BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. (AP) -
Officials said Thursday that the burned remains found in a California mountain cabin have been positively identified as fugitive former police officer Christopher Dorner.
Jodi Miller, a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County sheriff-coroner, said the identification was made through Dorner's dental records.
Miller did not give a cause of death.
The search for Dorner began last week after authorities said he had launched a deadly revenge campaign against the Los Angeles Police Department for his firing, warning that he would bring "warfare" to LAPD officers and their families.
The manhunt brought police to Big Bear Lake, 80 miles east of Los Angeles, where they found Dorner's burned-out pickup truck abandoned. His footprints disappeared on frozen soil and hundreds of officers who searched the area and checked out each building failed to find him.
Five days later, but just a stone's throw from a command post authorities had set up in the massive manhunt, Karen and Jim Reynolds said they came face to face with Dorner inside their cabin-style condo.
The couple said Dorner bound them and put pillowcases on their heads. At one point, he explained that he had been there for days.
"He said 'I don't have a problem with you, so I'm not going to hurt you,'" Jim Reynolds said. "I didn't believe him; I thought he was going to kill us."
Police have not commented on the Reynolds' account, but it renews questions about the thoroughness of a search for a man who authorities declared was armed and extremely dangerous as they hunted him across the Southwest and Mexico.
"They said they went door-to-door but then he's right there under their noses. Makes you wonder if the police even knew what they were doing," resident Shannon Schroepfer said. "He was probably sitting there laughing at them the whole time."
The notion of him holed up just across the street from the command post was shocking to many, but not totally surprising to some experts familiar with the complications of such a manhunt.
"Chilling. That's the only word I could use for that," said Ed Tatosian, a retired SWAT commander for the Sacramento Police Department. "It's not an unfathomable oversight. We're human. It happens. It's chilling (that) it does happen."
Law enforcement officers, who had gathered outside daily for briefings, were stunned by the revelation. One official later looking on Google Earth exclaimed that he'd parked right across the street from the Reynolds' cabin each day.
The Reynolds said Dorner was upstairs in the rental unit Tuesday when they arrived to ready it for vacationers. Dorner, who at the time was being sought for three killings, confronted the Reynolds with a drawn gun, "jumped out and hollered 'stay calm,'" Jim Reynolds said during a Wednesday night news conference.
His wife screamed and ran downstairs but Dorner caught her, Reynolds said. The couple said they were taken to a bedroom where he ordered them to lie on a bed and then on the floor. Dorner bound their arms and legs with plastic ties, gagged them with towels and covered their heads with pillowcases.
"I really thought it could be the end," Karen Reynolds said.
The couple believes Dorner had been staying in the cabin at least since Feb. 8, the day after his burned truck was found nearby. Dorner told them he had been watching them by day from inside the cabin as they did work outside. The couple, who live nearby, only entered the unit Tuesday. "He said we are very hard workers," Karen Reynolds said.
After he fled in their purple Nissan Rogue, she managed to call 911 from a cellphone on the coffee table. Police said Dorner later killed a fourth person, a sheriff's deputy, during a standoff, and died inside the burning cabin where he took cover during a blazing shootout.
While authorities have not corroborated the couple's account, it matched early reports from law enforcement officials that a couple had been tied up and their car stolen by a man resembling Dorner. Property records showed the Reynolds as the condo's owners.
The San Bernardino County sheriff has refused to answer questions about how one of the largest manhunts in years could have missed him.
During the search, heavily armed deputies went door to door to search roughly 600 cabins for forced entry. Many of the cabins were boarded-up summer homes.
Authorities said officers looked for signs that someone had forcibly entered the buildings, or that heat was on inside in a cabin that otherwise looked uninhabited.
Helicopters had landed SWAT officers in a lot near the Reynolds' condo, and through the weekend they stood in plain view from the cabin, gearing up in helmets, bulletproof vests, with assault weapons at the ready.
According to the Reynolds, the cabin had cable TV, and a second-story view that would have allowed him to see choppers flying in and out.
Timothy Clemente, a retired FBI SWAT team leader who was part of the search for Atlanta Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph, said searchers

