ODOT began construction in June 2010 on a highway widening project on U.S. 26 (Sunset Highway) between Cornell Road and 185th Avenue. As of January 2013, work is substantially complete. Landscaping and cleanup work remains. The project contractor is Granite Northwest, Inc. Project Background The existing section of U.S. 26 (Sunset Highway) between Cornell Road and 185th Avenue was inadequate to meet the current or long-term capacity needs of the Sunset Corridor. This project addressed the capacity issues by adding an additional travel lane in both directions on U.S. 26 from Cornell Road to 185th Avenue – a distance of about 2 miles. Now that it's complete, there are three lanes in each direction from downtown Portland to 185th Avenue. This project will provide congestion relief and enhance access to commercial, industrial, and residential properties in Washington County. Highway widening took place on the outside (right) shoulders in both directions. Additional project elements included: * Widening left and right shoulders * Adding cable barrier in the center median * Upgrading signs * Improving storm water management with an innovative filter drain * Building a retaining wall at Bronson Creek * Paving and striping the project area * Landscaping **** Look here for a graphic detailing U.S. 26 before, during and after construction.
Look here for a map of the project area. Schedule and Traffic Impacts Construction began June 2010 and was substantially complete in January 2013.
Project funding The project is funded with a combination of federal, state, and county dollars. The Oregon Legislature provided funds the majority of the funding through the 2009 Jobs and Transportation Act (JTA). This is the first JTA project in the state to begin construction. The estimated construction cost for the project is $12 million.

48 hours in Oslo at Christmas time
By Victoria Klesty
OSLO (Reuters) - Oslo dresses up in white lights ahead of Christmas but keeps the spirit of the season partly under wraps as befits a reserved Nordic capital with a winter shroud of darkness and some of Europe's highest food and drink prices.
Norwegians are a bit preoccupied with home and hearth in December, and many hotels close just before Christmas until after New Year's. But this city founded a millennium ago puts out a surprisingly warm vibe in the snow.
Reuters correspondents with local knowledge help visitors get the most out of a 48-hour visit.
5 p.m. - From Oslo Airport take the express train labeled "Drammen" to the National Theatre station.
Stay at the nearby Grand Hotel (+47 23 21 20 00) or Hotel Continental (+47 22 82 40 00) if you're well heeled. More economical? Try the Thon Hotel Cecil (+47 23 31 48 00), though it's closed between Christmas and New Year's.
6 p.m. - Wander among food and gift booths surrounding the Spikersuppa ice-skating rink, bracketed by Parliament and the ornate National Theatre. Overlooking the scene is the Royal Palace, windows aglow.
7 p.m. - Next door to the Grand, check off some holiday gift-buying at the century-old Freia chocolate shop. Continued...

IUP ROUNDUP: Softball team takes two more in division
Hannah Mercer and Christi Mauk homered for the second straight day as the IUP softball team racked up 17 hits in a doubleheader sweep of Gannon in PSAC West action Wednesday.
A day after sweeping Seton Hill to open division play, IUP took two from Gannon, 6-2 and 4-2, and the Crimson Hawks stand in first place in the West Division.
In the second game, Mercer hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the third inning to give IUP a 2-1 lead.
Meghan Carney got IUP on the board with an RBI double in the second to tie the game at 1.
Then, in the sixth, Mauk hit a solo home run and Kaylee Prendergast added a run-scoring single to make it 4-1.
Carney was the lone IUP player with two hits. She went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles.
Amanda Spindler (3-1) earned the complete-game win, yielding six hits, two runs and no walks.
In the opener, IUP strung together four straight two-out hits in a four-run third inning to take a 5-0 lead. Jasa Mitchell hit a run-scoring double, Mary Ward followed with an RBI single, and Mauk hit a two-run single.
An inning earlier, Allison Viguers opened the scoring with an RBI single.
Mauk added an RBI groundout in the fifth to finish with three RBIs in the game and four on the day. Mauk and Mitchell each went 2-for-4, and Stefanie McCoy was 2-for-3 with a double.
Alexa Campbell (4-2) earned the win, yielding three hits and two runs in a complete-game effort. She struck out four and walked two.
IUP (10-4, 4-0 PSAC West) visits Slippery Rock on Friday.
TENNIS: Tanya Timko continued her recent torrid stretch, and Ranvita Mahto moved into third place on the school's singles wins list in IUP's 7-2 win over Slippery Rock in a PSAC West match. The Crimson Hawks won their fifth straight match.
Timko beat Nikolina Grbac, 6-3, 6-3, at the top singles spot to run her personal winning streak to five. Grbac was ranked fourth in the Atlantic Region.
Timko teamed up with Erika Schnaas for an 8-6 win at No. 1 doubles. Since being paired up on March 27, Timko and Schnaas have gone 5-0. Timko has gone a combined 10-0 during IUP's current five-match winning streak.
Earlier Wednesday, Timko was named the PSAC West Athlete of the Week.
Schnaas (6-3, 6-1), Rachel Wood (6-1, 6-1) and Alanna McFail (6-1, 6-4) also won in straight sets. Sophie Butland and McFail won at No. 2 doubles, 8-6.
Meanwhile, Mahto needed a huge rally to earn career singles win No. 68. After dropping the opening set 3-6, she won the next one 6-2, but quickly found herself trailing 5-0 in the third-set super breaker. She rallied to tie it at 7 and eventually won 11-9. She sits 13 wins behind Katie Eaton, who graduated last spring with a school-record 81 singles victories.
IUP (11-5, 4-0 PSAC West) visits Ashland (Ohio) on Saturday.

