All languages are unique. As Spanish is a Romance language, familiarity with Latin or Italian will make Spanish easier to learn. In many parts of the world, Spanish is a very useful second language because of so many native Spanish-speakers close by.

Sandy Fielden, RBN Energy LLC
In June 2012 Bakken oil production reached 660 Mb/d with 0.7 Bcf/d of associated natural gas. A third of that associated gas (32% or 0.22 Bcf/d) was flared at the wellhead. There are sound environmental and economic reasons why flaring occurs. In other States like Texas the percentage of flaring is tiny (0.5%). The answer to flaring is better infrastructure but huge investments in North Dakota could still not be enough to eliminate flaring. Today we shed new light on the issue.
What is flaring? Flaring occurs when the natural gas produced from an oil and/or gas well is captured and burned (we will get to why it's burned next). There are a couple of broad categories of flaring. The first category is a limited activity carried out by producers during well completion. In this case, the producer captures gas that bubbles up the well casing that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere and then flares that gas separately. The second, more significant category consists of a continuous flaring process to burn the associated gas that comes to the surface with the oil once a well is producing. We are going to concentrate on the second category.
Why does flaring occur? There are two reasons that flaring occurs. The first is environmental. In any situation where gas would otherwise escape into the atmosphere (known as venting) it is better for the environment to flare that gas. Flaring is safer than venting because natural gas (methane) is 20 times more environmentally damaging (e.g. to ozone) if vented into the atmosphere than if it is flared first. The byproduct of flaring is CO2 – not tremendously good for the environment but a heck of a lot better than methane. So if you are going to get rid of methane, flaring is better than venting.
The second reason for flaring is economic. If you drill a well for oil and start production, you can capture the oil in tanks and transport it to market in trucks long before pipeline infrastructure is available. Oil is much easier to store and transport than gas. Any associated gas produced from the well is not feasible to capture and transport to market until a gathering pipeline infrastructure is in place. The companies that invest in gas gathering pipelines and the gas processing infrastructure necessary to treat the natural gas before transporting it to market will only make such an investment once they know how much associated gas is being produced. The answer to that question is not easy to predict until oil production gets underway. So if you ban flaring (assuming that venting is verboten) then you would be banning oil production and you would never know if the associated gas could be recovered because you would not be drilling the well in the first place.
Flaring is therefore allowed (usually through a permit application to the State), in order to burn associated gas that has no route to market. This allows oil production to start, revenue to flow, taxes and fees to be paid, and gas volumes to be assessed by infrastructure companies.
How much flaring goes on? Almost all existing oil and gas wells will have required some flaring during completion as mentioned above in our first flaring category. New Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules introduced in April 2012 require new wells (starting in January 2015) to be completed using "green" techniques that capture any gas and store it for practical use instead of flaring it. These new rules do not deal with associated gas production but they do address flaring during well completion.
Flaring of associated gas produced from oil shale wells is a particular issue in the Bakken. North Dakota Industry Commission (NDIC) data indicate that about 32% of current natural gas production (out of the total production of 0.7 Bcf/d in June 2012) was flared (see North Dakota Chamber of Commerce presentation chart below). That percentage is not as high as it has been (36% in September 2011), but it is still huge compared to Texas, where the Texas Railroad Commission's last published natural gas production numbers for May 2012 put gas flaring at 0.49%. The extent and necessity of flaring depends on the basin characteristics (how much gas is produced) and also on the infrastructure in place. In the Bakken it's mostly related to infrastructure, or lack thereof.
Drilling in the Bakken has concentrated on oil, with natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) playing second fiddle. The more than 50 active operators in the Bakken have so far had to put up with significant transport constraints just to get their crude to market (see "The Bakken Buck Starts Here – Bakken Crude Pricing Part I, Part II and Part III"). Dealing with infrastructure for associated gas has been a secondary priority. In other plays such as the Eagle Ford and Permian basins in Texas, existing infrastructure was already somewhat in place to gather natural gas.
Bakken flaring occurs during the time lag between when an oil well starts producing and when gas gathering system infrastructure is installed. North Dakota State regulations allow flaring to occur during the first 12 months of production without penalty. After that, producers need to get an exemption for flaring that requires them to justify the "economic feasibility" of flaring based on the cost of connecting to the nearest gas pipeline being greater than the return they would get by selling the gas. If the exemption is not granted, then the producer has to pay royalties and taxes on the flared production.
When we previously covered Bakken gas production takeaway in "Border Wars – Will Bakken Producers Muscle Out Canadian Gas?" we learned that there is considerable natural gas takeaway capacity in North Dakota via the Northern Border and Alliance (wet gas) interstate pipelines and WBI Energy Transmission. These pipelines provide delivery access to Midwest markets such as Chicago. The issue with associated gas in the Bakken is therefore not pipeline takeaway capacity but rather with the gathering pipeline infrastructure and gas processing capacity required to get wellhead gas processed ready for shipping on the interstates.
To this end, natural gas and natural gas liquids midstream companies are investing heavily. According to the NDIC Pipeline Authority – to the tune of $4 billion (see graphic by North Dakota Pipeline Authority below). By the end of 2012 gas-processing capacity is expected to reach 0.9 Bcf/d and that should be greater than production (current production 0.7 Bcf/d). By the end of 2014 processing capacity will reach 1.3 Bcf/d. Gas plant capacity does not stop flaring on its own. The gathering infrastructure to deliver wellhead gas to the plants also needs to be in place. Challenges to building out gathering infrastructure in the Bakken include the large size of the production areas, freezing winter and spring working conditions, and workforce availability. However, Bakken natural gas is rich in NGLs, making it attractive to midstream companies because the liquids fetch a higher return than dry gas.
As the new gas-processing plants come on stream they should reduce the need for flaring. The recent BENTEK study for the North Dakota Pipeline Authority (you can get a copy here) reported that the gas to oil ratio of Bakken wells increases during the life of the wells, meaning that associated gas production will increase faster than oil. This is already happening and it means more gas is on the way. The BENTEK study concluded that once the currently planned new gas plant infrastructure is in place by the end of 2014, gas production will quickly outpace capacity again – meaning more new infrastructure is required or more flaring.
Once you accept the economic argument to invest in oil shale drilling, then some flaring is inevitable. At 32 percent of production, Bakken flaring levels leave the industry open to accusations of environmental damage or wasting resources. In the same way that concerns with hydraulic fracturing seem to refuse to go away, the issue of flaring is likely to remain on environmental agendas for as long as it happens on this scale. At this point in the development of Bakken oil production, the need for new gas infrastructure should be easier to predict than it was earlier on. Producers would be wise to plan ahead and find a home for expected associated gas. Otherwise, if Bakken gas flaring does not fade away, producers may be required by regulators to adopt solutions they find uneconomic to implement.
Not Fade Away was first recorded by Buddy Holly and The Crickets in May 1957 and subsequently covered by The Rolling Stones in 1964

