I was a little intimidated as I have never made a white sauce before, but to my surprise this came out beautifully. I did make some modifications--I used 3 cups of milk with 1 cup of fat-free half-an-half and increased the flour to 8 tbsp. I do agree that this sauce comes out thick so you may want to cut back on the flour if you prefer a thinner sauce. I combined this with 1/2 cup eggbeaters, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp. Mrs. Dash. I omitted the butter as I feel the sauce didn't need it and also omitted the cheese as this sauce was served over seafood enchiladas. I am so glad to have a recipe for white sauce that doesn't involve a ton of fat and calories...I will make this again. Thanks for posting!
One of the best low-fat white sauces I've tried so far. It was a little too much flour for my taste- I had to add more milk. Next time I will only use 4 Tbsp of flour. The egg gave it a nice, smooth texture. It's a great base recipe. I used it to make a low fat chicken carbonara. Thanks for a great recipe!
Great sauce! I've never used egg substitute to thicken my sauces, and here it works very well. Be very careful not to get too anxious and heat your sauce too fast after you add the egg - you don't want to cook it! Thanks for a great recipe!

A Community Gives Thanks
In the wake of the many incidents lately involving the police across the country, it is nice to know that there are still citizens that care for the brave men and women who protect them. Throughout the country, many have shown their support for their local police men and women and Crest Hill is no different.
Deep down, people do genuinely care about the ones that protect and serve. There has been an influx of support from this community to show they care for those who walk into dangerous situations every day. Many have stopped by police headquarters to shake hands with their local law enforcement officers and even deliver lunches and treats. And it's become contagious.
Hopefully, the support can continue to grow, not only in Crest Hill, but all over the country. Be proud of those who protect you and show your support in a small way by serving them.
The streets of Crest Hill are a little safer now that Deputy Chief Brad Hertzmann is back from Quantico, Virginia. Hertzmann spent 10 weeks this spring at the FBI Headquarters while completing and graduating from the FBI National Academy Program. He spent 2 ½ months with law enforcement officers from all over the country and the world as one of the 213 officers selected for the training.
The 264th Session of the National Academy consisted of men and women from 47 states and the District of Columbia as well as 21 international countries. The training gives these special law enforcement professionals 10 weeks of advanced education in leadership, communication, and fitness training. On average, these officers have 19 years of law enforcement experience and usually return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions.
Not everyone who wears a badge has the opportunity to attend the FBI National Academy Program. Most of the law enforcement officers selected for this unique training are carefully screened and have proven records as professionals within their agencies.
"I applied in 2012 and was not selected to go through the course until spring 2016," says Chief Deputy Hertzmann. "It's an incredible experience. I was able to connect with not only domestic police officers but international police officers as well. I learned so much from going through such high profile cases in forensics, cybercrime, and counter-terrorism."
Training for the program is provided by the FBI Academy instructional staff, Special Agents, and other staff members holding advanced degrees, many of whom are recognized internationally in their fields of expertise.
Crest Hill Chief of Police Dwayne Wilkerson was in complete support of Hertzmann's training. "It's a hard course to get into," says Wilkerson. "There's a long waiting list and it's such a sought after program which is what makes it so prestigious."
Deputy Chief Hertzmann has been on the Crest Hill police force for 17 years. Knowing that he now has the training and knowledge of some the country's most elite gives the community a peaceful feeling.
"We always want to promote continuing education for our police officers to keep up with current trends and changes in our society," Mayor Ray Soliman says. "This distinguished honor will benefit our other officers and our community as a whole."
The graduating officers were represented by the class spokesperson, Donald T. Tuten II, Chief of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office in Jacksonville, Florida. FBI Director James Comey was the principal speaker at the ceremony.
A total of 49,234 graduates now represent the alumni of the FBI National Academy since it began in 1935. For more information about the program visit www.fbi.gov/about-us/training/national-academy.
Sunshine Adorns Annual Lidice Commemoration
Sunny skies and light breezes encompassed the corner of Hosmer Lane and Prairie Avenue on a beautiful June 12 morning. This is the site of Lidice Memorial Park. On this particular Sunday, the commemoration of a small town in the Czech Republic takes place. Although the memories of what happened on June 10, 1942 are horrific, the ceremony was as remarkable as the blue skies that graced the park.
