Family keeps still-hospitalized bomb victim upbeatBy BOB SALSBERG
The Associated Press | May 12,2013AP Photo
Fucarile speaks to reporters as his fiancee, Jennifer Regan looks on at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Fucarile was only a few feet away from a bomb blast April 15 near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.BOSTON Marc Fucarile lost his right leg above the knee in the Boston Marathon bombing, and doctors are still fighting to save his shattered left one. He has second- and third-degree burns and a piece of shrapnel lodged in his heart.
Hes lost track of how many surgeries hes had, with more still ahead.
But he wont allow the pain or the uncertainty of his future shake his spirit or destroy his faith in humanity.
There are so many more good people than bad, Fucarile says during an interview with The Associated Press in his room at Massachusetts General Hospital.
A 34-year-old roofer, Fucarile is the last bombing victim remaining at that hospital and among a few of the most seriously injured in the April 15 attack not yet released from other hospitals or transferred to rehabilitation facilities.
His spirits remain high because there are a lot of loving people supporting me, he says. He reaches for the hand of one of those people his fiancee, Jennifer Regan.
Marc is keeping me strong when I should be keeping him strong, Regan says. Hes so positive about the whole thing.
Also in the room are his mother, Maureen, father Edward Sr., and older siblings Stephanie and Edward Jr. They wear Boston Strong T-shirts and distribute Marc Strong wristbands with the address of a fundraising website, www.marcfucarile.com.
The future holds daunting challenges for Fucarile, but he has much to look forward to. In addition to planning his wedding, he hopes to stand as the best man at his brothers wedding, originally scheduled for June 1 but now postponed indefinitely.
And perhaps best of all, there are happy times ahead with Gavin, his son with Regan. A gift the boy brought on one of his first visits to the hospital a stuffed bear in the uniform of his dads favorite team, the Boston Bruins sits at Fucariles side.
Fucarile was among several friends from his hometown of Stoneham who were injured, including Paul and J.P. Norden, brothers who each lost a leg. They had gone to the Boylston Street finish line to cheer on another buddy in the race.
The first bomb went off and we all looked at each other and said, Thats not good, Fucarile recalls. As the friends tried to scramble to safety, the second bomb 5 or 6 feet from where Fucarile stood exploded.
When he came to, he was on the ground surrounded by thick smoke. A firefighter was kneeling on him, tightening a tourniquet.
I dont want to die, Fucarile told the man. I have a little boy. Ive got a fiancee.
Just keep thinking about them, the firefighter said.
Fucarile knew immediately his right leg had been blown off. He was holding it in his arms.
Fearing a third bomb was about to explode, the rescuer dragged Fucarile into the street. But if he was going to survive he needed to get to a hospital quickly and there were no more ambulances. All were filled with other victims.
Fearing he would slip away, Fucarile followed the firefighters advice and thought hard about his son and fiancee. Then another hero emerged.
It was a police officer who did not have an ambulance but did have a wagon, normally used to transport prisoners. Fucarile and another badly injured woman were loaded into the wagon for a harrowing ride to the hospital. The strangers comforted each other along the way.
His cellphone rang at the hospital. It was Regan. Another firefighter answered and told her that Fucarile had been badly hurt and that she needed to get there quickly.
Later, the family was told just how close it had been.
The surgeon said if he didnt get here for two, three, four minutes longer, he wouldnt have been with us, says Fucariles father, crediting the first responders. They were like angels; they were the ones who saved him.
Fucarile and the family are equally effusive in praising the care he has received during his stay at the hospital, which has included surgery after surgery after surgery, he says, 10 by the familys latest count.
Much of the focus has been on saving Fucariles left leg, which sustained multiple fractures. Doctors are optimistic but realistic.
There is still a possibility it could be amputated below the knee, he says.
Shrapnel from the bomb, including nails, paper clips and BB pellets, still litters his body. Doctors are closely monitoring the piece of metal lodged in his heart.
Fucarile wouldnt share much of his thoughts about the bombing suspects, though he does say hed prefer that the surviving suspect not receive the death penalty so he can provide authorities with information that might help prevent future attacks.
Fucariles upbeat attitude helps family members cope.
Hes not going to give up. Hes just going to keep on going and being Marc, his mother says.
One Fund Boston, established by Boston and state officials after the bombings, has raised nearly $30 million to help victims, but the family, understanding the magnitude of the long-term expenses, created their own fundraising website, which had collected more than $90,000 as of Friday.
President Barack Obama visited Fucarile in the hospital, as did members of the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots. But clearly its the visits from little Gavin that lift his spirits the highest.
Weve pretty much been honest with him, Fucarile says of his son. (We) told him the bad guys did a bad thing, the police officers caught them and they got into trouble.
He understands that Im going to get a fake leg, he continues before flashing a sense of humor not lost through the ordeal.
Hes looking forward to them maybe putting a video game in my leg, so he can play it, Fucarile says.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves scored first and never fell behind, collecting an eventual 4-2 victory over the Peoria Rivermen before 10,528 fans at the Allstate Arena Saturday night.
Forwards Mike Davies, Andre Deveaux and Nigel Dawes and defenseman Andrey Zubarev scored for Chicago (26-22-2-4), while goaltender Drew MacIntyre shut the door the rest of the way, kicking out 24 of 26 shots he faced.
"They are a big, strong team that plays a physical, defensive style and we did a heck of a job against them," said Wolves Head Coach Don Lever. "They were tired and we took advantage of it, but Drew battled and we played well in front of him."
Davies put the Wolves on top early with his eighth goal of the season, 3:59 into the game. Center Jason Krog drove into the zone, pulled up and slipped a pass across to defenseman Jamie Sifers, who wound up and cranked a long shot that Davies deflected past Peoria goaltender Jake Allen in front of the net.
Dave Spina brought Peoria (29-18-2-2) even, 10:12 into the first frame when his shot from the blueline bounced off MacIntyre's pads and between his legs into the net.
Chicago pulled ahead, 2-1, 5:41 into the second period with defenseman Andrey Zubarev's first AHL goal. Center Jared Ross slipped a pass to Dawes, who took a shot that rebounded out to Zubarev near the blueline, where he wound up and pounded it past Allen.
The Wolves made the lead two, 3-1, 3:30 into the third period when Deveaux got his stick on Sifers' shot from the blueline and knocked it out of the air and past Allen.
Dawes scored to make Chicago's lead 4-1 when he sprung out on a breakaway and clapped a shot past Allen from the left face-off circle at 5:06 of the third period.
Allen (16-9-1) turned aside 30 shots for the Rivermen.
Defenseman Nathan Oystrick scored at 12:30 of the third period to bring the Rivermen within two, 4-2, when he flung a shot from the right face-off circle that clanked off the post and past MacIntyre (9-5-1).
The Wolves will host the Grand Rapids Griffins at the Allstate Arena on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

