link in post 35) proves that there IS "something going on there" -- in the brains of persons in a "vegetative state."
They may not be able to show what they are feeling -- but they ARE feeling.
Always follow the money, ClancyJ. Maybe why FL has such a culture of death. There are probably thousands of retirees with no heirs. Then there is the nursing home problem. TX pays about 3,000 dollars a month per patient for nursing home care. No one wants parents to have to sell and use their estate for that bill, so they have the parent give them the estate beforehand, so the patient can claim destitution. They tightened up the law somewhat by not allowing such transfers of wealth to occur less than three years before such nursing home indigents make such claims, but I'd say it' not working. Most of the cases I know of can get by for a three year wait. Frankly, I don't think the old and indigent have a prayer.
It appears that the government penalizes the people who try to have something. My grandfather at age 84 needed help. He was told he had to sign his home over to them. His brother, an alcholic, who never owned a pot or a window was in bad health too. The government furnished his brother with a place to stay, and a nurse to boot..cost him nothing
My grandfather didn't sign his home over to the government. We, the family took care of gramps, he was a wonderful person and I miss him.
A fine young receptionist there has passed the information on to Mr. DePietre, Jeb Bush's spokesman, she assures me he will get back to me. I also passed a copy of my email to David Gibbs, the attorney for the Schindlers.
I think we would be wise to never use the term "vegetable" to refer to human beings. First, no vegetables ever have souls - all humans do, regardless of their physical condition. Second, use of the term implies a less-than-human existence in which those who hate life are quick to glob on to in order to legitimize the murder of such persons.
Point taken.
But, if my earthen vessel (body) should ever become truly vegetative, I couldn't care less. Feel free to refer to it that way. By definition, there won't be any life remaining in it for anyone to hate, because my soul will have already left the scene. Life-haters, "glob" away! ;O)
Do note that when I said "truly vegetative" I meant without a soul.
I take it you believe it is improper for a Christian to have a "living will" which precludes the use of a respirator. Of course, none of our artificial means can prevent the sovereign God from taking a soul to heaven. Whether that means (1) we're obligated to keep the body living by any and all means at our disposal and/or (2) God will stop the heart from beating at the moment when He takes the soul, would seem to be open to debate. I certainly don't claim to have the answers.
I am not necessarily opposed to a living will - though I think, without a special document, it is much more likely that a person will be killed against their better judement than "forced to live" against their better judgement. I say better judgement because people may often say "I wouldn't want to live that way" not knowing how little suffering being on a respirator takes place and how often people survive after being put on a respirator. There is vast ignorance in the public about end-of-death situations.
There is also a "will to live" document available. The best approach for most people who don't want to be starved to death is to appoint someone you trust as your legal guardian (of course, this as in the Schiavo case could be fraught with difficulties).
bah-bull-thumpers scare me.
Bible-haters ought to scare themselves.

We always look forward to trying new wineries especially those that seem to have making quality wines at the top of the agenda. These days we frequently encounter the "events first" philosophy in which hosting weddings and parties seem to trump making wine. At Chestnut Oak Vineyard, we encountered a tasting room still in construction but good wines already in the bottle.
Chestnut Oak opened to the public six weeks ago. Tyler, our wine educator and assistant to winemaker David Eiserman, conducted our tasting; I must admit that I was impressed with his passion for the wines at Chestnut Oak. Premier winemaker Michael Shaps made the current wine offering; however, the 2014 vintages will feature estate grown grapes crafted by Eiserman. The tasting began with a very fruity 2010 Rose that was a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Manseng. At 1% residual sugar, it was a pleasing sipper. Three vintages of Petit Manseng were next on tap, and these included pours from 2009, 2011, and 2012. These were all quite distinctive growing seasons with 2011 proving to be the trickiest of the three. After all is was the year that Hurricane Irene came calling with howling winds and tons of rain right at harvest time. So call me weird, but the 2011 Petit Manseng was my favorite of the bunch with the 2012 a close second. The 2011 vintage presented a delicate fruity nose with tropical fruit notes and a pleasant acidity; in the end, I found it to be the most balanced wine of the trio.
