PETERSBURG - Firefighting crews were slowly making ground in battling the wild fire burning in the Monongahela National Forest Friday, as they continued to work "directly and aggressively on all fronts" to contain the blaze, officials said.

The Inter-Mountain photos by Darin Vance
The wildfire rages on in the Smoke Hole area of the Cheat-Potomac Ranger District of the Monongahela National Forest.
The wildfire in the Monongahela National Forest spans across 1,400 acres.
"We're fighting the fire aggressively," said Robert Beanblossom, public information officer for Monongahela National Forest. "We are working toward complete suppression of the fire."
The blaze, first reported in the Smoke Hole area of the Cheat-Potomac Ranger District of the Monongahela National Forest on Sunday, now spans across 1,400 acres, or about two square miles of forest land and nearby private land. The cause remains under investigation.
U.S. Forest Service officials said Friday the blaze had not spread any further and was now at 30 percent containment, up from 20 percent Thursday.
"One thing we are particularly pleased about during this whole incident is our excellent safety record so far," Beanblossom said.
"There has only been one minor injury reported. We take the safety of the public and firefighters very seriously with anything like this," Beanblossom said. "It's our number one priority."
Officials reported that no structures have been affected, although smoke may be visible in the surrounding area for several days. This is a long-duration fire and a containment date is not predicted at this time, officials said.
A press release from Monongahela National Forest officials said Thursday was "another safe and challenging day."
"Crews had a great day, improving containment and maintaining their safety record," the release stated. "The south end is being mopped up and patrolled, (while the) east side is cooling down nicely."
Crews were also working on the north-west edge of the fire with bulldozers and a helicopter Friday, officials said.
Approximately 150 firefighters and support staff, including four crews, one module, five engines, two bulldozers, and one helicopter, are assisting in fighting the fire.
An emergency closure order is in effect until further notice for the areas of:
- Redman Run Trail (Trail #507) from the North Fork Mountain Trail (Trail #501) to Smoke Hole Road (Grant County Road 23);
- National Forest System Lands (NFS) in Pendleton County between Highway 28/55;
- Pendleton County Road 23 to Eagle Rock;
- NFS lands north of Dry Hollow Creek at the end of Dry Hollow Creek to the northeast boundary of Seneca Rocks Area;
- and NFS lands and Seneca Rocks Area boundary to the northwest boundary of NFS lands and Seneca Rocks on the Cheat/Potomac Ranger District of the Monongahela National Forest.
The order will remain in effect for 120 days, unless the forest supervisor rescinds it.

At last! More than a decade after the Massachusetts high court made judicial history by invalidating a state prohibition on same-sex marriage, a court has finally acknowledged the legal significance of a virtually indisputable characteristic of such prohibitions: their deep-seated religious roots.
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman in DeBoer v. Snyder on March 21 struck down a Michigan same-sex marriage ban adopted by popular vote in 2004. According to Friedman, the many Michigan residents who voted for the ban failed to recognize the federal constitutional difference between living their lives according to their individual religious beliefs and imposing those beliefs by law on the lives of others.
Paraphrasing the First Amendment's free exercise and establishment clauses, he reminded the Michigan electorate that the Constitution that "protects the free exercise of one's faith" is "the same Constitution" that prevents them from "mandating adherence to an established religion."
So, having gone further than any court had gone before — both in recognizing the religious underpinnings of laws against same-sex marriage and in pointing out the obvious tension between such laws and the Constitution's establishment clause — did the judge in DeBoer boldly declare the Michigan ban in violation of that clause?
Unfortunately, he did not. Instead, without further discussion of establishment principles, he went off on a line of reasoning similar to the U.S. Supreme Court's last June in United States v. Windsor when it voided the federal Defense of Marriage Act's nonrecognition of state-approved same-sex marriages.
According to Friedman, the Michigan prohibition, like the DOMA provision the justices struck down in Windsor, treats same-sex couples differently from opposite-sex couples without "a rational basis" and, therefore, runs afoul of the constitutional guarantee of equal protection.
But why "unfortunately" not? For two reasons: the unpersuasiveness of the path taken and the unrealized potential of the path not pursued.
As far as the path taken, Friedman's stated ground for the decision in DeBoer is simply not convincing. The justifications typically offered for banning same-sex marriage seem to me terribly flimsy, but they are not so utterly devoid of logic as to fail to satisfy the rational-basis requirement as that requirement has been applied by the Supreme Court and other courts over the years.
To his credit, Friedman, unlike the Supreme Court majority in Windsor, does not try to make a conclusion of no rational basis more plausible by finding that the lawmaker — in this instance, the Michigan electorate — acted primarily out of animus toward gays and lesbians. He expressly disclaims any such finding.
The majority's finding in Windsor — that the U.S. Congress that passed DOMA and the U.S. president (Bill Clinton) who signed it into law were acting largely out of such invidious and hateful motives — does a disservice not only to that Congress and president but also to the result that the court reached.
As far as the path not pursued, the outcome in DeBoer, like the outcome in Windsor, is far more defensible under a religion-based line of reasoning than under the one ultimately taken. Neither the voter-adopted ban in DeBoer nor the federal legislation in Windsor is fairly understood as failing a rational-basis test that historically demands merely the thinnest sliver of rational explanation for a law to survive.
Both laws, however, are readily understood as examples of lawmakers (the Michigan voters in one instance, and Congress and the president in the other), consciously or unconsciously, incorporating into law their religious beliefs or (in the case of Congress and the president) the religious beliefs of many of their constituents. So understood, such laws send a message of government endorsement of religion that calls for their invalidation under the establishment clause.
To charge lawmakers with giving undue weight to religion is worlds apart from charging them with acting out of a desire to demean and victimize gays and lesbians. The latter charge is tantamount to a statement that the lawmakers are lawless individuals and fundamentally bad people. The former charge is hardly a compliment; it certainly implies that the lawmakers have an imperfect understanding of constitutional bounds. Nonetheless, it does not come close to suggesting that they are despicable persons, unworthy of holding office or casting a vote.
The establishment clause treats government endorsement of religion as a bad thing. It does not suggest, however, that religion itself is bad or that a lawmaker who oversteps the line between permissible and impermissible government accommodation of religion must be a bad person.
Similar to the free exercise clause — its companion clause in the First Amendment — it assigns great value to, and seeks to safeguard, individual religious liberty.
Prohibitions on same-sex marriage deserve the same fate as the DOMA provision struck down in Windsor. However, rather than rely on the Supreme Court's dubious inference in Windsor that laws treating same-sex couples unequally are best understood as mean-spirited acts of legislative animus, courts should take to heart Friedman's insightful comments in DeBoer about the religious roots of such laws and strike them down under the establishment clause.

