During most of the year, winds blow from land to ocean making the air dry. Winds originating from land are called continental. During certain months of the year, the winds begin to blow from the ocean to the land making the air moist. Winds originating over a body of water are called maritime. This moist ocean air is what causes monsoonal rains over many countries.
Why Do Wind Patterns Shift in a Monsoon?Differential heating occurs when the sun heats the land and oceans. Incoming solar radiation heats landmasses faster than large bodies of water. In tropical and sub-tropical climates, solar heating is most intense in the summer months. As the land heats throughout the summer, a large low pressure system builds over the land. The heat from the sun also warms the surrounding ocean waters, but the effect happens much more slowly due to the high heat capacity of water. Therefore, the ocean temperatures as well as the layer of air above the oceans stays cooler longer. The cooler air above the oceans is moist and more dense creating a high pressure zone relative to the pressure above the landmass.
Winds flow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas due to the pressure gradient. Once the temperature conditions on the land and oceans change, the resultant pressure changes cause the winds to change from a land-to-ocean direction to an ocean-to-land direction. Monsoon season does not end as abruptly as it begins. While it takes time for the land to heat up, it also takes time for that land to cool in the fall. This makes monsoon season a time of rainfall that diminishes rather than ends.
History of Monsoon StudiesThe word monsoon is derived from the Arabic word mausim meaning season. The most famous monsoon is the Indian monsoon. The intense rainfall in these regions can cause massive flooding and destruction of crops. In dry climates, monsoons are an important replenishment for life as water is brought back into drought-stricken zones of the world. Part of the reason India gets such an intense monsoon season is due to its elevation. The higher the land mass, the higher the likelihood of the development of a low pressure zone. The Tibetan Plateau to the north of India is one of the largest and highest plateaus on Earth.
The earliest explanation for monsoon development came in 1686 from the English astronomer and mathematician Edmond Halley. Halley is the man who first conceived the idea that differential heating of land and ocean caused these giant sea-breeze circulations. As with all scientific theories, these ideas have been expanded upon.
Monsoon seasons can actually fail bringing intense drought and famines to many parts of the world. From 1876-1879, India experienced such a monsoon failure. To study these droughts, the Indian Meteorological Service (IMS) was created. Later, Gilbert Walker, a British mathematician, began to study the effects of monsoons in India looking for patterns in climate data. He became convinced that there was a seasonal and directional reason for monsoon changes.
It is a natural supposition that there should be in weather free oscillations with fixed natural periods, and that these oscillations should persist except when some external disturbance produces discontinuous changes in phase or amplitude.—Sir Gilbert T. Walker (Walker, 1925, pages 340–341)According to the Climate Prediction Center, Sir Walker used the term 'Southern Oscillation' to describe the east-west seesaw effect of pressure changes in climate data. In the review of the climate records, Walker noticed that when pressure rises in the east, it usually falls in the west, and vice versa. Walker also found that Asian monsoon seasons were often linked to drought in Australia, Indonesia, India, and parts of Africa.
Jacob Bjerknes, a Norwegian meteorologist, would later recognize that the circulation of winds, rain, and weather were part of a Pacific-wide air circulation pattern he called Walker circulation.
New Theories on the Causes of MonsoonsTheories of the development of monsoons have stood firm for over 300 years. Classical thinking on monsoons is that their development is sparked by the differential heating of land and ocean as described above. But in a recent NASA Earth Observatory release, those ideas may be changing. Geoscientists at the California Institute of Technology have been working on new ideas as to exactly why monsoons develop.
Two researchers, Schneider and Simona Bordoni of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, used computer models to re-create an Earth with no landmasses. Surprisingly, they found that differential heating was not a necessary component to creating monsoons. Instead, they concluded monsoons arise because of an interaction between tropical air circulation and large-scale turbulence in the middle latitudes. The large middle latitude disturbances modify circulation in tropical regions causing rapid circulation changes which can bring on the characteristic high surface winds and heavy rainfall of the monsoon.
Other Seasonal Weather PatternsHurricane season is another example of a seasonal weather pattern caused by the differential heating of land and ocean. During hurricane season, the ocean waters must reach a minimum average temperature of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit (~27 degrees Celsius) for hurricanes to occur. While you may think the highest temperatures occur in summer, ocean waters again take longer to heat. Therefore, hurricane intensity and frequency is typically greatest in the late summer and fall. Therefore, ocean temperatures must be ready for hurricanes to develop.

