Currently, influenza is classified as a non-reportable disease, meaning that it does not have to be reported to the local Medical Officer of Health.
Currently, influenza is classified as a non-reportable disease, meaning that it does not have to be reported to the local Medical Officer of Health. The only time it must be reported is when a child under 18 dies from it.
"Because of its classification, it can be hard to have data on the flu," Steven Childers, a registered nurse at the Ford County Health Department said in an interview Monday. "However, I do know of one case of influenza A this season."
Childers said that the flu is even harder to track because most people will try and treat the flu on their own, without seeing a doctor and confirming that what they have is in fact the flu.
Not having data on the flu is actually a good thing, it means that there isn't an outbreak in this area, and people are staying healthy.
Just because there's only been one reported case so far however, doesn't mean Ford County residents are safe just yet. Childers stresses that it's still important to wash hands thoroughly, cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough, avoid close contact with those that are sick. If you do get the flu, stay home from work or school to avoid getting others sick and to get a flu vaccine if you haven't yet.
Although there are still several months of 'flu season' left, so far this year there have been slightly more visits to Influenza-like Illness (ILI) Net Sites (this can be any heath care facility that treats the flu) than in previous years. This is looking at data from across the state. This data and other information about influenza is available at http://www.kdheks.gov/flu/surveillance.htm.
"Although we've only had one reported case of the flu in Ford County, there's probably been more cases that just haven't been reported," Childers said. "I think this one case is just the tip of the iceberg, and people need to continue to take care of themselves throughout the season so they don't get sick."

Henley, Langley tied atop Sony leaderboard
Associated Press
PGA Tour rookies Russell Henley and Scott Langley will play one more round together at the Sony Open, this time with a trophy and a Masters invitation at stake.
Henley two-putted from 30 feet for birdie on the last hole for a 3-under 67. That gave him a share of the lead with Langley, who had a 65. They set the tournament scoring record through 54 holes at 17-under 193 and had a three-shot lead over Tim Clark.
Henley and Langley each have a chance to become the first rookies to win in their PGA Tour debut since Garrett Willis at the 2001 Tucson Open.
Clark made birdie on the 18th hole for a 66. Otherwise, the final group would have had three rookies. Scott Gardiner was another shot back.
Volvo Champions
DURBAN, South Africa
Scott Jamieson of Scotland had a 4-under 68 and took a five-shot lead in the Volvo Champions, while Louis Oosthuizen faded in the third round at Durban Country Club on Saturday.
Jamieson began the day a stroke behind the former British Open champion, but finished with a 15-under total to lead Oosthuizen (74), Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand (73) and Julien Quesne of France (67).
Padraig Harrington (67) and Francesco Molinari (68) were another two strokes back in the event for European Tour winners.
Jamieson won his first European Tour title a month ago in the season-opening Nelson Mandela Championship. Now he's one round away from earning the "Durban Double.
"It's been another great day. While I didn't play as well as I did the first two days, especially yesterday from tee to green, I managed to score well, which is the main thing," Jamieson said. "So I'm delighted to be in the position I'm in.
"The experience of winning the Nelson Mandela in a playoff under the extreme pressure with a first European Tour title on the line gave me a lot of confidence that I've taken into this week."
Jamieson had an eagle on the par-5 eighth hole after landing the ball 5 feet from the hole with a 5-iron for 198 yards. He also birdied three straight holes from the 11th.
For three days, Jamieson has competed against some of the bigger names in golf.
He played the first round with Harrington and finished a shot ahead of the Irishman. On day two, he was six shots better than Thomas Bjorn, and was six strokes better Saturday than crowd favorite Oosthuizen, who had four bogeys on the front nine.
"You always have your eye out, comparing yourself to them," Jamieson said. "But yeah, I managed to beat them through the week, so that was nice."

This morning Brian Ward and I recorded Episode 49 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience. It was a busy week in the news: Supreme Court decisions, immigration, the George Zimmerman trial. We covered it all. We also had as a guest Dr. Helen Smith, Mrs. InstaPundit, to talk about her new book Men on Strike: Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream – and Why It Matters. Helen was a terrific guest, and the book has made a strong impact. We caught up with her at her hotel in New York, where she has been promoting the book.
Add not just one, but two Loons of the Week, plus This Week In Gatekeeping, and it was a very full, and I think very entertaining, episode.
You can listen to the podcast by playing it right here, or you can go to Ricochet to download or subscribe to the podcast in various ways, or you can hit the subscribe button in the graphic above to subscribe on iTunes or elsewhere. Or you can use Stitcher. There are many ways to experience the Hinderaker-Ward Experience, but I think the best is by subscribing on iTunes. That way, you never have to worry about missing an episode.

