The Making of Americans
In May, the Oxford geneticist Bryan Sykes planted himself in the media spotlight, announcing a project to hunt for the yeti—the "abominable snowman." Not by trekking into the Himalayas, its rumored home, but by persuading people who claimed to have samples of the beast (hair, skin, blood and so on) to mail them to his laboratory for genetic analysis. If the DNA in the samples didn't match that from any known species, Bigfoot would be declared real. Genetics, Mr. Sykes argued, would settle the dispute over such "cryptic species" once and for all. "Using genetic analysis is entirely objective," he told LiveScience.com. "It can't be falsified."
By Bryan Sykes
Liveright, 368 pages, $27.95
Mr. Sykes is no stranger to the public eye. A "globe-trotting genetic gumshoe" (Wired), he not only became, in 1994, the first researcher to extract DNA from ancient remains—a 5,000-year-old body found intact in an Austrian glacier—but linked it to a modern descendant living in Dorset, England. A year later, he confirmed that recently exhumed Russian bones had belonged to Czar Nicholas II and his family, murdered in the Russian Revolution.
Most notably, perhaps, he formed Oxford Ancestors, the first commercial enterprise to sell personal genetic analyses, in 2001. That same year, he published "The Seven Daughters of Eve," a best seller that argued from genetic evidence that almost all modern Europeans are descended from just seven women—"Ursula," for instance, who lived in Greece about 45,000 years ago, and "Velda," a resident of northern Spain about 17,000 years ago.
Mr. Sykes's latest foray into hereditary history, "DNA USA," is an attempt to provide "a genetic portrait of America" similar to the representation of Europe in "Seven Daughters"—a project that is all but doomed from the start because of Americans' uniquely tangled genealogy.
Most of Mr. Sykes's work is based not on regular DNA, which is found in the nucleus of a cell, but on another type, contained in small bodies called "mitochondria" that float around by the thousand in the goo between the nucleus and the outer cell membrane. Scientists like mitochondrial DNA because it is plentiful and simple—it contains about 16,000 "bases" (the subunits out of which DNA is constructed), as opposed to the three billion bases in nuclear DNA. Happily for geneticists, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is usually transmitted unaltered from mother to daughter.
Thus, in theory, every woman should have exactly the same mtDNA as her umpteen-greats-grandmother. In fact, though, mtDNA, like regular DNA, gradually accumulates mutations—small changes in the order or composition of the bases. Two people who share a common female ancestor will thus have almost identical patterns of bases, with the differences being attributable to the buildup of mutations over time. In the past, when humans didn't move around quickly, individual areas would come to be dominated by people from the same mtDNA lineage, forming what Mr. Sykes calls "clusters" or "clans," all of whose members descend from a single female ancestor.
Moreover, mtDNA offers clues as to when people moved around. Geneticists say that DNA picks up those small mutations at a roughly steady rate. Thus by comparing the number of differences in a given mtDNA snippet from two people, researchers can estimate how long ago they had a common ancestor. In "Seven Daughters," Mr. Sykes examined the mtDNA of hundreds of Europeans, noted the similarities and differences, and broke the continent into seven clusters, each with its own female ancestor. Each had split off from the others at various points in the past.
The United States is far more genetically scrambled—a crazy quilt of immigrants from every corner of Europe, Africa and Asia laid over a foundation of indigenous Americans. Complicating matters still further, these separate peoples have all bred with each other, willingly or unwillingly, covertly or overtly—think of Sen. Strom Thurmond, the vehement segregationist who fathered a secret child with his 16-year-old African-American maid. Deriving a statistically valid portrait of this jumble, as Mr. Sykes realized, requires taking DNA samples from a gazillion people, an effort that "would have cost millions," take years, "and anyway would only replicate what others had already done."
Faced with this problem, Mr. Sykes punted. He decided to "be guided by chance events from the start: I would just see where they led." As a guiding image, he invokes "Easy Rider" (1969), in which Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda "wander aimlessly around the southwestern United States." Some readers' hearts will leap at the prospect of following a writer with no intended plan or outcome for 350-plus pages. Alas, I am not one of them.
This scattershot method, unsurprisingly, produces scattershot results. In his "first movement," Mr. Sykes examines the "original ancestral homelands from which Americans have come." Except that he doesn't. The author's America consists exclusively of Indians, Europeans, Africans and Jews. Latinos (16% of the population) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (5%) are left out, as are those who describe themselves to the Census Bureau as "other" (10%). His geography is equally incomplete. In his "second movement," Mr. Sykes rambles across the United States, taking DNA samples, hoping something of interest will turn up. Almost gleefully, he manages to avoid the entire Southeast, taking as a substitute an encounter in San Francisco with two African-Americans from Atlanta.
