1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to manufacturing methods and more particularly to methods of manufacturing coil cores with flange-embedded connecting pins.
2. Prior Art
Coil bodies or cores are frequently formed by injection-molding and include central core bodies or winding tubes having axially spaced-apart radially projecting flanges with connection pins embedded in one of the flanges.
Typically, many coil designs, such as for electromagnetic relays and the like, require coil bodies or cores which are specifically designed to provide the greatest possible area for the coil winding while maintaining an overall objective of providing the smallest possible complete coil. In order to achieve such constructions, the coil core must be formed having flanges which have axially thin walls. However, since the flange walls generally have to receive and hold connecting pins to be connected to the ends of the winding, the thin walls present a problem in that it becomes extremely difficult to provide a dimensionally stable flange-pin lock firmly holding the connecting pin in the flange. It is well known that in order to provide a sufficiently stable mechanical lock on a straight piece of wire embedded in an injection molded part, the portion of the wire encased in the injected material must have a certain mimimum length. When the thin material of the flange is such as to prevent this minimum length from being established, the connecting pin must be deformed over a portion of its axial length which is embedded in the flange.
Such deformation of the wire connection pins in injected-molded cores has been used. One method of manufacturing such devices involves the crushing of the wire in the injection mold either through a joggling of the wire by means of movable slide mold members or through the provision of additional, extraneous, bending devices. Such prior art methods involve, on the one hand, an additional bending stage, and on the other hand, an inability to predict the direction the deformation of the wire will undergo. Further, in order for any degree of success to occur, the prior art methods can only be used where the total volume of plastic in the area of the connection pin is such as to guarantee that an adequate mass of injected material will be present on each side of the embedded wire. Thus, such methods are not usable whenever the connecting pin is to be fixed at any spot on the coil flange which is defined by close tolerances and where it cannot be guaranteed that a large plastic mass will be present, such as closely adjacent the peripheral edge of the flange.
It would therefore be an advance in the art to provide a method of embedding connecting pins in thin flange coil cores which increase the reliability of the embedding of the pin while at the same time allowing usage of thin flanges.
It is thus a principal object of this invention to provide a method for the proper attachment and seating of connecting wire pins in coil cores flanges during the course of injection molding of the core. Further, it is part of the object to insure that the bending of the pin in the embedded area occurs in a manner which assures that the pin will be bent in a given direction thereby allowing the pin to be placed at an optimum position while assuring a stable connection.
These objectives are met by initially positioning the connecting pins between opposed faces of the injection mold along a parting line of the mold and by constructing the mold such that during closure, the pins will be bent by engagement with a striker projection formed as a part of one of the mold members.
In accordance with the method of this invention, it is assured that the connecting pin involved will be bent in a predetermined direction so that an optimum attachment of the connecting pin to the core will be insured even under the most restrictive of dimensional placement conditions. Additionally, it is extremely technically simple to place the method into effect. Further, the method is very economical in that it does not require the use of any additional and separate bending devices, any additional and separate mold slides or parts, or any additional assembly activities.
In a particularly preferred and illustrated embodiment, the connecting pins are embedded in the coil flange during injection-molding of the flange with the pins aligned parallel to the axis of the coil. In this construction, it is expedient if the ends of the connecting pins which extend from the flange toward the coil winding space be bent in a direction which is approximately perpendicular to the coil axis, the bending taking place after injection. By so bending the pins, unimpeded wrapping of the winding wire can thereafter occur. In order to facilitate the bending of the pin outwardly from the coil core, it is preferable to provide a recess in the flange outward of the connecting pin into which the pin may be bent. Where, for reasons of economy of space, it is desired that the connecting pins not extend outwardly beyond the coil flange, the pins can thereafter be bent back into an axis parallel position with the coil after the coil has been wound. In order to allow this to occur, it is necessary that the pins be located radially from the coil core a distance greater than the maximum winding diameter.
In order to maintain the construction of the injection mold as simple as possible while providing for practicing of the invention, the space between the connecting pins is preferably greater than the core winding tube diameter. In this manner, removal of the molded ring from the mold with the pins embedded in place is just as easy as removal of standard coil cores. Additional slide members in the mold are not, therefore, necessitated in the practice of this invention.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, although variations and modifications may be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the disclosure and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partially in section, of a coil core having embedded pins;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 illustrating a coil core according to this invention;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines III--III of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary greatly enlarged view of the pin-embedding flange portion of the core of FIG. 2 in place in an injection mold as viewed at one point in the practice of the method of this invention.
FIGS. 1 through 3 illustrate coil cores 1 which include a central cylindrical winding tube 2 having flanges 3 and 4 at the axial ends thereof. During injection-molding of the core, connection pins 5 and 6 are embedded in the flange 3 parallel to the axis of the coil. As is known to those practiced in the art, the connecting pins are subjected to various mechanical loads, including a thrust or tensile load along the longitudinal direction of the pin as illustrated by the arrows F1 of FIG. 2. Such loads are encountered, at among other times, during assembly. Further, bending loads, as indicated by the arrow F2 in FIG. 2, also occur, particularly when the pins are bent outwardly to allow opening the space between the flanges completely for winding of the coil on the tube 2. This bending occurs by moving the pin end 7 in an oblique bending movement from the molded-in position illustrated by the broken line of FIG. 2 to the bent position illustrated by the solid line.
In addition to the relative axial thinness of the flanges, it is often desired to place the pins close to the radial periphery or margin of the flange. This results in a very small thickness S of injected-molded material between the pin and the periphery. Because of this, it is necessary to bend the connecting pins to resist the loading forces applied as a F1 and F2. Further, because of the thinness of the material in the area S, it is necessary that the bend imparted to the pin be a bend in a predetermined position or direction.
As discussed above, in order to accomplish this desired and limited bending of the pin during manufacture of the injected-molded coil, the individual pin to be bent, for example, the pin 5 illustrated in FIG. 4, is positioned in the injection mold along an interface or line of separation between mold parts, such as the parts 8 and 9. The mold parts are configured to receive the pin and to firmly hold it when the mold parts are closed. As illustrated, this can be accomplished by mating grooves in the mold parts 8 and 9, which grooves snugly and tightly receive the pin when the mold is closed. One of the mold parts, in the embodiment illustrated, the part 9, is provided with a projection which extends outwardly from the mold part face beyond the center line of the laid-in pin forming a striker 10.
Thus, during closure of the mold parts 8 and 9, the pin 5 will be bent by the striker 10 to form a bend 11 which extends in a given direction predetermined by the projection 10. In the embodiment illustrated, the portion of the mold 9 illustrated forms the periphery of the flange 3 and the projection 10 extends radially toward the body of the core. The pin is aligned in the mold part 8 and is in contact with the mold parts, both above and below the cavity for the flange 3. Thus, during closure, the striker will encounter the pin 11 in an unsupported area of the pin spanning the cavity for the flange. This will cause the pin to bend inwardly toward the main portion of the core. The striker 10 is bordered on either axial side thereof by cavity portions as illustrated. In this manner, when the mold is filled with plastic during the injection process, the pin will be fully embedded in the flange adjacent the periphery since the material will fill the cavity for the flange 3, including the portions of the cavity formed on either axial side of the projection 10. These portions are open to the main cavity for the flange 3. Further, as illustrated, the mold 9 may have a ledge-forming portion 14 which reduces slightly the axial height of the flange periphery outwardly of the pin at the axially inner face of the flange. This provides a step into which the pin may be bent as shown at 7 of FIG. 2. In this manner, the bent pin is fully clear of the winding area. This bending occurs after injection molding when the pin has been firmly seated in the flange.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, the winding of the wire of the coil has a maximum finished diameter as indicated at 12. The flange 3 is designed to have a dimension such that the pins 5 and 6 will be positioned exterior of the diameter 12. This allows the pin ends 7 to be bent back inwardly from the solid line position illustrated in FIG. 2 after the coil has been wound.
Further, in order to allow use of a simple, uncomplex mold, the connecting pins are preferably positioned in such a manner that they are spaced apart a distance which is greater than the diameter of the molded core winding tube d. In this manner, removal of the injected core with the pins embedded from the mold can be simply accomplished with a straight withdrawal. Further, embedding of the pins during molding and the bending of the pins during mold closure is thus possible without the formation of any additional mold parts, such as independently moving slidable mold parts.
Although the teachings of our invention have herein been discussed with reference to specific theories and embodiments, it is to be understood that these are by way of illustration only and that others may wish to utilize our invention in different designs or applications.

