Chiefs safety Eric Berry has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease and will begin chemotherapy for what doctors called a "very treatable and potentially curable" form of cancer.Hodgkin's disease, also called Hodgkin's lymphoma, is a cancer of the immune system that only represents about 8 percent of all diagnosed lymphomas. According to the National Cancer Institute, more than 9,000 people will be diagnosed with it in the United States this year.The survival rate in 1960 was about 40 percent, but advancements in medicine combined with earlier detections have increased the survival rate to more than 80 percent.Berry had been undergoing tests since an MRI exam nearly two weeks ago showed a mass on the right side of his chest that was suspected to be lymphoma."The goal of Mr. Berry's treatment is to cure his lymphoma and we are beginning that treatment now," said Dr. Christopher R. Flowers, director of the Emory Lymphoma Program at Emory's Winship Cancer Institute.Berry said he and his family are grateful for the amount of support they have received over the last couple of weeks."I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate all the words of encouragement, the blessings and well wishes. I want to thank the Emory University School of Medicine, along with Dr. Flowers and his team, for all of their hard work and effort in diagnosing and creating a plan for me to battle this thing. I will embrace this process and attack it the same way I do everything else in life. God has more than prepared me for it. For everyone sharing similar struggles, I'm praying for you and keep fighting."The former All Pro safety has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season.Berry first began feeling discomfort in his chest during a loss in Oakland on Nov. 20. The pain persisted when he showed up at the team's training facility the following day, and he immediately went through a battery of tests that included an MRI exam and CT scan. The mass was discovered that night, and Berry informed his teammates a few days later before heading to Atlanta.The Chiefs have lost both of their games since Berry was placed on the season ending non injury list, putting them in peril of missing the playoffs. Kansas City (7 6) has games remaining against the Raiders, Pittsburgh and San Diego, the latter two teams also in the playoff hunt.Berry has received widespread support since the news of his plight became public.The New York Jets tweeted Monday, "Our thoughts are with Eric Berry, his family Chiefs Nation," while berrystrong has been trending on Twitter.Berry's alma mater, Tennessee, wore helmet stickers honoring him in a recent game, and the Chiefs designed a shirt that reads, "Be Bold Be Brave Be Berry." Arizona coach Bruce Arians wore one of the shirts before the Cardinals' game against the Chiefs, and they are being sold online and at Arrowhead Stadium with proceeds going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.Hall of Fame hockey player Mario Lemieux was diagnosed with the same disease in 1993, at the height of his career. He underwent radiation and other treatment and missed about two months, and later took a leave of absence. But he ultimately returned to the Pittsburgh Penguins to finish his career.Lemieux also founded the Mario Lemiuex Foundation, which funds medical research projects while supporting numerous organizations, including the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo was also diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2008 and was successfully treated with chemotherapy. He was voted to his first All Star game this past season.Doctors diagnose Chiefs' Eric Berry with cancerMore>>Chiefs: Eric Berry has mass in chest, possibly lymphomaChiefs: Eric Berry has mass in chest, possibly lymphomaUpdated: Sunday, December 28 2014 8:57 PM EST2014 12 29 01:57:23 GMTChiefs starting safety Eric Berry has a mass in his chest, and it is likely lymphoma, team officials said Monday.

EXOTICA Rajesh Pratap Singh's bandgala with Pashminalike embroidery (left); Sabyasachi Mukherjee's oversized shirt and Heidi meets Haryana belle boho skirt in discharge prints on silkThe angarakhi tie up front as a tube top. A Napoleon uniform in ranee pink which could be titled "Bonaparte in Indian drag". Slouch skirts, the latest must have with Sloane Rangers, that would not look out of place on a village belle in Haryana.

Never has Indian fashion had a comeback that is so fast or so furious. As the sixth Lakme India Fashion Week (IFW) starts on April 20 in Delhi, the chaos that is currently dominating global fashion will be interpreted with a new creative clarity.

