Norman Alfred Oss III, 'Stickman,' Passes Away at 79 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Norman Alfred Oss III, known affectionately as 'Stickman,' passed away on October 24, 2026, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, at the age of 79. Born on September 12, 1947, in Long Beach, California, Oss was a Vietnam War veteran, serving as a tank driver from 1967 to 1968. This experience significantly impacted his life, and he later participated in readings of names at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Throughout his career, he held various positions, including assistant to the president of Holiday Magic, Inc., which allowed him to travel extensively. After retiring, Oss became a beloved figure in his local community, carving and giving away walking sticks from his carport, embodying his belief that 'not everything in life is for sale.' His carport became a popular destination, even for local school field trips, where children would collect walking sticks and other treasures. He was also known for his distinctive calligraphy in cards and letters to friends and family.

Genetic Sequencing Links Washington Dairy Bird Flu to Idaho, H5N1 B3.13 Genotype Confirmed

Genetic Sequencing Links Washington Dairy Bird Flu to Idaho, H5N1 B3.13 Genotype Confirmed

Genetic sequencing has confirmed that the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) detected in two Washington dairy herds is consistent with transmission from Idaho, likely through cattle movement. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced that the virus is H5N1 genotype B3.13. The first two detections in Washington dairy herds were reported on October 8, with the National Veterinary Services Laboratories completing whole genome sequencing on the same day. This B3.13 genotype has been implicated in most HPAI cases in U.S. dairy herds, stemming from the original spillover event in the Texas Panhandle in late 2023. The Washington herds exhibited clinical signs consistent with H5N1 infection, and surveillance is ongoing in the affected areas and throughout the state.

Nuclear Energy Sector Experiences Renaissance with New Reactor Designs and Increased Investment

Nuclear Energy Sector Experiences Renaissance with New Reactor Designs and Increased Investment

The nuclear energy sector is undergoing a renaissance, marked by a convergence of scientific, technological, and economic factors. Over the past decade, there has been a significant resurgence in nuclear science and technology. Recently, developers of five different reactor models achieved 'initial criticalities,' demonstrating the physics of their designs through low-power chain reactions. Advanced reactors are currently under construction in Wyoming, Idaho, and Tennessee, with another planned for Texas. Several companies involved in these projects have raised over $1 billion in start-up funding, and a dozen advanced reactor companies are now trading on Wall Street. States are also actively supporting the industry by establishing offices to assist nuclear companies and allocating funds. The White House has set goals for nuclear expansion, viewing it as an investment in national security. Even states like California and those in New England, which previously had moratoria on new reactor construction, are n...
