Trusted local news leader for Williams AZ and the Grand Canyon
Obituary: Dr. Jim "Doc" Wurgler
Originally Published: November 19, 2019 3:41 p.m.
Dr. Jim Wurgler of Williams, Arizona — known to his friends as JW, J-dub, or Doc — passed away on Nov. 13, 2019 in Flagstaff after suffering a stroke. He went peacefully and gently, surrounded by family. Jim is survived by his wife of 59 years, five children, 15 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren. He is also survived by two sisters, many nieces, nephews and beloved friends.
Dr. Wurgler practiced medicine for more than 4 decades, dedicating himself to community service, health, and wellbeing. He was born in Basin, WY on June 28, 1933 to Nelson and Florence Wurgler. He earned a bachelor of arts degree from Southern Methodist University and a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. He demonstrated his ongoing commitment to the community from his Army service as a physician in Vietnam along with his leadership of the Yosemite Medical Clinic, followed by the Grand Canyon Clinic, and finally at Williams Health Care Center in Williams, AZ.
Mentoring was very important to JW. He revitalized Yosemite National Park's EMT training program in 1978, teaching advanced emergency medicine for several years to the park's rangers. One of his proudest moments was receiving an Honorary Park Ranger award and the title, "The Ranger's Doctor."
In retirement, he was an elected member of the Williams City Council and served as Chair of the Board of Directors for The NARBHA Institute. He also served as president and board member of the Sustainable Economic Development Initiative; Board member of the Grand Canyon Association; Board member of The Guidance Center; and member of the Northern Arizona Council of Governments Economic Development Committee, the Arizona Academy of Family Practice, Habitat for Humanity, and Arizona Clean and Beautiful. He also served as a medical consultant to NASA for Space Station Freedom. Recently, he was recognized by The NARBHA Institute with an Endowed Chair in his honor at Northern Arizona University to illuminate behavioral health and criminal justice work in the community and at the academic level.
Doc's last major effort was to assist North Country HealthCare in establishing a family practice residency in rural medicine. He relished the opportunity to help aspiring doctors understand and appreciate rural medicine. He was going to lead the first group of residents on "rural grand rounds" in summer 2020. Doc was very proud and excited about this project.
In lieu of flowers to the Wurgler family, please consider a contribution to the North Country HealthCare Foundation to support Family Medicine Residency (2920 N. 4th St, Flagstaff, AZ 86004). Or an alternative nonprofit such as the Grand Canyon Conservancy, (PO Box 399, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023), Mono Lake Committee (PO Box 29, Lee Vining, CA 93541), or any historical railway restoration project.
A celebration of his life is being planned in late winter or early spring (2020). Per Doc's wishes, there will be no funeral or religious services.
"The single most important guiding principal in my life for as long as I can remember has been The Golden Rule...treat others as you want to be treated." — J.W.

Q: Compiling a file in java I've been searching the internet for about a week, including copying YouTube tutorials letter by letter. I've just started using java, and my computer refuses to compile and then run any code I give to it. does anyone have any suggestions? I think there could be a problem with my computer e.g. I've added or removed a file I shouldn't have. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. the file name I'm using is 'Hello World  and its in notepad
tried typing up code in both types of notepad (ones that have the logo as a whole notepad, and ones that have a single paper as a logo) and I've tried numerous lines of code in CMD
in notepad
public class Hello World
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        System.out.println("Hello World");
    }
}

in cmd
javac Hello World

javac Hello World.java

javac Hello World.class

javac Hello World.txt

javac HelloWorld.java etc.

these are some of the commands ive tried in cmd
I expect 'hello world' to be printed, instead I get:
command: javac Hello World.class
error: invalid flag: World.class
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use --help for a list of possible options

command:javac Hello World.txt
error: Class names, 'Hello,World.txt', are only accepted if annotation processing is explicitly requested

Command:javac Hello World.java
error: file not found: Hello,World.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use --help for a list of possible options

A: You can't have a space in a class name:
public class HelloWorld

Because this is public, it needs to be in a file called HelloWorld.java.
Then compile with javac HelloWorld.java, and run with java HelloWorld.

