Exhaust body heating kit
The floor and lower side plates of the body may be heated by the engine exhaust gases in order to maximize clean discharge upon
dumping and reduce risk of material freezing or sticking in cold and wet environments.
The exhaust gases are directed to the body via a flexible metal hose out of the hitch and exit at the rear of the body.
Overhung tailgate, wire operated
Tailgate is mounted to the rear end of two pivoting arms anchored at the front end by a wire attached to the hauler chassis. This option reduces spillage when hauling, especially on steep grades.
Designed for hauling gravel, sand, & liquid masses with a density that will not give more than the allowed maximum load with a full body. The gate is wire-operated and provides a large opening. The
tailgate cannot be combined with anti-skip chains.
Before ordering, the material density must be quoted by the dealer to ensure the overhung tailgate and increased body capacity matched to the weight of the material will not exceed the rated payload of the hauler.
Rock liners, 5/16" (8mm)
Volvo body liner plates are made of Hardox 450 Steel (5/16" thickness) and can be welded inside the Volvo standard body in order to extend body life and ensure protection in harsher applications.
The liners minimize excessive wear and impact damage when loading abrasive materials or large rocks.
Extra front spillguard, bolt-mounted
The extension minimizes the possibility of misguided material dropping on to the components in the pivot area. The option is commonly used where load placement is less precise and haulage on very steep downhill grades. The spillguard folds into the body
when not in use.
Light Material Kit
Kit bolts on to standard body for hauling light materials with densities of 1500 lb/yd3 or less. Easily mounted and removed for hauling different materials.
Cannot be used in combination with 8" side extensions, overhung tailgate, extra front spill guard or heavy duty wear plates.
8" Upper Side Extensions
Provides approximately 12% more capacity to hauler body for lighter materials such as coal, lighter aggregates, and dry earth(clay).
Can be used in combination with the Overhung Tailgate.
Cannot be used with light material kit.

|MMH earns praises for continued high quality health care coverage
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Melissa Memorial Hospital continues to receive positive recognition within the community and on a broader scale for the high level of care they provide. During the Tuesday, Jan. 28 East Phillips County Hospital District board meeting, MMH administrator John Ayoub informed board members about some exciting news.
Ayoub noted that in 2013 MMH started using HealthStream, an outside group that performs surveys of hospital patients. Initially, surveys were slow to come in, but during the third and fourth quarters of 2013, participation dramatically improved. In that time, MMH received a 100 percent satisfaction rate. Those results feed into the Medicare website, ranking MMH in the 99th percentile for all hospitals in the country.
"I am pretty proud of our staff, and I wanted to make sure you are aware of that," Ayoub said to the board. "That's hard to do. We always want to make sure we provide the highest quality of care, but sometimes how you do something is as important as what you do. I'm comfortable that we provide quality care and can now say that an outside independent group has verified that our patients feel that how we do that is also of the highest caliber."
MMH was also named the business of the year for 2013 at the annual Holyoke Chamber of Commerce Gala Monday, Feb. 3. Ayoub commented Tuesday, Jan. 28, "I am proud of the care that we provide, proud of the staff that we have and the way that we provide care for the community."
MMH continues to field a qualified staff
Since Dr. Thomas Lininger's retirement last year, MMH has been searching for someone to fill his shoes as oncologist. Beginning Friday, Feb. 28, Dr. Michael Stone will be stepping in as hematologist and oncologist at the specialty clinic. He will be available once a month on Fridays.
In the past, Stone has worked with Lininger, so a level of familiarity will be an extra benefit of his addition.
"At the end of the day, we want to make sure that our community is cared for, that we provide the specialties that we need through the specialty clinic. I am happy to announce that Dr. Stone will be coming to Holyoke," Ayoub said.
A family practice doctor will also be in town later this month as MMH continues to search to fill the last spot of the medical staff.
Challenges facing the state
With a number of legislative bills being introduced, Ayoub noted that there are a few bills the hospital is keeping an eye on. More specifically, a bill dealing with transparency and how to access charges and personal responsibility for services before receiving services.
Chargemaster, a comprehensive list of billable items to a patient or health insurance provider, is a hot topic at the moment. Ayoub was clear that Chargemaster is necessary and used at MMH. A lot of work goes into Chargemaster to ensure it is accurate.
Another hot topic deals with Medicare. As two years were added to the sequester, the hospital will continue to receive cost-minus reimbursement for Medicare patients. Every time a Medicare patient is treated, the hospital will get 99 percent of charges paid for by the government instead of all of the charges.
"I think that the major message that needs to continue to be floated to both sides of the aisle, frankly, is that Medicare isn't a piggy bank," Ayoub said.
He added that spending Medicare money to fix Medicare problems is acceptable, but spending Medicare money that hospitals need for other issues is problematic.
Administrator updates
Ayoub reminded board members that the flu is getting around this time of the year.
"The flu is out there and has been particularly bad this year in Colorado, not just affecting the usual suspects," Ayoub explained.
Young adults, who are typically healthy and bounce right back from the flu, have been hit unusually hard with this flu strain.
The annual health fair is also sneaking up again. For the second year, the fair will be at Phillips County Event Center Saturday, March 22.
Blood draws will be available at SunSet View every morning from 6-9 a.m. March 3-7 and 10-14.
Other business
In other business Jan. 28, board members:
—held a 30-minute executive session for the purposes of sale of property and for federal and state laws required to be kept confidential.
—announced that the next board meeting will be Tuesday, Feb. 25.
—announced the Melissa Memorial Hospital Foundation Legacy event, "Run for the Roses 2014," will be Saturday, April 5.

