Mobile Medical Testing Services in West Virginia
Since 1989, OMY Mobile Medical Testing has provided a variety of Testing and Screening services that are designed to keep West Virginia workers safe and West Virginia businesses in compliance with federal regulations. Our mobile units minimize loss of productivity by testing employees at your own facility rather than sending them offsite. We can test up to 8 employees at a time – up to 24 employees per hour – and we can be scheduled for any shifts that your employees work – day or night – because we're on the road for you. We provide onsite Audiometric Testing, Respiratory Clearances, Vision Testing, Drug Screening and Health Fairs for West Virginia businesses like yours.
Audiometric Testing and Reports
Audiometric Testing is done onsite at your facility in one of our mobile units. Our audiometers get an exhaustive calibration yearly, and our vans and trailers are well-maintained, clean and quiet. After the testing, we compile, compare and review the results, and you can usually expect to receive them within a week. The results are stored as PDF files on a flash drive – no more messy binders or stacks of paperwork. OMY's support staff is always available to answer any questions or concerns that you might have about your employees' results.
Respiratory Clearances and Fit Tests
Respiratory Clearances consist of a pulmonary function test, a blood pressure test, a (required) OSHA questionnaire, and a written respirator clearance for those who qualify. We perform the tests onsite at your facility in one of our mobile units. We also conduct Respiratory Fit Tests to ensure that employees who are cleared to wear respirators are wearing them properly.
Vision Testing
Vision Testing can be done at your facility either in one of our mobile units or we can bring our equipment inside your facility and set up wherever there is adequate space, typically in an unused conference room. The results of the tests will be sent to the employer to distribute to the employees.
Drug Screening
OMY Provides Drug Screening services for both DOT and non-DOT testing. The Drug Screening process is highly regulated, and we maintain a complete chain of custody from the time of collection until it is sealed and initialed by the employee.
Health Fairs
Hosting onsite Health Fairs is a simple – but effective – benefit that companies can offer their employees, and it is a valuable opportunity to boost morale by surpassing federal regulations. We can typically provide hearing and pulmonary tests in addition to other basic services like checking blood pressure and weight.

I would like to just make a quick post and clarify a few misunderstandings and untruths floating around at present .
Battle group South is still alive and well despite what some people are saying rightly or wrongly due to misinformation . WE have indeed recently split and a new group of more junior , younger more energetic members have separated amicably to start a new group called BGC , battle group centre , their aim is to do more battle reenactments and outdoor training, and a more formal set up club etc and we wish Battle group centre well with this .
The original members founding members of battle group south are still alive and well and running battle group south , Myself Joe O Toole , Justin Horgan , Noel Mac , Ben and the more senior members of BGS like Dave , Jens , James and a few newer men are indeed still BGS . It is our aim to pursue a more different role more closer to what the club was founded on by us first day , original vehicle restoration , living history displays and public engagements ,, film work and social group for travelling with the vehicles and friendships .
In recent years as the club got too big to quick we seemed to have been pulled down too many avenues of pursuit and got away from our first love , the vehicles and living history displays .
We will be returning to this in 2014 bigger and better than ever . Our aim is to get our 5 outfits and 4 solo bikes and truck and a lot of our gear to most of the shows next with a nice living history display on show wit5h our members under no pressure as things had become in recent years with big logistics .A return to old loves and values . Were getting a bit grey and creaky to be running around the woods and battle fields unless mounted on our bikes and out fits .
WE will be doing a few private tactical weekends, on the vehicles ,and keeping the hand in at that for few of our younger lads .Also we have 2 films we will be working on in spring and next Autumn involving our vehicles and ourselves .
Our commitment to the museum in Duncannon is also in the forefront of our existence and we will be driving forward with this in 2014 , Feb - June to get phase 2 up and running , the Irish history section .BGS has been and will be committed to this for the future and our results can be seen on the battle group south facebook site and the Duncannon fort site .
Battle Group South have our webs site still up and we have since set up a new facebook site which is more current and a good way to keep up on what's happening for the year ahead . We are moving into the 21st century now so watch the facebook is my advice .
Lastly we will be going to Normandy as a club as we have done for many years for the D Day commemorations the first week in June . We aim to take 12 members and 6 vehicles .
The Duncannon show will be on as usual this year 2014 and as one of the main organisers myself , I look forward to seeing all there as has been the case over the years . We aim to promote the show this year more on a living history show and we will be encouraging new groups big or small to attend , all welcome . I will post separately in the events page in Jan on this with more info etc . June bank holiday weekend .
If anyone feels they need more info or needs clarification on things please contact me directly, It puts an end to speculation and false rumour and misinformation and more importantly defamatory statements etc
Finally I and BGS wish battle group centre well in their new endeavours in the future and good luck in their pursuit of the hobbyin the way they want to do it , and we will be doing things our way and please God the country is big enough for everyone and hopefully all these groups combined at events will be good for the hobby and public shows in the long run

NEWS - Friday, May 17, 2013
(RUMOR) - (RUMOR) Is Rainbow 6 Patriots a "dead" project?
We haven't heard a peep from Ubisoft on Rainbow 6 Patriots in a while, and a recent move from a retailer has raised further questions about the game's fate. GameStop has reportedly pulled the game from its database, and a source claims those in charge "actively flipped a switch" rather than any kind of automated time-based removal.
The source told IGN that GameStop doesn't usually remove a game from a large publisher from its database until it is officially dead. It's even rarer to pull a game that has appeared as a Game Informer cover story, as it owns the magazine. This doesn't necessarily mean the game has been shelved, but it does once again raise the question of what will happen to it.
After creative director David Sears left the project in 2012, Ubisoft assured fans that it was still alive and "evolving." Late last year, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said the game has a good chance of appearing on next-gen consoles.