The red wines included the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, and this provided yet another contrast in growing seasons. The 2009 growing season proved to be a classic Virginia summer with average rainfall, warm days, and muggy nights. The 2010 season was a blockbuster for red wines; it was hot and dry with California-like conditions for all of the summer. The 2009 vintage was the lighter-bodied of the two with tobacco and sandalwood notes and a cherry palate that lingered for a while in the mouth. It contrasted with the bolder 2010 vintage with its dark fruit elements, tobacco notes, and chewier tannins. Paul favored the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon; I gave a nod to the more complex 2010 vintage.
Of course, as we asked Tyler lots of questions as we sipped and savored. Current case production is about 90 cases per varietal. The 2014 vintages created by Eiserman will continue to showcase Petit Manseng and Cabernet Sauvignon; however, other varietals grown on the estate include Nebbiolo, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and the state grape, Viognier. The goal is to create limited production wines that best feature the terrior on the Chestnut Oak estate.
During our chat, Paul and I admired the murals that lined the interior walls of a tasting room that is still in the finishing stages. We sense a bright future for Chestnut Oak Vineyard and know that we will return soon. Plan a visit to this up and coming winery, and mention to Tyler that Virginia Wine Time sent you!

This is simply a post to get everyones opinion on a trade that was made and if you would veto vote it in your league. Just curious.
Team A gets:
Hanley Ramirez
Team B gets:
Alfonso Soriano
Tim Hudson
10 team 7x7.
No doubt. Veto that in a heartbeat.
Veto, the trade is lopsided in favor of Team B.
Ramirez for Soriano OR Hudson = Fine.
Ramirez for both = Veto.
Even if there is no collusion between the owners, you've got to protect the integrity of the league.
This is how I figured most everyone would respond. I'm the commish of this league but it's a league vote veto policy so we'll see if everyone in the league votes or not.
I hate vetoes.
In fantasy, there should be no veto, becuase it is impossible to gauge value.
On paper, that looks awful. In reality, the dude giving up Tim Hudson may already have 4 or 5 starting pitchers and doesn't need Hudson's points.
He also may have a terrible fantasy shortstop.
The whole purpose of trades isn't for them necessarily to be even, it's to make your team better.
If both people do that, then it's a good deal.
David Ortiz for John Maine sounds like an awful deal, but if the guy trading Oritz has Hafner as a DH option as well, it isn't that bad.
Or, this guy may think that Tim Hudson will regress to the mean - he is going to- and become, well, Tim Hudson again, so he dumps him off.
We never know what the future might hold, either. We had a guy trade BJ Ryan for Barry Bonds at the beginning of the year, and all of a sudden that deal looks sweet for the guy who has Bonds. In April, we were slapping the guy's back who got Ryan.
And, if somebody wants to get ripped off, then let them get ripped off. In your system, those other owners get to veto a deal they were too lazy to put together.
I don't play in leagues with trade vetoes because the very reason you want to prevent trades- unfair deals- also lends itself to the voting process: unfair votes from owners who are jealous or who don't want another team to get better (especially division rivals if your league uses divisions).
There are always going to be deals that are awful- that's part of the game. But I'd rather haver that than 12 people deciding something for my team that I put together.
The problem occurs when one owner rips off another in such a lopsided manner that it changes the balance of power in the league. Then you've got 8 guys playing out the string because one owner is stupid and another owner ripped him off.
don't you think the Kearns trade would have been vetoed if it were in a fantasy league?
Again, what is ripping someone off? Does the guy giving up more have more on his bench to replace what he gave up? How do you gauge valuie in a 10 team mixed league? Everybody is loaded, so it makes it easier to appear to get swindled.Quote:
The problem occurs when one owner rips off another in such a lopsided manner that it changes the balance of power in the league. Then you've got 8 guys playing out the string because one owner is stupid and another owner ripped him off.