Do you keep up with "American Idol" or "America's Got Talent?" Pop culture is fascinated with how the casting process is realized—and this show started the craze. You may ask, "Why would I want to see that show again? I saw the tour. I saw it on Broadway. I saw the movie." And the answer is: because you have always seen it done the same way…until now. Since it arrived on Broadway, this show has been recreated time and time again in spectacular productions around the world. But it has never been reinvented for today's audience. Every production duplicates the original choreography and environment. Not for us. We will be starting from scratch. Artistic Director Marc Robin will direct and choreograph. "This is a hugely personal show for me," says Marc. "It represents the story of my own life. I can't wait to share my vision of it for Fulton audiences. It's the same script, the same characters and same story; but told a whole new way."
"It may just be better than the original…this production is a sensation!" –Broadway World.com

Not to belittle the points posted, nor principles, but if we are concerned about 2A rights, we need to spend some time writing and emailing our representatives. If you haven't contacted your federal reps, maybe you contact them and then get back to posting.
Wouldn't it be interesting to have a board rule that says you can't post about 2A rights and threats to those rights until you have contacted your legislators? Would that separate the ones that talk from the ones that really care?
And, yes, I have contacted and received replies from my reps.
While we may believe new bills may not get through Congress, our legislators will be pressured to vote for gun control measures. If they don't hear otherwise, and in force, from us, they might see that as us not caring strongly about it.
Sorry for the rant, but we need to do a little to encourage and urge our reps to support gun rights and strongly oppose gun control measures.

A proposed bill that would outlaw the Czech communist party as well as Nazi organizations passed the first reading in the Senate. The law is backed by former dissidents and members of the academic community who believe it necessary to prohibit extreme political parties. Senator Jaromir Stetina said the law indicates "that Czech society has finally resolved to cope with its totalitarian past." Communists argue that citing the words of Karl Marx to justify concluding contemporary communists seek violence violates the very concept of democracy.
This proposed law which revokes the right of people to vote communist because it is feared they might vote incorrectly somehow smacks of totalitarianism. Democracy is predicated on the belief ideas have to circulate freely because one is convinced a majority seek to live in a democratic society. Using undemocratic means to achieve democratic ends only serves to erode democratic rights. I find it unwise to cite the words of a 19th century thinker who had nothing to do with Soviet or Chinese communism. To damn Marx because his followers used totalitarian means is the same as claiming Christ is responsible for the all the evils committed in the name of Christianity.

About Sir Walter III de Hungerford
"The venerable remains of Farley Castle, the renowned baronial residence of the Hungerfords, is situated about six miles south-east from bath, in the county of Somerset. It is supposed to derive its name from the fairness of its leys, or meadows; being situated in a rich and beautiful tract of country. Farley is of great antiquity, having been in the possession of some of the Saxon Thanes; and it was for many ages distinguished as the seat of men of great power and eminence. At the time of the Norman Conquest [A.D. 1066] it was possessed by one of the Conqueror's powerful barons, Roger de Curcelle; at whose death, William Rufus granted it to Hugh de Montfort, son to Thurstan de Bastenbergh, another Norman of distinction." (p. 361)
"In its original state this castle consisted of two courts of wards, which were surrounded by a lofty embattled wall and a moat. The hall was hung round with suits of armour worn by its martial possessors, and with the spoils from the fields of Cressy, Poictiers, Agincourt, and Calais. Of these buildings no perfect part remains." (p. 363)

Stewart overshadowed by Patrick at SpeedweeksBy JENNA FRYER , Associated Press
Feb. 19, 2013 5:58 PM ET
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tony Stewart typically shines during Speedweeks, the nine-day span where he cements himself as a top contender to win the Daytona 500.