The season of good intentions
January is a special month. It is a month of hope, promise, and fulfi llment of dreams. It is that time of year when success is just around the corner, and people are confident that failure has abandoned their vocabularies.
This year is an inauguration year, making it extra special. Promises made will be synonymous with promises kept, and all will be well with the world in the very near future.
Yes, resolutions have been made, and the season of good intentions is off to an auspicious beginning.
Those who vowed to stop smoking, drinking, cursing at bad drivers and eating fatty foods are enjoying resounding success. Obesity, bad diet, inappropriate behavior and poisoning the world with unnecessary pollutants are all things of the past. After all, those who made and announced their resolutions so the entire world knows their good intentions, have stuck to their promises for . . . Hmmm . . . seven days. Amazing, don'tcha think?
If week number one of the New Year were used as a yardstick, Lane Bryant and Big Shops for Men will be hitting the skids in about three months. The tobacco companies will be seeking bailout money along with the sugar industry, baking industry and every fast food franchise on the planet.
People will be courteous while driving. Road rage will be non-existent. More people will smile and raise their index finger instead of... you know . . . that other one, when small insignificant occurrences cause them minor inconvenience.
I have not resolved to do anything to improve my life on New Year's Day for several decades. Making promises that are close to impossible to keep does not make sense. I see no reason to put myself through that much guilt.
People committed to changing their lives for the better do not pick New Year's Day to start. Whenever they find something out of order they just do something about it. Those who have that kind of emotional fortitude and perseverance at the core of their personalities do not have to make a big deal about changing course when the need arises. They are disciplined, and they just do it.
I believe most would agree with me. People like that are disturbed. They are not normal. I actually know two people who are like that, and believe me, they are not happy.
Think about it for a minute. A person who is not overweight, does not smoke, does not drink or drinks in moderation, exercises daily, and does not get upset about petty annoyances, has nothing to look forward to. Every day is the same to them. They must be bored to the max.
Life will never get better for them. These unfortunate people have reached their peak and are maintaining the status quo for the remainder of their natural lives. How sad.
People who have all of that annoying discipline inadvertently set examples for those around them and quietly drive everyone in their lives crazy. They tool around in their fuel-efficient cars, floss after every meal, eat to live instead of the other way around, and they are generally dedicated to their careers. I would think they are so perfect that finding a mate to match all of those qualities must be difficult. Besides, everybody they know just wants to slap them.
Could you imagine what life would be like if we did not have the diet industry? If you think we're in a recession now, without the calorie counting companies, millions more would be out of work.
I think attempts at drastically changing our lives are not particularly good for our psyche, our selfesteem, and are probably harmful to the economy.
I look forward to bake sales, pie eating contests, visiting with friends at the local tavern, barbecues in the summer time, and birthday parties with ice cream and cake. In about four months, when all of those people who made resolutions are pressed by their doubting friends to account for their successes, some explaining is going to be required.
Everyone who did not succeed will come crashing down big time and the good intentions from the beginning of the year will be quickly forgotten. It happens every April. Those who made resolutions must come to terms with their failures.
A feeding frenzy will consume those who had every intention of losing weight. The nicotine fanatics will be smoking up a storm, and those who swore to be more tolerant of others will just lose it.
The point is, since we all live in this crazy system that we don't understand, we may as well enjoy it. If you want a make a resolution, resolve to do whatever it takes to be happy.

There are a number of common warnings and other messages which you might get in the driver updating procedure, a number of which I've paraphrased and listed here together with guidance on what you can do:
QUESTION: I just reset my Windows ten and all of my third celebration programs removed.Now i never have VAIO manage center and i could n't uncover a setup acceptable for my vaio model. (SVF1531GSG) I attempted control center for other models but there is just a number of functionality. I do not get any update via VAIO update application. and also i could n't install setups which put on my model assistance page because those are updates patch, not the plain setup.I seriously demands vaio handle center for the reason that my laptop attributes like fast awake or image high quality are gone.
ANSWER: The original drivers for this model SVF1531GSG are situated at Sony's Official Web page, you need to to set up Sony Shared Library and Hotkey Utilities to acquire the Vaio Control Center then set up the updates around the very same web page. You can not set up the Vaio Handle Center from unique model. You could possibly also run DriverTuner to download the Sony drivers and Windows Update for Microsoft drivers.

Lawmakers advance Neb. wrongful-conviction payout
Lawmakers advance Neb. wrongful-conviction payout
OMAHA, Neb. —
A man who spent nearly 14 years in a Nebraska prison for a murder he did not commit is on pace to receive $500,000 from the state.
Lawmakers gave first-round approval Friday to the payout for Darrel Parker. Parker was wrongfully convicted in the 1955 killing of his wife in their Lincoln home.
A federal appeals court overturned his conviction in 1969, saying his confession was coerced. Parker was paroled, and later received a full pardon after another man confessed to the murder.
Parker filed a lawsuit against the state. Last year, Attorney General Jon Bruning conceded Parker's innocence and announced that his office would not fight the claim.
The 81-year-old Parker now lives in Moline, Ill.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (April 25, 2010) - After being held to only one-hit in a 3-0 loss in game one, the Lady Bucs had revenge on their minds in the nightcap against USC Upstate Sunday afternoon. However, with ETSU leading 2-0 through five innings, the Spartans scored four runs in the sixth and USC Upstate capped off the sweep with a 4-2 victory from Cyrill Stadium.
The Lady Bucs, who were looking to play spoilers by ruining the Spartans' chance of making the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament next month, dropped to 18-34, 5-15. Meanwhile, Upstate improved to 35-12, 10-8.
Morgan Childers outlasted junior Jessica Duncan (Ooltewah, Tenn.) in a classic pitcher's duel as the Spartan hurler tossed her 14th shutout of the season (eighth career one-hitter) and USC Upstate took game one, 3-0.
Childers improved to 29-5 after tossing the one-hit blanking while striking out nine. Duncan suffered the loss (8-8) despite allowing three runs on six hits in 5.2 innings.
Both teams were held scoreless for the first five and a half innings, but pinch hitter Jenna Torbert led off the bottom of the sixth with a solo shot, and that would be all the offense Childers would need to earn the win. The Spartans tacked on two more runs to extend their lead to, 3-0.
ETSU put two runners on in the second when Childers lost command by plunking Katie Henderson (Jackson, Tenn.) and Sam Lower (Sebring, Fla.) with one out in the inning. However, Childers retired the next two Lady Buccaneer hitters she faced to stop any scoring chance.
Duncan was also dealing in the circle for the Blue and Gold as she faced one over the minimum through the first three innings, and the Lady Bucs again put a runner in scoring position in the top of the fourth. With one out, senior Trisha Massenzo (Russellville, Tenn.) broke up the no-hit bid with a single to left, and advanced to second on Henderson's sac-bunt. Unfortunately, with Massenzo standing on second, Childers got Lower to hit into an inning-ending ground out.
The Lady Bucs put their fourth runner on when Schneider worked a two-out walk in the sixth, but after only having one Spartan runner reach second through the first five innings, Duncan hit a wall in the sixth. Torbert became the first Upstate runner to get past second when she homered to lead off the inning - and the Spartans went up 3-0 - chasing Duncan from the circle.
The three runs held up and Upstate posted its 18th shutout of the season.
The three runs held up and Upstate posted its 18th shutout of the season.
Despite holding a two-run lead through the first five innings, ETSU didn't have enough left in the tank, as USC Upstate used a four-run sixth to rally past the Lady Bucs, 4-2, in the nightcap at Cyrill Stadium.
ETSU out-hit the Spartans 7-6, but the Lady Bucs left seven runners stranded in the game.
Katie Henderson and Lucy Schneider both drove in the runs for ETSU, while Schneider also went 2-for-3 with a run scored.
Both teams were held scoreless for the first three innings, but with one out and Schneider on second, Henderson drove in her teammate with an RBI single through the left side. However, after Henderson advanced to second on the throw and Amy Campbell (Chattanooga, Tenn.) worked a two-out walk, Childers struck out Mikayla Treadway (Unicoi, Tenn.) to end the inning.
The Lady Bucs would tack on another run in the next inning thanks to Schneider's two-out RBI single down the line in left - putting ETSU ahead 2-0 - but the Spartans would have the final say so in the contest.
After senior right-hander Darci Gilbert (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) held USC Upstate scoreless on two hits in the first five innings, the Spartans attacked the Murfreesboro, Tenn. native for four on four hits in the sixth to grab the 4-2 lead. Upstate plated its first run of the game on an RBI single off the bat from Katie Zauner - and the Spartans evened the game at two - when Crislyn Chewing scored on a wild pitch. The Spartans took the lead on Monica Hall's one-out RBI grounder to short, and Lauren Quevedo capped off the scoring with a two-out solo home run to left-center - giving Upstate the two-run cushion.
Amber Hamilton, who relieved Childers in the fifth, retired three of the final four ETSU hitters she faced to pick up the win. Hamilton moved to 5-5 after issuing one run on four hits, while Gilbert was dealt the loss (4-9). Gilbert surrendered four runs on six hits in 5.2 innings of work.
ETSU returns to action when the Lady Bucs host Western Carolina in non-conference action Wednesday evening. First pitch of the doubleheader is slated for 5 p.m. at the ETSU Softball Complex.