Nearly 150 people from all over the Chicagoland area, and some from the Czech Republic itself, came to memorialize the lives lost during the reign of the WWII Nazi regime in Europe. Few distant relatives and friends of victims sit in the audience teary eyed as they remember their loved ones.
It was 74 years ago that Nazi Germany had destroyed the small village of Lidice, Czechoslovakia, killing 173 adult males and 52 women. The women and children who survived were sent to concentration camps. After the war ended, only 153 women and 17 children returned. Lidice was a very small, quiet agricultural village about 24 km (about 15 miles) northwest of Prague. Today, Lidice has less than 500 residents and houses a few stone ruins of a farmhouse and church as well as a bronze sculpture of the children who died as a result of the massacre. This effigy far outweighs the symbolism and sensitivity most at the Crest Hill ceremony can even imagine.
To open the ceremony at Lidice Memorial Park, John Pritasil, the President of the Czechoslovak American Congress, welcomed those in attendance and thanked them for being a part of the memorial. As the Central District American Sokol posts the waving flags of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the United States, the United Moravian Societies Singers lead the congregation in all three patriotic anthems respectively. Special guest speakers included Klara Moldova, Secretary of the Czechoslovak American Congress, Borek Lizec, Consul General of the Czech Republic, Charlotte "Toni" Brendel, Chair of the Lidice Memorial Service and Vice President of the Phillips Czechoslovak Community Festival in Phillips, Wisconsin, and Vera Wilt, Past President of the Czechoslovak American Congress. Mayor Ray Soliman also recognized the poignancy and importance of the day's affair as he identified some elected officials in the audience. Among the elected officials present were Illinois Senators Pat McGuire and Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, State Representative Natalie Manley, and Will County Executive Larry Walsh. Crest Hill City Officials included Aldermen Scott Dyke and John Vershay, Alderwomen Barb Sklare and Tina Oberlin, and City Clerk Vicki Hackney. Several Crest Hill staff members were also on hand.
The most heart-breaking moment of the observance appeared in the form of children from the T.G. Masaryk Czech School in Cicero, Illinois. These students recited then translated into English poems written by Lidice children in concentration camps. Listeners could feel the intensity and sadness of the words as if they were sitting next to the little ones who had written them; words of children who had wished to live a place where family and friends do not get killed.
However sorrowful the moment, elegance and splendor brought an uplifting spirit as the United Moravian Societies Singers once again reminded everyone the beauty in cultural diversity. The American Sokol retired the colors while members of the ceremony and those in attendance had the opportunity to mingle and learn about each other and Lidice. Alderwoman Tina Oberlin who is the Chair and organizer of the Lidice Memorial is hoping for a grander event in 2017, the 75th Anniversary of the Lidice remembrance. Crest Hill is one of only two locations in the United States that has a memorial to Lidice. The other is in Phillips, Wisconsin. More about the Crest Hill Lidice Memorial can be found at here.
Crest Hill Holds Annual Memorial Day Ceremony
May 30, 2016 marks Memorial Day for the entire country. As most are preparing for a bbq or a day of fun with family and friends, the City of Crest Hill holds its annual Memorial Day Ceremony. The festivities began at the Crest Hill Memorial Garden at City Hall as Mayor Ray Soliman welcomes Crest Hill veterans and residents. For the 28th consecutive year, Anna Mae Lukancic finds the energy to sing out "God Bless America" and "America the Beautiful."
It is always a bittersweet day as the crowd is reminded of the ultimate sacrifice made by those who gave their lives while the Frankfort Brass Band flawlessly performs the "Armed Services Medley" and "Stars and Stripes Forever." The guest speakers for the day's event included Scott Pointon, veteran of the United States Marine Corp. and Director of the White Oak Library District as well as 3rd District Congressman Daniel Lipinski.
Crest Hill's very own Chief of Police Dwayne Wilkerson and Deputy Police Chief Ed Clark assist Betty Nink and Sue Simenson in the laying of the Police Memorial Wreath. Both James Nink and Timothy Simeson were the only policemen in Crest Hill's nearly 60 years who died in the line of duty.