The people Mr. Sykes seems really interested in, the subject of eight of the 19 chapters in "DNA USA," are indigenous Americans. Understandably so—mtDNA is one of the best tools for getting at the vexed question of Indians' origins, a question that has bedeviled Western researchers for centuries. (Native people tend to be less intrigued, at least in my limited experience. When I have asked the where-are-you-from question, the response has generally been a finger pointing to the ground: "Here.")
Genetically speaking, Native Americans have four main mtDNA clusters, which geneticists have prosaically labeled A, B, C and D. "All have their closest matches in Asia," Mr. Sykes says: three in Siberia and one in China and Taiwan. Geneticists take this as proof that indigenous people crossed over from Asia to the Americas, perhaps across the Bering Strait land bridge.
In 1997, though, geneticists found a fifth cluster, which they labeled X. "There is no trace of any cluster X sequences in Siberia or Alaska," Mr. Sykes says. But "I had often come across cluster X in my work on European mitochondrial DNA, and even recruited it to be among the Seven Daughters of Eve." When combined with other data, Mr. Sykes argues, these findings indicate that "cluster X was in America . . . well before Europeans arrived in large numbers." This suggests that some Europeans migrated to the Americas thousands of years ago and became the ancestors of some native people.
Suggests—but not proves. A recurring annoyance in "DNA USA" and other popular genetics books is that genetic tests are much less definite—and their implications much less clear—than researchers like to pretend. In April 2006, for example, Mr. Sykes's Oxford Ancestors, his genetic-analysis company, proclaimed that a Florida accounting professor was directly descended from Genghis Khan (they had almost identical Y chromosomes). A world-wide buzz ensued.
Before taking a plane to Mongolia, his newfound homeland, the professor checked his DNA at another company. No way! said Firm No. 2—correctly, as Mr. Sykes later agreed. Oxford Ancestors had tested the professor's Y chromosome in nine mutation-prone locations. Seven of the nine places matched. Because Mr. Sykes had never seen such a close fit outside Asia, he announced a direct relationship. The second company found no match at another, less changeable section of the professor's Y chromosome, invalidating the first finding. The professor canceled his vacation in Ulan Bator.
Both companies tested only tiny snippets of DNA and made assumptions about the likelihood that small differences would occur in those snippets. Unfortunately, this practice is all too common. The claims in both "Seven Daughters" and "DNA USA" implicitly depend on the assumption that changes pile up in mtDNA at a consistent rate. But for more than a decade scientists have been arguing about whether this is true. The rates in studies based on comparing close relatives' mtDNA, for example, are roughly three times higher than estimates made by examining large groups within the species. Remember "Ursula," one of the seven daughters who lived in Greece 45,000 years ago? Maybe it was only 15,000 years ago. And maybe it wasn't Greece. Most geneticists today, having more information than Mr. Sykes did in 2001, divide Europeans into 10 to 12 clusters, with different borders.
"DNA USA" gives few hints that cluster X, the purported European mtDNA, has been the subject of long scientific debate. Entirely unmentioned is that in 2001 Russian scientists found cluster X in Altaian peoples from southern Siberia. Or that well-known Brazilian geneticists have argued that "X, together with the other four main mtDNA [clusters], was part of the gene pool of a single Native American founding population" from Asia, as they put it a few years ago in the American Journal of Human Genetics. Cluster X may be a sign that Indians have significant European ancestry, as Mr. Sykes advocates. But readers would be better off if he admitted that most of his colleagues regard the notion as poppycock.
Here, regrettably, Mr. Sykes is in good company. All too often, scientists who write for the public put on their white coats of authority and fail to acknowledge when they are expressing a minority view. Perusing "Guns, Germs and Steel" (1997) one cannot know that many of Jared Diamond's fellow geographers vehemently dispute his ideas. E.O. Wilson's "Social Conquest of Earth," now on best-seller lists, never tells readers that his proposed revision to evolutionary theory, group selection, has been the subject of an intellectual quarrel since V.C. Wynne-Edwards first proposed it in 1962. Wynne-Edwards isn't even in the index to Mr. Wilson's book. Nor are George C. Williams and John Maynard Smith, Wynne-Edwards's principal detractors. Journalists are rightly slapped if they extol an idea and neglect to mention criticisms. Scientists should be, too.

