Adhesives and Adhesive Products
Used to create bonds, adhesives are employed in various aspects of medical device manufacturing. Primary functions of adhesives include use in assembly tasks to join components of an end device or as a means of attaching a wound-care or other product to a patient. For skin-contact applications, critical factors to consider may be biocompatibility, fluid resistance, shelf life, adhesion, tack, and shear of the adhesive. Adhesives can be manufactured from such materials as acrylics, polyesters, silicones, and urethanes, and may be set using light-, moisture-, and UV-curing methods, among others.
Cleanrooms and Environmental Control
Cleanrooms are highly purified and regulated areas reserved for the manufacture of contaminant-free medical products. Typically rated from Class 100,000 down to Class 10, cleanrooms designated for the manufacture of Class I, II, or III devices require strict temperature, humidity, and other environmental controls. Mechanisms such as sensors, exhaust systems, and particle-control equipment assist in maintaining a clean environment. Special garments and gloves are also required for employees working in a cleanroom environment in order to avoid contamination.
Hardware and accessories serve a wide variety of functions in medical applications. Couplings and fasteners, for example, assist in forming necessary connections while handles and knobs allow for user interaction and casters help to make a piece of equipment mobile. Many such products are offered in stock or standard versions; however, some suppliers can customize components to accommodate application-specific requirements.
Computing and Software
Computers and associated hardware, including power systems, input devices, data-storage devices, and monitors, contribute to smooth plant operations. They can also be incorporated into medical equipment as part of a larger system. Medical device software enables manufacturers to efficiently manage their operations and develop medical products. Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software are essential elements in the product development cycle. Process-control, QA/QC, validation, and verification software allow OEMs to ensure that safe, effective medical devices are produced in compliance with FDA and other regulatory standards.
Medical device manufacturers can't be expected to know everything; sometimes they can benefit from the niche expertise of a medical device consultant. Medical device consultants specialize in topics ranging from reimbursement to licensing and medical device–related legal issues. Consultants for medical device companies can also perform audits and inspections or issue ISO certification. Risk-management consultants and market research specialists can assess whether a device is viable in the marketplace and worth the cost and effort while translation consultants can assist with global expansion of a company or product.
Contract Manufacturing Services
Depending on the company, a contract manufacturer can custom fabricate one component of an end product or take an entire medical device from concept through to distribution. Companies may specialize in one service area, such as molding, machining, or assembly, or may provide full-contract manufacturing services that can encompass R&D, design, and engineering assistance; prototyping; and full-scale production. Criteria to consider when selecting a contract manufacturer may include ISO 13485 certification, CGMP compliance, and cleanroom capabilities.
Electronic Components
Medical electronics are the components responsible for an end product's functionality. Printed circuit boards (PCBs), sensors, and embedded systems are at the core of advancing medical technologies. Many electronic components continue to accommodate the shrinking sizes of medical devices through lower power consumption coupled with increased functionality in a smaller package size. Common electronic components also include cables, connectors, switches, and power supplies.
Filters and IV Products
In the medical device industry, filtration eliminates unwanted substances in air, gasses, or fluids from coming in contact with a patient. Filters are commonly associated with intravenous (IV) components and are engineered from a variety of materials, including plastics and ceramics. Because many medical devices and medications are delivered intravenously, catheters are fabricated from a variety of materials for applications ranging from angioplasty to urology. Connectors, couplings, cannulae, luers, and stopcocks are also critical components employed in delivery systems.
IVD companies need access not only to the latest developments in biochemistry and genomics but also to the latest products in electronics and robotics, software and telecommunications, plastics molding and packaging, and a great many other fields. They also are not afraid to think about their businesses as global enterprises, to explore the potential of their intellectual properties in extraclinical applications, or to enter into strategic relationships that can help advance company goals. For all of the hard-pressed innovators in the IVD industry, there is a wide variety of supplier companies that can help. Various IVD supplier companies have specialized interests in providing the products and services that IVD manufacturers need to get their products to market in a timely fashion, including biochemicals and chemical reagents, filters, membranes, and bioseparation equipment, assay system components, tools for molecular diagnostics, electronic and mechanical components and software, packaging and labeling materials and components, manufacturing equipment and supplies, contract manufacturing, and consulting services.
Manufacturing Equipment
A diverse array of equipment is necessary to process metal, plastic, and ceramic medical parts. Various manufacturing systems are needed to heat, cool, laminate, cure, drill, grind, cut, machine, or weld the materials, components, or completed medical devices according to specification. Sensors, meters, and calibration equipment, on the other hand, aid in process control to ensure products are manufactured to exact standards. Automated equipment such as robots, conveyors, dispensers, and assembly systems can reduce time and remove operator variability from the manufacturing process.
Metals, plastics, ceramics, textiles, and other materials are the building blocks of medical products, and are selected for an application based on their properties and performance characteristics. Polyethylenes, polystyrenes, and polypropylenes are commodity thermoplastics, while polycarbonates, acrylics, PET, ABS, and PEEK are considered engineered thermoplastics. Elastomers are synthetic rubber-like polymers featuring viscoelastic properties. Thermosets, such as silicone or rubber, offer similar elasticity and properties, but are composed of organic compounds and cannot be reshaped after the curing process. Metals and alloys often offer strength, durability, conductivity, and heat resistance.
Molding Services and Equipment
Single- and multishot molding operations, enabled by custom tooling, can yield both simple and complex medical device components from a range of materials. Molds vary from single to multicavity, and are specially made to handle materials such as thermoplastics, rubber, and metals. Contract molders can typically assist with every step of the process, from mold design through to production and shipping. Some molders may specialize in a particular molding operation, such as micromolding, injection molding, rotomolding, insert molding, overmolding, or blow molding; however, others have core competencies in multiple molding processes. Related molding equipment is also available for OEMs that mold products in-house.
Motors and Motion Control
Motors and motion control components of various shapes and sizes enable precise movements of medical products. Various ac, brush and brushless dc, gear, servo, and stepper motors are incorporated into applications ranging from handheld surgical tools to full-scale imaging systems. Factors such as torque, efficiency, speed, and power consumption often influence motor selection. Assisting in precision motion control are actuators, brakes, drive systems, encoders, positioning systems, and vibration-isolation components.
Packaging and Sterilization
Packaging and sterilization are instrumental in the production of a safe, effective, and regulatory-compliant end device. Sterilization methods include ethylene oxide (EtO), autoclave, gamma irradiation, or electron beam (E-beam). Proper packaging is critical in maintaining product integrity. Facilitating this goal is the use of packaging equipment and services for bagging, blister packaging, form-fill-sealing, thermoforming, sealing, vacuum forming, and wrapping. Clamshells, moisture-barrier packaging, cases, films and foils, pouches, trays, and other packaging materials and products are also supplied for medical use.
Printing, Labeling, and Bar Coding
Whether printing information on a medical device or its packaging, proper equipment, services, and supplies suitable for medical use are required. Hot-stamping, laser marking, pad-printing, screen-printing, and ink-jet printing can contribute to completion of this step. Labeling equipment can apply the correct date, inspection, or verification information onto the products. Tamper-evident, self-adhesive, laminated, and sequentially numbered labels help to achieve this goal as well. Bar coding equipment and supplies, including scanners, printers, encoders, and labels, facilitate delivery and traceability.
Pumps and Valves
Offered in either custom or standard versions, pumps and valves used in medical devices regulate dispensing and flow rates of air, liquids, and gases. Some medical devices use vacuum pumps, centrifugal pumps, and compressor pumps to help deliver air and fluids by displacing volume using physical or mechanical action. Diaphragm pumps, metering pumps, and peristaltic pumps are also common flow-control components used in medical device applications. Check valves, solenoid valves, ball valves, and control valves open, close, or partially obstruct passageways.
R&D and Design Services
Research and development (R&D) and design services play an essential role in the medical device development cycle. Contract R&D and design services may encompass market and voice-of-customer research, industrial and mechanical design, prototyping, design for manufacturability, and process design and development to optimize operations. Engineering firms, on the other hand, can provide expert assistance with mechanical and electrical engineering, especially in regards to electrical assemblies and subassemblies.
Surface Treatment
Medical devices are made from a variety of materials that offer specific properties; however, modifications to a device's surface are often required to alter or enhance the functionality of the product for a particular application. Surface-treatment equipment is used to coat, etch, polish, deburr, or clean parts, as well as to prepare or activate a product's surface for the addition of a coating. Coatings are frequently employed to protect end use devices or components, as is the case with antimicrobial and chemical-resistant versions. They can also provide properties to make a medical device lubricious, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or antithrombogenic. Many of these services and treatments can also be outsourced.
Testing, Metrology, and Inspection
Rigorous testing, metrology, and inspection processes must be conducted to ensure the safety and efficacy of a medical product, as well as to comply with stringent regulatory standards. Contract laboratories can perform such services as sterility, product safety, package, microbiological, EMC, materials, and biocompatibility testing, in addition to providing validation, surface analysis, and clinical trials. Instead of outsourcing, OEMs can also verify product or part integrity in-house using various measurement instruments, inspection and vision systems, and testing equipment to evaluate torque, thickness, impact resistance, and seal strength.
Tubing and Extrusion
Suitable for use in catheter, anesthesia, and IV applications, among others, medical-grade tubing is fabricated from a range of materials that include such plastics as PEEK, polyimides, fluoroplastics, and silicones, and metals such as stainless steel, for example. Metal tubing is formed through a drawing process while the more-prevalent plastic tubing is typically extruded. Tubing can be offered in single- and multilumen designs; be braided or reinforced; feature thin walls and tight tolerances; and contain additives that enhance properties such as radiopacity. Coiling, crimping, cutting, extruding, and tipping systems can assist in tube processing.