A reader sent in the T-SQL query that Listing 1 shows because it didn't work as he expected. He was unable to concatenate 0 with the WHEN '1' branch of the CASE statement. The T-SQL code is supposed to explicitly convert the integer value '2004-09-24' to a char data type, but the result remains an integer value instead. I simplified the reader's original code to highlight the problem, so the T-SQL example might not seem valuable. But assume that you want a two-character string that represents the month you're testing for and you want to ensure the code prefixes a 0 to the month value for single-digit months, such as September, which the integer 9 represents. However, the sample SELECT statement returns 9 as the result set instead of 09.
The trouble with this T-SQL query stems from the CASE statement, which includes result expressions (the clauses after the WHEN keyword) that contain different data types. The SQL Server Books Online (BOL) entry for CASE explains that the data type of the entire CASE expression is "the highest precedence type from the set of types in result_expressions and the optional else_result_expression" and points to the Data Type Precedence entry for additional information.
The problem is that the first expression in the CASE statement is a char value, but the second expression is an int value because that's the data type of the DATEPART() function's result. SQL Server must choose one data type for the entire CASE expression. SQL Server implicitly converts the data type not chosen for the CASE data type as a whole into the chosen data type. BOL's Data
Type Precedence section covers the rules SQL Server follows when deciding which data type has precedence over another. SQL Server will choose the data type value that has the highest precedence as the data type for the CASE expression as a whole. According to these rules, int values are a higher precedence than char values. Therefore, SQL Server implicitly converts the first CASE expression (the WHEN '1' branch) to an integer. It's almost as if the code explicitly converts the interim value of 09 by using an operation such as CAST('09' AS int), which returns an int representation of 9 rather than a char representation of 09.
Knowing the rules of data-type precedence helps you avoid problems associated with implicit conversions by explicitly converting the second branch of the WHERE clause to a char data type, as the query in Listing 2 shows. Failing to understand the rules of data-type precedence leads to subtle T-SQL errors and incorrect result sets that are difficult to troubleshoot. Read the rules if you aren't familiar with them.
The preceding discussion about CASE and data-type precedence is helpful for many situations. However, in this case, you can avoid the CASE statement and data-type precedent problem by using a T-SQL expression that uses CAST() to append the 0 for single-digit months:
SELECT RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEPART(Month, @Testdate) AS VARCHAR(2)), 2)Corrections to this Article:

Howard County Executive Ken Ulman, considered one of the top prospects for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2014, reported that he raised more than $1.1 million last year -- almost keeping pace with Attorney General Douglas M. Gansler.
Ulman also reported that his campaign account has $2.1 million in cash on hand. The county executive said his 2012 fundraising achieved his goal of exceeding his fundraising the previous year. Gansler, who previously reported that he raised $1.2 million in 2012, has $5.2 million in the bank -- largely because he ran for re-election without opposition in 2010.
Meanwhile, Del. Heather Mizeur, a Montgomery County Democrat who is considering a dark-horse run for governor, reported that she collected $248,671 in 2012, leaving her with more than $380,000 in cash on hand.
Mizeur's total puts her far behind Ulman and Gansler, but she cast her totals in a positive light. The lawmaker said that in the 10 weeks between Nov. 1 and Jan. 9, the close of the reporting period, she raised $155,671. Mizeur's campaign compared that with Gov. Martin O'Malley's performance in the equivalent period before his 2010 re-election -- saying that the governor raised only $93,976 in those weeks.
As of about noon, Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown -- also considered a leading potential candidate -- had not reported his fund-raising totals. The deadline for filing fund-raising reports for 2012 is midnight.