S.199 (a bill currently in the Vermont House) threatens to remove a Vermonter's right to say no to a vaccine for their child if they wish to send them to any licensed school or daycare facility in Vermont. Over 1,400 concerned citizens have coalesced over this issue and the purpose of this letter is to explain why coalition members strongly believe we must hold fast to the philosophical exemption.
I will start by asking, do you read food labels? Read patient information for prescription meds? Read the fine print before signing a contract? We take time to ensure we are making informed decisions on a variety of topics. Why not vaccines? Vaccines are for-profit pharmaceutical products delivered by syringe directly into the bloodstream.
Vaccines have been used as important tools in the public health toolbox over the years. But a lot has changed. Since we were children, vaccines have turned into big business ($20-plus billion in the U.S.) and huge profits (10 percent annual growth) and have no product liability. Vermont is the number one healthiest state and Vermonters are vaccinating their children, despite growing concerns. Why change?
Parents can and must weigh all facts when it comes to medical decisions for their kids. A rise in the rate of philosophical exemptions over the last few years is not surprising. This is because newer vaccines like those for chicken pox and hepatitis B have been launched. They are now required for school. Is it irrational or unscientific for a parent to decline the hepatitis B vaccine, which has been shown to cause liver damage? Or the chicken pox vaccine, which has a 1 in 1,250 rate of seizures?
Why do we require a hepatitis B vaccine for Vermont schoolchildren anyhow? That virus is transmitted by contact with the blood or other body fluids (i.e., semen and vaginal fluid) of an infected person. And, prior to the launch of the vaccine, chicken pox was largely a mild childhood illness.
Vaccines are often compared to seatbelts but are more like air bags. They can/do go off at the wrong time or explode too forcefully. Like vaccines, they can cause death or disability. That is why most vehicles today have switches to turn airbags on or off, and why Vermont has always had (since 1979) the philosophical exemption. Even before liability was lifted from vaccine makers and doctors, Vermonters have had the philosophical exemption available to them. Since that time, over $2.3 billion has been paid out due to vaccine injuries. When injuries occur, only the parent is responsible – manufacturers and doctors have been released from liability and there is no follow up.
There is a glaring absence of substantive proof that there is a need to limit rights and change the law. The last endemic transmission of polio virus (which is transmitted through feces) in the United States was in 1979, and chicken pox is not smallpox.
Vermont is the number one healthiest state. Perhaps improved consumer protections for Vermont children against an exploding childhood vaccination schedule would be a better approach.