Frequent flyer programs are confusing and complicated, but what is clear is that they've become a big dollar-driver for the airlines.
Unless you're a frequent business traveller, you're faced with a dilemma. If you want to build up your frequent flyer points, you'll need to fly the same airline every time or only transact with businesses that allow you to earn points through a linked credit card. But what if a dream discount fare with another carrier pops up?
Frequent flyer miles have a limited shelf life; you would have to fly often enough within a limited window of time for there to be any benefit. Like gift cards with too many restrictions, frequent flyer miles can be a gift that rarely, if ever, gives.
Katie Mackenzie told CHOICE "when I do fly I choose the cheapest flight, which is rarely Qantas, where my points are. I had a large number of points with Ansett, mostly from credit card purchases, which I lost when they went bust."
Naomi Stephens adds, "I find it hard to convert points to seats – they never to seem to have what I want, even outside of peak travel."
John Loche simply points out that there are "too many points required for a flight". One of CHOICE's shrewdest bargain seekers, Zoya Sheftalovich, puts a fine point on it: "I used to care a lot, but over the past three or four years really cheap fares have become available with the discount carriers and the bigger airlines got stingy and made their points worth less in real terms. Plus they stopped awarding miles on the cheaper tickets. Last year I lost about 6000 points from not flying enough."
Qantas and Virgin Australia – the only two domestic carriers that offer points – are battling it out on the frequent flyer front, with Virgin playing catch-up to Qantas' long-standing market dominance.
In late August, Virgin released a re-tooled version of its Velocity, including a new platinum level for status credits and the opportunity to upgrade on domestic flights using points (previously unavailable).
The new Virgin plan looks like an effort to make points more user-friendly, especially for those who fly a lot. A promised upcoming feature is that families will be able to pool points and status credits and put their membership on hold for six months for parental leave without losing their credit status, something CEO John Borghetti says "is very important to our customers who spend time away travelling and want to share their benefits with their families". Borghetti admits that "reward seats were becoming harder to find and more expensive", although the revised Velocity Frequent Flyer program still does not appear to be designed to reward casual travellers. Not to be outdone, Qantas has a new, higher-level platinum program in the works, aimed at a very select group of flyers.
23 Apr 2010 | Once again, we found that members will sacrifice a lot for a bargain flight.
9 Aug 2011 | We surfed more than a dozen Australian flight comparison websites and found savings of up to $369 for flights leaving to and from the same destination on the same dates.
19 Mar 2009 | We analysed 63 reward credit and charge cards, looking at frequent flyer points, shopping vouchers and cash rewards.

The $35,000 Louis Vuitton Whisky Case
Filed under: Gadgets, Luxury Travel & Hotels, Spirits, Men's Style
Famed French luxury goods house Louis Vuitton has come out with an updated, ultra-luxe version of the classic Whisky Case portable bar that the firm first offered in 1955. Available by special order priced at about $35,000, it's wrapped in elegant Taiga leather, though you can order it in iconic monogram canvas as well. And whereas with its compartment for mixer the previous model was more of a Scotch and soda case, if you will, the new incarnation demands nothing less than the finest single malt. Constructed entirely by hand at Vuitton's atelier in France with fittings, hasps and locks of silvered solid brass, it comes with a silver ice bucket and tongs, silver cocktail sticks in a pull-out drawer, four crystal whiskey tumblers, a crystal decanter with a silver lid, and two crystal "Coupelle" dishes in separate compartments.

Kings' Robinson suspended two games
The Sacremento Kings' Thomas Robinson has been suspended for two games without pay due to elbowing the Detroit Pistons' Jonas Jerebko. Robinson was ejected from Wednesday's game and assessed a flagrant-2 foul for the elbow. Those sitting courtside said that the altercation may have been due to Jerebko constantly trash-talking throughout the game.