Options: Midwives for Maternity Care
What types of caregivers provide maternity care? What are my options?
What are the "Midwifery model of care" and the "Medical model of care"?
What is a midwife?
Where do midwives practice? What are trends in the use of midwifery care?
What types of midwives practice in the U.S.?
What types of caregivers provide maternity care? What are my options?Several types of midwives and several types of physicians provide prenatal care, attend births, and care for women after birth in the United States. This page provides information about these options.
The great majority of childbearing women in the U.S. are well and healthy, and can consider choosing from among the full range of maternity caregivers. If you have a serious medical condition or are at high-risk for developing such a condition, you will probably want to (1) be in the care of a doctor who has completed a residency and is board-certified in obstetrics (see below), and (2) plan to give birth in a hospital. Maternity caregivers understand and can advise you about situations that may call for more specialized care.
What are the "Midwifery model of care" and the "Medical model of care"?Views of the childbearing process and of appropriate care for childbearing women vary. Two contrasting perspectives are often called the "midwifery Model of Care" and the "Medical Model of Care." There are striking differences in the two models. These differences can have a great impact on your experience and outcomes.
Here are some contrasts between the two models:
Naturally, the midwifery model describes the practice of many midwives, and the medical model describes the practice of many doctors. But many caregivers combine elements of both. It is possible, but less common, to find doctors whose practice most closely resembles the midwifery model of care and midwives whose practice most closely resembles the medical model.
Thinking about these different views can help you to understand your own values and ideas about pregnancy and birth, and can help you select a caregiver who is compatible with your needs and values. Many women have a clear preference for one or the other of these models.
Midwives and Maternity Care
What is a midwife?Midwives are well-suited to care for healthy women who expect to have a normal birth. They provide prenatal care, care during labor and birth, and care after the birth. Many give priority to providing good information to women, involving women in decision-making, and providing flexible and responsive care. Many work to avoid unnecessary tests and treatments; and women under the care of midwives typically are less likely to have a cesarean, an episiotomy, and other interventions than women receiving care from doctors. Some midwives provide continuous support throughout labor and birth, which has many benefits for women, infants, and families and no known risks. midwives often encourage, are well-informed about, and provide much support for breastfeeding.
Some midwives also have additional training and credentials for childbirth education, breastfeeding consultation, and/or doula care.
Where do midwives practice? What are trends in the use of midwifery care?Midwives attend births in many hospitals throughout the United States, and they attend most of the births that take place in out-of-hospital birth centers and homes. They provide prenatal care and care after birth in many settings.
At this time, midwives attend about eight percent of births in the U.S. — over 300,000 every year. The trend shows a steady increase in use of midwifery services over time. (In 1975, midwives attended about one percent of U.S. births.) In contrast to the U.S., midwives are the most common maternity caregiver in many countries in Europe and elsewhere.
What types of midwives practice in the U.S.?Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are educated in the two disciplines of nursing and midwifery. They are registered nurses who have graduated from a nurse-midwifery education program accredited by the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM). They are "certified" when they pass an exam of the ACNM Certification Council, and are licensed by their state to practice nurse-midwifery. All 50 states license CNMs, and most midwives who practice in the U.S. are CNMs.
CNMs are trained to provide prenatal care, care during labor and birth, and follow-up care to the mother and newborn after the birth. Most CNMs attend births in hospitals, but they also attend births in out-of-hospital birth centers and in women's homes. CNMs may also provide "well-woman" care, such as gynecological checkups, pelvic and breast exams, and pap smears, as well as family planning care.
CNMs may work within a midwifery-owned and led practice, in a practice with physicians, or as employees of hospitals, health plans, or public agencies. In all cases, they are required to have established relationships with physicians for consultation, collaboration, and referral, as needed.
Certified professional midwives (CPMs) have passed the certification examination of the North American Registry of midwives (NARM). Candidates for this exam are educated in core content areas, complete a core set of clinical experiences, demonstrate core skills, and present practice plans (including care guidelines and an emergency care plan). The NARM certification process recognizes multiple routes of entry into midwifery, and most CPMs become midwives without first becoming a nurse. Many states in the U.S. license CPMs or legally recognize them in other ways.
The CPM credential requires knowledge of and experience in out-of-hospital settings, and most CPMs attend births in women's homes or in out-of-hospital birth centers. They usually do not practice in hospitals. CPMs provide prenatal care, care during labor and birth, and care of the new mother and her baby in the early weeks after birth.
Certified Midwives (CMs) are new professionals in the health care field. The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) has recently begun to certify midwives who do not also have training in nursing. Although not registered nurses, CMs may have backgrounds as physician assistants, physical therapists, or other health practitioners. CM education closely mirrors the education of certified nurse-midwives, and CMs graduate from an education program accredited by the ACNM. CMs are "certified" when they pass the same exam that the ACNM Certification Council gives to certified nurse-midwives. The settings in which they practice and the care they provide are comparable to CNMs. New York is the only state with CM licensure at this time.
Other midwives offering home birth services do not have any of the above credentials. State regulatory mechanisms for such midwives vary widely, from recognition to prohibition of their practice. Although they may have considerable education and experience, established arrangements for consulting with and referring to physicians, and other important qualifications for midwifery practice, women who are considering using their services must carefully explore these questions with the midwife.

