Decision Frameworks for Multi-Hazard Resilient and Sustainable Buildings
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent
with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that
the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
Buildings are a significant part of our nation's civil infrastructure for our welfare, livelihood, security, and safety.��Buildings�exist in an economic, social, technological, and natural context.��They must be designed�for�resilience to the multiple natural hazards, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, windstorms (e.g., hurricanes and tornadoes), and floods,�which may be experienced over�their lifespan.� Their design must also accommodate emerging societal goals for sustainability to reduce their impact on the natural environment.��This high performance for multi-hazard resiliency and sustainability requires a comprehensive understanding of the risks, costs, and opportunities�for a range of decisions, from choosing the building materials to�designing�the�many systems comprising�the building.� Among these systems, the building's soil-foundation-structural-envelope (SFSE) system is�critical to maintain the integrity and functionality of the building to protect occupants and the interior.��
The goal of the Decision Frameworks for Multi-Hazard Resilient and Sustainable Buildings (RSB) solicitation is to advance knowledge for�new concepts for�multi-hazard resilient and sustainable SFSE building systems using decision frameworks for selection among alternative building system designs.� Research for�multi-hazard resilient and sustainable�SFSE building systems�supported under the this solicitation must include�the consideration of a rational decision framework, preferences,�concepts for SFSE systems, and design optimization�methods for generating and choosing among alternative SFSE systems.
Multidisciplinary collaborations are essential for this research.��Proposals must broadly integrate�across�the fields of architecture; engineering; material, environmental, social, behavioral, and economic sciences; and other disciplines necessary to address the research scope.� Research supported under this solicitation may�include�computational, analytical, and/or experimental�work.��Research may also undertake the collection of new data or the use of existing data, but the data must be integral to the decision framework.� This solicitation does not support research that generically addresses materials research or decision frameworks�outside the context of�decision making for multi-hazard resilient and sustainable SFSE building systems.���

Wow. We're unbelievably bad. This team can't hit or pitch. Sure, there are exceptions. Hardy is great (when healthy). Adam Jones is good enough. I'll take Reynolds' homers, despite the low average and strikeouts. Johnson and Uehara are great relievers.
That's about it.
Wieters somehow completely forgot how to hit. (A shining example of the Orioles' "reverse Midas touch"- whenever they touch something Gold, they turn it to junk.) The latest "Reverse Midas" Oriole is Brian Matusz who forgot how to pitch. Another Reverse Midas Oriole is Derek Lee and his .239 average and 6 HR, and another is Vlad Guerrero.
Markakis got his average up, but the power has vanished. Roberts is old and frail.
Then there's the farm. We have Norfolk and it's squad of AAAA guys like Snyder and Bell- too good for Double A, and too bad for anything beyond. We have guys who can't stay healthy (Mahoney). We have the overhyped (Florimon), the never-was's (Rowell). Heck, even our top prospect is hitting .140 at A ball.
Is there some way we can just disband the organization and ask MLB to start over as an expansion team? Just release everyone. Acquire guys who are unprotected on 40 man rosters of the other teams, secure the first pick in the draft for a couple of years, and just start completely over....


text: The scene from the middle of iced-over Joe's Valley Reservoir shows a forecast of what next season's water supply might be like: only a skiff of snow on the lake and not much more in the mountains. Snowpacks in this region are much below normal at 65 percent of average, only 48 last year's wet winter. Individual sites range from 41 percent at Seeley Creek Snotel to 102 percent of average at Donkey Reservoir Snotel. Precipitation during January was below average at 76 percent, bringing the seasonal accumulation (Oct-Jan) to 85 percent of normal. Soil moisture estimates in runoff producing areas are at 41percent of saturation in the upper 2 feet of soil, compared to 66 percent last year at this time. Forecast streamflows (April-July) range from 48 percent to 83 percent of average. Reservoir storage is at 77 percent of capacity. General runoff conditions are much below average while Surface Water Supply Indices are near average in the Price, Joe's Valley, Ferron Creek areas, and Moab area due to high reservoir storage.

World Stroke Day is a worldwide campaign to increase the understanding of the solutions that exist to prevent and recognize stroke and its symptoms.