Lorraine was married in 1962, widowed in 1973, remarried in 1979. His, mine and ours totals 11 children and 26 grandchildren. Lorraine is now retired from the Sleepy Eye Care Center where she worked for 18 years. Hobbies include family, quilting, crochet, travel, fishing with spouse, and an annual week at the lake with the WHOLE family where they have an "Unbirthday Party" for all the grandchildren. Lorraine is happy to be volunteering to bring so much joy to Seniors. She has been on the pontoon as a volunteer, as a patron with Red Hats Club, and as an employee in charge of Senior Outings. This program is a blessing all around. June 10, 2012, we were blessed with our first great-grandchild: Evan James Carrier
We had a "Name the pontoon" contest. The pontoon's official name is "The Chief's Pride". Some people may not realize that "Sleepy Eye" was a Native American Chief with drooping eye lids: in Native American ISH TAK HA BA. We had more than 50 entries/submissions. The name "The Chief's Pride" which was voted in by the active trained volunteers, refers back to the origin of the city's settlement

- Description
The top of Gad Cliff offers one of the most spectacular views along the Dorset and East Devon coast World Heritage Site (the Jurassic Coast). Here the rocks have been folded into a huge 'S' shaped kink as the result of earth movements about 15 million years ago. In the foreground, Kimmeridge Clay together with Portland and Purbeck strata, lie in the southern side of the fold and are dipping steeply to the north. In the distance, the same rocks are level as they are located away from the fold. This huge structure, known as the Purbeck Monocline, runs east to west across Purbeck, dominating the landscape.

Nice shot Richard. Can I make a couple of suggestions? Firstly, there are quite a few geologists out there who would like to see your coastal shots so why not add 'geology' to your tags? I think that if you search on geology at gigapan.org, you will get some idea of how much interest there will be. Secondly, if and when time permits, can you geocode your images? Being able to see gigapans in Google Earth is a much-overlooked feature which I think is rather unfortunate because gigapans look *so* much better in GE.

Senior Jeff Janssen (Fairmont, Minn./Fairmont) buried a three-pointer with just under five seconds to go to force overtime, but it was Coe College (15-7, 9-4 IIAC) converting all six of its free-throw attempts down the stretch in overtime to hold off the Beavers, 77-74, on Saturday night inside of Siebens Fieldhouse.
The Beavers trailed by seven at half, but came out of the gate to start the second half on an 11-2 run to take a 37-35 lead on freshman Cole Darrow's (Glenwood, Iowa/Glenwood) bucket five minutes in. Neither team was able to build any larger than three the rest of the way, and after Coe extended its lead to three with a pair of free-throws, Janssen buried a three in front of the BVU bench to square things up at 65-65.
Coe nearly won the game in regulation, but its half court shot rimmed out to force overtime.
The Kohawks built a 71-67 lead with 3:29 to play in the extra frame before senior Michael Elming (Johnston, Iowa/Johnston) got the Beavers back within a point with a three-pointer with just over a minute to play. Coe then went back up by three with 15 seconds left, and made two free-throws with under 10 seconds to go to keep it at that same margin, as the three-point attempt by BVU at the buzzer came up short.
Junior Wes Nordquist (Adel, Iowa/ADM) had a monumental night for BVU, scoring a game-high 27 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, while also surpassing the 1,000 career point mark. He becomes only the 10th player in program history to have scored at least 1,000 career points and grab at least 500 career rebounds. Elming and Doug Bissen (Earling, Iowa/Harlan) each followed with 11 points, as Bissen also grabbed nine rebounds.
The Beavers finished the game shooting nearly 47 percent from the field, despite going just 4-of-15 from downtown. They also held a slim rebounding edge at 36-35.
David Mataloni scored 19 points to help lead Coe.
The Beavers now stand at 12-9 overall (8-4 IIAC) and will go back on the road this Wednesday night when they travel to Simpson College (9-11, 6-6 IIAC) for an 8:00pm tip-off.