Hi everyone,
We're in the process of rebranding licensed network edition of zimbra. Everything's done, except that we're experiencing a small bug whereby the URL for the Appbanner at the top left in "Steel" continues to point at zimbra.com, while all other skins point to the correct url. I've been through all of the _subs.txt files to confirm that the LogoURL is pointing at the right location. I've seen this bug documented at other places in the forum, but haven't been able to find a solution. I assume that I'm going to have to dig into the application JS -- can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

Thanks to DtL reader Sara for sending me the link to this video about adidas' baller development program. Yay!
It's pretty interesting to hear about the program in more detail from Gil Reyes, Sven Groenefeld, and a few of the adidas execs. WTA CEO Larry Scott and ex-ATP CEO Etienne de Villiers also make appearances.
Ana Ivanovic, Fernando Verdasco, Caroline Wozniacki, Sam Querry, Sania Mirza + Grigor Dimitrov are all interviewed in the video and discuss their experiences and the great benefits of working with the coaches and trainers. Note to Nando: you don't have to work the faux-hawk when you're lifting too. Put the gel down. Just sayin'.
PS - Sara was right about Gil's moobs being straight up boobs. Ana's got nothing on him nor do most of the lady ballers, although he and ReRe could probably share sports bras.

Inside the United States Army Dog Center–Europe
Newscast Media KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany—Man's best friend is also one of the U.S.
military's greatest assets. The military working dog (MWD) plays a vital role in fulfilling
search and seizure missions. But to be honest, whenever one sees a military working dog,
it's difficult for one to not want to pet it. This sort of socializing is problematic and
takes the dog away from its focus. Losing focus could lead the MWD to be injured,
which could jeopardize the whole mission.
And so enters the importance of the U.S. Army's Dog Center Europe. With their help,
four-legged soldiers are able to make their way back to the front lines in no time.

Item # HED0058
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Clincher Wheels in stock than that.View Similar Products
HED Ardennes FR Disc Clincher $0.00
With the current state of component innovation, the incorporation of discs to the road marketplace has become undeniable. And not surprisingly, HED has remained around a year ahead of the curve. With the Ardennes FR Disc Clincher, HED has created a wheel that's not only designed to endure the world's most brutal courses, but to actually make them enjoyable. How? Well, with a manageable weight, Centerlock hubs, an ultra-wide profile, and a construction that's based around both scandium and titanium. It's safe to say that these wheels are both cobble- and 'cross-approved.
To keep the wheel weight around 1560 grams, HED constructed the Ardennes FR Disc from the lightweight scandium material. And in the Ardennes tradition, it still features HED's proprietary C2 technology―representing the two Cs of speed, Crr and Cda, standing for the coefficient of rolling resistance and aerodynamics, respectively. With these two principles in mind, HED designed the Ardennes to create a more efficient interface with the tire, resulting in a 23mm width at the brake track. This wider-is-better technology isn't a bunch of marketing smoke and mirrors, however. It directly results in an 18% reduction to rolling resistance, and a massive gain to laminar airflow over the 24mm rim depth of the wheels. Additionally, for 'cross purposes, the 23mm width creates more surface area to glue onto, creating a more stable surface for tight cornering and rugged terrains.
HED didn't rest on its laurels when it finished the rim. In fact, the entire wheel has been reworked. The spokes are Sapim's popular and aerodynamic CX-Ray J-Bend spokes with self-securing aluminum nipples. Both wheels use 24 of them, and each have been laced two-cross for strength, responsiveness, and rigidity. The Ardennes FR Disc has also received new hubs to accommodate rotors―obviously. So, the venerable Sonic FR Hubs have been redesigned to handle the new variance of torque and stress caused by its centerlock rotor design. The new hubs run on ABEC5 bearings with oversized 12 and 15mm axles. HED spaced the flanges as widely as possible to create a stronger bracing angle that directly results in a heightened level of lateral stiffness. Also new to FR Discs, HED added grease ports to both the front and rear hubs for easy service. This is of particular value when you consider the grime and abuse that occurs in cyclocross racing. And with a mind for practicality, the centerlock rotors are removable, so you can utilize the rim braking surface for cantilevers.
As this wheel has the Flamme Rouge designation, you know everything has been pared down to reduce weight. The rim is Scandium rather than aluminum, the skewers are titanium, and the ratchet ring in the rear hub is titanium as well.
The HED Ardennes FR Disc Clincher Wheelset is available in a 700c size and in the color Black. Please note that this wheel is sold both individually and as a wheel set. Additionally, the rear wheel is only available with a Shimano/SRAM freehub compatibility.

My first western hunt was over in 2.5 hours after driving 17 hours, and it could not have been more fun! I had a blast and will be putting in for more hunts in the future. He had 14 3/4 on one side and 15 on the other.
I also seen my first bull moose outside Dubois.
Man what a hog of a buck and bull!! Congrats on your successful trip.
That's a nice one, good job. I was thinking of putting in for 27 next year but now that you got him......
I was after this one but it did'nt work out. There were 8 bucks in the draw, the one I shot was the only one that stood still long enough to steady the crosshairs.
Congratulations on your antelope. They are one beautiful animal and your buck is a dandy. He will be really good eating too!

This Week in Fashion: Shotwell Says Goodbye, McIntoshFry at MAC, Retrofit Turns 1 + Styling the Modern Man
1. Last Tuesday, Holly and Michael Weaver, the style powerhouse behind Shotwell, announced some very happy and very sad news. The darling duo is expecting a baby boy (that's the good news!), and will be moving back to Pittsburgh. That means, Shotwell will not be reopening -- a great loss for SF. As bummed as we are to see them go, we wish the three of them (four including their pup, Friday) all the best.