The family who was helped by George Zimmerman after a car accident in Sanford canceled their news conference scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
"They were just concerned that their involvement, having anything to do with George Zimmerman, may cause them blow back," said Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara.
Watch O'Mara's full press conference
Zimmerman helped pull a husband, wife and two kids from their overturned SUV last Wednesday
O'Mara talked to the media Wednesday afternoon and addressed skeptics who think the rescue was a public relations stunt.
"I will acknowledge it was coincidental four or five days after the verdict, but it was not set up, or staged. Really, do you think we would've set up a family of four on the side (of the road), destroying an SUV?" said O'Mara.
O'Mara said deputies, firefighters and the victims all identified him as being on the scene.
"Those who want to believe it's staged, they can go ahead and believe that. They can believe the earth is flat," he said.
Hear the 911 calls from the crash
O'Mara said Zimmerman was with someone when he pulled over to help. He said the car was teetering and Zimmerman helped open the doors or windows to get them out.
O'Mara said the family just wants its privacy.
"Those people want their privacy, and they deserve it. They are not part of this case," he said.
Zimmerman has been in hiding since he was released from jail last July and has only been seen in public during his trial.

BayHawks eyeing NBA training camps
Erie BayHawks center Chris Daniels has waited long enough for this opportunity.
NBA training camps are scheduled to begin Friday and Daniels, a 7-footer, said Wednesday he figured to be headed to the New Orleans Hornets.
"I'm ready to go," Daniels said. "That's it. I'm ready to go."
The BayHawks anticipate losing Daniels, 27, point guard Donald Sloan, 23, shooting guard Cory Higgins, 22, and small forward Mychel Thompson, 23, to an NBA camp.
If all four get that shot, Erie will have a different team for this weekend's games against Canton and Fort Wayne.
"I think we'll have enough guys here that know our plays, that know our philosophy to be able to be a foundation if we've got to add some new guys," Erie forward Chaz McCrommon, 29, said. "It's going to be tough.
"The rotations might be different and people might be playing different positions they're not used to, but we've been together now for almost a month, which is a good thing."
Erie (2-3) plays the Charge on Friday and face the Mad Ants on Saturday at Tullio Arena.
Both games start at 7 p.m. Friday's game can be seen on Image Sports Network.
"I think our guys are going to do a good job," Sloan said.
D-League teams can temporarily increase their rosters to 12 from 10 in anticipation of losing players to NBA camps.
The BayHawks currently have 12 players after adding guards B.J. Jenkins, 23, Mike Gerrity, 25, and power forward Greg Washington, 24. Erie released point guard Jamael Lynch, 26.
"(Erie coach Jay Larranaga) has done a pretty good job of selecting the right guys to bring in to fill in spots," Sloan said. "Guys that can play and are ready to play right now. We shouldn't have no problem no matter how long we're going to be gone."
The BayHawks, who have eight roster moves left, must return to a 10-man roster a week after NBA camps begin. The NBA lockout is expected to end this week and start its 2011-12 season Christmas Day.
To help adjust to roster changes, Larranaga and assistant Ben McDonald will continue spending extra time with new players as they did Wednesday with Washington and Gerrity.
"Guys have to get caught up to speed quickly," Larranaga said.
Sloan is most likely headed to the Atlanta Hawks, but considering Erie's general manager of basketball operations, Allan Houston, pulled the trigger for the BayHawks to trade Blake Ahearn to the Reno Bighorns for Sloan, the New York Knicks may have an interest in him as well.
Houston is the assistant general manager of the Knicks, which is a hybrid partner of Erie.
Higgins is hoping to wind up with the Denver Nuggets. Averaging 12.6 points, the 6-foot 5-inch, 180-pound guard out of Colorado and had a pre-draft workout with the Nuggets in June.
"That's where I'm planning on going," said Higgins, who is the godson of Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, about Denver.
Higgins is the son of former NBA player Rod Higgins, who is president of basketball operations for the Charlotte Bobcats. Jordan is the majority owner of the Bobcats.
"I'm excited," Cory Higgins said. "Just got to go in and work as hard as you can. That's the only thing you can control. Just go in and work as hard as you can and everything will work out."
Thompson confirmed Wednesday night he's going to the Cleveland Cavaliers' training camp.
The son of former NBA player Mychal Thompson and older brother of Klay Thompson, whom the Golden State Warriors selected in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft, Thompson is Erie's second-leading scorer at 19.8 points per game. He's shooting 48.6 percent from 3-point range.