yes but that's just proves how stupid they are, if there is a need for this case they should have brought it in at a more reasonable price instead of milling it out of a bug ass chunk of metal, sure its cool but they just destroyed their potential market.
Ummmm nope. There would be a ridiculous amount of waste if that was the case. (haha case). A chunk of aluminium that size would cost a fortune. Anyway, the sides/front are 5mm aluminium sheet that have been bent, different piece for top and bottom. I like it. We don't see enough of these quality cases. I'm so sick of plastic and boring cases. Touch screen on the front panel is cool and wouldn't be cheap by itself.
no. aluminum scrap is easily melted and reused again for making another one. so no. no wastage. any industry using aluminum does that. not just aluminium, but for most metals. all the waste from machining processes are sent to the furnace to be melted and used again.
For 800 USD I feel like I might as well get a Titan instead. It looks like a fantastic case but I don't see the price tag being worth it at all.
Where does it say it is milled from one aluminum block? And aluminum is not easily recyclable to the same grade as it was delivered in due to contamination of other metallic particles. Cleaning a melt is energy intensive and you need special chemicals for it as well. You should always go for near net shaping even with aluminum.
I would like to know this as well. Just from looking at it I see some large pieces that were done at once, but not the entire case. It's certainly not made up of a ton of small parts, that's pretty obvious but I don't know about all one piece.
1. It's not milled out of a solid block. Stop being ignorant. 2. This is somehow related to the company OrigenAE, they have something in common, they use the same manufacturer or they are the same people or they have some sort of agreement. Their case looks like a modified OrigenAE S21T. http://www.origenae.co.kr/en/htpc_s21t.htm I'm wondering that no one has observed this yet. 3. Although I don't like it's form factor, I'm happy that this case exists. Most other products just feel cheap, this includes ANY lian li or silverstone or corsair or whatever manufacturer. Material thickness of less than 1 mm, lots of plastic "features" and so on... I'm pretty sick of that. Now someone tries to do better, and people instantly cry about the $800 price tag. I wish there were more cases of this quality level.
they did say its one piece, which does imply it was carved out of a single block. and ofcourse they dont use a solid block, they make the mould to the nearest meaurements possible and then mill off the rest. we use and recycle aluminum for moulding regularly in the forge. you just need to be sure not to let other metals in, which is why chip from mills are collected separately and they are milled in an enclosure which helps too. and its not possible to recycle the aluminum itself. but recycled aluminium is added to new aluminium in a definite ratio which helps keep the grade constant. its not like you use ONLY recycled aluminium to make something.
if you look at the outershell, it is a single piece. plus its 5mm thick. normal secc cabinets are made in press and the holes and stuff are stamped out. but you can only stamp out till a certain thickness and ductility of a material.. its true that the smaller parts were individual like the sidepanel, drive bays. but they are made from single blocks. and judging from the price, it was indeed made on a CNC mill.
Look at the gallery pictures on the product page. It's certainly not milled from one piece of aluminium. The front and sides are made from a single piece of aluminium which I assume has been bent because milling that would be insane. The top, bottom and rear panels are all separate.
Just a demo Steiger Dynamics LEET Liquid Cooled HTPC Demo - Yo... This is a demo of what this chassis can do. It's pretty impressive, I'm sure a lot of you would be more interested it if they found a way to drop the price
This does not look like a billet chassis, it appears to be a formed chassis. It's nice looking, though odd in shape but the price is still laughable however. Anbody buying one of these has Loser tatooed on their forehead.
I did not say that. I just implied that getting the same spec aluminum from something that has been processed is hard since you need to purify it again and add alloying elements to get to the same grade which is not a trivial process if your goal is to recycle. Downcycling to something less pure, lower grade aluminum is done lot because it is cheaper and easier.
This case is stupid. There were a handfull of case makers attempting similar cases for HTPC enthusiasts but quickly they realized noone is willing to pay damn near $1k for a freakin' case! Also, at this price, i'd be having a custom case made up. I feel sorry for anyones children who buy/bought this case...