Any true chocolate-phile knows, not even the most dedicated proponents of a healthy lifestyle can give up the dark, rich treat. Not entirely, anyway. And now they don't have to. For Louie and Vanessa are making chocolate bars that are more, well, functional. They use only the finest unroasted organic cacao from Ecuador, which is believed to contain more of chocolate's beneficial compounds than roasted counterparts. Not to mention, once sweetened with organic maple sugar, they taste mighty fine too. As one exuberant fan explained, "Healthy or not, this should be illegal." We'll collect that contraband right here.

The United States is already over the fiscal cliff and there is no hope of current political leaders or those elected within the next decade of being able to undo the financial damage that has befallen the Nation.
That's what Representative and former Presidential hopeful Ron Paul had to say during an interview on Bloomberg Television when he was asked if he believed Congress could work out the issue associated with the looming financial calamity.
"We're so far gone," Paul said. "We're over the cliff. We cannot get enough people in Congress in the next 5-10 years who will do the wise things. We have to prepare for having already fallen off the fiscal cliff."
The problem, he said, is that too many politicians argue over what must be protected in the budget rather than focusing on necessary cuts. Paul also believes that the re-election of President Barack Obama is a bad sign that the American public is too welcoming to big-government spending.
"That is why people were sort of surprised with these conditions that the president could get re-elected," he said. "That is a bad sign in that there are more on the receiving end. People do not want anything cut. They want all the bailouts to come. They want the Fed to keep printing money. They do not believe we have gone off the cliff or are close to going off the cliff."

While it might be true that Sprint is the only network in the entire country that makes use of a 4G WiMax, they have to be wary since it has now been revealed that T-mobile also catching up to them with their recently launched HSPA+ network. For those unaware, the HSPA+ network is capable of reaching speeds on par with that of the 4G. But in all probability, how close is this network when you try to compare it to the WiMAX network? We recently conducted tests in Philadelphia and did exactly this. We put the 4G network of Sprint's against the 4G data network of T-mobile.
While a total of six different locations in Philadelphia were used for the conducting of the tests, it was found that the WiMAX network boasted of an overall download speed of 4,066 kbps whereas the upload speed was around 978Kbps. On average, it was found that the WiMAX network had a download speed of 2785 kilobytes per second while the upload speed was 600 kbps. After that we tried the HSPA+ network of T-Mobile. When we tested it in one particular city, the overall download speed was 5442 kbps while the upload speed was 1880 kbps. On an average it was found that the overall download speed for the HSPA + network was 2960kbps whereas the upload speed on an average was 1283 kbps.
So if you compare the two, obviously the 4G network of T-mobile is the clear winner. If you're planning on testing both the networks by yourself, remember that the speed changes are minimal, real world events are attributed to the change and as such they cannot be controlled.
Over the past few months, both mobile carriers have been trying very aggressively in branding their name much more than the other. While a new infrastructure is being built for Sprint, T-mobile is doing whatever they can to allow Internet users much faster browsing connections.

A recent rumor from Nokia insider Eldar Murtazin claims that Nokia is currently in the process of working on a deal with Microsoft that would allow for them to utilize Windows Phone 7 on their upcoming unlocked cell phone. The devices had previously used Symbian, but the operating system has not received good marks from experts or customers in reviews, and it is clear that Nokia will have to move away from Symbian if they would like to remain competitive in the market.
The CEO of Nokia, Stephen Elop has reportedly been conversing with officials at Microsoft for the past few months and has spoken with them about the possibility of them launching a Windows Phone 7 device in the near future.
Regardless of the decision that they make, Nokia still has a large place in the marketplace. Them adding a partnership with Microsoft into the mix would be to the benefit of both companies and would allow both of them to grow. Windows Phone 7 is known for being meticulous when it comes to security. Their WGA software will lock the phone down if it detects that you are messing with any of the inner-working software that runs the operating system, and Symbian is an operating system that is obviously on the decline.
It will be interesting to see what kind of devices Nokia releases. They have never been at the forefront of the higher-end devices, but a new partnership with a growing operating system might force them to look to more advanced devices in the future.
The rumor also stated that they were not just discussing the possibility of a single phone, but instead a line of phones that would be sold through the various channels that Nokia has at their disposal. It would be an interesting partnership to say the least. Both companies have made huge gains in the mobile market in recent years and it only seems right that they meet in the middle to continue their surge.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked cell phone such as unlocked Nokia N8, LG C900, etc..