He's back in the spotlight this year, just not the way he's been in the past.
Stewart has so far been overshadowed by Danica Patrick, who drove a Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet to the pole in qualifying for the Daytona 500. It's made Patrick, not Stewart, the star so far at Daytona.
As Patrick's car owner, Stewart is just fine with that.
"I'll be honest, the pole didn't matter to me personally," Stewart said after Patrick qualified first for Sunday's season-opening race. "It was more as an owner, wanting Danica to be in the top two."
He got his wish, with Patrick locking herself into the field with the fastest lap of last Sunday's qualifying session. It was an all-around stellar qualifying session for SHR, which also had Ryan Newman post the fourth fastest time and Stewart one spot behind in fifth.
It was a demonstration of offseason preparation for a team that spent the winter not only readying for NASCAR's new Gen-6 car, but also running three Sprint Cup cars this season with the full-time addition of Patrick.
"This was probably one of the most difficult winters that I can remember from my 15 years of going through offseasons here for teams to actually get prepared to come down here to Daytona," Stewart said. "To have three cars in the top five like that, just really, really appreciative and excited that we were able to bring three consistent cars down like this."
Stewart can bask in his role as owner only until Thursday, when it will be time for him to start focusing on the Daytona 500. It was in the back of his mind after qualifying last Sunday, when he was proud of Patrick and the SHR organization but knew what was ahead for him as a driver.
"To me, my eye is still on next Sunday. Ownership side this Sunday, next Sunday I want it from the driver's side," he said.
There's no questioning how bad Stewart wants the win.
Despite three Cup championships, 47 career wins in NASCAR's top series and a record that proves he's as one of the most talented and versatile drivers in the world, Stewart has several glaring holes on his resume and one of them is the Daytona 500.
In 17 seasons spanning NASCAR and IndyCar, Stewart has been able to cross most everything off his to-do list. But he has fallen short 14 times in the Daytona 500. He's won 18 career races at Daytona — four in the July Cup race — but never in the biggest race of them all.
Coincidentally, he's also never won the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, the Southern 500 at Darlington or his beloved Indianapolis 500. He turned down an offer from Roger Penske in December to return to the Indy 500 in a Penske car this season after an 11-year absence from the race he was obsessed with as a child.
It's because his commitment must be on his NASCAR organization, must be on his No. 14 Chevrolet, and right now the task is to finally grab a Daytona 500 victory. He was reminded of how close he's come while watching a recent special on SPEED about drivers who have failed to win the biggest race on the NASCAR schedule.
"I saw three or four clips of races where I remember we had a shot and let it get away from us," he said. "Everything has to go right. The Indy 500 is the same way. It's easy to compare those two because everything has to go right that whole day.
"You don't normally get the opportunity to have a mistake and come back from it. It just seems like it's hard to make up from a mistake. You look at the guys that normally have that trophy at the end of the day, they're guys that had no drama at all during their race."
Stewart's best shot at the Daytona 500 was probably 2008, when he was leading with a half lap remaining. He went low to hook up with then-teammate Kyle Busch, and Kurt Busch pushed Newman into the lead and to the win. In 2002, Stewart was dominant in everything through Speedweeks, only to have an engine failure two laps into the Daytona 500.
Greg Zipadelli, who was crew chief for Stewart 10 years, believes the duo had multiple shots to win the Daytona 500 and other big races that have eluded Smoke.
"I honestly can sit here and say that four or five of 10 years together, we shoulda, coulda won the Daytona 500," Zipadelli said. "We did all we could do at that time, we put an awful lot of effort into our speedway cars ... we led a lot of laps, and had some crazy wrecks and some half-a-lap to go passes. Just crazy things."
Stewart believes luck is just as important as skill and car setup when it comes to the big races.
"You do everything in your power to take care of the science or technology side, do everything you can to build the fastest car you've got," he said. "Then if you don't have the luck to go with it — even if you don't have any drama with getting the car touched, nothing happens to the car, if you're just in the wrong spot at the wrong time at the end, it can take you out of the opportunity to (win)."
Zipadelli said the duo has taken some solace in their two Brickyard 400 wins at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but the big losses still sting. Stewart had a shot at winning the Coca-Cola 600 in 2007 until a late flat tire dropped him to sixth.
Stewart can't dwell on it, said Zipadelli, who is now the competition director at SHR.
"I think the worst thing you can do is look at it and put extra pressure on yourself to try and make something happen because that's usually when it doesn't," he said. "You've got to roll with it and put your effort in and hopefully you are blessed that day."
Easier said than done, especially this Sunday. Stewart knows that from all his years racing at Daytona and Indy.
"Those two races, the drama that's involved in those two, the pressure that you put on yourself, I've never had any other race like it," he said. "Not any championship race or anything. If you go to Daytona and Indy, there's just something about running those two races that you don't get anywhere else. You don't have that emotion. That's part of the equation that doesn't get factored into the other races because it just doesn't exist like it does here and Indy."

Toms River Names its Next Police Chief
Toms River Captain Mitch Little is in line to become the townships new Police Chief.
Little was nominated by Mayor Thomas Kelaher during Monday's Township Council meeting and the decision received the the backing of the council members.
In a written statement Kelaher said, "Effective January 1st, 2014, Mitch Little will assume the duties of Toms River Police Chief, with an official swearing in ceremony on January 7th at the Council re-organization meeting."
Little will replace Chief Mike Mastronardy who will be sworn in to serve as Ocean County's new Sheriff on January 1st after serving as township's Chief for 21 years.
In a township press release Little said "I'm grateful to the Mayor and Council for granting me this opportunity. In my first year, I want to get several projects organized and I want to concentrate on the most serious issue that the town is facing at this time, which are the crime rates and the drug problem. I also want to institute more directed patrols and primarily address the issues that affect the quality of life in Toms River."
Following Mayor Kelaher's recommendation, the Township Council also re-established the Deputy Chief position. Captain Steven Henry will be promoted to the position and will head up the Operations responsibilities of the Police Department. The position will require an amendment to the police ordinance and he's expected to be sworn in on February 11th.

For Non-Subscribers: Jacket Copy Brings George Packer's New Yorker Article to Surface
Is Amazon bad for books? George Packer's glimpse into the inner workings of the voracious mega-retailer is featured in the most recent issue of The New Yorker. Want to stay in the loop? The folks at Jacket Copy covered this article and included a few highlights for your perusal. Their write-up is so good, we couldn't help but purchase a hard copy of this week's New Yorker to read Packer's complete article, for ourselves.
Amazon is good for online shoppers, but is it good for books?
That's what George Packer asks in this week's New Yorker, in a long article that looks at the online retailer as disruptor.
Amazon can be difficult to write about — the company would not confirm to the New Yorker facts as simple as how many employees it has in Seattle or how many Kindles it has sold. Packer, the author of the books "The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America" (2013) and "The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq" (2005) talked to me about what it was like to report his story.
"Compared to Iraq or the recession in rural North Carolina, I thought it would be relatively straightforward," Packer said. It wasn't.
Initially, Amazon was going to give Packer access to report about the company from the inside, then things changed. "It took Amazon a little while to decide they weren't going to cooperate with me," he said.
When he came back from book leave in mid-2013, Packer's New Yorker editors suggested the idea to him. "They originally thought of it as a [Jeff] Bezos piece," he said.
While he was working on the article, Brad Stone's book "The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon" was published — a book Packer said he found to be excellent. But it made focusing on the company's chief executive redundant.
The article, Packer said, "kept eluding me. What am I writing about here?"
What he came up with, he explained, is "Amazon's relation to the world of culture — especially books."
Interesting facts in his article: When a buyer searches for a book on Amazon.com, the results are partly determined by the fees paid by publishers; publishers pay Amazon a percentage of the profits they make through the online store each year; those percentages have gone up; although publishers may be squeezed by Amazon, they remain dependent on the company for as much as 30% of their sales, a number that's still growing.
He also wrote about payments Amazon gets from publishers, often in the form of discounts — information that is rarely shared. "You have to be very high up to know about it," he said.
"Peeling back all the ways Amazon and publishing are entangled," Packer said, "took forever." […]

