Judge says Cass County commissioner can't serve
Sunday, February 20, 2011
HARRISONVILLE, Mo. (AP) — A Cass County judge has ruled that a newly elected presiding commissioner can't serve because of a felony conviction.
Herschel Young, a Republican, was elected last fall to be presiding commissioner, but he was temporarily barred from office for punching a man in 1995.
Cass County Circuit Judge Jacqueline Cook ruled Friday that Young's old guilty plea to assault made his run illegal.
County Prosecuting Attorney Teresa Hensley sued when Young took the oath in January, on the grounds that Missouri law says felons can't hold elective office.
Young called the case political. He told The Kansas City Star that he was shocked by the decision and he planned to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Note: From 2011 onwards, CMS indicated a change in project title to "State of the States in Services and Supports for Persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder" to reflect the name of the study report.
|The State of the States project is broadly reviewing existing State programs and supports provided to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) people and their families across all 50 States and the District of Columbia. The project addresses 3 central questions: 1) What type of publicly funded services and supports are available for people with ASD? 2) How many people receive the supports? and 3) How are States improving diagnosis and services for people with ASD, regardless of payment source? Using quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, the project will collect information on how many people access ASD-related supports and services in a variety of service systems, including Social Security, the educational system, early intervention and employment services, institutional services, and Home and Community-Based Services. The content of service provision will be assessed by interviews with both State agencies and ASD stakeholders designed to address the types of services/supports available, extent of insurance coverage for those service/supports, leisure/recreational opportunities offered, staff training, and overall State policy infrastructure, among others. Quantitative data collection has been completed, and the interview process is underway. The project is to be completed at the end of 2012. The results will provide the first comprehensive analysis of ASD services and supports available through State and Federal programs.

The Hasbrouck Heights based Ryan Wolfe Kossar foundation held its 8th annual Million Dollar Golf Classic at The Tuxedo Club in NY yesterday. The foundation raised funds for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) research. The event featured contests including Men's & Ladies' Longest Drive, Closest to the Line, Closest to the Pins and On the Green. Hole-in-one prizes included new automobiles and $10,000 in cash.
The Ryan Wolfe Kossar Foundation was created in September of 2004 in memory of Ryan Kossar, a six-week-old infant who died instantly and unexpectedly. The Foundation's mission is to prevent unexpected infant and childhood fatalities, such as Ryan's, by funding research, medical training, family support and lobbying efforts.
What is SIDS and SUID?
Each year about 4,600 U.S. infants die suddenly of no immediately obvious cause. Nearly half of these Sudden Unexpected Infant Deaths (SUID) were attributed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is the third leading cause of infant death in the United States and the first leading cause of death among infants aged 1-12 months. Through medical research, further understanding of the causes of SIDS, the diagnoses and the methods of prevention will become more evident.

Mode Expansion in Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics. III. Optimized Convergence and Application to Ionic Solution Theory55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676270View Description Hide Description
The mode expansion is an infinite series for the Helmholtz free energy of a system of classical particles with spherically symmetric interparticle potentials. A systematic procedure is presented for making the mode expansion converge as quickly as possible for particles whose potential includes a strong repulsion. This optimization procedure is physically related to the excluded volume effects produced by the repulsive forces. When the mode expansion is truncated after the one‐mode term (the random phase approximation), the optimized result is related to the spherical modelintegral equation. The optimized mode expansion is applied to the restricted primitive model of aqueous 1–1 and 2–2 electrolyte solutions and compared with the results obtained from Monte Carlo calculations for salt concentrations up to . The comparison indicates that in this concentration range, the optimized mode expansion converges fairly rapidly. Truncation of the expansion for the 1–1 electrolyte after the two‐mode term yields values for the Helmholtz free energy, osmotic coefficient, and activity coefficients which are in almost perfect agreement with the Monte Carlo calculations up to . Accurate values of the excess internal energy are also obtained. For 2–2 electrolytes, the convergence of the optimized mode expansion is not as rapid as that for 1–1 electrolytes. Even so, when truncated after the two‐mode term, the optimized mode expansion for the 2–2 electrolyte predicts configurational energies which differ by at most 6% from the Monte Carlo results for concentrations between and .