I'm going to be watching the House and Senate Finance committee hearings to see if any more money is being funneled into the ACI kitchen budget. I figure that, at the rate senators and representatives are running afoul of the law these days, legislators are going to have a vested interest in improving the quality of prison food.
To my recollection, only former Sen. Christopher Maselli is currently enjoying hoosegow cuisine, and he is a tenant of the federal government. But it's difficult to keep track. The General Assembly arrest record being what it is, it's getting hard to tell the players without a scorecard.
Any civilian who gets popped for DUI will tell you it is a long, grueling and very expensive — the lawyer's fees are more punishing than whatever fine you get — process, even for a first offense.
But whaddya know, Joe, Senate Majority Leader Dominick Ruggerio pleaded out to refusing a chemical test, got the DUI dropped and was back in his seat near the back door of the Senate Chamber in jig time. Within a couple of news cycles, the senator had largely put his legal troubles behind him. As far as his publicity and political problems, we'll have to wait and see, but if you made me bet with my own money, I would put it on Ruggerio being re-elected handily.
Now, if you or I happened to be with a buddy who got popped for DUI and we tried to interfere with the field sobriety test or started giving the cop a lot of guff about his pension while thumbing through our cellphone contacts trying to call someone with enough clout to get us off the hook, as Providence Sen. Frank Ciccone is said to have done, our butt would be placed squarely (but politely) in the back seat of the cruiser and we would be telling it to the judge about obstructing a police officer. I can guaran-damn-tee you that the judge would do more to us than take away some committee chairmanship.
I sincerely believe that the Statehouse culture is so insulated, and the people there have their heads so far up their own backsides, that most of them really think it was a significant punishment for President Teresa Paiva Weed to strip Providence Sen. Frank Ciccone of his chairmanship of the Government Oversight Committee for his contributions on that Barrington evening. (That particular penalty may have been unfair, actually, because we know Ciccone was seeing to his oversight duties 24/7. After all, he was busily overseeing the job Barrington cops were doing well after midnight on the day in question.)
As one of my colleagues in the Statehouse press corps noted while we waited on the third floor for Paiva Weed's statement on Ciccone, Ruggerio is the one who is coming out of this looking good, even though he was the one charged by police.
You didn't see Ruggerio losing his majority leader post, or getting any sort of sanction from his Senate colleagues. Different spanks for different ranks, I guess.
I guess the great Barrington DUI incident is now over and done with, a fleeting blip on the political radar screen and we will now go back to, not to put too fine a point on it, politics as usual.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to the Providence and State Police.
You might recall that, a couple of weeks ago, there was a news report about a two-man cop team working undercover in Olneyville Square. They weren't casting a net for murders or rapists, muggers or drug pushers. No, this undercover team was on the lookout for a different kind of scofflaw: fiends driving their automobiles without having their seatbelts buckled.
Yes, really. On that night, they were the seatbelt police. One plainclothes guy peeked into passing car windows and, if he spotted someone not buckled up, he alerted his partner who whacked the luckless motorist with an $85 ticket.
The reason we owe them a debt of gratitude is that their assignment was so ridiculous, such an egregious waste of valuable police manpower, and such an in-your-face assault against common sense, that it laid bare for all to see what a disagreeable piece of governmental mischief the mandatory seatbelt law is. Did anybody read that report and not shake their head at the utter silliness of the overkill being applied to a non-problem?
Finally we have the glowing, impossible-to-ignore example that might motivate the electorate — at least those among them with a driver's license, which is suddenly very important for them to have — to get their elected officials to reverse this fiasco of a law.
Let's hope that time is here, because there is now a mechanism for those folks to make themselves heard. WPRO-AM's evening talk show host Matt Allen has a petition on the station's website to get this silly law repealed. Go to 630WPRO.com and click on Matt Allen, you will see a link to his petition, which, as this is being written, has more than 1,000 signatures already. Add your name and stop this corrupt madness.
Despite the protestation of the police to the contrary, that undercover caper stripped away all pretense that this awful law is anything more than a backhanded tax. It is one of life's truisms that whenever anybody says "It's not about the money," it's about the money. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is very much about the money.
Statistics show that four of every five Rhode Island drivers already wear their seatbelts regularly.
The only reason the General Assembly passed the law was to get money from the federal government that would have been denied to them otherwise. And the only reason police are sent out to enforce the law is to extract 85 bucks from everyone who happens to get caught. It's ALL about the money.
But, hey, you can't say they are raising taxes. No, no, no!
What's going to happen the next time plainclothes cop spots a guy not wearing a seatbelt and radios his partner to stop him, but he doesn't know that the guy has a trunk filled with cocaine and a loaded sawed-off shotgun across his lap? When the state trooper pulls him over, the driver will have no way of knowing that it is just for a chickenbleep seatbelt offense.
How many $85 tickets will it take to make that worthwhile?