After writing to Rep Joel Sheltrown about new ORV legislation the results are in
Heres what you get for your money
Thanks again to everyone who participated in the public comment process regarding draft legislation to permit and regulate the operation of ORVs on county road shoulders. My intent in drafting this bill is to produce quality legislation which balances the interests of ORV users with public safety, environmental protections, and the general welfare of communities who choose to allow ORVs to operate on their county road shoulders. In doing so, it was necessary to sort through the differing opinions offered on each of the proposed changes to achieve that balance. After reviewing comments made by over 200 people through letters, telephone calls, and e-mails, eight changes (listed below) will be made from the 14 suggested by the public and local officials. These changes will become the version of the bill I will introduce in the House later this winter. As the bill moves through the legislative process, we should expect to see additional changes made by other legislators through amendments. Shortly before the bill is introduced, I will e-mail you a copy of it. If you agree with the bill, I will ask you to contact your local legislators asking that they co-sponsor it. In the meantime, please feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have or suggestions for additional ORV legislation not relating to county road shoulders.
Joel Sheltrown
State Representative
103rd House District
1. Golf Carts
Golf carts will not be addressed in this bill. Instead, a separate bill will be drafted to allow golf carts on road shoulders by amending the Michigan Vehicle Code.
2. Mandatory Flags
The flag requirement currently in the draft bill will be removed.
3. Access Routes
The access route language will be removed from the draft bill thereby separating county road shoulders from the DNR trail system.
4. Misdemeanor
The misdemeanor language will be changed to civil infraction but the maximum fine will be left at $500.
5. Northern Michigan Limit
The current language will remain in the bill.
6. Speed Limit
The maximum speed limit will be changed in the draft bill to a standard 25 mph unless a county posts signs for a lower maximum speed.
7. County Permits
The concept of creating county ORV permits will not be added to the draft bill.
8. County Road Commissions
The language currently in the draft bill will remain unchanged.
9. Hours of Operation
Operating hours will be changed in the draft bill from 30 minutes after sunrise/30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise/30 minutes after sunset.
10. Age of Operation
Language will be added to prohibit the operation of ORVs on county road shoulders to people less than 18 years of age unless they hold a valid drivers license or are directly supervised by a parent or guardian.
11. Lights
Language will be added to require a working headlight and taillight on any ORV operating on a county road shoulder (except for farm vehicles operating under current law with a flag.)
12. Prima Facie
Prima Facie liability will remain in the draft bill.
13. Liability Insurance
Insurance requirements will not be added to the draft bill.
14. Shoulder Width Requirements
Shoulder width requirement language will not be added to the draft bill.
Additional Change:
Language will be added to the draft bill to ensure ORVs can ride on F-routes (county roads which receive federal funding)

Skin Problems From A-Z
The following is not meant to be a guide for diagnosis of your own pet's disease, nor is it a comprehensive list of all skin problems. Please consult your veterinarian for professional advice.
Allergies can be due to food, fleas, dust mites, pollens, grasses, mold spores and other materials found in the environment. Chronic intense itching is a common sign. Allergies usually cause irritation of the face, neck, over the topline and the tail base, and the abdomen. Affected cats often lick, chew, scratch, rub their face, or excessively groom. Cats may exhibit runny noses or watery eyes. To make the diagnosis of allergies, your veterinarian must rule out many other conditions. Utilizing the history, physical examination, clinical signs and certain diagnostic tests, your veterinarian can diagnose your pet's skin condition. See flea allergy, food allergy.
"Walking dandruff" is a contagious mite affecting dogs, cats, and rabbits. Itchiness may occur, but often may not be present. Large dandruff flakes in the fur are commonly noted. See zoonotic diseases.
Newer types of demodex mite are being recognized in cats. Demodex gatoi is one. Demodex cati is the most common type of demodectic mite in cats. The latter causes greasy ears and patchy scaly itchy spots. This is an uncommon cause of skin disease in cats.
This describes a fungal infection with a dermatophyte, or "ringworm". This may cause crusty circular lesions but in cats, often it is a condition that is hidden. Longhaired cats often carry the ringworm fungus in their haircoat without any signs of skin irritation. This fungus has very resistant spores that can live in the home for years. It's possible to detect one type of ringworm with a black light, however final diagnosis is based upon a fungal culture done by your veterinarian. This disease is transmissible to humans. See zoonotic diseases.
Ear Mites
These are a common pesky pest of cats. Frequently, kittens pick them up during their nursing phase by close contact with their infested mother and cohorts, or by contact with cats in the neighborhood. Any age of cat can be affected. A black dryish coffee ground discharge may be seen in the ears, and very severe itchiness may lead to serious wounds around the base of the ear where Kitty scratches away at the irritated ears.
Endocrine Disorders
Hormone disorders may cause symmetrical hair loss (alopecia). These diseases must be diagnosed by your veterinarian.
Eosinophillic Granuloma Complex
This disease occurs fairly frequently in cats. We identify three overlapping syndromes: eosinophilic plaques, eosinophilic granulomas, and indolent ulcers. All are similar, and may occur in combination. They are allergic type disorders.
External Parasites
These include, but are not limited to, fleas, ticks, and mites. Most external parasites cause itchy skin. Cats respond to the irritation by scratching, biting, and licking. Depending on the severity and extent of the pruritus, your veterinarian may prescribe medications that help reduce inflammation and itchiness. Because cats have such rough tongues, if they get working at the skin, they can cause skin lesions because of their vigorous grooming, and sometimes this means that secondary trauma and infection occurs which will be treated as well. Flea control needs to include treatment of the home since the flea will set up a life cycle that not only includes the cat host, but includes your carpets and furniture! See Flea allergy dermatitis, Ear Mites, Cheyletiellosis, Demodicosis, and Zoonotic diseases.
Feline Acne
Often occurs on the chin producing swelling and blackheads. Any age or breed can be affected, and some cats have just one pimple outbreak, while with others it becomes a recurrent problem. When severe, pus pockets can form, and the condition may be quite painful if advanced.
Flea Allergy Dermatits (FAD)
This skin problem is due to an allergic reaction to flea saliva. It is possible in animals with FAD to react to just one bite from a flea for up to 10 days! There may or may not be evidence of fleas or flea dirt. Not all animals with fleas develop an allergic reaction. Cats often get skin lesions over the topline near the tail but irritation spots can occur anywhere. See Allergies.
Food Allergy
This is a likely cause of allergic symptoms in young cats. Your veterinarian may recommend a food trial using hypoallergenic diets if food allergy is suspected. In cats, food allergy may produce digestive upsets in addition to skin lesions. See Allergies.
In cats, an overactive thyroid can cause alopecia (hair loss) from excessive self-grooming. Signs can be similar to allergies or psychogenic alopecia. This hormone problem may also result in scaling of the skin and a dry haircoat.
Immune-Mediated Disorders
Decreased function of the immune system can adversely affect skin health. In cats, chronic Feline Immunodeficiency Virus infection can lead to secondary infections of the skin associated with the immune system depression caused by this slow virus.
Psychogenic Alopecia
This is an obsessive compulsive disorder commonly seen in cats, frequently resulting in hair loss of the abdomen and inner thighs due to overgrooming. Often, owners do not notice the cat grooming but hairs are broken off, which usually indicates excessive grooming and "barbering".
Deep skin infections, often secondary to the effects of intense scratching, are sometimes seen in cats. Pyoderma needs to be treated by your veterinarian with appropriate antibiotics.
Systemic Diseases
Primary disease somewhere other than the skin can cause secondary skin problems. See Endocrine Disorders, Immune-mediated Disorders, and Hyperthyroidism.
Zoonotic Diseases
This term means diseases shared between pets and humans. Cheyletiellosis and Dermatophytosis (ringworm) are examples.