For maximum performance it is important to keep UK Dry Boxes, UltraCases, and LoadoutCases clean. Rinse the outside of the case with water or wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and salt water.
In applications which require the case to protect the contents from water it is important to check the seal often. Remove all accumulated dust, sand, salt crystals, fibers, etc. Check for dings or damage to the sealing surfaces. Test the seal by removing the contents of the case and submerge the resealed case in water for a few minutes. Remove and dry the case. Open it and look for leakage.
Do not store the case in direct sunlight for long periods of time such that the interior exceeds 160°F (71°C). Slight warping may occur which will affect the water resistant seal.


text: LA Noire: 'There is something remarkable going on here' Gaming 19 May 11 by Michael Parsons Rockstar LA Noire contains much that feels nicely familiar to a fan of Rockstar's games. There's the same sense of an absurdly detailed and lovingly created world, with great music, voice acting, and a rich sense of period -- the police radios play original police period radio traffic. There's the same slightly janky mission mechanics that make you feel like you're doing penance in return for the final reward of being allowed further access to the world. And there's the same sense of wonder at the sheer scale of the playground you're being invited into. The big new thing is the motion capture, which makes the digital actor's faces living performances rather than stylized masks, and is very, very good. However, it's not so much that it creates breathtaking realism as that it creates convincing film -- suddenly the cut scenes stop being a thing in between the action and become performances that are as engaging as ordinary film or TV drama. The tempo of the game is of course quite different -- it's like an old point and click adventure game, it's relatively cerebral and slow compared to most Rockstar games, and the occasional bits of running around and shooting are solid but feel peripheral to the core new character-based game mechanic, which is interrogations -- seeing a character talk, and trying to work out whether they're lying on or not. If you're a fan of James Ellroy's novels, all the stock characters are there, those noire staples of corrupt detectives, wise ass criminals, decadent movie stars, and fragile ingénues falling foul of the casting couch. The score is great, and the cars, clothes, and vibe of 1940s Los Angeles are very compelling. If Red Dead Redemption makes you want to get on a horse and ride off into the sage brush, LA Noire makes you want to climb into your police car and cruise the mean streets of LA listening to jazz - as always with Rocker's big free roamers, the environment is half the fun. I couldn't help feeling that the totally overwhelming density of information and stimuli in GTAIV represented a kind of peak -- in that game you could go into a web café and browse a hilarious parody of the web, creating a kind of Alice in Wonderland sense of getting completely lost down the virtual rabbit hole. There was a sense of Rockstar throwing in everything and the kitchen sink -- planes, trains and automobiles and jet packs. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Splendid work Ramah, glad to see you back around
Hey guys,
It's been a long time since I posted anything here. I'd like to say that in that time I've done loads and have lots to post but unfortunately that ain't the case.
Anyway, in the past week I've been trying to finally get the latest version of Vaniya completed so I can scrape that particular monkey off my back. I still ended up getting bored and frustrated with it though so honestly, I ended up fudging a lot of the labelling at the end and missing a lot off that I intended to add. It just seemed like a never ending task. :S Also, the cartouche is horribly slapdash so I apologise for that and ask you to look beyond it please.
Anyway, so finally here it is. Vaniya mk II... unless you count the Tear version as mk.II... which I don't...
I hope you like it.
Edit: This image is at 25% so it is considerably larger at full size. I may post a larger version later.