Evolution and Immunity: Same Story?
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.

Don't panic. That's the message touted by St. Mary's County business and government leaders developing strategies to mediate a range of "what ifs" created by Congress' failure to establish a budget, and by the threat of massive federal budget cuts, called sequestration.
There's a growing sense that some congressional leaders are willing to let the deep, automatic budget cuts, the prospect of which were originally intended to make Congress work harder to find a solution, soon become reality. And the nation's defense budget would be hit hard, with measurable effects nationwide, and trickling down to communities, like St. Mary's, that are dependent on the military.
"I don't want to minimize the situation," said Bill Scarafia, president and CEO of the St. Mary's County Chamber of Commerce, "but, there is a possibility sequestration will not happen."
Sequestration will take effect in three weeks — March 1 — if Congress does not take alternative action. A continuing resolution, which has allowed government agencies to continue functioning until Congress develops a budget, will expire March 27.
Defense contractors, local government officials and leaders at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, "we are all communicating," Scarafia said. "People are working at every level to ensure the Navy can accomplish their mission with as little disruption to the community and employees as possible."
The commander of Naval Air Systems Command sent an email to its employees earlier this week, explaining that fiscal constraints could lead to a $3.5 billion cut from its budget in fiscal year 2013. The Department of Defense and the Chief of Naval Operations have asked commands to develop plans to mitigate the impact of sequestration and other funding reductions.
To reduce spending as quickly as possible, the email said, NAVAIR has enacted a hiring freeze, with few exceptions, as well as reduced travel, training and supply purchases. Civilian employees also face potential furloughs, starting in mid-April, of one day a week for up to 22 weeks. Spending reductions also are planned for contracts, to include contractor employees. "Obviously, this is causing angst in the contractor and civil service community," said St. Mary's County Commissioner Todd Morgan (R). "Everybody is affected by this at the end of the day.
"What happens to property values in the long term? How do we as commissioners attempt to execute a budget with a series of unknowns?" he asked. "We're going to have to take a very pragmatic approach about it."
Morgan said federal, state and local governments, as well as private industry, have to work together. As for the community, he said, "Let's just try to be calm as we can and understand a lot of the moving pieces are obviously going to be spurred by emotion and spurred by rumor."
In the meantime, he and his colleagues have decisions to make for the county to build roads, improve access to health care and keep children safe. "I'm not giving up on FDR Boulevard. I have to worry about schools, the hospital, the Health Enterprise Zone and the north end of the county. We just can't sit there and say the sky is falling," Morgan said.
"St. Mary's really needs to count its blessings," said Steve Anderson, county director of economic and community development. "They've got one hell of a good government."
The county is putting together a comprehensive strategy, he said. "Commissioners are girding their loins," Anderson said. "They're mentally prepared and emotionally up to the task."
The county has a surplus fund that can help make up for what's lost in income taxes to keep services going and a long-range plan to recruit new businesses and lessen dependence on federal funds, Anderson said.
Right now, he said, he's courting three companies, two specializing in manufacturing and the other in avionics. It's a deal that could mean "700 new jobs." Anderson said he couldn't reveal the company names because they're still in negotiations, but, if all goes well, those new businesses would attract other companies to support the work.
Sequestration is a looming threat, Anderson said, "but, I don't think it will be as severe as some are predicting."