Diverse Dengue Type 2 Virus Populations Contain Recombinant and Both Parental Viruses in a Single Mosquito Host
Craig, Scott B., Thu, Hlaing Myat, Lowry, Kym S., Wang, Xiao-fang, Holmes, Edward C., & Aaskov, John G. (2003) Diverse Dengue Type 2 Virus Populations Contain Recombinant and Both Parental Viruses in a Single Mosquito Host. Journal of Virology, 77(7), pp. 4463-4467.
Envelope (E) protein genes sampled from populations of dengue 2 (DEN-2) virus in individual Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and in serum from dengue patients were copied to cDNA, cloned, and sequenced. The nucleotide sequences of the E genes in more than 70% of the clones differed from the consensus sequence for the corresponding virus population at up to 11 sites, and 24 of the 94 clones contained at least one stop codon. Virus populations recovered up to 2 years apart yielded clones with similar polymorphisms in the E gene. For one mosquito, the clones obtained fell into two genotypes. One group of sequences was closely related to those of viruses recovered from dengue patients in the same locality (Yangon, Myanmar) since 1995 and were classified as Asian 1 genotype. The second group were Cosmopolitan genotype viruses which were also circulating in Yangon in 2000 and which were related to DEN-2 viruses sampled from southern China in 1999. Finally, one clone was identified as a recombinant genome composed of portions of these two "parental" genotypes. This is the first report of recombinant and parental dengue viruses in a single host.

Detailed Accident Report
Submitted By: Ron Johnson; GNAFC
Place: Lionhead, Near West Yellowstone
State: MT
Country: USA
Summary: 1 snowmobiler caught, buried, and rescued wearing a tranciever
During the afternoon of January 31, 2002, a snowmobiler released an
avalanche. He and a partner were riding near Lionhead, which is about 15
miles (24 km) northwest of West Yellowstone, Montana. He got stuck
trying to climb a steep, 600-foot (180 m) hill. The avalanche released
about 400 feet (120 m) above him while he was trying to free his sled.
His partner witnessed the avalanche from a small ridge near the bottom
of the avalanche path.
Both riders wore avalanche transceivers and carried shovels. They stated
that they rarely rode on the same slope at the same time, which was the
reason only one person was on the slope. When the ?dust? settled, the
rider who witnessed the avalanche rode onto the debris. He didn?t see
any surface clues and commenced a beacon search. As soon as he turned
his beacon to receive, he acquired a signal. Within a few minutes, he
decided he was close enough to start digging. About ten minutes after
the avalanche, he had dug through about 5 feet of debris and struck his
partners helmet. The buried person, though unconscious was breathing.
The rescuer left the site for several minutes while he used a cell phone
to notify the authorities in West Yellowstone. He returned to the site
and spent another 10 to 15 minutes removing the remainder of the snow
that covered his partner. The buried person regained consciousness after
being buried for a total of about 20 minutes. He remembered being caught
in the avalanche and heard his partner searching for him before he
?blacked out?. He was buried lying on his side, perpendicular to the
slope and wasn?t injured.
The next day, I went to the site and talked to the people involved in
the incident. They were retrieving a snowmobile, which was buried under
5 feet (1.5 m) of debris, at the same elevation and 20 feet (6 m) from
where the rider had been buried. These guys were from Wyoming and had
ridden in this area during previous visits. They were experienced
mountain riders.
The avalanche was about 500 feet (150 m) across and ran about 600
vertical feet (180 m). The crown was at 8400 feet (2520 m) in elevation
and was 2 to 4 feet (.6 to 1.2 m) deep. The avalanche using the U.S.
Classification was HS-3-AV-O. Using the Canadian Scale this was a size 2
to 3 avalanche. The avalanche fractured on a weak layer of faceted
crystals that formed near the snow surface during a cold, dry spell
around Christmas. The average slope angle of the bed surface was 37
In summary: A person is alive because his partner watched him ?highmark?
from a safe location, his partner carried and knew how to use the
appropriate rescue gear, and his partner did all ?the right stuff? to
facilitate a successful rescue.

