image of the galaxy. The superposed white contours show the 8.44 GHz radio emission mapped with the VLA, presented earlier in Sarazin  (1995). The composite U-band image was constructed first by subtracting the model for the background galaxy discussed in Section 4.1 from the summed, 31.2 ksec U-band image, leaving the bright blue lobes in residual. The residual image was then multiplied by an arbitrary factor, and the U-band image was smoothed with a 4 pixel FWHM Gaussian kernel. The residual and U-band images were scaled logarithmically, added, and displayed in grayscale. This rendering allows the brightest and bluest regions in black to be seen against the background galaxy contours in gray and the radio source in white. The structure seen in earlier U and I data byThe surgical center and five affiliated clinics have been closed.
"I find it baffling, frankly, that in this day and age anyone would think it was safe to reuse a syringe," said Michael Bell, associate director for infection control at the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
One of the infected patients is retired airplane mechanic Michael Washington, 67, who was the first to report his infection. On the advice of his doctor, he received a routine colon exam in July at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada.
In September, he started to get sick. He was losing weight fast. His urine turned dark. His stomach hurt. By January, it was clear what had happened.
Washington describes his virus as a "creeping death sentence" and worries that others will hear his