Designing and Building Hurricane-Resistant Homes
Mercedes Homes and its partners set out to create and construct a truly hurricane-resistant house.
June 08, 2006
This article originally appeared in the Hurricane Season 2006 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
Beginning in 2001, the concrete wall system, dubbed the Solid-Wall-System (SWS) by the builder, was rigorously examined and engineered by researchers from the University of Florida's Program for Resource Efficient Communities and Steven Winter Associates, Incorporated (SWA), using funding provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The results of those studies were impressive, showing a marked potential performance improvement during windstorm events, as compared to the regionally standard CMU walls. In 2001 Mercedes Homes started implementing the SWS as a standard offering. By the spring of 2004, Mercedes had built cast-in-place concrete walls on more than 2,000 Florida homes; by October 2005, that number had grown to nearly 4,000.
The 2004 hurricane season provided an extensive real-world test for the concrete houses when a record number of tropical storms pounded Florida and the Southeast. In evaluating the aftermath, SWA and University of Florida researchers found that the concrete homes performed exceptionally well in resisting hurricane force winds, including hurricane-induced uplift and lateral loads; these walls even helped protect the homes from wind-blown debris. What became evident, however, was that most of the damage to buildings throughout the region resulted not from catastrophic structural failures, but from wind-driven rain intrusion.
Combining the original structurally based engineering research with the lessons learned from the 2004 hurricane season,Mercedes Homes and its partners set out to design and build a truly hurricane- resistant house.The prototype was completed in early 2005 at Huntington Lakes,a Mercedes Homes Community in Rockledge, Florida.This house combines a number of advanced building technologies to offer homeowners three levels of hurricane protection: superior structural strength;greater resistance to wind-driven rain; and improved poststorm recovery. In addition to hurricane "hardness,"the prototype has several features that increase energy efficiency.These include insulated low-e windows; an air handler located in conditioned space (now a standard Mercedes practice with its new plans); a 13- SEER heat pump; and Energy Star appliances.This combination of features proves that builders can construct costeffective, energy-efficient,hurricane-resistant homes—providing true value and security to their customers.
Structural Protection
The structural superiority of the new Mercedes models comes primarily from the cast-in-place concrete wall system— the SWS.Typical residential construction in much of Florida consists of CMU walls for single-story homes.Although CMU construction is stronger and more durable than standard frame construction, CMU-constructed homes, when subjected to a tropical storm, are still susceptible to water intrusion, lateral and uplift wind load failure, and penetration damage caused by wind-driven debris ("missiles").
The SWS homes are constructed using 3,500 psi concrete placed in modular aluminum forms to create the 6-inch walls. The concrete encloses a steel reinforcing cage of 6 inch x 6 inch roadmesh combined with vertical reinforcing bars placed at 4-ft intervals.The cage is specifically designed to evenly distribute direct wind, lateral, and point loading from missile impact across the wall surfaces to minimize point stresses, which can lead to failure.The cage connects to steel in the concrete slab, and the roof trusses are held by wet-set tie-downs (or hurricane straps) embedded every two feet in the concrete as the walls are poured. The steel-reinforced concrete wall assembly acts as a monolithic composite system with superior resistance to hurricane-induced forces.Typical wind speeds for a Category Five tropical storm range up to 155 mph, with wind-borne debris traveling well upward of 100 mph. Engineering analysis and destructive testing show that the cast-in-place system can withstand missiles fired at up to 200 mph.
Structural strength is not the only advantage of the cast-in-place system. Concrete walls have high thermal mass, reducing energy transfer between interior and exterior surfaces.This in turn reduces the homeowner's energy bills. The continuously poured system minimizes interior temperature fluctuations and drafts and reduces noise transmission. Rigid foam insulation is laminated directly to the interior surface of the concrete before the roof trusses and interior partitions are installed.This substantially simplifies the construction process and ensures a continuous insulation layer with no breaks or gaps.
Another advantage of concrete is that it inherently resists mold, termites, and rot, because it contains no organic matter. Concrete may also be inherently waterproof, depending on its ultimate strength; 5,000 psi is virtually waterproof, while 3,500 psi is water resistant. For these homes, the exterior finish coatings in combination with the 3,500 psi concrete provide complete waterproofing. The moisture that can enter CMU walls at joints, especially when the joints are deformed by structural load, is eliminated in the monolithic system, as is the potential for water storage within the hollow CMU cavities. And the houses are safer from fire as well as water; with their 6- inch solid concrete walls, they have up to a three-hour Class A fire rating.
Wind-Driven Rain Protection
Wind-driven rain can enter the home at vulnerable points from foundation to roof. Water intrusion at ground level can be mitigated by creating shallow indentations or recessed seats in the foundation slab to prevent rain from being driven or sucked into the home under the exterior doors and walls. The recessed seats work well in conjunction with out-swing entry doors—a somewhat unconventional but practical solution to a common source of damage. In the aftermath of the 2004 storm season, researchers found that high wind forces on in-swing entry doors allowed considerable water to enter the home, because the weatherstripping gaskets rely on pressure in the opposite direction. Complete blow-in failure of an in-swing door during gnificant water damage, and even tohurricane- force winds can result in si changes in internal pressure that contribute to roof uplift and significant structural damage. Following Hurricane Wilma in October 2005, Mercedes found that owners who had opted for in-swing doors, rather than the now-standard out-swing configuration, suffered more instances of damage. As a final protection for openings, the builder offers removable hurricane shutters as an option to all home buyers.
Exterior wall surfaces are protected with elastomeric sealant at form joints and at the concrete form snap-tie locations. Although concrete is poured continuously across multiple forms, the change in texture at vertical form joints and tie connections creates a vulnerability to water infiltration.Applying sealant to these form joints is a simple and effective way to prevent damage.A continuous drainage plane covers roof trusses on gable ends to prevent sheeting water from entering the building assembly at the truss-to-wall transition. In addition to the house wrap that is typically installed over the vertical wall sheathing, a separate building-paperbacked wire mesh is installed over the house wrap before the stucco finish is applied. This creates a foolproof drainage plane and makes for proper stucco adhesion.Wall surfaces are finished with a high-performance acrylic coating, which is capable of flexure and which bridges small gaps, to prevent the exterior walls from absorbing water during sustained heavy rainstorms.
At the roof level, researchers recommended several strategies to protect against water intrusion.A peel-and-stick underlayment was adhered directly to the roof decking beneath the shingles to create a secondary roof drainage plane. This provides backup protection in case of lost or damaged shingles—a common casualty of tropical storms. And the envelope often fails when water sheeting off the roof spills down the fascia board and is driven by wind or surface tension into the soffit vent openings.To prevent this from happening, a redesigned fascia extends 1 inch below the soffit to form a drip edge, directing water down and away. A new perforated soffit board product with recessed rather than surface openings limits water intrusion while encouraging greater air circulation— and faster drying—within the eave assembly.A simple change to baffled ridge and roof vents was also used to prevent water form entering the structure. Typical roof vents are not configured to prevent the entry of horizontal rain, while the baffled designs do just that (see Figures 1 and 2).
Poststorm Recovery
Most of the losses from the 2004 hurricane season resulted from water intrusion.When rain or moisture wets parts of the wall or floor assembly, mold can grow indoors undetected for many months, compromising indoor air quality and causing significant long-term damage to the home.Water damage and mold growth become more severe when power outages prevent the homeowner from drying out the home quickly following a storm.
To aid in poststorm recovery, a natural gas-fueled generator is offered as an option to home buyers throughout the Florida market. (The natural gas grid tends to be far more robust than the electrical grid, as virtually all the natural gas infrastructure is below grade. Even if electrical power lines are below grade, transfer stations and transformers often are not.) The unit allows homeowners to use shopvacs, fans, and dryers during poststorm recovery when power outages are common, greatly reducing the risk of mold growth and long-term damage. Mercedes Homes also offers a generatorready electrical service panel that can be easily connected to a portable generator.Even if the homeowner cannot initially afford to buy a natural gas generator, each home is now prewired and equipped for a generator to be installed at a later date, as needed.
To help homeowners to remove moisture if water entry occurs, the houses are built with nonorganic finish materials. Mold grows particularly quickly on paper, adhesives, and other organic matter. The storm-resistant prototype utilizes a new paperless drywall product offered by Georgia Pacific.This product uses a glass-reinforcing mat facing over gypsum; it resists mold growth better than traditional paper-faced products.Removing damaged drywall, and the mold it supports, was one of the most common storm-related repairs faced by homeowners following the '04 hurricanes.
Major Improvements, Minor Damage
The concrete SWS homes are now standard in several Mercedes Homes divisions in central Florida. Although SWS is incrementally more expensive than the CMU construction it replaces, the benefits to the homeowners and to the builder—production time for the walls is reduced from five days to two—easily outweigh the costs.The now-standard water intrusion and storm recovery measures add about $2,200 to the cost of the homes, and the upgrade options (generator and shutters) add another $8,000.
By the time Hurricane Wilma scored a near-direct hit on the Melbourne area in October, Mercedes had completed and sold 343 new homes built using the improved specifications. In only 16 of these homes did the owners report any damage— and all of the damage was minor. Problems included water intrusion from two in-swing front doors, which were installed at the owner's request, a ridge vent leak where the old design was inadvertently used, and shingle damage where no leak was reported. SWA and Mercedes continue to research and develop advanced hurricane-resistant housing solutions including two-story cast-in-place wall systems, as well as performance testing of more conventional building assemblies. With ongoing improvements, Mercedes expects to see even less damage, and more happy homeowners, in the future.