The most sobering moment of the ceremony comes as Michael Creasey and Kyle Goron carry out "Taps" while the final tribute of the 21 Gun Salute is given by American Legion Post 1080.
Among those in attendance were Crest Hill Aldermen and Veterans Charles Convery and Tom Inman of the 4th Ward as well as many Crest Hill and other area residents.
A strong nation remembers the sacrifice of its Veterans.

The mountain lion is often seen as a formidable cat, it's highly adaptive and found in almost every major ecosystem in North and South America. These traits are what Apple is going for with its next version of OS X, Mountain Lion. With a scheduled release a few months from now, there are a number of features that will give small businesses the opportunity to roar.
Here are four features of Mountain Lion that small business employees will find useful:
Enhanced communication and social media
If you use OS X to access and monitor your social media accounts you'll be interested to know that you'll have the ability to post directly to Twitter from various apps. If you use iChat, it will be renamed: Messages. With it, you'll be able to send messages, pictures and videos to other iChat/Messages users, regardless of the device. This could be a beneficial external and internal collaboration tool due to the growing amount of Apple users.
AirPlay mirroring
If you or someone in your company gives a lot of presentations, Macs running Mountain Lion will have the ability to wirelessly broadcast whatever is being shown on the screen. To share your screen with an HDTV or Projector, you'll need to have an Apple TV box. It works by streaming content to the TV box which is connected via an HDMI cord to the TV or projector.
Security is top-of-mind for companies these days, and Gatekeeper is an extra level that businesses can implement. Its purpose is to restrict the apps that can be downloaded and installed on your computer. While many businesses should have measures like this in place, this app can act as another layer to ensure an even more secure organization.
Possibly the biggest trend in small business computing is the integration of cloud storage. Apple's cloud storage service, iCloud, will play a prominent role in Mountain Lion, especially for businesses. With this feature, employees will be able to access data stored in the cloud using Apple's different devices. Any changes made to documents stored in the cloud will be automatically updated in realtime, without the user having to save and update.
Mountain Lion is shaping up to be one of the best versions of OS X to date. There are numerous features that users will find appealing, and many businesses are eager for the retail release. A word of warning though, while a version of Mountain Lion is available to download, it's an unfinished product and as such, we recommend that you hold off from installing it onto your business's computers. If you'd like to prepare your systems for the OS, please contact us.

A community came together for a candle light vigil in Lancaster County after a fire claimed the lives of a woman and her six-year-old niece.
The four-alarmer broke out just before 4:30 Monday morning. When all was said and done, three firefighters were injured, one critically. And a family was left mourning two lives lost.
The makeshift memorial on the steps of a burnt out home was for the woman who lived there, Pauline Stone and her niece.
Neighbors said Pauline was the loud neighbor everyone loved, who yelled at cars going too fast down the one way street.
She was also the woman yelling out the window, "I can't breathe."
Neighbors near Madison Street in Lancaster said it was too much to hear the screams coming from the house on fire in the 200 block.
"It's a sad thing," said Migdalia Malave, "I'm sitting here crying and it wasn't even my child, but to hear that and to know that they were screaming in there. It's sad."
Malave saw the fire early Monday morning.
"Out of all the windows there was just black smoke coming out," said Malave, "And then you finally see the flames coming out of it where like there was a fireman there."
Three firefighters were injured trying to get to the trapped woman and child in the front bedroom on the second floor.
"There was a fireman there. He went through the roof right there fell on the floor, and another fireman he was on fire, his whole suit, everything," said Malave.
The chief of the Lancaster Fire Department said one firefighter was flown to the hospital for burns. Two others were treated and released.
"They're not going to make it. If that fireman that's coming out like that," said Malave.
Stone and her niece, 6-year-old Lelany Roman, didn't make it. And neighbors remembered them hours later at a candlelight vigil on the steps they never reached.
But two family members did make it out, Pauline's brother and nephew.
"They were just crying, 'Get her out. Get her out,'" said Malave.