So I'd have to conclude he rose to your challenge and the root of the problem that arose resides with you and your expectation that Larry would get trounced and scurry off with his tail between his legs.
Unfortunately for you. Classifying that as a miscalculation on your is an understatement.
I am going to tell you again. That JohnnyD is not Larry. It is however somebody you really pissed off. I dont know what you did. But it must have been good.
Your actually going to accuse me of terrorizing wolfdancer??? Seriously??? We both know that entire escapade was staged in an attempt to get Larry or I. As I recall the only person sad anything about shooting any was Jack.
As far as Gayles private life goes. Lets just say it was not so much Larry actually having to do any digging but rather the information being laid at his fee. Gayle has tendency top piss people off.
The tables were never turned on my sausage like little friend. I dont know where you get that idea. Indeed it was vulgar but you have to admit it was quite creative. I did make amends afterwards.
I know nothing of Neo-Nazi's. Nor has anybody that your talking about insinuated anything that would make me suspect that they are. Of course over time there have been a few squeaks from the left.
I assume your talking about your conversation with Bishop? I wouldnt consider him ultra conservative. A very nice guy though.
As far as the attacks that you have listed there is ball busting and then there is over the top. I believe there is guilt on both sides. I dont where the truth and lies begin in the history of it. Nor do I really care. However it would be nice to see an end to it on both sides.
However I must say as an observer there were some pretty funny lines in the back and forth along the way.

Arehucas Ron Miel Rum Review
Our friends at Copa Spirits recently sent us a bottle of Arehucas Ron Miel Rum, a honey rum from the Canary Islands that they recently introduced to the United States. Arehucas is the oldest and largest rum distiller in Europe with its founding back in the 1880's. But, the history of honey rum or Ron Miel, as its known, goes back even further in the Canary Islands. For over 300 years, the inhabitants of the Canary Islands have enjoyed honey rum. Finally, Ron Miel has come to America.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - It took eight-plus seasons, but the Charlotte
Bobcats finally beat the Dallas Mavericks.
Kemba Walker had a spectacular all-around game with 26 points, six rebounds,
seven assists and eight steals in a 101-97 overtime win Saturday night at Time
Warner Cable Arena.
The Mavericks had won the first 16 games against the Bobcats in the regular
season since the franchise expanded into the league in 2004.
Until Saturday, the Bobcats had never cracked the century mark against the
Mavs. That included a 126-99 score a week ago, when O.J. Mayo made seven 3-
point shots and scored 30 for Dallas.
But this time the Bobcats tied the game with 2.8 seconds left in regulation
thanks to a driving layup from Ramon Sessions. Byron Mullens put in the go-
ahead dunk in overtime.
Mullens had 14 rebounds, while Michael Kidd-Gilchrist recorded 25 points and
12 boards for the Bobcats, who lost their previous three games. Sessions
scored 12.
Mayo had 22 points, but the Mavericks failed to hold a late lead in regulation
and lost their second in a row.

ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech fired defensive coordinator Al Groh Monday afternoon.
Groh's long career includes 13 seasons as a coach with several NFL clubs, including a one-year stint as head coach of the New York Jets in 2000.
Groh came to Georgia Tech three years ago after a nine-year run as head coach with the University of Virginia.
"The Institute has decided to go in a different direction, which I respect. I appreciate all the help and input from (assistant defensive coaches) Charles Kelly, Joe Speed and Andy McCollum, and the effort of all the players," Groh said in a statement released Monday afternoon by Tech officials.
"I aimed to give the best that I had every day. It's been an honor to be a part of the legacy of Georgia Tech football. I feel positive that this is a good time in life to move on to a new situation."

As PHY layer data rates increase, CSMA MAC overheads dominate. The 9 us slot width at 1Gbps data rate can result in MAC efficiency of under 10%. WiFi-Nano proposes a novel speculative transmission based technique that leverages self-interference cancelation and allows for using 800ns slots -- reducing CSMA overheads by an order of magnitude.
Eugenio Magsiretti, Krishna Kant Chintalapudi, Bozidar Radunovic, and Ramachandran Ramjee, WiFi-Nano : Reclaiming WiFi Efficiency through 800 ns slots, in Mobicom, 2011 (Among the 3 best paper award candidates)
Overhead due to CSMA
CSMA allows multiple devices to share the spectrum and co-exist and consequently is perhaps the important mechanism in WiFi. In CSMA, each device generates a random number and counts down to zero before transmitting its packet. Upon sensing an ongoing transmission devices suspend their countdown. However, before decrementing the counter, each device must ensure that no new transmissions were initiated and this defines the slot-width the time that a device must wait before it decrements its counter. WiFi uses a 9us slot width. At high data rates, this slot-width can account for up to 80% of the MAC overhead.
Why slot-width in WiFi is 9us
In order to facilitate CSMA, each transmission in WiFi is preceded by a 4us long preamble. Devices continuously correlate against this preamble to detect an ongoing transmission. Further, devices must allow time for switching between transmit and receive modes and allowances must be made for propagation delays of light.
WiFi-nano uses self-interference cancelation to allow detection of ongoing transmissions even while the device is itself transmitting. This allow for speculative transmissions -- where devices can begin transmitting even before they have ascertained that the medium is idle. However, upon detecting an ongoing transmission, devices can abort their transmissions. In order to enable this, WiFi-Nano uses a novel correlation technique -- the lattice correlator that allows devices to correlate against sub-parts of the preamble. WiFi-nano can now use 800 ns slots, only limited by the speed of propagation of light. Thus, WiFi Nano achieves much higher efficiency WiFi especially at higher PHY data rates.