Species: | Chikungunya virus |
Chikungunya (in the Makonde language "that which bends up") virus (CHIKV) is an arthropod-borne virus, of the genus Alphavirus, that is transmitted to humans by virus-carrying Aedes mosquitoes.[2] There have been recent breakouts of CHIKV associated with severe illness.
CHIKV infection causes an illness with symptoms similar to dengue fever, with an acute febrile phase of the illness lasting only two to five days, followed by a prolonged arthralgic disease that affects the joints of the extremities. The pain associated with CHIKV infection of the joints persists for weeks or months, or in some cases years.[3][4]
Signs and symptoms[edit]
The incubation period of chikungunya disease ranges from one to twelve days, usually two to three. Its symptoms include a fever up to 40 °C (104 °F), a petechial or maculopapular rash of the trunk and occasionally the limbs, and arthralgia or arthritis affecting multiple joints.[5] Other nonspecific symptoms can include headache, nausea, vomitting, conjunctivitis, slight photophobia and partial loss of taste.[6]
Typically, the fever lasts for two days and then ends abruptly. However, other symptoms—namely joint pain, intense headache, insomnia and an extreme degree of prostration—last for a variable period; usually for about five to seven days.[5] Patients have complained of joint pains for much longer time periods; some as long as two years, depending on their age.[7][8]
Common laboratory tests for chikungunya include RT-PCR, virus isolation, and serological tests.
- Virus isolation provides the most definitive diagnosis, but takes one to two weeks for completion and must be carried out in biosafety level 3 laboratories.[9] The technique involves exposing specific cell lines to samples from whole blood and identifying chikungunya virus-specific responses.
- RT-PCR using nested primer pairs is used to amplify several chikungunya-specific genes from whole blood. Results can be determined in one to two days.[9]
- Serological diagnosis requires a larger amount of blood than the other methods, and uses an ELISA assay to measure chikungunya-specific IgM levels. Results require two to three days, and false positives can occur with infection via other related viruses, such as o'nyong'nyong virus and Semliki Forest virus.[9]