Boho: Gypsy skirts and voluminous petticoats, a fuller bottom half. Prints, colour and crochet, macrame and tattered lace, used by Hussein Chalayan to Prada. The "oversized" look, held together by chunky belts. It's not an on a budget traveller look, but that of a luxurious boho Bergdorf blonde. In shoes, wedges are back.

Skinny: A lean silhouette in skinny pants and capris, cropped jackets, sharp tailoring.

Classic Glam Slam: A reinvention of Hollywood classics. Satins and sashes, pearls and bling, empire lines and plunging cleavages. Strong, solid colours blue, purple, mustard and black. Layers, bows and pleats. Under petticoats are a highlight, as on Kenzo's runway. discount oakleys

Ethnic influences: African tribal jewellery, Indian, Moroccan and Japanese influences. Nehru collars, shisha work and obi sashes, as seen at Oscar de la Renta, feature as inspiration as fashion houses eye the Asian market.

The world over, the 1960s, '70s and '80s with a distinct 2000s twist are simultaneously in vogue, making it a confusing time for fashion trackers and fashion victims. Flowing ball gown dresses in satins and silks pay an ode to Hollywood glamour.

Voluminous skirts with oversized shirts and luxe belts set off with chunky, coloured wooden bangles recreate boho chic. The narrow drain pipe silhouette, with cropped jackets, fits like a second skin.

As Donatella Versace's drapes for a diva in aqua colours earn her applause for the grand "comeback collection", Delhi's satin sisters Gauri and Nainika Karan though giving IFW a miss also return to runways this season with Hollywood classics ruched gowns and satin sashes.

And if the hippie like slouch skirt the knee grazing silhouette which hangs off the hips and falls just below the knee is out in stores from Topshop to Chloe, Sabyasachi Mukherjee will put it out at IFW in orange tones and a ghaghra like volume.

Even as Giorgio Armani puts out silk jodhpuris, Tarun Tahiliani is working on Middle East inspired kilim carpet prints in silk velvet, cut into clubby jersey jackets. From New York to New Delhi, luxury and comfort, the classic and the nonconformist are coming together in an unusual marriage.

MISS SIXTIES: Rina Dhaka revisits the '60s with the silk shameuse skirtSince IFW came on the scene, Indian designers have been swathing through tulle while bringing on the brocade, trying to create their own language. If the calorie consuming, eco friendly bag ladies at Sabyasachi's show last year were draped in fabricsmadefrom vegetable dyes, this year clubby designer Malini Ramani reinvents the angarakhi as a tube top in her spiritual chic Benaras collection. cheap oakleys

Rina Dhaka does a "rearrangement of the '60s look" with high waists and silk satins, but uses jamewar shawls as inspiration for the paisley digital prints while infusing them with mesh. Goa based designer Wendell Rodricks continues to reinvent the Indian tunic, as the world now knows it, as a linen layered "tunic shirt", with a satin under petticoat on show.

CLOSE CALL Slim cut jacket and pants by RathoreAnd Manish Arora, who veered towards Japanese prints last year, only to be rapped for it by critics, returns once more to the Indian fuchsia that surrounded his "boys in an embrace" print in an earlier IFW and got him rave reviews. This season, he comes back with his answer to the military brass chic that comes up in Nicolas Ghesquiere's gold buttoned collection elsewhere in the world the Nehru collared knee length jacket inspired by a Napoleon uniform front. cheap fake oakleys store

Well copied western silhouettes can land up in retail stores as cheap options of the real thing, but don't get recognition from fashion experts. What international buyers and press have come looking for in a steady stream to IFW is, as Albert Morris of UK's Browns said last year, "a fresh perspective". As Prada uses the peacock feather to declare it as the central inspiration for its new collection in an advertisement campaign, Indian designers with an eye on the foreign market are interpreting international trends with strong cultural references.

In the years since IFW began, Kolkata's Sabyasachi and Delhi's Rajesh Pratap Singh have been the most closely followed designers in this category, offering the West the originality they are looking for without the outfits seeming like costume dressing. While Pratap's technique is determinately Indian,whether tie and dye last year or chikan this year, he gets bolder than ever with colour.