The Nevada DMV unveiled a third generation of kiosks in February and March, 2012. New features included driver license and ID card renewals and duplicate licenses, instruction permits and ID cards.
The number of machines was also greatly expanded and they were placed in partnership locations in the Las Vegas and Reno communities. 14 new machines were installed in southern Nevada at UNLV, Albertsons stores and one convenience store. The Reno area received four new kiosks at UNR and Scolari's locations. The department began charging a processing fee for kiosk transactions to help cover the cost of the expansion.
The kiosks handle approximately 45,000 transactions per month. These are Nevada motorists who would otherwise be standing in line to be served by a department technician. Total kiosk transactions passed 1 million in November, 2008 and 2 million in March, 2011.
In 2008, the DMV installed second-generation machines, pictured on the left. New features on these kiosks included driver history printouts, payment by check and the ability to dispense coins as change. These machines remain in service at DMV offices and some partner locations. They offer the same services as the newer kiosks.
The original DMV kiosks, pictured on the right, debuted in the spring of 2004.
The Nevada DMV kiosk program has won six national awards.
In 2012, the kiosks took "Best of Show" honors in the Government Bill Pay category at the Customer Engagment Technology World conference in San Francisco.
In 2006, Director Ginny Lewis was named "Industry Deployer of the Year" and the kiosks were named "Best Kiosk Application for Government, Education or a Non-Profit Agency" at the 2006 KioskCom Self-Service Expo in Las Vegas.
Also in 2006, the kiosks also won the "Platinum Outstanding Achievement Award" and two other awards at Self Service World magazine's annual show in San Antonio, Texas.