A 2-year-old girl died of her injuries after a two-car-crash near Cobb Island last week.
Maryland State Police reported that at 12:47 p.m. Thursday, a 2000 dark red Mercury Sable driven by Amanda Marie Bradshaw, 24, of Cobb Island was traveling west on Rock Point Road when Bradshaw lost control of her car, skidded over the center line and struck a 2010 green Toyota Camry that was traveling east. The Camry was driven by Connie Miller, 72, of Cobb Island.
Two children, ages 1 and 2, in Bradshaw's car were injured. The 2-year-old girl was taken by helicopter to National Children's Medical Center in Washington, D.C., with life-threatening injuries. MSP Sgt. Krystle Rossignol said Tuesday that the girl later died due to head trauma from the collision.
The 1-year-old girl and Bradshaw were sent by helicopter to Washington Hospital Center in the District with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.
The driver of the Camry was taken to Civista Medical Center in La Plata with injuries that were not life-threatening. The passenger in her car, Roger Alan Miller, 72, of Cobb Island was treated and released at the scene.
The crash is still under investigation.
Anyone who might have witnessed the crash is asked to call the MSP crash team at 301-392-1231.

LGS + P1 "Super Seeing" mode

1.0 Introduction
We have recently commissioned a new observing mode for Altair LGS known as LGS+P1. In place of using a nearby tip-tilt focus (TTF) NGS, we have added the option of using a peripheral wavefront sensor (PWFS1 or P1) for the NGS TTF measurement. This mode does not provide diffraction-limited resolution, but instead gives "super-seeing" by reducing the natural seeing PSF FWHM by a factor of 2-3. The major benefit of this seeing-improver mode is that it increases the LGS sky coverage to almost 100%, providing a significant level of PSF correction for a wide variety of applications.
To enable LGS+P1, the P1 wavefront sensor was upgraded, replacing the 6 x 6 lenslet array with a 2 x 2 array, thus increasing its sensitivity. A narrow band (FWHM = 10 nm) notch filter was installed to block out the Rayleigh backscatter for the laser propagation, while still allowing the standard set of filters to be used.
Currently LGS+P1 has been commissioned with NIRI in f/14 and f/32 configurations and with NIFS. The mode is still undergoing testing with GNIRS. It is important to know that significant flexure issues remain (see section 3.0 below) which limit the use of this mode on targets that are not visible during acquisition and also drastically limit the amount of time that a target can remain in a spectroscopic slit. We are currently working to resolve these issues.
2.0 Performance
2.1 On-Axis Performance
The performance on-axis will improve the image quality by a factor of 2-3 over the natural seeing. We have tested this in a small variety of seeing conditions, as shown below.
Fig. 1: Delivered image FHWM for both NIRI f/14 and f/32 exposures for a range of natural seeing conditions.
Fig. 1 shows the LGS+P1 mode performance measured from individual exposures for two nights worth of test data taken under a range seeing conditions for both NIRI f/14 (texp = 30 sec) and f/32 (texp = 10 sec) configurations. These preliminary results indicate that use of LGS+P1 improves the "effective seeing" from IQ70 to IQ20. The bottom panel illustrates that K'-band correction is better than H and J. More data are required to assess the effective IQ benefits for excellent seeing cases. Note that for all these data the P1 guide star (using the R filter) was ~ 5'-6' from the field center.
2.2 Field-of-View PSF Variability
Fig. 2: NIRI F/14 images of the central region of NGC 2419 for seeing-limited P1 guiding (top) and LGS+P1 (bottom) for (left-to-right) J, H, and K' bands. Each image is the co-added sum of four 30sec exposures.
Fig. 2 compares a sequence of seeing-limited images with P1 guiding (i.e. non-LGS native seeing) to corresponding LGS+P1 images showing the decrease in the mean FWHM across the images for three wavebands. In f/14 mode the FoV is 51.2" and the PSF variability, as measured by the FWHM dispersion, across the field is ~ 6% for both seeing-limited and corrected images. For these data the P1 guide star was ~ 5.6' from the field center. For the corrected data, the Altair estimated V-band seeing was 0.40", 0.40" and 0.46" when the J, H and K images were taken, respectively.
2.3 Encircled Energy (NIFS)
Fig. 3 shows the encircled energy fraction as a function of radius in the NIFS PSF for different guide modes. These are empirical measurements, taken under similarly good seeing condition. The 'NGS' case used a bright (R~10) on-axis guide star. The 'LGS' case used a moderately bright on-axis tip/tilt star (R~14), and the 'LGS-P1' case used an R~13.3 guide star some 6 arcminutes off-axis. The 'No AO' case used an R~10.7 guide star with the 'P2' guider. Table 1 provides a summary of the PSF parameters and natural seeing conditions for the different observations.
| No AO
|PSF FWHM (diameter):
| 0.13"
| 0.30"
|50% encircled energy radius:
|80% encircled energy radius:
|Energy fraction within NIFS spaxel:

Table 1: Parameters of K-band NIFS PSFs shown in Fig.3, giving the empirical Full Width at Half Maximum (not from a model fit); the 50% and 80% encircled energy radii; the fraction of energy falling in a circle of equivalent area to a single NIFS spaxel (0.103" x 0.042"); and the optical (approximately V-band) seeing conditions during the observation.
Figure 3: NIFS PSF encircled energy for various guide configurations."NGS" is classic natural guide star AO with a bright on-axis star. This should give the best AO correction. "LGS" uses a moderately bright (R~14) on-axis star for tip/tilt and focus corrections, and the on-axis laser guide star (LGS). "LGS-P1" uses the LGS on-axis to correct high-order terms, and an R~13.3 guide star on the peripheral wave-front sensor some 6 arcminutes off-axis. "No AO" is for a similar peripheral guide star, but with no on-axis laser correction. Table 1 provides the PSF metrics.
2.4 Sky Coverage
The limiting magnitude of P1 is R ~ 14 so that the guide star limit is brighter than for the conventional LGS mode, but this is more than offset by P1's much larger patrol field. Fig. 4 shows the predicted sky coverage as a function of galactic latitude for the LGS+P1 configuration (red) compared with the conventional LGS mode (black).
Fig. 4: Comparison of estimated sky coverage for LGS+P1 (red) compared with conventional LGS (black). Note that sky coverage refers to the percentage of sky with guide stars above elevation 40 at Gemini North.
3.0 Current Instrument Testing Status
It is expected that LGS+P1 mode will be used with the NIR instrument suite at Gemini North which comprises NIRI, NIFS and GNIRS. Note that for all instruments SNR estimates can be obtained by using the non-AO Integration Time Calculator (ITC) assuming an IQ = 20% and CC=50% (the CC conditions for Laser use). There are still a significant number of software modifications needed to reach operational efficiency. We will update this section as these issues are addressed.
Currently, the issue with the greatest impact to science is that significant flexure is seen between the P1 tip/tilt sensor and the various science cameras. This flexure has been measured to be of order 0.4 arcsec per 30 minutes with NIRI, which is similar to the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the point spread function (PSF). The implications of the current flexure is that slit spectroscopy and blind offsetting are limited by this magnitude of flexure. Thus, for spectroscopy we require that a continuum source be visible (S/N > 1 per spectral element) somewhere in the science frame for typical exposure times (~15 minutes). In addition, we cannot support blind offsetting (i.e. invisible targets) at this time, since we have no way to independently check if the target has moved out of the science beam nor is the P1 probe mapping reliable for large offsets at this time. This limitation is one of our highest priority issues, so we will post an update here when a suitable flexure model has been implemented. However, since this is a work in progress, part of the shared risk nature of this mode includes the possiblity that we may not be able to implement the flexure model, or the magnitude of flexure may be larger or more difficult to correct than expected. In addition, this flexure may significantly complicate reduction as there may be a ~0.2 arcsec image motion every 15 minutes.
Operational efficiency is currently significantly lower than typical LGS. This is because there is signficant operational software work to be done to reduce acquisition times to the current typical LGS overheads. We expect that this work will be completed before the start of 2012B, however, there is the risk that overheads may be larger than expected, which is part of the nature of the shared risk of the mode. Currently, we ask that PIs use the typical LGS overheads listed elsewhere, but be aware that fewer targets or less on-source time may be a reality in 2012B. Proposals with scientifically viable contingencies will have an advantage in the case that operational efficiency is still reduced when the semester starts.
To estimate exposure times and feasiblity of targets (i.e. that they are visible in the science instrument), we ask that PIs use the Integration Time Calculator (ITC) for the instrument of interest in non-AO mode assuming IQ=20%, CC=50% conditions. Very roughly, the ITC suggests that for broadband point source imaging, there must be a target in the field with magnitude 22 or brighter to satisfy the flexure requirements (S/N > 5 in a typical exposure of a few minutes). For spectroscopy, the limits are about magnitude 20 (S/N > 1 per continuum spectral element). For extended sources or narrow-band emission lines, PIs should estimate target viability by consulting the ITC directly to ensure that the observer can acquire the target (or another bright target in the same slit for GNIRS) by direct imaging and that the spectra are visible in each exposure so that any movement out of the slit (for GNIRS) or within the IFU (for NIFS) can be tracked.
LGS+P1 has been tested for f/14 and f/32 in the J, H and K bands. It will be available for use in adaptive optics imaging mode as described in the NIRI imaging pages (http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/instruments/niri/imaging.)
The NIFS top-level spectroscopy page (http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/instruments/nifs/ifu-spectroscopy) gives information on the spectral and guiding properties. This table is reproduced below and for use with LGS+P1 use the PWFS2 patrol field and limiting guide star magnitude (highlighted). The highlighted region of the spectral properties indicate the grating modes which need to be commissioned. As commissioning progresses, this table will be updated.
GNIRS has not yet been commissioned with the LGS+P1 mode. This mode will be available for spectroscopy using the long and short cameras in cross-dispersed and long-slit modes and also for imaging for X – K bands. The attached table shows the GNIRS modes and commissioning and performance information will be added when available.
4.0 OT visualization
To help visualize the geometry of the field, we include this example image from the Observing Tool. In the image, the laser guide star appears in the center of the globular cluser and the P1 tip/tilt/focus star is towards the bottom of the image, about 7 arcminutes from the science target. The red circle shows the Altair patrol field used for traditional (STRAP) LGS.
5.0 Contact