my $c = $::application-> Clipboard; # paste data my $string = $c-> text; my $image = $c-> image; my $other = $c-> fetch('Other type'); # copy datum $c-> text( $string); # copy data $c-> open; $c-> text( $string); $c-> image( $image); $c-> store( $image); $c-> close; # clear $c-> clear;
Different systems provide spectrum of predefined data types, but the toolkit uses only three of these - ascii text, utf8 text, and image. It does not limit, however, the data format being one of these three types - an application is free to register its own formats. Both predefined and newly defined data formats are described by a string, and the three predefined formats are represented by 'Text', 'UTF8', and 'Image' string constants.
The most frequent usage of Prima::Clipboard is to preform two tasks - copying and pasting. Both can be exemplified by the following:
my $c = $::application-> Clipboard; # paste my $string = $c-> text; # copy $c-> text( $string);
This simplistic code hides other aspects of Prima::Clipboard class.
First, the default clipboard is accessible by an implicit name call, as an object named 'Clipboard'. This scheme makes it easily overridable. A more important point is, that the default clipboard object might be accompanied by other clipboard objects. This is the case with X11 environment, which defines also 'Primary' and 'Secondary' system clipboards. Their functionality is identical to the default clipboard, however. "get_standard_clipboards()" method returns strings for the clipboards, provided by the system.
Second, code for fetching and storing multi-format data is somewhat different. Clipboard is viewed as a shared system resource, and have to be 'opened', before a process can grab it, so other processes can access the clipboard data only after the clipboard is 'closed' ( Note: It is not so under X11, where there the clipboard locking is advisory, and any process can grab clipboard at any time) .
"fetch()" and "store()" implicitly call "open()" and "close()", but these functions must be called explicitly for the multi-format data handling. The code below illustrates the said:
# copy text and image if ( $c-> open) { $c-> clear; $c-> store('Text', $string); $c-> store('Image', $image); $c-> close; } # check present formats and paste if ( $c-> open) { if ( $c-> format_exists('Text')) { $string = $c-> fetch('Text'); } # or, check the desired format alternatively my %formats = map { $_ => 1 } $c-> get_formats; if ( $formats{'Image'}) { $image = $c-> fetch('Image'); } $c-> close; }
The clear() call in the copying code is necessary so the newly written data will not mix with the old.
At last, the newly registered formats can be accessed by a program:
my $myformat = 'Very Special Old Pale Data Format'; if ( $c-> register_format($myformat)) { $c-> open; $c-> clear; $c-> store('Text', 'sample text'); $c-> store($myformat', 'sample ## text'); $c-> close; }
The default action of "PasteText" is to query first if 'Text' format is available, and if so, return the ascii text scalar. If "Prima::Application::wantUnicodeInput" is set, 'UTF8' format is checked before resorting to 'Text'. It is clear that this scheme is not the only possibly needed, for example, an application may want to ignore ASCII text, or, ignore UTF8 text but have "Prima::Application::wantUnicodeInput" set, etc.
Only the predefined formats, and the formats registered via "register_format()" are returned. There is no way to see if a format, not registered before, is present.
FORMAT_STRING SCALAR ------------------------------------ Text text string in ASCII UTF8 text string in UTF8 Image Prima::Image object other formats binary scalar value
NB. All custom formats treated as a binary data. In case when the data are transferred between hosts with different byte orders no implicit conversions are made. It is up to the programmer whether to convert the data in a portable format, or leave it as is. The former option is of course preferable. As far as the author knows, the Storable module from CPAN collection provides the system-independent conversion routines.