I sent an offer the other day of Mark Teixiera and Scott Kazmir for Carl Crawford. My firends think I'm nuts, but I have a loaded bench right now with Frank Thomas and David Ortiz able to play first, so Teixiera is expendable.
If someone were to veto that deal, I'd be pretty upset.
If you are going to veto trades, why not just veto draft picks? If you're worried about the balance shifting, why not overrule a draft pick like taking Juan Pierre in the second round?
These leagues aren't set up to be balanced. There will always be some stupid owner, and part of the game is to find that guy and get the best of him.
If you have someone in your league who gets ripped off easily, the answer to me is to not invite them back rather than havining everybody babysit people. Especially owners with something to gain.
Teixiera and Kazmir for Crawford shouldn't get vetoed, especially if you gave the other owners your rationale. Again, when trades help both teams, it's usually pretty apparent.
However, if you needed a catcher and offered Teixiera and Kazmir for, say, Kenji Jojima, I would veto that deal.
I agree that vetoing is dumb.... I think its just there for completely ridiculous deals where they are probably cheating
trades should never be vetoed, unless there is collusion...the people vetoeing are just mad that they didn't make the trade...if every trade was fair there would be no need to have trades, and if every "name" player couldn't be traded for a guy doing better there would be no point to even draft

PSE says work will improve power reliability
"Photo: Tree trimmers working for Asplundh Tree Removal work near electrical lines on Cultus Bay Road to remove overhanging tree branches. Their work is part of Puget Sound Energy's Tree Watch program.Matt Johnson / staff photoTree Watch infoFor more information about the Tree Watch program, call PSE at 888-225-5773, select option 4, then enter the Tree Watch, six-digit extension, 89-5148.Orange is the color of doom for trees on South Whidbey.For the past few weeks, orange dots of spray paint have been appearing on trees near roadsides. Painted by tree removal contractors hired by Puget Sound Energy, the dots are the first step in a program designed to reduce tree-related power outages. Throughout the coming spring, tree cutters working for PSE will remove hazard trees from roadsides where they could take down power lines if they fall.For the cost of $10,000 per mile, PSE officials say their Tree Watch program could prevent dozens of outages on South Whidbey every year. A local environmentalist group, on the other hand, is not in favor of a program that will take down acres of trees -- albeit spread out along miles of roadsides.I think if they don't begin the process of undergrounding lines, the problem will go on forever, said Steve Erickson, of the Whidbey Environmental Action Network.But, according to Beth Rogers, PSE's director of the Tree Watch program, the solution to the problem will not go on forever. There is no question, she said, that trees are a real problem wherever a utility runs overhead electric lines. On average, PSE experiences about 2,400 power outages per year regionally due to tree or branch fall, said Rogers. Two-thirds of the trees that fall into lines are on private property, which means the company cannot just trim or remove them at will, as they can with trees in their right-of way. The Tree Watch program addresses that problem, allowing the utility to negotiate tree removal on private land. To date, negotiating has worked, and this week crews with Asplundh Tree Removal began trimming and cutting along Cultus Bay Road.We've had very good results so far, Rogers said.If negotiation does not work, Rogers said PSE will flex a little muscle to convince a property owner to cut a tree. However, she acknowledges that PSE will back down on some cutting if a property owner is particularly adamant about keeping his or her trees. But she encourages even the reluctant to hear her company's case.We try to convince them of the hazards of the tree, she said.When PSE finishes cutting in mid 2003, the company expects to see about 1,600 fewer tree-related power outages in its entire system.We feel we can get really good outage prevention results, said Rogers.The work is costing the company more than $10,000 a mile on South Whidbey. But, Rogers said, this is a bargain price compared to the cost of burying lines or installing tree wire. Undergrounding starts at $500,000 a mile, Rogers said, while tree wire runs the company $93,000 per mile.Rogers said tree cutting and trimming will reduce outages the most for the least amount of money.Targeted are trees leaning toward lines, diseased trees, and trees with multiple tops. Driving along Cultus Bay Road, Bailey Road, and Scatchet Head Road, it is easy to see that among all the roadside tree species, alders are going to take the biggest hit. Rogers said Asplundh crews have been instructed to avoid cutting conifers if at all possible.At the corner of Swede Hill Road and Scatchet Head Road, more than 20 trees are marked to come down near and on Ron and Sally McBride's property. As per PSE policy, tree cutters will leave the downed trees in manageable lengths for the McBrides to use as firewood. Rogers said cutting crews will leave cut trees almost any condition a land owner requests. Ron McBride said he has no problem with the tree cutting, as it will reduce outages at his home.In fact, I'm happy to see some of them come down, he said.WEAN's Erickson said he hopes the cutting is not the start of a wider cutting program. As one row of trees is cut, the next becomes a hazard, he said, which could lead to more rounds of cutting and an even more fragmented forest ecology on Whidbey Island.The right of way will get wider and wider as time goes on. Over time, it will get to be huge, he said."