Reaction of Hydrogen Atoms with C2H4 and C2D455(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676272View Description Hide Description
A study of the photolysis of HI in the presence of C2H4 and C2D4 was carried out at low conversions, in the presence of large pressures of moderator, and at various temperatures. In the experiments with C2D4 the formation of small percentage of HD was detected and it was found that the HD/H2 ratio provides a very sensitive test of the presence of hot reactions. The observed rate of hydrogen formation was used to evaluate the ratio of rate constants for the following reactions: The Arrhenius parameters for were found to be and, using the previously determined value for , we find . This value is based actually on the value of for H+I2 as determined by Sullivan and extrapolated to our conditions. C2D4 has been found to react about 10% faster than C2H4.
Influence of Molecular Geometry, Orientation, and Dynamics on Angular Correlation Patterns from Rotationally Labeled Macromolecules55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676273View Description Hide Description
In order to determine the sensitivity of gamma‐ray angular correlation patterns from solute macromolecules labeled with rotational tracers such as 111m Cd, a theoretical study was made of the behavior expected under certain conditions. A nucleus of spin , acted upon by an axially symmetric electric field gradient, and bound to a rodlike macromolecule, was considered. Under static conditions (no molecular rotation), the time‐dependent correlation pattern is quite sensitive to molecular orientation and, for oriented molecules, to the angle between the axis of the field‐gradient tensor and the molecular axis. A general equation and results for selected geometric configurations are given. When molecular rotation is allowed, a classical model is applicable if the rotation is sufficiently slow. This model is used to calculate relaxation curves for several geometrical configurations under the condition that the macromolecules rotate about their long axes. These curves are shown to have considerable diagnostic value. Finally, the applicability of rotational tracers in the light of these results is discussed.
Collinear Collisions of an Atom and a Morse Oscillator: An Approximate Semiclassical Approach55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676274View Description Hide Description
The semiclassical treatment by Heidrich, Wilson, and Rapp of atom–harmonic oscillator collinear collisions with exponential and Morse repulsive potentials, is extended to include collisions, with the same potentials, between an atom and a Morse oscillator. The classical equations of motion for the Morse oscillator system lead to a differential equation which can be solved in the same form as the harmonic oscillator system by an iterative method. It is found that for vibrational transitions between low lying levels and for relative translational energies on the order of several oscillator quanta only one or two iterations are necessary for convergence to within a few percent. The results are compared with a calculation for harmonic oscillator systems.
Numerical Calculation of Vibrational Relaxation and Dissociation for a Quantum Anharmonic Oscillator55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676276View Description Hide Description
The vibrational relaxation and dissociation of gaseous H2 highly diluted in an argon heat bath have been studied numerically at temperatures between 2500 and 15 000°K. Collisional transition probabilities between the vibrational levels of H2 were calculated by the method of Schwartz, Slawsky, and Herzfeld in a form modified for a Morse oscillator. The master equation was solved by numerical integration to give the time dependence of the vibrational level populations and of dissociated molecules in a simulated shock‐wave experiment. The absolute values of the calculated rate coefficients for dissociation are in good agreement with experiment, but the predicted vibrational relaxation times are about a factor of 35 shorter than those determined experimentally. At all temperatures, the upper vibrational levels in the dissociating gas are substantially depleted below their equilibrium populations. The Arrhenius activation energy for dissociation is 102.5 kcal mole−1, slightly lower than the dissociation energy of 103.2 kcal but higher than the experimentally determined activation energies by about 10 kcal. An incubation period of about 1 to 1.5 vibrational relaxation times precedes the establishment of approximately steady dissociation. The computed incubation behavior is compared with that predicted from the diffusion theory model of Brau, Keck, and Carrier. The vibrational relaxation behavior of this anharmonic oscillator molecule has been examined. In the absence of dissociation, the relaxation time as defined by the Bethe–Teller equation differs from its SHO value by less than 10%, and is found to show variations of less than 10% with time. The present results are also used to examine some approximations made in theories of coupled vibration and dissociation.
Crystal Field Splitting of the Energy Levels of Nd3+ and Er3+ in CaWO455(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676277View Description Hide Description
Crystal field parameters appropriate for symmetry were fit to data on the level splittings of Nd3+:CaWO4. The symmetry assignments of the sublevels of now seem firmly established. The "missing" sublevel in was selected by comparing to existing Nd3+:PbMoO4 data. Spectral data which were used to interpret the and sublevel structure are presented. The total rms deviation for the term without g‐value fitting was 9.4 cm−1. When g‐value fitting was included, the rms deviation was 10.7 cm−1. The total rms deviation for the was 7.2 cm−1.
Highly Conducting Ion‐Radical Salts of Tetrathiotetracene55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676278View Description Hide Description
The electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power of the organic semiconductor tetrathiotetracene (TTT) and its chloride, bromide, iodide, and thiocyanate salts are reported as a function of temperature. The ion–radical salts, of nearly 1:1 stoichiometry, were discovered to be highly conductingorganic semiconductors and have resistivity values at room temperature ranging from 2.3 × 103 Ω·cm for TTT–chloride to 0.71 Ω·cm for TTT–iodide. The sign of the Seebeck coefficient of TTT–chloride corresponds to an n‐type semiconductor, while for TTT and the other salts it indicates p‐type behavior. Infrared absorption spectra of the solids, uv–visible spectra of solutions, preliminary x‐ray powder patterns and density measurements are correlated with electrical properties. The influence of constitution of the ion–radical salts on the electrical resistivity and possible mechanisms of conduction are discussed.
Generalized Boltzmann Equation for Molecules with Internal States55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676279View Description Hide Description
The general form of the Boltzmann collision operator is discussed. It is argued that this should be the natural transition (super‐) operator for a binary collision that is defined analogous to the ordinary transition operator in collision theory. Properties of the collision term are discussed, in particular pointing out its general nonhermiticity and nondefiniteness as well as its behavior under parity, rotations, and time reversal. In general, there is no theorem.
ESR Studies of Cu, Ag, and Au Atoms Isolated in Rare‐Gas Matrices55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676280View Description Hide Description
Electron spin resonancespectra were observed on Cu, Ag, and Au atoms isolated in Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe matrices at ∼ 4°K. The hyperfine coupling constants and the values were determined and examined for the matrix effect. With xenon matrices a superhyperfine structure with magnetic xenon nuclei was partially resolved, and by means of computer simulation, it was shown that these atoms are substitutionally incorporated within the Xe lattice. Also an evidence for atom‐vacancy pairing was observed for Cu in Ne matrix.
NMR Relaxation in Cholesterol and Cholesteric Liquid Crystals55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676281View Description Hide Description
The protonnuclear spin lattice relaxation has been measured in cholesterol and its esters (n‐propionate, n‐decanoate, myristate, and oleate) in the solid, mesophase, and liquid regions using conventional pulsed NMR techniques at a frequency of 30 MHz. All solid phases and the mesophases of all the esters except the oleate exhibited relaxation which could be fit within experimental error with a single exponential. Nonexponential relaxation, which was analyzed assuming two relaxation times, was observed in all liquid phases and throughout the mesophase of the oleate ester. Relaxation in the mesophases of all the esters had very little temperature dependence and this, plus its behavior at the phase transitions, indicated that the relaxation mechanism might be similar to that in nematic liquid crystals. It was not possible to determine the primary source of the nonexponential relaxation behavior but it did not require the presence of an ester group.
Entropy Change and Fluctuation in Reaction System55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676282View Description Hide Description
The irreversible entropy change due to a chemical reaction near equilibrium in a closed system is expressed by , where is the Boltzmann constant, and is the degree of advancement. The reciprocal of the factor , according to the stochastic approach to chemical kinetics, is the fluctuation in the number of molecules of reacting species at chemical equilibrium. It is similarly shown that the factor , which Eigen and de Maeyer introduced in the thermodynamicanalysis of chemical relaxation, is equivalent to the fluctuation. The interrelations between chemical affinity, equilibrium reaction rate, and relaxation time are also discussed through these relations to the fluctuation.
F‐Aggregate Centers in Sodium Chloride. I55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676283View Description Hide Description
Thermal aggregation of electron excess color centers in NaCl, x irradiated at 80°K, was studied by observation of changes in optical absorption in pulse annealing experiments. An initial 80 h x irradiation introduced large concentrations of and positive hole centers. As annealing temperatures were raised (80 → 235°K) recombination of thermally released positive holes with electrons in centers produced centers. Thermal aggregation of centers occurred above 240°K when centers become mobile. centers form and disappear and centers increase rapidly in number near 265°K as a result of the reactions and . centers form by the reaction below 320°K and disappear slowly by the reactions and , above 330°K. Optical absorption band maxima at 80°K are: M+, 1.22 eV (1015 nm); M1, 1.74 eV (713 nm); R+, 1.80 eV (690 nm); R1, 2.28 eV (543 nm) and R2, 2.07 eV (600 nm). N1 and N2 band systems were observed but were not studied in any detail. centers also were formed by direct ionization of centers by 300‐nm light. The concentration, however, was low because of a counterbalancing of photoionization and electron capture processes. centers were formed in x‐irradiated NaCl by excitation with light absorbed in the R2 band. They could be transformed back to centers by x‐irradiation or center bleaching.
Thermodynamics of Microcrystallites and Its Relation to Nucleation Theory55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676284View Description Hide Description
We develop a generalized Einstein model for calculating the thermodynamic properties of small crystalline clusters of atoms. The validity of the model is established through the molecular dynamics calculations by Dickey and Paskin and the numerical normal modeanalysis by Burton for certain cluster packings. The rapid computational procedure and low computer storage requirements for our model calculations enable us to easily compute thermodynamic quantities for cluster configurations and sizes beyond those previously studied. Polyhedron cluster packings and "approximately spherical" cluster packings are used to generate clusters of various configurations. The Einstein theory is used to study the Helmholtz free energy, vibrational energy, and entropy for the various cluster configurations and for cluster sizes up to ∼ 1000 atoms. The model calculations are compared with the predictions based on the capillarity approximation used in nucleation theory. The simplicity of the method enables one to calculate the thermodynamic quantities for other types of systems.
Two Modes of Diffusion in Liquids55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676285View Description Hide Description
We propose that in the case of diffusion in liquids two modes of diffusion are present. The first mode, a flow mechanism, resulting from the movement of the solvent molecules, is the only one available to large diffusants having molecular weights at least an order of magnitude larger than that of the solvent. Smaller diffusants can use this mode but also move by activated diffusion within the lattice of the solvent matrix. The form of the variation of the activation energy for diffusion with size of the diffusant is discussed. Semiempirical calculations of diffusion coefficients and activation energies for several (small to medium‐sized) diffusants in water are performed and the results are compared with available data.
Time Correlation Functions for a Molecular Gas: Magnetic Field Effects55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676286View Description Hide Description
Time correlation functions appropriate for the study of thermal conduction and viscous dissipation are considered for a molecular gas in the presence of a static magnetic field (Senftleben–Beenakker effect). The classical Boltzmann equation is used in the formulation although the generalization to the quantum mechanical case is straightforward. The results are illustrated by an explicit calculation for diamagnetic molecules within the framework of a simple model used by Kagan and Maksimov. The time correlation functions which correspond to the nondiagonal components of the thermal conductivity and viscositytensors show the most interesting structure. The results are discussed and further extensions of the present calculations are outlined.
Liquid Mixture Excess Properties and Gas Solubilities by the Hard‐Sphere Model55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676287View Description Hide Description
Thermodynamic properties of binary liquid mixtures containing simple species are calculated with the hard‐sphere model originally proposed by Longuet‐Higgins and Widom. No liquid mixture data is used. The only mixture parameter employed is , the deviation parameter for the geometric‐mean mixing rule for intermolecular energy parameters. Very encouraging agreement with experiment is observed for both close‐boiling systems and for mixtures containing a supercritical solute. A calculational scheme for mixtures containing the quantum gases hydrogen and helium is also developed with the same model.
Raman Scattering Studies of Liquids and Glasses. I. Liquid and Supercooled Liquid Glycerol55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676288View Description Hide Description
The Raman scattering technique was used to investigate the low‐lying intermolecular modes in liquid and vitreous glycerol from 65–353°K. It was found that while the integrated intensity of the polarized spectrum decreases with decreasing temperature, the depolarization ratio remains more or less constant (≅ 0.68). A large decrease in the scattering intensity occurs near the glass transition temperature. Considering that a normal mode of vibration is responsible for both the ir absorption and the Raman scattering, we have derived an expression which relates the absorption coefficient to the scattering power spectrum. The derivation was obtained with a similar technique used by Kubo and Tomita in their theory of magnetic resonance absorption and relaxation. The derived expression was used to calculate the function (the absorption coefficient divided by the frequency ) from the measured Raman spectrum. It was shown that the so obtained curves can be fitted to within experimental uncertainty by a simple damped‐harmonic oscillator function with a temperature‐dependent damping constant. Except for a transition region at 260–280°K, the temperature behavior of the damping constant derived from the depolarized Raman spectrum can be described in terms of two activation energies. For the temperature region above 285°K, the activation energy corresponds to the hydrogen bondenergy, and for the region below 280°K the activation energy is considered to arise from the anharmonicity in the hydrogen bond potential. The reason for the temperature insensitive Raman scattering cross section in vitreous materials is also given.
Effect of Pressure on the Electronic Structure of Phthalocyanine and Iron Phthalocyanine Derivatives55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676289View Description Hide Description
The electronic structures of phthalocyanine, ferrous phthalocyanine, and the adducts with pyridine, 3‐picoline, 4‐picoline, and piperidine have been studied to 175 kbar pressure using optical absorption and Mössbauer resonance. One observes shifts of the optical absorption peaks to lower energy and changes in relative intensity of peaks which can be explained in terms of changes in the configuration interaction. Fe(II) in ferrous phthalocyanine is in an intermediate spin configuration at all pressures. In the axially coordinated adducts the Fe(II) is low spin at 1 atm. For the pyridine and picoline adducts this is caused by the increased backbonding to the axial ligands in addition to the phthalocyanine and by repulsion due to bonding. These factors both tend to separate the orbitals from the orbitals. In the piperidine adduct only the latter factor is operative. With increasing pressure the low spin compounds convert partially to a new spin state, believed to be intermediate spin. The picolines show the most conversion, the pyridine adduct less, and the piperidine complex still less. The general explanation lies in the decrease in backbonding at high pressure caused by the tendency for occupation of the ligand orbitals by ligand electrons. A similar effect has been observed in ferrocyanides and in phenanthroline complexes. The differences among the various adducts can be explained in terms of differences in the degree of backbonding and bonding.
Effect of Pressure on the Electronic Structure of Protoporphyrin IX, Hemiporphyrins, and Related Compounds55(1971); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1676290View Description Hide Description
Studies have been made on the effect of pressure to 170 kbar on the electronic structure of protoprophyrin IX, several hemiporphyrins, and related compounds using optical absorption and Mössbauer resonance. The optical absorption peaks which correspond to transitions shifted to lower energy and decreased in intensity with increasing pressure. This could be explained in terms of changes in the configuration interaction involving a shift of the electrons to the outer portions of the porphyrin ring. Imidazole protohemichrome is a low spin ferric compound. At room temperature and pressures above about 45–50 kbar it reduced apparently to an intermediate spin (or mixed spin) ferrous state. At 110° it reduced at moderate pressure to a low spin ferrous state, but with increasing pressure the Fe(II) transformed to intermediate spin. Hemin and hematin are high spin ferric compounds. With increasing pressure they reduced apparently to intermediate spin (or mixed spin) ferrous compounds. The amount of reduction with pressure was consistent with the location and shift of the observable metal to ligand‐charge transfer bonds. Two ferric compounds with square pyramidal symmetry like hemin and hematin but with planar neighbors of oxygen or sulfur instead of nitrogen were studied. Both reduced with increasing pressure, in one case with a probable change of spin state. All reductions observed were reversible.