Friday, July 19, 2013
The Cincinnati Bengals showed a vote of confidence in former Fort Dorchester star Carlos Dunlap this week in the form of a lucrative contract extension.
On Tuesday, officials with the NFL team announced Dunlap had signed a five-year contract extension. According to bengals.com, the extension will result in an average of $8 million per year in new money for the defensive end who was drafted by Cincinnati in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
"I'm glad we were able to get this deal done so I can be with them for the long haul," Dunlap said during a conference call with the media Tuesday afternoon. "I'm grateful that the Bengals feel this confident in me and I'm looking forward to the season. I'm excited about this team, especially this defensive line."
Dunlap proved himself a dynamic playmaker in his first three seasons with the Bengals but struggled with injuries so the size of his contract came as a pleasant surprise.
"This is not ordinary deal by any means," Dunlap said. "I haven't even really started for the Bengals so I'm excited. … They feel like my best football is a head of me, as well as I do."
The 6-6, 280-pound Dunlap was named the starter at the left end position prior to last season but was then injured in a pre-season game against the Jets. Dunlap, who recently celebrated his 24th birthday, only has two career starts with the Bengals. However, he played in 14 games last season and in 12 games in both 2010 and 2011.
He has 87 NFL career tackles, including 63 solo tackles and 20 sacks. He has also forced four fumbles and recovered five fumbles.
Among his NFL highlights are a pair of sack-and-strips of Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in a game last year that earned him AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors and a 14-yard interception return for a TD that clinched a Cincinnati win over Baltimore last year.
The contract extension is a pretty good indication Dunlap will see more action in the years to come. Dunlap says that is certainly one of his goals.
"I'm more motivated now than ever," he said.
As far as the injuries, he is hoping they are behind him.
"I wouldn't relate any of my injuries to my conditioning," Dunlap said. "I feel like the Bengals (organization) and my teammates know I always (arrive) in the best shape conditioning wise. I've just had a string of bad luck. But I've stepped up my off the field activities. I've learned from the vets and taken things from their (routines) and added them to my own."

Hey, how'd you know??
But seriously, I do like BJJ. I never, ever, in any of my posts said it was a bad style to train in. It's just not the be all and end all. Pity that you disagree, but again, I'm not surprised.
What I despise about BJJ, though, is the attitude of alot of the people that train in it. BJJ seems to produce alot of assholes, like you, for example. It's one of BJJ's least redeeming factors.
However, despite your banter and nutriding, I seriously doubt that you're much of a significant credit to BJJ, or any martial art for that matter."Onward we stagger, and if the tanks come, may God help the tanks." - Col. William O. Darby

Assholes exist independently from styles which are largely an illusion anyway.
Don't hate on BJJ because of the behavior of some of it's more strident nuttnuzzlers.
BJJ's cojones are large, pungent and intoxicating.
Even accomplished grapplers should have a good working knowledge of this system, for it is very efficatious.
The truth is, BJJ is a traditional asian martial art that has been developed beyond it's previous limitations and that is a good thing.
Art, science, industry and the like evolve, and so should martial art.
Martial arts in general have become more about feeling holy and posturing and blind adherance to ancient rules than learning to actually survive mortal combat.
If someone wants to act like a superior jackass on the interweb it's no skin off my nose.
This is after all just a place for people to let off steam before they go all Columbine as a result of their low self-esteem anyways.