The work of the Applied Linguistics Research Group encompasses a wide range of research interests. We place emphasis on multidisciplinarity, empirically-driven theory advancement, and the impact of these advancements in applied contexts such as foreign language pedagogy, cultural integration, lifelong learning, and technologically-driven learning environments and interventions. We conduct research in bilingual cognition, corpus linguistics, cross-cultural communication, discourse analysis, first and second language acquisition, health and professional communication, language teaching methodology, models of language learning, multilingualism, and writing systems.
We employ a range of diverse and innovative methodological approaches, using paradigms from experimental psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology and neuroscience, ethnomethodology, conversation analysis, micro-ethnography, and corpus-based analysis.
The expertise of our staff is utilised in a number of research centres within the University, such as the Centre for Learning and Teaching (CfLaT), iLAB:learn, and the Centre for Research in Linguistics and Language Sciences (CRiLLS).
You can find out more details about the work we do, including new publications, funding, engagement activities and impact, presentations and keynote lectures by downloading our research newsletter. To view the work of individual group members please visit our staff pages.
We work within these current research clusters:
My research involves the micro-analysis of video recorded, real world interaction (i.e. activities which would have taken place even if they were not being researched). I am interested in language in use and social conduct in a wide range of settings. As such, my research approach is heavily informed by ethnomethodology, and the related analytic methods of conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis.
My approach to the study of intercultural communication is informed by these ethnomethodological principles, and particularly by the work of Aug Nishizaka, who was the first to demonstrate that (and how) 'interculturality' is something which can be seen to emerge from social conduct, rather than something which determines social conduct.
The research contexts I am particularly interested in are those in which social identities - such as nationality, ethnicity or gender - are relevant to the institutional goal of the settings, or are treated as relevant by the people involved in the interaction. At present, this includes (1) interactions involving students in multilingual, international universities (2) TV political talk shows, (3) haggling in international market places, and (4) online voice-based chat rooms.
I am happy to consider supervising any potential postgraduate research projects which are related to the above.

Much of my research investigates spoken interaction in 'international' and 'multilingual' settings, with a particular focus on how people learn - that is, how they learn to adapt to new situations, tasks, professional work mandates, as well as adapt to or accommodate people with pragmatic, linguistic and cultural backgrounds different to their own. I've published books and articles on English as a 'Lingua Franca', on communication in international Commodity Negotiations, Second Language Use and Learning in workplace settings, interaction in Online Chatrooms, Family Courts, Software Helplines, and Debt Recovery. I work with video- and audio-recordings of naturally-occurring ('real-life') interactions and apply the methodologies of micro-ethnography and Conversation Analysis in attempts to understand what's going on in interaction. I view 'culture' from interpretive perspectives and try to apply theories and ideas from Globalisation and Post-Structuralism. I welcome PhD proposals that engage with any of my research interests.

My background is in sociolinguistics, an area I continue to focus on in my research. I prefer to work from, or with, a grounded theory kind of orientation, using an ethnographic approach. I orient towards interpretive analyses, preferring to work with naturally occurring data. I am especially interested in concepts, such as 'markedness' and 'endangerment', particularly (but not only) when linked to Austronesian languages. I am attracted to PhD project proposals that would like to engage in (qualitatively-oriented) research about: 'Intercultural communication' (in particular, where issues of power might be seen as salient); 'Processes of language and cultural 'change' (including, language and cultural 'borrowing'; and code-switching); and 'Language description and endangerment' (where sociocultural aspects of context are incorporated for their relevance).

Rachelle Vessey's work focuses on cross-cultural language ideologies (i.e. explicit or implicit beliefs about and attitudes towards languages). To date, her research has predominantly examined the similarities and differences in representations of the English and French languages, and in particular the Canadian context. More generally, she uses corpus linguistics and (critical) discourse analysis to study language ideologies with relation to identity, nationalism, language policy, and news and social media; recently, she has also started working on World Englishes and superdiversity. Rachelle would be interested in supervising research students focusing on one or more of these areas.

Virgil Goode Hopes to Use Romney's Flip-Flops Against Him in Third Party Presidential Bid
Former congressman Virgil Goode (R-VA), best known for his malicious attacks on Muslims and immigrants, is running as the Constitution Party's candidate for president. While as a third party candidate he likely to get little support, Public Policy Polling in a recent survey of Virginia voters found that "Goode is pulling 9% of the vote, bringing Romney down seven points to 35% and hardly moving Obama to 49%." Goode yesterday in an interview with Steve Deace, a conservative talk show host and Romney critic, said that he seeks to exploit Romney's flip-flops on issues like abortion rights, gay rights and gun control to win voters who want to support a candidate who "hasn't wavered on pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, Second Amendment and those things."
"Do you trust someone that's been in many different positions on those three key areas or do you trust someone that has a solid record," Goode told Deace, "and I'd submit that my record in terms of consistency is much more consistent than Governor Romney's."
People will wake up and see there's not much difference between Romney and Obama. You've got a choice for a true conservative, one that will stand up, that hasn't wavered on pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, Second Amendment and those things. If they wake up and see the differences and want somebody that's not going to be just a weak, soft difference between Obama and Romney, somebody that's got a solid record, they'll vote for me and we could carry Virginia and we could carry some other states too.
On your social issues, it's a question of how much do you trust Romney. If you believe that he's made a complete conversion on right to life and on gay marriage, then he is better than Obama. But I would wonder if Romney got in office if he would do like he did as governor of Massachusetts, you know he ordered the issuance of the first gay marriage certificates in Massachusetts as governor, I would hope that he wouldn't revert to that but I don't know if you could trust him. I mean, I have a solid record of opposing gay marriage and I have a solid pro-life voting record and I don't think you'd have to worry about me with the Second Amendment either because I know Romney at one time was opposed to so-called assault weapons and then he said some negatives about the NRA but now he says he is pro-NRA. Do you trust someone that's been in many different positions on those three key areas or do you trust someone that has a solid record, and I'd submit that my record in terms of consistency is much more consistent than Governor Romney's.