By Billy Graham • January 26, 2006 • Topics: Angels, Heaven
I know your sister was sincere, and I respect her sorrow and her desire to remember and honor her son–but no, we don't become angels when we die and go to heaven.
The truth is, when we die and go to heaven we become even greater than the angels! The angels are spiritual beings who were created by God to be His servants, and God has given them great authority and power to do His will. And at the present time the angels are greater than we are, because God made us "a little lower than the heavenly beings" (Psalm 8:5).
But the Bible also says that in heaven we will be higher than the angels–and the reason is because we will be like Christ. The Bible says, "Do you not know that we will judge angels?" (1 Corinthians 6:3). While this verse may be referring to the rebellious angels who chose to follow Satan, it still implies that our status after death will be above that of the angels.
All of this, I know, may seem like theological hairsplitting to you. But don't lose sight of the central truth: When we know Christ, we know that this life is not all, but ahead of us is the joy of heaven. May your sister take comfort in this truth, and in the fact that her little son now is beyond all the pain and suffering of this world. Is this your hope as well? It can be, as you give your life to Christ and trust Him as your Savior.
This is a real pet peeve of mine. So many people speak of their lost loved ones as Angels. I say my lost son is with Jesus and the Angels!!
thank you very much,i really appreciate you.may god make me and you and every one of you familys and my familys make heaven
am so interested in learning more about the good news.and also ask some questions
Rick Bolten@ At the end of you message you say "But we are not angels there…angels are angels and we…well we are home and you will know in your heart that you are HOME. And you will feel great peace. But we are not angels, not from what I saw and heard." Read this article from Billy Graham and you will find your answer. http://billygraham.org/answer/do-we-become-angels-when-we-die-and-go-to-heaven/
But, you were right. Just some details sense you weren't sure.
Earthly lower than angels but heaven greater than angels.
Thank you! I like what you answered.
who wrote the bible anyway? There is proof that the most important teachings of Christ have been removed by the church centuries ago. What is the proof that any of this is true?
Thank you for that. I needed it. My brother in-laws parents died and he is going through some tough times and I needed that message. Thank you.
My daughter died 2 weeks ago and I am waiting for a sign that she is happy in Heaven. I am told I will see an image of her as I'm awakening from sleep.
God comforts the mourning. If you have faith and put your trust in Christ, he will give you signs. You will know it's from God. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Heaven is perfect. No sadness, sorrow or pain. God bless you. I also lost my child 9 months ago. Pray and ask God to give you strength each day.
A few years ago I was hurt in a construction accident and required extensive spinal surgery. A few months after the surgery I was sent to physical therapy at which time a blood clot released and made its way to my lungs and long story short…I died. Was only gone for 4 and a half minutes but long enough to know…there is a heaven…there is a God…he knows your name and you will be at peace. They sent me back..though I really didn't want to come back but knew I had to. But we are not angels there…angels are angels and we…well we are home and you will know in your heart that you are HOME. And you will feel great peace. But we are not angels, not from what I saw and heard.
Heart soothing and uplifting