Is it a fad? No, I don't really think so. It's an effective art that has proven itself. It's not going to merely die out, because of its applicable nature. Who can't benefit from knowing and being capable of employing its various techniques?
It certainly has a strong following that doesn't hesitate to tout its efficiency, but it seems to have earned that position.
As an afterthought, it has a bit of a learning curve. It's going to take some dedication to get better. Fads tend to be quick and easy.

NEW YORK (AP) - Jay-Z is live-streaming the last of his eight concerts at New York City's Barclays Center for the launch of his new YouTube channel.
The rapper announced Thursday his performance at the new Brooklyn sports arena will be live-streamed on Saturday at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time. He says it'll air on his new Life and Times channel.
Jay-Z's new channel is part of an original programming initiative by YouTube, owned by Mountain View, Calif.-based Google Inc. Life and Times promises a lineup of "in depth lifestyle pieces" based on the tastes and interests of Jay-Z.
The rapper is christening the Barclays Center with a weeklong series of shows. The arena is the home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets, of which Jay-Z is a minority owner.

Mostly Cloudy

The Green Mountain National Forest opened the VAST snowmobile trails last weekend, and the Mad River Ridge Runners opened the local trails this weekend.
Locally, volunteer trail crews worked all fall to rebuild a bridge at the Turner Farm and reroute a section of trail behind the Duxbury Store. They also installed several new trail signs at intersections and spent numerous weekends brush cutting and cleaning up the 80 plus miles of trails.
This year's snowmobile safety course was taught by Skip Wallace and Tony Amenta, in early December. All 15 attendees passed the course, according to Amenta.
Regionally, this summer's rain and flooding means that some trails in Hancock and Rochester remain closed this winter.
"Weather events of this past summer have necessitated the closure of damaged trails," said Rochester District Ranger Rob Hoelscher. "What we want to stress most is the importance of safety when operating snowmobiles in the forest."
Some trails are open to other uses such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hunting, and dog-sledding. It is important for snowmobile users to respect these other users as well as the private landowners who have generously allowed these uses on their property.
Winter trails in the forest are open for snowmobile use until April 16 and are managed under a cooperative agreement with VAST.