He turns for inspiration for the first time to fellow designer Rohit Bal's territory, Kashmir. Reds, magentas and oranges form the patchwork embroidery in pashmina style on his classic bandgala for women. The flower pattern from Kashmir is, in Pratap style, twisted to resemble a doodle and intercepted with circular grading for "modernity".

Pratap's trouser silhouette, while narrow and tapering and akin to the skinny pants of the west that have overtaken the bootleg of the past decade, has strong churis at the ankle. Ramaniis making cargo pocketed versions of it in mustard ("the colour of curry", as the west terms it, which is vibrant this season and has been seen on the runways of Dries van Noten to Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs). Valaya in black and white print inspired by Peru pottery and teamed with wool embroidered ponchos. Seen in bits and parts of runways last year, most designers are now making a case for the churidaar as a stand alone silhouette.

After the kurti, this could be the next Indian silhouette adopted by the world. Celebrated Indian embroideries will enhance ponchos and skirts at the event, from Shane and Falguni Peacock to Rohit Bal. But while surface ornamentation offers Indian uniqueness, there are some like Mukherjee who are Indian in context. While this "Indian sensibility" is evident to anybody who has walked into a neighbourhood boutique and faced clashing embroideries and sequins, a talented designer can use it to create a whole new statement.

In the works of Sabyasachi, for instance, the many elements come together in a manner that sets it apart from both costume dressing and kitsch. Consider his collection this year all about an exaggerated volume of boho, but the detailing is as diverse as it is intricate. The waist, the point of accent this year, is highlighted with embroidery using clusters of pearl, English bullion and Swarovski. Bands of cloth, from flannel to lambswool, are sewn on as detailing even as badges from blazers of convent schools are used as applique.

The collection has an anti technology, old world, hand made feel, as if lovingly but clumsily stitched together by grandma. While designer Mandira Wirk showed Gautier like tiered skirts outside of IFW, also leaning towards boho is last year's mistress of Morocco Ranna Gill. Her petticoats are "antique white, lavender and dahlia", but with Indian folk inspired elements like gota and Kutch embroidery.

There is no one formula for a look that works, no guarantees of what will emerge on the runway as "fresh" even as it speaks a universal language. That's what they mean by fashion being an unpredictable beast.

Waaia playing coach Greg Meyland successfully appealed two weeks of his eight week Picola District Football League suspension in Melbourne on Monday night.

Meyland was handed an eight week suspension by the PDFL independent tribunal for two charges of unbecoming conduct on June 4.

The charges related to two separate incidents during the May 10 clash between the Bombers and Katunga, one which left Greg Joinbee with a broken jaw and another which involved Swans player Oliver Small.

Meyland originally received six weeks for the Joinbee incident and another two for the Small incident, prompting an appeal from the Bombers coach.

The appeal was heard at Princess Park on Monday night and while the six week sentence for the Joinbee incident was upheld, the two week sentence for the Small incident was dropped. Whitney Mercilus Jersey

Meyland said he was unhappy with the process of the PDFL tribunal in hearing the case.

''I want to make it clear that this is Greg Meyland speaking and not the Waaia Football Club, but I am extremely disappointed with the way the Picola league conducted the initial hearing,'' Meyland said. Tom Savage Jersey

''I did not get a fair hearing. We were not allowed to cross examine or tell my side of the story and I believe I was hung out to dry.''

Meyland said he would not have appealed the six weeks for the Joinbee incident, but was disappointed with the process which saw him charged with a second incident.

''I'm gutted by the process. It's a shadow on a terrific league,'' Meyland said.

''I've played in the league for a number of years and I thought it was a real slap in the face.

''I'm not happy that Greg Joinbee has a broken jaw. I never meant for that to happen, but in my opinion I was provoked, which is why I pleaded guilty under provocation to that charge. Authentic Brian Hoyer Jersey

''If I got six weeks, I would have respected that decision and the league for giving me a fair trial.''

PDFL president Shane Railton said the league followed protocol in all the elements under its control.