Chikungunya virus is indigenous to tropical Africa and Asia, where it is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected mosquitoes, usually of the genus Aedes. Chikungunya virus belongs to alphavirus genus of the Togaviridae family. It is an "Arbovirus" (Ar-arthropod, bo-borne).
CHIK fever epidemics are sustained by human-mosquito-human transmission. The main virus reservoirs are monkeys, but other species can also be affected, including humans.[10]
This section requires expansion. (March 2008) |
Human epithelial and endothelial cells, primarily fibroblasts and monocyte-derived macrophages, are susceptible to infection. Lymphoid and monocytoid cells, primary lymphocytes and monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells are not susceptible to infection. Viral entry occurs through pH-dependent endocytosis. Infection is cytopathic and associated with the induction of apoptosis in the infected cell.
Infection is highly sensitive to the antiviral activity of type I and II interferon.
Type 1 Interferon[edit]
Upon infection with chikungunya, the host's fibroblasts will produce type 1 (alpha and beta) interferon.[11] Mice that lack the interferon alpha receptor die in 2–3 days upon being exposed to 102 chikungunya PFU, while wild type mice survive even when exposed to as much as 102 PFU of the virus.[11] At the same time, mice that are partially type 1 deficient (IFN α/β +/−) are mildly affected and experience symptoms such as muscle weakness and lethargy.[12] Partidos et al. 2011 saw similar results with the live attenuated strain CHIKV181/25. However, rather than dying, the type 1 interferon deficient (IFN α/β −/−) mice were temporarily disabled and the partially type 1 interferon deficient mice did not have any problems.[13]
Several studies have attempted to find the upstream components of the type 1 interferon pathway involved in the host's response to chikungunya infection. So far, no one knows the chikungunya specific pathogen associated molecular pattern.[14] Nonetheless, IPS-1—also known as Cardif, MAVS, and VISA—has been found to be an important factor. In 2011, White et al. found that interfering with IPS-1 decreased the phosphorylation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and the production of IFN-β.[14] Other studies have found that IRF3 and IRF7 are important in an age-dependent manner. Adult mice that lack both of these regulatory factors die upon infection with chikungunya.[15] Neonates, on the other hand, succumb to the virus if they are deficient in one of these factors.[16]
Chikungunya counters the Type I interferon response by producing NS2, a non-structural protein that degrades Rpb and turns off the host cell's ability to transcribe DNA.[17] NS2 interferes with the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and prevents STAT from becoming phosphorylated.[18]
There currently is no licensed vaccine to protect against chikungunya virus. The most effective means of prevention are protection against contact with the disease-carrying mosquitoes and mosquito control. These include using insect repellents with substances such as DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide; also known as N,N'-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide or NNDB), icaridin (also known as picaridin and KBR3023), PMD (p-menthane-3,8-diol, a substance derived from the lemon eucalyptus tree), or IR3535. Wearing bite-proof long sleeves and trousers (pants) also offers protection.
In addition, garments can be treated with pyrethroids, a class of insecticides that often has repellent properties. Vaporized pyrethroids (for example in mosquito coils) are also insect repellents. Securing screens on windows and doors will help to keep mosquitoes out of the house. In the case of the day-active Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, however, this will have only a limited effect, since many contacts between the vector and the host occur outside.
Vaccine research[edit]
Early-stage (phases 1 and 2) clinical trials have provided evidence in humans for safety and prophylactic efficacy of candidate vaccines, but these have not been developed further due to shifting research priorities.[19]
There are no specific treatments for chikungunya, and no vaccine is currently available. A Phase II vaccine trial, sponsored by the US Government and published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in 2000, used a live, attenuated virus, developing viral resistance in 98% of those tested after 28 days and 85% still showed resistance after one year.[20]
A serological test for chikungunya is available from the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur.
Chloroquine is gaining ground as a possible treatment for the symptoms associated with chikungunya, and as an anti-inflammatory agent to combat the arthritis associated with the virus. A University of Malaya study found that for arthritis-like symptoms not relieved by aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), chloroquine phosphate (250 mg/day) has given promising results.[21] Unpublished studies in cell culture and monkeys show no effect of chloroquine treatment on reduction of chikungunya disease. The fact sheet[10] on chikungunya advises against using aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and other NSAIDs that are recommended for arthritic pain and fever.
This section requires expansion. (March 2008) |
Recovery from the disease varies by age. Younger patients recover within 5 to 15 days; middle-aged patients recover in 1 to 2.5 months. Recovery is longer for the elderly. The severity of the disease as well as its duration is less in younger patients and pregnant women. In pregnant women, no untoward effects are noticed after the infection.
Ocular inflammation from Chikungunya may present as iridocyclitis, and have retinal lesions as well.[22]
Pedal oedema (swelling of legs) is observed in many patients, the cause of which remains obscure as it is not related to any cardiovascular, renal or hepatic abnormalities.
Chikungunya virus is an alphavirus closely related to the o'nyong'nyong virus,[23] the Ross River virus in Australia, and the viruses that cause eastern equine encephalitis and western equine encephalitis.[24]
Three genotypes of this virus have been described: West African, East/Central/South African and Asian genotypes.[25]
Chikungunya is generally spread through bites from Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, but recent research by the Pasteur Institute in Paris has suggested chikungunya virus strains in the 2005-2006 Reunion Island outbreak incurred a mutation that facilitated transmission by Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus).[26]
Concurrent studies by arbovirologists at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas, confirmed definitively that enhanced chikungunya virus infection of A. albopictus was caused by a point mutation in one of the viral envelope genes (E1).[27][28] Enhanced transmission of chikungunya virus by A. albopictus could mean an increased risk for chikungunya outbreaks in other areas where the Asian tiger mosquito is present. A recent epidemic in Italy was likely perpetuated by A. albopictus.[29]
In Africa, chikungunya is spread via a sylvatic cycle in which the virus largely resides in other primates in between human outbreaks.[24]
On 28 May 2009 in Changwat Trang of Thailand where the virus is endemic, the provincial hospital decided to deliver by Caesarean section a male baby from his chikungunya-infected mother, Khwanruethai Sutmueang, 28, a Trang native, to prevent mother-fetus virus transmission. However, after delivering the baby, the physicians discovered the baby was already infected with the virus, and put him into intensive care because the infection had left the baby unable to breathe by himself or to drink milk. The physicians presumed the virus might be able to be transmitted from a mother to her fetus, but without laboratory confirmation.[30]
In December 2013, chikungunya was confirmed on the Caribbean island of St. Martin.[31] This would mark the first occurrence of transmission to humans via an infected mosquito population in the Western Hemisphere.[32]
The word chikungunya is thought to derive from a description in the Makonde language, meaning "that which bends up", of the contorted posture of patients afflicted with the severe joint pain and arthritic symptoms associated with this disease.[33] The disease was first described by Marion Robinson[34] and W.H.R. Lumsden[35] in 1955, following an outbreak in 1952 on the Makonde Plateau, along the border between Mozambique and Tanganyika (the mainland part of modern day Tanzania).
According to the initial 1955 report about the epidemiology of the disease, the term chikungunya is derived from the Makonde root verb kungunyala, meaning to dry up or become contorted. In concurrent research, Robinson glossed the Makonde term more specifically as "that which bends up". Subsequent authors apparently overlooked the references to the Makonde language and assumed the term derived from Swahili, the lingua franca of the region. The erroneous attribution of the term as a Swahili word has been repeated in numerous print sources. Many other erroneous spellings and forms of the term are in common use including "chicken guinea", "chicken gunaya", and "chickengunya".[citation needed]
Since its discovery in Tanganyika, Africa, in 1952, chikungunya virus outbreaks have occurred occasionally in Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, but recent outbreaks have spread the disease over a wider range.
The first recorded outbreak of this disease may have been in 1779.[36] This is in agreement with the molecular genetics evidence that suggests it evolved around the year 1700.[37]
Use as a biological weapon[edit]
Chikungunya was one of more than a dozen agents the United States researched as potential biological weapons before the nation suspended its biological weapons program.[38]
In popular culture[edit]
The season 8 episode of the television series Bones entitled "The Pathos in the Pathogens" (episode 23) centers around a genetically engineered strain of chikungunya.