PHILADELPHIA — If the Chicago Blackhawks stumble on their way to an NHL record for points in consecutive games, Bobby Clarke won't be popping champagne.
And if they break the mark of Clarke's 1979-80 Flyers, he won't mope.
Unlike some former stars, who hold their records more tightly than he ever gripped his two Stanley Cups, Clarke can appreciate the way Chicago has inched closer to Philadelphia's record. The Blackhawks are up to 23 straight games this season — and 29 overall — as they chase Philadelphia's NHL mark of 35 straight games with a point.
From Clarke's perspective, the new era of great teams should rise to the level of the ones before them.
"All the records should be challenged and beaten by new generations," Clarke said.
The great Flyers' captain had one caveat.
"They can't use last year's games, that's foolishness," Clarke said Wednesday. "Can Sidney Crosby go back and take the points he got in the last 10 games and add them to this year and add them to the scoring race? Can the Flyers add their point total from the last 10 games and add them to this year so they can get a playoff spot? It's legitimate if they do it in one season. It's not legitimate if they use two season totals."
The Blackhawks would love to do their part to rip off a 36-game mark in one season without a regulation loss. The Blackhawks are 20-0-3 for 43 points and have won a franchise-best 10 straight games entering Wednesday's game against Colorado. They would have to suffer an epic collapse to cough up the Presidents' Trophy.
Winning it all, however, is the ultimate goal.
Winning the Cup with some panache would be even sweeter.
Only those ex-Flyers, who crafted a new era after the Bullies' heyday faded, can appreciate Chicago's streak.
Led by coach Pat Quinn, the Flyers opened the season with a win against the New York Islanders and a loss to the Atlanta Flames. On Oct. 14, 1979, the Flyers topped the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3. The World Series and NFL conference championship games would be decided before the Flyers lost again — 7-1 to the Minnesota North Stars on Jan. 7, 1980. The record of 28 games set by the 1977-78 Montreal Canadians was passed with a 5-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Dec. 22, 1979.
"When we were at about 20 games, the media picked it up a lot more," five-time NHL All-Star Brian Propp said. "It became a bigger and bigger deal. From that point on, we were very aware of where we were. Once we got past 29, we kept cruising to 35. It was pretty amazing."
Chicago and Philadelphia's achievement each come with an asterisk. Neither streak is an unbeaten one. Without the benefit of shootouts, the Flyers had 10 ties, including three straight, over that span. The Blackhawks lost three shootouts this season, even if a big 0 sits in the official loss column.
"It's definitely a great time right now," Blackhawks centre Marian Hossa said. "Everybody is enjoying coming to practice. We don't practice as much, but it's working so far. Everybody is hungry. We have a strong lineup and the guys are playing well."
With 2010 Stanley Cup champion stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews leading the charge, the Blackhawks are the heavy favourites to win their second championship in four years.
"These guys are just hitting their prime," Clarke said. "For the next five or six years, they're going to be tough to beat."
Forget five or six years from now. Ask any team this season.
Corey Crawford (three shutouts) and Ray Emery have emerged into the NHL's best goalie tandem and Kane's 12 goals and 27 points are among the best in the NHL.
"Somebody jumps up and contributes a little more," each game, coach Joel Quenneville said. "Nobody wants to let each down and keeps pushing each other in the right way."
Like Chicago, the Flyers used two goaltenders, leaning on Pete Peeters and Phil Myre over the streak. The Flyers went 25-0-10 to set the record.
Amid the hype, the Flyers can serve as a warning sign for the Blackhawks. Not even the greatest of streaks can forecast a Stanley Cup championship. The Flyers finished 48-12-20 with 116 points but lost the Stanley Cup finals in six games to the New York Islanders.
"It's not, just because you have this streak, you're going to the finals," Propp said. "It's a grind to get there. I don't think you can take away from what we did during the regular season. It's just a whole new ball game once the post-season starts."
No team in any of the four major pro leagues has approached a streak like Philadelphia's. The NBA's Miami Heat have won 15 straight games — and many debaters would argue that streak is more impressive because there are no ties or points awarded for a loss.
Maybe, but that's an argument for another day.
Should the Blackhawks top the Flyers, they won't care what teams in other leagues do.
And the Flyers won't stress over losing their record.
"Whatever Chicago does, it didn't take away from what Philadelphia did," Clarke said. "The players that were part of the Flyers in those days can still enjoy what we did and celebrate what we did."

The trial for a Randolph man accused in the 2007 murder of 17-year-old Jose Gurley, a city resident and West Bridgewater High School star football player, is expected to begin on Wednesday.
BROCKTON – It has been nearly seven years since the murder of 17-year-old Jose Gurley, a city resident and West Bridgewater Middle-Senior High School star football player, in July 2007.
As the trial for his accused killer is expected to begin this week, Mark Bodwell, principal of West Bridgewater Middle-Senior High School, still remembers Gurley's team spirit and the teen's dedication to his school.
"He was a very good kid. He was an athlete. He was well-liked by his classmates and by the staff – a good kid who worked hard both in the classroom and on the athletic field," Bodwell said Monday. "It's been a long time. Hopefully, justice is served."
The trial for Andre Robert Brewer, 25, of Randolph, who is accused of the shooting death of Gurley outside a Brockton house party, is expected to begin in Plymouth County Superior Court on Wednesday.
Brewer has been held without bail at the Plymouth jail since his 2011 arrest. He is charged with first-degree murder, unlawfully possessing a firearm, unlawfully possessing a loaded firearm and unlawfully possessing ammunition.
The teen's murder sparked vigils and peace marches across the city and garnered national media attention.
The case was featured on "America's Most Wanted," a national investigative crime show on the Fox television network, as authorities searched for Gurley's killer.
Nearly four years after Gurley's murder, federal, state and local authorities arrested Brewer on a warrant in New Bedford on March 8, 2011. He was arraigned on the charges in Plymouth County Superior Court on June 29, 2011 after a June 3, 2011 indictment.
Prosecutors said the break in the case came in November 2010 when two witnesses came forward who identified Brewer as the shooter.
Their names were withheld and the court documents in the case sealed for their protection, prosecutors earlier said in court.
In 2011, a prosecutor recounted the statements the witnesses made to investigators, which included seeing Brewer approach the scene of the shooting, seeing the flash from his gun and seeing Gurley fall to the ground immediately afterward.
The shooting happened outside a house party that was dispersing at Roosevelt Heights, a city-owned affordable housing complex on Arthur Paquin Way on Brockton's north side, on July 21, 2007.
Members of two city rival gangs were at the party, and an argument broke out as people were leaving, prosecutors said in court in 2011.
Gurley was outside the house at the time. Authorities said after the shooting that he may have been trying to break up the argument when he was shot.
An autopsy found Gurley died of a gunshot wound to the torso.
A call to Brewer's attorney, Frank Spillane, was not returned Monday afternoon.
Gurley was a Brockton resident who was attending West Bridgewater Middle-Senior High School on the school choice program and was planning to attend college.
"It was very devastating news for the students and the staff," Bodwell said in recalling the days after the teen's murder. "It's something you just don't expect to happen."
Gurley's mother, Shelley Gurley, spoke words of forgiveness as she sobbed after Brewer's 2011 arraignment.
"I forgive him," she said at the time. "I have to. ... I have to move on. God put that on my heart."