A: No spaces are allowed in class names. Hence, remove the space from class name and file name.
Now go to the directory you created the java file in. e.g. cd ~/Docuements/projects
There run following one by one:
javac HelloWorld.java

java HelloWorld

Clinical scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Memory and Aging Center have teamed up with preclinical researchers at the Gladstone Institutes to advance Alzheimer's disease research by developing a comparable test of learning and memory for humans as the one most commonly used in mice. This cross-disciplinary collaboration is a first in neurological disease research.
Mouse models are useful for studying Alzheimer's disease, but they have their limitations when comparing results in humans. To date, all promising drugs that cured or prevented dementia in mice have failed in the clinic. One potential reason for this discrepancy is that the laboratory tests used in animal models of the disease do not resemble the clinical assessments given to patients, and thus are not predictive of human memory performance.
In the new study, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, preclinical and clinical scientists came together to address this problem. They developed a virtual version of the Morris water maze--a widely used method of assessing learning and memory in mice--so that results could be compared more easily and accurately across species.
"So far, there has been a poor track record of moving things from preclinical discoveries into successful clinical trials," says senior author Steve Finkbeiner, MD, PhD, a senior investigator at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease and a professor of neurology and physiology at UCSF. "The motivation for this research was to assess how similar the two species are in terms of problem-solving and learning in order to improve the translation of research between mice and humans. The insights we gain can help us better understand how outcomes from drug trials in a mouse might translate to a human."
The study compared the performance of normal and Alzheimer's disease (AD) model mice on the Morris water maze with the performance of healthy control subjects and early-stage AD patients on a video game version of the task. In the maze, mice must swim to a platform that is hidden in the water. The animals execute the task several times, which requires remembering where the platform is located based on visual cues around the pool. In the video game version, participants hunt for buried treasure in a circular field, also using visual cues from the environment to remember where the treasure is hidden.
Both assessments test spatial learning and require proper activation of the hippocampus, a brain structure that is one of the regions affected earliest in Alzheimer's disease. Both the patients and AD model mice were significantly impaired in terms of the distance traveled and the time it took for them to locate the hidden object.
"The beauty of this translational work is that we merged the studies and performed all of the analysis using the same methodology, so for the first time we were able to compare deficits directly across species," says co-first author Pascal Sanchez, PhD, a staff research scientist at Gladstone. "It was fascinating to observe that both mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and patients in the early stage of this condition had very similar levels of deficits on the task. We can now test therapeutic strategies using the same memory test across species."
The new test is being used in research programs at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center, which employs advanced diagnostic techniques, including genetics, imaging, behavioral assessments, neurology, and neuropsychology to treat people with age-related brain diseases. "It is exciting to integrate the basic science research of the Gladstone Institutes with the clinical science of the Memory and Aging Center," says co-first author Kate Possin, PhD, an assistant professor of neuropsychology at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center. "We think that this type of close collaboration will lay the groundwork for finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease."
Other researchers on the study include Clifford Anderson-Bergman, Allyson Davis, and Iris Lo from the Gladstone Institutes, and Erica Johnson, Nick Bott, Tom Kiely, Michelle Fenesy, Bruce Miller, and Joel Kramer from the UCSF Memory and Aging Center. Scientists from Stanford University and Microsoft Research also took part in the work. Funding was provided by the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a National Institutes of Health Extramural Research Facilities Improvement Program Project, the Larry L. Hillblom Foundation, the Hellman Family Foundation, the Taube/Koret Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, the American Federation for Aging Research, and the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience.

The original dome was completed in 537 AD. 25 years later, in 562 AD, it was replaced by the current dome which is 6.25 m taller, giving the church its current interior height of 55.60 m.
The dome is supported by semidomes acting as buttresses and the interior features coloured marble colonnades supported by columns topped with elaborately carved capitals.
When completed in 537 AD, the Haghia Sophia was the largest church in the world, and Constantinople (Istanbul) was the world's largest city.
Today, the Haghia Sophia is the 4th largest church building in the world.
Following the invasion of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453, Mehmet II claimed Haghia Sophia for himself; the building was converted into a mosque and the four minarets were added.
In the 1930s, Kemal Ataturk, the President of Turkey, converted the building into a museum.
The Haghia Sophia (Divine Wisdom) comprised the world's largest enclosed space for nearly 1,000 years.
Eight calligraphic discs, four of which are the largest examples of calligraphy in the Islamic world, embellish the interior and bear the names of Allah and Mohammed (above the apse) and the four successive Caliphs.
The building's central interior part measures 100 meters long and 70 meters wide (interior dimensions of the central praying hall), and is capped by a magnificent dome with a diameter of 31.87 meters and an interior height of 55.60 m.
There are frescoes of Archangels whose faces are hidden behind their upper pair of wings (as defined in the Bible) - on each four corners under the main dome.
The Haghia Sophia was built during the reign of Justinian The Great - the most famous of all Byzantine emperors. Justinian not only built Great buildings, but also managed to restore a large amount of the former Roman Empire's western territories (like Italy, southern France, eastern Spain and northwestern Africa) under Byzantine rule; thus partially reuniting the Roman Empire. The victories of his able general, Belisarius, had great importance in his efforts to reunite the Roman Empire. Justinian also created a famous set of legal codes (Codex Justinianus: The Codes Of Justinian, 529-534 AD), which are still used today as the basis for modern legal systems in the Western world.