Is there more to life than money?
13 Apr 2010 21:49 GMT
It said that a main issue was "to prevent non-state actors from obtaining the information or technology required to use such material for malicious purposes".
Peaceful nuclear energy
The communique also said that security measures should not limit nations' rights to peaceful nuclear energy.
Obama said at a news conference that the leaders recognised the "urgency and seriousness of the threat" of non-state actors and thus had to make actions that are "bold and pragmatic".
He also said that it was agreed that new institutions were not needed to carry out those actions but the strengthening of the UN, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and multilateral partnership.
The agreement will not be legally binding.
Obama had earlier called for action rather than talk to secure loose nuclear materials and prevent a potential "catastrophe for the world" should they fall into the hands of groups such as al-Qaeda.
The White House said on Tuesday that the US, Canada and Mexico have agreed to work together with the IAEA to downgrade a Mexican research reactor from using high to low enriched uranium fuel.
The move will allow the removal of all highly enriched uranium from Mexico.
Russia also said that it will spend up to $2.5bn to help dispose of weapons grade plutonium, while China agreeed to help draft new sanctions against Iran over its disputed nuclear programme.
Security steps
Attending the summit are leaders and delegates from the five major nuclear powers and 42 others, in what is the largest international meeting hosted by a US president in more than 60 years.Notable exclusions from the gathering include Iran, North Korea and Syria.
Meanwhile, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, said on Tuesday that he is drafting a letter to Obama offering talks and that Iran is Obama's "only chance" to succeed.
"Obama cannot do anything in Palestine ... What can he do in Iraq? Nothing. And Afghanistan is too complicated," Ahmadinejad said.
"The best way for him is to accept and respect Iran and enter into co-operation. Many new opportunities will be created for him."
Alireza Ronaghi, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Iran, said: "Ahmadinejad has become as soft in his tone as possible. This is unprecedented."
However, Ronaghi added that Ahmadinejad "changes his tone depending on the audience" and is likely to use the offer to say that if the US do not take it Iran will "go their own way".
Gordon Duguid, of the US state department, told Al Jazeera that Ahmadinejad's comments were not necessarily conciliatory.
"A conciliatory move would be accepting the deals that are on the table and going to the IAEA and showing that Iran's nuclear programme is peaceful," Duguid said.
"Statements are statements, actions are actions," he said.
'Interesting commitments'
Al Jazeera's Rob Reynolds, reporting from Washington DC, said: "There was barely any mention of Iran [by Obama] in the opening statement other than to say that countries that met their obligations can enjoy peaceful use of nuclear power.
"A conciliatory move would be accepting the deals that are on the table and going to the IAEA and showing that Iran's nuclear programme is peaceful"
Gordon Duguid, from the US state department, on Ahmadinejad's comments
"But clearly this is an issue that has been very dominant in the marginal discussions between Obama and other members of the international community.
"At the end we have a few interesting commitments from a few different nations, and assurances from Obama that they are all on the same page.
"But all of this is going to be voluntary and all of this will take time."
A day earlier, the talks were dominated by two developments – an apparent agreement between the US and China to work together on sanctions against Iran; and an announcement that Ukraine would surrender its stockpile of weapons-grade uranium.
Obama has framed the two-day summit as a key part of his broader agenda for ridding the world of nuclear weapons, and preventing weapons-grade material from falling into the hands of terrorists.
US officials hope leaders participating in the summit will agree on a series of security steps for their own nuclear material, and help pay to put the stocks of less well-off countries under lock and key.
The summit comes just days after Obama signed a new nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia, and ahead of next month's review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
A follow up summit is planned in 2012 in South Korea.