"You don't have that problem anymore. It's a lot more fun to farm," Georgetti said, since he has been able to buy newer equipment that's bigger, faster and more fuel-efficient. The drilling hasn't caused any problems for the farm, he said.
Range spokesman Matt Pitzarella said the Oklahoma-based company has paid "well over" $1 billion to Pennsylvania landowners, with most of that coming since 2008.
One economist noted that the windfall payments from the natural gas boom are wonderful for individuals but that they represent just a tiny portion of total economic activity.
For example, the $1 billion for Pennsylvania landowners sounds like a lot, but "it's just not going to have a big impact on the overall vitality of the overall economy," said Robert Inman, a professor of economics and public policy at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton business school. "I think the issue is, what difference does it make for the individual families?"
Pennsylvania's total gross domestic product in 2011 was about $500 billion, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Inman noted that total gas industry hiring and investment can have a far bigger effect on a state or region, and companies have invested tens of billions of dollars just in Pennsylvania on pipelines, infrastructure and drilling in recent years.
For example, in North Dakota the shale oil and minerals boom contributed 2.8 percent of GDP growth to the entire state economy in 2011, according to Commerce Department data.
Another variable in how much royalty owners actually receive is the wholesale price of gas. That has dropped significantly over the past two years even as production has boomed in Pennsylvania and many other states. Average wholesale prices went from about $4.50 per unit of gas in 2010 to about $3 in 2012. For many leaseholders, that meant a decline in royalties.
The boom in natural gas royalties has even led to niche spinoff companies that look for lease heirs who don't even know they're owed money.
Michael Zwick is president of Assets International, a Michigan company that searches for missing heirs.
"It was an underserved niche," Zwick said of oil and gas leases. When a company can't find an heir to lease royalties, the money often goes to state unclaimed property funds.
Zwick said he has found a few dozen people whose gas lease money was being held in escrow, including one who was owed about $250,000 in drilling royalties. But the average amount, he said, is far lower.

ok so basically im trying to create a bar that stays on the bottom of the screen even when you scroll (like the chat bar for facebook). so i created my div element and i positioned it at the bottom of the screen and used the position:fixed on it. This all works fine in ff3 but when i test it in IE7 the bar just sits on the top of the screen and doesnt stay fixed it scrolls away. iv tryed googing the code but im not very good with html and didnt understand much of what they said. so i was just wondering if any of you knew any tricks for doing this (or maybe a javascript code that keeps it on the bottom is better).
I had a similar problem about a week ago and used this to fix it: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/fixedPosition.html

How is strep throat diagnosed?
Comment on this
Read 11 Comments
Throat cultureDuring the doctor's physical examination, a throat culture might be taken by touching a soft cotton swab (similar to a Q-tip) to the throat and tonsil areas. The swab is then sent to the laboratory for evaluation of strep or other bacteria. After 24-48 hours, the rapidly-growing strep bacteria can be identified if present in the sample. A throat culture is the gold standard in diagnosing strep throat infection. A culture for strep throat should not be done as a screening test in an individual who is experiencing no symptoms suggestive of strep throat. This is because bacteria may be present without causing an infection. A person may be a carrier of the bacteria but not infected. Rapid strep testRapid strep tests (also called the Rapid Antigen Detection Test or RADT) are available that can give results in minutes. A sample from the back of the throat or tonsils is taken using a swab similar to the sample for culture. Using a RADT kit, the doctor can determine within a few minutes if strep is the likely cause of sore throat. This test is less precise than throat cultures. Most RADT tests are approximately 95% accurate in diagnosing strep throat. This implies a "false negative" rate of 5%. In such circumstances the more definitive throat culture should be obtained. If your health care professional has a high suspicion for strep throat, both tests (RADT and throat culture) may be performed, and treatment should be started as soon as possible even if the rapid test is negative for strep while waiting for the definitive culture results. If the throat culture is negative for strep infection, then antibiotics should be stopped. Taking any "self prescribed" antibiotic prior to seeing the doctor should be avoided because even a single dose of antibiotic can interfere with the culture results and the health care practitioner's ability to correctly diagnose and treat the infection. Blood test for strep throat infectionStreptococcus infection can be detected by measuring the antibodies produced by the body against the bacteria. Two blood tests are most commonly used: (a) ASO titer (anti streptolysin O) and (b) anti DN-ase B titer. These antibodies may not be present in the blood for a few weeks after an infection, and therefore their measurement may not be accurate to detect an active or acute infection. ASO and anti-DN-ase B titers also may not be detectable if the person had been appropriately treated with antibiotics. These tests may be useful in detecting prior infections and evaluating a person with complications of strep throat infection such as rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis (see below).