Current & Upcoming Films
Friday, July 29 – Thursday, August 4
A dystopic science-fiction epic, WORLD ON A WIRE is German wunderkind Rainer Werner Fassbinder's gloriously cracked, boundlessly inventive take on future paranoia. With dashes of Kubrick, Vonnegut, and Dick, but a flavor entirely his own, Fassbinder tells the noir-spiked tale of reluctant action hero Fred Stiller (Klaus Lowitsch), a cybernetics engineer who uncovers a massive corporate and governmental conspiracy. At risk? Our entire (virtual) reality as we know it. This long unseen three-and-a-half-hour labyrinth is a satiric and surreal look at the weird world of tomorrow from one of cinema's kinkiest geniuses. The Roxie is proud to present WORLD ON A WIRE in a stunning 35mm restoration, courtesy of Janus Films! Dir: R.W. Fassbinder. Starring Klaus Lowitsch, Barbara Valentin and Kurt Raab. West Germany. 1973. 212 min. Complete program (w/ intermission) plays nightly at 7pm, plus Saturday and Sunday at 12pm. Also, PART 1 ONLY on 7/28 at 4:30pm + PART 2 ONLY on 7/29 at 4:30pm.
World on a Wire was originally made for German television (WDR) in 1973 and was shot on 16mm reversal film material (Kodak/Eastman Ectachrome). The two- part film was shot in 44 days, from January until March 1973 in Paris, Munich, and Cologne. The first German TV broadcast was on October 14, 1973 (part I) and October 16, 1973 (part II).
The new Digital Master has been taken directly from the original 16mm A/B reversal rolls: they were scanned in 2K resolution on an ARRI Film Scanner and color-corrected on a Discreet Lustre System. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris and scratches were removed by using the MIT Digital Restoration System. The entire project was done under the supervision of director of photography Michael Ballhaus.
"A textbook example of a film that was ahead of its time … a movie that anticipates Blade Runner in its meditation on artificial and human intelligence and The Matrix in its conception of reality as a computer-generated illusion." - Dennis Lim, The New York Times
"FIVE STARS! The discovery of the season, rarely screened in America but very much a key chapter in Fassbinder's story." - Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
"The sheer audacity with which Fassbinder and his longtime cinematographer, Michael Ballhaus, move the camera, alighting as if by accident on resonant and complex compositions, is nothing short of breathtaking." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"There are movies that make news and movies that are news. World on a Wire is one of the latter. Suddenly: a virtually unknown, newly restored, two-part tele-film directed by long-gone wunderkind R.W. Fassbinder at the height of his powers." - J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
"Brilliantly sardonic … may be even more timely now than when it was made." - Richard Brody, The New Yorker
"Bridles with a pulpy energy and drive that may surprise Fassbinder devotees … this Teutonic sci-fi curio is certainly wild, weird and cool enough to qualify as one of the summer's essential movie events." - Jason Anderson, The Grid TO
"A thoroughly exciting bit of filmmaking … a totally self-serious bit of sci-fi filmmaking that has an excellent sense of humour about itself." - John Semley, Torontoist
"A fascinating time warp of a movie, elegant in design and bubbling with ideas. It's that rare science-fiction that combines beauty and brains." - Chris Knight, The National Post