701 Chartres St.
$6 for adults; free for kids 12 and younger
Tues-Sun 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Museums, Sightseeing Type
Flanking Jackson Square in the heart of the French Quarter, the Cabildo was originally constructed in 1799 (when New Orleans was under Spanish rule), as the seat of the Spanish government. Later on, it was here that the Louisiana Purchase took place and after that, this Spanish-style building served as city hall and the Supreme Court. Today, the Cabildo is home to a three-floor branch of the Louisiana State Museum, which recounts Louisiana history with the help of Native American objects, Colonial-era paintings, and even Napoleon Bonaparte's death mask. Visitors can also see the room where the Louisiana Purchase was finalized. If you're interested in more recent history, you'll find that at the Cabildo, too. An entire floor is devoted to Hurricane Katrina – the 2005 storm that left New Orleans and surrounding regions devastated. Within the exhibit you'll find multimedia displays and artifacts collected during the cleanup of both Katrina and Hurricane Rita.
When you're not admiring the many artifacts displayed here, take a minute to marvel at the building's architecture. Recent travelers said the Cabildo's design is worth seeing, even if you're not interested in the history within. And while you're here, consider stopping by the St. Louis Cathedral, located next door on Chartres Street. The bus routes servicing the area include the No. 5 and 55. The Cabildo is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission costs $6 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and is free for children 12 and younger.

#1 Frenchmen Street
If you want an authentic New Orleans experience more removed from the touristy areas of Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, head to the lively Frenchmen Street. A popular spot for locals, Frenchmen Street is a four-block stretch of live music, bars, restaurants, night clubs and art galleries. Here, not only will you find fewer crowds (albeit not by much), but you'll also encounter cheaper eats and drinks, and better music – it's kind of like Bourbon Street's hipper, trendier cousin. If you don't consider yourself a night owl, the Palace Market (open daily 7 p.m. to 1 a.m.) is a shopping haven where locals sell homemade art and jewelry.
Recent visitors agreed that a trip to New Orleans isn't complete without stopping by Frenchmen Street. Some even suggest skipping the more crowded and touristy Bourbon Street and instead meandering along Frenchmen Street where you'll find live music, specifically jazz, and great bars. Travelers and locals alike love The Spotted Cat, Three Muses and d.b.a thanks to their extensive beverage selections, fun atmospheres and, of course, talented musicians. "Frenchmen Street is what Bourbon Street used to be ... it's about four blocks of more laid-back, old-style jazz clubs. Nothing fancy to them, very local with great music. A much more laid-back area to stroll from bar to bar and listen to music," said Isabelle Van Bockel, a concierge at the JW Marriott New Orleans for 10 years.