Single Mode FC/PC Fiber Optic Patch Cables
One End Labeled with Part
FC/PC Connector
Please Wait
Thorlabs offers single mode patch cables with FC/PC connectors on both ends. Each cable is manufactured in our facility on state-of-the-art equipment and is individually tested to ensure low back reflection (return loss) at fiber-to-fiber junctions. Available from stock, these cables feature Ø3 mm PVC protective jackets with internal kevlar threads for durability in the lab.
Each patch cable includes two protective caps that shield the ferrule ends from dust and other contaminants. Additional CAPF Plastic Fiber Caps and CAPFM Metal Threaded Fiber Caps for FC/PC-terminated ends are also sold separately. Mating sleeves are available to connect FC to FC and FC to SMA connectors. These mating sleeves minimize back reflections and ensure proper alignment of the cores of each connectorized fiber end.
For shorter wavelengths, Thorlabs also offers Low-Insertion-Low Patch Cables, which feature handpicked single mode fiber with tighter core concentricity specifications for lower insertion loss and higher transmission. We also offer AR-Coated Single Mode Patch Cables, which have an antireflective coating on one fiber end for higher performance in fiber-to-free space applications. If you cannot find the appropriate stock patch cable your application requires, Thorlabs also offers custom patch cables with same-day shipping.

Laser Induced Damage in Silica Optical Fibers
The following tutorial details damage mechanisms in unterminated (bare) and terminated optical fibers, including damage mechanisms at both the air-to-glass interface and within the glass of the optical fiber. Please note that while general rules and scaling relations can be defined, absolute damage thresholds in optical fibers are extremely application dependent and user specific. This tutorial should only be used as a guide to estimate the damage threshold of an optical fiber in a given application. Additionally, all calculations below only apply if all cleaning and use recommendations listed in the last section of this tutorial have been followed. For further discussion about an optical fiber's power handling abilities within a specific application, contact Thorlabs' Tech Support.
Damage at the Free Space-to-Fiber Interface
There are several potential damage mechanisms that can occur at the free space-to-fiber interface when coupling light into a fiber. These come into play whether the fiber is used bare or terminated in a connector.
Unterminated (Bare) Fiber
Damage mechanisms in bare optical fiber can be modeled similarly to bulk optics, and industry-standard damage thresholds for UV Fused Silica substrates can be applied to silica-based fiber (refer to the table to the right). The surface areas and beam diameters involved at the air-to-glass interface are extremely small compared to bulk optics, especially with single mode (SM) fiber, resulting in very small damage thresholds.
The effective area for SM fiber is defined by the mode field diameter (MFD), which is the effective cross-sectional area through which light propagates in the fiber. To achieve good efficiency when coupling into a single mode fiber, a free-space beam of light must match the diameter given by the MDF. Thus, a portion of the light travels through the cladding when matching the MFD. The MFD increases roughly linearly with wavelength, which yields a roughly quadratic increase in damage threshold with wavelength. Additionally, a beam coupled into SM fiber typically has a Gaussian-like profile, resulting in a higher power density at the center of the beam compared with the edges, so a safety margin must be built into the calculated damage threshold value if the calculations assume a uniform density.
Multimode (MM) fiber's effective area is defined by the core diameter, which is typically far larger than the MFD in SM fiber. Kilowatts of power can be typically coupled into multimode fiber without damage, due to the larger core size and the resulting reduced power density. For MM fibers, a free-space beam of light must be focused down to a spot of roughly 70 - 80% of the MFD to be coupled into the fiber with good efficiency.
It is typically uncommon to use single mode fibers for pulsed applications with high per-pulse powers because the beam needs to be focused down to a very small area for coupling, resulting in a very high power density. It is also uncommon to use SM fiber with ultraviolet light because the MFD becomes extremely small; thus, power handling becomes very low, and coupling becomes very difficult.
Example Calculation
Area = πr2 = π(MFD/2)2 = π • 1.52 µm2 = 7.07 µm2
This can be extrapolated to a damage threshold of 17.7 mW. We recommend using the "practical value" maximum power density from the table above to account for a Gaussian power distribution, possible coupling misalignment, and contaminants or imperfections on the fiber end face:
250 kW/cm2 = 2.5 mW/µm2
7.07 µm2 • 2.5 mW/µm2 = 17.7 mW