The Washington, D.C., region's bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics could help speed up key projects in Montgomery County like the Purple Line, especially if the area wins the bid, business leaders say.
While officials have been informally working on a bid for more than a year, Greater Washington Sports Alliance President Robert Sweeney announced this week the formation of DC 2024, the nonprofit group that is spearheading the bid. If successful, Washington would be the first U.S. region to host the Summer Games since Atlanta in 1996.
"It would be a major undertaking for the region, but it's an exciting opportunity," said Gigi Godwin, president and CEO of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. "It would be a great opportunity for us to boost our hospitality sector and infrastructure."
Washington was one of 35 U.S. cities to receive a letter from the U.S. Olympic Committee to gauge interest, but that committee hasn't decided for certain it will bid for the games. For the 2012 Summer Olympics, which the local area bid on, the U.S. candidate, New York, finished fourth. The International Olympic Committee is slated to make a choice for the 2024 event by 2017.
Officials from Los Angeles, which hosted the 1984 Olympics, Philadelphia, San Diego and Tulsa, Okla., have expressed interest in submitting 2024 bids. Paris and Rome could be among the international competitors.
If the area won the bid, it would need to build an official Olympic Stadium, which could be conceivably then be used by teams such as the NFL's Washington Redskins. Potomac resident Daniel Snyder, owner of the team, in a statement pledged his support.
"We look forward to assisting the Washington Olympic Committee in presenting the nation's capital and fabulous surrounding region to the Olympic sporting world," Snyder said. "We are fortunate to have most of the venues needed in an internationally recognized city that is accustomed to staging high-profile events."
Fellow Potomac resident Ted Leonsis, owner of the Washington Capitals and Wizards, also pledged support of the bid on his blog.
In the 2012 bid, the Washington-Baltimore coalition's proposal called for FedEx Field in Landover to host some soccer matches, while the canoe competition would occur in Western Maryland. Dormitories at the University of Maryland, College Park would house athletes, while Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington would get various events.
A new wrinkle would not just be the Purple Line, the east-west connection between Bethesda and Prince George's County that is slated to be built by 2020, but the Shady Grove Arena. That arena is proposed near the Shady Grove Metro Station in Rockville at a cost of between $40 million and $50 million.
The 2012 Olympics would have cost about $2 billion to develop and operate, but the economic impact for the Maryland-D.C. region would have been $5.3 billion, according to a report by economists Stephen Fuller of George Mason University and Richard Clinch of the University of Baltimore.
Maryland and the Washington region would have also benefitted from an "enhanced world class image as a good place to live and do business," Fuller and Clinch said. "Furthermore, the legacy of the Olympic Games will provide long lasting benefits to the area's residents in the form of new and improved world class athletic facilities, enhanced transportation facilities and other infrastructure, and renewed community spirit and inter-regional cooperation."
Companies such as Bethesda hotelier Marriott International and Giant Food of Landover lent financial support for the 2012 bid.
The price tag for the 2024 event would likely be more than $3.5 billion, according to DC 2024.

Good times, great park and some serious ripping went down in Malmo. In the end, Cody Lockwood took home some loot with his first ever win.
SF, Lower Bobs, Malmo and Italy, all tossed in the same shaker. Cheers!
The Big Dog barrels through Europe with a hot crew. No transition untouched, no keg untapped.
SF waited decades for a proper park and Potrero keeps delivering the goods. Here's a snapshot of a ripping scene that is burning bright every day.
Beers and babes on the beach in Italy. Throw Grant in the mix going full throttle and all is well in the world. Cheers Vans, keep 'em coming.
After a raging party at the House of Vans NYC, this crew of road dogs did a cross-country trip back to SF. What a ride! Featuring Frank Gerwer, Andy Roy, Robbie Russo, Sean Gutierrez, Tony Miorana, Pat Mclain, and Bad Shit.
Heavy mission in the truck with Rowan, Darkness & Gut from SC to LA. Reynolds ripped it and then we had plenty of time to sip it.
Here's one of the heaviest vert sessions to take place in recent memory, including rippers from three generations: Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Rune Glifberg, Lincoln Ueda, Mike Frazier, Chris Russell, and many others.
We couldn't squeeze all the juice into just two parts, so what you see in this Yardsale is hardly throwaway. Maximum rippitude.
The barge continues as concrete crumbles in their wake. Greyson is an absolute monster.
Park sharks, parking lots, and bowl trolling. The OJ squad hit the road and Big Dog captured the action.
When shit hits the fan, P-Stone is there to capture the action with beer in hand. This is a heavy edit. Buckle up.
There is only one CK1. Check out P-Stone's Re-Bru of the best of Cory from 2014. This will make your day, we guarantee it.
This last cookie features some sick scraps with Nuge, Trujillo, Baca, Ishod, and more from all over the map. Cheers to another epic year on the road! -P-Stone