Advice for Fish You Buy from Stores and Restaurants
Fish and shellfish are an important part of a healthy diet.
- Fish and shellfish supply high-quality protein and other essential nutrients and are low in saturated fat.
- Eating fish and shellfish can contribute to heart health and children's proper growth.
- Women and children especially should include fish or shellfish in their diets because of the many nutritional benefits.
Guide to fish you buy that are lower in mercury and higher in omega-3 fatty acids
To help choose fish that are safe to eat, federal agencies give special advice for women and children:
Joint Federal Advisory for Mercury in Fish
- DO NOT EAT shark, swordfish, tilefish, or king mackerel.
- Eat up to 2 meals a week (12 ounces cooked) of a variety of fish and shellfish from stores or restaurants
- Five common types low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish.
- Albacore ("white") tuna has more mercury than canned light tuna. When choosing your two meals of fish and shellfish, you may eat up to one meal (6 ounces) of albacore tuna per week.
- Serve smaller portions to children.
Check local advisories about the safety of fish caught by family and friends in your local lakes, rivers, and coastal areas.
The federal advice was issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2004.
The federal advisory is available at: www.epa.gov/waterscience/fishadvice/advice.html
- Printable Federal Mercury Advisory brochure
For more detailed information:
Mercury Levels in Commercial Fish and Shellfish (from FDA)
Recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010
"Seafood contributes a range of nutrients, notably the omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)."
- Eating about 8 ounces (cooked, edible portion) per week of a variety of seafood provides an average consumption of 250 mg per day of EPA and DHA. Following this recommendation helps prevent heart disease.
"The average intake of seafood in the U.S. is about 3½ ounces per week, and increased intake is recommended."
- "Twice a week, make seafood the protein on your plate."
"In addition to the health benefits for the general public, the nutritional value of seafood is of particular importance during fetal growth and development, as well as in early infancy and childhood."
- Omega-3 fatty acids, in particular DHA, from at least 8 ounces of seafood per week for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding can improve infant health.
- Therefore, it is recommended that women who are pregnant or breastfeeding eat at least 8 and up to 12 ounces (cooked, edible portion) of a variety of seafood per week, from choices that are lower in mercury.
Seafood varieties commonly eaten in the U.S. that are higher in EPA and DHA and lower in mercury include:
- salmon
- anchovies
- herring
- sardines
- Pacific oysters
- trout
- Atlantic and Pacific mackerel (not king mackerel, which is high in mercury)
For more detailed information, the full report, Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010, can be found here.
Appendix 11 (on page 85) lists common types of seafood with the omega-3 fatty acids (EPA+DHA) and mercury content in a 4-ounce cooked portion.
Note for using the table: A total of 1,750 mg per week of EPA+DHA provides an average of 250 mg per day of these omega-3 fatty acids.