The warm, sunny week ahead in Colorado could be one for the weather record books
Break out the lawn tools and lemonade; the nicest week of the year marches on just as Daylight Savings Time delivers an extra hour of sunshine to enjoy.
If you liked Sunday, you'll love Monday. The high in Denver today was 64 degrees. Tomorrow, 68. And the work week should have daily highs 15 to 20 degrees warmer than the 30-year average of 54.
Tuesday has a forecast high of 72 in the city, then 69 on Wednesday, 70 on Thursday and Friday, before Saturday and Sunday chill down to 64 degrees.
Not bad for Colorado's snowiest month, huh? With just a little bit of meteorological shift, we could set records this week. Tuesday is the bet shot. The warmest March 13 on record was in 2007, when the high was 74 degrees, just 2 degrees higher than the forecast.
Colorado Master Gardeners have a few tips on how to make the most of the unseasonal weather to get a headstart of springtime gardening here.

Janet Dailey eBooks
Janet Dailey was born on May 21, 1944 in Storm Lake, Iowa. Dailey always wanted to be a writer and loved books. Her three elder sisters often read to her when she was good. By the age of four, she had her own library card. She graduated in 1962 from Jefferson High School in nearby Independence, Iowa. She was employed by a secretarial firm owned by her future husband, Bill Dailey, who was fifteen years her senior. The two continued to work together, often spending 17 hours a day, seven days a week at work. In 1974, after asserting yet again that she could write a better romance novel than those she had read, Dailey's husband challenged her to prove it. She sold her first manuscript to Harlequin, becoming their first American author. American writers had never written for category romances, and Harlequin was unwilling to gamble that readers would embrace the American themes or American settings, and rejected other American authors, such as Nora Roberts, because they "already had their American writer."