Managing wireless settings: WICD
Hi folks, I had some wrangling with my new laptop I setup for testing 3.0 beta 3. Specifically the wireless setup and then to find a decent system for managing wireless connections as the included options are not the best. I posted elsewhere about fixing the settings for my wireless device an Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG chipset requiring some ucode from the Intel/linux site to work at all. That aside, once I got the wireless working I wanted to bop around town and get connected in various places. As you know beta 3 comes with Network-Manager installed which is not very reliable and does not provide much info for scanning networks to connect to. Sometimes for me it would crash requiring a reboot. Looking around a fair amount of people like WICD which is a replacement for Network-Manager. It shows much more info, supports automatic connections, and will connect before the desktop is fully loaded making you immediately online. Sounds great but I had problems with it only working at home! Once at a coffee shop it would connect and then wait interminably to recieve an IP address. Which never comes. Eventually I was able to solve this problem with 2 things: First, to delete the additional lines in /etc/network/interfaces which is mentioned at the link below. Second, I switched the DHCP system from dhclient to dhcpcd. This can be done from synaptic and then in the WICD prefs, you can select which DHCP client to use though they recommend (auto). Anyhow, maybe some people will prefer to use WICD over Network Manager, with dhcpcd. jonathan adams leonard http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php
Conceptronic C54RU
Hi ! I'm new and i'm looking for some informations how to recognize my C54RU. Thank you in advance Peter
New developments on the kernel front
Watch this space...
IP addressing not getting
My laptop with Intel pro (394ABG) , is not at all working with this version, network manager is always trying to get ip address and its not getting that it seems, some times it will show connected but again it is will disconnect .... crm
Hi, I did a complete reinstall YET AGAIN of 3b3....tried multiboot with XP and overwrote my 64studio....anyhow. I can confirm here the necessity of deleting the extra entries in the interfaces file. Tonight after all this sequence I am in a cafe with wifi and WICD refused to get a DHCP address until I deleted the extra entries in interfaces and reboot. THEN! It was connected when desktop came up so not bad... jonathan adams leonard
I use WICD too as the tool
I use WICD too as the tool for managing network connections with 64studio 3.0, and it's my first choice when I don't need the extra functionalities of NM. After a fresh install, Network Manger wasn't able to properly work with Broadcom BCM4311 controller with B43 driver and the closed firmware. I installed it from wicd repository. This is the line to be added to /etc/apt/sources.list: `deb http://apt.wicd.net hardy extras` I get an average performance, that means I didn't notice any differences between WICD and Network Manager in terms of bandwidth and signal strength. The comparison is made with Jaunty that is installed in dual boot on my laptop. I can't say nothing about native windows performances, but I suppose they're similar, because the firmware used is the same. I've never had troubles with dhclient, that is, I use the default setup. __@kaimerra__: [This guide](http://www.ubuntugeek.com/using-ipw3945-instead-iwl3945-in-hardy.html) shows a way to improve the performances with your card, it's worth a try...
Fresh Install....
HI just did another fresh install and upgrade of 64studio3b3. To install WICD I added this repo to synaptic 3rd party sources: deb http://apt.wicd.net jaunty extras Following WICD install instructions here: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php From the instructions, adding the key was necessary for 64ST3b3: Terminal: wget -q http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - Then refresh in synaptic and search for WICD and install it. Note: After I rebooted the desktop was then using WICD to manage wired and wireless settings including a dock widget....however it was not showing any wireless networks AT ALL! Go into preferences of WICD and enter 'wlan0' as the wireless device. It correctly showed 'eth0' for wired device, but in my case after a fresh install sequence the wireless field was blank which is strange. After entering wlan0, I got action. Anyhow, we'll see how this fairs around town. Thanks, jonathan adams leonard system: Compaq nc6400 laptop with Intel Wireless 3945ABG Chipset (requires manual microcode added to /lib/firmware)
I have a intel 3945abg as well. I get horrible performance with it. It looks like 64 studio beta 3 uses iwl3945, but im not sure which version. If my laptop is at my desk, where with WinXP, I get 3/5 bars of signal. I can't even see the wireless netowrk in 64Studio. I am sitting 2 feet away from the wireless router, and I have 54% signal. That is very poor. I wonder if it is in powersaving mode? This was adjustable on windows from the driver panel, im not sure how to go about it in linux. Any ideas?

Police in Tucson on Wednesday were poring over a journal they say a 17-year-old girl kept while she and her two sisters were imprisoned by their mother and stepfather in their home for up to two years.
Tucson Police Chief Roberto Villasenor said investigators were looking for evidence as they build a criminal case against the 32-year-old mother and 34-year-old stepfather.
Investigators say the two younger girls, ages 12 and 13, escaped through the window of the bedroom they shared and alerted a neighbor Tuesday after the stepfather tried to break down the room's door and was brandishing a knife.
Police later discovered the 17-year-old was being held separately from her sisters in a nearby room. The three girls were malnourished and dirty, police said, and told officers they hadn't taken a bath in up to six months.
They are now at a group home in the custody of a state child welfare agency.
The mother and stepfather face multiple counts of kidnapping and child abuse, and the man also faces one count of sexual abuse.
Colorado lawmaker quits to halt recall
A third Democratic Colorado state senator facing possible recall after voting for gun-control bills said Wednesday she will resign.
The resignation of Sen. Evie Hudak, of Denver's western suburbs, came less than a week before opponents planned to turn in petitions seeking her recall. The resignation means Democrats will appoint an interim successor, guaranteeing they'll keep a one-seat majority in the Senate next session.
Two other Democratic senators were ousted from office in September recalls. Both were replaced by Republicans.
The recall efforts came after Colorado's Democratic Legislature and governor this year approved ammunition magazine limits and expanded background checks.
Man charged with fraudulent fall
A Maryland man accused of staging a fall on a banana peel in a Washington, D.C., Metro station elevator has been charged with fraud.
Metro says 42-year-old Maurice Owens sued the agency for $15,000, saying he injured his left leg in a fall at the Potomac Avenue station in August.
Surveillance video shows Owens dropping a banana peel as he looks in the direction of the camera. He steps on the peel as the elevator door opens, and the video shows him thrusting himself forward and falling to the ground.
The claim against Metro was thrown out.
Convicted Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger has been moved out of Massachusetts to a federal lock-up in Brooklyn, N.Y. Bulger, 84, had been held in Plymouth, Mass., since his capture in Santa Monica in 2011 after more than 16 years as a fugitive.