And they weren't alone in their desperation, wanting to help Pauline and Lelany.
"The little kids that lived here and they're crying," said Malave, "And they're saying, 'Get her out,' calling her name. It's just like oh my God," said Malave.
Pauline's other brother, the one who wasn't home at the time, could hardly speak when he lit a candle in honor of his sister and niece Monday night.
He did say the injured firefighters were heroes for trying to save his family.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Firefighters told Pauline's brother, the second floor collapsed and they found Pauline hugging Lelany with Lelany's head in her aunt's chest.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention pertains to reflector antennas, and more particularly, to wide bandwidth antennas that use "sheet"-type reflectors for use with television and FM receivers.
2. Background of Invention
With the introduction of high definition television (HDTV), there is a need to provide wide bandwidth antennas that increase signal directivity (the ability to capture signals sent from a particular direction) while rejecting reflections of that signal that bounce off of surrounding structures which cause "ghosting" due to phase delays. In addition, there is a need for such wide bandwidth antennas for use with UHF reception as well as FM receivers.
Conventional "sheet"-type reflectors are categorized as parabolic-based, spherical-based, or corner-based reflective elements; FIGS. 10-15 of the present application depict these general categories of "sheet"-type reflectors and are taken from "Antenna Theory and Design", by Warren L. Stutzman and Gary A. Thiele, 1981, p. 483, and which is incorporated by reference herein. Thus, traditional categories of "sheet"-type reflectors do not teach nor suggest the use of right-circular cylinder based reflector sheets.
The following U.S. patents disclose various implementations of these "sheet"-type reflectors:
U.S. Pat. No. 2,943,326 (Thayer) discloses television antennas that utilize two conductive, semi-circular strips 1-4 that adhere to the outside surface of non-conductive antenna elements (see FIGS. 8-9 of the present application). However, in FIG. 8 neither strip 1 nor strip 2 have a concave side that is being used as a signal directing means; in fact, the concave sides of these strips 1 and 2 are electrically inoperative since they adhere to a non-conductor element 5. Similarly, in FIG. 9, the concave side of strip 3 is also electrically inoperative in that it adheres to a non-conductor element 7; and although the concave side 6 of the strip 4 is exposed to free space, it cannot act to direct an incoming signal onto the other conductive strip 3.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,603,749 (Kock) discloses a lens antenna for a circularwaveguide.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,020,032 (Fessenden) discloses an antenna that includes a horizontal reflector 27.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,118,419 (Scharlau) discloses a paraboloid reflector.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,153,589 (Peterson) discloses a transmitting antenna that utilizes a full cylindrical reflector.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,608,658 (Richards) discloses a television receiving antenna that utilizes two pieces of conductive material having a parabolic surface.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,831,187 (Harris) discloses a radio direction finding system that utilizes a hyperbolic reflector that is generally described as a "convex reflector".
Since it is ideal to position such antennas outside for best reception, de-icing and anti-icing mechanisms for these antennas are provided with these antennas, such as those disclosed in the following U.S. patents:
U.S. Pat. No. 2,712,604 (Thomas, Jr. et al.) discloses an antenna assembly with a de-icing means that basically comprises a plurality of circumferentially-spaced, vertically-extending heating elements consisting of high resistance wire positioned between laminations of a radome surface surrounding the radiating element. U.S. Pat. No. 2,760,191 (Blackmer et al.) also discloses a de-icing means for a cylindrical antenna. U.S. Pat. No. 4,126,864 (Hopkins) discloses an ice shield for a microwave antenna. U.S. Pat. No. 5,010,350 (Lipkin et al.) discloses an anti-icing and de-icing system for a reflector-type microwave antenna. U.S. Pat. No. 5,528,249 (Gafford et al.) discloses an anti-ice radome that uses slotted elements.