Greetings, Pathfinders!
This is the first "Development Spotlight" post from the series and there will be more (name isn't set in stone though). In those posts we will tell you about the future of the project, upcoming changes, patches, DLCs etc.
We have received a lot of feedback on the strategic part of our game – development of the Barony. So, this time, we decided to highlight most obscure parts of Kingdom mechanics in the "Spotlight of Development" and try to address some of the questions and clarify various aspects of Kingdom Management.
Spoiler alert! There will be info about certain events, buildings or projects; some of them reference certain decisions or story elements!
Barony Status
Barony status - is one the most important parameters and it shows how peaceful the citizens are and how strong is their loyalty towards you as a ruler. Disregarding that parameter may lead to the barony collapse as well as the end of the game. Barony status can be lowered due to the following reasons:
At the start of the event, if it is about riots and uprisings. If the event is successfully resolved, the status will be restored.
At the end of some problems, if they fail.
If you have a negative amount of BP.
When one of the stats of a barony was reduced below zero.
As a result of decisions made during the barony ranking up process (for example, if you decided to increase taxes significantly)
Several events can help when barony status fell too low:
When the status of your barony becomes "Troubled," at the start of the next month, you will get special event "Feast for the Afflicted," which restores one status level for 1000 BP and takes 5 days.
If your barony status reaches "Riots," you will get another event - "Address the Barony," which allows Regent, Curator or Grand Diplomat to restore one status level for 25 BP, it takes 28 days and has difficulty check (DC) of 25 (if you fail this project, there won't be any bad consequences).
And if your barony status becomes "Crumbling," the third event appears - "The Last Resort," which allows your General, Warden or Minister to restore one status level for 50 BP, it takes 14 days and has difficulty check (DC) of 21 (fail in this event will decrease respective kingdom stat by 6).
We are planning to add some additional events to help you recover the barony status.
There are also several buildings, projects, and decisions, which allow you to increase barony status during ranking up. Sometimes events and triumphs can lead to positive change in barony status and lead to "Serene." To give several examples:
Assassin's Guild (that could be unlocked from kingdom quest for CN kingdoms) can prevent going into Crumbling state, but at the cost of 10 Community, and only if you have allowed bandits ran rampant in your kingdom.
If you have decided to help Linxia and despite all odds secured an alliance with her, you will be granted a project that occasionally makes status better (up until Worried). This project also makes Last Resort better.
The decision to reduce taxes while increasing the rank of Economy to 3, will make status better (can even make it Serene); increasing taxes will make status worse.
Troublemakers Kingdom Problem can make status worse on Disaster.
Arrears Kingdom Problem can make status better on Triumph while solving with Councilor.
"Invincible Kingdom" setting prevents your barony from being ruined when it reaches barony status "Destroyed." However, some story events (like Massive Troll Attack or The Barony Was Consumed By The Bloom) can still lead to the destruction of Barony. You will be warned about such events in advance (2 months, a month, 3 weeks, 2 weeks and a week before). Such events are prevented by completing the main story mission of the chapter.
In the upcoming 1.1 patch, when BP drop below 0, barony status will change at the end of the day and will not when you hit negative BP. This will give you an opportunity to visit merchant Hassuf and buy additional BP.
We are working on other improvements for barony status system, and primarily on providing clear information about status changes (which, in most cases, are enigmatic).
There are all kinds of events in your barony and a lot of them might affect stats or status of the barony. For most events, you need to assign advisors to solve them. Success or failure of the event is determined as follows:
D20 is rolled.
Advisor's ability score bonus is added (Str for General, Con for Warden, Dex for Minister, Int for Treasurer and Magister, Wis for Councilor and High Priest, Cha for Regent, Grand Diplomat and Treasurer).
Then "+2" bonus for every rank of the kingdom stat is added.
After that, another modifier, based on barony status, is added (from +1 if it is Serene, 0 if it is Stable and -1 for each step below Stable up to -4 if Crumbling).
The resulting number is compared to the difficulty of the event and if they are at least equal - the event is resolved successfully. If the resulting number is higher than the difficulty event by 5 - you get Triumph. If the resulting number is lower by 6 - you get Disaster.
If you want to increase the ability score bonus, you can equip your companion advisors with magic items increasing respective abilities. For NPC-advisors special projects like "Strengthen Jhod's Skills as an Advisor" appear when the corresponding barony stat rank increase; these projects increase bonus that NPC advisors provide.
There are two types of events: Opportunities and Problems. Failing an Opportunity won't lead to severe consequences, but ignoring the Problem might. When possible, you should assign an advisor with the highest bonus for resolving Problems. You can risk appointing advisor with a smaller bonus to the Opportunity and have a chance to grow barony stat, rank it up and eventually make a bonus for this advisor better. You can ignore the event (there is a special button at the bottom of a card), and it will be resolved as Failure on the next day.
If an event requires an advisor, you need to appoint him before the 1st day of the following month. In case you didn't assign the advisor for an event, one will be assigned automatically on the first day of the next month. And any events left without an advisor are automatically resolved as Failures. In the upcoming 1.1 patch, you will be able to resolve all the events that appeared after 20th of the current month, until the end of the next month.
You can assign advisors while you are inside the borders of the barony - there is no need to be in your capital. So you should plan your adventures accordingly and come back once in a month to assign orders. If something important happens (or you were away for too long) - you will receive a messenger raven. So, it is essential to claim regions and expand your barony.
And if the event requires baron's personal attention - you need to visit the throne room. Some of those events are related to the problems and can lower stat of your barony once in 14 days until you visit the throne room. Examples of such events from the beginning of the Barony would be: Troll Invasion, Visitor Waits in the Castle, New Troll Sightings, Problem with Taxes…
Some events, like those related to Bald Hilltop (Ancient Curse quests), are especially dangerous for your barony. First events of this kind called Eight-Legged Plague and Rotten Beasts. While these events are quite rare, they can significantly lower the stats of the barony. You can find the timer for the Bald Hilltop in Linzi's Journal, it shows the time left for the whole quest. The corresponding problem will appear in the barony and enemies will spawn on the Bald Hilltop 14 days before the end of the quest. Problems such as Eight-Legged Plague and Rotten Beasts lower barony stats once in 2 days, while an advisor can solve it in 1 day and even adverse outcomes (Failure and Disaster) will stop Problem from recurringly lowering stats. To complete the quest and receive rewards you must defeat enemies and successfully complete the problem in the barony. At the moment, you can easily miss the start of this event, and it will lead to harsh consequences. We have plans to add notification 2 weeks before the beginning of the Bald Hilltop problem to remind about its arrival and give you some time to prepare for it.
Difficulty level affects events directly. On Easy levels the difficulty of the event is lowered by 2, Hard level increases it by 2. We have plans to add additional difficulty level - "Effortless Kingdom." On this level any event is resolved successfully with the roll of at least 8 and, if the advisor can achieve success with lower roll, the game will use advisor's stat. It will allow developing your barony much easier.
Barony Development
To develop your barony, you should claim regions, improve them, construct buildings and complete projects. All those actions require BP. Barony receives 30 BP/week from Brevoy. For every rank of the stat, income increases by 1 BP (but it can't be bigger than Economy, for example, if you have 4 ranks in Economy and 6 in Loyalty, Loyalty will provide just 4 BP). Trade agreements and economy related decisions will also increase your BP income. Half of this additional income will be sent back to Brevoy. When your barony becomes a kingdom, it stops paying half of the income to Brevoy, at the same time it loses 30 BP/week.
You can purchase additional BP from merchant Hassuf in your capital (80 gold = 1 BP). The merchant with his stand could be found on the central square of your capital, he has many goods to sell so to find BP easily it is advisable to use filter "Other" and Sort by Name (From A to Z).
Special projects appear when you can claim a region, and they require Baron to spend 14 days to complete it (later you will be able to half the time needed for a project). That means 14 days will be skipped. You shouldn't start such projects if you have less than 14 days until the end of the month - it might lead to failing events which appeared at the end of the month (before patch 1.1). Every new claimed region increases barony stats, and you can build a settlement there. Some regions have prerequisites that should be fulfilled before you will be able to claim them. For example, North Narlmarches require Community rank 3, and Kamelands requires Loyalty rank 3. You will be able to found one settlement in each region.
Settlements can be upgraded. To upgrade your Capital from Village to Town you should fill 8 building slots and have at least 2 other Villages. The second town requires 6 settlements in the barony and 8 filled building slots in the Village you are going to upgrade. Capital can be upgraded to City if 16 building slots are filled, and there are three Towns in your barony.
Regions can be upgraded after Capital becomes a City. Those upgrades improve region stats and provide barony with additional effects. Every upgrade has its own conditions to appear, some of them are connected to story and side quests, others - to barony stats.
Artisans are craftsmen, who create various items which are useful in travels across the Stolen Lands. You can meet an artisan after you have claimed the region where he lives. Some artisans will come to your throne room and ask for help, others can be visited after you have built a settlement in the region (you should enter this settlement from the global map). It is strongly recommended to visit North Narlmarches and Kamelands to talk to different characters. Artisan quest starts after you have spoken with him. To receive gifts from artisan you should construct a particular building, Artisan's Shop, in the same settlement you have met the artisan. To give a couple of examples: Bokken's Alchemical Shop or Dragn's Armor Shop. After this you will receive gifts every 2-3 months - artisan will bring them when he visits baron in the throne room. If you have artisans - don't forget to visit your throne room, even if you don't have events.
With time, artisans will create more powerful items. To enhance items, created by the artisan, you can: complete artisan's quest, reform barony into the kingdom, increase specific barony stats and improve artisan's shop (after 1.0.16 patch). If you fulfill all the requirements mentioned above, the artisan will start working on masterpiece - especially powerful item, that can come in handy later in the game. The artisan will notify you before he starts working on such item. Masterpieces are one of the best items you can acquire in the game!
We have plans to add Kingdom events that will provide information about what's happening in the regions you control and advise to visit the local settlement when artisan appears.