It's been a while since I shared thoughts on my planned genome quilt so I thought I'd update you with where I am with it at the moment; I am deep in the land of indecision.
5 Comments
So how much piecing do you want to do? It looks like you've got approximately 40 by 60 blocks there. A 2 inch finished quilt with the squares you have is an 80 by 120 quilt. How big are you making the quilt? Do you want to stop the genome somewhere in the middle of your sequence? Are you going to add borders?
I would agree that larger than three would give you too little "overall" design, and that way you'd have only about half of the sqauares you have in the digram for a normal sized quilt. How much do you want to sit and figure out?
I just saw the numbers of blocks you posted. Doh. Well, I've never made a quilt with 1950 pieces before, seems daunting. What about a practice swatch of like 10 blocks by 5 blocks in colors you don't really care about and then you can see if you like all the effort in sewing everything down. Then you could have a nice table runner or something and you could get a feeling for the scope of your project.↓
Gasp!! What an incredible project.
It will be amazing in the end.
How are you quilting it? Tiny blocks means loads of seams. That may influence your decision.
Good luck!
Wow, that's going to be a truly awesome quilt!
If you did 3" blocks, would you use the same layout or would some of it get dropped? If 3" means dropping blocks then I think I'd go with 2" ones because I think part of what makes this design stunning is the gradual colour transition, and I think it would loose a bit if there were fewer blocks.
I think the advice about doing some test blocks is a good idea. It'll give you a good idea about whether you'd enjoy the small blocks. Oh and Andi's comment about the seams is very valid. I made a HST quilt recently and didn't think about the seams and the points where all the triangles meet are really bulky and totally not quiltable.
HTH and good luck!↓
I am working on a double nine patch quilt and to me, that is daunting with the one inch squares- but WOW! You are brave!!!!
🙂 I can't wait to see how you manage it- but I agree that I would do a sample first to see if you like it!!!
Best Wishes!↓

Magneto-mechanical impedance of metallic structures125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3040021View Description Hide Description
Impedance measurements with a magneto-elastic active sensor are explored for inferring the magneto-mechanical impedance (MMI) of a metallic structure. It is shown that the MMI contains electrical response of the sensor and both electrical and mechanical structural responses. An analytical model is suggested that accounts for electrical characteristics of the sensor, sensor/structure electromagnetic interaction, and multimodal structural dynamic behavior. The model is validated with a set of MMI experiments demonstrating feasibility of deducing structural natural frequencies and structural vibration modes.
Modulation frequency features for phoneme recognition in noisy speech125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3040022View Description Hide Description
In this letter, a new feature extraction technique based on modulation spectrum derived from syllable-length segments of subband temporal envelopes is proposed. These subband envelopes are derived from autoregressive modeling of Hilbert envelopes of the signal in critical bands, processed by both a static (logarithmic) and a dynamic (adaptive loops) compression. These features are then used for machine recognition of phonemes in telephonespeech. Without degrading the performance in clean conditions, the proposed features show significant improvements compared to other state-of-the-art speech analysis techniques. In addition to the overall phoneme recognition rates, the performance with broad phonetic classes is reported.