Northwestern University football players on scholarship are employees of the school and, therefore, entitled to hold an election to decide whether to unionize, an official of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled Wednesday.
The stunning decision, coming after a push by former star quarterback Kain Colter backed by organized labor, has the potential to alter dramatically the world of big-time college sports.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and universities set the rules and strike the lucrative deals with TV networks and sponsors, exerting near total control over the activities of players known as "student athletes."
But now those football players, at least at Northwestern, are employees, too, and may seek collective-bargaining status, according to the 24-page ruling by Peter Sung Ohr, the regional director of the NLRB.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- Dead whale found on bow of cruise ship in Alaska
Most Read Stories
Ohr's decision is "revolutionary for college sports," said Robert McCormick, a professor emeritus at Michigan State University College of Law who focuses on sports and labor law.
Experts said the ruling could impact beyond Northwestern's locker room, potentially influencing other players, schools and state and federal agencies.
For example, McCormick said that if college players demand compensation for injuries sustained during training or a game, Ohr's opinion could raise the question of whether they should be treated as employees under the state Workers' Compensation Act.
The decision also opens the door for athletes with scholarships at public universities to move more quickly to unionize because state labor boards, which govern public universities, usually follow labor law interpretations issued by the NLRB.
There were many questions left unanswered, including whether a union vote among Northwestern players would succeed, but Ohr's decision is preliminary. Northwestern immediately said it will appeal to the NLRB in Washington, and experts anticipate the case ultimately could be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Northwestern believes strongly that our student-athletes are not employees, but students," the Evanston, Ill., university said in a statement. "Unionization and collective bargaining are not the appropriate methods to address the concerns raised by student-athletes."
Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott told The Seattle Times: "We disagree with the ruling and believe that health and economic issues raised by student-athletes are best handled as part of the collegiate model, between universities and their students."
Northwestern's football players are the first in college sports to seek union representation. Behind the effort is the College Athletes Players Association, or CAPA, a union funded by Ramogi Huma, a former UCLA linebacker who has become an advocate for players' rights. CAPA is backed by the United Steelworkers, which is covering legal expenses.
"This is a huge step toward justice for college athletes," Huma said.
Huma said the NCAA invented the term "student-athletes" 60 years ago in an attempt to prevent students from unionizing. Wednesday's decision, he said, asserts the rights of college athletes under labor law.
The union has said it would seek to negotiate over health and safety issues and does not intend to push for "pay-for-play" wages, which are not allowed under regulations issued by the NCAA.
Among its demands, CAPA is seeking financial coverage for former players with sports-related medical expenses, independent concussion experts to be placed on the sidelines during games and the creation of an educational trust fund to help former players graduate.
It also wants players to receive compensations for commercial sponsorships, which it says is consistent with "evolving" NCAA rules.