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. These articles are being prepared in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth in 1891.
The year began with a hot story from Wellington when the city hall there burned nearly to the ground. The building that had served the community well since 1934 when it was moved from Nine Mile Canyon where it had been a school building. Ironically as the building burned along with it went a lot of fire fighting equipment that was in the remodeled part of the structure which served as the fire station for the town. The fire was detected by a passer-by who alerted Carl Olsen, the volunteer department's fire chief. However, because of the fire in the building he was unable to use the siren to alert the volunteers from the community. He then called the Price Fire Department which arrived in about 12 minutes to fight the blaze. The Price fire fighters were able to roll out Wellington's fire truck, even though it was burning. Damage to the building was estimated to be $25,000. The building and equipment were insured.
In February, once again, officials from the area traveled to Washington D.C. to argue against the North Sanpete Watershed Project (the Gooseberry Project). The Soil Conservation Service was at this point pushing for the project which would divert 8,000 acre feet of water from the Price drainage to the Sanpete Valley. A petition was filed with the Seventh District Court by Carbon interests in April questioning the water rights that would be available for such a project. In May the project got federal budget approval to the tune of $6,795,855. In August a Congressional committee was held to look into the proposed project, and there things started to cool down. Opposition to the project came from a wide group of congressmen who felt the conflict between the two counties in Utah over the project made it untenable.
In April the Independent Coal and Coke Company announced that the Castle Gate mine would be temporarily shut down. The move put another 68 people out of work, in a time when the coal industry was already depressed and the area was suffering from unemployment. It was the first time since 1888, when the first mine opened in Castle Gate, that at least some coal would not be produced there.
In August, Keller's Market in Price was burglarized for a second time in the same way that happened only a few months before. Thieves drilled holes in the roof and took out a section of it to slip down into the store. However, according to the reports in the paper the robbers got absolutely nothing in the robbery, either because they didn't find what they wanted or were scared off. But the damage repair costs were expensive just the same.
Also in August, petitions requesting the installation of a natural gas delivery system in Price were protested by the United Mine Workers of America. Frank Stevenson, president of District 22, told the Carbon County commissioners that installation of gas could cost the coal 150,000 tons of coal sales a year which he stated would bring a reduction of $375,000 in pay for local miners. He asked the commission to pass a resolution opposing the allowance of a natural gas franchise what would compete with the local coal industry.
In October, the Price River Water Improvement District held a public meeting concerning the expansion of the agency's responsibilities to include the planning, engineering and construction of a sewage system within its boundaries. The agency, which was only a couple of years old and had only been handling culinary water issues and construction, now had a new charge after the meeting and immediately filed applications to the state and federal government for funds to start the process. Those at the meeting had provided no opposition to the new charge of the agency, but did ask a lot of questions about what would come. At the time the plans were for sewage lines to run from Castle Gate to Wellington, where a water treatment plant would be constructed to treat the sewage.
In November, the United States Air Force announced that the Green River area had been selected as a launch test site that would work in conjunction with the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. While not in Carbon County, the launch site would have some definite economic impact on the entire area over the years, including employment of a number of Carbon County residents.

Cytec closes coating resins sale
April 3, 2013 | Vincent Valk
Cytec has closed the $1.15-billion sale of its coating resins business to private equity Advent International (New York).