Electromagnetic waves and antenna basics
- an overview, summary, tutorial about the basics of electromagnetic waves and the way in which they affect RF antenna and RF antenna design.
In this section
Radio signals are a form of electromagnetic wave, and as they are the way in which radio signals travel, they have a major bearing on RF antennas themselves and RF antenna design.
Electromagnetic waves are the same type of radiation as light, ultra-violet and infra red rays, differing from them in their wavelength and frequency. Electromagnetic waves have both electric and magnetic components that are inseparable. The planes of these fields are at right angles to one another and to the direction of motion of the wave.
An electromagnetic wave
The electric field results from the voltage changes occurring in the RF antenna which is radiating the signal, and the magnetic changes result from the current flow. It is also found that the lines of force in the electric field run along the same axis as the RF antenna, but spreading out as they move away from it. This electric field is measured in terms of the change of potential over a given distance, e.g. volts per metre, and this is known as the field strength. Similarly when an RF antenna receives a signal the magnetic changes cause a current flow, and the electric field changes cause the voltage changes on the antenna.
There are a number of properties of a wave. The first is its wavelength. This is the distance between a point on one wave to the identical point on the next. One of the most obvious points to choose is the peak as this can be easily identified although any point is acceptable.
Wavelength of an electromagnetic wave
The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave
The second property of the electromagnetic wave is its frequency. This is the number of times a particular point on the wave moves up and down in a given time (normally a second). The unit of frequency is the Hertz and it is equal to one cycle per second. This unit is named after the German scientist who discovered radio waves. The frequencies used in radio are usually very high. Accordingly the prefixes kilo, Mega, and Giga are often seen. 1 kHz is 1000 Hz, 1 MHz is a million Hertz, and 1 GHz is a thousand million Hertz i.e. 1000 MHz. Originally the unit of frequency was not given a name and cycles per second (c/s) were used. Some older books may show these units together with their prefixes: kc/s; Mc/s etc. for higher frequencies.
The third major property of the wave is its velocity. Radio waves travel at the same speed as light. For most practical purposes the speed is taken to be 300 000 000 metres per second although a more exact value is 299 792 500 metres per second.
Frequency to Wavelength Conversion
Although wavelength was used as a measure for signals, frequencies are used exclusively today. It is very easy to relate the frequency and wavelength as they are linked by the speed of light as shown:
where lambda = the wavelength in metres
f = frequency in Hertz
c = speed of radio waves (light) taken as 300 000 000 metres per second for all practical purposes.
Field measurements
It is also interesting to note that close to the RF antenna there is also an inductive field the same as that in a transformer. This is not part of the electromagnetic wave, but it can distort measurements close to the antenna. It can also mean that transmitting antennas are more likely to cause interference when they are close to other antennas or wiring that might have the signal induced into it. For receiving antennas they are more susceptible to interference if they are close to house wiring and the like. Fortunately this inductive field falls away fairly rapidly and it is barely detectable at distances beyond about two or three wavelengths from the RF antenna.

Home > Wildlife and Land Management > Oklahoma Lesser Prairie Chicken Conservation Action Plan > Concurrent Resolution
Concurrent ResolutionConcurrent Resolution: Adopted by the State of Oklahoma, House of Representatives the 7th day of April, 2011:
"WHEREAS, the Lesser Prairie Chicken is a grassland obligate game bird that occurs in the mixed-grass and short-grass native rangelands of Northwest Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Panhandle; and
WHEREAS, populations of the Lesser Prairie Chicken, an iconic symbol of the mixed-grass prairie and an indicator species whose presence attests to the overall health of the grassland community in which it occurs, have been declining, rangewide, for many years; and
WHEREAS, the Lesser Prairie Chicken, a candidate for listing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as threatened or endangered under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1976, due to its recently elevated listing priority status, is likely to be listed as threatened in the near future; and
WHEREAS, the impact of listing the Lesser Prairie Chicken is largely unknown, but has potential to negatively impact the economy of the area in which it occurs by imposing additional regulations or restrictions on activities occurring within the range of the Lesser Prairie Chicken, which may hinder or curtail activities with potential to boost local economies; and
WHEREAS, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, the agency with management authority over the Lesser Prairie Chicken, has the ability to work cooperatively with Oklahoma State University, Panhandle State University, the University of Oklahoma including the Sutton Avian Research Center, nongovernmental organizations such as The Nature Conservancy, landowners, and other state and federal agencies to address additional research needs to identify factors contributing to the decline of the Lesser Prairie Chicken; and
WHEREAS, the Office of the Secretary of the Environment has the ability to coordinate the activities of the agencies within this state, and to bring together agencies, researchers, landowners and industry leaders to cooperatively guide the efforts to restore Lesser Prairie Chicken populations while encouraging responsible development; and
WHEREAS, cooperative conservation of the Lesser Prairie Chicken is desirable in order to help restore healthy populations of the Lesser Prairie Chicken; and
WHEREAS, through a cooperative management effort including all stakeholders, which addresses the needs and concerns of each while fostering communication, cooperation and participation by the broad community with an interest in Lesser Prairie Chicken research, management, and conservation, the decline in Lesser Prairie Chicken populations can be minimized or curtailed in areas throughout their five-state range in a manner that is compatible with economic development.
THAT the House of Representatives of the State of Oklahoma directs the Secretary of the Environment and Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, working with Oklahoma State University, Panhandle State University, Sutton Avian Research Center, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, landowners, and other stakeholders to identify research needs and develop a conservation plan for Lesser Prairie Chickens in Oklahoma to protect, enhance, and restore their habitat while also addressing other factors leading to their decline.
THAT the Office of the Secretary of the Environment and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation continue to participate in the ongoing five-state effort to inform management and development decisions which have the potential to impact Lesser Prairie Chickens and their habitats.
THAT the Office of the Secretary of the Environment and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation continue to diligently seek to identify ways to incentivize Lesser Prairie Chicken and habitat conservation, and encourage responsible development."