In siding with the union, Ohr said the football players primarily have an economic relationship with the university, which controls and directs their daily activities and compensates them in the form of scholarships, which are worth about $76,000 per academic year if the player enrolls in summer classes.
"The record makes clear that the employer's scholarship players are identified and recruited in the first instance because of their football prowess and not because of their academic achievement in high school," Ohr wrote.
Football players with scholarships, he said, "fall squarely" within the labor law's definition of an employee. Ohr said those players spend many more hours on their football duties than on their studies. Furthermore, he said, the players are subject to special rules and policies that do got govern the general population.
For example, he said, freshmen and sophomore students on scholarships are required to live on campus. Upperclassmen, he added, can live off campus but are required to submit their lease for approval to their coach, Pat Fitzgerald.
"Even the players' academic lives are controlled as evidenced by the fact that they are required to attend study hall if they fail to maintain a certain grade-point average (GPA) in their classes," Ohr wrote.
Northwestern argued that the term "student athlete" is still appropriate. "We believe that participation in athletic events is part of the overall educational experience for those students, not a separate activity."
The school had said that if students were to be found to be its employees, they would be "temporary employees" and could not engage in collective bargaining.
Ohr disagreed. Per NCAA rules, he said, the players remain on the team for at most five years, but "given the substantial length of the players' employment it is clear that they cannot be found to be temporary employees under Board law."
Last month, Colter, the union's star witness, described the grueling football schedule that led him to drop his pre-med course load and switch to a less-demanding major. Colter spoke of 50- to 60-hour workweeks and a coach who was "the bossman." He stressed that participating in football was a job, and as a result of it, he couldn't pursue his dream of becoming an orthopedic surgeon.
On Wednesday, Colter, who is training in Florida, was getting ready for practice when he saw a message from the union's attorney.
"We won!" he yelled.
Colter said he loves Northwestern and thinks Fitzgerald is the "best coach in the nation," but that doesn't take away from the fact that college football players are employees of the university and have the right to unionize, he said.
Colter said he is confident that if an election were held soon, the majority of Northwestern football players would vote to unionize. In January, he said, nearly all of the players with scholarships signed union cards.
A bemused Washington State University football coach Mike Leach, asked Wednesday about the decision, said in a teleconference with reporters: "If somebody wants to be regarded as a professional, that actually kind of suits me. If these guys are professionals, then they want everything to be like it is in the NFL. That means we're shortly going to be having a draft, and I, for one, would be pretty excited about having a whole nation of quality athletes to draft from. I'm looking forward to that."
A Northwestern scholarship player, who declined to be identified, said he was happy being a student athlete and uncertain how he would vote, but he understood Colter's argument for unionization. "I think it would benefit us because the NCAA is kind of backwards in how they kind of put restrictions on student athletes."
William Gould IV, a former chairman of the NLRB, said Ohr's decision offers a thorough, factual examination of the issues and he is confident the NLRB will uphold it.
"This is a landmark decision," Gould said. "This is going to rattle the universe of universities."
Seattle Times college football reporter Bud Withers contributed.