Can't Wait for the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor? Order a 2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged
We're getting closer and closer to the on-sale date of the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor, but time's just not passing quickly enough, is it? If you think so and you just have to have an aluminum-bodied off-road monster right now, Hennessey has got you covered.
2016 Ford F-150 to Offer CNG / Propane Upfitting Options
Gasoline is pretty cheap these days, considering not too long ago we were at $4 per gallon across the country. But there's a type of automotive fuel that's even less expensive, and that's compressed natural gas (CNG).
Ford F-150 EcoBoost Growing in Popularity
The EcoBoost V6 was introduced by Ford to offer an alternative to a gas-guzzling V8 that offered the same (or more) power and torque. While many of you here at Ford Truck Enthusiasts would rather have your F-150 with a V8, more people than ever are getting their trucks with an EcoBoost.
The 2015 Ford F-150 is AAA's Greenest Pickup
I know this is going to sound crazy, but the big red truck you see here is actually green. AAA ranked the 2015 Ford F-150 the winner of its 2015 Green Car Guide's Pickup Truck category.
Will the 2015 Ram 1500 Rebel Be a Raptor-Killer?
I got excited when I laid eyes upon the truck you see above. I thought, "Oh yeah, Ram is taking on the Raptor!"

Bryzgalov complete **** the bed against Jersey; we just put four past Miller. 5 - 2 Penguins. Malkin wakes up and has a 4 point night, all goals and primary assists. The first period is dominated by the Penguins, with Crosby scoring a spectacular unassisted goal and Neal coverting on two laser-sharp passes from Geno. Unfortunately, the Flyers wake up early in the 2nd and Fleury lets in a soft goal courtesy of Talbot, to cut into our 3 - 0 lead. Fleury also gets screwed over a few minutes later when the referee misses an interference call on Briere, putting Fleury badly out of position and netting Giroux a lucky goal. In response, Malkin goes into beast mode and takes over the game, scoring 2 more late in the 2nd. Confident that victory is already assured while also frustrated by the usual Philly cheap shots, the boys gets a little sloppy in the 3rd, making defensive gaffes, and taking some bad retaliation penalties. Luckily, Fleury plays one of the best periods of his career to prevent Philly from charging back and allowing the Pens to maintain a 3 goal lead in a chippy 20 minutes dominated by the Flyers. After the game, a gang of obnoxious Philly fans who made the trip across the state make childish remarks about Crosby and try to start **** in the parking lot with an unassuming young father in a Fleury T-Shirt and his two young boys in matching Winter Classic Crosby jerseys, only to get their ***** kicked by a huge bouncer-looking guy in a Craig Adams coat. To make matters worse for the ********, they're uninsured and have to auction off their season tickets and sell all their vintage Flyers memorabilia to pay for the resulting treatment at UPMC, which is presided over by a charismatic young doctor with a fancy Penguins watch.

PR advice for the Balloon Boy family
With even defense lawyer David Lane acknowledging that charges are likely to be issued soon in the Balloon Boy saga, Richard Heene and the rest of his clan have stopped saying "yes" to every media interview request -- and that's probably for the best given the mistakes the family made before zipping their lips. A blog from SE2, Eric Sondermann's Denver-based PR firm, points out some basic mistakes in the Heenes' first attempts at communicating their message by way of six tips they clearly didn't follow:
1. Credibility matters. If this whole embarrassing debacle was truly not a publicity stunt, don't spend your first 24 hours being interviewed on every possible national news program.
2. Emergency calls first. Then media calls. (9-1-1 before 9News.)
3. Pick the right spokesperson. In 99 percent of cases, this should not be a six year old. They have an unfortunate tendency to tell the truth.
4. Appearances matter. When your parenting skills are under scrutiny, put your puking son to bed... not on the Today show.
5. Practice, practice, practice. The "I'm Sorry I Yelled at Him" moment must appear heartfelt. Reality TV only works when it looks real.
6. Know any vulnerability that might make you appear batshit crazy (i.e. Wife Swap appearances, You Tube videos, 20-foot flying saucer balloon "crafts".)
Yes, appearing batshit crazy is bad, Mr. Heene. Nice haircut, though.