First post here so I'll try and explain as indepth as possible.
Have been working with creating this online shop for a little while now and am not seeing the right code to use. The online shop uses Wordpress v3.3.1 with Catalyst Theme v1.5 and Shopp Plugin v1.2. Now what I've done is create a categories menu / sub-menu to the left which I require each menu to have a background image (201px wide) behind it without the list style square. So what I need is for the image to move left more so it is centred within the sidebar. I hope there is a solution, cause my brain just quit. Thanks in advance.

Wondering at those Americans who stand under the flag of Mojahedin Khalq (MKO, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult) only to LOBBY for the murderers of their servicemen
... Massoud Rajavi was on the stage and while he had his hands on his waist he began a war cry against the USA, and in his admiration for Osama Ben Laden and his organization, Al Qaeda, he said, "This was fanatical Islam which trembled and shacked the basis of US Imperialism and they destroyed the twin towers which were the symbol of their power, and successfully reduced it to rubble through their successful mission". Then he (Massoud Rajavi) with a smile on his face continued his war cry and said, "What will happen to the USA if revolutionary Islam with our Ideology and Maryam's leadership comes to power, then this paper tiger (the USA) will be destroyed as a whole." ...

Matt Duss, Think Progress, December 24, 2010
The Washington Post reports that four prominent Republicans — former New York mayor Rudy Guiliani, former Bush administration homeland security adviser Fran Townsend, former homeland security secretary Tom Ridge, and former Attorney General Michael Mukasey — told "a forum of cheering Iranian exiles" in Paris "that President Obama's policy toward Iran amounts to futile appeasement that will never persuade Tehran to abandon its nuclear projects."
The four "demanded that Obama instead take the controversial Mujaheddin-e Khalq (MEK) opposition group off the U.S. list of foreign terrorist organizations and incorporate it into efforts to overturn the mullah-led government in Tehran":
"Appeasement of dictators leads to war, destruction and the loss of human lives," Giuliani declared. "For your organization to be described as a terrorist organization is just really a disgrace."
The four GOP figures appeared at a rally organized by the French Committee for a Democratic Iran, a pressure group formed to support MEK.
It should be obvious that describing Obama's Iran policy — which includes a new set of both multilateral and unilateral sanctions — as "appeasement" indicates either a misunderstanding of the policy, or a misunderstanding of what constitutes "appeasement." (Though, to be fair, conservatives tend to use "appeasement" loosely as a general term for "foreign policy I don't like.")
As for the MEK, after the GOP's victory in November I predicted that we'd be seeing more efforts by pro-war conservatives to set the group up as an Iranian version of Ahmad Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress. Very much like the INC, the MEK has no genuine base of support in their own country — its real base is found among American neoconservatives.
Daniel Luban profiled the MEK last November:
Founded as a militant group with an ideology combining aspects of Islam and Marxism, the group is frequently described today as "cult-like," built around a personality cult centered on leader Maryam Rajavi. [...]
The group's hatred of the Islamic Republic led it to ally with Saddam Hussein, and it fought on the Iraqi side of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. Following the Gulf War, "the group reportedly assisted in the Iraqi Republican Guard's bloody crackdown on Iraqi Shia and Kurds who rose up against Saddam Hussein's regime; press reports cite MEK leader Maryam Rajavi encouraging MEK members to 'take the Kurds under your tanks,'" according to the State Department. The group's alliance with Saddam made it widely despised among the Iranian community at large, as it remains to this day
Luban notes that the MEK's "militant anti-Iranian stance has made it a favorite of hawks in Washington":
The MEK's neoconservative supporters continue to push for it to be taken off the State Department terror list, which it has been on since 1997. One of the many ironies about the MEK is that, for all the groundless allegations that hawks made about Saddam Hussein's connections to terrorist groups during the runup to the Iraq war, the terrorist group with perhaps the closest links to Saddam was one that the hawks themselves supported.
Human Rights Watch also released a report in 2005 detailing the group's record of subjecting dissident members to torture and solitary confinement.
Leaving aside the spectacle of prominent conservatives going abroad to criticize the administration's foreign policy on behalf of an Iranian exile group largely despised by Iranians, there's actually a real question here of whether Giuliani, Townsend, Ridge, and Mukasey have violated U.S. law in regard to "material support" for terrorism.
In June, the Supreme Court ruled in Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project that "the First Amendment does not protect humanitarian groups or others who advise foreign terrorist organizations, even if the support is aimed at legal activities or peaceful settlement of dispute":
In a case that weighed free speech against national security, the court voted 6 to 3 to uphold a federal law banning "material support" to foreign terrorist organizations. That ban holds, the court said, even when the offerings are not money or weapons but things such as "expert advice or assistance" or "training" intended to instruct in international law or appeals to the United Nations.
Over to you, Attorney General Holder.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune dominates the newspaper market in the upper Midwest. As the region's leading newspaper, it vows to exercise the power it wields in covering the news with a sense of responsibility regardless of the paper's editorial views. In the election just concluded, however, the Star Tribune's Minnesota Poll failed the paper's most basic responsibility to its readers.