With all the blather about banning or restricting the construction of mosques in the United States because of Islam's alleged connections to terrorism, now is a good time to examine exactly what the religion is and what its central tenets are.
Several dozen Cincinnati residents will participate in Saturday's "Reclaim the Dream" rally in Washington, D.C.
The rally was organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Action Network after it was announced that conservative TV talk show host and self-described "rodeo clown" Glenn Beck was holding a demonstration on the mall in Washington, D.C., on the 47th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King's historic "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom."
A weekend-long Vigil for Native Life kicks off tonight downtown with a march starting at City Hall at 7 p.m. and proceeding to the William Henry Harrison monument in Piatt Park at Elm Street and Garfield Place. Participants will also visit the Hamilton County Courthouse before finishing at burial mound sites near Fountain Square.
If you care about human rights, the mere mention of the name John Yoo probably is enough to get your blood boiling and make your stomach churn.

Associated Press Release
MIAMI (AP) -- Authorities say a man who listed his occupation as "sinner" on a networking website called VampireFreaks.com lured a teen to his Surfside apartment for sex.
The Miami Herald reports that last October, 30-year-old Nelson Carrizo pleaded guilty to child porn charges.
The judge and lawyers agreed he could wait until after the holidays to surrender for his three-year prison term. He began his sentence Jan. 9.
That's when another story began to unravel. A Palm Beach County teen told police she met Carrizo on the vampire website in December and he urged her to come to Miami for sex in January.
Carrizo now faces two counts of sex with a minor and prosecutors want the judge to increase his original prison sentence to 50 years.