Friendship Bracelets
I've been making Friendship Bracelets for years with kids in groups. It's a great "getting-to-know-you" activity when a group is just starting out. This activity would be equally fitting for a birthday party, sleep-over, daycare activity or just a rainy day. Heck, you don't even need a "group" to do it.
What To Do:
1. Gather up some straws. You'll also need scissors and a pipe-cleaner for each participant.
2. Cut straws into equal-sized "beads". Depending upon the age of the participants, you may need do this beforehand.
3. Give each child a set of "beads" and a pipecleaner.
Each child should get a set of beads ALL of the SAME COLOR!
One child gets ALL yellow.
One child gets ALL green, etc. You'll see why in a minute!
4. Make each color of the "beads" have a corresponding question. The leader of the group asks a question, or provides a sentence stem, that elicts a response from each participant which helps all members get to know each other.
Here are some examples:
YELLOW: Tell us your name.
GREEN: What's your favorite book?
BLUE: What's your favorite movie?
ORANGE: What's your favorite sport (whether you play it or not)?
PURPLE: What's your favorite school subject?
RED: Tell about something you can do really well.
As you go around the table and each child answers the question, the child holding the corresponding "bead" color gives a bead to each child. By the end of the game, each child will have one of each color!
This is an excellent way to help kids get to know each other, yet also have something to do to keep their fingers busy while they practice "listening" to each other as well!
Have you done a similar activity in the past? How have you done it? I'd love to hear!
As always from Kidlutions, we wish you Happy Parenting {and Teaching}!

I already recevied a question about where I bought my colored straws. I purchased them at a big-box retailer when I went into town to shop (seriously, when you live in the middle of nowhere like I do, you have to drive about 1.25 hours to get to any shopping), but you can easily find them here...no driving!

An Algiers neighborhood was still in the dark Thursday morning after overnight storms knocked out power. Entergy said the power should be back on around 11:30 a.m. Thursday.
The power's been out since 8:30 p.m. Wednesday night for about 500 homes off Woodland Drive between Cambridge Court and Warwick Court. Our news partners at FOX 8 said strong storms Wednesday knocked over a tree, which hit a power line. The power has been out since then, FOX 8 said.
Entergy around 4 a.m. Thursday tweeted that crews were removing the tree and repairing damage to the power lines in the area.

Everyone who dies suffers a cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can revive patients after they experience unexpected cardiac arrests and restore them to vigorous health. But for persons with progressive chronic illness, CPR is more likely to prolong death than prevent it. The thoughtful guidelines promulgated by the American Medical Association (AMA) concerning do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders1 deserve careful reading by all physicians, but they do not address several important questions. Furthermore, on some issues, reasonable physicians will disagree, perhaps intensely.
When Is CPR Futile?
It is irrational to provide CPR when it would be futile. But while this general rule seems obvious, it may be difficult to decide, in particular cases, whether CPR would be "futile." The term futile is used in many different ways.2 In a strict sense, treatment is futile when it offers no benefit to the patient, because maximal therapy has failed and physiologic improvement is

The Parker Hannifin Corporation has provided a $125,000 gift to the 2013-2014 annual campaign of The Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges (OFIC).
4/8/2014, 4:36 p.m.
With a cumulative giving total of nearly $1.7 million, The Parker Hannifin Corporation has supported the mission of OFIC to provide access to independent higher education to Ohio's students for 61 years. The company has designated $100,000 of the gift specifically to be distributed equally among all 34 OFIC member institutions across the state to be used at the discretion of college administration in the areas of greatest need such as financial aid, technology upgrades, library and laboratory needs, or for support of educational programs.
The remaining $25,000 of the gift will provide scholarships for Engineering or science majors from Auglaize, Clermont, Cuyahoga, Defiance, Franklin, Fulton, Lake, Lorain, Lucas, Mahoning, Medina, Montgomery, Portage, Preble, Summit or Union County. Parker Hannifin is currently providing scholarships to 18 students enrolled in OFIC member colleges and universities.
Allen Sanderlin, a junior studying Neuroscience at Kenyon College, received a scholarship from Parker Hannifin Corporation through OFIC. His goal is to pursue an MD/PhD in neuroscience, and he wrote to his donor, "I would like to express my utmost gratitude for your support. I am the first person in my family to attend a liberal arts college and will be the first to pursue a graduate degree. There is no doubt that your support through the Ohio Scholars Program has helped make my education a reality. In addition to Kenyon's well-rounded academics, I will have had several research opportunities by the time I enter graduate school. I am a contributing author for research projects in both my freshman and sophomore year, and my findings have been presented at biological conferences in Boston and San Francisco. Never in my wildest dreams did I envision such possibilities as an undergraduate, let alone before my junior year. By allowing me to concentrate on my studies, your assistance has enabled me to follow my aspirations and honor my family's sacrifices. I thank you for making my present possible and my future bright".