''As far as all the issues that come under the league's control, we followed protocol and we're happy with that,'' Railton said.

''The appeal process was exactly the same as the tribunal, which indicates to me that our processes were right.'' C.J. Fiedorowicz Womens Jersey

However, Railton said the league would seek clarification as to whether the two charges should have been heard as different cases.

''I'm not a tribunal member and I certainly don't have the experience the members did (on Monday night), but I feel they should have been run as different cases,'' Railton said.

Waaia president Richard Trimby said Meyland had the club's full support and hoped the issue could be put to bed.

''While the club was disappointed with the outcome and aspects of the process, it will abide by the resolution of the appeals board,'' Trimby said.

''Greg Meyland has the full support of the football club and we hope the incident could be put aside between the two clubs and the players concerned.''

EUGENE, Ore. Micah Harris closes his eyes and he is transported to the University of Oregon Hayward Field.

He is in the starting blocks for the 110 meter hurdles. He can hear the rhythmic claps for the field events. He can see the bronze statue of legendary Oregon track coach and Nike co founder Bill Bowerman, holding a stopwatch in his left hand. He can see the orange polyurethane track with white lane lines, the cantilevered roofs above the seating areas on both sides, the emerald pine trees on the hills rimming the historic stadium. Wholesale NFL Jerseys

run by the first part of the stands, that where the crowd carries you, Harris says. when you accelerate. It so electrifying. gallops over one 42 inch hurdle, then another and another.

Then he opens his eyes. He in Ione, a dusty town 40 miles southeast of Sacramento. He at Mule Creek State Prison, staring at the ceiling of a cement cell.

gonna kill me, the 911 caller kept screaming. gonna kill me. times, she said it. on March 10, 2006, and found a San Diego State student described in court documents only as T. face was swollen, and her left eye was swollen almost shut, the court documents say. upper lip was split and bleeding profusely. When asked to compare Jacqueline injuries to those he had seen after other beatings, Barmer testified this was the second worst beating he had seen in his 20 years in law enforcement. was apprehended that morning at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, in Suite 127, where he lived and trained as a 110 meter hurdler. nfl jerseys china

He and Jacqueline had met the night before at the Sidebar nightclub in downtown San Diego, where Harris worked part time as a security guard. They danced, kissed, flirted, and then Harris offered to drive Jacqueline to her car in Mission Valley. They parked. Jacqueline got in her car.

Jacqueline later testified that Harris appeared irritated while she spoke to a friend on her cell phone and without warning he began punching her through the open car window, then ordered her into the back seat and attempted to pin her down. When she ran toward a nearby apartment complex and started to climb into a patio, court documents say, Harris forced her head against a metal railing, out a tooth and breaking a bone in her jaw. doctor testified Jacqueline had suffered nasal fractures, a cheek bone fracture, a hematoma to her ear, blunt trauma to her eyeball, dental trauma, bruising to her neck, and bruising and swelling throughout her face. July 2006, a jury in San Diego Superior Court convicted Harris of torture, mayhem, assault with intent to commit a specified sex act, and assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury. He was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole, the penalty for a torture conviction in California.

Off to Ione he went. Five rings had become two, around his wrists. Olympic Trials begin today at Hayward Field. Harris won be there.

This was supposed to be his grand homecoming, the culmination of a promising career, the convergence of training, experience and familiarity. He had lowered his personal record to a respectable 13.38 seconds. He had been admitted to the resident program at the Olympic Training Center. He be 29, when hurdlers are rounding into their prime. And he be in the comfortable confines of Hayward Field.

very emotional for me, Harris was saying last week in a telephone interview from Mule Creek State Prison, a medium security facility, I got a scholarship to the University of Oregon. I got really excited when I heard the Trials were going (there). I devastated that I got myself in legal trouble. I let my family down. I let my friends down. I let my coaches down.

feel really remorseful about the whole situation. Someone got hurt. That wasn my intention. It just turned ugly. today, eat breakfast and be in the prison yard at 8 for a two hour workout on the grass, refining his sprint technique, doing 1,000 sit ups and push ups because the prison doesn have weight equipment, jumping over imaginary hurdles because the prison doesn have hurdles. He writes all his own workouts and tapes them to the wall of his cell. He has other inmates watch him because he doesn have a coach or video camera.

keep me honest, Harris says. use their eyes. shower and eat lunch, then return to the yard to play some basketball, then go inside and watch NBC afternoon telecast of the Trials on TV.