FLAGSTAFF. Ariz. - The Cal State Northridge women's team made a dent in the Matador indoor record book over the weekend at Northern Arizona's Mountain T's Invitational at Walkup Skydome.
The meet which ran Friday and Saturday saw the CSUN women win three of their five dual meet contests while the men won a pair of duals.
More important was the individual performances of the Matador women's squad. Le'Shel Vines ran a meet best 7.45 to win the 60 meters. After converting for the altitude of Flagstaff, Vines' final time of 7.49 equals the school record set by Sherrina Lofton in 2009.
In addition to Vines, Chiza Eze (7.66), Hafsatu Kamara (7.68) and Samantha Dirks (7.68) all reached the 60 meter final. Dirks and Lexis Lambert also ran well in the 400 meters according to head coach Avery Anderson. Lambert ran 56.55 while Dirks was just behind at 56.63.
The women also performed exceptionally well in the field events. Ashley Henry finished second in the high jump with a mark of 5-10.75 (1.80) which moves her into third on the all-time CSUN indoor list as well as 16th nationally this year. Lydia French took third at NAU with a top height of 5-7 (1.70) which is sixth in Matador history.
The pole vault also provided highlights for the Matadors as a trio of vaulters cleared 12 feet. Jenna Yowell, Katrina Wilbanks and Tiana Webberley each cleared a top height of 12-0.50 (3.67) which was good for seventh in a crowded field of vaulters. Wilbanks now ranks fourth of the all-time indoor list with Webberley second (12-10.75) and Yowell third (12-4.75) behind record holder Krystal Quinn (13-1).
In the throws, Jakayla Daniels finished seventh with a top mark of 47-1.75 (14.37) which moved her into the CSUN indoor top-10.
On the men's side, Chris Bryant (7.10) and Kenneth Stone (7.11) ran personal bests in the 60 meters while Grant Weiss also clocked a time of 7.11 in his first indoor meet. Weiss also ran 8.29 in the 60 meter hurdles to reach the event final with teammate Joshua Hemphill who wound up fourth in his heat at 8.21.
Khalid Jones (49.00), Christian Carter (49.40), Isaiah Cantu (49.54), Stone (50.13) and Leron Hutchings (50.68) all finished among the top performers in the 400 meters.
"The 400 meter sprinters ran well given the altitude and difficulties running with a lack of oxygen," said Anderson.
In the field events, Michael Manning and Cameron Van Dieren both cleared 15-1 (4.60) in the pole vault and looked really good according to Anderson.
Jory Rucker posted a best of 22-6.25 (6.86) in the long jump before fouling on his remaining jumps but Anderson was impressed nonetheless.
"He's much faster than last year and it's clear to see how he's really developed as a jumper in his time here at CSUN."
In the throws, Evan Arnott was singled out as having a solid meet. Arnott threw a best of 48-10.25 (14.89) in the shot put.
"Evan is really doing a good job as a freshman coming in and compeing with the college implements," added Anderson.
The CSUN men and women will head to the Texas A&M Invitational this weekend (Feb. 15) in their last tuneup before the MPSF Indoor Championships in Seattle on Feb. 28-Mar. 1.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

Things I liked:Lead free and accurate out to about 40 yards with my Benjamin Marauder, mite get better with the adjustment of the rifle.
Things I would have changed:More pellets in the tin for the price.
What others should know:If your looking for a lead free pellet, give this one a try.
Things I liked:Accurate at 10 meters in my two low and medium power spring rifles and my single stroke target pistol.
Things I would have changed:The price is the only negative.
What others should know:The pellet is made of a very hard material and seems to penetrate better/deeper from the same gun than lead pellets. The pellets recovered from a silent trap appear completely straight, and except for the rifling marks look almost new. My low power spring rifle can puncture bottle caps and tin cans with this pellet, but only dent the same with lead pellets of any shape.
Things I liked:Great pellet for pistols. Shoot further and better penetration than the 7grn and above pellets.
Things I would have changed:More for the money.
What others should know:Excellent for air pistol shooting.

While most of the businesses are focused on investments and stocks, the business website design is meant more for the development of business websites.

Boosting the performance of your business through web development is vital, knowing that market trends are continually changing and you need to cope with so many developmental changes in the business industry. Especially with the modern technology nowadays, you could expect thousands of competitors all across the globe. Therefore, using a web development agency to boost a business is truly vital. The challenge here now lies on how to apply such techniques if your business happens to be about website development.
The good thing is that you could not just limit your web development services within your area, but could possibly get clients from other continents. The most important thing you should not forget is that you only need the best strategies to help you promote your own web development company in order to boost the performance of your business. Even if you would be competing with millions of business firms, as long as you know the right things to do in advertising or promoting your business, then your business could succeed in the most expected way.
The first thing you need to keep in mind is that you should be able to come up with a unique web development approach in attracting clients. You cannot just copy your rival's strategies because that would be too risky and would question your authenticity. You can get help from web development experts from online sources, so you could get hints on what could possibly be the most unique approach you could use in getting customers to patronize your web development service or services.
The second most important thing to remember in promoting your web development business is that you should know how to sell. The services you offer should act as your products that you need to advertise in whichever way you can, as long as you are certain that the marketing techniques you are going to use could give you positive outcomes.
The third thing is all about building healthy relationships with the clients you are serving. You need to make sure that they would continue to renew their subscriptions to your service packages, because that would give you a loyal fan-base for your company. If you are offering a custom web development service, be sure to address each client's requirement so the client would be happy and would feel so secure in working with you. Each relationship between you and your customers should be productive.
The fourth thing is to focus on your targeted clients.