Jomeokee Music and Arts Festival is pleased to announce additional artists to its first annual festival lineup. Patterson Hood & the Downtown Rumblers, the Captain Midnight Band, and The Danberrys have joined the lineup and Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band) and Jeff Sipe have been added to a stellar cast performing a unique Everyone Orchestra set.
The Drive-By Truckers don't play mediocre live shows. It's pretty much a guarantee that any given audience in any given city is set to have their collective mind blown as they sit in a jam-packed theater, watching the techs set up the mics and guitars and set out the signature bottles of Jack Daniels and Patron on their respective stations on the stage.
Jason Isbell is one of those artists able to magnificently personify a region of the United States through his performance; he and his band are undoubtedly from the South, Muscle Shoals, Alabama to be exact. On Thursday night at The Fox Theater in Boulder they treated the audience to some musical southern hospitality in the finest sense.
The Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama this past weekend has officially cemented itself among the heavy-hitting top-notch summer festivals of the year, both in terms of musical content and festavarian (read: festival-goers) satisfaction.
On a tour supporting this year's release Go Go Boots, beginning on February 16th in Pennsylvania, the Drive-By Truckers have played a merciless schedule of nineteen dates that ended with a two night run at the Ogden Theater in Denver on Saturday.
"Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be, Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee." As I packed up the car and prepared for my road trip, I couldn't shake the lyrics of 'Tennessee Jed' off my mind. Chicago, IL to Manchester, TN – 534 miles. This was going to be my triumphant return to the festival I had grown to love in its first three years, but hadn't been able to get back to since 2004. Bonnaroo,

LISBON - An attorney from the Ohio Public Defender's Office in Columbus will defend Andrew Irwin in his return trip as a murder defendant in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court.
Judge C. Ashley Pike ordered the appointment Wednesday at the request of Irwin's appellate counsel, Margaret Amer Robey, who filed a motion Monday asking for appointment of trial counsel and the scheduling of a bond hearing.
A bond hearing and status conference will be set later this month, once its determined which attorney from the state public defender's office is handling the case.
Irwin, 28, remains in a state prison serving 15 years to life for the August 2006 stabbing death of 21-year-old Emily Foreman, who died of multiple stab wounds after being attacked in her Liverpool Township home. A jury found him guilty of murder in 2007, but the 7th District Court of Appeals overturned the conviction in September and the Supreme Court of Ohio denied the prosecution's appeal of the overturned conviction.
A new trial was ordered by the appellate court based on ineffective assistance of counsel and alleged abuse of discretion by Pike, who denied Irwin a new trial shortly after his first one. His attorney at the time, George Kafantaris, claimed to have new evidence, which was presented after Irwin was convicted.
Kafantaris has since been disbarred related to improper dealings with clients in Trumbull County. He reported as required Thursday night at the Columbiana County Jail to serve a 20-day sentence for contempt of court related to some of his actions during the Irwin trial.
He's been ordered to pay for his stay, but Columbiana County will end up footing part of the bill for his former client's new murder trial.
State law requires a county to provide legal counsel to represent indigent defendants who can't afford their own legal counsel. Kafantaris had been hired counsel, but Irwin was declared indigent for his appeal and remains indigent.
Under most circumstances, a judge would appoint an attorney from the nonprofit corporation known as the Criminal Defense Company, a group of Columbiana County attorneys who take on public defender cases under contract with the county commissioners. The commissioners pay a set amount to the CDC and each attorney is paid a contract amount by the CDC depending on the types and numbers of cases they handle.
In this case, Robey requested the appointment of the Ohio Public Defender's Office, noting in her motion that the OPDO had been in contact with Irwin and his family since the time of his conviction and expressed a willingness to accept appointment as his trial counsel.
When asked who will pay for the Ohio public defender, OPDO spokesman Amy Borror said the attorney or attorneys on the case will keep track of their hours and the bill will be sent to the county, with the state then reimbursing the county for 35 percent of the cost. The county will be required to pay 65 percent of the cost.
She said the hourly rate and mileage will be worked out with the county.