Chicken Coop Designs - FREE CHICKEN COOP PLANS!
But now that we've moved I'm again back to square one in building a new coop. Since it had been so long since building my last coop, I scoured the net for a functional, yet nice looking coop – yes, both form and function is okay right?There are hundreds of different chicken coop designs out there so narrowing it down to just the right one for you can be challenging. I hope to provide enough information for you to make the decision a bit easier!
How Many Chickens Will You Have?
If you're looking to build a coop, I've included a bunch of links to free plans on the right side of page! You'll be limited to only those designs…but there are a lot of plans there which are very functional, lovely, and did I say FREE! When looking over those plans, you can always add your own design twists too.
If you are simply wanting to raise a small number of chickens for egg production, you'll want to look at a coop that will house 2 – 10 chickens…Having said that, if you are looking at getting around 10 chickens, you will likely be wanting a medium sized coop. More on this in a bit.
They often do not have floors and can be moved every few days or weeks from one part of your lawn to another so the grass does not get trampled down. This is ideal for raising chickens in urban areas where there may be limited space for them to run around. It's also beneficial for both your chickens and your lawn.
The chicken droppings provide great fertilizer for your lawn and, by moving the coop often, the chickens get access to new bugs and fresh grass. Plus, you don't have to worry about cleaning up the droppings!
If chicken tractors aren't your ideal design, there are TONS of small coops that will work nicely. If you live in an urban setting, a small coop positioned right where you want it will be just fine!
Small chicken coops like this may not have the convenience of wheels (like chicken tractors) for moving to different areas of your yard, but because of their smaller stature, they can still be picked up and moved with 2 or more people.
Whether you choose a mobile or stationary design for your coop is entirely your preference and what works best for your situation.
Really, any coop that will house 10 or more chickens can be considered a medium to large sized chicken coop. If you want (or already have) a large flock of chickens, you will be looking at bigger designs.
A coop designed for a large flock is less likely to be mobile, but I have seen pictures of some very large coops that are on wheels and can be moved. Generally speaking though, it's more likely to be stationary which also has its advantages.
A coop similar to the one pictured (right) can likely house up to 50 or more chickens. You may not want that many chickens, but it never hurts to build your coop a little bigger than you think you'll need. I realized this very early on in our chicken raising adventures.
Our original plan in 2003 was to house 8 – 10 chickens. So our 4'x8′ coop allowed plenty of space for that flock size. But we quickly found out that raising chickens was a lot of fun and we suddenly wanted more!
We were fortunate in that we also had an another shed on our yard that we were able to convert into another coop. This allowed us to grow our flock size to nearly 60 chickens over a span of 12 years.
Perhaps you are more disciplined than we were in keeping your flock to a certain size…but I wanted to share our experience as something to consider when designing your own coop.
To check out pre-assembled coops you can buy online, check out these.
If you're OK with using a plan or picture as simply a guide for building your own coop, that can really open up a lot of design possibilities. For example, you can check blueprints of coops online or try to simply replicate a design just from looking at a good picture of a coop.
That's essentially how I made my own coop. As I mentioned earlier, there were a lot of points during the project where I felt overwhelmed and had to go back online or check in with a carpenter friend on what to do next.
But the advantage of using this method is that I could adjust the width, length, and height to suit my own personal needs.
For example, if you see a design for a coop online and decide you want to build one similar but, after checking the dimensions, you realize it's way too big or small for your purposes. Then you can simply adjust the dimensions to the size of coop you're wanting to build.
By really studying a good plan or picture of a coop, you can get a pretty good idea of what it will take to make a similar structure.
Obviously this will make building the coop a bit harder, but it still allows you to build a coop of the same design…but to your own specs. If the thought of making these modifications scares you, I don't blame you! We all come to a project like this with varying degrees of construction experience.

Last weekend, fans who attended the Creation Entertainment Official Star Trek Convention were entertained by many actors from various Star Trek series, including Nichelle Nichols, Leonard Nimoy, Grace Lee Whitney, the Duras Sisters, Connor Trinneer, Dominic Keating, Nana Visitor, Rene Auberjonois and other guest stars.
On the first day of the convention, held in San Francisco, Richard Arnold, former assistant to Gene Roddenberry, started things off with a 45th anniversary slideshow and reminisced about 1970s fandom and the birth of the Star Trek conventions.
Grace Lee Whitney told the audience about her favorite Star Trek episode, The Enemy Within, which featured two Kirks, a good and a bad one. She was bruised during the scene when the bad Kirk grabs her and drags her across the floor of his cabin, she told the audience. Whitney also shared details about the "Janice Rand look" which included makeup, the way she was lit and of course, that famous basket-weave hair-do.
The final day of the convention featured actors from Star Trek: Enterprise and Deep Space Nine. Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating entertained the audience and updated them on the actors' current projects. When asked if the cast members stay in touch, Keating gave a reply which will surely please Scott Bakula fans, "Connor and I are very close," he said. "And every Christmas we go to Scott Bakula's Christmas party. I'm still on the list for that." Keating also said that fans will be seeing a lot of Scott Bakula at conventions this year, because he's signed on for several. "He recently remodeled his house," said Keating.
The final appearance was that of Rene Auberjonois and Nana Visitor, on stage together. The pair talked about their careers and current projects, and of course, about their projects. Auberjonois told the audience why he developed a gruff voice for Odo. "When I went in to audition for the role … The casting director said nobody had been grouchy enough." So Auberjonois chose to go into the audition already in character as Odo, gruff voice and all.
Auberjonois and Visitor also gave a unique dramatic presentation called "Cross Our Hearts: Poems and Prose," which they plan to do at other conventions this year.