text: To: RXTE and ASCA Proposers From: Dr. Roger Malina, EUVE Observatory Director Date: June 30, 1997 Re: Announcement concerning coordinated observing proposals between RXTE and EUVE or ASCA and EUVE submitted to NASA. The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite project is pleased to announce that it will accept the decision of the RXTE and (US) ASCA Peer Review panels in granting time for coordinated observations with EUVE. A successful proposal to either the RXTE or ASCA panel would not have to be re-submitted to an EUVE Peer Review to obtain EUVE observing time. The EUVE project believes this science-oriented, streamlined process will ease the burden on the organizers of multi-wavelength campaigns and enhance the science return of the satellites. Proposers who wish to take advantage of this opportunity must make their case for EUVE observations in the Scientific Justification section of their proposal(s). The EUVE project will conduct a technical review to check the feasibility of the observation, and this information will be reported to the RXTE and ASCA Peer Review committees. Therefore, it is in the proposer's best interest to provide enough detail on expected EUV flux, assumed hydrogen column, requested exposure and required signal-to-noise ratio for a valid technical assessment. This offer is meant to facilitate truly coordinated campaigns. Only enough EUVE exposure time will be awarded to accomplish the goals of the coordinated observation, and not for independent EUVE science. To minimize paperwork, the EUVE project will contact only successful proposers for the detailed information needed (target summary forms, P.I. contact address, etc) to plan their observation. Information on the capabilities of EUVE can be found on the Internet at www.cea.berkeley.edu or downloaded via anonymous FTP from ftp.cea.berkeley.edu:/pub/nra96. No funding is associated with this opportunity. There is currently no reciprocity with RXTE or ASCA in this offer; in other words, proposals for coordinated observations to future EUVE NRAs will not be automatically granted time on RXTE or ASCA. The proprietary period for EUVE data is 6 months from the date of data delivery to the P.I. Standard Guest Observer support for data delivery and analysis will be granted. The Center for EUV Astrophysics, U.C. Berkeley, also offers Guest Scientist computer accounts to aid in data analysis and reduction. Questions regarding this opportunity and/or the EUVE satellite can be emailed to : firstname.lastname@example.com. Questions about the capabilities of RXTE and ASCA satellites should be addressed to firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com respectively.

MU Extension Provides Bakery With Business Expertise
After years of planning, Brandon Kelley of Jefferson City started B.K. Bakery with help from University of Missouri Extension business development specialists.
First impressions are everything for Brandon Kelley.
At B.K. Bakery those impressions taste like German chocolate cake, cranberry orange scones and many other pastries.
"When people take time out of their busy schedule and decide to splurge a little bit, you want to make sure when they bite into that flaky pastry or warm cinnamon roll that they taste the quality and care you put into it," he said. "There are so many things against you now in an unstable economy that you just have to make sure you're on top of your game, using every resource you have, because it's not easy by any means."
After years of planning, Kelley started B.K. Bakery in 2010. Despite a troubled economy, he felt confident he could succeed. With help from University of Missouri Extension business development specialists, Kelley refined a business plan and made the leap.
"MU Extension helped me identify and think through things that ultimately could sink a business if they wouldn't have been brought to my attention to figure out," Kelley said. "Before you get your doors open you work with them day in, day out, multiple times a week, to work out the final details. After you open they don't just disappear, so you're not on your own. You have a partner."

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's foreign minister has dropped his deputy, known for international incidents, from his list of candidates for Israel's January 22 election.
Danny Ayalon made headlines during a diplomatic spat with Turkey in 2010, when he forced the Turkish ambassador to sit on a low stool as an insult, and saw to it that the scene was televised. The maneuver worsened the crisis between the two nations. Ayalon eventually apologized.
When Foreign Avigdor Lieberman, head of their party, read his list of candidates for parliament on Tuesday, Ayalon was not on it, party spokesman Tal Nahum said.
Lieberman's Yisrael Beitenu Party is running on a joint list with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud. Polls indicate the combined list will finish first, and Netanyahu will remain in his post.