Time-forward speech intelligibility in time-reversed rooms125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3040024View Description Hide Description
The effects of time-reversed room acoustics on word recognition abilities were examined using virtual auditory space techniques, which allowed for temporal manipulation of the room acoustics independent of the speech source signals. Two acoustical conditions were tested: one in which room acoustics were simulated in a realistic time-forward fashion and one in which the room acoustics were reversed in time, causing reverberation and acoustic reflections to precede the direct-path energy. Significant decreases in speech intelligibility—from 89% on average to less than 25%—were observed between the time-forward and time-reversed rooms. This result is not predictable using standard methods for estimating speech intelligibility based on the modulation transfer function of the room. It may instead be due to increased degradation of onset information in the speech signals when room acoustics are time-reversed.
Sequential effects on the detectability of a tone added to a multitone masker125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3040027View Description Hide Description
The detectability of a tone added to a masker is superior when the detection trial is preceded by the masker than the signal-plus-masker. This auditory enhancement can withstand long temporal gaps between the precursor and the trial, suggesting that for yes/no trials sensitivity may depend on the stimulus presented in the prior trial. The results from an experiment examining the detectability of a tone added to 6-tone maskers confirmed sequential effects on sensitivity. The values of were higher when the prior trial was a no-signal (masker alone) trial compared to a signal (signal-plus-masker) trial.
Speaking up: Killer whales (Orcinus orca) increase their call amplitude in response to vessel noise125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3040028View Description Hide Description
This study investigated the effects of anthropogenic sound exposure on the vocal behavior of free-ranging killer whales. Endangered Southern Resident killer whales inhabit areas including the urban coastal waters of Puget Sound near Seattle, WA, where anthropogenic sounds are ubiquitous, particularly those from motorized vessels. A calibrated recording system was used to measure killer whale call source levels and background noise levels . Results show that whales increased their call amplitude by for every increase in background noise levels. Furthermore, nearby vessel counts were positively correlated with these observed background noise levels.
Threshold fine structure affects amplitude modulation perception125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3040031View Description Hide Description
Modulation detection thresholds of a sinusoidally amplitude-modulated tone were measured for two different positions of the low-level carrier relative to the fine structure of the threshold in quiet. Modulation detection thresholds were higher for a carrier at a fine-structure minimum than for a carrier at a fine-structure maximum, regardless of whether the carriers had the same sound pressure level or the same sensation level. This indicates that even for small variations of the carrier frequency, the sensitivity to amplitude modulation can vary substantially due to the frequency characteristics of the threshold in quiet.
Monitoring progressive damage in polymer-based composite using nonlinear dynamics and acoustic emission125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2993755View Description Hide Description
In this work quantitative results of applying nonlinear acoustic dynamics to study progressive damage in a polymer-based composite SMC (sheet molding compound) are presented. Via carefully controlled resonant plate experiment, nonlinear slow dynamics (SNLD) response of SMC in terms of relaxation time and frequency shift has been shown to be very sensitive to gradual damage induced using three-point bending tests. Besides, acoustic emission monitoring is used to characterize damage through the elastic energy released by SMC at every damage step. Interesting logarithmlike changes of the SNLD parameters as a function of the acoustic emission cumulated energy are found.
Observations of low-frequency temporal and spatial coherence in shallow water125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2965550View Description Hide Description
Measurements of temporal and spatial coherence are most always confounded by the presence of multipath interference. Here, two sets of data are presented that allow separation of arrivals from individual propagating modes and then unambiguous computations of temporal and spatial coherence free of multipath effects. A consistent finding for surface reflected bottom reflected (SRBR) modes is that lower order mode are more coherent in both time and space than higher order (steeper) modes. Also, SRBR paths are much more coherent than refracted bottom reflected mode groups that cannot be separated in time and are affected by multi-mode interference.