Iranian Students Engage Cyberwar Videogame to Counter U.S. Assault on Iran
An Iranian student group recently unveiled a new videogame that simulates an attempt to rescue two Iranian nuclear experts kidnapped by the U.S. military and then held in Iraq and Israel, reports various news agencies.
The RESCUE THE NUKE SCIENTIST videogame, designed by the Union of Students Islamic Assoc., is a response to a U.S.-based company's ASSAULT ON IRAN game (Kuma Reality Games), which depicts an American attack on an Iranian nuclear facility, says its creators.
"This is our defense against the enemy's cultural onslaught," Mohammad Taqi Fakhrian, a leader of the student group, told reporters.
In RESCUE THE NUKE SCIENTIST, U.S. troops capture a husband-and-wife team of nuclear engineers during a pilgrimage to Karbala, a holy site for Shiite Muslims. Game players take on the role of Iranian security forces carrying out a mission code-named, "The Special Operation." They must penetrate fortified locations to free the nuclear scientists, who are moved from Iraq to Israel.
Players have to enter Israel to rescue the nuclear scientists, kill U.S. and Israeli troops and seize their laptops containing secret information. When players fail a mission, a message pops up saying, "With resistance, you can battle the enemy." Iran's red, white and green flag is seen fluttering in the top right corner throughout the game.
"We tried to promote the idea of defense, sacrifice and martyrdom in this game," Fakhrian said.
Fakhrian said they were trying to market the videogame first in Iran and other Muslim countries. The group also has plans to bring the game to western countries, he said. Ali Reza Masaeli, leader of the group that designed the new game, said it took three years to produce. The team was based in Isfahan, a city that houses a nuclear site in Iran. "It is an entirely Iranian product in response to the U.S. cyberwar against Iran," Masaeli said.
This game is the group's response to the free ASSAULT ON IRAN online series from New York-based Kuma Reality Games. That game simulates U.S. Special Forces destroying the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Iran.