Call me lazy, backward, a troglodyte, whatever
I didn't create the problem, I'm a victim like you
I'm not buying a new PC. Even though the one I have is embarrassingly old, going on three years now, and even though it crashes once a day, I'm sticking with it for now. Why? Because I have work to do and I don't have an IT staff. I'm the IT staff, just like everyone else around here is, and we all have work to do. And Microsoft makes that hard enough with their stupid be-smarter-than-me tricks and arcane rules to get something done. I spend a good part of the day reading emails, visiting websites, and editing. All of those operations and others require saving things. Saving them in the right place so they can be found again, and indexed. So as soon as I get to the point when it's time to file something, which I put off for as long as possible (and hence too many apps are open, contributing to crashes), it's clickity-click time as I work my way through the folders to get to the depository where the file should reside. And if I should need to create a new folder, well, that's a bit like Russian roulette. I begin with opening up Explorer. And then, just as I'm about to select a folder, Windows decides it should show all the other folders on my machine and whatever I was looking at has now moved. If I happened to be impatient and clicked on something as soon as I opened Explorer, the odds are I will have clicked on something I didn't want, or may not have authorization for, which is another time-eater as I try to back my way out of that punishment. So it's click on Explorer, and then wait for its cleverness, and then try to do something. What was it? Oh yes, make a new folder. So I click down through the folders to the place I want to put the new one, click on "New," and then as I start typing the name, something inter-rupts Windows' attention and I'm no longer in the folder, which now says New. I probably lose an hour a day at the least due to this nonsense, which is one reason why I and others have to put so many hours in a day to get anything done.
We spend more time trying to work than we do actually working.
So it's time to get a new computer. One with faster and more memory, and a newer graphics board. But if I were to do that, it would take me at least a day, if not two or even three, to reload all the apps, move all the files and folders, reload all the drivers, reload all the macros and bookmarks, try to find the licenses and codes, the passwords (you already know how I feel about #!#@# passwords), and one day have a partially functional new machine, which I will spend the next three to six months tweaking to get things really running right.
There are disk-imaging programs like Ghost, Ture Image, Nitra, and transfer programs, and even iTunes. I've tried them, and they did work on some programs. But who has nothing but new apps and the latest upgraded apps? And that's a failure point. That's when you know you've gone to hell, and oh please flying spaghetti monster, tell me where that license is. Yes, yes, I know it's now 7 p.m. and I didn't get anything productive done today, but I think I almost have it this time. Damn. I don't have it.
So you use the new system and each time you try to load a program that didn't transfer completely or properly according to Microsoft's or the app developer's licensing rules, you go through the process of trying to install it on your new machine. Or you look for a work-around using some other application, or you buy yet another one.
I know I'm going to have to bite the bullet, but I contend that not only has Windows 10 not helped the PC slump, it and the policies within it are a bigger deterrence to upgrading hardware than price, competitive platforms, or lack of exciting new programs. Who needs the pain? s

Fired Dolphins Trainer Kevin O'Neill Receives NFL Trainer of the Year Award
It was an odd week for former Miami Dolphins athletic trainer Kevin O'Neill. After getting pink-slipped by owner Stephen Ross for his involvement in the Incognito scandal he was awarded one of his professions highest accolades. On Friday, he was given the Fain-Cain Memorial Award for Outstanding Athletic Trainer of the Year by the NFL Physician's Society at the NFL Combine.
O'Neill may be a great trainer, but the Ted Wells report didn't make him look like such a good boss.
Richie Incogntio, Mike Pouncey, and Jerry Jones were not only found to be guilty of the systematic bullying of Jonathan Martin, but also targeted an assistant trainer under O'Neill. The assistant trainer, who is still unidentified, was Asian, and Incognito and his crew taunted the man with racial slurs like "chink."
According to the report, O'Neill did nothing to stop the behavior and even at some points laughed at the racial slurs. Wells also found O'Neill hostile to the idea of the investigation, and cut an interview short.

The Dolphins released O'Neill along with assistant coach Jim Turner last week.
Then a few days later he won the award. O'Neill, a veteran trainer with the NFL since 1991, did not show up to receive the award. Troy Maurer, a former co-worker, accepted it on his behalf and read a short statement.
"After receiving the report, I conducted my own internal review of the facts to determine the appropriate steps for our organization," Ross said in a statement announcing the firing. "Jim Turner and Kevin O'Neill are good people who care a great deal about their profession and the players whom they serve, but both exhibited poor judgment at times which led me to this conclusion."

Jewellery that tells a story.
I've always loved making things: cakes, patchwork cushions, knitted cats, decoupaged furniture. I started to make jewellery for myself and others as a teenager. Eight years ago, I moved with my young family to Bath, a beautiful small city in the West of England. Famed for its elegant Georgian architecture, Bath also has a vibrant creative community - and I was inspired to take up jewellery-making again.
Etsy has enabled me to connect with customers all over the world, whilst being at home for my children; growing my business alongside my family.
At the heart of Honey Willow is personalisation: quality jewellery handmade for each individual customer. We love creating jewellery with meaning, reminding the wearer of her loved ones, or significant events such as a birthday, an anniversary or wedding.
It's a privilege to make jewellery that helps to tell the story of our customers' lives. Your stories are part of our shop story. Thank you for inspiring us!