Sound scattering from two concentric fluid spheres125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3035901View Description Hide Description
The solution to the problem of plane wave and point source scattering by two concentric fluid spheres is derived. The effect of differences in sound speed, density, and absorption coefficient is taken into account. The scattered field is then found in the limit as the outer sphere becomes an infinitely thin shell and compared to the solution for a single fluid sphere for verification. A simulation is then performed using the concentric fluid sphere solution as an approximation to the human head and compared to the solution of a single fluid sphere with the properties of either bone or water. The solutions were found to be similar outside of the spheres but differ significantly inside the spheres.
Toward the acoustical characterization of asphalt pavements: Analysis of the tire/road sound from a porous surface125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3025911View Description Hide Description
Sound level in close proximity to the contact patch of the tire and road is analyzed as a function of the vehicle speed in the acoustic frequency range, showing different behavior depending on frequency. At least two regions are observed; one at low frequencies, where the variation in sound with speed (coefficient ) increases with frequency, and the other at higher frequencies, where such sound/speed variation does not increase significantly with frequency. The dependence of at low frequencies seems to be correlated with the high sound absorption of this porous surface.
Feasibility of global-scale synthetic aperture communications125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3035830View Description Hide Description
A recent paper [Higley et al. , J. Acoust. Soc. Am.118, 2365–2372 (Year: 2005)] investigated synthetic aperture communications in shallow water exploiting the relative motion between a source and a receiver. This letter presents a feasibility study of synthetic aperture communications at global distances using the acoustic data from the Heard Island Feasibility Test conducted in January 1991 [Baggeroer and Munk, Phys. Today45, 22–30 (Year: 1992)]. Specifically, a reception at Ascension Island, about from the source ship moving at about near Heard Island, is analyzed by treating the 255-digit -sequence tomography signal as a binary-phase shift-keying communication signal with an information rate of . The performance using a single receiver combining three consecutive receptions spaced apart indicates that synthetic aperture acoustic communications is feasible at global distances.
Comment on "Measuring power production in the mammalian cochlea" [Curr. Biol.17, 1340 (2007)]125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2950090View Description Hide Description
Recently, a paper by Lakashkin et al. (2007) ("Power amplification in the mammalian cochlea," Curr. Biol.17, 1340–1344) was published on how power can be measured in the mammalian cochlea. The general subject is of current widespread interest, so the question of whether the method used by Lakashkin et al. is valid may be of interest to the readers of this journal. Power generation in the cochlea can account for the extraordinary sensitivity of hearing. Lukashkin et al. claimed to provide a direct proof of cochlear power generation. A first-order spring-dashpot system was used to model the organ of Corti. The power flux direction can be derived from the sign of the phase difference between the force and displacement, which can be presented as a "hysteresis plot." Basilar membrane (BM) vibration near the characteristic frequency (CF) was measured while applying a low-frequency modulation tone together with the CF tone. A force was derived from the modulation profile of the BM CF vibration and when plotted versus the displacement at the modulation frequency, the function had a counterclockwise direction of hysteresis, suggesting power generation. In this letter, we present comments on the analysis in the report: (1) that it is not appropriate to analyze at the modulation frequency to derive the power generation at CF; (2) that the derivation of a force from just the displacement profile is not justified, followed by an alternative interpretation of the experimental data.
Reduced contribution of a nonsimultaneous mistuned harmonic to residue pitch: The role of harmonic number125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3026327View Description Hide Description
Listeners adjusted a matching sound so that its pitch equaled that of a subsequent complex tone (12 harmonics of a ), whose mistuned harmonic was presented either simultaneously with or after the other harmonics. The third or the fourth harmonic was mistuned. For both harmonics, pitch shifts were significantly smaller when the mistuned harmonic was presented after rather than simultaneously with the remainder of the target complex and when the component corresponding to the mistuned harmonic was absent (as opposed to present) from the matching sound. Presenting the mistuned component after the remainder of the complex generally reduced the pitch shifts more for the third than for the fourth harmonic; the nonsimultaneous presentation reduced shifts by a factor of 2.8 (third) and 1.7 (fourth) in the presence, and 6.4 (third) and 1.9 (fourth) in the absence of the nominally mistuned harmonic from the matching sound. The results are discussed in terms of an analytical listening and matching strategy that results in larger pitch shifts for a nonsimultaneous mistuned harmonic that has an octave or double-octave relationship to the than for one that does not, without it necessarily being temporally integrated into the residue pitch of the complex.