The Minnesota Poll has a long and inglorious history in Minnesota. Most famously, in 1978 the Minneapolis Tribune (as it then was) called all three major statewide races wrong by a wide margin on the basis of its Minnesota Poll. According to the Tribune on the Sunday before the election, the Democratic candidates were about to sweep the gubernatorial and two senate races.
Instead, 1978 was the year of the "Minnesota massacre." The Democrats were routed; Republican Al Quie was elected governor, and Republicans Dave Durenberger and Rudy Boschwitz were elected senators.
The Tribune immediately acknowledged the gravity of its errors and promised to set things right. In 1987 the Star Tribune hired Rob Daves to run the Minnesota Poll and the poll was returned to the newsroom. Daves has continued to direct the poll since that time.
In the past two elections, the Minnesota Poll's final pre-election poll results have proved wildly misleading in comparison with the actual electoral results. In each case, the final poll results have dramatically understated Republican support. The discrepancy between the Minnesota Poll results and actual electoral results does not appear to be random; it has consistently disfavored Republicans. Let's review recent history.
In the year 2000 election cycle, the Star Tribune published its final Minnesota Poll on November 5, 2000, two days before the election. The story summarizing the poll results ran on page one and dramatically reported that in a race that had been neck-and-neck, Gore had opened a 10-point lead over Bush, 47 percent to 37 percent.
The story reported that the race was "still-volatile" and quoted University of Minnesota political science professor Steve Smith as saying, "Gore's in the driver's seat in Minnesota. It appears a number of Minnesotans came back to Gore-where a lot of people expected them to be all along."
On election day, however, the race was in fact neck-and-neck. Gore edged Bush in Minnesota by only 60,000 votes out of 2,450,000 cast, 47.9 to 45.5 percent.
The poll cannot have been accurate, and its effect on Republican voters can only have been demoralizing. The remarkable fact about the 2000 presidential election is that Bush's pre-election lead, measured in every national poll, evaporated in the days before the election.
In their post-election recap in the Weekly Standard (November 27, 2000), Jeffrey Bell and Frank Cannon wrote, "National pollsters are nearly unanimous in believing that a George W. Bush lead of 5 percentage points at the end of October turned into the dead heat in the popular vote that was cast on November 7." The article reviewed final shifts in voter sentiment in detail, showing that Gore's closing surge varied in size around the country; his gains were widespread but not uniform.
I thought at the time, and still do, that the Star Tribune's final pre-election poll was wrong and probably affected the election result in Minnesota. I called Rob Daves to say as much and to complain about it. I also summarized the Bell and Cannon article that belied the poll. With no evidence other than his own poll, Daves stated that Minnesota was an exception to the national trend; in Minnesota, according to Daves, Bush had a closing surge.
This year's Minnesota Poll performed miserably as well. When the Star Tribune published its final Wellstone/Coleman poll in mid-October, showing Coleman trailing far behind Senator Wellstone, I called Daves to ask about the peculiarities of that particular poll.
I mentioned my earlier, November 2000 conversation with him and concluded by offering to bet Daves dinner for two at a restaurant of his choice that Coleman would do five points better than the Star Tribune's final pre-election poll, whatever it showed. Daves (wisely) declined the bet.
The Star Tribune's final pre-election poll was published on November 3, two days before the election. It showed Mondale leading Coleman 46 percent to 41 percent. In the actual election results, of course, Coleman beat Mondale 50 to 47 percent. The Minnesota Poll understated Coleman's strength as measured in the actual election results by 9 points and missed the margin between them by roughly the same amount.
Again Daves has attributed the discrepancy to a volatile electorate. However, it is a mysterious kind of "volatility" that somehow manages to disfavor only the Republicans.
There appears to be a problem here that has less to do with a volatile electorate than with the Rube Goldberg methodology of the Minnesota Poll. Traditional electoral polling methods call for the identification of "likely voters" and the tabulation of their preferences. These are the methods used, for example, by the Mason-Dixon polling organization that conducts polls for the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
However, this is not the methodology employed by the Minnesota Poll. The Minnesota Poll takes into account the preferences of all respondents, but it "adjusts" the survey results; it "weights" the preferences of poll respondents according to "formulas verified in past elections."
At the City Center shopping mall in downtown Minneapolis, the fire alarm occasionally goes off accidentally. When it does so, City Center security staff deactivates the alarm and announces that the "alarm has been verified as false." That is the sense in which it appears the Minnesota Poll's formulas have been verified in past elections.
If I were the editor or publisher of the Star Tribune, I would be seriously concerned about, if not mightily embarrassed by, the quality of my product. If the Star Tribune's poll product were edible instead of legible, it would long ago have been recalled as dangerous to human health, or it would have killed off its customers. We can only hope that some day the Star Tribune cares as much about the quality of its news product as McDonald's does about the quality of its hamburgers.