Died: September_26, 1876}_TexasPerhaps the most controversial of all ranking Confederate officers, this North Carolina native was a writer, traveler, respected artillery commander and plantation owner prior to The Civil War. Many of his actions during major Western Theater battles in which he fought are still widely debated.
After graduating from West Point Braxton Bragg entered the U. S. Army as a second lieutenant on July_1, 1837. He fought in the Seminole Wars, 1837-1841 and served under Zachary Taylor during the Mexican American War. At Monterrey, Captain Bragg distinguished himself during bitter street fighting and in an attack on the cathedral and main plaza, but it was during the battle of Buena Vista that his "...prompt and fearless conduct" saved the Americans from defeat. He is credited with repulsing a frontal attack through effective use of his artillery, then holding off an attack on General Zachary Taylor's flank while Colonel Jefferson Davis organized a defense of the position. After his brave action he was twice the target of assassins.
His resignation in 1855 when he disagreed with Secretary of War Davis is cited by some historians as evidence the Bragg-Davis friendship was not as close as many others believe. Bragg returned to serve in the Louisiana militia until he was appointed Brigadier General by the Confederate States of American in 1861. He was promoted to full general shortly after the disastrous defeat of Rebel forces at Pittsburg Landing (Shiloh), eventually relieving General P. G. T. Beauregard because of Old Bory's ill-health and an inability to get along with his commanding officer, Jefferson Davis.
After a sweeping move around Buell's army, Bragg moved north on the Cumberland Plateau towards Louisville, Kentucky. General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia moved into Maryland. Many consider this the high-water mark of the Confederacy. The British were on the verge of granting recognition to the South.
Yet it did not hold. After what many consider to be a tactical victory at Perryville, KY. (he lost fewer men but withdrew from the battlefield) Bragg felt the entire campaign had been worthless and retreated across much of the ground he had gained. After the battle of Murfreesboro (Stone's River) on December 31, 1862 and January 2, 1863, Bragg again withdrew across the Duck River and established a headquarters in Tullahoma. Bragg's old friend Jefferson Davis sent Joseph E. Johnston to visit him in Tennessee. Davis actually wanted Johnston to relieve Bragg, but Johnston refused.
Bragg began to suffer serious medical problems and during the Tullahoma Campaign he would frequently be transported by ambulance because boils made it impossible for him to travel by horseback. The Army of Tennessee ended up back in Chattanooga by July 4, 1863, soundly defeated by various opponents, most recently William S. Rosecrans. After delaying for nearly 6 weeks, Rosecrans feinted, moving a small detachment of artillery north of the city while ordering a massive troop movement under cover of the rugged mountains to the south of the city. Bragg retreated to protect his supply line, the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Rosecrans pursued Bragg to the banks of a small North Georgia creek, where the Union general ran into stiffer than expected resistance. He began to move north, protecting his flank with the river. Bragg launched an attack on September 19, 1863 that would be named by the creek near which it started, Chickamauga. Routed on the second day of battle, the Federal Army retreated to Chattanooga. Bragg had won the greatest Confederate victory of the war, but refused the advice of almost all his generals, including James Longstreet and Nathan Bedford Forrest and did not attack the retreating Yankees. When President Davis visited in October to discuss the dissatisfaction of Bragg's subordinates, he kept Bragg and transferred the other generals.
Bragg was soundly defeated at the battle of Chattanooga, after which he returned to Richmond, Virginia, and served as an aide to Davis.
After the war, having lost his Louisiana plantation, Bragg became a civil engineer.
General Bragg is one of the most controversial figures in the War of Southern Independence. He instilled a sense of discipline when he took over the Army of Mississippi (later renamed the Army of Tennessee) in 1862, turning what one soldier called a mob into an organized group of fighting men. Brilliant military strategy was undermined by an inability to work with subordinates, and his skills on a tactical level were lacking. Repeatedly he showed an ineptness at making critical decisions during major battles, including Pittsburg Landing (Shiloh), Murfreesboro (Stone's River), Chickamauga, and Chattanooga.