MOUNT HOLLY — A Florence man pleaded guilty in court yesterday to fatally stabbing a 22-year-old Westville woman two years ago in Southampton.
Stephen Headley, 30, entered a guilty plea for murder in Superior Court in Burlington County in connection with the death of Nicole Ayres. He faces 30 years to life in prison.
The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office will seek a life sentence for Headley.
Headley will remain in jail on $750,000 bail until his sentencing on Aug. 3.
Ayres' body was found on a pathway leading to the Southampton municipal athletic field complex on Buddstown Road in Sept. 2010. An autopsy showed that Ayres was stabbed multiple times in the back, neck and head with a knife.
Several hours after the stabbing, Headley asked his grandmother, who lived in Medford, to drive him to his mother's house in Pemberton. After arriving there, Headley fled from the house, ran into the roadway and was hit by a pickup truck and severely injured.
He suffered a fractured back, two fractured ankles and multiple fractured ribs in the collision.
While in the hospital, Headley was arrested and charged with Ayres' murder.
Ayres was a former Fordham University student who spent two years on the college softball team. She attended Deptford High School.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
German Literature
"Für Naturen wie die meine ist eine Reise unschätzbar: Sie belebt, berichtigt, belehrt und bildet." - Goethe, der Weltbürger (Citizen of the World)
Biographical Summary
Germany and the world celebrated Goethe's 250th birthday in 1999. The German novelist, poet, playwright, and scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in Frankfurt am Main on August 28, 1749. But he didn't stay there. (See "Places identified with Goethe" below.) Goethe (GUEH-tah) is a giant in German and world literature. In fact, he coined the term Weltliteratur and spoke Greek, Latin, French, English and Italian. Aside from its quality, the sheer volume of work during his 82-year lifetime is impressive. Among other works, Goethe wrote a worldwide, best-selling novel (Die Leiden des Jungen Werthers, 1774), volumes of poetry, and several dramas, including his masterwork: Faust a massive two-volume work that was not entirely finished by the time of the poet's death. Goethe also dabbled in painting and science ("Farbenlehre"/"Theory of Color"), although his greatest achievements by far were in literature.
Photos > Goethe's House in Weimar
In the early 21st century, the "Gothic Shakespeare" has become a somewhat controversial figure in the German-speaking world. A landslide of Goethe biographies coinciding with the 250th anniversary of his birth (in the 18th century) brought into question many aspects of the person who became the king of German literature. Many of his biographers have tried to demystify the legend and shed more light on the man by questioning everything from his sexual preferences to his religious views. But no one can dispute Goethe's impact on Germany's literary legacy as well as Weltliteratur.
Goethe's works include:
- Goethe-Gedichte (Goethe Poetry) with English translations
Works including: "Erlkönig," "Nähe des Geliebten," "Totentanz," "Wandrers Nachtlied II," and "Faust" excerpts
- Götz von Berlichingen (1773, drama)
- Die Leiden des jungen Werthers / The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774, novel)
- Erlkönig (1782, poem)
- Iphigenie auf Tauris (1787, dramatic verse)
- Faust, ein Fragment (1790, drama)
- Metamorphose der Pflanzen / Metamorphosis of Plants (1790, scientific treatise)
- Römische Elegien / Roman Elegies (1793, poems)
- Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre / Wilhelm Meister's Years of Apprenticeship (1795-96)
- Zur Farbenlehre / Theory of Color (1805-10, scientific treatise)
- Die Wahlverwandschaften / Elective Affinities (1809, novel)
- Italienische Reise / Italian Journey (1816, 1829) > Text (Web)
- West-östlicher Divan / Divan of East and West (1819)
- Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre / Wilhelm Meister's Travels (1821-29)
- Faust I (1808) & Faust II (1827, 1832, dramatic verse)
- J.W. Goethe - Projekt Gutenberg (Werke online)

SFJFF Film Screening
Portrait of Wally, 2012, 90 min.
Date & Time:Thursday May 01, 2014 07:00 PM to 09:00 PM
Location:The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, 2121 Allston Way, Berkeley
Portrait of Wally (2012, 90 min, Dir. Andrew Shea)
Screening with screenwriter/producer David D'Arcy
The film traces the history of Egon Schiele's iconic 1912 painting from its origins as a gesture of affection toward his young lover to the theft of the painting from Lea Bondi to its surprise resurfacing when it turns up at Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan in 1997. "[A] bombshell! 'Portrait of Wally' isn't just about stolen art: It's about cultural skulduggery, political sleaze, institutional hypocrisy and the virtues of persistence."
The screening will be followed by a conversation between David D'Arcy, the film's producer and screenwriter, and Berkeley Law adjunct faculty Carla Shapreau, an international authority on reclaimed cultural property from the Holocaust.

I just wanted everyone's take on this subject....
My opinion is that, if you are undefeated, but haven't fought the best competition "within reasonable weight classes" that you could've fought, hence you have a padded record, does that make you great? I say HELL NO to that.
But if you have fought the best opposition out there, again "within reason" to weight, and have some losses on there, but are able to bounce back and have great fights and against more quality opponents, does that make you great? I say yes.....
Perfect examples....look at the top 10 P4P lists....arr any of the fighters on there "undefeated".....discuss please.

depends. some fighters have "bad" loses on their record. By that i mean fights they should have won. Going undefeated means even on a bad night u still pull of a win. Thats a quality a great has.
However, if u retire undefeated, but avoided the best competition it means nothing compared to guys who have loses but fought everyone.

text: For you web developers, what services do you typically use to accept credit cards online? I need the ability to accept credit card payments, but I have such a low volume right now that I don't want to pay any monthly fee (and instead pay a percentage of each transaction). I've been using PayPal for a while, but they aren't completely international friendly, and I've heard too many horror stories of businesses who have been mistreated by them (whose account have been shut down for no apparent reason and unable to receive their funds). They're also lower on the totem pole in terms of what's deemed "professional." I've been trying to use Google Checkout for a while, but I don't want anything tied to my personal gmail account and instead want to create a totally separate account under my business email address (david at developcents....) However, every time I've tried to create an account, I've been unable to. I'm a geek, and I can tell that the system is fundamentally broken.