I wasn't calling him an idiot, I was agreeing with him. I said idiotic fellows tend to be the ones who don't use grammar, Not the other way around, I've seen a few idiots use grammar and I've seen a few people who don't use grammar be rather intelligent. The reason I even responded is because grammar is an important part of typing. I guess everyone gets misunderstood. :/

Middle school girl admits to bomb threat that caused upheaval at Lemont schools
LEMONT – A female Lemont middle school student has been charged with disorderly conduct after admitting Tuesday to writing the bomb threat that caused unrest among parents, school administrators and law enforcement in the Lemont area.
"Incidents like this are disturbing," said Lemont Police Chief Kevin Shaughnessy. "They traumatize children. They create a fear in the minds of parents."
The girl is being charged as a juvenile and her case will be handled within the Cook County juvenile justice system, Shaughnessy said.

The Lost Journal of Domitius
Article posted March 8, 2012 at 01:45 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 33
In social studies we have studied Rome. We learned about everyday life and the life of a Roman gladiator and have created a journal of a Roman gladiator. This is and excerpt from The Lost Journal of Domitius.
Today is my first gladiatorial game. I will be fighting a secutor. I hope all of my training has paid off, and I will live to fight again. Despite my hatred of the Romans, I am almost excited to fight. If I win I will be treated more like a citizen and less like a slave, but my lanista will still have power over what I do. He is calling me now. It would be hard to imagine what Domitius is going through right before his first gladiatorial game. He could be killed in the next few hours, or he could win and be treated with a little bit more respect. A lot had happened to Domitius since the battle where he was captured. A secutor is another type of gladiator. The are heavily armored and were often matched with retiarius for interest (a heavy weight, slow gladiator against the vulnerable, yet nimble retiarius).

The fit was perfect and easily setup, the mat does not slip around or move at all. I decided this would be a great idea since I frequently have groceries in my trunk and once had a carton of milk spill all over the trunk. It took me months to get rid of that smell, I am confident that if I had this mat I would have just taken it out of the trunk and hosed it down.