Identification of synthetic vowels based on selected vocal tract area functions125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3033740View Description Hide Description
The purpose of this study was to determine the degree to which synthetic vowel samples based on previously reported vocal tract area functions of eight speakers could be accurately identified by listeners. Vowels were synthesized with a wave-reflection type of vocal tract model coupled to a voice source. A particular vowel was generated by specifying an area function that had been derived from previous magnetic resonance imaging based measurements. The vowel samples were presented to ten listeners in a forced choice paradigm in which they were asked to identify the vowel. Results indicated that the vowels [i], [æ], and [u] were identified most accurately for all of speakers. The identification errors of the other vowels were typically due to confusions with adjacent vowels.
An analysis of the masking of speech by competing speech using self-report data125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3025915View Description Hide Description
Many of the items in the "Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing" scale questionnaire [S. Gatehouse and W. Noble, Int. J. Audiol.43, 85–99 (2004)] are concerned with speech understanding in a variety of backgrounds, both speech and nonspeech. To study if this self-report data reflected informational masking, previously collected data on 414 people were analyzed. The lowest scores (greatest difficulties) were found for the two items in which there were two speech targets, with successively higher scores for competing speech (six items), energetic masking (one item), and no masking (three items). The results suggest significant masking by competing speech in everyday listening situations.
Abnormal processing of temporal fine structure in speech for frequencies where absolute thresholds are normal125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2939125View Description Hide Description
The identification of nonsense syllables that were lowpass filtered at was compared for subjects with normal hearing and subjects with mild-to-severe hearing loss at high frequencies but with normal or near-normal hearing at low frequencies. Absolute thresholds were mostly within the normal range (hearing level) for both groups for frequencies below . Performance was assessed with intact speech,speech that had been processed to preserve only temporal envelope cues in a few frequency bands (E speech), and speech that had been processed to remove envelope cues as far as possible while preserving temporal fine structure cues, again in a few frequency bands (TFS speech). For the intact speech and E speech, the hearing-impaired subjects performed slightly more poorly than the normal-hearing subjects, but this effect was significant only for the intact speech. For the TFS speech, the hearing-impaired subjects performed significantly more poorly than the normal-hearing subjects, with 12 out of 16 of the former performing at chance. The results indicate that, for people with hearing loss at medium to high frequencies, the processing of the TFS of speech can be degraded for frequencies where absolute thresholds are within the normal range.

Sound transmission loss of rectangular and slit-shaped apertures: Experimental results and correlation with a modal model125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3003084View Description Hide Description
Among noise control techniques, enclosures are widely used. It is known that enclosure acoustic efficiency is strongly influenced by the presence of openings or leaks. Modeling of diffuse field sound transmission loss (TL) of apertures and slits is therefore critical when the enclosure acoustic performance characteristics need to be predicted with confidence either for design or for modifying existing enclosures. Recently, a general model for diffuse field sound TL of rectangular and circular apertures has been developed and validated with respect to existing analytical or numerical models. This paper presents an experimental validation of this new model. The aim was to develop a simple, reliable tool for predicting enclosure insertion loss using statistical energy analysis. Twelve out of the 15 test configurations were found to be reliable and were compared with theoretical models, which in fact correlate closely (without adjustment) with the experimental work.
-matrix methods in acoustic scattering125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3035839View Description Hide Description
Some further refinements are described for the -matrix approach to acoustic scattering. From the structure of the matrices involved, one can infer the Rayleigh limit explicitly for objects having no density contrast. One finds , where the -matrix involves integrals of the regular spherical wave functions over the object's surface. The index of refraction and loss factor can be chosen as desired, and energy balance and reciprocity requirements are found to be met. The derivation can be extended to obtain the Rayleigh expansion, effectively describing as a series in ascending powers of the ratio of object size to wavelength. In trial cases, the series converges throughout the Rayleigh region and somewhat beyond. Bodies of high aspect ratio are also considered, where difficulties arise due to precision loss during numerical integration. Loss ranges from 4 or 5 significant figures (2:1 spheroid) to 22 figures (40:1 spheroid) or more. A class of surfaces has been found for which this problem can be avoided, however, enabling one to treat a variety of body shapes up to aspect ratios of 100:1 with no difficulty.