Published May 13, 2014
A North Charleston business owner was sentenced on Monday to three years in prison for selling stolen goods, according to U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles.
Eugene Jones, 60, was convicted in federal court of conspiracy to transport stolen goods in interstate commerce. U.S. District Judge David C. Norton of Charleston sentenced Jones to 36 months imprisonment with three years of supervised release.
Evidence in the case established that Jones, who owns and operates Patriot Pawn in North Charleston, recruited dozens of people to steal merchandise from Lowes, Target, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Belk, K-Mart, Best Buy, and Bed, Bath and Beyond. He suggested to his co-conspirators that they should steal computer software, calculators, tool kits, electronic devices and kitchen appliances, according to Nettles.
The co-conspirators then took the stolen goods to Patriot Pawn, where Jones and his employees bought the items for far less than retail value, Nettles said. Jones, a Goose Creek resident, then sold the stolen goods on the Internet auction site eBay. Buyers were from South Carolina, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and California.
Nettles said between 2007 and 2012, Jones sold approximately $1 million of stolen goods on eBay and transported in interstate commerce. The money was divided between Jones and his co-conspirators.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rhett DeHart of the Charleston office prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the Secret Service and the North Charleston Police Department, according to Nettles.

I blame the weather for what's in my grocery bags
The worst thing about Gailor's living in Evanston, Ill. is that I can't get any sympathy from her when I complain about the weather.
For instance, I called her yesterday and when I told her how cold it was, she laughed at me. She pointed out that it was minus 7 degrees where she was. That's the actual temperature, not the wind chill.
The liquid in her eyeballs freezes when she goes out.
And she keeps sending me photos of snow.
Anyway, I wanted to expand on an earlier post about how this weather is affecting my grocery shopping habits. Is this true of everyone? ...
I go to the store with my usual mental shopping list, which is really specific:
1) something for dinner
2) bananas
3) milk
In the summer I might come home with, oh, I don't know, chicken breasts that were on sale, organic carrots, green beans, bananas, milk and, as a special treat, Bing cherries.
In weather like this I open my ecologically correct reusable market bags when I get home, and it's like an alien has taken over my body in the store. Did I actually buy this stuff? Surely that mental shopping list didn't result in my actually buying:
* A jar of Major Grey's chutney
* A can of Baugher's locally canned peaches
* High-fat vanilla ice cream
* A jar of melba sauce that will be used once and then languish in the fridge for six months before it's thrown away
* Gourmet red-skin peanuts from Virginia
* Half-gallon of 2 percent milk
* Half-pound of already cooked and peeled shrimp because peeling and cooking shrimp would take too much effort
* Crosse & Blackwell seafood sauce, which won't be used even once because that's not how I'll serve the shrimp, but was bought because I fleetingly contemplated serving shrimp with cocktail sauce and then discarded the idea
* Severely out-of-season asparagus
* Multi-grain loaf from Bonaparte costing a mind-blowing $7.79
* Jasmati rice, because you can't have too many carbs
* Foil-wrapped milk chocolate Valentine hearts
And, oh yes, I forgot to buy the bananas.

Those two lines saved me $25 in cards, so thank-you, Brandon Sun. Of course, I'm kidding.