On the eve of its first preseason practice, Oklahoma dropped a bombshell Wednesday. Coach Bob Stoops announced two players have been dismissed from the team.
OU officials did not release the names of the players, but sources close to the situation confirmed they are sophomore starting quarterback Rhett Bomar and sophomore offensive lineman J.D. Quinn.
The two are roomates.
Bomar's father, Jerry Bomar, declined comment when reached by phone Wednesday afternoon.
In a released statement, OU officials said both players were found to have received extra compensation from a private business where they were employed.
"We spend a considerable amount of time addressing our players regarding their personal conduct and the NCAA rules," Stoops said. "They know exactly what we expect from them. Ultimately, they have to make right decisions. The same holds true for our boosters. When they do not, the consequences are serious, and we will not tolerate this behavior."
"Our team and University actions are necessary because of the intentional participation and knowledge of the student athletes in these violations," Stoops said. "I firmly believe that our program is stronger than any individual player and that a championship program cannot compromise its values."
The violations are believed to have occurred while Bomar and Quinn worked at Norman auto dealership Big Red Sports/ Imports in the fall of 2005.
This is the second time the dealership has been at the center of an OU investigation.
In April, the school looked into standout running back Adrian Peterson's purchase of a used car before securing financing. Peterson returned the car several weeks later. OU found no violation had occurred because the dealership said it was a normal business practice.
Both investigations occurred while the dealership was owned by Brad McRae and Mike Donohue. David Hudiburg purchased the dealership in April.
But OU cut ties with the dealership after its investigation into Peterson's car and no Sooner players have worked there since.
A source close the program said OU started looking into the work done by Bomar and Quinn several weeks ago and information about their extra benefits came to light in the last 24 hours.
OU informed both the NCAA and Big 12 Conference of its findings Wednesday.
As of Wednesday, neither had started its own investigation.
The loss of Bomar could be a crippling blow to the Sooners, who were picked to win the Big 12 South this season.
He was a top-rated quarterback coming out of high school. Bomar redshirted the 2004 season while Heisman Trophy winner Jason White completed his career.
Bomar lost a quarterback competition to Paul Thompson last fall, but was named the starter after the Sooners' season-opening loss to TCU. Thompson moved to wide receiver several weeks later.
Bomar started OU's final 11 games and completed 54 percent of his passes, while throwing 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The Sooners went 8-3 in those games, including a victory over Oregon in the Holiday Bowl.
OU signed junior college quarterback Joey Halzle in the spring and he was listed No. 2 on the Sooners' preseason depth chart.
But many expect Thompson, who was White's backup in 2003 and 2004, to move back to quarterback in light of the current situation and could very well end up being the starter.
Freshman Sam Bradford and sophomore walk-on Hays McEachern are also listed as backups.
Quinn played in 11 games last season and started four at right guard. He missed spring practice due to an injury, but was expected to be a starter this season.
"I am disappointed in these student-athletes," OU athletics director Joe Castiglione said. "The education process is something that we take very seriously. We talk about it frequently and include guidelines in many of our printed materials. In the end, individuals must decide right and wrong for themselves and then live with the consequences. Unfortunately, many more people who themselves play by the rules are also affected by these consequences."
Bomar's and Quinn's future is up in the air. According to OU's statement, their dismissal is permanent and they will not be allowed to return under any circumstances.
They could transfer to another school, but only the NCAA can decide if they will be eligible to play at another NCAA institution.
The rest of the team reported Wednesday and practice begins at 4 p.m. today at the rugby fields south of Lloyd Noble Center.
Stoops is expected to make his first public comments today.

A driver whose car ended up on its side after an accident claimed he swerved to miss a deer, but Dormont police said that scenario is unlikely.
Police responded to the 1500 block of Hillsdale Avenue on Feb. 10 at 3:25 p.m. after the Dormont Volunteer Fire Department notified them of an accident in which a vehicle was on its side on the sidewalk in front of a Hillsdale Avenue home.
The vehicle struck and damaged a retaining wall on the property, and there was heavy damage to the vehicle, according to the police report.
The driver, identified as Alan Peace, 29, of Mt. Lebanon, told police he swerved to miss a deer as he was turning from Belrose Avenue onto Hillsdale, according to the police report. Police determined that Peace was speeding and possibly ran the stop sign at that intersection.
Peace was not injured, and was issued a traffic citation for speeding.
Also in the blotter:
Feb. 8
Officers from Dormont and Mt. Lebanon responded to the parking lot of PNC Bank at 2882 West Liberty Avenue at 7:44 p.m. for a report of a man beating a woman. Witnesses told police they saw the man, identified as Ryan Stranko, 33, of Pittsburgh, hit the woman's head against a car, and then off of the pavement. The woman was taken to Mercy Hospital for treatment of injuries to her head and face. Stranko was charged with aggravated assault.
Feb. 12
Rose Iuni, 53, of Dormont, was issued a citation for criminal mischief. According to the police report, Iuni damaged the rear window of a vehicle parked in the 1300 block of McNeilly Road around 12:30 p.m., claiming that the vehicle's owner was providing drugs to Iuni's family member.
This information was supplied by Dormont Police. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.