More businesses are realizing the significance of the World Wide Web in the age of technology and information to promote brands, products and services. In order to compete globally, companies establish online presence on the World Wide Web to communicate and service people from all around the planet. In the past, building a website is not the first thing in marketers' minds because only few people have access to it. However, the great majority of today is already online so it is only justifiable to pursue a Houston online marketing strategy to boost the brand and promote its products and services further.
Due to the competition among businesses in the corporate world, a company needs to implement various ideas to lure customers into their respective sites. Search Engine Optimization or SEO is one of the best methods to increase customer traffic of the site. The methods of Houston SEO revolve around improving visibility and increasing the rank of the online website in search engines through keyword count and link building. If the company is new to such strategy, it is best to do SEO outsourcing from a licensed SEO company to handle the various activities. Locating the best SEO companies is easy because they are also available online. Wise companies would implement their own skills to their respective businesses, thus, the top companies in search engine results are regarded to be the best in the industry. In 2014, here are the top three SEO trends to watch out for.
Mobile optimization is no longer optional. Half of the American population own smartphones and a third own tablet computers, thus it's safe to conclude that people are embracing the mobile era. In order to increase Houston SEO rankings, companies should improve their mobile sites with top quality content and design to gain more customer traffic. Marketers should not ignore the increasing number of mobile phone and tablet users because they are still part of the target audience that can access the company's site with mobile internet. There is also a higher chance among mobile user to discover your site because establishments nowadays support Wireless Fidelity or WiFi. A mobile site is a good addition in the marketing strategy and it could truly improve SEO ranking.
Social media is also gaining relevance, thus utilizing it is considered a top trend in SEO. The social media platforms that companies can use are Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and Instagram because these sites already have millions of users. Apart from customization and the possibility to establish communication with consumers, companies that use social media improve their visibility further. Consumers are likely to appreciate the brand's effort to reach out to its audience.
The brand should be the top priority instead of link building. The SEO rankings are improved to boost the visibility of the brand, thus, one should focus on its content. The number of links built is considered trivial as compared to good content strategy. Your content should be of high standards all the time because what is the use of a high SEO rank if customers find the content mediocre and incomplete?
To maximize the online presence of the company, SEO should not be the main focus. Blogs can also support and advertise content without too much effort. It also has a better distribution rate while supporting the SEO rankings of the main website. SEO can be the driving force to get front page of Google and increase visibility if it is understood and applied correctly.Learn More

While most of the businesses are focused on investments and stocks, the business website design is meant more for the development of business websites.

Its because the power of Web Development can expand a slew of commercial website design, and is also capable of helping a business to grow. Many people believe that the internet can introduce their venture globally, and with the trend today, every website design has become one of the most useful things in every business worldwide.
Each unique system found in commercial web design is shown to be useful normally. These ways can either broaden or sharpen the view of a business dealing with the development of its website design. One of the best ways to introduce a web design is by using Search Engine Optimization or SEO. But other business with most network designs prefer to use a Web Content Management System in their web design. Even the use of Content Management System or CMS can turn a website design into an industrial web design in the process.
A business web design can grow naturally, if each design are being introduced in the industry very well. It's an important factor to use CMS in developing every business website in the industry. Most programmers and developers today prefer using CMS in managing websites for computers or mobile phones. The support of a Content Active Shared Architecture is another significant matter that a website design must incorporate. Websites with this kind of hosting can be dynamically integrated depending on the taste of its customers. The architecture brings every website a model that guarantees maximum update for every client's website.
On the other hand, a highend web design is created to maximize an updating process that will benefit the hosting of its security. The custom web development is monitored 24 hours a day by these kinds of service. A website design with full integration of its security is a simple thing because each design is hosted well. On the other hand, a modern web design is monitored more than 24 hours a day because of the contents inside the layout design. The least important thing to remember about planning a layout is its features. Many web features incorporated in a premium web design is proven useful for a business to grow.Learn More