Road Construction
Seniors, you know deadlines for colleges are approaching. You are likely elbows-deep in essays and applications. You may have attended a really cool College Application Completion event this past month at your high school, at a nearby high school, or up at the UW at Admissions Workshop Weekend, to kick-start your application season or to make progress on clicking "submit" to your reach, solid, and safety schools.
These events (part of the Road Map to College Campaign) are happening this year because multiple organizations came together under the assumption, "If we all work together, more can happen." The participating organizations may be familiar to you: College Success Foundation (CSF), Northwest Educational Loan Association (NELA), College Access Now (CAN), Community Center for Education Results (CCER), our local schools and school districts, and of course, Dream Project. We all work directly with high schoolers throughout the Puget Sound to support college-readiness. We all do it in slightly different ways, with different numbers of students, and with different outcomes. But the bottom line is, we ALL want to see more of this year's seniors step onto a college campus next fall compared to the numbers in years past.
The road to collaboration is not easy, though. Believe it or not, we don't all get into a room and magically come out with the same ideas, the same goals, and the same strategies for how to increase college-going rates. And what about paying for the new and innovative ideas or projects we do have? You'd think that adults (many of whom struggled to go to college and to navigate the system to become the change that's needed in this region) would be able to take their knowledge and skills and work with other adults to make big things happen. But if that were the case, there wouldn't be a persistent higher education opportunity gap in our state (in other words, you'd be just as likely to get a college degree as anyone else, regardless of your skin color or how much money your parents make).
Somehow, however, it's working. The Dream Project is thankful to the regional partners who have committed resources to this campaign. And thanks to our 550 mentors who are volunteering at these events. Over 1,000 seniors have come to these events so far. They've reported starting out at the events with nothing or with just a rough draft and leaving the event with final drafts or completed applications! We don't know yet if more students will go on to college because of these events, but we do know that the next step for our seniors is FAFSA completion. Watch for those event dates coming soon to roadmaptocollege.org!
In the mean time, if you haven't made it to one of these events yet or if you'd like support finishing what you've started on your applications or essays, have no fear! There are still two more events you can attend:
Renton High School, Saturday November 17, 2012, 10:00AM – 12:30PM
Seattle Public Library (Downtown Branch), Saturday December 1, 11:00AM-5:30PM

CAMDEN -- Douglas E. Oliver, 25, also known as "Bird," of Wrightstown, pleaded guilty today before U.S. District Judge Renee Marie Bumb to a one-count federal indictment that charges him with possession of a firearm by a previously convicted felon.
Judge Bumb continued the defendant detention and scheduled sentencing for May 30.
At his plea hearing, Oliver admitted that on October 13, 2006, at approximately 8:45 p.m., he was in possession of a loaded Hi-Point .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol. Oliver admitted that prior to being found in possession of the firearm he had been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than one year in a court in the State of New Jersey.
On Oct 13, law enforcement officers were in the area of the Browns Mills Apartments looking for Oliver who was wanted on an arrest warrant in connection with a drug distribution investigation. Officers spotted Oliver get into a vehicle while carrying a black box.
The officers followed the vehicle for a short distance and placed Oliver under arrest after the vehicle pulled into a driveway.
The loaded firearm was located in the black box which Oliver had put into the vehicle's back seat area when he got into the car.
The charge to which Oliver pleaded guilty carries a statutory maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a fine of $250,000.

Black soldier fly 101
I became intrigued by black
soldier flies a year ago, but quickly
realized that we didn't have enough food scraps to grow these hungry
larvae. Now that we've tapped
into the community's waste, it's time to
revisit black soldier flies. In the rest of this lunchtime
I'll explain why we think black soldier flies are worth adding to our
farm and how we plan to go about it, so today I just want to talk a bit
about the flies themselves.

That's great! We learned about BSF last year as well when they invaded our compost. At first we freaked, thinking they were a bad thing. Just a little research, though, told us quite the opposite.
We're hoping to harvest some this year, though I haven't quite figured out what method. I just know my chickens will be thrilled, as well as my plants! Nathan

You'll have to record your adventures on your blog! As you can tell, I'm still in the learning stages with black soldier flies and can use all of the real life information I can get.
Comment by Mon Feb 28 18:27:40 2011—
so where do we get these flying worms?
Comment by Fri Feb 24 15:13:39 2012—
Out of the air if you live in the right area. In other words, they're wild and can be attracted to your garden with a little care.
Comment by Fri Feb 24 15:27:00 2012—
I got freaked out when i saw this on my room, and even more when i saw a larvae, then i had to look on the web to know what species where they, and then i found your site. I was just curious in knowing how they got in my room and suddenly more of those started to appear, that's when i saw larvaes in some old wet socks that i had in my room, apparently the BSF laid their eggs in there. So i guess that's how they "spontaneously generated" in my room. Now the only question i have is how they got in my room on the first place hehe, i have a patio outside but no idea how they got in here since there is a wall between the patio and my room.
I just wanted to share my experience in an urban area and if i may ask if you know a site where i can learn more about these?? Thanks!
Comment by Fri Sep 28 05:43:17 2012—
Adrian --- That's hilarious! You don't need to worry --- black soldier flies are extremely harmless. If you clean up your socks, chances are they'll go away.
Comment by Fri Sep 28 08:04:26 2012—
I have a great crop growing in my worm bin. They appeared spontaneously last summer. I live in Albuquerque, NM. They are continuing to reproduce in my bin this winter; I have it indoors.
Comment by Wed Jan 23 21:10:18 2013—
Can anyone tell me how to control ants in a bsfl bin or I guess how to eliminate them completely with out harming the larvae?

The best way naturally way to discourage ants is to surround the area with DE Diatomaceous earth and dry molasses. Reapply as needed.

I've seen in a few places to use DE AROUND the bin to keep ants out.
I've been using a moat but I left town for a week and it dried up and now my bin is infested.
Can I use DE in the bin to kill the ants or will it also harm the larvae?