The limiting factor with optical fiber terminated in a connector is free-space light entering the fiber.
Terminated Fiber
Optical fiber that is terminated in a connector has additional power handling considerations. Fiber is typically terminated by being epoxied into a ceramic or steel ferrule, which forms the interfacing surface of the connector. When light is coupled into the fiber, light that does not enter the core and propagate down the fiber is scattered into the outer layers of the fiber, inside the ferrule.
The scattered light propagates into the epoxy that holds the fiber in the ferrule. If the light is intense enough, it can melt the epoxy, causing it to run onto the face of the connector and into the beam path. The epoxy can be burned off, leaving residue on the end of the fiber, which reduces coupling efficiency and increases scattering, causing further damage. The lack of epoxy between the fiber and ferrule can also cause the fiber to be decentered, which reduces the coupling efficiency and further increases scattering and damage.
The power handling of terminated optical fiber scales with wavelength for two reasons. First, the higher per photon energy of short-wavelength light leads to a greater likelihood of scattering, which increases the optical power incident on the epoxy near the end of the connector. Second, shorter-wavelength light is inherently more difficult to couple into SM fiber due to the smaller MFD, as discussed above. The greater likelihood of light not entering the fiber's core again increases the chance of damaging scattering effects. This second effect is not as common with MM fibers because their larger core sizes allow easier coupling in general, including with short-wavelength light.
Fiber connectors can be constructed to have an epoxy-free air gap between the optical fiber and ferrule near the fiber end face. This design feature, commonly used with multimode fiber, allows some of the connector-related damage mechanisms to be avoided. Our high-power multimode fiber patch cables use connectors with this design feature.
Combined Damage Thresholds
The graph to the right shows the power handling limitations imposed by the fiber itself and a surrounding connector. The total power handling of a terminated fiber at a given wavelength is limited by the lower of the two limitations at that wavelength. The fiber-limited (blue) line is for SM fibers. An equivalent line for multimode fiber would be far above the SM line on the Y-axis. For terminated multimode fibers, the connector-limited (red) line always determines the damage threshold.
Please note that the values in this graph are rough guidelines detailing estimates of power levels where damage is very unlikely with proper handling and alignment procedures. It is worth noting that optical fibers are frequently used at power levels above those described here. However, damage is likely in these applications. The optical fiber should be considered a consumable lab supply if used at power levels above those recommended by Thorlabs.
Damage Within Optical Fibers
In addition to damage mechanisms at the air-to-glass interface, optical fibers also display power handling limitations due to damage mechanisms within the optical fiber itself. Two categories of damage within the fiber are damage from bend losses and damage from photodarkening.
Bend Losses
A special category of optical fiber, called double-clad fiber, can reduce the risk of bend-loss damage by allowing the fiber's cladding (2nd layer) to also function as a waveguide in addition to the core. By making the critical angle of the cladding/coating interface higher than the critical angle of the core/clad interface, light that escapes the core is loosely confined within the cladding. It will then leak out over a distance of centimeters or meters instead of at one localized spot within the fiber, minimizing damage. Thorlabs manufactures and sells 0.22 NA double-clad multimode fiber, which boasts very high, megawatt range power handling.
Germanium-doped silica, which is commonly used for the core of single mode fiber for red or IR wavelengths, can experience photodarkening with blue visible light. Thus, pure silica core single mode fibers are typically used with short wavelength visible light. Single mode fibers are typically not used with UV light due to the small MFD at these wavelengths, which makes coupling extremely difficult.
Even with the above strategies in place, all fibers eventually experience photodarkening when used with UV light, and thus, fibers used with these wavelengths should be considered consumables.
Tips for Maximizing an Optical Fiber's Power Handling Capability
With a clear understanding of the power-limiting mechanisms of an optical fiber, strategies can be implemented to increase a fiber's power handling capability and reduce the risk of damage in a given application. All of the calculations above only apply if the following strategies are implemented.
One of the most important aspects of a fiber's power-handling capability is the quality of the end face. The end face should be clean and clear of dirt and other contaminants that can cause scattering of coupled light. Additionally, if working with bare fiber, the end of the fiber should have a good quality cleave, and any splices should be of good quality to prevent scattering at interfaces.
The alignment process for coupling light into optical fiber is also important to avoid damage to the fiber. During alignment, before optimum coupling is achieved, light may be easily focused onto parts of the fiber other than the core. If a high power beam is focused on the cladding or other parts of the fiber, scattering can occur, causing damage.
Additionally, terminated fibers should not be plugged in or unplugged while the light source is on, again so that focused beams of light are not incident on fragile parts of the connector, possibly causing damage.
Bend losses, discussed above, can cause localized burning in an optical fiber when a large amount of light escapes the fiber in a small area. Fibers carrying large amounts of light should be secured to a steady surface along their entire length to avoid being disturbed or bent.
Additionally, choosing an appropriate optical fiber for a given application can help to avoid damage. Large-mode-area fibers are a good alternative to standard single mode fibers in high-power applications. They provide good beam quality with a larger MFD, thereby decreasing power densities. Standard single mode fibers are also not generally used for ultraviolet applications or high-peak-power pulsed applications due to the high spatial power densities these applications present.

With only a few more shopping days until Christmas, there's precious little time to waste to make your holiday the best it can be for you and yours.
With the holiday falling on the weekend this year, it shouldn't upset your schedule too much to spend Dec. 24 and 25 at home.
But before you settle in for the family togetherness, there are still some fun activities leading up to the big day to bring your spirit to its peak.
■ It can be tough for children to decide what they want to see under the tree or in their stocking with so many choices today.
For the kids who have had difficulty choosing between a pony, PlayStation or a new pair of socks, the Craig Daily Press will make sure Santa Claus gets your correspondence with time to spare.
Northwest Colorado youth can bring their letters to Santa to the Daily Press office, 466 Yampa Ave. The only requirement is to include your first name and age.
Don't worry about the rest of the details — the big guy can take it from there.
Besides going to the North Pole, all the letters collected by the Press will run in our Christmas Eve issue of the Saturday Morning Press.
The deadline to bring letters in is 5 p.m., Friday, so get to writing. For more information, call 824-7031.
■ The last seven days saw plentiful performances from students within the city limits of Craig. Tonight, another area school gets its chance to shine.
The students of Maybell Elementary School, 30 Haynes Ave., will present the play "The Year Santa Forgot Christmas" at 6:30 p.m. tonight. The only admission price is one non-perishable food item per person to help the less fortunate have a Merry Christmas.
The Maybell Parent Advisory Committee will also have hot drinks and cookies following the show, while kids get the opportunity to meet the star of the play and take pictures with him. For more information, call 272-3266.
■ The little ones aren't the only people who will be having a good time today, as anybody with a sweet tooth can attest of this next event.
As part of the Wellness Wednesday program for this week, Aging Well will host a holiday cookie exchange at noon today at The Journey at First Baptist Church, 1150 W. Ninth St. Everyone who attends is asked to bring in one or two dozen of the treats to share with others.
So, waste no time and get your gingerbread, shortbread, chocolate chip and sugar cookies in the oven and ready to go.
Call 871-7676 with any questions.
■ With all the cooking, shopping, wrapping and other details of the season, it might be hard to find a few hours to sit down with some popcorn and be entertained.
But, if you've got the time, you should be happy with the results you find at the local bijou.
West Theatre is pleased to announce its latest development, the installation of digital projection.
The first movie it screens in digital format will be "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows." It will also be bringing in the family-friendly "We Bought a Zoo."
While you're taking it easy on your holiday break, now is the time to get the DVD or Blu-ray player fired up. New releases include the inspirational "Dolphin Tale" or the female twist on "The Tempest" starring Helen Mirren.
New Christmas movies are in short supply at Redbox, but if you're looking for non-holiday movies, you can find the mother lode this week, with action-oriented features like "Warrior," "Straw Dogs" and the unrated version of "Colombiana." If none of those strike your fancy, Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" may do the trick.
You can also purchase an electronic gift card to send to the movie-lovers on your present list through redbox.com.
If you are looking for a good selection of viewing to watch Christmas Eve, look for my feature on overlooked holiday films on our website within the next few days.
Until next week, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good read.