The following U.S. patents disclose the use of helical-wound receiving elements: U.S. Pat. No. 1,495,537 (Stafford); U.S. Pat. No. 2,583,745 (Miller); U.S. Pat. No. 2,613,319 (Lisbin); U.S. Pat. No. 2,636,986 (Riderman); U.S. Pat. No. 2,682,608 (Johnson); U.S. Pat. No. 3,052,883 (Rogers); U.S. Pat. No. 3,417,403 (Fenwick); U.S. Pat. No. 3,521,289; U.S. Pat. No. 3,683,393 (Self); U.S. Pat. No. 3,774,221(Francis, deceased); U.S. Pat. No. 3,902,178 (Majkrzak); U.S. Pat. No. 4,161,737 (Albright); U.S. Pat. No. 4,204,212 (Sindoris et al.); U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,900 (Krall et al.); U.S. Pat. No. 4,205,318 (Pisano); U.S. Pat. No. 5,587,719 (Steffy) and U.S. Des. 153,825 (Riderman).
However, none of these references appear to teach or suggest increasing the directivity of signal reception while minimizing the number of delayed replicas of the transmitted primary signal (i.e., ghosting), such as is required for high definition television (HDTV) reception, by utilizing at least one arc segment of a hollow right-circular-cylinder reflector in combination with a di-pole receiving element.
Accordingly, it is the general object of this invention to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a television and/or FM receiver antenna that creates a finite range of reception from a given direction.
It is still yet another object of the present invention to provide an antenna that increases the directivity of signal reception.
It is still yet another object of the present invention to provide an antenna that minimizes the number of delayed replicas of the transmitted primary signal, i.e., ghosting.
It is still yet another object of the present invention to provide an antenna for reception of high definition television (HDTV) signals.
It is still even yet another object of the present invention to provide an antenna that reduces HDTV receiver locking occurrences due to ghosting.
It is even yet another object of the present invention to provide an improved very high frequency (VHF) receiving antenna.
It is still yet even a further object of the present invention to provide an improved ultra high frequency (UHF) receiving antenna.
It is still yet even a further object of the present invention to provide a substitute for Yagi-Uda antennas.
It is still even another object of the present invention to provide a substitute for conventional "rabbit ear" antennas.
It is still yet another object of the present invention to provide a substitute for conventional UHF loop antennas.
It is even yet another object of the present invention to provide a substitute for conventional FM receiver antennas.
It is even yet another object of the present invention to enhance a receiver's frontto-back ratio.
These and other objects of the instant invention are achieved by providing a wideband receiver antenna adapted to be coupled to a receiver for receiving wirelessly transmitted signals (e.g., high definition television (HDTV) signals, ultra-high frequency (UHF) signals, frequency modulated (FM) radio signals, etc.). The antenna comprises: (a) a receiving element; and (b) a right-circular cylinder (RCC)-based reflector. The RCC-based reflector forms at least one arc segment of a hollow RCC having a predetermined radius. The RCC-based reflector comprises a convex side and a concave side wherein the concave side forms signal directing means and the convex side forms signal reflecting means.
These and other objects of the instant invention are also achieved by providing a method for receiving wide bandwidth signals (e.g., high definition television (HDTV) signals, ultra-high frequency (UHF) signals, frequency modulated (FM) radio signals, etc.) transmitted wirelessly for use by a receiver. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a receiving element; (b) positioning a reflector that comprises at least one arc segment of a right-circular-cylinder (RCC) at a distance away from the receiving element that is given by the radius of the RCC, with a concave side formed by the reflector facing the receiving element; and (c) electrically coupling the receiving element to the receiver.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:

FIG. 17 is a depiction of a right-circular cylinder-based reflector having a composite arc segment configuration; and
FIG. 18 is a depiction of a right-circular cylinder-based reflector having a single arc segment configuration.
Referring now in detail to the various figures of the drawing wherein like reference characters refer to like parts, there is shown at 20 a di-pole wide bandwidth antenna (hereinafter "DWBA") which is designed for, and capable of, effectively receiving frequencies between 50 MHz and 850 MHz. This frequency range corresponds to signals which fall within the Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) bands. In terms of channels, this covers broadcast TV channels 2-69 and broadcast FM radio band.