POLK RT SERIES: The new Polk RT Series are more than just another line of speakers. They are the direct descendants of the state-of-the-art Signature Reference Theater System. SRT started out as Matthew Polk's desire for the ultimate home theater system to use in his own media room. It turned into the most ambitious research project in Polk's 23 year history. Countless man hours went into developing the Signature Reference Theater system. It's a system with performance so high that it exceeds the limitations of the listener well before reaching its own limits.
The Signature Reference Theater project provided our entire company with the pride of building what we believe is the finest sounding home entertainment speaker system in the world. The SRT project also spawned several technologies which have been incorporated into the new Reference Theater (RT) models. This is one more example of how our program of fundamental research leads to products with unmatched performance and value. The RT models provide a higher level of performance for music and movies than was ever before possible at such a reasonable price.
Introducing the Reference Theater (RT) Series:
"As the name "Reference Theater" implies, the RT line meets the need for excellent home theater system speakers. But home theater speakers must do more than provide good sound with movies. Home theater systems spend more hours a day playing music than movies. So truly great home theater speakers also need to be great music reproducers. But too often speakers "designed for home theater" are brassy, boomy and "shouty", designed more for quantity of sound than quality. The RT Series have what no other speakers in their price range have - the dynamic range and powerful bass needed for exciting home theater sound and the clarity, imaging and smooth response necessary to make everything from grunge rock to opera sound fantastic." -- Matthew Polk
Dynamic Balance Breakthrough Technology Means Better Sound For You:
Just like Matthew Polks Signature Reference Theater (SRT) system, the components used in the RT Series benefit from Dynamic Balance, a technology which came out of a joint research project between Polk Audio and Johns Hopkins University. This laser imaging research enabled us to view on a microscopic level the entire vibrating surface of a driver or tweeter. By this method we were able to observe the resonances which develop on speaker cones as they move. These resonances are the root cause of frequency response distortions.
As an x-ray enables a physician to discover the root cause of a symptom and prescribe the right treatment for a cure, this laser imaging technique allowed Polk engineers to find the right combinations of high tech materials, geometry and construction techniques to tune out the offending resonances. The benefit of Dynamic Balance is the dramatic improvement in the sound quality of our speakers which every listener can appreciate. Buyers of reasonably priced speakers no longer have to choose between excellent bass and smooth, clear midrange. Now you can have it all thanks to Dynamic Balance technology.
Advanced Crossover Designs for Superior Imaging and Audiophile Transparency:
A crossover is the part of the speaker system which directs high frequencies to the tweeter and lower range frequencies to the woofer. But crossovers can create distortion, called phase shift, which reduces clarity and degrades the ability of the speaker to create a life-like spatial image. Thanks to Dynamic Balance technology, the response of our mid-woofers remains accurate at much higher frequencies than conventional drivers. This allows us to place the crossover frequency above the range where your ear can most easily detect phase shirt (the critical midrange). The result is clarity and imaging so outstanding that the speakers seem to melt away. Youll feel as if youre at a live performance or actually on the movie set.
Power Port Technology for Bass you can Feel:
In the development of the ground-breaking Signature Reference Theater system, we found ways to overcome the limitations of conventional bass reproduction technology. Now the bass performance benefits of the revolutionary SRT technologies can be yours with the RT floorstanding models.
Ported speakers are popular for home theater use because they provide good bass without the need for large amounts of amplifier power. But conventional ports have limitations. Air turbulence at the mouth of the small diameter port causes port noise and bass output loses up to 3dB. A loss of 3dB means that half of the amplifier power being used for bass reproduction is wasted by air turbulence losses!
To overcome these limitations we developed a new patented technology called PowerPort. The Power Port is an extremely compact, efficient, aerodynamic system capable of handling tremendous volumes of high velocity air flow with very low turbulence, noise and loss. The technology gives the RT floor standing speakers bass performance which vastly exceeds any speakers in their size and price class. The result is bass which you can feel as well as hear; bass which reaches out, grabs you and pulls you into the performance for a complete visceral and emotional experience.
There are additional benefits to Power Port too. Because the port is on the bottom of the cabinet, there is no direct path for extraneous midrange to get out of the enclosure and into the room. The RT towers give you the midrange clarity and imaging of expensive audiophile speakers. Plus, since the output of the port is down near the floor, the room loading of the system is always the same you can place your speakers virtually anywhere in the room and still get consistent, great performance.
Superior Performance and Convenience in Bookshelf Speakers: For our new RT bookshelf speakers we developed a new technology called the Acoustic Resonance Control (ARC) port system. Two ports of unequal length are used to suppress cabinet resonances as well as provide greater bass radiating area. Thanks to patent-pending ARC technology, the RT bookshelf models provide Utterly clear and natural midrange with bass that is rich, deep and precise.
Bookshelf speakers dont have to be used on bookshelves not when theyre the RT3 and RT5. Both of these models are also on-wall speakers thanks to their supplied wall brackets. Theres no need to buy expensive optional brackets to get the space-saving convenience of on-wall speakers.
The Bottom Line Benefits:
And the result of all these technologies? One listen will tell you. Youll notice that our RT Series speakers sound a little different from other loudspeakers; the sound seems to have a more natural flow and somehow seems more at ease. Youll find them a little more alive and dynamic, with sonic images that are larger and more solid. Youll find that they offer a listening experience that puts you in touch with the full emotional power of your music and movies.

The opening moments of Francine find Melissa Leo, playing the title role, standing naked, wet and blankly confused in a prison shower.