First of all, you need to know that the standard format for business cards is 85 mm x 55 mm. You don't have to stick to it, but it's a good idea to do so. Your standard sheet is an A4 size or 297 mm x 210 mm, so sticking to the standard format means you can print up to 10 cards on a sheet.
You can use a number of programs to create your card, from the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator and/or InDesign) to free alternatives such as GIMP. The design will be dictated by the brand image of your business, if you have one – if you don't, this is when you need to think of one.
Remember also that the branding needs to be consistent with future stationery, such as letterheads.
Colour or No Colour, That Is the Question
This depends on a number of factors. What kind of printer do you have? How much ink are you willing to use? If you only have a laser printer, it will likely be a black and white one so you want to make sure that your design looks good in black and white.
If you are using an inkjet printer you want to know whether it's a photo printer or not. Check your model's spec if you don't know. If your printer can't produce photo quality you might want to "water down" your graphics – many low end printers have issues with complicated shades.
Should your printer be photo capable, then you can think of creating more complicated designs, but keep in mind that you also need to buy photo quality paper. And if you want to print on both sides, you have to buy photo paper that is designed for that, as usually only one side will "support" photo quality.
Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. Even if you can produce photographic prints, don't litter your business cards with heavy photos and graphics. Remember that the first and foremost duty of a business card is to give your contact details and reiterate your brand. You use other things to catch people's attention.
If you are stuck with the design use templates. If you are not a professional designer, creating the design for your card might be daunting. You can find plenty of templates from online resources, or even software that specialises in creating business cards and these will have templates. Use them as a starting point and then personalise them so that your card looks unique.
Before you start cutting your business cards make sure the ink is dry. This is especially true for photo quality prints but it applies to anything that is heavy on pictures and graphics. Also note that blue takes longer to dry than other colours. If you don't wait your sheet may crease or your ink might smear.
Use heavier stock. Paper thickness is measured in weight, in Europe it's usually grams per square meters (gsm). The normal A4 paper that you usually buy is of 80 or 85 gsm. You want at least 115 or 130 gsm paper.
Laminate your cards. Lamination gives your cards a glossy look, so even if you didn't use photo paper your cards will look nice and shiny. However lamination is also good for practical purposes: your cards will be sturdier and more resistant to water, although I still wouldn't recommend showering with your business cards!

In the wild, an especially colorful male bird
will attract a female for reproduction because his brilliant feather coloring says, "this bird is healthy." The color of a bird's feathers results from pigment within the feather, the light that reflects off of it, and other factors including age, gender, and certain foods a bird eats.
Feather color is determined by the presence of various pigments, including melanins, porphyrins, and carotenoids (think "carrot").
Quality foods, as well as color-enhancing supplements, give your feathered companion healthy looking, radiant feathers that will light up any room.

This j1.5 page is actively undergoing a major edit for a short while.
As a courtesy, please do not edit this page while this message is displayed. The user who added this notice will be listed in the page history. This message is intended to help reduce edit conflicts; please remove it between editing sessions to allow others to edit the page. If this page has not been edited for several hours, please remove this template, or replace it with {{underconstruction}} or {{incomplete}}.
XML file
The XML file is named the same as the PHP file, and is one of the two required files. Always start off with the XML tag and define that it is written in a UTF-8 format.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
To define that the plugin has to be a search plugin, add this line:
<install version="1.5" type="plugin" group="search">
The type will define it is a Plugin, the group defines the Plugin is in the group of Search Plugins.
After that, add some information about yourself and the Plugin, like this:
<name>Name of your Search Plugin</name> <author>Your name</author> <creationDate>Created Date</creationDate> <copyright>Copyright</copyright> <license>License, for example GNU/GPL</license> <authorEmail>Your e-mail address</authorEmail> <authorUrl>Your website</authorUrl> <version>Version of the plugin</version> <description>Description of the Plugin; showed with installation and when editing the Plugin in the Plugin Manager</description>
And now include your PHP file to the Search Plugin. The name of this file should be the same as the name of this XML file. Put this name also behind the plugin="" part.
You could also add more files for your plugin, for example an image. Just add another row between <files> and </file>, and then place the file between <filename> tags.
<files> <filename plugin="nameofplugin">nameofplugin.php</filename> </files>
Optionally, you could add some parameters to the Plugin. These will look like this:
<params> <param name="paramname" type="typeofparameter" default="defaultsetting" label="title" description="description"/> </params>
- Param name: The name of the parameter. You will need this when creating the PHP file.
- Param type: You could choose between several types of parameters. For example, "text" is used to display an input box.
- Param default: The default setting for this parameter.
- Param label: The name of this parameter displayed in the edit screen of this Plugin in the Plugin Manager.
- Param description: The text which appears as a tool tip for this parameter.
And do not forget to end your XML file with the following tag:
PHP file
The PHP file of your Plugin is probably the most important file of the Plugin. First start with information about the Plugin and yourself. For example:
<?php /** * @version $Id: nameofplugin.php versionnumber date author * @copyright Copyright * @license License, for example GNU/GPL * All other information you would like to add */
To prevent accessing the document directly, enter this code:
// no direct access defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
Now define the registerEvent and the language file. Replace 'nameofplugin' by the name of your Plugin.
$mainframe->registerEvent( 'onSearch', 'plgSearchnameofplugin' ); $mainframe->registerEvent( 'onSearchAreas', 'plgSearchnameofpluginAreas' ); JPlugin::loadLanguage( 'plg_search_nameofplugin' );
Then define a function to return an array of search areas. Replace 'nameofplugin' by the name of your Plugin.
function &plgSearchnameofpluginAreas() { static $areas = array( 'nameofplugin' => 'Nameofplugin' ); return $areas; }
Then the real function has to be created. The database connection should be made. The function will be closed with an } at the end of the file.
function plgSearchnameofplugin( $text, $phrase='', $ordering='', $areas=null ) { $db =& JFactory::getDBO(); $user =& JFactory::getUser();
When the array is not correct, return it:
if (is_array( $areas )) { if (!array_intersect( $areas, array_keys( plgSearchnameofpluginAreas() ) )) { return array(); } }
And yet it is the time to define the parameters! First get the right plugin; 'search' (the group), 'nameofplugin'.
$plugin =& JPluginHelper::getPlugin('search', 'nameofplugin');
Then load the parameters of the Plugin..
$pluginParams = new JParameter( $plugin->params );
And define the parameters. For example like this..
$limit = $pluginParams->def( 'nameofparameter', defaultsetting );
Use the function trim to delete spaces in front of or at the back of the searching terms
$text = trim( $text );