Initially, alignment of the barony corresponds to the alignment of the baron, but baron's alignment might change with time. When you receive an informational event that your barony becomes known across Golarion, barony alignment synchronizes with the alignment of its ruler. At the same time, a quest for cooperation with other countries appears.
That's all for now! We hope this rather long helped you better understand how kingdom management works and cleared up any misconceptions. Stay tuned for more!

The U.S. Department of the State is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a former San Diego resident on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list.
Fugitive Jehad Serwan Mostafa (pictured above, right) is a U.S. citizen who lived in San Diego before moving to Somalia in 2005.
Investigators say Mostafa has served as a media expert and leader of foreign fighters for the Somalia-based terrorist group, al-Shabaab. He was indicted in San Diego in October 2009 on charges of conspiring to provide material support to al-Shabaab.
According to investigators, Mostafa is has used the birth years of 1981 and 1986. He has also used the aliases Ahmed Gurey, Anwar al-Amriki, Emir Anwar and Abu Abdullah al-Muhajir.
Back in August 2010, NBC 7 San Diego reported that Mostafa was a former employee at an auto shop located on El Cajon Boulevard.
Today, agents believe Mostafa is living in Somalia. He may have visited Yemen, Ethiopia, Kenya and other African countries, according to investigators.
Investigators describe him as a 6-foot-1 American male with a light complexion, a beard, brown hair and blue eyes. He's approximately 170 pounds and speaks Arabic, Somali and English. He's left-handed and wears eyeglasses. He has a large scar on his right hand and a small scar on the top of his left index finger.
Investigators say Mostafa has supported al-Shabaab in several roles, including acting as a training camp instructor and leader of foreign fighters.
In addition to the $5 million reward offered for information leading to Mostafa, the U.S. Department of State has also announced a $5 million reward for information leading to another alleged member of al-Shabaab, Omar Shafik Hammami (pictured above, left).
Hammami is a U.S. citizen and former resident of Daphne, Ala. Investigators say he moved to Somalia in 2006 where he joined and received training from Islamist militants. He has served as a propagandist for al-Shabaab, recruiting English-speaking youth through his writings, rap songs and video statements, according to the FBI.
Hammami has also served as a military commander, leading foreign fighters under Mostafa's command. He was indicted in September 2009 on charges of providing support to al-Shabaab.
Investigators believe Hammami currently lives in Somalia. He's 28 years old, 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds. He has a light complexion, brown hair, brown eyes and speaks Arabic, English and some Somali.
The FBI says anyone with information about Mostafa or Hammami should contact the U.S. Department of the State's Rewards for Justice office at (800) 877-3927 or visit this this website.
The FBI says both fugitives should be considered armed and dangerous, so anyone with information should contact their local FBI office or the nearest American embassy or consulate.
Darrell Foxworth with the San Diego FBI told NBC 7 Mostafa could still have local ties, even if he hasn't lived in San Diego for several years.
"There may be people still in contact with him. Just because he is in Somalia, he's not here in San Diego, that doesn't mean he's not maintaining communication through the internet or some other means," said Foxworth.
This isn't the first time a San Diego resident has had ties to al-Shabaab.
In February, a group of local Somali immigrants – including a popular imam at a City Heights mosque – were convicted by a federal jury for allegedly providing support to al-Shabaab and conspiring to raise money for the Somalia-based terrorist group.
In December 2012, a San Diego woman was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for conspiring to send nearly $1,500 to four Somalian men fighting for al-Shabaab.
The FBI says al-Shabaab is a violent militia group that engages in suicide bombings, targets civilians for assassination and uses improvised explosive devices. The group was formally named as a foreign terrorist organization in February 2008 by the U.S. Department of State.

Who would have thought that watching people watching matches on a Saturday afternoon for up to six hours could be so much fun?
Chances are, not many people.
But despite this, Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday is as popular as it has ever been.
Jeff Stelling and his mates not only bring us the up-to-date scores.
They sprinkle it with laughter and fun, which is what sport is all about isn't it? If not then it should be.
This week Sky Sports celebrated 25 years of being on our screens.
Plenty of opinion is divided as to whether its impact has been good or bad on not just football but all other sports in this country.
Some say it's emergence has created the armchair fan that exists today, with people more content to stay at home rather than trek out to their local stadium.
There's also the very valid argument of the emergence of the Premier League and the impact that money has had on the game, but that's another argument for another time.
Others though boast that it has brought a sharp eye to the experience of watching sport, with a wealth of experts to bring into focus the key aspects of live sport.
The impact that Sky Sports has had in its maiden 25 years has been monumental (and in some cases damaging) for most sports in this country.
It has introduced new sports to the British mainstream and magnified those on our shores to such a degree that it sometimes seems there is almost too much analysis and probing.
But despite its faults it has been able to tap into a lucrative market here in the UK.
Before its emergence, who would have thought that there would be a 24-hour news channel dedicated solely to rolling sports news?
Or that for two-and-a-half weeks a year a particular channel would pack its schedule entirely full of darts?
Sport is big business and that shows no signs of abating.
As powerful and dominant Sky have been, there's no doubting that a huge watershed moment came last year when they lost rights to the UEFA Champions League.
The company had ploughed so much into the competition and were masters of broadcasting the event, with an excellent line-up of presenters, pundits and broadcasters.
To go from having every single game live to not even having highlights was a stark contrast and one made even worse with BT Sport also stealing a chunk of Premier League matches too.
Of course new rivals will always emerge and try to steal a piece of the pie, and BT look as though they pose the biggest threat that Sky Sports has ever experienced in its quarter of a century.
But while the future may be uncertain, one thing that can be agreed is that Sky Sports has set the bar for sports broadcasting in this country.
For football fans, watching Jeff and his pals on a Saturday has become a ritual.
Here's to the next 25 years.

Stubborn weed exhibits more resistance in Midwest
Perfect, weed-free soybean fields were an exception rather than the rule this growing season. By late summer, many fields across the Midwest had one weed in particular—waterhemp—topping the crop. Farmers are being urged to evaluate their fields now to get the problem in check for 2012.
"Waterhemp broke loose this year," says Dan Westberg, BASF technical market manager. "Some parts of the Midwest, such as Illinois and Missouri, are on the cusp of experiencing problems similar to what the Mississippi Delta has seen with Palmer amaranth."
Chuck Foresman, manager of weed resistance strategies for Syngenta Crop Protection, says low-lying wet spots in fields offer clues to weed shifts. "I'm finding waterhemp filling many of those drowned-out areas instead of the grasses and morningglories we once saw," he says.
Reports that waterhemp populations were surviving glyphosate applications made in late June and early July didn't surprise Aaron Hager, University of Illinois weed scientist. Although there are numerous reasons herbicide applications might fail to control weeds, the possibility of resistant biotypes in the field is growing, he says.
"The most common scenario is having a 'noticeable' percentage of plants survive after applying glyphosate in soybeans [at rates from 0.75 lb. to 1.5 lb. acid equivalent or ae per acre]. Many producers said that within seven to 10 days after glyphosate was applied, it was obvious the waterhemp plants would survive," Hager says.
"In some instances, it appears that survival could be attributable to an application rate too low for the size of plants, rainfall too soon after the application or poor coverage on the target vegetation. In other instances, the best explanation appears to be the evolution of a glyphosate-resistant population," he says.
More than one type of herbicide resistance may be present in a field. Hager says Illinois surveys in 2010 found that a third of glyphosate-resistant waterhemp populations also demonstrated resistance to PPO inhibitors and virtually all were resistant to ALS inhibitors. Common waterhemp has also exhibited resistance to triazines and HPPD inhibitors in Illinois and other states.
"The data suggests the occurrence of multiple resistant waterhemp will continue to increase," Hager says.
Westberg urges growers to record problem areas during harvest this fall. "This is a weed that requires an integrated system approach to control," he says. "Multiple sites of action, crop
rotation and soil residual herbicides are keys to keeping waterhemp confused enough so we can continue to control it chemically.
"Once waterhemp gets some size, there aren't good control options in soybeans. Growers may need to consider hand removal prior to seed set, as we are seeing in the South with Palmer amaranth," Westberg adds.
Female waterhemp plants can produce in excess of 1 million seeds per plant. "Equipment—particularly combines and tillage tools—can efficiently spread seeds of a resistant population from one field to another," Westberg says. "Consider harvesting heavily infested fields last or cutting around problem areas."
Is It Resistant?
Not every waterhemp plant that survives an application of glyphosate is resistant to it. University of Illinois weed scientist Aaron Hager says a combination of factors should lead you to suspect that a waterhemp population is indeed glyphosate-resistant:
- The appropriate rate of glyphosate (plus proper adjuvants) was applied at the appropriate weed growth stage.
- Environmental conditions during and after application were conducive to glyphosate activity.
- Plants that survived the glyphosate application are found next to plants that were controlled.
- The field has a history of glyphosate use.

Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare cancer that develops in the lymph nodes and is most often seen in patients under the age of 35, but can be seen in all ages.
At the OSUCCC – James, our lymphoma team of physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses are world-renowned experts who specialize solely in the treatment of patients with lymphoma and whose goal is to design the very best treatment plan and therapies to target each patient's specific disease.
And by offering access to some of the country's most advanced clinical trials right here at the OSUCCC – James, patients know that additional options, when needed, are always available for their treatment and care.
What is Hodgkin's Lymphoma?
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare cancer that develops in the lymph nodes and is most often seen in patients under the age of 35, but can be seen in all ages.
No one knows what causes Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hodgkin's lymphoma accounts for less than one percent of all diagnosed cancers in the U.S. Of the 80,000 lymphomas that are diagnosed in Americans each year, only about 9,000 are Hodgkin's lymphoma. Because of the rarity of this disease and because of the variety of treatment options, which includes chemotherapy and radiation, it is recommended that all patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma get an opinion on treatment at an academic cancer center like the OSUCCC – James. The pathology, radiation and hematology-oncology expertise at an academic medical center help ensure a patient has the correct diagnosis and is offered state-of-the-art treatment options.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is typically curable in 50-90% of patients, depending on the stage of the lymphoma at diagnosis. For those patients whose Hodgkin's comes back, there are a number of other treatment options and clinical trials with new drugs that may help put it back into remission.
Hodgkin's Lymphoma Symptoms
Symptoms of Hodgkin's lymphoma sometimes include:
- Painless, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarm or groin
- Fever for no known reason
- Drenching night sweats
- Weight loss for no known reason
- Itchy skin
- Feeling very tired
(Source: National Cancer Institute)
Having symptoms does not necessarily mean you have Hodgkin's lymphoma. But if you have symptoms, you should tell your doctor, especially if symptoms are severe or have continued for longer than a few weeks.
If you have received a Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis, or if you want a second opinion or just want to speak to a lymphoma specialist, we are here to help you. Call 800-293-5066 or 614-293-5066 to make an appointment.

Custom commuters Forget about fighting traffic. Relax and read your paper. No need to worry about getting a seat on the bus. In the H&S San Francisco office, partner Dale Schmid, MAS manager John Nixon and tax senior Doug Sobolik are among the new breed of big city commuters who have conquered at least some of their difficulties. They live in San Rafael in Marin County and ride comfortably between home and the H&S office in the San Francisco financial district by chartered bus. The H&S men are members of the Custom Commute Club, now four years old. The bus service was organized as a commuter's cooperative by people living in the same residential area and working in the same downtown district, John joined the service first and introduced Dale to it. Both are regulars, and Doug joins the party on occasion. "The cost of having our own bus service is comparable to other commercial transportation," Dale says, but it's considerably less than driving your own car " Passengers pay $35 a month, which comes to about $1.65 daily for the typical month. The bus follows a route taking it through the neighborhoods of its riders in San Rafael and adjacent communities, so that no one needs to walk more than a block or two to meet it. In the city it deposits each member-rider at his place of business or very close to it. "This is really a kind of pick-up and delivery service," Dale explains. "Or you could look on it as a huge taxi," Most of the riders are old-timers and practically everyone knows everyone else aboard. There is a coordinator who sits up front and if a stranger appears, he asks whose place the newcomer is taking today. If a member is on vacation, or for some reason does not commute for a while, he can assign his seat to a friend temporarily without losing his place. The bus is chartered from the East Shore Line and the revenue from the service represents a comfortable recovery of the owners" fixed cost. Anything else that the charter line can make on the use of the vehicle and driver during the day is gravy. Dale describes the group as "very loosely structured." Little needs to be done in the way of organizing the rider group, The coordinator keeps a list of applicants eager to fill spaces that are vacated, handles the paperwork for new arrivals and departures, and collects the monthly checks. The H&S men catch the bus at about 7 a.m. in San Rafael, pass over the Golden Gate Bridge and reach downtown San Francisco by 8 a.m. This is an earlier start than many people are used to, but the financial district people in San Francisco and elsewhere on the Pacific Coast usually start early in order to coordinate their work with financial activity in the East. Departure time is shortly after 5 p.m. On Friday afternoons there is often a touch of merriment on board. Frequently a case of liquids appears, sponsored by someone celebrating a promotion, or merely the arrival of the weekend. At other times riders can, and do. read the paper, play bridge, chat or snooze, Dale Schmid sums it up: "This is a very sensible approach to cutting down on commuter traffic, and bus chartering continues to grow as waiting lists get longer. When they have enough names, the coordinators can organize another bus. And one bus probably replaces twenty or thirty cars." • Long count Most of us don't get fired up by a radio deejay. But Bob Jirovec, H&S principal, did while he was driving to the Cleveland office one day last spring. Inspired by what he had heard, he called the station ten minutes after arrival at the office. A few days later he was up to his elbows in a deal totaling more than $100,000. The pitchman was disc jockey Don Imus on station WGAR, who was plugging a public service campaign that immediately aroused Bob's interest. The disc jockey was saying that the Narcotic Drug and Education Program, a non-profit organization, had been doing such a fine job in Cleveland that" I propose that we have a fund raising marathon for 60 hours and I'll continuously broadcast until we raise the$l00,000 that they need: As Bob Jirovec remembers the incident after an interval of some months: "As soon as I got to the office I checked with Elmer Beamer. and then called the radio station. I introduced myself to the general manager and to Don Imus and told them that we at H&S could help in the tabulation of the cash and pledges that would come in during the marathon. This disc jockey, who had started the whole thing on his own initiative, was very happy to hear that we would assist in this work. We assigned our volunteers to the tabulation job in three-hour shifts. The hardest to fill was the 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. graveyard shift! All together fifteen or twenty people from Haskins & Sells spent some time on this fund ( raising marathon. The broadcast was not conducted from the radio station, but rather from an automobile showroom that was donated so that passers-by could see the action. The marathon attracted a big crowd to the showroom,

Babies as young as seven months use fake crying to get attention according to new research.
Japanese researchers observed the crying patterns of two girls - aged seven and nine months - over a six month period.
Dr Hiroka Nakayama, from Sacred Heart University in Tokyo, said that the younger child exhibited instances of fake crying that appeared to be to get the mother's attention.
However while most people might take a negative view of fake crying, Dr Nakayama said it can actually have a positive impact on a parent's relationship with their child.
She said fake crying is a useful form of communication that "contributes greatly not only to an infant's socials envelopment but also to their emotional development."
She said: "Infants who are capable of fake crying mightcommunicate successfully with their caregivers in this way on a daily basis. Fake crying could add much to their relationships."
The children observed for an hour twice a month and recorded with a video camera.
The younger child had 68 crying episodes while the elder child had 34 crying episodes.
The study, which was published in the Infant Behaviour and Development journal, focused on the occurrence of positive and negative emotions in the moments immediately before and after the babies stopped crying.
Negative emotion was defined as when the were infants "were seemingly distressed" while positive emotions were defined as "when infants were seemingly not distressed, or were in a good mood."
While in most cases negative behaviour was observed immediately before and after crying, there were exceptions.
Positive behaviour was observed even just before crying began and also soon after crying stopped. These were crying behaviours that the mother identified as "fake crying" or "emergence of fake crying".
In one instance the younger child was playing with her mother, when the mother moved away (but remained within the infant's sight) from the infant for a short time.
The baby appeared to cry deliberately to get her mother's attention. When she appeared to be successful and the mother returned, the baby smiled.
Fake crying was more easily spotted, according to the researchers, when the babies tended to smile immediately after crying ceased.
The researchers also noted that the younger baby which exhibited more fake crying behaviour was a sibling whereas the other baby was an only child.
The sibling therefore had to compete for her attention according to the research: "Siblings can enrich social interactions at home and increase their variety. Such environmental factors are known to stimulate the development of communication skills of infants."

Chris Brogan's advice for harnessing the power of social media boils down to two simple words: Be helpful.
Too often, he says, companies "push to talk and advertise instead of learning how to listen and build stronger ties to the community," says Brogan, president of Human Business Works and co-author of the best-selling Trust Agents. "People spend too much time worrying about their reputation and not enough time being helpful."
Brogan, who will address the 2012 America's Credit Union Conference June 17-20 in San Diego, reveals how credit unions can reap the benefits of becoming trust agents, the next big thing in social media—and his fascination with Ganesh, the Hindu god of removing obstacles.
CU Mag: How can CUs use the power of the Web and social networks to build trust among their members?
Brogan: Credit unions have such a huge opportunity here. To be the community hub is the real goal of a credit union.
You don't want to store people's money. You want a relationship that goes beyond that.
How do you do that? Be part of the community. Don't make yet another social network inside your website walls. Be where the people are. Connect on Facebook and Twitter and elsewhere.
But on top of that, consider using your email newsletter as a connection hub. Do something where you help others in the community learn about the people who you should praise the most: your members.
CU Mag: How can a CU reap the benefits of becoming a trust agent?
Brogan: Banking is in a horrendous state right now. I have a membership at my credit union, and have since the 1980s, but I also have a commercial bank account for my corporation. I loathe that bank.
You have so many opportunities to earn the disillusioned, the miserable, and those who will grow to really support your credit union simply by earning their attention and trust.
How do you do that? Be helpful. It's the same advice. That advice will never change.
And "helpful" does not mean selling people things. It means helpful. If they need a babysitter, help them find one. I'm not even joking.
CU Mag: Which companies harness social and online networks especially well and what can CUs learn from them?
Brogan: Credit unions can learn by doing. Why wait around and observe other industries?
This is always a tricky question to answer. I can name thousands of businesses who are doing this well because they started back in 2007. Now, over five years later, your role is to build a community of energetic people who see you as the "elbow of every deal," meaning that you help them succeed.
If you must model after someone, pick someone like a hotel. The Colonnade Hotel (@colonnade) in Boston is doing great community work.
CU Mag: What will be the next big thing in social media?
Brogan: Snackable content is already the next big thing. Pinterest is huge already and it just started.
You probably had never really heard or thought much about Instagram until Facebook bought them for a billion dollars. It's huge to consider.
CU Mag: What book is on your nightstand?
Brogan: I'm reading a book about Ganesh, the Hindu god of removing obstacles.
My girlfriend and I are in a band that mixes several thousand-year-old chants with modern music and beats, so we add rock and dance to really old Sanskrit prayers.
This book is fascinating because the Hindu belief of multiple gods is that mostly these are just parts of us—traits that we humanize but that are parts of us—meaning that we are the remover of obstacles. I'm digging it.
CU Mag: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Brogan: I wanted to be a writer. I meant fiction and comic books.

"The Voice" kicked off its fifth season Monday night with a roar, and a reminder that with just the start of a new season and the press of a button, a team's fortunes can change dramatically.
It was also a reminder of the chemistry the four original "Voice" coaches had forged during their three seasons together, before Christina Aguilera and Cee-lo sat out season four to let Shakira and Usher fill in.
"The whole gang's back," Adam Levine observed. "We're like The Beatles, but better."
That second part is debatable, but on Monday, the original four, plus three-time champ Blake Shelton, put that to the test kicking off the season five premiere with a live cover of "I Love Rock and Roll" that left no doubt as to their affections. Adam indulged in a guitar solo, Blake put on his best rock face, Cee-lo crooned and Christina whooped and danced whole-heartedly. There was chemistry in abundance, and no trace of any old inter-coach friction.
Then the coaches got down to business: Selecting the top talent at the tried and true blind auditions, and fighting for the singers in whom they saw the most potential.
First on "The Voice" stage facing four shaded chair backs was Raleigh-bred, black-and-white-clad glam rocker Kat Robichaud, 29, raised on musicals like "Annie" and seasoned from years on the road with her band. She delivered a growling, vibrato-laden take on the Kiki Dee Band's "I've Got the Music in Me" — and audibly kicked it up a notch when Cee-lo, Christina and Blake all turned.
Blake billed himself, rightly, as the unlikely choice, while Christina got personal, asking what instruments she played and praising her passion.
But it was Cee-lo's spitfire tribute that won her over. "It was so original, so new, so fresh, so raw. You more than entertained me, you engulfed me, you set me on fire, I was like, yes, I love her, I want her now, you know what I mean?" he gushed. (His space-age costume bearing a resemblance to those worn by her influence David Bowie circa 1973 must not have hurt, either.)
Kat, with her rockstar rasp and swagger, gave CeeLo his first successful nab of the night. A very different sort of singer — the very next to hit "The Voice" stage — gave him his second.
That would be Caroline Pennell, a shy and wide-eyed 17-year-old from New Jersey who had discovered her love of singing at performing arts camp. She sang "Anything Could Happen" by Ellie Goulding, and while she made no bones about the influence Goulding and other feathery-throated singers like Florence Welch had on her singing, the coaches saw through the emulation.
"I loved it, because it was real. You felt it," Christina said.