A lot of big stacks in 2014. Skateboarding hurts bad when you take hits like these. -P-Stone
Good hospitality and ripping from GT and the crew in the ATL. -P-Stone
The Maka's drove on down to Tampa with a big crew of rippers. Koston, Ishod, GT, CK1, Brock and a whole slew of others. -P-Stone
It was one of the heaviest road crews of all time. And with the hardcore edits finished, here's some of the more loose and fun outtakes. What a trip, thanks everyone.
"Street, we do that too-top rope parachute nightmare." —Jake Phelps
"Parking lot rock, wallies, oh what fun!" —Jake Phelps
Eerily reminiscent of Carbondale 10 years later, the song remains the same. Pedro Barros took 1st in bowl and Couch wore no shoes. Algorta BOWL-A-RAMA and P-Stone were there.
"Montana is the last of the big dogs. Ozar on high." –Jake Phelps
It starts with an epic mini ramp session, then makes its way to some tall 'crete, and before you know it CK1 is skating vert, padless. There is no way you won't go skate after watching this...
Orcas Island is the first stop. Grant, Cory, Elijah, Vincent, Raven, Ronnie, Raney, and company turn up big time.
P-Stone hit the great Northwest with an all-star cast led by local tour guide Cory Kennedy. Episodes start next week.
These Copenhagen sessions are too heavy. The bowl gets brutalized before Ronnie shuts down a padless vertical assault. Thank you Denmark...
This session is fucked. Grant, Greyson, Raven, Raney, and company go absolutely ballistic inside Copenhagen's giant wooden roller coaster.
End of the world... and there's a 10 stair in Portugal! Been there, skated it. Check out this 5-0 shove it out down a round rail. Shit! Thanx kids.
—Jake Phelps.
While the world watches Rio we were already there. Skated it. Hella miles blood.
Front loaded four gnar Brazilians, Greyson, Weird Al, Raney, the Thrasher crew and mega miles. Well, it's not for the meek. Road dogs rule the wasteland bro. See ya next year, RTMF.
Preston has done a lot of miles with a lot of skate legends but this trip ranks up there as one of the true greats. Here's a last blast of outtakes and random footage.
Cape Town was the last spot and the crew rolled through, got some good shit, and then headed home. We fucking made it!
Out of the Valley and right into an epic backyard pool. Raney, Raven, Ronnie, Cory, and Grant ripped this gem.
The camp gave us refuge for the night and once the goats got off the ramp the crew went to work.
This is one of the craziest ditch sessions we've ever seen. So sick. The crew handled it in the heat and then went off to the land of a thousand valleys for more skating and a BBQ.
Cory Kennedy, Grant, Ronnie, Raven, and Raney together in the wild of South Africa? WOW. The crew kicks things off in Johannesburg before spending the night in Kimberley.
A full week of edits from one trip? With this crew, you're damn right: Cory Kennedy, Grant Taylor, Raven Tershy, Raney Beres, Ronnie Sandoval and Pat McClain. Even we can't wait to see the final edit on these.
Omar Hassan threw a backyard bowl party. Here's who came to skate: Grosso, Hewitt, Grant Taylor, Partanen, Navarrette, Steve Olson, Lucero, Josh Borden, Willis Kimbel, and many others. You gotta see Hosoi's ender.
It's been a full week of ATL with Raney, Raven, GT and the boys—it's Yardsale time.
Grant, Raven, and Raney continue their Georgian destruction with a scorching pit session. Fire Walk with Me...
A good ramp session always involves skaters pushing each other, but this one gets wild. Grant, Raven, Raney, Plunkett and others do some sick transfers and wall-crawls. Thanks for the trip, guys.
The crew dissects the unique moonscape at Grant's place and then they really cut loose and go warp speed on some gigantic concrete waves.
The Big Dog flew down South and captured Grant, Raven, Raney and the homies decimating the Kennesaw park. There's more to this ATL excursion. This is only Part 1...
Pools, pouring 'crete, BBQ at granny's, and brewskis were all checked off with Fred Gall back East. One hell of a week—featuring Fritz, Young Will, Max, Xeno, Andrew, Cranston, Brian B, Luke, Petillo, and all other NJ Scum.
2013 was another awesome one for the books. Cheers to beers!
Hubbard, Huston, Hewitt, Drehobl, Cope, Cao, Kanfoush, Syvanen, Dicola, Raney & Raven all dish it out in this P-Stone smorgasbord.
Hit the road in the truck with Kanfoush, Raney and Gut to switch it up for a few days. Add some hospitality from Neck, some sick spots from Landau and the crew got the fire started.
Plenty of slams in 2013; P-Stone put together a montage of his favs.
P-Stone starts out his holiday cheer with some clips of the Santa Cruz bros—Salut!
Raven threw a party at Derby for his 21st birthday. His whole family and friends showed up to celebrate and skate. The tacos were on point and the bruskis were flowing. Thanks again Raven and cheers to many more!
We've never covered a Street League, so we sent P-Stone to assess the situation. Here is everything you need to see in less than two minutes.
If this doesn't make you want to ditch school or work or whatever you're doing to go skate then we can't help you.
Kosake means ripper in Portuguese. 400 people die a day there–we made it. –Jake Phelps
Great trips, sick crews, tons of miles, smiles, and brews all led up to a year in rebru for 2012.
Start it off in NYC with Cranston, Gall, Renaud, and Fardell, and then end up in SF with some other good stops in between.
Non-stop, World-wide ripping. Chalk up another epic year! Cheers!
The Gut and T-Mo terrorize the brown banks.
Pools are tough enough to find and they hurt when you fall. Get ready for some slams.
Keeping it going through the Canadian winter isn't easy, but Colin Lambert and his brother Cain handled the cold no problem.
Throw in some rippers, pools, & random shit, and you'll get good ol' beer bath.
It was a fucking great year! Cheers to beers in 2011.
The fifth and final cookie. Roll back down around south with Kyle Leeper, Darren Navarrette, Peter Hewitt, Peter Watkins, Matt Mumford, Emmanuel Guzman, James Brockman, Truman Hooker, Sam Hitz, and Adrian Mallory.
It took a two-parter to show all the ripping that the Saints and Sinners did. Christmas cheers to the crew.
You get a big crew together an hit the Midwest hard and yowl get a lot of shit done. The Saints and Sinners made it happen.
This cookie is going to hurt and will probably break the plate. Chock full of slams.
Cruise around San Diego with Emmanuel Guzman, Slash, Danny Dicola, Sammy Baca, Devin Appelo, Silent Mike, Div Adams, and Truman Hooker. A full plate of cookies still to come.

As new developments close in on Washington Grove, residents of the forest-embedded town are worried about the future of their historic neighborhood.
Washington Grove, home to about 500 residents according to the 2010 Census, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The town's Historic Preservation Commission has asked a state organization to designate it a "threatened" landmark.
"We are seeking support to preserve a town that hasn't changed much," said Joli McCathran, a member of the commission.
She said the town's borders are threatened by road and development construction, especially the construction of a set of apartments on its northwest border. The developer of the apartments, to be called Towne Crest, had to lower the development's planned density in October as Washington Grove residents fought to preserve the quiet environment near their borders. The developers originally had planned to build 356 apartments on its 8-acre space, more than three times the current number of units on the site.
McCathran said the Towne Crest developer's application to build a high-density residential area "was the trigger" for the 200-acre town to seek public support.
Washington Grove sent an application to Preservation Maryland, a Baltimore-based nonprofit focused on saving historic landmarks. The nonprofit chooses about a dozen landmarks for its "Endangered Maryland" list every year.
In 2012, the list included the Cider Barrel in Germantown and Silver Spring Baptist Church. According to a press release from Preservation Maryland, it designated the Cider Barrel a threatened landmark because of encroaching development and plans to move the structure from the edge of the roadway.
Preservation Maryland occasionally is able to provide help for the "threatened" sites it selects, said Louise Hayman, a spokeswoman for the organization, though the designation does not afford any legal or regulation-related benefits.
"We will, in some cases, provide some modest funding because we think it's an important site," she said.
The communities around the chosen sites mainly benefit from increased attention from the public and her organization, Hayman said, though Preservation Maryland already was familiar with Washington Grove. It supported a state Open Space Legacy designation adjacent to the town in 2005, expressed concern about a CSX bridge project in 2009 and reviewed the possible impact of the Towne Crest apartments this year, she said.
"It seems to be nonstop," McCathran said. "I've lived here some 30 years and we're always under threat by development."
Hayman said the organization's selection committee already has chosen the sites that will be on its 2013 list, though it will not release it until late March, when the list is published in Maryland Life magazine.
Though the Endangered Maryland list mostly consists of singular landmarks, "it's not totally novel" to nominate an entire neighborhood, said Preservation Services Director Marilyn Benaderet of Preservation Maryland.
"We have had large swaths of land like the Superblock that was designated last year," she said.
The Superblock is a collection of historical buildings on downtown Baltimore's west side that are under threat of demolition, according to a press release from Preservation Maryland.
McCathran said it never was an option to select only part of the town, or certain aging areas, to enter into the Endangered Maryland list.
"The entire town is threatened," she said.