In particular, the DWBA 20 comprises a receiving element 22 and a reflector 24. The receiving element 22 also comprises an antenna connector 26 (FIGS. 6 and 6A) and electrical cable 28 (e.g., coax cable) that couples to the television (or FM receiver) connector (not shown) to bring the received signal to the television set (or FM receiver, neither of which are shown). For ideal reception, the DWBA 20 is mounted outside of the home, building, etc. To support the DWBA 20 outside, mounting brackets 30 are secured to respective ends of the receiving element 22. These brackets 30 are then releasably coupled to a mast 32 via securing means (e.g., bolts 34/nuts, etc.). The mast 32 has a central coupling member 36 that receives a mast pole 38 and is the mast 32 is then releasably secured to the pole 38 via securing means (e.g., bolts 40/nuts 42). The mast pole 38 can be attached to a chimney, roof or any other outside structure (none of which is shown).
The receiving element 22 of the DWBA 20 comprises a di-pole configuration, i.e., two opposing elements 44A and 44B (FIG. 2) that are electrically connected to the input points of a circuit board 46, all of which are contained inside a cover 48 (e.g., an ultraviolet (UV) stable polymer or plastic, or other similar environmental barrier to protect the receiving element 22). In particular, the receiving element 22 comprises a single, hollow, non-conductive support 50 (FIG. 7, e.g., PVC tubing), with the circuit board 46 positioned inside the support 50. The inside diameter 54 (FIG. 7) of the support 50 is approximately 1.0". Each di-pole element 44A/44B is formed by a metallic foil strip 52 (e.g., 1.0" wide and 0.001" thick, adhesive Cu foil tape manufactured by 3M�) that is spirally wound around the support 50. In addition, the metallic foil strip of di-pole element 44A is wound in opposite sense to the metallic foil strip of di-pole element 44B; i.e., one di-pole element is a right-hand helix and the other di-pole element is a left-hand helix.
The spacing between turns of the helices is constant (e.g., 0.03", constant pitch) and is held to a minimum without making contact with one another. The uncoiled length of each helix is approximately 5.7 feet. Although wrapping the metallic foil strip 52 around the support 50 is one method of creating the helices, an alternative method uses an electroplating process for creating the helices by embedding metallic particles on the support.
The end 53 of the metallic foil strip 52 for each di-pole element 44A/44B is electrically connected (e.g., soldered 56) to respective inputs of the circuit board 46, as shown most clearly in FIG. 7. Although not shown, the circuit board 46 may contain an amplifier, or balun, etc., for amplifying or otherwise properly conditioning the received signal; each end 53 of each metallic foil strip 52 is electrically coupled to a respective input of the amplifier, balun or other electrical signal-conditioning device on the circuit board 46. The output of the circuit board 46 is then fed through a conductor means 58 (e.g., a printed wire board (PWB), or a coax cable, etc.) to the antenna connector 26.
The reflector 24 comprises a totally unique design in that it is comprises arc segments of a right-circular cylinder, as will be discussed in detail later. Suffice it to say that the receiving element 22 is positioned a distance of ρ (FIGS. 4-5) away from the reflector 24, where ρ is the radius of the right-circular cylinder.
Since one of the leading environmental effects on the reflector 24 includes wind loading, the reflector 24 comprises a plurality of oval perforations 60 that permit the wind to pass through the reflector 24. The size of the perforations is given by the following standard: the maximum dimension of the perforation (i.e., diameter if it is a circle, major axis if it is an oval) is no longer than 1/100 of the wavelength of the highest frequency received.
The reflector 24 is coupled to the receiving element 22 via end couplings 62 and 64. These couplings 62 and 64 are designed to separate the concave side 66 of the reflector 24 from the center of the receiving element 22 by the distance p, discussed previously. To minimize any interference with the reflector 24 operation, these end couplings 62 and 64 comprise a non-conductive material (e.g., ABS plastic). To maximize the exposure of the concave side 66 of the reflector 24 opposite the receiving element 22, the end couplings 62/64 are coupled (e.g., glued, fastened, etc.) to the convex side 68 via respective coupling surfaces 70 and 72 (most clearly shown in FIG. 3). It is also within the broadest scope of the present invention to include a reflector having end couplings that are unitized with the reflector 24 so that the end couplings form a smooth continuous surface with the reflector (i.e., the coupling surfaces 70/72 are integral with the reflector 24) while retaining their non-conductive composition.