And it stars Nicolas Cage, not Liam Neeson. So any resemblance between these two films about fathers who'll stop at nothing to get their kidnapped offspring back is purely coincidental.

moreThis book intends to help understand and apply principles and rules better. Its target is to keep the distinction between principles and rules whereas structuring it on different foundations than those jurisprudence ordinarily employs. The first object of investigation is the phenomenon of interpretation in Law in order to understand that the classification of certain normative species as either principles or rules depends in the first place on axiological connections that are not ready prior to the interpretation process that unveils them. Then, a definition of principles is proposed, aiming to understand what their unique characteristics are when compared to other norms of the legal order. Thirdly, the conditions for the application of principles and rules are examined, which are the normative applicative postulates. It will be shown, on one hand, that principles not only explicit values, but also set forth precise species of behaviors, though indirectly; on the other hand, the creation of conducts by rules is also to be weighed, even though the behavior set forth in advance may be overcome, depending on the accomplishment of a few requirements. That will surpass both the mere praise of values, which does not create behaviors, and the automatic application of rules. A model is proposed to explain the normative species, which includes structured weighing on the application process while encompassing substantive criteria of justice in its argument, through the analytical reconstruction of the concrete use of normative postulates, especially those of reasonableness and proportionality. All of that is done with a focus on the ability of intersubjective control of the argumentation, which often degenerates into capricious decisionism. less

Shumlin: Vt. lacks cash to handle sequesterBy Edward Donga
For The Rutland HERALD | February 26,2013AP PHOTO
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, left, and Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin confer during a panel discussion on education and workforce development at the National Governors Association 2013 Winter Meeting in Washington on Sunday.WASHINGTON — Gov. Peter Shumlin expressed concern Monday over Vermont's ability to handle so-called sequestration if Congress does not act to stop the process — which is due to kick in Friday.
In an interview after a White House meeting with President Obama and other governors from across the country, Shumlin declared: "If this artificial roadblock to economic recovery is really left in the road, there is no way the state of Vermont has the cash to mitigate the impacts on our most vulnerable, on our military, on our teachers, on our law enforcement — and on the private sector, who (are) going to realize they don't have predictability, and they're going to start pulling back."
The forthcoming sequester, which involves $85 billion in automatic across-the-board spending cuts this year — split evenly between federal defense and non-defense programs — dominated discussions at the National Governors Association three-day winter meeting, which took place in Washington over the weekend. Just as the governors were leaving town Monday, Congress reconvened after a weeklong recess, with little indication that a deal to head off the sequester will be reached by Friday.
"It's tough for any of us, of we governors, to prepare because we all know... our budgets all operate on more federal dollars than state dollars," said Shumlin, a Democrat, in comments on the White House lawn after the meeting with Obama.
During that session, Shumlin said there was bipartisan consensus among the governors that Congress' refusal to act to avoid the sequester was the biggest threat to job growth and economic prosperity in the individual states.
Shumlin added that he hopes Congress would "come to their senses" and act on the plan the president has proposed to avoid sequestration. White House officials contend the Obama plan, which Shumlin described as "thoughtful and balanced," would produce almost $1.8 trillion in additional deficit reduction on top of $2.5 trillion in such reductions enacted over the past couple of years.
But congressional Republicans, who accepted the White House's demands for $600 billion in taxes on the wealthiest Americans as part of the "fiscal cliff" deal at the end of December, are balking at further tax hikes. Obama's latest plan, as published by the White House, contains an additional $680 billion in new revenue, largely through limiting tax deductions for those in the wealthiest bracket.
In an effort to turn up the heat on congressional Republicans, the White House on Sunday released a state-by-state breakdown of what it sees as the impact if sequestration takes effect. Vermont could see significant cuts to programs ranging from education to defense to health care, according to the report.
For example, approximately 1,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed in Vermont at some point this year. The result would be a total reduction in gross pay of about $2.9 million. Military base operation funding in the state would also be cut by $1 million.
Vermont would also see about $1.1 million in cuts to primary and secondary education. The report said the cuts would put the jobs of about 20 teachers and school aides at risk and result in 2,000 fewer students being served.
The report highlighting cuts to education came a day after Shumlin, during a session of the NGA's Education and Workforce Committee, boasted about his state's efforts to improve education quality for its students.
"We're a high-spending state," Shumlin said. "I think we're the second highest in the country," apparently referring to per-pupil spending.
During his testimony to the committee, Shumlin highlighted increased funding for early education and individual plans crafted by and tailored for students — as well as a dual enrollment program for high school students that allows them to start earning college credits in 11th and 12th grade.
"We're looking at this as the comprehensive answer to job growth," Shumlin said.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — The wedding celebration should have had a happy ending. Instead, the day ended in horror when a guest was killed afterthe car she was riding in was shot at by an unknown gunman and she became another victim of the civil war raging in Syria.
Dr. Faraj Touchan was driving that care home from the wedding with his sister and her friend when the woman was killed by gunfire on the streets of his hometown, Aleppo.
Touchan, in Syria waiting for a visa to return to his new job at Mount St. Mary's Hospital in Lewiston, was caught in the midst of a bloody uprising in his country. According to Associated Press reports nearly 30,000 people have been killed in the civil war that began there 18 months ago. Aleppo is one of the hotbeds of the battles.
The doctor had been waiting an unusually long time for the Amerian Embassy to approve a visa to return to the U.S. where he had trained at Sisters Hospital in Buffalo. It had almost been a year since he was offered the position at Mount St. Mary's new Center for Women. And while he waited, working when he could, the war had spread throughout his home town. It was becoming too dangerous to do much more than grab necessities early in the day at the closest supermarket.
He had pretty much given up hope of ever getting his visa approved, a process that typically takes about a week. But, behind the scenes at Mount St. Mary's, the administrators who hired him had begun an unusual campaign to get their doctor back. They contacted every government official they could think of to speed the visa process. In his regular emails and phone calls to the hospital, he kept administrators updated.
"We felt terrible about what he was going through," said Adele Berti, physician relations and recruitment director at Mount St. Mary's Hospital. "I could actually hear the bombings during a couple of phone calls."
The conditions of the doctor's visa — if he could get one — would require he work in an under-served population. Maness and Berti had hired him to work mostly at the hospital's Neighborhood Health Center on 9th Street.
"We're very sensitive to making sure the care we provide there is the same that you or I get," Maness explained about the center. "Not just any person will do."
"Once we knew him, I could not walk away," Maness added. "He was the right person to serve those patients."
Maness and Berti contacted a variety of agencies and politicians including Homeland Security, and the offices of Sen. Louise Slaughter, Sen. Kirstin Gilldebrand, Sen. Chuck Schumer and even Sen. Jay Rockefeller in Virginia.
Then, unexpectedly, for reasons no one really knows and the embassy never explained, the doctor's visa was granted more than a year after he applied for it.
Last month, another celebration occurred, and this time, it had an ending many had been waiting for. About 30 people gathered with balloons and signs at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport to welcome the doctor to his new home. Staffers had also found him a temporary home in Lewiston, where he no longer fears gunfire and bombs. But he is deeply concerned for his family and fiance back home in a country he describes as, until recently, safe and beautiful, with rich culture, good schools and a health care system free to the poor.
Media reports say the war in Syria, a country which is 85 percent Muslim, is being stirred and amplified from fighters coming with their own agendas from other Middle East countries, and that the conflicts have been unresponsive to international attempts at mediation.
The doctor, a Christian, expresses sadness for all those he left behind. "Innocent people just want to live their lives. They just want to be able to walk safely in the streets."
But, he is also grateful for those friends that joined efforts to help him return to his new home, a safe and beautiful apartment in Lewiston, and colleagues that have already shown they will go out of their way to make him feel welcome.
"The people you work with, their love and appreciation is much more important than anything else," he said. "Anybody is vulnerable ... and if you have nobody to stand up for you, it's just not worth it."