Reminder picture retake day will be on Thursday, Sept. 29, 2016.
Dear Parents/Guardians, Community Members, Staff, Faculty & Students of Tohatchi Middle School:
I would like to welcome you back to another great year of school! This school year 2016/2017 is off to a great start. We welcome 6 new cougars to the pride; Virginia Smith-Parent Liaison, Thomas Dewayne-Science Teacher, Marriah Silversmith 6th ELA, Burgess Navarro 7th ELA, Stephanee Nez 8th ELA, Arsenia Balgue-6th Math & Jorge Gutierrez-7th Math. Thank you for joining our team and we all welcome you to Tohatchi.
In addition, we have exchanged the dress code for a modest allowance of student choice to express the way they dress. I would like to give the students a challenge and a thank you. Last year our students had a high rate of attendance and a low rate of discipline. That needs to be celebrated by telling the community and it also demands a challenge. The challenge is for our students to continue the tradition of excellence and keep our attendance rates high and discipline rates low.
Thank you students and thank you parents for all of your support! Let's make it another amazing year!
Anthony E. Morrison

Yesterday I flew on both northeast shuttles to see exactly how they compare. I flew DCA to LGA on the US Airways Shuttle. I had Boeing 727-254 N912TS. Although the Official Airline Guide says it's a snack flight, we only got a bag of pretzels along with a whole can of soda. Service was excellent. In fact, last year I wrote a letter of commendation to US Airways regarding the outstanding service of a particular flight attendant that I have had on several occasions. We took off on time but were ten minutes late arriving at LGA because we had to fly in circles over Philadelphia for a few minutes.
I returned on the Delta Shuttle. It was Boeing 727-232 N412DA, in new colors. The snack was a basket containing an apple, crackers and cheese, a gourmet waffle cookie, and some mints. We only got a cup of soda, but the flight attendants came around offering refills. They were very friendly and cheerful. We arrived at DCA fifteen minutes early.
Both planes had blue leather seats, and both airlines allowed passengers to deplane through both the forward and rear doors. Delta's aircraft seemed to have slightly more legroom.
Overall, shuttle service is among the best there is for short flights. I highly recommend both the US Airways Shuttle and the Delta Shuttle if you want to experience flying like it should be.

Am trying to find the botanical name of a common variety pepper sold in markets as "long hot pepper". They are green, at least at the market, and approx 6" long and 1/2" wide. They are kind of wrinkled and tend to curve in a C shape. Don't have a pic but will purchase one (package) and post as soon as I do. I thought since they seem to be so common, somebody out there knows the ones I'm describing. My wife cooks with them all the time (love 'em), and very curious which variety they are. My wife is asian but she says they are a Mexican pepper? Couldn't find a match in PF.
can you name this variety?

The Association of Independent Music Publishers (AIMP) was formed in 1977 by a group of Los Angeles music publishers, and has local chapters in Los Angeles, New York and Nashville. The organization's primary focus is to educate and inform music publishers about the most current industry trends and practices by providing a forum for the discussion of the issues and problems confronting the music publishing industry.
The AIMP provides a unique medium for those in the music industry to discuss with their colleagues various points of view from the cutting edge of the ever-changing music business. The opportunity to exchange ideas and opinions with others on issues of mutual concern is fostered by the informal atmosphere of the AIMP's monthly meetings, forums, and workshops.
The AIMP includes in its membership not only independent music publishers, but those publishers that are affiliated with record labels or motion picture and television production companies. In addition, individuals from other areas of the entertainment community, such as motion picture, television, multimedia and home video producers, the record industry, music licensing and supervision, songwriters, artist managers and members of the legal and accounting professions are active in the AIMP.

Presidio Historic District information
The Tucson Museum of Art is part of this low-key neighborhood, which embraces the site of the original Spanish fort and a ritzy residential area once nicknamed 'Snob Hollow.' This is (per current historical knowledge) one of the oldest inhabited places in North America. The Spanish Presidio de San Augustín del Tucson dates back to 1775, but the fort itself was built over a Hohokam site that has been dated to AD 700–900.
The original fort is completely gone, although there's a short reconstructed section at the corner of Church Ave and Washington St. The historical district teems with adobe townhouses and restored 19th-century mansions.
Shoppers should steer towards Old Town Artisans , a block-long warren of adobe apartments filled with galleries and crafts stores set around a lush and lovely courtyard (this use of an enclosed courtyard comes from Andalucia in southern Spain by way of North Africa). The popular La Cocina , also within the complex, serves Southwestern fare, Arizona beers and cool live music (generally Thu-Sat).
The area is bounded by W 6th St, W Alameda St, N Stone Ave and Granada Ave.

Ratings for Dr. Raymond P. Kenny
Staff is horrible at the Glenridge office! Very incompetent and unprofessional. If you need to see him go to the Livingston location.
I was very nervous about having my first colonoscopy but Dr. Kenny was highly recommended and I'M SO GLAD he is my doctor. He walked me through everything that was going to happen and totally put my mind at ease. He even made the prep easy! After the colonoscopy, it felt like nothing even happened. I'm so happy I chose him and would highly recommend Dr. Kenny - he's awesome!
Great staff with understanding of insurance procedures. Dr. Kenny is very thorough and very quick not to jump into surgery. He spent quality time explaining my medical issue. Great doctor who I would highly recommend. VERY PROFESSIONAL!!!
The Doc is great. He knows his stuff and is caring and thorough. It's the front desk people that are awful. They make it clear that they do not care a hoot about the patients. News flash- without us, you wouldn't have a job!
this office staff is incompetent. it's not unusual to be left on hold for 20 mins or more. no one ever gets back to you. the doctor is never on time.
excellent, understanding, helpful. Knows his craft