Just 12 days after 49 congressmen requested an official inquiry into the involvement of Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan (photo) with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, aka ObamaCare) during her tenure as U.S. Solicitor General, the House Judiciary Committee has complied. Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) sent a July 6 letter to Attorney General Eric Holder asking for "relevant documents and witness interviews in order to properly understand" Kagan's role with regard to the legislation itself and related litigation.
Perhaps the committee will have better luck in wresting those documents from the Justice Department's clutches than private organizations have had. As the congressmen pointed out in their letter to the committee, "the Justice Department has been uncooperative to date with repeated [Freedom of Information Act] requests that seek the full body of relevant emails from the Office of the Solicitor General that would reveal the scope of Justice Kagan's involvement in PPACA defense activities." Both the Media Research Center and Judicial Watch were forced to sue the Justice Department in federal court in order to obtain the documents they sought, and even then only a small number have been made available to them.

I like names. I find them fascinating, for a reason I might not be able to explain.
For example, in France there is a movement (March for All) underfoot to stop gay marriage.
All sorts of non-aligned groups are joining the effort. While I am impressed that these various factions have actually managed to find common ground, I am more impressed by one of the leaders. She has taken on the name Frigide Barjot. The nickname is a take-off, of course, of Brigitte Bardot, that 60's sex symbol. And it translates as Frigid Loony. Our good lady Frigide's real name is Virginie Tellenne.
But I think I like her pseudonym better. Her pink tank-top (I believe) reads: We are born of one man and one woman. She looks like she might have a little lion blood in 'er.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Jen recently graduated with a BFA from the University of Southern California as one of USC's Trustee Scholars to study fine arts with a concentration in sculpture. While attending USC Jen worked as Volunteer Facilitator at University-Rap, leading discussion groups about global, national and local tops in the LGBTQ community, a leadership role Jen was familiar with as she helped shine light on homophobia in schools by bringing issues about LGBTQ and non-gender conforming youth to the forefront while in high school. During those years Jen performed in her high schools variety show about a semi-autobiographical comedic piece about her life as a "minority poster-child." Jen also was Homecoming Queen her senior year. She is a regular speaker on question-answer panels with faculty and student audiences. The panel focuses on her experience as an out lesbian in high school. Jen also helped her high school's Day of Silence grow from under ten participants her freshman year to over seventy her senior year. By remaining accomplished academically, athletically (2005 U-19 IL state soccer champion with Sockers FC Chicago), and artistically, Jen hopes to help erase some of the stigma surrounding gay youth.Jen joined Point's Board of Trustees in May 2013.

United Way funds assist Active Re-Entry in a number of ways:
1) PERKIE Travels: daily transportation from Carbon and Emery Counties for cancer patients in need of radiation treatments. Castleview Hospital provides chemotherapy treatments, but the closest facility for radiation is in Provo. Eighty percent (80%) of the funds for this program come from the Susan G. Komen Foundation- SLC Affiliate, but the rest comes from United Way, and other local contributors.
2) Assistive Technology and Loan Bank Equipment and Repairs: monies are used to purchase simple AT devices (grabbers, bathroom bars) as well as repair AT equipment of low-income individuals with disabilities (batteries for scooters and wheelchairs, tires) and other types of equipment.
3) P.A.W.S.: P.A.W.S. volunteer handler/animal teams are trained to work in a wide range of care-giving facilities including hospitals, special needs classrooms, long term care facilities, as well as many other settings. These teams bring the healing power of the human animal bond to help children and adults who have experienced emotional and physical trauma, developmental changes, substance abuse, and even terminal illness. These funds are used to support the volunteers with uniform shirts, develop a PAWS calendar, and honor them with an annual pin and reception.
Some of the other services and programs Active Re-Entry provides include:
Older Blind program: a program for those 55 and older providing education in adaptive techniques and devices, low vision clinics, peer support groups, orientation and mobility training, and information about the programs and services available. Support groups are offered in Vernal, Roosevelt, Duchesne, Carbon, Emery and Grand Counties. Low vision clinics are provided in each of these communities as well as four sites in San Juan County.
Caregivers Support Group and annual conference. Monthly support groups for family members, friends, neighbors or professionals who provide care for individuals. Group members share ideas, gain support, and get a chance to talk with others in similar circumstances.

Assistance is provided whether the individual is utilizing State funds, Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance.
AT Loan Bank: equipment that, when available, is loaned to individuals with disabilities who are awaiting their own equipment, or wish to see if a particular piece of equipment might benefit them.
ADA Technical Assistance and Facility Evaluations: advice and consultation to individuals, businesses, and the community on the Americans with Disabilities Accessibility Guidelines.
Active Access Support Group: a peer support group of individuals wishing to become more involved and become more aware of community issues.