News from around the country and around the globe
"I want you to start believing in yourself. You are a badass vocalist, first and foremost," Blake assured her, to her embarrassment and delight.
Again, the CeeLo sales pitch did it. "I believe that we're cut from the same cloth. I believe that we're kindred," he told her. She sided with him. ("He looks like he'd take good care of me, as a person," she explained — no mean feat for a man with all-over head tattoos.)
Next up came Donna Allen, a 54-year-old R&B singer proud of her long list of life accomplishments — she was the first black cheerleader for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, she said, and she was a member of Gloria Estefan's Miami Sound Machine — but eager to tackle the big one: a solo singing career.
Donna took to the stage with an unfettered confidence, a fountain of pink hair extensions and a melisma-filled take on "You Are So Beautiful" that prompted Christina to turn instantly, followed by Adam.
"That voice is like the heavens opening up. I was so moved," Christina said, but even though she warned Donna, "Don't break my heart!" Donna still picked Adam as her coach.
Adam ran onstage and picked her up in a bear hug. "I don't care what age she is, she's fricking incredible," he said.
After that, it was three coach battles into the first night of the blinds, and Christina had lost two of them to her fellow prodigal coach CeeLo, the other to Adam. Her sales pitch, so far, wasn't working. But it would where it counted.
That came courtesy of Matthew Schuler, a Pennsylvania college student and son of two pastors with an earnest love of music supported by his tight-knit family. "I have so many songs in my heart," he said, but it only took one Monday to secure him a spot on "The Voice."
That song would be indie rock band Young the Giant's "Cough Syrup," which earned him the fastest four-chair turn in the history of "The Voice."
Cue the coach fisticuffs.
Still, despite the coaches' clamoring for Matthew on their teams, the flattered belter decided on Christina — to her delight and, she admitted, surprise. "She's gonna fight for me, and she's gonna help me find my voice in this competition," he said.
Next on stage was Nic Hawk, an ebullient theater kid turned hip-hop dance teacher. (He admitted to teaching his students to twerk. "What are you gonna do?" he laughed.) His singing style: Like Amy Winehouse and Jessie J, "but the male version, obviously."
He tackled a tough song he pulled off with aplomb: the hip-hop-styled, rapidfire revenge anthem "Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)" — replete with some improvised name-checks of CeeLo and Christina. But maybe Nic's most memorable performance came with his bold move of hitting on his once and future coach.
"What's going on, handsome?" he said to Adam after the Maroon 5 frontman turned his chair. (CeeLo turned his, too, but Nic's sights were elsewhere.) He said he had his reservations about being on Adam's team. "I don't know if I'll be able to focus, because you're so good-looking!," he said, but ultimately did choose to be on his heartthrob's team.
That left only Blake still with nobody on his team, in a stark reversal of fortunes since his 16-year-old protegee Danielle Bradbery gave him a three-in-a-row streak of "Voice" victories last season. But Blake got his chance when sassy powerhouse country singer Shelbie Z., a beauty pageant alum and stylist, took the stage.
"My music is just a fire inside of me that I've just got to let out," she said. "I'm gonna get on that stage and let that fire out tonight."
And when she did, singing Gretchen Wilson's honkytonk hit "Here for the Party," Blake, CeeLo and Christina all turned, though both the returning coaches knew full well Shelbie would go with Blake.
Next came 33-year-old Josh Logan, who was trying for the first time since he became a parent as a teen to pursue a career as a full-time musician. Performing Alex Clare's "Too Close," his elusive, unique style prompted Blake, Christina and Adam all to turn their chairs.
Despite Adam's praise for his voice and Blake's admission, "I have a man crush on you," Josh chose Christina as his coach, and she vowed not to let him down. "I'm gonna prove this season that I can come through for anybody," she said. Josh had faith in that. "She's very serious," he told Carson Daly backstage.
That left all the coaches with two teammates except Blake, who had one. But on his last press of his button, he didn't win a second. Instead, that coveted contestant went to Adam.
That last contestant to make it onto a team Monday night was James Wolpert, an art school dropout looking to validate his musical dreams (and quit his job at the Apple store) with a successful stint on "The Voice."
James' intensely emotive cover of Jack White's "Love Interruption" earned a chair turn from all four coaches.
"This is where the gloves come off. We're gonna fight tooth and nail about you," CeeLo warned.
Blake praised the character in his voice, admitting he would have expected it to belong to an older, more grizzled man than a fresh-faced young one. Christina bonded with him over their mutual Pittsburgh roots, and declared, "Thank you for showing me why I came back to this show."
But Adam, who had perhaps the least convincing sales pitch (involving some dubious basketball-related logic), won out and walked away from Monday's auditions with three team members. CeeLo and Christina each had two, while Blake had just one.
Along the way, a few talented contestants had to head home disappointed, after taking the stage only to turn no chairs. Among them was down-home Texan country singer Jake Worthington. There was also South Carolina "singing barista" Delvin Choice.
But most painfully of all was Matthew Brea, just 15, who came to love music through his dad's church a capella group and dedicated his singing to his little brother who died as a child. He had sung at Jonathan's funeral.
The charming Atlanta-bred teen didn't prompt any coaches to turn their chairs with his sunny take on the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back." But he did earn praise for his voice.
Visibly deflated, Brea slunk off the stage as the coaches encouraged him to come back to try out again when he was older.
CeeLo found him backstage and tried to reassure him. "I can relate to your pain," he said, noting how he had had to sing at his mom's funeral. "I promise you, don't give up."
"The Voice" returns at 8/7c on Tuesday on NBC.