Nearly a century of commerce at Wolfson's Department Store in Olde Towne Gaithersburg came to a close on Oct. 26, when the business shut down.
The store opened in 1918. Gaithersburg Mayor Sidney Katz has owned it since 1971, continuing to run the family business that his grandparents, Jacob and Rose Wolfson, started.
Filled with toys, clothing, and fabric in its early years, the space was transformed by Katz in the 1980s into more of a men's clothing and shoe shop. Katz owned the business on his own, but he and his two older brothers own the entire building.
Katz, 63, said he decided to close down the 5,200-square-foot storefront on East Diamond Avenue when he realized he lost the drive to run the business.
Recalling an incident several months earlier, Katz said a salesman visited the store to show him a new line of menswear that would have been a good fit with his other merchandise. After feeling uncharacteristically hesitant about making the deal, Katz saw the situation as a turning point for the business.
"As a small businessman, you work right on your impulse and you sort of jump at the attraction," he said. "But I said, 'Let me think about it,' which was not my usual. I got to thinking, there's a time where I would have had that spark and I didn't."
At that point, the lifelong Gaithersburg resident slowly started to think about shutting down. After talking with his family, he decided it was the right choice for him.
Katz said he would have had to invest more time at the establishment and spend money on remodeling the interior if he stayed on as owner, efforts he did not want to make since no one in his family was interested in eventually taking over.
"I would have to spend more time in here, rather than less," he said. "I thought, 'If the kids don't want it, I don't know that I want to make the investment.'"
Katz said he will spend the rest of the year packing up decades worth of documents and personal possessions. He and his brothers will retain ownership of the building and are open to leasing to new tenants, although there is no planned idea for the space, he said.
Steve Lehr, a manager at McCormick Paints, another local staple, a block west of Wolfson's, said he was sad to see the store go.
"It's sad, in my opinion, to see another small business go," he said. "It's been one of the mainstays of Olde Towne Gaithersburg for years."
Gaithersburg Economic Development Director Tom Lonergan said that while the local store will be missed, the closing represents a new opportunity for another business owner.
"Obviously, Wolfson's was around for a very long time," he said. "But we are fortunate that the property is still going to be owned by the mayor and his family and a space is becoming available on the block."
Lonergan said he thought a "quality restaurant or eclectic boutique" would function well in the space.
Katz said he hopes to have more flexible time for other activities in his life.
"If something would come along that I have great interest in, and give me flexible hours that I could do what I want to do on the mayor side of my life and do something in addition to that, I would consider it," he said.

Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the Scottish surname, now used as a given name throughout the English-speaking world. In the 20th century it was particularly popular in Australia. The surname was originally a Norman baronial name, but a precise identification of the place from which it was derived has not been made (there are a large number of possible candidates). The Bruces were an influential Norman family in Scottish affairs in the early Middle Ages; its most famous member was Robert 'the Bruce' (1274–1329), who is said to have drawn inspiration after his defeat at Methven from the perseverance of a spider in repeatedly climbing up again after being knocked down. He ruled Scotland as King Robert I from 1306 to 1329.

By this summer, the Maryland State Highway Administration expects to have started roadwork to improve conditions at the intersection of routes 5 and 925 in Waldorf.
SHA held a meeting Thursday evening in the cafeteria at John Hanson Middle School in Waldorf to present the proposed changes to the community. Ultimately, SHA Project Manager Marissa Lampart said, the proposed changes will have more of an effect on Route 5 (Leonardtown Road) than 925 (Old Washington Road).
Lampart said the affected area for construction will extend from 50 feet east of the train tracks crossing Route 5 to 100 feet west of the Route 925 intersection. Proposed changes include a 350-foot right turn lane on Route 5's northbound side onto 925, a 5-foot-wide bicycle lane on Route 5's northbound side, upgraded sidewalks, traffic signals and road resurfacing.
Charles County Planning and Growth Management Chief of Resource and Infrastructure Management Jason Groth said the county originally requested the state fund work extending up to Post Office Road, but given the economic climate, this was the most the state could fund.
"While a lot of the puzzle pieces are not ideal in the current situation, ultimately this can come together nicely," Groth said, adding that he felt the proposed changes "complemented" the Waldorf Urban Design plan nicely. "While it doesn't have every element, it still helps us get there."
The Waldorf Urban Design plan is the county's plan to make Waldorf into a viable high-density urban center, and aims to make the area able to support the proposed future light rail. It also focuses on improving the overall quality of streets and other public amenities along Route 925.
Lampart said the cost of the project is around $2 million, a price tag she described in a follow-up phone interview as "lower end compared to other projects like this because it's fairly small" in scope. Lampart said officials expect to have the project's right of way completed in May, at which point they will look for contractors to do the work. Construction is expected to be completed in late 2014 or early 2015.
Former Charles County Commissioner Gary V. Hodge, who attended the meeting, said he feels the project is a step in the right direction, mirroring Groth's sentiments.
"It's an improvement," Hodge said. "It's a first step toward improving Route 5, the flow and efficiency. It's good that the state has begun work, but it isn't the full scope we need to see to improve it."
Waldorf resident Bill Roman, who said he frequently drives along Route 925, said he expected the proposed changes to focus equally on the two roads, rather than putting the majority of the construction on Route 5.
"I thought it would be a more comprehensive redesign than just focusing on Route 5," Roman said. "It's of minimal benefit to me, but I do understand the money situation."

JVCC UHB45 Ultra High Bond Double Coated Tape is a 45 mil thick structural grade tape comprised of an integral core of solid acrylic polymer, coated on both sides with a uniform high-tack acrylic adhesive, and carried on a white polyethylene release liner. Provides a superior, permanent bond between a wide variety of substrates, including glass, sealed wood, metals, painted metals, composites, and some plastics. Withstands a wide range of weathering and temperature conditions without losing adhesion. Solid acrylic core gives tape superior strength; it can be easily applied and cleanly cut, yet is flexible, moldable, compressible and conformable to intricate shapes. Tape will bond to most surfaces, but thorough evaluation is recommended when bonding low energy surface material such as PVC, ABS, Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP). Not recommended for bonding Teflon, Tedlar, silicone or EPDM.
JVCC UHB45 is used primarily in the transportation industry, automotive, truck, trailer and bus, signs, graphic art assemblies, furniture/appliance manufacturing and RV skin to frame assembly. Rugged metal to metal bonds to replace welding, rivets, bolts, screw and cementing. It will maintain adhesion at sub-zero temperatures and is non-staining and will not harden or become brittle with age. It isolates and dampens vibration and shock. DC-UHB45 is approved for certain GM, Ford and Chrysler specifications.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