The Nursing Home Transition program works with individuals to assist them in making the decisions to move and live up the necessary community based supports as well as work to keep those that choose to remain living in the community, out of a nursing home.
Senior Advocate: working to protect resident's rights in nursing homes, residential care facilities, and adult foster care by voicing and resolving the concerns which many elderly encounter in these facilities.
Personal Disability Waiver: a program which assists individuals with disabilities to obtain personal care attendants to assist them in living in their own home.

DEXTER Nearly two months after General Brown Central School board members decided to fill the remaining year of a three-year board term, they now must decide how to proceed with filling the remaining two years of another members term.
During the boards annual organizational meeting last week, newly elected President Jeffrey West announced Cynthia L. Humerickhouse resigned just one year after she won a three-year term.
Members had discussed bumping new member Jamie Lee up to the two-year term since she had received enough votes in May to fill the one year left in John Hardys term. That is something that new Superintendent Cammy J. Morrison said the school district will seek a legal opinion on.
Mr. West said board members could leave the seat empty or fill it in with the next-place vote getter. The latter is what newly elected board Vice President Daniel J. Dupee II said the district historically has done.
Next in line to receive the fill-in appointment would be Christopher J. Littell, the candidate who wasnt elected for any term. Sandy Y. Klindt and Brien M. Spooner both were elected to three-year terms in May.
The board is expected to discuss the situation at its monthly meeting in August.
Meanwhile, Mr. West initiated conversation among board members during the July meeting about board goals. Last year, the board was scrutinized for taking too long to set its goals for the 2012-13 school year. Mr. West said the board will set a special meeting date specifically to discuss its goals for the 2013-14 school year.

The two defendants accused of operating a prostitution business in Kennebunk pleaded not guilty in Cumberland County Superior Court today. Twenty-nine-year-old Alexis Wright of Wells and alleged business partner Mark Strong of Thomaston each faced multiple criminal counts. During the court proceeding, the judge also considered whether to make the list of their clients confidential. Patty Wight reports.
Alexis Wright is facing more than 100 misdemeanor counts for promoting and engaging in prostitution. She also faces three felony accounts: one for tax evasion and two for theft by deception for wrongfully collecting income tax refunds and food assistance.
Mark Strong faces more than 50 misdemeanor charges for promoting prostitution and conspiracy. But Strong's attorney Dan Lilley has filed two motions to dismiss the case because he says state prosecutors have only provided him with a quarter of the evidence they have against his client.
Lilley says they're disorganized, and trying to get information from them is like a treasure hunt. "They've taken a case - a small case - they've blown it into a nightmare, but they're not prepared to go forward on it," he says.
Prosecutors said today they may have another piece of evidence against Mark Strong - possible child pornogrpahy. But Lilley balked at that suggestion when he met with reporters outside the courtroom. "There's no child pornography in this case," he said. "They told me that personally, they emailed that to me, and they put in a pleading in court."
Judge Nancy Mills hasn't ruled on whether to dismiss the case yet. She'll consider the motion again in a few weeks, after the prosecution and defense meet next week to share evidence.
Prosecutors have also asked Judge Mills to grant an order to keep private the list of Wright's 150 clients, some of whom could be prominent figures. They argued that allowing the list to be publicized before formal charges are brought could create confusion and hurt innocent people. But Judge Mills said there was no just cause to grant such an order.
"There was no showing that this case is any different from any other criminal case where people are charged with crimes," says Sigmund Schutz, an attorney who represents the Portland Press Herald and the York County Coast Star newspapers. He filed an objection to the proposed confidentiality order.
Schutz says the public has a right to know about what happens in the court. He says the list can be released at any time, from the defense attorneys or the state.
"The state can determine whether the release of the list would interfere with ongoing law enforcement proceedings or constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy," Schutz says. "And that's probably a determination that the state should revisit in light of the fact that they're going to prosecute the individuals on the list."
Some communities are already bracing for the consequences of publishing the list. Andrew Dollof is the superintendent of Kennebunk schools. Last week, he sent a letter to staff directing them to reach out to students who could be bullied or harrassed.
"We're certainly anticipating that it could impact some students and their families in our district because they may be related to somebody who could be named," Dollof says.
It's unclear when the list will be released to the public. At the latest, it will happen when the case goes to trial. Judge Nancy Mills said the case will be expedited from this moment forward and **** will look to set a trial date in a few weeks.

A Watertown man was sentenced Friday in Jefferson County Court to up to 5˝ years in state prison for trying to sell heroin in December.
Raimundo Marteliz III, 45, no fixed address, also was ordered to undergo an additional two years of supervision upon his release from prison after a June 14 guilty plea to third-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance. He admitted that he tried to sell the drug within the county Dec. 5.
Judge Kim H. Martusewicz mandated that he serve his sentence in the prison systems Willard Drug Treatment Program. If inmates complete the 90-day program, they serve the remainder of their sentence under parole supervision.
Mr. Marteliz was sentenced as a second-felony offender, having been convicted in County Court of first-degree forgery and sentenced in June 2005 to one to three years in prison. He also was sentenced to 3˝ to 7 years in prison after a June 2011 guilty plea to third-degree burglary and was referred to the Willard program. He was returned to prison in May 2012 for violating parole and was released in October, according to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision website.
In other court activity:
Roderick B. Pugh, 40, Syracuse, was sentenced to six months in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and five years probation after pleading guilty Feb. 7 to two counts each of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was charged in a grand jury indictment handed up in June 2012 with having and selling cocaine within the county in mid-March 2011 and again in early April 2011.
Before his sentencing, Mr. Pugh made a motion to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming, among other things, that the court did not have jurisdiction over him and that he was not Roderick Pugh, but an entity known as The Noble One. Judge Martusewicz rejected his motion, telling Mr. Pugh that the disposition of his case was favorable to him, as the Onondaga County Probation Department, which had conducted a presentence investigation in the matter, had recommended that Mr. Pugh be sentenced to prison. His probation supervision will be transferred to Onondaga County.
Devin Daniels, 24, Baltimore, Md., was sentenced to six months in the PSB and five years probation after pleading guilty June 17 to third-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance. He had been accused in a grand jury indictment handed up in April of selling cocaine in mid-January.
Tyree D. Gary, 21, of 505 Arsenal St., pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance. Further information about the charge was not available. He is expected to be sentenced Sept. 6 to a year in prison, followed by a year of post-release supervision.
Dejaun J. Butler, 22, Lumberton, N.C., was arraigned on a sealed indictment containing three counts each of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. It is alleged that he had and sold cocaine twice on the same day in early November and again in early January. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and bail was set at $10,000. He is incarcerated in St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, on a drug sale charge, on allegations he sold cocaine in February in Ogdensburg.
Colley Curry, 26, an inmate at Upstate Correctional Facility, Malone, was arraigned on an indictment containing two counts each of second-degree assault and second-degree harassment, as well as a single count of first-degree assault. It is alleged that on Jan. 6 at Watertown Correctional Facility, he repeatedly jumped on the leg of another inmate, William Monarch, causing compound fractures to Mr. Monarchs tibia and fibula, requiring surgery and causing an extensive disability. It further is alleged that he punched Mr. Monarch, knocking him to the floor.
Mr. Curry pleaded not guilty to the charges and was held on $1,500 bail. He is serving a five-year prison sentence imposed in New York County in 2010 for third-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance.
Christopher N. Moore, 33, Dallas, Texas, had bail set at $50,000 after being charged Tuesday with third-degree criminal possession of stolen property, a Class D felony, third-degree unlawfully fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle and unlawful possession of marijuana. He also was issued numerous vehicle and traffic tickets, including speeding, reckless driving and unlicensed operation.
Mr. Moore allegedly led police on a multi-county chase that began in Cortland County and ended on Interstate 81 near Adams Center when state police deployed spike strips, deflating both front tires of a pickup truck that had been reported stolen May 31 in the Kilgore, Texas, area.

Trigeminal neuralgia or tic douloureux is severe, often debilitating, facial pain that significantly impairs the patient's quality of life and health. Stereotactic radiosurgery has been shown to provide pain relief in majority of patients treated. However, a common side effect of radiosurgery is facial numbness. Our goal is to maximize pain control while minimizing side effects. To this end, the purpose of this study is to evaluate whether adding a drug, amifostine, at the time of radiosurgery will protect patients from facial numbness.

MASSENA - Twelve years after testifying about his involvement as an international spy, a Madrid native was given the Lou Peters Award, the highest civilian award given out by the FBI.
David G. Rupert spent about seven years from 1994 to 2001 as a spy inside two different terrorist organizations in Ireland, the Real Irish Republican Army and the Continuity Irish Republican Army, as well as their support groups in the U.S.
When I had heard about the award, it didnt mean that much to me, Mr. Rupert said. I didnt rank it as being as big a deal as it was, but it was a very big deal.
Mr. Rupert said he was among heavy hitters from D.C. at the Sun Valley, Utah, ceremony, including the new FBI director, James B. Comey, who was there via Skype, and William H. Webster, former director of both the FBI and the CIA and a retired federal judge.
Mr. Rupert said the award is handed out every year at the ceremony, which usually entertains about 300 people.
We got it this year for the work we did in Ireland, he said of himself and his wife of 19 years, Maureen A.
Mr. Rupert received $1.25 million from the FBI and the U.K.s MI5 agency after being contracted by the U.S. government and put on loan to the British government to infiltrate the Real IRA.
He was raised in Madrid and ran a trucking company in Massena until it went under. He then moved to Chicago and started a trucking business there. The FBIs interest in Mr. Rupert began after it learned of a previous visit to Ireland with his girlfriend at the time.
During that trip, he had met Joe ONeil, an Irish Republican bar owner.
The FBI got hold of a photograph of Mr. Rupert with Mr. ONeil and showed up at Mr. Ruperts Chicago office with the hopes of recruiting him as a spy.
Mr. Rupert said that in 1987 he was hospitalized with a serious illness that put him in a coma for 10 days. He said the near-death experience made him less afraid of the challenges he faced in Ireland.
I probably wouldnt have been able to do this had it not been for that, he said.
Since his wife was with him during the seven years of his involvement, he said, there were times when they were both scared of his being discovered as a spy. She would see me getting into a car with a group of terrorists, he said.
Mr. Ruperts job as an operative with the Real IRA was to transport money from the U.S. support groups to the groups in Ireland, while communicating with his FBI and MI5 handlers through encrypted e-mails.
His involvement with the Real IRA led to his meeting Michael McKevitt, leader of the Real IRA, on several occasions.
Shortly after Mr. Rupert was pulled out of the operation, he was asked to testify at the trial of Mr. McKevitt, who was charged with directing terrorism and being a member of an illegal organization.
Mr. Rupert said at first he refused to testify. After watching a documentary on the victims of the Omagh bombing in Northern Ireland, for which both the Real IRA and the Continuity IRA were responsible, he changed his mind.
The 13-day trial ended with Mr. McKevitt being convicted.
The now retired Mr. Rupert and his wife live with a lot of security. Im on a death list over there, he said. But their wanting me dead and being able to make that happen are two different things.
Mr. Rupert said he and his wife are working on books and movie deals that will tell their story.

Reviewer: James M. Metz, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: July 6, 2005
Presenter: N. Thatcher
Presenter's Affiliation: Christie Hospital, Manchester, UK
Type of Session: Plenary
Gefitinib (IRESSA) is an oral medication that acts as a small molecule inhibitor of EGFR. There have been two Phase II trials demonstrating 250 mg/day has activity in pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC, however a survival advantage has not been shown in the population as a whole. This study was conducted to determine the impact of gefitinib on survival as monotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC previously treated with chemotherapy.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
Taken as a whole, this trial is disappointing and does not show improvement in survival with gefitinib in this population. Unfortunately the biomarker analysis of EGFR was inconclusive. This may in part be due to the fact that tissue was not available for analysis in many of the patients, particularly the Asian and non-smoking patients. Some patients do respond to gefitinib therapy, however, thus far markers predicting response to gefitinib have been elusive. This is in contrast to erlotinib which has shown improved survival and has been tied to the expression of EGFR. Further analysis of the biomarkers from the ISEL study are eagerly awaited. Because the population as a whole does not show a survival advantage with gefitinib, this agent should be considered in Asian patients and never smokers but broad utilization is not warranted at this time. Further clinical trials to identify the specific patient populations that benefit from gefitinib are warranted.