- Plural marking in argument supporting nominalizations (2008)
- This paper investigates the conditions under which Argument Supporting Nominalizations (ASNs) can receive plural marking. Under ASNs, we discuss deverbal nouns that express an event and preserve argument structure. In our discussion we consider ASNs in Romanian, English and German.
- Class features as probes (2008)
- In this article, we adress (i) the form and (ii) the function on inflection class features in minimalist grammar. The empirical evidence comes from noun inflection systems involving fusional markers in German, Greek, and Russian. As for (i), we argue (based on instances of transparadigmatic syncretism) that class features are not privative; rather, class information must be decomposed into more abstract, binary features. Concerning (ii), we propose that class features qualify as the very device that brings about fusional infection: They are uninterpretable in syntax and actas probes on stems, with matching inflection markers as goels, and thus trigger morphological Agree operations that merge stem and inflection marker before syntax is reached.

- Willamette Student Interns Are a Mainstay at Capitol
Willamette Student Interns Are a Mainstay at Capitol
The cross-the-street relationship is mutually beneficial.
John Turner, beet-faced and glistening, reaches for his can of Diet Coke -- even before he can catch his breath.
"This is the drink of choice around here," said Turner, wiping off shiny beads of sweat forming from his 5-minute sprint from Willamette University to the Capitol.
His coffee mug sits empty on his small but tidy desk, leading the 21-year-old to chug, not sip, his soda, as if desperate for his daily fix of caffeine. He then begins to talk of his daily routine as a Capitol intern, detailing his passion for politics -- and his love for audit reports.
"It's just this amazing insight into the process," Turner said, with enthusiasm he attributes to his boss, Rep. Alan Bates, D-Ashland.
This wide-eyed and ambitious excitement is exhibited not only in Turner but in many of the 47 Willamette interns working at the Capitol.
For as long as many legislators can remember, Willamette interns have been a continuous presence at the Capitol. Bates has hired five Willamette interns in his two terms.
Traditionally, students from the private college dominate the crew of interns working in the building and the number continues to grow each session.
Willamette professors say it is due to a budding interest in politics. Interns say location is their incentive and a quality work environment is its appeal.
The comfort level between interns and their respective employers is high, especially for Turner, who gets his boss' attention with "Hey, Bates." Bates has nicknamed his intern "Rock Star."
Bates said the interns are a lot of fun to have around, and when it comes to working, they are great.
"They're bright young kids interested in policy, and we get to take advantage of that by having them help," he said.
For many politics junkies at Willamette, getting one foot in the door of government while keeping the other grounded in classwork is what makes the internship worthwhile.
Working close to the college was not a fluke for Sarah Sutton. It was a calculated decision to further her career aspirations.
"The reason I chose to go to Willamette is because it was right across the street from the Capitol," she said.
Sutton, 22, said she knew of her love for politics at age 12, when she began writing random letters to President Clinton. Now, she writes proclamations for Gov. Ted Kulongoski.
But Sutton said she still is getting used to people wanting things as soon as they ask.
"People are here with a mission and are pushy -- but that's part of public service," she said.
During a dramatic session such as this one, Turner said it can be hard to not debate issues among peers, though most of the interns he associates with are Democrats.
Among the youth politicking, the more heated issues have been the budget, abortion and Measure 28. Personal values also can weigh in for some.
A registered independent, Turner said he would not consider working for a Republican, based on many of their decisions this session.
He said his views are more parallel to Bates.
Sutton, a Democrat, was exposed to working in an all-Republican office her sophomore year, when interning for Sen. Steve Harper, R-Klamath Falls, last session. She was affectionately nicknamed "Dixiecrat," a political cliche referring to Democrats who stick around Republicans.
Interns work on average 20 hours per week. They start in January and are warned about the uncertainty of an end-of-session date.
Politics senior Emily West said that stretching the hours between school and work is easier with the Capitol being so close. Bringing a dose of reality politics into her learning gives her an advantage in class, she said.
Many of the students are preparing for a future in politics. Turner said his next step is law school. Sutton is weighing her choices, and West expects to stay with public service.