Wal-Mart bashing may be the new spectator sport in America, but the nation's largest retailer is slowly learning some important lessons from a series of legal setbacks involving time and attendance records and managers' misguided efforts at cost control.
Employers of all sizes nationwide can learn a thing or two from Wal-Mart's mistakes.
Requiring work during breaks: a $78 million error. The most recent blow came from a Pennsylvania jury that awarded a group of present and former Wal-Mart workers $78 million in damages because the retailer forced employees to work without pay.
The employees sued under state labor laws (an increasingly popular way to get bigger awards from local juries) and claimed that managers pressured them to work off the clock and cut or skip meal/rest breaks. Two cashiers told of being locked in the store to work without pay. One cashier testified she feared losing her job if she didn't agree to ...(register to read more)

Congress Raises Debt Ceiling, with Shifts and Cuts in Student Aid Funding
Mark Kantrowitz
August 03, 2011
This change affects approximately 1.2 million graduate and professional students a year, slightly more than one-third of all graduate and professional students (35.5%). The impact will be felt disproportionately by professional degree students, with almost three-quarters of law and medical school students receiving subsidized Stafford loans. Of the affected students, about two-thirds are in Master's degree programs, about a tenth in doctoral degree programs and about a fifth in professional degree programs.
Note that undergraduate subsidized Stafford loans owed by a graduate student do not lose their subsidized interest benefit. In particular, the federal government will still pay the interest on an undergraduate subsidized Stafford loan while the student is enrolled in graduate or professional school. The legislation affects only the availability of subsidized Stafford loans to pay for graduate and professional school starting on July 1, 2012, replacing them with the same amount of unsubsidized Stafford loans.
There isn't much that graduate and professional students can do to prepare for the elimination of subsidized Stafford loans. Federal student loans are still less expensive than private student loans in the long term. Federal student loans also have better repayment terms, such as income-based repayment and public service loan forgiveness. One option for saving money is to pay the interest on the loans while you are in school, if you can, to avoid interest capitalization.
Elimination of Prompt Payment Discounts
Previously, borrowers in the Direct Loan program could get two discounts. The first discount rebates half of the 1% loan fee for borrowers who make the first 12 payments on time. The second discount is a 0.25% interest rate reduction for borrowers who have their monthly loan payments withdrawn automatically from their bank accounts. The prompt payment discount will be eliminated for new loans starting on July 1, 2012, while the auto-debit discount will be retained. These changes apply to all borrowers of new federal education loans, including undergraduate Stafford loans, Parent PLUS loans, graduate and professional student Stafford loans, Grad PLUS loans and consolidation loans.
Historically, less than a fifth of Stafford loan borrowers have received prompt payment discounts. Consolidation loan borrowers were much more likely to receive the rebate, with about half receiving the discount.
Pell Grant Program Still at Risk of Cuts
Even though the debt deal devotes $17 billion to reducing a funding shortfall in the Pell Grant program and preserves the $5,550 maximum Pell Grant, the Pell Grant program remains at risk of cuts. The Pell Grant program is still left with a $1.3 billion funding shortfall in FY2012 and will probably suffer from funding shortfalls in subsequent years.
To address the remaining funding shortfall, Congress must either appropriate additional money for the Pell Grant program or make further cuts in student aid spending. The most likely scenario involves changing the eligibility requirements for the Pell Grant program, such as reducing the eligibility from 18 semesters to 12 and requiring at least half-time enrollment. Congress is unlikely to cut the maximum Pell Grant.

What is MMA?
Mixed martial arts combines different fighting styles
Mixed martial arts is a full-contact sport that combines different fighting styles, including karate, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, Vale Tudo, Muay Thai and Brazilian Ju jitsu.
MMA Fighters
Fighters battle it out in a cage with minimal equipment on. During the matches, mixed martial arts fighters only wear thin gloves, and are barefoot. Fighters are allowed to punch, kick, grab or do anything else to their opponents to win the matches. This stays true to the sports Brazilian fighting roots of Vale Tudo, which translates into English as "anything goes."
The few rules that the sport does have are similar to boxing and wrestling. Fighters can win a mixed martial arts match by three different ways. A fighter can knockout or hold into submission his opponent, or win by a judge's decision.
Fighters compete in seven weight classes: bantamweight, featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight.
In the past 18 years, mixed martial arts MMA has left the underground world and has become mainstream. One of the largest and fastest-growing organizers of mixed martial arts is the Ultimate Fighting Championship, or UFC. UFC was started in 1993.
UFC credits the increased popularity of mixed martial arts due to their monthly pay-per-view fights, weekly reality television show and yearly broadcasts on the FOX television network. More than 12 live pay-per-view mixed martial arts fights are broadcasted yearly. Fox shows at least four fights a year.
MMA is broadcasted in more than 149 countries.
Welcome to Fight Club
One recent exhibition of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be found in this video. This is an impressive display of a real world use of the art (even though it is completely fictionalized). If you haven't seen it, check this out:
