I keep trying to write this post, and every time I'm taken aback at how angry I am, how very furious, and I don't want that, I want to be positive and have fun and entertain. But oh, there's something I want to say, so I try again, and I'm back to being furious. Well. I've literally been at this post for a year and it never gets any funnier or lighter, but I keep wanting to write it; I have to write it; I have to be done with it. So here we go.
A year ago I was at a family event and a few of my mom's friends--older women all--were expressing amazement that I would let my hair go gray. One of them--a woman I've known since I was born--said, "Men don't mind it when their hair goes gray, because gray hair makes you look more intimidating. And a woman doesn't want to look intimidating."
She was so well-meaning, so concerned about my looking approachable and pretty, and I know she didn't mean anything by it. But when she said this, so much rage welled up in me. So much. I made a joke and changed the subject, but all I wanted to do was scream. Loudly.
Because: do I want to look intimidating? God, yes. I do. Yes, please, I very much fucking do.
As a young woman, I was certainly the least intimidating creature on the planet, and as such I was prey to unwanted attention from men, attention that ranged from annoying to truly scary. I know there are people who dismiss the idea that such attention is upsetting--after all, isn't it flattering that strangers think you're attractive? But it goes far, far beyond that. It was endless and exhausting and I don't think it has a thing to do with how pretty you are. In fact I often felt the comments would come fast and furious on the days I felt particularly bad about myself, like I was giving off signals or hormones, like they could smell my weakness.
But now, I don't know, I may be slightly more intimidating these days, because I am 42. I am middle aged. Being middle aged renders you invisible to the kinds of creeps who dole out harassment, so you're mostly left alone. I'm really enjoying it. Not only do I not miss my youth, I am pleased to be rid of it.
To be a young woman in our culture means that you exist, from an alarmingly young age, for the appreciation of others. Therefore, your every feature is fair game for public appraisal.
It means you become accustomed to a certain kind of gaze: a cold survey of your merits and deficits.
It means you tense up when you walk past a group, any group, of men, because you know they're going to say something, it may or may not be positive, and either way it's not going to leave you feeling good about yourself.
It means you can't look sad or even neutral in public because a stranger, a man, will inevitably order you to smile.
It means you automatically flinch when a guy looking at you passes a little too closely, because you know he's going to murmur something in your ear. You know it. And then he does, he murmurs damply into your ear, and you feel like you need to disinfect that entire side of your head and you turn and shout, "WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME," but by then you're invisible. He's done. He doesn't bother to acknowledge you. No one does.
It means that when you're going out you don't wear the short skirt you wanted to wear or that low-cut dress because you know the comments you'll get, and high heels that look right with the dress you're wearing are out; if you had to break out into a run there's no way in hell you could, and you can't afford to feel that vulnerable.
So: did I want to appear intimidating? So much. If that happens now because I have gray hair, I am all for it. I doubt that's why the public commentary has waned. The fact is, I just don't read as an Object anymore.
It still happens, of course; older women aren't immune to unwanted attention, or worse. I don't put up with it for a second, and maybe that's clear from how I carry myself, so they leave me alone. Maybe my gray hair pushed me over the edge into a new world, one where I'm considered worthy of respect. Or, more likely, I'm not considered at all.
This is just fine by me. As a result, for instance, I rarely have to endure seeing men masturbating on the subway. I'm not sure where all the public masturbators went. Do they magically appear only to women in their twenties, like awful leprechauns? Penis fairies? Because I am telling you, I saw one a week, back then. Granted, I was on the subway a lot more, usually late at night. But wherever I went, there they were. An old man reading the newspaper grinned at me, and then I saw what was going on underneath his Daily News. A middle-aged guy wearing bike shorts, of all things, whipped it out right by my head. On a crowded F train into Queens, a very large man I never saw stood right behind me and humped my back, and I was frozen, trapped, unable to believe what was happening. He kept going, stop after stop, and I stood there, realizing I couldn't move or speak, that I was too afraid and freaked out to move, and what's worse, he knew it.
I still can't get over the fact that I never screamed. I never said anything. I just wished it would stop. Which it did, of course, eventually, only it's still going on, when I think about it, inside my head.
There were other incidents, too; so many incidents. Every one underscored the message that I wasn't safe, that I deserved whatever was coming to me, because I was young and a woman and that was how it was and also I should appreciate it. I tried to look unapproachable, but I don't think my face works that way; I just looked sad and then men barked at me to cheer up, to give them a smile. I wanted to look hard and angry. Lord knows I wanted to be intimidating. It just didn't work.
These days I feel like I'm off the hook. Like I'm free. I still do want to be intimidating, though. There are days when I want to be terrifying.
A while back, a postal worker called out to me from his truck, in this creepy sing-song, "Little girl… little girl…" I couldn't believe he was talking to me, but there was no one else around, so I turned to him and said, "Excuse me?" He looked horrified and stammered, "I…I thought you were a little girl."
What could I do? I told him he was a fucking creep. He took off, and I prayed for little girls everywhere.

Top-seeded Pens aim to rebound against Isles in Game 3
The New York Islanders will try to build off a surprising win over the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins when they host Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals on Sunday at Nassau Coliseum.
The Islanders are heavy underdogs in this best-of-seven series and few people were shocked when Pittsburgh routed New York by a 5-0 score in the opener at CONSOL Energy Center. However, the eighth-seeded Isles bounced back with a 4-3 victory in Friday's Game 2 in the Steel City and they overcame a 3-1 first- period deficit to do so.
Pittsburgh lost Game 2 despite the return of captain Sidney Crosby, who had been out since March 30 when he suffered a broken jaw. Crosby scored two goals in the game, but he couldn't prevent New York from knotting the series at one game apiece.
New York is in the postseason for the first time in six years and Sunday's game on Long Island will be the first playoff test at the Coliseum since April 18, 2007 against the Buffalo Sabres. The Islanders lost that series to the Sabres 4-1 and haven't posted more than one win in any single playoff series since losing in seven games to Toronto in the opening round of the 2002 playoffs.
The Islanders, who will also host Game 4 on Tuesday, were actually better on the road than at home during the regular season. They were 10-11-3 on Long Island and 14-6-4 as the guest. Pittsburgh had identical 18-6-0 records at home and on the road this season.
Kyle Okposo scored the winner in the third period as the Islanders rallied to take a 4-3 victory over the Penguins on Friday.
"We had our legs going," said New York head coach Jack Capuano. "After the first period, we had 20 shots on net. You could tell we were playing our game. Our guys are relentless. It only takes a couple shots to get back in the game. I knew if we continued to play the way we did in the first period, we would get on the score board and have some kind of success throughout the game."
A fortunate bounce for the Islanders led to the go-ahead goal. Okposo fired a shot from the slot that went wide to the left of the net, but it came back out front and Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury inadvertently kicked it into the net.
Matt Moulson, Colin McDonald and Matt Martin all scored for the Islanders, who received 30 saves from Evgeni Nabokov.
Martin also received a fortuitous bounce for his second-period goal, which evened the score at 3-3. Josh Bailey's shot from the slot went wide to the left of the net, but it came right to the stick of Martin and he shot it past a surprised Fleury.
Fleury let in all four goals on 42 shots for the Penguins, who are in the playoffs for a seventh straight year but have been eliminated in the first round the past two seasons.
In addition to the two goals from Crosby, Pittsburgh also got a goal from Evgeni Malkin, but all three tallies came in the first period and the team was stymied by Nabokov and the Islanders in the final two periods.
"I think we know we didn't play the way we needed to," said Crosby. "Obviously they got some bounces but they worked for them and I don't think we feel we did enough to deserve that one."
Although Crosby was back for the Pens, the club did not have forward James Neal or defenseman Brooks Orpik on the ice for Game 2.
Neal, who was second on Pittsburgh with 21 goals this season, suffered a lower body injury following a hit from New York's Travis Hamonic in the opening game. He skated briefly on Saturday but his status for Game 3 is uncertain.
Orpik hasn't played since April 23, missing the final two games of the regular season and the first two tilts of this series with a lower body issue. He also is questionable for Game 3.
This is the fourth time the Penguins and Islanders are meeting in the playoffs. The Isles won the previous three series, including a victory in the division finals in 1993, which was the last time the club won a playoff series.

Actress Nicole Kidman and her country star husband Keith Urban like to spice up their relationship by sending each other saucy text messages.
The singer is currently juggling his tour commitments with filming for reality TV show "American Idol," on which he is a judge, while his movie star wife is shooting on location in London.
The couple has imposed strict rules about keeping in touch while they're apart, but Urban admits they have both broken their own rules as they try to find new ways to keep the spark in their romance alive after seven years of marriage.
During a taped interview with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, which will air on Monday, Urban said, "We just make it work. We never text, we never email. Phone calls only, which I really love that."
However, Urban then grew embarrassed as he confessed, "Maybe one text. Maybe one cool kind of, you know… Nice sex texting. I'm a little red right now."