Farm Animal Contact as Risk Factor for Transmission of Bovine-associated Salmonella Subtypes PDF Version [PDF - 223 KB - 8 pages]K. J. Cummings et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Salmonellosis prevention should focus on safe animal contact as well as food safety.
Salmonellosis is usually associated with foodborne transmission. To identify risk from animal contact, we compared animal exposures of case-patients infected with bovine-associated Salmonella subtypes with those of control-patients infected with non-bovine–associated subtypes. We used data collected in New York and Washington, USA, from March 1, 2008, through March 1, 2010. Contact with farm animals during the 5 days before illness onset was significantly associated with being a case-patient (odds ratio 3.2, p = 0.0008), after consumption of undercooked ground beef and unpasteurized milk were controlled for. Contact with cattle specifically was also significantly associated with being a case-patient (odds ratio 7.4, p = 0.0002), after food exposures were controlled for. More cases of bovine-associated salmonellosis in humans might result from direct contact with cattle, as opposed to ingestion of foods of bovine origin, than previously recognized. Efforts to control salmonellosis should include a focus on transmission routes other than foodborne.
Outbreak of Influenza A (H3N2) Variant Virus Infection among Attendees of an Agricultural Fair, Pennsylvania, USA, 2011
PDF Version [PDF - 230 KB - 8 pages]
K. K. Wong et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Avoiding or limiting contact with swine at agricultural events may help prevent A(H3N2)v virus infections in such settings.
During August 2011, influenza A (H3N2) variant [A(H3N2)v] virus infection developed in a child who attended an agricultural fair in Pennsylvania, USA; the virus resulted from reassortment of a swine influenza virus with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09. We interviewed fair attendees and conducted a retrospective cohort study among members of an agricultural club who attended the fair. Probable and confirmed cases of A(H3N2)v virus infection were defined by serology and genomic sequencing results, respectively. We identified 82 suspected, 4 probable, and 3 confirmed case-patients who attended the fair. Among 127 cohort study members, the risk for suspected case status increased as swine exposure increased from none (4%; referent) to visiting swine exhibits (8%; relative risk 2.1; 95% CI 0.2–53.4) to touching swine (16%; relative risk 4.4; 95% CI 0.8–116.3). Fairs may be venues for zoonotic transmission of viruses with epidemic potential; thus, health officials should investigate respiratory illness outbreaks associated with agricultural events.
Subclinical Influenza Virus A Infections in Pigs Exhibited at Agricultural Fairs, Ohio, USA, 2009–2011
PDF Version [PDF - 221 KB - 6 pages]
A. S. Bowman et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Close contact between pigs and humans could result in zoonotic transmission.
Agricultural fairs are associated with bidirectional, interspecies transmission of influenza virus A between humans and pigs. We examined pigs exhibited at agricultural fairs in Ohio during 2009–2011 for signs of influenza-like illness and collected nasal swab specimens from a representative subset of these animals. Influenza virus A was recovered from pigs at 12/53 (22.6%) fairs during the 3-year sampling period. Pigs at 10/12 (83.3%) fairs from which influenza virus A was recovered did not show signs of influenza-like illness. Hemagglutinin, neuraminidase, and matrix gene combinations of the isolates were consistent with influenza virus A concurrently circulating among swine herds in the United States. Subclinical influenza virus A infections in pigs at agricultural fairs may pose a risk to human health and create challenges for passive surveillance programs for influenza virus A in swine herds.
Reservoir Competence of Wildlife Host Species for Babesia microti
PDF Version [PDF - 283 KB - 7 pages]
M. H. Hersh et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Competence data will aid understanding of the spread of human babesiosis.
Human babesiosis is an increasing health concern in the northeastern United States, where the causal agent, Babesia microti, is spread through the bite of infected Ixodes scapularis ticks. We sampled 10 mammal and 4 bird species within a vertebrate host community in southeastern New York to quantify reservoir competence (mean percentage of ticks infected by an individual host) using real-time PCR. We found reservoir competence levels >17% in white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus), raccoons (Procyon lotor), short-tailed shrews (Blarina brevicauda), and eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus), and <6% but >0% in all other species, including all 4 bird species. Data on the relative contributions of multiple host species to tick infection with B. microti and level of genetic differentiation between B. microti strains transmitted by different hosts will help advance understanding of the spread of human babesiosis.
Diagnostic Assays for Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
PDF Version [PDF - 316 KB - 8 pages]
J. Vanhomwegen et al.View SummaryView Abstract
On-site testing would diminish time, costs, and risks involved in handling of highly infectious materials.