How your heart works

Your heart is a pump that keeps blood moving around your body. It works 24 hours a day to keep you alive.
Your heart is a muscle, about the size of a fist. It is in the middle of your chest tilted slightly to the left.
Each day, your heart beats about 100,000 times.
It pumps about 23,000 litres (5,000 gallons) of blood around your body.
This blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body, and carries away unwanted carbon dioxide and waste products.
Find out more about how a healthy heart works, and its role in your circulation system.

Socially Distinct Newcomer to the Office
Most of us have the need to feel like we belong ... that we're an accepted member of a social group. Once we belong, we intuitively believe that our group will be most successful when it's composed of like-minded people with the same goals. But what if someone new comes along and challenges that notion? On today's Thinking Aloud, Katie A. Liljenquist joins us to discuss the new kid on the block, and the surprisingly positive effect that outsider can have on a group. Dr. Liljenquist is an assistant professor of organizational leadership and strategy at the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University.—Original airdate: 9/24/2009

The top drug problem in West Virginia is abuse of prescription drugs, especially time-released opioids - painkillers - that junkies alter for a cheap thrill.
To battle this abuse, sheriff's deputies would like to access a prescription drug tracking system that the state maintains. At present, only 15 state troopers and 15 drug task forces have access to this database.
Lawmakers have said no to expanding access for three years.
They should say no a fourth time. While supporting the local sheriff in enforcing the state's laws is important, protecting the privacy of citizens is a significant concern.
Doctor-patient privacy is important in the treatment of medical conditions. Many people are reluctant to seek a doctor's care for ailments they consider embarrassing.
Just having the state collect this information should be enough to unnerve people.
In addition to the 15 troopers in the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the database is used by 15 drug task forces that cover 20 counties around the state.
At a legislative hearing on Monday, Cabell County Sheriff Tom McComas made the case for giving sheriffs in the 35 other counties direct access to the database. He is the president of the West Virginia Sheriffs Association.
He pointed to the case of Dr. Anita Dawson of Milton, who was sentenced to two years in federal prison on Monday for aiding and abetting in obtaining controlled substances by misrepresentation, fraud, forgery and subterfuge.