Chris thanks for the well balanced analysis – a great deal of which makes much sense. However let me ask a simple question – how many sponsors do we have for DOMA's repeal? At least every single one of thise sponsors should be cosponsoring DOMA and do we have them> UAFA is accommodating a settling for less attitude while we are in a DOMA repeal mode. What the hell are we doing? Also has anyone asked Immigration Equality if they plan to lobby for UAFA to be part of CIR again? Are we just ATM's out here at the beck and call of the card holder? My advocacy machine is empty on UAFA – when it is flawwed in the first place. After I met with Sen. Feinstein's Immigration Legislative staffer back in 2009, she explained that UAFA falls shorty of providing for a contractual nexus – beyond mere proof of couples being in relationship. I pass the message on to Immigration Equality – to Rachel Tiven, Julie Kruse and Steve Ralls – They answered uniformly That is how they dealt with -"Oh Senator Feinstein does not give a heck about gays." They know its flawed without special language to deal with the contractual aspect of the relationship that is not there without marriage or civil union. Yet they have done nothing to fix it or lobby to fix it. I am sorry but I cannot support UAFA tyhe way it is for the sake of it and because I have no guarantee it will be treated as a stand alone – as opposed to using the binational community to forge phony relationships with the Latino immigration community .
I dont get taken for a ride more than once – I was the ONLY one of all writers and activists who predicted what was going to happen two years before it did. I told Amos not to join the CIR bandwagon – after Shirley Tan gave evidence we could have had UAFA .
SO I mam urging everyone to wake UP and do something different. I am the flame in your face binationals , representatives, organizations, activists, parrot bloggers et al – I am saying find a special Visa process and get it passed and done within three months!!!! W can lobby our senators in the summer and look for some special mechanism to move it forward, while promoting DOMA like crazy fiends.
IF IE want your money tell them to do their friggin work ====== mel

Tar balls have been found on Alabama's beaches in the wake of Hurricane Isaac's landfall last week. Workers in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are seeing significantly more tar deposits on the sand than before Isaac. The tar is weathered, old and is not considered dangerous. The tar may have broke off from large, submerged mats left from the BP oil spill. Tests have not yet to confirm whether its linked to that or something else.