San Diego construction company ditches the traditional corner offices in favor of a more egalitarian approach that has boosted collaboration and morale
Visit Balfour Beatty Construction's offices in Scripps Ranch, and you'd be hard-pressed to spot the top dog's office.
Eric Stenman, southwest regional CEO, occupies an office barely big enough for himself and a visitor. His other managers sit in similarly low-status spots far from the windows and views toward the ocean.
By contrast, the 60-some worker bees sit at light-filled desks, separated by low-standing movable walls and located along the windows.
Is this the result of an Occupy Balfour Beatty revolt?
"Our people are our most important asset, no question about it," Stenman said. "We looked at it, and in the old world of doing things, you put the VP offices on the exterior. You had people working in high-walled cubicles on the interior with fluorescent lights that were not healthy."
Starting in November 2011, when the company decided to move to its new location on Treena Street, the executives chose to try a new approach.
"We believe in innovation, and to be innovative, you need to be collaborative," he said. "We wanted our space to be conducive to that environment."
Chiefs and crew formed subcommittees to choose colors, design, space layouts and other details.
The theory behind the anti-corner office was that managers need to be easily accessible, and the staff should feel free to communicate in an unwalled setting.
"Lower the cubicle walls so we can see people and they can see us," Stenman said. "Give them daylight and views, and we will get daylight and views by virtue of our glass fronts."
Two issues were easily overcome — privacy and noise. Private rooms are available to maintain confidentiality, and workers who can't concentrate over the noise wear headphones.
To promote collaboration and teamwork, there are six conference rooms — twice as many as before at the 4S Ranch location — and a coffee bar and lunch room make it easy to take a break.
Outside are a putting green, horseshoe pit and a half-court for basketball where the company holds "triathlons" and hands out Padres tickets to the winners.
The result?
"In the old place, the clock strikes a certain hour and they're just out of here — there's no smile on their faces," Stenman said. "Here, sometimes I'll leave at 7 p.m. and people are still doing stuff. 'I'm catching up on stuff.' "
Many use the lunchroom to continue working."The productivity we've seen in this office building has been just a universal change," he said.
Lately, other Balfour Beatty execs have dropped by and said they want to remodel their spaces similarly.
"We just had an industry open house and had some owners, design partners and subcontractors," he said, "and they all came in and said the same thing — 'This so great, so collaborative.' "
And what about loss of ego and status?
"That doesn't drive me, and that doesn't drive our culture," he said. "We all have different degrees of decision making, and at the end of the day, there's one decision maker, and it's me. The fact in our culture is we don't display (status) in a way that draws attention, which I think is kind of negative."

OLYMPIA — Undecided voters could be the deciding factor in the governor's race in Washington state, where a new poll shows a close match between Democrat Jay Inslee and Republican Rob McKenna in the campaign's final days.
A KCTS 9 Washington poll released Thursday showed Inslee with a lead of 47.2 percent to 45.5 percent among registered voters, with 7.4 percent undecided. Among likely voters, Inslee holds an advantage of 48.7 percent to 45.6 percent over McKenna, with 5.8 percent undecided. In both camps, the numbers are within the margin of error.
Because the race is so close, poll director Matt Barreto said those undecided voters will be crucial.
"Those are the ones who will decide the outcome," he said.
The telephone survey of land line and cellphone users started Oct. 18 and ended Wednesday, and was conducted by the University of Washington. It sampled 722 registered voters, of which 632 were considered likely voters. It had a margin of error of 3.6 percent for registered voters and 3.9 percent for likely voters.
The poll found voters support ballot measures in favor of gay marriage, legalizing marijuana, approving charter schools and limiting taxes. It's the second KCTS 9 Washington poll released this month.
Referendum 74 asks voters to either approve or reject a gay marriage law that was passed by the Legislature earlier this year. That law is on hold pending Tuesday's election. The poll showed 57.3 percent of registered voters would vote to uphold the law, compared with 36.2 percent who oppose it and 6 percent undecided. Among likely voters, support remained about the same, at 57.9 percent, with 36.9 percent saying they would vote against the measure, and 4.8 percent undecided.
As in a poll released by KCTS 9 earlier this month, the poll on R-74 also included a third prediction, based on whether people answered honestly. Barreto said results can sometimes be skewed because people answering poll questions feel social pressure to answer a certain way. This poll was weighted based on how people answered two additional questions: if they lied on the survey, and if any topics made them uncomfortable. That third prediction reduced the number supporting the referendum to 52.3 percent, and those opposing 45.8 percent.
Barreto said social issues are the "absolute hardest things to poll on."
"It's hard to convince someone, when it's a stranger, to give you their full, honest opinion," he said.
On Initiative 502, which would legalize possession of up to an ounce of marijuana for those over 21, 55.8 percent of those asked said they would vote yes, compared with 36.7 percent who would vote no, and 6.9 percent undecided. Among likely voters, support was about the same, at 55.4 percent, with 6.8 percent undecided.

- Border control in Australia
- Author(s)
- Mares, Peter
- Abstract
- For several years, 'Border Security' has rated among the top programmes on Australian television. The prime-time 'docu-drama' takes a fly-on-the-wall look at the operations of Australia's immigration and customs officials. It films in airport arrival halls and on coastal surveillance vessels. The success of 'Border Security' might seem odd in a country that has few undocumented migrants and low levels of unregulated border crossings, but its popularity is testament to a deeply entrenched Australian view that migration is acceptable as long as it is an orderly process tightly controlled by government.