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a highly contagious viral tick-borne disease with case-fatality rates as high as 50%. We describe a collaborative evaluation of the characteristics, performance, and on-site applicability of serologic and molecular assays for diagnosis of CCHF. We evaluated ELISA, immunofluorescence, quantitative reverse transcription PCR, and low-density macroarray assays for detection of CCHF virus using precharacterized archived patient serum samples. Compared with results of local, in-house methods, test sensitivities were 87.8%–93.9% for IgM serology, 80.4%–86.1% for IgG serology, and 79.6%–83.3% for genome detection. Specificity was excellent for all assays; molecular test results were influenced by patient country of origin. Our findings demonstrate that well-characterized, reliable tools are available for CCHF diagnosis and surveillance. The on-site use of such assays by health laboratories would greatly diminish the time, costs, and risks posed by the handling, packaging, and shipping of highly infectious biologic material.
Borrelia, Rickettsia, and Ehrlichia Species in Bat Ticks, France, 2010
PDF Version [PDF - 551 KB - 10 pages]
C. Socolovschi et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Physicians should consider infections with these bacteria in patients who may have been bitten by bat ticks.
Argas vespertilionis, an argasid tick associated with bats and bat habitats in Europe, Africa, and Asia has been reported to bite humans; however, studies investigating the presence of vector-borne pathogens in these ticks are lacking. Using molecular tools, we tested 5 A. vespertilionis ticks collected in 2010 from the floor of a bat-infested attic in southwestern France that had been converted into bedrooms. Rickettsia sp. AvBat, a new genotype of spotted fever group rickettsiae, was detected and cultivated from 3 of the 5 ticks. A new species of the Ehrlichia canis group, Ehrlichia sp. AvBat, was also detected in 3 ticks. Four ticks were infected with Borrelia sp. CPB1, a relapsing fever agent of the Borrelia group that caused fatal borreliosis in a bat in the United Kingdom. Further studies are needed to characterize these new agents and determine if the A. vespertilionis tick is a vector and/or reservoir of these agents.
Nonprimate Hepaciviruses in Domestic Horses, United Kingdom
PDF Version [PDF - 379 KB - 7 pages]
S. Lyons et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Viruses related to human hepatitis C virus infect horses in the United Kingdom without evidence of hepatic or other systemic disease.
Although the origin of hepatitis C virus infections in humans remains undetermined, a close homolog of this virus, termed canine hepacivirus (CHV) and found in respiratory secretions of dogs, provides evidence for a wider distribution of hepaciviruses in mammals. We determined frequencies of active infection among dogs and other mammals in the United Kingdom. Samples from dogs (46 respiratory, 99 plasma, 45 autopsy samples) were CHV negative by PCR. Screening of 362 samples from cats, horses, donkeys, rodents, and pigs identified 3 (2%) positive samples from 142 horses. These samples were genetically divergent from CHV and nonprimate hepaciviruses that horses were infected with during 2012 in New York state, USA. Investigation of infected horses demonstrated nonprimate hepacivirus persistence, high viral loads in plasma (105–107 RNA copies/mL), and liver function test results usually within reference ranges, although several values ranged from high normal to mildly elevated. Disease associations and host range of nonprimate hepaciviruses warrant further investigation.
Transmission Routes for Nipah Virus from Malaysia and Bangladesh
PDF Version [PDF - 643 KB - 11 pages]
B. A. Clayton et al.View SummaryView Abstract
Nipah virus infection in humans is associated with a higher death rate in Bangladesh than in Malaysia. Additionally, Nipah virus spreads from person to person in Bangladesh but not in Malaysia. To investigate why these differences occur, researchers looked for differences in the virus strains from each country. In experimentally infected ferrets, they examined which tissues each strain infected and how each strain was excreted from the body. They found higher concentrations of the Bangladesh strain in secretions from the mouth. Increased oral excretion of the Bangladesh strain in humans might explain why person-to-person transmission of Nipah virus occurs in that region.
Human infections with Nipah virus in Malaysia and Bangladesh are associated with markedly different patterns of transmission and pathogenicity. To compare the 2 strains, we conducted an in vivo study in which 2 groups of ferrets were oronasally exposed to either the Malaysia or Bangladesh strain of Nipah virus. Viral shedding and tissue tropism were compared between the 2 groups. Over the course of infection, significantly higher levels of viral RNA were recovered from oral secretions of ferrets infected with the Bangladesh strain. Higher levels of oral shedding of the Bangladesh strain of Nipah virus might be a key factor in onward transmission in outbreaks among humans.
Virulent Avian Infectious Bronchitis Virus, People's Republic of China
PDF Version [PDF - 876 KB - 8 pages]
J. Feng et al.View SummaryView Abstract
YN strain shows severe pathogenicity in chickens.
A virulent avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) was isolated from 30-day-old broiler chickens that exhibited respiratory symptoms, nephropathologic lesions, and a high proportion of deaths in the People's Republic of China during 2005. The strain, designated YN, was genetically and pathologically characterized. Phylogenetic analysis showed that YN and most of the previously characterized IBV isolates found in China were phylogenetically classified into 2 main genetic clusters. The YN isolate caused severe lesions and resulted in deaths of 65% in experimental infections of 30-day-old specific-pathogen–free chickens. Tracheal and severe kidney lesions developed in all infected birds, confirming the ability of YN strain to induce both respiratory and renal disease. IBV antigens were detected by immunohistochemical analysis in the trachea, lung, kidney, and bursa, consistent with histopathologic observations, virus isolation, and reverse transcription PCR detection. We showed that YN IBV exhibits severe pathogenicity in chickens, and that similar viruses are prevalent in China.

