You can use the "remove-stress" script, if that's the only worrying thing 

HOW HOW HOW!?!?! These horrid moods are driving me CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!

Type "remove-stress all" into the DFHack command prompt, or in the in-game console (ctrl-shift-P).

Thank you!! 

Refuse piles are able to be designated very specifically.  Create yourself a room with only diagonal entrances - miasma does not move diagonally. Designate the room as refuse (p menu) then as garbage (I menu). You can also create a refuse pile next to your craftdwarfs by creating a refuse pile (p menu) and refining what can be put there with (q-s). The shells and bones are body parts. The other two designations are true refuse. You can also do just shells by only allowing title, muscle, and oyster body parts. 

I use my refuse/garbage pile to clear rooms of stones by dumping them (d-b-d), which also gives all the lazy dwarfs something to do for a while. Reclaiming (d-b-c) the stones after the rooms are empty is a handy way of moving all the semi-useful stones to a location closer to my crafti-dwarves.

There's still a way to tell them to not go get stuff (fallen comrades/items/etc), but I'm not sure burrows work right now. I tried that and as was indicated before, they treated it as a 'suggestion' rather than an order. I had multiple dorfs (including the mayor) standing around outside the fortress, thirsty, unhappy and with no job, but would NOT go to the burrow.

The request for explaining the alert system would be beneficial :-) I've abandoned numerous fortresses had much fun with the mere fact that I lost 95% of the dorfs to 'got to get the xyz' even with hauling turned off.

On another note: Is there a way to make a sword-dwarf actually use the artifact sword just made by the hot-shot weaponsmaster? I tried direct assignment, but he ignored me.

./data/init/d_init.txt contains:

This allows you to control the number of babies+children in your fortress.  The first number is an absolute cap on the number of babies+children.  The second is a percentage of the current number of adults in your fortress (the default is the essentially meaningless 1000% here).  The lower number is used as the cap.  The cap only prevents further pregancies, so migrant children, multiple births and existing pregnancies from old saves can still push you over the cap.  Setting either number to zero will disallow pregnancies in the fortress.