Each end of the reflector 24 is mounted to the ends of the receiving element 22 via the end couplings 62/64 and respective mounting assemblies 74 and 76. The reflector mounting assembly 74 is depicted in an exploded condition in FIG. 6. In particular, the assembly 74 comprises one end of the cover 48. An O-ring 78 seats inside the end of the cover 48 and through which one end of the di-pole element 44A protrudes. A cover bracket 80 slips over the end of the di-pole element 44A and is threadedly engaged inside the cover 48. A hole 82 in the end coupling 62 is aligned with the opening 84 in the bracket 80. A locking ring 86 is aligned with the hole 82 and includes a locking screw 88, which will be discussed later. A cradle member 90 having an inner passage 92 is aligned with the opening in the ring 86. The conductor means 58 (e.g., a PWB shown in FIGS. 6 and 6A), which is electrically coupled to the electrical connector 26 (e.g., type-F, female connector), passes through all of the previously mentioned components to connect to the circuit board 46, as discussed earlier. A keyed shaft 94 receives and captures the electrical connector 26 via an internal aperture 96 (FIG. 7); the keyed shaft 94 fits into the cradle member 90. An annular ring 98 on the outside surface of the keyed shaft 94 includes a hole 100 through which an adjustment screw 102 passes for securing the keyed shaft 94 to another hole 101 in the cradle member 90. The locking screw 88 passes through an opening 104 in the locking ring 86 and engages an opening 106 in the outside surface of the keyed shaft 94. A seal 108 slips over the electrical connector 26 that protrudes from the keyed shaft 94. A plug 110, which is electrically coupled to the electrical cable 28, fits snugly over the end of the electrical connector 26 (and thereby establishes a proper electrical coupling) and protrudes through an end cap 112. The end cap 112 closes off the mounting assembly 74.
Suffice it to say that the reflector mounting assembly 76 is similar to the reflector mounting assembly 74 except that it does not comprise the electrical connector 26, connector means 58, keyed shaft 94 and plug 110, and, as such, will not be further discussed.
As mentioned earlier, the reflector 24 is a totally unique design in that it comprises arc segments of a hollow right-circular cylinder (hereinafter "RCC"). This can be most clearly seen in FIG. 18, where this RCC-based reflector, hereinafter known as reflector 124, is a 1/4 arc segment of a hollow RCC having a radius ρ and defined by the arc α (i.e., 1/4 of a circle). The x-axis and y-axis shown in FIG. 18 are perpendicular with respect to each other. This RCC-based reflector 124 is then positioned a distance ρ (FIG. 5) from the receiving element 22; in particular, the concave side 166 is placed a distance ρ from the center of the receiving element 22. As shown in FIG. 16, the concave side 166 thus acts as signal directing means, directing the signals (TS) emitted from a remote transmitter (not shown) in the desired frequency range onto the receiving element 22, while the convex side 168 acts as signal reflecting means, reflecting away (from the receiving element 22) those signals (RS) in the desired frequency range that have been reflected off of surrounding structures, vehicles, etc., that would normally cause ghosting. Thus, this RCC-based reflector 124 is novel and unobvious in light of the prior art which heretofore comprises parabolic-based, spherical-based, or corner-based reflective elements (FIGS. 10-15, discussed previously). This RCC-based reflector 124 establishes a finite range of reception from a given direction, increases the directivity of signal reception, and minimizes the number of delayed replicas of the transmitted primary signal, i.e., ghosting. In addition to its use in HDTV reception, another preferable use of the reflector 124 is for a UHF receiver.