Five-Axis Mill Features Linear Motor Technology
The HSM 400U LP high speed milling machine from AgieCharmilles is designed to provide simultaneous five-axis, high speed machining and deliver powerful performance and precision.
New Product Post: 12/7/2010
Related Topics:
The HSM 400U LP high speed milling machine from AgieCharmilles is designed to provide simultaneous five-axis, high speed machining and deliver powerful performance and precision. An optional pallet changer with 20/48 pallets provides capability for 24/7 unattended machining. The pallet changer can be loaded while the machine is cutting to minimize downtime and enhance automation, the company says.
Speeds range to 250 rpm on the rotational axis and 150 rpm on the swiveling B axis, which features a range of 220 degrees. The machining center also uses liquid-cooled, linear direct-drive motor technology to enable short setting times and high dynamic rigidity of the attitude control. Additionally, the linear direct drive combines with central oil lubrication to reduce friction-induced wear and ensure precision.
With vector spindles available at 30,000, 42,000 or 54,000 rpm, the machining center also provides quality surface finish and part detail, while reducing machining time for semi-finishing and finishing operations, the company says. The machine's high dynamics and 1.7-G acceleration help to reduce non-productive time and help to maximize spindle utilization.
The machine features a Heidenhain iTNC 530 control system and smart machining modules that are said to provide advanced levels of monitoring critical to the production of high-value precision medical, aerospace and mold inserts. The system enables the machine to automatically inspect tools for breakage and measure the workpieces. Additionally, the smart machine modules automatically monitor spindle vibration, calibrate machine geometry and transmit process status messages to an operator's cell phone.

Manchester police officer found not guilty of simple assaultBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
May 16. 2013 11:47AM
BRENTWOOD – A jury found Manchester police officer Nathan Linstad not guilty of simple assault against his estranged wife at the couple's Raymond home in September.
Jurors returned their verdict Thursday in Rockingham County Superior Court after deliberating for about 2 1/2 hours.
"I'm pleased with the jury's verdict, and Officer Linstad is relieved," defense lawyer Eric Wilson said in an interview. Linstad, 35, was charged with misdemeanor simple assault, an offense punishable by up to a year in jail.
Since being charged in September, Linstad has remained on inside duty at the Manchester police station.
During the trial, Linstad acknowledged he had been communicating with a variety of women using his work phone for more than four years.
Prosecutors had alleged he grabbed his estranged wife, Melinda, in a bear hug and body slammed her to the floor while the two argued about his cell phone.
Linstad and Melinda Linstad both testified during the three day trial, giving alternate accounts of an argument at their Raymond home on the morning of Sept. 5.
Melinda Linstad testified she was calling the phone number of another woman on her husband's cell phone when she was grabbed from behind.
Nathan Linstad testified that he never laid hands on his wife, and that she "flopped" to the ground before calling out to their 5-year-old son to ask if he saw her being thrown down.
Wilson argued to the jury that the devil was in the details, which provided them with enough information to find Linstad not guilty.
"If you could come to two conclusions, one that he assaulted her, one he didn't assault her, then you must acquit him," Wilson said during closing arguments.
Assistant County Attorney Patricia Conway described Linstad as a "superb liar" who tried to hide his affair along with a history of trading photos, e-mails and text messages with other women.
Raymond police Detective Richard Lebell, who investigated the incident, and Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jennie Duval, were among the state's witnesses.
Duval testified that Melinda Linstad's injuries did not surface for several hours because it took time for coagulated blood to rise above the muscle and fatty tissue. Duval added that Melinda Linstad would also have had to fall from an elevated position and not break her fall to sustain such injuries.
A defense-hired medical expert, Dr. Gus Emmick, testified that the bruising on Melinda Linstad should have been prevalent much earlier than what was reported to Raymond police.
Jurors saw photographs of Melinda Linstad's bruises to her right arm and upper right thigh.
Wilson argued that his client may have been untruthful to his wife about talking to other women, but he did not get into a physical confrontation with her.

NY State launches website and hotline to explain new gun control laws, NY SAFE Act
New York State launched a new website with information about the new state gun law signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo last week. A new phone hotline was also launched Monday to answer questions about the law.
The law is called "New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013," or as the NY SAFE Act.
The NY SAFE ACT website includes a list of frequently asked questions that have been compiled and answered by experts on this new law.
The list of frequently questions lists includes what is and is not considered an assault weapon. This includes photos of weapons, banned features, a list of some of the banned weapons, and those firearms that are not considered assault weapons. There are also list of frequently questions about magazines, antique guns and magazines, safe storage, dealers, and crimes.
The website lists the weapons that must be registered - officials say for free - under the law starting April 15. Designated assault weapons must be registered within a year after that or owners face a misdemeanor charge.
Beginning Monday, January 21, a new hotline will be staffed by State Police during normal business hours Monday through Friday. The number is 1-855-LAW-GUNS or 1-855-529-4867.
The key provisions of the NY SAFE Act include: mental health alert, tougher assault weapons ban, stronger regulations on ammunition, statewide recertification of handguns and assault weapons, universal background checks closing the private sales loophole, felony crime for murder of a first responder, extending and strengthening Kendra's Law for mentally ill inmate outpatient treatment, protecting families, safe storage of firearms, no guns on school grounds or on school buses, and tougher penalties for illegal gun use.
New York State, according to the website, is the first state to ban all pre-1994 high capacity magazines, ban magazines holding over 7 rounds, and conduct real time background checks on those buying ammunition.