Epizootic Spread of Schmallenberg Virus among Wild Cervids, Belgium, Fall 2011
PDF Version [PDF - 283 KB - 3 pages]
A. Linden et al.View Abstract
Schmallenberg virus was detected in cattle and sheep in northwestern Europe in 2011. To determine whether wild ruminants are also susceptible, we measured antibody seroprevalence in cervids (roe deer and red deer) in Belgium in 2010 and 2011. Findings indicated rapid spread among these deer since virus emergence ≈250 km away.
Variant Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus in Young Rabbits, Spain
PDF Version [PDF - 400 KB - 4 pages]
K. P. Dalton et al.View Abstract
Outbreaks of rabbit hemorrhagic disease have occurred recently in young rabbits on farms on the Iberian Peninsula where rabbits were previously vaccinated.

Improved antivirus strategies are needed to slow the spread of this pathogen.
Reservoir Competence of Vertebrate Hosts for Anaplasma phagocytophilum
PDF Version [PDF - 310 KB - 4 pages]
F. Keesing et al.View Abstract
Fourteen vertebrate species (10 mammals and 4 birds) were assessed for their ability to transmit Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the bacterium that causes human granulocytic anaplasmosis, to uninfected feeding ixodid ticks. Small mammals were most likely to infect ticks but all species assessed were capable of transmitting the bacterium, in contrast to previous findings.
MRSA Variant in Companion Animals
PDF Version [PDF - 455 KB - 4 pages]
B. Walther et al.View Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylocoocus aureus (MRSA) harboring mecALGA251 has been isolated from humans and ruminants. Database screening identified this MRSA variant in cats, dogs, and a guinea pig in Germany during 2008–2011. The novel MRSA variant is not restricted to ruminants or humans, and contact with companion animals might pose a zoonotic risk.

D. Nilubol et al.View Abstract
Characterization of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) isolates from pigs in Thailand showed 30-aa discontinuous deletions in nonstructural protein 2, identical to sequences for highly pathogenic PRRSV. The novel virus is genetically related to PRRSV from China and may have spread to Thailand through illegal transport of infectious animals from bordering countries.
Cygnet River Virus, a Novel Orthomyxovirus from Ducks, Australia
PDF Version [PDF - 257 KB - 3 pages]
A. Kessell et al.View Abstract
A novel virus, designated Cygnet River virus (CyRV), was isolated in embryonated eggs from Muscovy ducks in South Australia. CyRV morphologically resembles arenaviruses; however, sequencing identified CyRV as an orthomyxovirus. The high mortality rate among ducks co-infected with salmonellae suggests that CyRV may be pathogenic, either alone or in concert with other infections.

West Nile Virus Neurologic Disease in Humans, South Africa, September 2008–May 2009
PDF Version [PDF - 216 KB - 4 pages]
D. Zaayman and M. VenterView Abstract
We investigated West Nile virus (WNV) as a possible disease etiology in persons hospitalized in South Africa. Of 206 specimens tested, 36 had WNV neutralizing antibodies, significantly more than in similar earlier serosurveys. Seven probable acute WNV cases were identified, suggesting WNV may be overlooked as an etiology of severe disease in South Africa.

Reemergence of Chikungunya Virus in Cambodia
PDF Version [PDF - 356 KB - 4 pages]
V. Duong et al.View Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), probably Asian genotype, was first detected in Cambodia in 1961. Despite no evidence of acute or recent CHIKV infections since 2000, real-time reverse transcription PCR of serum collected in 2011 detected CHIKV, East Central South African genotype. Spatiotemporal patterns and phylogenetic clustering indicate that the virus probably originated in Thailand.

Peer Reviewed Report Available Online OnlySurveillance of Zoonotic Infectious Disease Transmitted by Small Companion AnimalsM. J. Day et al.View Abstract
The One Health paradigm for global health recognizes that most new human infectious diseases will emerge from animal reservoirs. Little consideration has been given to the known and potential zoonotic infectious diseases of small companion animals. Cats and dogs closely share the domestic environment with humans and have the potential to act as sources and sentinels of a wide spectrum of zoonotic infections. This report highlights the lack of a coordinated global surveillance scheme that monitors disease in these species and makes a case for the necessity of developing a strategy to implement such surveillance.
Peer Reviewed Report Available Online OnlyWorkshop on Treatment of and Postexposure Prophylaxis for Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei Infection, 2010R. Lipsitz et al.View Abstract
The US Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasures Enterprise convened subject matter experts at the 2010 HHS Burkholderia Workshop to develop consensus recommendations for postexposure prophylaxis against and treatment for Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei infections, which cause melioidosis and glanders, respectively. Drugs recommended by consensus of the participants are ceftazidime or meropenem for initial intensive therapy, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole or amoxicillin/clavulanic acid for eradication therapy. For postexposure prophylaxis, recommended drugs are trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole or co-amoxiclav. To improve the timely diagnosis of melioidosis and glanders, further development and wide distribution of rapid diagnostic assays were also recommended. Standardized animal models and B. pseudomallei strains are needed for further development of therapeutic options. Training for laboratory technicians and physicians would facilitate better diagnosis and treatment options.

TV pitchman Billy Mays, one of the most familiar faces on wee-hour television, died Sunday in Tampa, FL at age 50. On Saturday he had been aboard a plane that made a landing at the Tampa Bay airport that was so rough that the plane blew its tires, leaving debris on the runway. Mays told reporters that he had been hit on the head during the landing. "All the things from the ceiling started dropping," he remarked. His hard-sell infomercials for OxiClean were so ubiquitous that several stations were running them even as competitors were airing news reports about Mays's death.
There's already an Oscars buzz surrounding this movie.