Three-dimensional propagation and scattering around a conical seamount125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3025903View Description Hide Description
A three-dimensional (3D) propagation and scatteringmodel is developed for an offset acoustic source in an ocean with axisymmetric bathymetry. Based on the same theoretical foundation as the formulation presented by Taroudakis [M. I. Taroudakis, "A coupled-mode formulation for the solution in the presence of a conical sea-mount," J. Comput. Acoust.4, 101–121 (1996)], the present approach combines a spectral decomposition in azimuth with a coupled-mode theory for two-way, range-dependent propagation. However, the earlier formulations were severely limited in terms of frequency, size, and geometry of the seamount, the seabed composition, and the distance between the source and the seamount, and were therefore severely limited in regard to realistic seamount problems. Without changing the fundamental theoretical foundation, the present approach applies a number of modifications to the numerical formulation, leading to orders of magnitude in numerical efficiency for realistic problems. Further, by using a standard normal modemodel for determining the fundamental modal solutions and coupling matrices, and by applying a simple superposition principle, the computational requirements are made independent of the distance between the seamount and the source and receivers, and dependent only on the geometry of the seamount and the source frequency. Therefore, realistic propagation and scattering scenarios can be modeled, including effects of seamount roughness and realistic sedimentary structure.

Oak Creek - A woman was arrested for providing escort services without a license and possession of drug paraphernalia after police discovered what she said was a massage business April 24.
According to the Oak Creek police report:
Officers and K9 Officer Bronco responded to the Candlewood Suites, 6440 S. 13th St., after an employee called to report drug use and prostitution in a room about 3:30 p.m. April 24.
Officers found the woman had a massage table set up in her room, and there was a man present.
Officers questioned the woman about the table, and she told police she charges $80 to give massages in the room at the hotel.
She also stated that some of the subjects ask for sexual favors, but she only charges for the massage and never does any sexual favors for her clients.
The canine officer searched the room, revealing that the woman also had several needles, glass pipes used to smoke crack cocaine and some plastic bags with white residue concealed inside a makeup kit and bag located underneath a sink.

Five days after an F2 tornado tore through the city of La Crosse's south side, first-year students in Southeast Technical's radiography program and instructor Robert Raasch partnered with Catholic Charities to help an apartment resident clean and vacate her unit, which was damaged by the storm. Damage from the tornado was severe enough that many buildings in the city were deemed unsafe; some were even torn down.
The group viewed their work as an extension of the Southeast Technical mission, which emphasizes not only providing high-quality instruction in the classroom, but also expanding classroom boundaries to real-world learning environments. "Even though this service had nothing to do with the technical aspects of radiography, we all still learned some very important life lessons. We can and do make a difference," Raasch reflected.

Avatar Darko is back with a vengeance for the second installment of his Soviet Goonion series. Pushing the boundaries of its predecessor, the record is full of his unapologetic depiction of vampy women, illicit drugs, and recklessly thuggish way of life. Balancing out the ignorance, the introspection at the end exemplifies a candid ability to express humility and capture the rare emotion missing in a lot of today's rappers. Throughout the project, there is an exotic flair to the sounds, with his 15 year old Ukrainian protege Dirtbag Dexter providing most of the beats in addition to Taylor Gang's Sledgren & Cardo, V Don, and Billionaire Boyscout. Features are minimal, but include Nacho Picasso, Thurz, Kris Kasanova, and Jarell Perry. Once again, Avatar has teamed up with visual assassin/streetwear pioneer Ruslan Karablin of SSUR and Caviar Cartel for the exclusive hand drawn artwork depicting the Russian lifestyle and lavishly dangerous attitude embellished in the culture.