PORTLAND -- Two bicyclists standing on a Southeast Portland sidewalk were struck by a Jeep during a rollover crash, police said.
Officers responded just after 8 p.m. Monday to the crash at Southeast 92nd Avenue and Foster Road, said Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson.
A van had run a red light and collided with the Jeep, causing it to roll over, Simpson said. The cyclists were waiting at a crosswalk when they were hit.
Both drivers and both bicyclists suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to nearby hospitals.
The driver of the van, 65-year-old Nang Nguyen, was cited for failure to obey a traffic control device.

John Boehner, President Obama Meet Again on Fiscal Cliff
A Republican proposal would agree to higher tax rates on those making more than $1 million.
President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, the two top negotiators of the deficit reduction deal aimed at averting automatic year-end tax increases and across-the-board spending cuts, continue to move closer to a bargain. But it remains unclear whether or not the two sides can come together ahead of the December 31st deadline to avoid taking the country over the so-called fiscal cliff.
Boehner spent about 45 minutes at the White House on Monday after reportedly making big concessions in an offer to Obama over the weekend, including a willingness to raise tax rates on Americans earning more than $1 million a year. Previously, Republicans had uniformly opposed such a proposal, though Obama has insisted on increased rates on those earning more than $250,000 a year. It's a position the White House said Monday is unchanged.
[Read: Top Business Leaders Warn of Falling Off Fiscal Cliff]
"[Obama's] position is not based on the notion that these rates have to go up because that's good in and of itself," spokesman Jay Carney said during the daily press briefing. "It's based on the necessity of having enough revenue as part of this balanced package, and revenue only coming from the wealthiest Americans, those who can afford it most, to ensure that we're not unduly putting the burden on the middle class or on seniors or families with children with disabilities."
Obama and Boehner have periodically met face-to-face and spoken on the phone in recent weeks, as their staffs work to forge a compromise, suggesting talks remain ongoing. But the two sides remain far apart on both the size and details of a debt package.
Obama continues to hold the upper-hand over Boehner, as made obvious by the fact that it's been the Republican slowly marching towards the president's demands in each subsequent exchange of proposals. Boehner's latest pitch, for instance, would cut $1 trillion in spending over 10 years, largely from entitlements like Medicare, in exchange for $1 trillion in increased revenues, according to reports. The president, meanwhile, has reportedly said he's willing to consider a package containing $1.4 trillion in increased revenue, down from his initial proposal of $1.6 trillion.
[Read: White House Stays Optimistic That Fiscal Cliff Can Be Avoided]
Throughout the one-on-one negotiations, most lawmakers have remained in limbo about their holiday travel plans. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday he does not expect a bargain to be struck until after Christmas.
"It appears at this stage, we'll see if anything changes, but it appears we're going to be coming back the day after Christmas to complete work on the fiscal cliff," he said on the Senate floor.
Two major factors are making things tough on Boehner. The first is that tax rates on all Americans will go up in the New Year if no deal is made – something that would be a devastating blow to Republicans, who would get most of the blame, according to public polling. The second is that even if he manages to strike a deal with the president, there's no evidence that he'll be assured of marshalling the support from his members that would be needed to pass it, particularly as the president presses him further and further on increasing tax revenues.

Continuing with the Sawtelle & Sepulveda series, this time we profile the life of a sixth generation Culver City resident who was born and raised on the old Rancho La Ballona.
Fred Machado found my 2004 red Volkswagen Beetle absolutely hilarious.
"What kind of car is that?" he asked after bursting into a carefree laugh, staring past the lace curtains of his living room into the tree-lined street.
His face filled with excitement, he recounted the story of how he and his best friend George Sweeny once souped up two Volkswagens to take racing, eventually ripping the bumpers clean off thanks to one very treacherous course.
"My wife was hanging onto the handrails the whole time," he recalled with a smile. "She said 'Never again!'"
For nearly four hours on a Thursday afternoon, Fred Machado shared his world with me. At 87 years old and a sixth generation Culver City resident, few people can offer insight into past, present and future like he can.
"I've had an interesting life," he said humbly. "I can't complain."
Seated in his wood-paneled living room, family portraits mingled with the framed covers of World War I-era sheet music. "World War I was my thing," Fred said as he gazed at the original sheet music of such pieces as "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry" and "Over There."
Fred's personal stories stretch out like a chronology of the land itself. After all, his story doesn't just begin with his birth in 1923. Fred's story began centuries before.
"I have copies of all these documents on the family, done by hand, naturally, in Spanish," he said, surveying the vast collection of family artifacts he's amassed over the years. "I have this one on linen. It gave a description of my great, great, great grandfather. He was discharged from the army in 1799. I have a copy of his discharge."
José Manuel Machado, a Sinaloa-born soldier, came up from Mexico with his new bride–a very pregnant María de la Luz Valenzuela—in 1781. It was José Manuel's sons that ended up staking their claim at Rancho La Ballona and it was there, just over a century later, that Fred was born.
"What was life like on the ranch? As children, [there was] the big barn and, of course, all the houses. We had our own water tank because there was no electricity or nothing like that. And, of course, we used kerosene lamps when I was a young kid. But as children, it was just play and have fun. Never wore any shoes, playing cowboys and Indians in the barn."
After serving in the Pacific and in Korea, Fred seemed overcome with an adventurous spirit, rebuilding World War I-era biplanes (again with his rascally friend, George), learning to fly out of the Culver City airport, and eventually flying his beloved planes as far as Wisconsin, open cockpit and all.
"In the airplanes, I actually crashed twice!" he laughed. "One of them was a doozy. I tore the wings off of it and everything."
Still, Fred's enthusiasm for exploring the world didn't end there.
"[George and I] rode to Baja together on our motorcycles," he said. "Now that was a really interesting thing. In 1970, we rode from Ensenada to La Paz. That's 1,032 miles and it was across the desert. It took nine days. We slept in the barns. We ate in the ranches. You know, it would cost us $0.25. And they'd let you sleep in the barn with the dogs! It was a fantastic adventure."
"I just loved it," he went on. "Parts of it felt like being back in 1870. It was just a whole other world, but it still felt like home."
"The most interesting things about me are the historical background of my family, flying, motorcycles, and probably in that order," Fred said.
Unofficially dubbed the historian of the Machado family, Fred's house, though kept meticulously clean, is virtually a treasure trove of artifacts, old photos, and cherished memories.
Still, it was his unassuming charm that made my afternoon with him unexpectedly fascinating.
"You've traveled so much, Fred, and you've seen so much of the world," I said to him. "Why is it that you always came back to Culver City?"
"Why? Oh, because this is my home. This is where my family is."