Taking MDM to the next level
What does the future hold for master data management? Find out what those in the trenches are talking about when it comes to MDM.
By Evan Levy, Vice President, SAS, Business Consulting
I've attended the Gartner Master Data Management conference during the past few years and always come away learning something new and feeling intrigued at the issues that are discussed as well as the issues that seem to escape the podium's attention.
The Gartner conference is one of the more popular activities for the Master Data Management (MDM) world. There's lots of customer discussion, numerous analyst opinions and invaluable backroom and between-meeting conversations. I often find the most valuable learnings come from the discussions that occur during and after the presentations. This year was no different.
The one area that reflected the diversity of content between analyst remarks and between-meeting discussions was the Next Level of MDM. The presentations consistently referred to multi-domain MDM as the next level of MDM (for those of you who aren't familiar with the term, multi-domain MDM is the concept of a single MDM hub platform supporting the mastering of multiple subject areas).
The attendee discussions I participated in reflected a more advanced view of the desired direction that the MDM industry should take. The discussions weren't focused on multi-domain MDM; they were focused on expanding MDM to address the obstacles that most companies are experiencing in managing and deploying the exploding breadth and volume of data that exists within their companies.
I spend a fair amount of my professional time meeting with customers to discuss their views on data strategy and data management. The details discussed between-meetings at the most recent Gartner conference are fairly consistent with the customer discussions I've had over the past few months. I thought I'd share some of the more common discussion topics regarding future MDM functions and capabilities.
I often find the most valuable learnings come from the discussions that occur during and after the presentations.
What's in store for MDM
- Data directory services
There's no greater consumer of time than searching for data within the enterprise. It's not uncommon for developers and end users to spend 40 percent of their time searching for the data they need to analyze or include in a new application (and that reflects the existence of data marts, reporting tools, data warehouses and analytic systems). While existing MDM products do an adequate job of providing details to the subject area master elements, they don't support the other 90 percent of the elements contained across the company's numerous operational and analytical systems. Expanding the MDM platform to track and identify (but not store) the various locations of additional subject area details would be invaluable.
- Centralized metadata
The motivation for MDM is to provide access to a subject area master record along with the details of the contributing sources. What folks really want is a single centralized location for metadata content. Developers and end-users are desperate to understand the data's origins, definitions, meanings and rules. Most MDM products contain those details for mastered elements – it makes sense to expand the MDM hub to support metadata services to store, retain and share metadata for all of the elements associated with a subject area.
- A data provisioning platform
Since the MDM hub knows the various source systems where the subject area details reside, why not position the MDM hub to retrieve the data? To be fair, the idea isn't to support query processing and joins, just data provisioning. If an application wants to retrieve all the descriptive details for a customer, why is database (or system) location and access details required? The MDM hub knows where the data is; let it go and retrieve the data and deliver it to the requestor.
- Centralized data security
Most IT organizations (and product vendors) realized years ago that implementing user access security for individual applications and systems was too cumbersome and problematic. Centralized application and system access control has been around to address this problem. Unfortunately, such a capability doesn't exist for data. MDM hubs can already store and retain CRUD (create, read, update, delete) for their own purposes – why not centralize all data security within the MDM hub? Rather than every database and application rely upon their own data security method, centralize data level security details within the MDM hub.
- Supporting enterprise data services
Every MDM product relies on web services as an application interface mechanism. While the most visible services include subject area CRUD processing, most MDM hubs require the creation of numerous "lower level" services (data correction, value standardization, database access, etc.) to address the breadth of functionality necessary for production deployment. These services should be positioned as enterprise-level data services for all IT systems. Unfortunately, most MDM products don't include the necessary tools and functions to integrate into a larger SOA and enterprise data services paradigm.
Master data management has proven to be a highly valuable component for many IT organizations. The existence of a central platform to manage subject area master details has dramatically simplified data access and improved data quality for application systems.
While I won't argue with the merits of multi-domain MDM (I'll save that for later), the concept of multi-domain hubs has been discussed for nearly eight years and lots of folks have already implemented them. There's a lot more we can accomplish with MDM technology.
We've only scratched the surface when it comes to simplifying data management and access for our IT and business user stakeholders. In the era of big data, third party data providers, hundreds of data sources and exploding data diversity and volume, maybe it's time to evolve MDM to leverage its strengths to address bigger enterprise data problems. The next level of MDM should be about leveraging its strengths to address the data management obstacles that continue to steal 40 percent of everyone's time.

HS Football Star Yuri Wright Expelled Over "I Need Some P*ssy" Tweets
I didn't know you could get expelled from a school for comments made on your personal twitter account. It is High School, wasn't like he was working for GM.
The interesting thing is Yuri Wright's Twitter account was private, but as he found out nothing is private on Twitter.
Yuri Wright, one of those two Rivals 100 Bosco stars, was expelled from school on Wednesday. The reason: a bunch of profane/graphic posts to his Twitter account. The account (which no longer exists, of course) was protected, but enough people followed him that word got around, and once they became widely-known public knowledge, apparently Bosco couldn't take the bad publicity – perhaps especially in the wake of pieces like the above-linked New Yorker story and this one at The Classical.
I don't understand this.
Wright is a kid and kids tweet and leave stupid Facebook statues like this all the time.
As a parent I would fight him being expelled. If Wright was at home tweeting his thoughts, what does that have to do with the school? Do they check every student's Twitter and Facebook account and kick them out for dumb comments?
If they did there wouldn't be a lot of kids left in the school.
If Wright is denied an opportunity for a college career because of some stupid Tweets, that is sad, as if those colleges aren't corrupt themselves.
Hypocrites to the highest degree.
Wright has learned a hard lesson, when you are well known everything you say will be used against you, fairly or not.
Here is the official reason why Wright was expelled.
Wright was expelled from Don Bosco Prep High School in Ramsey, N.J., on Wednesday, his high school coach, Greg Toal, confirmed to numerous media outlets.
"He was expelled from the school for the things he had written on Twitter," Toal told ESPNNewYork.com. "It was pretty simple really, what he wrote were some graphic sex things. This is a Catholic school, things like that cannot happen. It was totally inappropriate."
Wright, a senior cornerback, was warned about social media consequences, according to Toal. Wright's account, which had more than 1,600 followers, has been deleted.
"We told them about 10 or 15 times to get off (Twitter) and not to be involved in it, but there is always somebody who thinks he knows better." Toal told ESPNNewYork.com. "What he wrote was pretty bad, to be honest with you, I can't even say what he wrote.
"He was told on numerous occasions not to be Twittering and there are consequences for his actions."
Once again the question begs did the school just single out Wright or do they screen every single student's social media spaces? If they do not then they are hypocrites to the highest degree.
Wright is dumb for not listening to the multiple warnings he was given, but the kid only had 1600 plus followers and his Tweets were private, the only reason we know about this is because the school got all high and mighty.
Show me proof the school monitors the debate team or even better do they screen the faculty?
Until then the school is a fraud and I would still consider taking legal action if I was Wright.