For all the trouble brewing outside on the streets of East Germantown, neighbors considered Gwendolyn Knox's in-house day care in the 5800 block of Morton Street a haven for their children.
But on Dec. 23, 2011, trouble in the form of a stray bullet found 53-year-old "GG" - her neighbors' nickname, for "Grandmom Gwen" or "Godmom Gwen" - inside her house. The shot burst through a second-floor window frame. It missed a 1-year-old she was caring for but shattered Knox's jaw, hit an artery, and lodged in her spine.

When Team Culture and Company Culture Does Not Mix: Social Deviance
- Date: to
- Day 2
- Speakers: Mitch Lacey
Right click "Save as…"
Scrum teams strive to create an atmosphere where people can enjoy the process of producing excellent work yet still meet business goals and remain profitable. Getting a team to a level where this is possible is often a struggle, but with management support Scrum teams can reach a high-performing, rich mix of fun and accountability and can often out-deliver their peer teams.
The chemistry the team has created, however, is fragile. Its culture and ability to deliver effectively can be thrown off balance when someone is added to the team in the middle of a project that has not been part of the cultural growth of the team. They are bringing in the company culture, which can lead to the perception of social deviance.

Depending on Which Part of the Body the Scar Is Located
Scars are with no doubt some of the reasons why many people do not have a flawless skin. To get rid of these scars, people will opt for various scar removal methods that are currently available. Some include the popular use of scar cream, natural remedies as well as surgery. Each and every method used has its fair share of advantages as well as drawbacks. For example, the surgery method is more effective than the use of creams. However, the healing process will take much longer while the side effects may prove to be quite dangerous. If you are wondering how long it will take to make a scar less visible, don't sweat it, you have all your ultimate answers right here.
Whether it's a scar you got from shaving or one from a bug bite, the time it will take to get less visible will be dependent on quite a number of factors. The scars can be red, indented, firm or elevated. These are usually referred to as hypertrophic. The scars can remain red and itchy until the healing process is over. This healing process may take nine to eighteen months, depending on how one's skin type, lifestyle, race and genetics among other factors. A healthy living may mean that one takes in foods that are healthy which promotes the formation of collagen. The faster the collagen forms, the lesser time it will take for the scar to disappear.
9 to 18 Months Healing Process Depending on Scar Type
During the scar treatment methods such as incisions, the healing time will depend on tension that is used to create the lift. Exposing the scar to the sun will prolong the time it will take to fade away. The use of products with hydrogen peroxide will also slow down the healing process hence will prolong the time it takes for the scar to fade away. If you need to know what you can do to reduce the time the scar will take to get less visible, you can visit a dermatologist who will advise you on the best approaches to help shorten the period that it will take to make a scar less visible. Through the recommended foods and tips, you can be sure to have them disappear in a relatively shorter period.
How long the scar will take to get less visible will also depend on which part of the body it is located and whether one take tobacco or not. Oilier and darker skins will take longer to heal and they will hence stay red for extended periods of time. People with lighter skins will on the other hand, get scars from incisions and injuries fade quickly. Scars on the face will disappear faster than scars located on other parts of the body as they can take 2-3 months. Scars that are placed on parts with hair on both sides and those that are located at the backside of the ear will fade more quickly as opposed to those that are on the cheek, so healing time will basically depends on where the scar is located.

The generic ambien put out by apotex, well let's juset say that I've been taking it since it came out and I can't this this combination of the drug and fillers used in their 10 mg pill. I don't know what the difference is but it makes me very hung over the next day, almost unfunctional. With all other brands I have taken I have gotten good sleep and woke up refreshed. If anyone knows what might be going on with this companies edition, please let me know. The pill in reference is round and a light lavender in color. The others I have taken is a white like the brand, a pink elongated pill and a white round pill. These work wonderful for me but not the round lavender pill.
Rajive, That do you know about drug manufacturer Aida? My pharmacy filled my perception for Ambien CR 12.5 with a generic pill I can find no reference to. It is a small round yellow and has A1 end embossed on it. I'm not taking it until I can verify it. If you know of a source in English I can use to verify I would appreciate knowing. Aida appears to be Chinese. Thanks, Jo

If No One Is Lost, Then the Mission of Christ Was a Waste of Time
from R.C. Sproul Sep 26, 2016 Category: ArticlesIt's easy for us to shield ourselves—not consciously, not maliciously—but nevertheless, to pass on the other side in order to remain unaware of the pain and the spiritual hopelessness that is around us. That was not the way of Jesus. He looked for the pain. He searched for lost... Keep Reading
Do You Long for Wisdom?
from R.C. Sproul Jul 01, 2016 Category: ArticlesIn college, I majored in philosophy. On the very first day of the very first course that I took in philosophy, the professor wrote the word philosophy on the chalkboard, then broke it down to show its etymological origin. The word comes from two Greek words, which is appropriate, for the Greeks are usually seen as the founding fathers of Western philosophy. The prefix philo comes from the Greek word phileō, which means "to love." The root comes from the Greek word sophia, which means "wisdom." So, the simple meaning of the term philosophy is "love of wisdom." Keep Reading

The Holy Spirit as Seal and Pledge
from Edmund Clowney Jun 29, 2016 Category: ArticlesGod's seal is not, like the great seal of the United States, an emblem to be impressed on paper. God's seal is His Holy Spirit, who is God Himself present with His people. To be sure, God has given us also outward signs and seals of His ownership. In baptism God seals us by giving us His name; in the Lord's Supper we have the spiritual seal of His presence in the sacrament. Even these seals have a power beyond the outward sign: the reality of God's presence provides the blessing. But God gives a seal that is even more than these gifts of blessing. His final seal is the gift of Himself. Keep Reading

The Calvinist's Ultimate Concern
from Joel Beeke Jun 27, 2016 Category: ArticlesIf we had to reduce Calvinism to one concept, we might be safest to echo Warfield, who said that to be Reformed means to be theocentric. The primary interest of Reformed theology is the triune God, for the transcendent-immanent, fatherly God in Jesus Christ is God Himself. Calvinists are people whose theology is dominated by the idea of God. As Mason Pressly says: "Just as the Methodist places in the foreground the idea of the salvation of sinners; the Baptist, the mystery of regeneration; the Lutheran, justification by faith; the Moravian, the wounds of Christ; the Greek Catholic, the mysticism of the Holy Spirit; and the Romanist, the catholicity of the church, so the Calvinist is always placing in the foreground the thought of God."

With the track and field season under way, area high school athletes have already begun their quest for not only a trip to the District 6 and District 5 meets in May, but a trip to the state championships in Shippensburg later that month.
Altoona and Tyrone return several competitors who made the trek to Seth Grove Stadium in 2010. The Mountain Lions, who were the Class AAA state champions in 2010, have Wade Endress (distance), DeRon Lee and Kevin Johnson (jumps), Ryan Steinbugl (pole vault) and Tyler Lidwell (relays) back. Tyrone returns its 400 relay team that consists of Nick Patton - who won gold and silver in the 200 and 400, respectively, on his own, along with his relay teammates Zach Burke, Derrick Emigh and Steve Franco.
Other returning athletes who went to states last year include Central's Derek Nothstein (javelin) and Bellwood-Antis' Brian Leap (triple jump).

Overall outlook: "We lost some key positions to graduation. The team has grown, which should help depth in many areas. We have a core group that has big meet experience. The new team members show great potential, but they will need to get some meet experience and develop their skills. Barring injury, we should be well represented again at the district and state meets.

LEA & Facility Operator Training
12th Annual LEA, Tire Enforcement, and CIWMB Training and Technical Course Series
October 19-22, 2009
Hyatt Regency
Sacramento, California
Topics | Agenda | Presentations | Ralph Hunter Award Winner | Scholarships | Why You Should Attend | Steering Committee
On October 19-22, 2009, a comprehensive series of training and technical sessions was held in Sacramento. A steering committee of local enforcement agencies and California Integrated Waste Management Board (Board) staff began planning this year's series and identified more than 20 technical sessions designed to meet the needs of local enforcement agencies, tire grantees, Board staff, solid waste and tire facility operators, and tire haulers.
Topics covered a wide variety of subjects including:
- Landfill Gas
- Food Waste Handling Methods
- Grants
- Illegal Disposal
- Financial Assurances
- Regulatory Compliance Issues, and
- Emerging Technologies.
The agenda includes several half day technical training sessions and workshops that allowed for in-depth training and problem solving on regulatory issues that were of interest to both regulators and industry representatives.
Downloadable versions of many of the presentations given at the conference are now available.
These presentations were developed under the auspices of the CIWMB for specific technical training presentations and are posted as reference documents for the local government and CIWMB staff who attended this technical training series. They are not intended to stand alone as informational or training materials.
If you require assistance in obtaining access to these presentations, call the Public Affairs Office at (916) 341-6300.
Ralph Hunter Award Winner
This award recognizes an individual who has made a major impact to LEA solid waste program implementation by development of a special or new program, involvement with educational activities, involvement on committees and/or workgroups, involvement in the permitting and/or enforcement process, or any special achievement which enhances protection of public health and other environmental health principles through the LEA program. The Chair of the Enforcement Advisory Council presented the 2009 award to Lori Braunesreither at the Technical Training Series.
The Board offered a limited number of full and partial scholarships for qualifying participants to offset attendance costs, such as costs of registration and travel directly related to attendance (as allowed under state travel reimbursement policies).
Why You Should Attend
This series was designed to comply with PRC 43209(d) which states in part: The enforcement agency, within its jurisdiction and consistent with its certification by the board, shall … develop, implement, and maintain inspection, enforcement, permitting, and training programs.
Attendance at this series also was required in part by CCR Title 14, Section 18075, which states LEA personnel shall be trained in solid waste enforcement. The LEA's training program shall be coordinated with the Board as well as other state and local agencies, be part of the LEA's Enforcement Program Plan pursuant to 14 CCR 18077… and provide specific training in the following areas: (1) permitting, inspection, and enforcement duties and responsibilities…
The Board also has a broad mandate to provide technical information and compliance assistance to the industries it regulates, and this series of training and technical courses was designed in part to carry out the Board's mission in this area.

Owners of the 111-year-old Boone Gardiner Garden Center, Inc. say they hope to reemerge and reorganize after filing for bankruptcy last week.
"We have agonized over this decision for some time and have done everything in our power to avoid it," owners Matthew and Hope Gardiner said in a joint statement. "However, this seems to be the most prudent course of action in order to keep our 111-year-old business going while we rebuild it for the future."
Power has been restored to more than 500 La Grange households after a Thursday night fire destroyed playground equipment, downed power lines — and left many in the dark.
La Grange Fire & Rescue responded to a call placed at 10:56 p.m. Thursday indicating some playground equipment at Wilburn Park was on fire.
Arson is suspected and an investigation is underway, said a La Grange police officer.
Now that a long media campaign and weeks of collecting have wrapped, WHAS Crusade for Children has turned to the next step in helping students with special needs — determining who gets the money.
County Attorney John Fendley passed away at 2:45 p.m. today, according to Oldham County Judge-Executive Duane Murner. Fendley has been county attorney since 1989. Funeral arrangements will be posted as soon as The Oldham Era receives them.
Officials say an explosion rocked parts of La Grange Thursday night, shortly before playground equipment erupted in flames at a downtown park.
More than 500 La Grange households were left in the dark — and without air conditioning — after the fire downed nearby power lines.
Arson is suspected in the June 17 incident, said a La Grange police officer.
Oldham County will be included Saturday in an air quality alert of the Louisville Metro area.

PARKMAN TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- A woman eight months pregnant injured in a buggy crash Wednesday night delivered her baby but remained in critical condition at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.
Barbara Kauffman, 30, of Parkman Township, and seven other people were injured about 6:20 p.m. when a Jeep Cherokee slammed into an Amish buggy on Ohio 88.
Julie Pirtz, 31, of Warren, was driving the SUV.
She was cited for driving under the influence. She could be charged with other offenses, pending the outcome of the investigation.
Pirtz and a passenger, her daughter Jolie, were treated for minor injuries at Geauga Hospital and released.
Police said there was no indication that Pirtz slowed down before crashing into the horse-drawn buggy. Police said Kauffman's husband, Christopher, 30, was not injured but was staying at MetroHealth with his wife.
The other passengers in the buggy were Mary Ann Kauffman, 3; Raymond Kauffman, 5; Melinda Kauffman, also 5; Ada Kauffman, 8; Betty Kauffman, 9, and Dale Kelly. Ada and Betty Kauffman were in stable condition in the pediatric intensive care unit.
At least some of the children were Christopher and Barbara Kauffman's, but all of the family relationships were not available.
Mary Ann, Raymond and Melinda Kauffman were treated at Geauga Hospital and released.
The horse pulling the buggy was injured, but police did not know if the animal had to be euthanized.

Finding the Pink Buttercup on the state's most commercially cluttered highway is even more difficult than resisting the sweet creamy temptation inside.
Sure, the facade is pink, but the little shop is squeezed into a florist shop complex in an especially jammed stretch of Route 22 in Watchung, so you're more apt to see flowers, flower pots and planters, even stacks of firewood, than the "Now Open Cupcakes'' sign.
"I wanted to be on a busy highway,'' says co-owner Nia Raeford.
Careful what you wish for. You may indeed drive right past the cupcake shop the first time, but the good old Jersey jughandle will get you back on track. You may have thought - or wished - the cupcake craze had died down, but Raeford and gal pals Lisa Thomas and Mimi Gatling have found a sweet little niche with their cupcakes.
"We're not a bakery; we're a cupcake shop,'' Raeford says.
(For those wondering why I'm writing about cupcakes, I have only one answer: sometimes you have one of those weeks, and a cupcake - or three - is just what you need to get by).
The Pink Buttercup also offers cheesecakes, other cakes, pies and banana pudding, among other items. There are usually 8-10 kinds of cupcakes available; for cakes, it's best to call or order ahead.
Raeford and Thomas have known each other since they were students at Franklin High School, and Raeford says she has been baking cupcakes for 10-plus years, "even before the craze.''
One day she made cupcakes for her youngest son to take to school. He returned with a message: "Mommy, the kids in my class said these were the best cupcakes ever.''
She continued baking the cupcakes for friends, starting taking orders from school staff, and before she knew it she was searching for store space. There was a vacant storefront in North Plainfield, but the rent was too high. The owner of the restaurant next door said he knew of space in Gray's Florist on 22; would she be interested?
"I'm a dreamer, and have great determination,'' Raeford says.
Why "pink'' in the name?
"It's our favorite color!'' she replies, laughing.
The shop - once you find it - is tiny, but the quality is big time. Cupcakes are cupcakes, you say? The frosting on the PInk Buttercup's is creamier, more buttery than most, and the cake itself is soft and near-sublime.
My favorites: all-chocolate Devil Made Me Do it, and the chocolate coconut (my motto in life can be pretty much summed up as: "When in doubt, go with chocolate'').
Regular cupcakes are $2.50 each, and $25 for a dozen; there are also mini and jumbo sizes. A slice of cheesecake is $4.25; slices of other cakes, including devil's food, chocolate buttercup, German chocolate, red velvet and carrot, are $4.25 or $4.50. Don't forget Thomas' sweet potato pies, too.
Raeford, the dreamer, is asked about her plans for the future.
"I would love to expand,'' she says. "First we need to get on the map.''
The Pink Buttercup is on the map, although you may need one to find it the first time
around. Sometimes the sweetest things in life, though, require a journey - and a good pair of eyes.
THE PINK BUTTERCUP, 1590 Route 22 east, Watchung; (908) 322-1598. Hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday; noon to 6 p.m. Monday and Wednesday; noon to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. Closed Tuesday. Website: thepinkbuttercup.com.

KAWKAWLIN TOWNSHIP, MI — A group of men gathered on a September day in 1888 in Kawkawlin Township to organize a new Lutheran congregation in the farming country north of Bay City.
One of those men was Godfrey Friebe, who was named an officer of what became St. Bartholomew Lutheran Church. Today, the congregation is led by church board President Randy Friebe, the great-grandson of the founder.
Randy Friebe said the church was built on the corner of Beaver and Fraser roads, an area known historically as Three Churches because there were churches of three denominations on that intersection. St. Bartholomew, which conducted services in German for many years, reflecting the makeup of its congregation, was one of the anchors of the Kawkawlin community.
Although St. Bartholomew had several church buildings, on each side of Fraser Road, it remained there as an example of longevity and consistency. The church is located at 997 E. Beaver Road.
"Through God's incredible guidance, we were able to keep our church in that location and able to get God's word to the community of Kawkawlin through the years," Friebe said.
The church has expanded its reach to include members who live in Pinconning, Linwood, Auburn, Midland, Bay City and several outside the area who wanted to continue to worship in St. Bartholomew, Friebe added. There are 609 members of the congregation.
He added with pride that his son, Alexander, a student in Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minn., studying to be a Lutheran minister, is the fifth generation member of St. Bartholomew.
The church originally was affiliated with the Missouri Synod but left it to join the Michigan Synod which eventually merged and became part of the Wisconsin Synod.
Pastor Larry Seafert noted the emphasis on this year's celebration is concentrating on the congregation's accomplishments and milestones of the past 25 years, after having celebrated the centennial in 1988.
"We have concentrated more on the school," he said. "We have had additions to the school and have maintained the pre-school program for the past 13 years, which we are quite proud of and hope to continue."
The Christian day school, which was started in 1945, has become an integral part of the congregation's efforts, especially when many other parochial schools have closed throughout the Bay County area. The school continues to be a full elementary school running through the eighth grade.
The church has conducted a series of anniversary services during the year, featuring speakers by pastors who were sons of the congregation including Rodney Schwab, Mark Henke, Sam Hackler, Jason Hackler and Steven Tews.
A final celebration service with the theme "125 Years—God's Work Is Our Great Heritage" was to feature retired Pastor Fred Zimmerman, who served as pastor of the church from 1984 to 2009.
Seafert noted that he and Zimmerman, along with newly appointed associate pastor Andrew Lidke, have been the only pastors of the congregation for the past quarter-century.