HATTIESBURG -- The kitchen was a firehouse driveway. The chefs all have day jobs -- marine patrol officers with the state Department of Marine Resources.
The attire was disaster casual. The patrons were mostly first responders from the Hattiesburg area. The tables were the hoods of mud-spattered pickups under a sky that threatened to open up at any moment.
But tornado cleanup volunteers didn't seem to mind -- they'd come Saturday for the Coast seafood cooked and served by a dozen or so volunteers from the DMR at the Hattiesburg fire station on Main Street.
"This is the best eatin' we've had in a while," said Jerry Montgomery, a contract worker monitoring the cleanup for the city.
It took about two weeks to organize the trip and get donations of food and supplies from Coast businesses, said interim DMR Director Danny Guice. And at least one volunteer who made the trip doesn't work for the DMR.
Chief Walter Chataginer, chief of the DMR patrol, said it was an easy decision for the volunteers, most of whom, he said, normally would be spending a day off with their families.
"We've had our share of tragedies on the Coast, and devastation, and people always come down to help us," he said. "A lot of people don't take into account these first responders -- firemen, policemen, AMR, medical, search and rescue people, they don't get to stop and eat lunch."
Many at the makeshift mess hall ate on their feet and were finished and gone in minutes.
Capt. Chris Bolton of the Forrest County Sheriff's office was one.
"It's good, it's good," he said. "It's some of the best."
Although the feast was organized for fellow first responders, no one was turned away. Volunteers are swarming the city, parts of which are still in a shambles from the Feb. 10 tornado.
There was a social work class from the University of Mississippi-DeSoto in South Haven, which was in town helping FEMA.
"We've been walking through neighborhoods, asking people to register for FEMA. If they wanted to talk, they could talk," said Angie Teasley, a junior. "Whatever they needed done."
Along the way, they've seen an impressive volunteer effort.
"We've run into a lot of volunteer groups, so it's real interesting to see how many people are coming from so far away and different walks of life to help these people," said Emily Norton, a senior.
Linda Montgomery, the administrative assistant to the Hattiesburg fire chief, was on the phone trying to round up hungry people and make sure every volunteer had a chance to eat.
"This is a wonderful thing that the Marine Resources and Marine Patrol came down to feed the first responders and volunteers," she said. "This is a way to show a thank-you to everyone by coming and feeding them and telling them they're doing a wonderful job."

WARNER ROBINS -- C.B. Watsons legacy lives on not only with the school that is his namesake but also as a fifth generation of Watsons attends Houston County schools.
During the dedication ceremony of the C.B. Watson Primary School on Oct. 22, almost a dozen of his relatives listened as he was praised for his efforts in Warner Robins.
Watson was born in 1875 and was appointed the citys first mayor in 1941. He served 8 1/2 years as the mayor, beating out five opponents in 1948, said Houston schools Superintendent Robin Hines.
His local support is legendary, Hines said.
Watson also was a county commissioner as well as a school board member.
Sonny Watson, wife Jeanne Watson, daughter Cindy Rearden, son-in-law Neal Rearden, Jennifer Rearden-Spence, Joseph Rearden, Chase Spence and Hunter Spence are all descendants, as well as Anne Burgess, Sonny Watsons sister; Heath Wilson, Jamie Floyd, Kelli Wilson, Abele Pierce and Shyanne Wilson.
Chase and Hunter Spence are the fifth generation of C.B. Watson and are students at Mossy Creek Middle School.
All of those who were present attended our schools, said Beth McLaughlin, director of community and school affairs for Houston schools.
After the dedication and ribbon cutting, students offered tours of the new building. The school has 39 classrooms and is 81,000 square feet.
I know that youll be impressed, Hines said of the new school, which currently houses pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.
Once renovations at Linwood Elementary are complete, C.B. Watson will have grades pre-k through second grade, while the new Pearl Stephens will host grades third through fifth. That shift will start in the 2014-15 school year.
The schools media center holds laptops, a new smart table with a touch screen and a TV room, where students can become budding journalists.
Bravynn Taleb and Breshona Hurley, both third-graders, gave a tour of the school to Col. Christopher Hill, installation commander at Robins Air Force Base.
Hill said more than 7,000 students in Houston County were from military parents, including active duty and reservists.
Johnathan Groves, 8, a third-grader at the school, is a military child who enjoys meeting new friends and also his new school.
I like how my teacher is really nice, he said.