Post-Fourth of July sunburn keeping you awake? It takes a serious AC unit to completely rid your bedroom of the insufferable heat, and even then there's still that sticky, humid feeling�to contend with. Fortunately, your interior design can help. Stow your flannel sheets and red paint in the closet - this is the time of the year for a total cool-down bedroom makeover.
Custom window treatments to suit your needs
Sure, avoiding reds and yellows in your decorating will make you feel cooler, but choosing a set of energy efficient window treatments will actually help to lower the temperature in your home. First of all, it's important to keep your blinds and shades closed tight during the day or when the room is not in use. Otherwise, the sunshine will filter into your room and heat up the air. Natural light is a great decorating tool, but when the air isn't circulating and no one's home, it's best to be kept out.
There are multiple options for the best summertime window treatment. The U.S. Department of Energy noted that highly reflective or wood blinds are best in warmer months, as they allow for a very controlled amount of light, and when fully closed, the sun will bounce off of the surface rather than heating up the room. Drapes are also useful because in the summer, they can keep your room cool, but in the winter they help to prevent heat loss.
Turn down the temperature on your decor
As mentioned earlier, avoiding warm hues and overly cozy fabrics in your decor will make you feel cooler and help you to get out of the summer heat, both mentally and physically. Pigments that will beat the heat include cool colors muted with gray undertones - think of spaces that provide shelter from hot months, such as a body of water. One such palate might include bluish-gray with navy accents. Lighter colors also help to diffuse heat, as opposed to darker colors, which just attract sunlight.
Of course, shaking that hot, sweaty feeling is harder than just looking at some colors (though that doesn't hurt). For some relief to the sunburn, consider using satiny sheets. If the idea is too bachelor pad�for you, keep a single satin-like�sheet under your duvet so it's not on display during the day.

If it doesn't fit into YOU (irrational, poorly informed) worldview, then by definition it is irrational and poorly informed.
Frankly, I find that fairly laughable coming from you, but such a response doesn't really get us anywhere. If you hold this opinion of me, then kudos. I continually correct myself and admit fault in my own arguments when I find it/have it pointed out to me, a forum/community/argumentative strength I cannot claim to have ever witnessed in you.
I have on at least one point here given cited reasoning backing my assumption that this publicity stunt is stupid (The EQ of Orcas compared to dolphins), and have suggested looking to further reading provided that suggests PETA isn't really about the 'ET' it claims to be. If you find it so shocking that one could continue holding an opinion that differs from your own, I would ask you to keep it to yourself in the future.
But, given that we had an almost verbatim exchange in the Occupy Thread, I'm going to simply state that, once again, washing everyone who disagrees with YOU into a fine category of irrational or poorly informed, in the face of demonstrating their rational and informed perspectives is pretty childish.
Griffin wrote:Also, chickens ARE fully sentient and have a range of emotions.
Citation needed. I think there's even a thread dedicated to defining 'sentience'. I would strongly suggest that chickens are not. Out of curiosity, do you have any experience with animal behavior, biology, or the like?
omgryebread wrote:PETA is also not representative of animal rights activists!
This is certainly true, I'll grant. I wager there are informed animal rights activists out there, but because this thread is about PETA, and I wrote 'my experiences with MOST activists', the point still comes down to awaiting some sensibility or intelligence from this group. I will clarify and state that I am not under the impression that animal rights activist = idiot, but the particular activists we are talking about here, and everyone I have ever personally encountered, are.
Also, I'm a little surprised no one jumped on my statement about SeaWorld not definitively doing any harm to these animals by holding them in captivity; after a bit of reading, I'm completely redacting that claim. I wouldn't call it slavery, because Orcas aren't people, but I would readily accept that it is cruel to keep an animal used to swimming hundreds of km a day, in an enclosure twice it's length. As a PR stunt drawing attention to the mistreatment of Orcas, this is of questionable efficacy. But I fully agree with Dream's statement that 'decent treatment of Orcas' and 'Orcas in captivity' is not a statement SeaWorld is capable of making, nor I in claiming.

Martyrdom in Islam
From Quotes
To err is human, but when the eraser wears out ahead of the pencil, you're overdoing it.Josh Jenkins
(Redirected from Martyrdom operation)
Martyrdom operation is a military or terrorist attack in which the attacker is expected to die; most often a suicide bombing.
Martyrdom operation
The following quotations use the term martyrdom operation.
- Martyrdom is not only the path to life – it is the door to life. Martyrdom is life. The martyr is born in his martyrdom.
- The issue of martyrdom and of the martyrdom operations carried out by boys and girls, and also the operations carried out by the Iraqi resistance—these redeem self-confidence and hope.
- It is regrettable that the propaganda of the enemies of Islam has influenced the Muslim community so much that Muslims instead of planning for the uprooting of the Zionist regime and its arrogant supporters have occupied themselves with questioning and discussing the legitimacy of the Palestinian's self-defence which is carried out under the most oppressive conditions imaginable. For sure, when protecting Islam and the Muslim community depends on martyrdom operations, it not only is allowed, but even is an obligation as many of the Shi'ah great scholars and Maraje', including Ayatullah Safi Golpayegani and Ayatullah Fazel Lankarani, have clearly announced in their fatwas. Consider the rewayah from the prophet of Allah (SA) who said: "Whoever is killed in defence of his belongings, he/she is martyr." (Wasa'il al-Shi'ah, v.15, p.121)
- Martyrdom operations in Palestine, in particular, are justified...the Palestinians do not have weapons to defend themselves. They have no tanks, artillery, and so on. This is the only means available to them.
- Islamic Scholars Debate the Meaning of Jihad March 2007
- This enemy [...] curses the Muslims and Islam and the (Islamic) groups, and the clerics, and treats the martyrs with contempt, as well as those who commit martyrdom (i.e. suicide) operations who are, by Allah, the greatest martyrs in Islamic history...The Prophet said: I will show you who are the most noble among the martyrs. They are Hamza, and a man who came to preach to an oppressing imam, reproaching him, and was killed. All the more so, (someone who killed) a Jew! Why is he under attack? He wraps himself in an explosive belt, and dies for the sake of Allah, and then they say he was a terrorist and condemn him?
- The struggle should be in unusual, through resistance and martyrdom, by which we can achieve balance with the Zionist entity...the preachers should present the issue of commitment to resistance and Intifada and preach for Jihad and martyrdom for Allah....This people must continue to sacrifice martyrs daily, and confront the Israeli enemy with steadfastness, faith, and high values.
- We want to reform Pakistan....I said yesterday in my Friday sermon: "If you have many policemen and soldiers - fine. Allah be praised, we are few, but we have thousands of students, who want to commit martyrdom."...If the government starts it and attacks us, we will attack them, Allah willing, with martyrdom operations.
- You may remember the martyr operation inside the Bagram base, which targeted a senior U.S. official. … That operation was the result of his wise planning. He (bin Laden) planned that operation and guided us through it. The operation was a success.
- Taliban: Bin Laden Planned Cheney Attack Apr 25, 2007 (AP)
Suicide attack
The following quotations use the term suicide attack.
- Whoever gave the green light to suicide operations against Israeli civilians, and said that the dialogue with the Jews would take place through human bombs, did so out of political, ideological motives, in support of a certain political group. It has nothing to do with religion. All the religious scholars, especially the Salafi scholars, have said that whoever blows himself up, even among the enemy, is killing himself, and will be punished in hell.
Implicit references
The following quotations neither use martyrdom operation nor suicide attack or a similar terminology, yet they refer to the same act.
- We want our believing brothers to see their brothers in the occupied land, who have no support and no weapons, no money, and no (assistance) in the struggle. They have nothing except for their souls and their bodies, which they turn into a weapon and blow themselves up before the enemy in defense of their honor and their stolen land. Shall we not stand by them as Mujaheedin?
- There is nothing wrong with (suicide attacks) if they cause great damage to the enemy....This is when we talk of Dar Al-Harb....But, if we speak of what happens in Muslim countries, such as Saudi Arabia, some areas in Muslim Algeria, or as we heard a few days ago, in Syria, this is forbidden, brothers! This is the land of the Muslims.
Martyrdom & suicide
The following quotes use both terminology.
- In Islam, one of the goals of Jihad, one of the goals of fighting is for there to be martyrs...Western thinking does not understand this. They think this is a kind of suicide, despair, and so on. Absolutely not....He is married off to 70 black-eyed virgins.

A lightning-caused wildfire west of Devil's Canyon has burned approximately 86 acres of Forest Service land since the lightning strike on August 4. While the fire is being monitored by a five-person squad, there has not been a significant effort to put out the flames.
Smoke from the fire has drifted onto Highway 191 several times, but has not been a public safety issue. As of the press deadline on August 14, fire was burning on nearly 80 percent of the fire perimeter.
The wildland firefighting crew who monitors the fire keeps it from burning too intensely. Fire fighters also work to keep the natural fire in the ecosystems and resource areas that would benefit the most from wildfire.
The fire is in ponderosa pine and oak brush.
Officials state that the "long term fire use objectives" are to aid natural habitat restoration through fire regime maintenance, allow the reintroduction and regeneration of native vegetation and habitat while recycling soil nutrients, reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire through the use of moderate intensity natural fire, for Wildlife and Range management to provide for increased spring forage by allowing consumption of understory litter with natural fire, keep suppression costs commensurate with resource values through the use of appropriate response actions and limit the damage to municipal watersheds from wildland fire and fire management activities.
Wildfire-Use Fires are used throughout the forests to maintain optimal forest health. Since the suppression activities started in the 1940's, forest managers have learned that fire does have a role in the wildland ecosystem. Sections of forests have been identified to allow natural wildfire back into those ecosystems.

Team GifTED Wins Inaugural "TED Case Challenge"
UCLA Anderson students win $10,000 and prizes from TED and TOMS
LOS ANGELES -- First year MBA students Billy Wang, Danny Greene, Ken Janssen and Kenny Liao captured the $10,000 first prize in the inaugural UCLA Anderson TED Case Challenge on Thursday, May 31. Their idea, called GifTED, is a program in which consumers can partner with retailers to make contributions to select charities. The winners received an internship with TED, a pair of shoes and sunglasses from TOMS and $10,000. Team GifTED was one of four teams of finalists that presented their ideas to a panel of judges.
- Consumer Volunteerism: Hayk Hovhannisyan, Carmen Bona, Ilya Gribov, Fabien Heitz
- B2B-4-Good: Jason Saxe, Kiara Barrett
- Products Worth Sharing: Lauren Logan, Charlotte Baxter, Remy Monteko, Alisa Sommer
- GifTED: Billy Wang, Danny Greene, Ken Janssen, Kenny Liao
Teams were judged on how well they took the output from the TED Active Giving Project, hosted by TOMS, on sustainable giving as it applies to businesses and communities, and translated it into a proposal that is actionable. Students pitched their solutions to a judging panel comprised of executives from TED and TOMS, and UCLA Anderson faculty, students and staff.
The research and analysis coming out of the competition will be shared with corporate sponsors and potentially other key stakeholders. The competition is designed as a means of advancing the ideas generated from this year's TED and TED Active conferences with viable solutions that will move ideas into impact.
"TED's central goal with the Case Challenge is to invest in smart, active and engaged students to understand potential impact of purpose driven business ideas" said Ronda Carnegie, Head of Global Partnerships at TED. "UCLA Anderson shares this aim, and together with TOMS, we are working with the student competition that takes a look at idea impact in a tangible and innovative way."
UCLA Anderson and TED hope that the initial effort will evolve into a greater program across top graduate schools for translating innovative ideas into comprehensive campaigns and executable plans across the breadth of important issues that TED confronts.

Use Back Button to return to Index of Cases
No. 97-691.
Supreme Court of Montana.
Appellant/Insurer for,
Submitted on Briefs June 11, 1998.
Decided July 8, 1998.
W. Jones
A. Hubbard
NELSON, Justice.
¶ 1 This is an appeal by Liberty Northwest Insurance Corporation (Liberty) from the October 1, 1997 order of the Workers' Compensation Court dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction Liberty's petition filed against the State Compensation Insurance Fund (State Fund). We affirm.
¶ 2 On August 25, 1997, Liberty filed in the Workers' Compensation Court a Petition for Hearing naming the State Fund as the respondent. In its petition, Liberty alleged that it was the workers' compensation carrier for Brand S Lumber (Brand S). According to Liberty, Brand S subcontracted with McNeilly Line Logging (McNeilly) for McNeilly to provide Brand S with logs. On November 25, 1994, the State Fund wrote to Brand S stating that McNeilly had applied for [289 Mont. 477] coverage with the State Fund and that "we will also notify you if cancellation procedures are initiated for any reason."
¶ 3 Liberty's petition also alleged that on September 25, 1995, McNeilly's employee, Durwood Park (Park), was injured. Brand S and Liberty then discovered that McNeilly was without workers' compensation insurance. As a result, Liberty began paying benefits to Park pursuant to § 39-71-405, MCA. Basically, this statute requires that an employer (in this case Brand S) who contracts with an independent contractor (McNeilly) is liable for payment of benefits to the employees of the independent contractor (Park) if the independent contractor has not properly complied with the coverage requirements of the Workers' Compensation Act (the Act).
¶ 4 Liberty alleged that prior to Park's injury the State Fund never notified Brand S that it (the State Fund) did not provide coverage for McNeilly. Liberty also alleged that State Fund's letter of November 25, 1994, was provided to Brand S for its guidance in its business transactions and that the statement in the letter referred to above was a false statement or, alternatively, made without the reasonable exercise of care or competence in obtaining or communicating this information. Liberty's petition claimed that State Fund provided the information in its letter to Brand S for its benefit and guidance; that State Fund knew or was charged with knowing that Brand S intended to rely on that information; and that State Fund failed to observe a duty of care to Brand S in supplying information for use in commercial transactions. Finally, Liberty alleged that it demanded that State Fund accept liability and reimburse Liberty for money paid to Park and that State Fund refused.
¶ 5 In response to Liberty's petition, State Fund moved to dismiss on the ground that the Workers' Compensation Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to decide Liberty's cause of action because it sounded in tort. The Workers' Compensation Court agreed and dismissed Liberty's petition. This appeal followed.
¶ 6 The sole issue on appeal is whether the Workers' Compensation Court has subject matter jurisdiction to hear and determine Liberty's petition.
Standard of Review
¶ 7 When deciding a motion to dismiss based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction, a trial court must determine whether the [289 Mont. 478] complaint states facts that, if true, would vest the court with subject matter jurisdiction. This conclusion is a question of law. Poteat v. St. Paul Mercury Ins. Co. (1996), 277 Mont. 117, 119, 918 P.2d 677, 679 (citations omitted). Our review of the Workers' Compensation Court's conclusions of law is plenary; we simply determine whether its legal conclusions are correct. Heath v. Montana Municipal Ins. Authority, 1998 MT 111, ¶ 9, 288Mont. 463, ¶ 9, 959 P.2d 480, ¶ 9, 55 St.Rep. 437, ¶ 9 (citing Loss v. Lumbermens Mut. Cas. Co. (1997), 282 Mont. 80, 81, 936 P.2d 313, 314).
¶ 8 Liberty contends that the allegations in its petition state a claim under the holding in Jim's Excavating Service v. HKM Assoc. (1994), 265 Mont. 494, 878 P.2d 248 (adopting Restatement (Second) of Torts § 552 (1977)(information negligently supplied for the guidance of others)) and Restatement (Second) of Torts § 551 (1977) (liability for non-disclosure). Furthermore, Liberty concedes that "[u]ndeniably [its] theory 'sounds in tort.' " Notwithstanding, Liberty maintains that the underlying subject matter of its dispute with the State Fund is the State Fund's alleged liability for the payment of workers' compensation benefits, and that, accordingly, the Workers' Compensation Court has subject matter jurisdiction of its cause of action. We agree that Liberty's cause of action sounds in tort; we disagree, however, with Liberty's conclusion that the Workers' Compensation Court has jurisdiction of this cause nonetheless.
¶ 9 The jurisdiction of the Workers' Compensation Court is set forth in § 39-71-2905, MCA, (1995), which, in relevant part provides:
¶ 10 Even though the Workers' Compensation Court has broad jurisdictional powers over disputes under the Act, see State ex rel. Uninsured Emp. Fund v. Hunt (1981), 191 Mont. 514, 518-19, 625 P.2d 539, 541-42, and Wunderlich v. Lumbermens Mut. Cas. Co. (1995), 270 Mont. 404, 411, 892 P.2d 563, 567-68, we have never gone so far as to interpret the court's jurisdiction to encompass common law tort actions. In this regard, we agree with the rationale articulated by the Workers' Compensation Court in dismissing Liberty's petition:
¶ 11 The jurisdictional parameters of the Workers' Compensation Court are defined by statute as interpreted, from time to time, by the decisions of this Court. Section 39-71-2905, MCA, restricts the jurisdiction of the Workers' Compensation Court to disputes concerning "any benefits under chapter 71" of Title 39. Our role is simply to ascertain and declare what is in terms or in substance contained in a statute and not to insert what has been omitted or omit what has been inserted. Section 1-2-101, MCA. Clearly, the plain language of this statute does not empower the Workers' Compensation Court to hear or decide common law tort actions. Indeed, jurisdiction over "all civil matters and cases at law and in equity"--including actions sounding in tort--resides in this State's courts of general jurisdiction, the district courts. Art. VII, Sec. 4, Mont. Const. Notwithstanding how Liberty may choose to arbitrarily characterize its claims against State Fund, its cause of action is substantively one for damages based upon tort theories of recovery and is not a dispute over benefits payable under the Act.
¶ 12 We hold that the Workers' Compensation Court correctly determined that, as matter of law, it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over Liberty's cause of action. Accordingly, the court's dismissal of Liberty's petition is affirmed.
TRIEWEILER, GRAY, HUNT and REGNIER, JJ., concur.

Omaha CSI director accused of planting evidence
By MARGERY A. GIBBS, Associated Press Writer
Thu Apr 23, 2009
OMAHA, Neb. – The commander of the Douglas County crime scene investigations unit is facing federal and state charges over accusations that he planted evidence in the car of two wrongly accused suspects in a Nebraska couple's murder.
U.S. Attorney Joe Stecher said Thursday that David Kofoed has been charged in a federal indictment with deprivation of rights and other counts. State prosecutors charged Kofoed a day earlier with evidence tampering in the investigation of the 2006 shooting deaths of Wayne and Sharmon Stock in rural Murdock in southeast Nebraska.
Nicholas Sampson and Matthew Livers were charged in the murders and held for months but were later cleared; two other people ultimately were convicted. Prosecutors say Kofoed planted a speck of Wayne Stock's blood in a car believed to have been used by the initial suspects.
The case could lead defense attorneys to re-examine convictions in Omaha and elsewhere in Douglas County that involved evidence handled by Kofoed, who has led the CSI unit since 2000 and previously worked as a crime lab specialist for Omaha police.
Kofoed, 52, says he is innocent.
"They didn't go to jail because of (the CSI unit)," Kofoed told the Lincoln Journal Star on Wednesday, referring to Sampson and Livers. "They went to jail because of a bad confession.
"It had nothing to do with what we did."
Calls by The Associated Press to an Omaha listing for a David Kofoed went unanswered Thursday.
Court records show that Livers, who is mildly retarded, was interrogated for 11 hours before he falsely confessed and implicated his cousin, Sampson, in the murders. Livers was the Stocks' nephew.
The federal indictment says Kofoed deprived Livers and Sampson of their constitutional rights of due process and against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Kofoed also is charged with falsifying records in a federal investigation and faces a count of mail fraud; prosecutors say he mailed a DNA report based on false information. The most serious federal counts each carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Livers and Sampson have filed lawsuits that accuse law enforcement of trying to cover up a botched investigation.
Kofoed had been placed on paid leave after the lawsuit was filed, but he returned to work in July 2008 after passing a polygraph test about how he handled evidence in the case.
Kofoed has again been placed on administrative leave, Sheriff Tim Dunning said in a statement issued Thursday. Dunning said he would not comment on the charges against Kofoed until he has had a chance to read court documents in the case and consult with the county attorney.
Federal prosecutors would not comment on why authorities are apparently convinced that Kofoed is solely to blame for Stock's blood being found in the car, federal prosecutors said they had no comment. Cass County Attorney Nathan Cox did not immediately return messages left by The Associated Press on Thursday.
The case has raised questions from some defense attorneys about other criminal cases in which Kofoed handled evidence.
Jerry Soucie with the Nebraska Commission on Public Advocacy said Thursday that he has been in touch with several prosecutors concerning criminal cases on which Kofoed has worked, although he would not name the attorneys or the cases.
"This is really a big deal," Soucie said. "When you start drawing into question the reliability of forensic evidence in a case, it makes it difficult not only for prosecutors but for defense lawyers as well.
"Historically, defense counsel relies on the integrity of conduct by lab personnel. And if we lose that, then we have to go into every lab personnel's notes and evidence logs and things that we typically don't do."
Cases in which Kofoed has given prosecutors evidence or testified in include the murder trial of Ivan Henk, who was sentenced in 2005 to life in prison for killing his 4-year-old son, and the murder trial of Christopher Edwards, who was sentenced in 2007 to 80 years-to-life in prison for the death of a 19-year-old college student whose body has never been found.

|Cliff Hanger?
Feb 18, 2014
I've been hiv+ for almost 6 years now and not on any meds because My numbers have always remained in the (as my doctor would say).... like a hiv- person. Anyhow, after this much time I'm curious if like it's possible to just all of a sudden drop of the cliff so to speak suddenly and start seeing a dramatic decline in my labs or just assume I'm going to be one of those rare slow progressors. I just don't want any surprises!
Response from Dr. Young
Hello and thanks for posting.
Though you've not said what your viral load is, I'd surmise (if you are a long-term non-progressor) that off treatment, it's either undetectable or very low. This situation isn't common, but certainly real.
If this is the case, I don't expect a cliff hanger at all (and anyways, Cliff Hanger was a bad movie). Rather, with continued monitoring of your health and labs, LTNP don't drop off a cliff. Many continue on for years without decline in their health; a few seem to have slowly declining CD4s. For this later group, conventional HIV treatments reverse the trend.
I hope that helps. Be well, BY

The Vikings will be playing outdoors on Saturday night when they face the Packers at Lambeau Field.
Since it is January, it's a fair bet that there will be a significant chill to the air. Minnesota's got plenty of its own chill this time of year, but the Vikings play their home games inside and typically practice indoors as well so there was some question of whether they'd switch things up and practice outside on Tuesday to prepare for their trip across the border into Wisconsin. If coach Leslie Frazier was considering it, the consideration didn't last long.
"It was minus-10," Frazier said, via the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. "Any thoughts I had about us going out there were kind of removed when I got out of my car."
The Vikings opted for practicing inside, but opening sliding doors to allow some of the elements in during the session. The Vikings haven't won at Green Bay since 2009, when they were quarterbacked by a fellow who used to play his home games at Lambeau Field, and they lost 23-14 there during this regular season.
Four members of the Vikings weren't on the field for the half-freezing practice. Running back Adrian Peterson, safety Harrison Smith, linebacker Tyrone McKenzie and cornerback Antoine Winfield all sat out practice, although Winfield's broken hand is the only injury that is particularly worrisome for Saturday.

Georgia Lawyers for the Freedom to Marry launches with more than 200 pledge signers
June 20, 2014
Today, Southerners for the Freedom to Marry – in partnership with our friends at Georgia Equality – announced Georgia Lawyers for the Freedom to Marry, a bipartisan list of more than 200 Georgia attorneys who are adding their names to the growing list of Georgians who support marriage for same-sex couples. Lawyers in Georgia can sign up to become a Georgia Lawyer for the Freedom to Marry HERE.
"As proud members of Georgia's legal community," the pledge reads, "we believe that allowing the freedom to marry for same-sex couples is crucial to fulfilling the promise of liberty and equality for all of Georgia's residents. All Americans, regardless of whom they love, deserve to be treated equally under the law."
This past spring, Freedom to Marry launched Southerners for the Freedom to Marry – a first-of-its-kind, $1 million public education campaign to grow public support for marriage in the Southern states. In Georgia specifically, a plurality of residents (48%) support the freedom to marry, while only 43% oppose it. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis are co-chairs of the effort, alongside 12 other prominent individuals from the South.
The Georgia Lawyers for the Freedom to Marry pledge includes prominent signers from across the state, including Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, and Athens.
Here's what some of the signers are saying:
Patrise M. Perkins-Hooker • Atlanta Attorney
"As we see legal challenges to exclusionary marriage bans continue to move through the American courts at a record pace – including here at home in Georgia – I felt compelled to add my name to this pledge. Laws exist to protect Americans and ensure our freedoms, not to inflict undue harm and hardship on some families and couples just because of who they are."
Lynn Hogue, Professor of Law Emeritus at Georgia State University
"My understanding of the constitutional right of all Americans to equal treatment under the law certainly includes the fundamental freedom of couples to marry. I find this view to be entirely consistent with my strong belief in conservative principles like individual liberty, limited government, and the social importance of strong families."
Tanya Washington • Associate Professor of Family Law at Georgia State University Law School
"State laws prohibiting same-sex marriage and the recognition of out-of-state same-sex marriages are often justified as child protective measures. In reality, these laws harm children by depriving them of a legal parent-child relationship with both parents that serves their best interests. These laws that purportedly defend marriage do so at the expense of children. I support the freedom to marry for same-sex couples because it will ensure that greater numbers of children will be raised in families and have relationships with their parents that enjoy the full recognition of the law."
Steve Dix • Marietta Lawyer
"From time to time in my role as a Navy lawyer in the 1970's, I was assigned to represent gay sailors who were being administratively processed out of the service, simply because it was discovered that they were gay. I cannot honestly say that I was sympathetic to them at that time, but invariably their service records were spotless... I have my own journey of coming to embrace and celebrate marriage equality. There was never an 'Aha!' moment for me, but rather a gradual chance to get to know people and realize – through seeing their struggles and yearning to be embraced as full and equal citizens under the law – just how much marriage equality really matters to me."

Listen Up! Podcasts Are Trending So We Are Too!
It may not always be called 'radio' anymore, but audio communication is not only alive and well – it's an increasingly vital method to reach diverse audiences. It's everywhere—online and on-air, on your mobile phone, and your iPad. You can listen to audio while driving, working, puttering around the house, or taking a walk outdoors. It allows listeners to multi-task, which is critical in today's fast-paced world.
That's why we're so excited to launch our own new World Bank Group channel on SoundCloud, a fast-growing international web platform with more than 300 million users. Many describe SoundCloud as the "YouTube of audio" with millions of audio files that are routinely linked on blogs, websites, and social media. Even President Obama shares his speeches on SoundCloud.

NBA Sixth Man of the Year James Harden is holding out hope that he'll reach terms on a contract extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder by the end of the month.
Harden said Monday at the team's preseason media day that he's willing to sacrifice to make it work and he's focused on "hooping," and not on the contract negotiations.
General manager Sam Presti has repeatedly said the team would like to have Harden back but the reality of the situation includes a tough decision involving the salary cap and potential luxury tax payments for the small-market Thunder.
Harden says his agent, Rob Pelinka, and the Thunder both know how important it is to him to try and get a deal done.

Media mogul/domestic goddess/convicted felon Martha Stewart recently dropped her iPad, breaking the screen. For a stinking peasant like you or me, that would have necessitated a trip to the Apple Store or somewhere else to have it fixed or replaced preferably with AppleCare +. Now Ms. Stewart - whose estimated net worth is around $300 million - certainly could have sent one of her minions to take care of it, but that wasn't good enough - she expected on site service from Apple, then took to Twitter to complain when it didn't happen.
"I just dropped my iPad on the ground and shattered two glass corners. What to do?does one call Apple to come and pick it up or do I take it?" she tweeted on Wednesday.
On Thursday, Stewart added, "I am still waiting for an apple rep to come pick up my IPad. No action yey (sic)"
Brainstorming, Stewart decided that she had a brilliant entrepreneurial idea in the form of a same day delivery exchange through Amazon.com.
But by late Thursday, Stewart realized that she - and her overblown sense of celebrity entitlement - had gotten the better of her when she said, "So is it time to put out the fires and admit I was just pissed off at the fact my precious ipad shattered and I wanted to make light of it?"
By then, unfortunately, Stewart had set off alarms in Cupertino, because apparently someone at Apple's PR team got a hold of Stewart's people, and asked her to tone it down. That didn't set well with the queen of JCPenney home decor.
"i cannot believe that Apple Public Relations is mad at me for tweeting about my Ipad and how to get it fixed! steve jobs gave it to me!" she tweeted.
No, the "steve jobs gave it to me!" comment doesn't make you sound haughty at all, Martha.
She followed that up late last night with some comments about her frustration, then resumed this morning with a statement that the iPad's "Glass should /could be unbreakable."
I'm sure the Gorilla Glass boffins at Corning are gonna get right on that, Your Highness.