That being understood, the reflector 24 comprises a composite arc segment configuration, as most clearly shown in FIG. 17. In particular, the reflector 24 (depicted without the perforations 60 for clarity) comprises end portions 114 and 116 that are based on the arc a segment and which then taper, linearly, upward (thereby forming intermediate portions 120 and 122) as one moves toward the center 118 which is a 1/2 arc segment of a hollow RCC having a radius of ρ and defined by the arc β (i.e., 1/2 of a circle). Each x-axis and y-axis shown in FIG. 17 are perpendicular with respect to each other. As an example, if the length of the reflector 24 shown in FIG. 17 were approximately 36 inches (and the RCC being used has a ρ of 4 inches), the center portion 118 may have a length of 14 inches; thus the reflector 24 would have ends that comprise arc a segments (i.e., 1/4 arc segments of a hollow RCC) that taper upward for approximately 11 inches in towards the center portion 118 until the arc β segment (i.e., 1/2 arc segment of a hollow RCC) is reached. This composite configuration of reflector 24 is preferably directed to HDTV operation based on the HDTV frequency allocation, namely the UHF band; the 180� portion (i.e., the center portion 118) may improve the directivity of the receiving element 22 in the desired frequency range.
It should be understood that the reflector 24 surface is a smooth continuous surface and that as the taper of the intermediate sections 120/122 increases from the ends 114/116 to the center portion 118, there is no corner or edge formed on the concave side 66 nor on the convex side 68.
Another leading environmental effect on the reflector 24 is icing. Although not shown, icing may be controlled in several ways, but a preferred method utilizes resistive heating, i.e., applying direct current (DC) to the reflector 24 and monitoring its temperature by switching the current on/off using an inexpensive, solid-state temperature sensor that is mounted on the reflector 24 itself. The DC may be tapped from the circuit board 46 (e.g., if an amplifier were used on the circuit board 46, the amplifier's power source could provide the DC).
It is within the broadest scope of this invention to include a solid non-conductive support (as opposed to a hollow support 50 discussed earlier), although it should be understood that both material composition and thickness contribute to deviations from the ideal (an air support) performance.
Without further elaboration, the foregoing will so fully illustrate our invention that others may, by applying current or future knowledge, readily adopt the same for use under various conditions of service.

O Master and holy God, who are beyond our understanding: at your word, light came forth out of darkness. In your mercy, you gave us rest through night-long sleep, and raised us up to glorify your goodness and to offer our supplication to You. Now, in your own tender love, accept us who adore You and give thanks to You with all our heart. Grant us all our requests, if they lead to salvation; give us the grace of manifesting that we are children of light and day, and heirs to your eternal reward. In the abundance of your mercies, O Lord, remember all your people; all those present who pray with us; all our brethren on land, at sea, or in the air, in every place of Your domain, who call upon your love for mankind. Upon all, pour down your great mercy, that we, saved in body and in soul, may persevere unfailingly; and that, in our confidence, we may extol your exalted and blessed Name, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, always, now and forever. Amen.

The Google Blog just posted the independent study on their click fraud detection practices that shows Google makes reasonable efforts to detect click fraud. The report was part of an agreement of the Lane's Gifts v. Google settlement and was performed by Dr. Alexander Tuzhilin, Professor of Information Systems at NYU. Obviously Google is pretty happy about this report and I didn't have time to go through the full 47 page report, but if you have time, I bet you as Search Engine Marketer can learn a ton about the AdWords system. Possibly, Danny will dig into this deeper next week.

On this date in 1891, Jose Manuel Balmaceda, president of the Republic of Chile, died at the end of a civil war. He was born circa 1838 (one source reports 1840), and was educated at the Jesuit Seminary in Santiago. Rejecting Roman Catholicism, Balmaceda founded the anti-clerical Reform Club in 1868. He became part of the Chilean congress in the 1870s, and led the anti-clerical Liberals. In 1882, as Minister of the Interior during the presidency of Domingo Santa Maria, Balmaceda used his powers to oppose Church strangleholds on the law, passing a divorce law and other reforms. Balmaceda was president from 1886 to 1890. His rule, which became increasingly autocratic during a constitutional conflict, brought on a civil war. He committed suicide at the Argentine embassy. D. 1891.

Perception of Amplitude Modulation in Harmonic Complexes
The results of research on the perception of amplitude modulation for single components in harmonic complexes are presented. The experiment was done for multitones containing 3, 5, and 9 components with 256 Hz as a fundamental frequency; and 2-, 70-, and 200-Hz sinusoids were the modulating signals.

For higher modulating frequency, AM perception depends significantly on the number of modulated content.