SMR official showcases photography
Date: December 18, 2009
by: Pam Eubanks | News Editor
Most know SMR Farms President Mac Carraway as a distinguished agriculturist.
Now, he's showcasing his talent as a nature photographer as well.
Carraway, who has been taking and printing traditional and digital photographs for more than 30 years, will have some of his photographic works displayed through Jan. 8 at the Manatee County Agricultural Museum, 1015 6th St. W., Palmetto.
Carraway specializes in photographic portraits of Florida flowers, but other featured pieces include infrared landscapes and agricultural scenes, among others.
"My dad was in the printing business when I was a kid, and I loved watching (black and white) prints come up in the developer," Carraway said. "He later gave me that old equipment after I took a photo course in college. I've been taking pictures ever since, and doing my own developing."
When digital cameras came out, they offered a whole new level of creativity, he said.
Carraway's work was featured in the Palmetto Art Center's Fall Show earlier this year along with the work of several other local artists and photographers.
"I really do (photography) because I enjoy it, but these opportunities to hang a few pieces were very excited," Carraway said. "I hope to do more as time permits."
The Ag Museum is open from 10 a.m. to noon and 1-4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and the first and third Saturday of the month. The museum will be closed from Dec. 23 to Jan. 4 for the holidays.
Admission is free. For information, call 721-2034.

Curled up under your deck, in your garden or in the tall grasses along a trail lays a long earth-toned reptile looking for mice, frogs or worms to prey upon. The red-blooded animal with dry, scaly skin has teeth and bones, but lacks legs, ears and eyelids.
And, contrary to popular belief, it is virtually harmless.
In fact, according to Rob Carmichael, Curator of the Wildlife Discovery Center of Lake Forest and a instructor at the , snakes are more afraid of humans than you may think.
"Most of the time the snakes are very calm," Carmichael said during a Snakes Alive! Earth Day presentation at CLC.
He said snakes may scatter back and hiss if you try to grab them but it is because they are terrified, not because they want to inflict harm.
Carmichael said they get a bad reputation simply because people are afraid.
He and Dr. Mike Corn, a professor at CLC, hope to change that perception by explaining why snakes are so important.
"You can see in some areas we have huge populations of rodents," Carmichael said. "Snakes help keep those rodents at bay as they prey on voles, mice and the like."
"You'll notice it in your garden," Corn said, adding that because such a large majority of Lake County is developed, the snake population is decreasing.
"It's important to keep the Lake County Forest Preserve up and going so these snakes can survive," Corn said.
According to the Lake County Forest Preserve there are 39 species of snakes in Illinois. Of them, only four are venomous and only the Eastern Massasauga lives in northern Illinois.
The reptile is reclusive and usually inhabits wet prairies, marshes and low areas along rivers and lakes.
The Eastern Massasauga is so uncommon it is considered a state endangered species.
Pet Snakes and Teaching Tools
Sarah Kondenar of Antioch recently adopted the more common garter snake as the family's new pet after finding it in their garden.
"I was really surprised because I haven't seen a snake around here in a while," she said.
She is now using the 18-inch reptile as a teaching tool in homeschooling her daughters Mercy, 8, and Evelyn, 5.
"This presentation of Snakes Alive! fit right in to what we were looking at and what is happening with our pet. It was great timing," she said.
Stacey Martin, 14, just couldn't get enough of the varieties of snakes, handling many that were on display during the Snakes Alive! program.
A garter snake owner herself, Martin said she is attracted to snakes simply because so many people dislike them.
She picked up her pet at the fair last summer.
"It's been really neat to watch her interact with the snake," said Martin's mom Libby, of Gurnee. "She'll sit and read with it in her lap, or bring it around the house. It's truly become her pet."
Coexisting with Snakes
While not everyone is interested in having a garter snake as a pet, Carmichael said if you do find one near your home to let it be.
If that sounds unsettling, there are measures you can take to reduce its presence around your property.
- Keep your lawn cut low and clean. Snakes need cover to hunt and protect themselves. If they don't have a place to hide they are less likely to be around your home. Likewise, do not leave wood or brush piles in one spot for an extended period of time.
- Repair cracks along your foundation and fill holes around pipes and other entryways. Snakes can access openings as small as one-quarter of an inch, so make your repairs before they decide to establish a nesting spot.
- If you have a real snake "problem" and don't feel equipped to deal with it contact the Lake County Forest Preserve.