Many inmates want to forget what they don have. Harris wants to remember.

He has a friend mail him articles about track and field. He knows Dayron Robles of Cuba recently lowered the hurdles world record to 12.87 seconds. He knows Liu Xiang of China, the 2004 Olympic gold medalist and the favorite in Beijing, false started at the Prefontaine Meet last month and was disqualified.

know, it a passion, Harris says. love this sport. I continue because the Olympic journey, everything is not easy. It a journey. The road happens to come through prison for me, but it doesn mean I have to stop dreaming.

what the Olympics are about. It not what happens when times are good. It what happens when times go bad. It how you respond to it, that what I focused on. Anything is possible. Why, because I in prison, should it be different for me? pauses, and the phone line from Mule Creek State Prison crackles.

Harris says he thinks in increments. In Olympiads.

He isn eligible for parole until 2013, a few months after the 2012 Olympics in London. His only chance of being released in time to qualify for 2012 is for the torture conviction to be overturned, the basis of an appeal that went before a three judge panel in San Diego last month. Nike NFL Jerseys China

Harris attorney argued there is insufficient evidence to prove he acted, as the penal code on torture states, the intent to cause cruel or extreme pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion, or for any sadistic purpose. judge agreed, writing that Harris attack on Jacqueline was unquestionably brutal, his actions do not constitute the type of conduct that the electorate intended to prohibit. two judges didn and by a 2 1 margin the original verdict was affirmed. Two weeks ago Harris petitioned the California Supreme Court to hear his case.

It his last resort, and the statistics are not in his favor. The California Supreme Court receives an estimated 2,000 petitions each year and grants hearings to less than 10 percent. wholesale jerseys

Minus the torture conviction, Harris could be free as soon as next June. He can do the math. He be 33 at the 2012 Olympics. He be 37 in 2016.

just want people to understand that I truly remorseful, Harris says. been thinking about it since this whole thing went down. People make mistakes. I would love to get a second chance. I was wrong and I have to pay a price for my actions. That I understand.

I be punished? Yes. How long? That up to the court. District Attorney Kristen Spieler, the prosecutor in the original trial, was read what Harris said.

think he sorry for what he did, Spieler says, I think he sorry because of what it did to his life. Micah had a chance to maybe compete in the Olympics. Most kids only dream of that, and by his actions he threw it away.

think he still blames other people for what happened to him. I don think he ever come to grips with what he did. My take is that his focus now, as it was then, is on himself. which Keith Rutman, Harris attorney, says: much as he would like to, he can do anything to make her better, make her pain go away or console her. He can only focus on himself and make himself a better person and hope that she can see he has truly become a better person and forgive him as a result. That all he can do. in Ione, Harris lies in his bed and closes his eyes and is transported to Hayward Field. He smells the air, hears the crowd, sees the orange polyurethane track with white lane lines.

a. A concentration of a substance that is detectable, but too minute for accurate quantitative determination.

b. A quantity of precipitation that is insufficient to be measured by a gauge. c. A sign, evidence, or indication of a former presence; specif. a mark left behind by an extinct animal, such as a trace fossil. d. The record of the output of one geophone group with time after the shot, displayed on paper, film, or magnetic tape. e. CF: trend; strike. f. A very small quantity of a chemical constituent or component, esp. when not quantitatively determined because of extremely low concentrations. g. To follow the lode on the surface, and to lay it open by long pits. h. Recording on the seismogram of a single seismometer station.

This method, as applied for the measurement of airflow in headings, can be used for determining velocities below the working range of the vane anemometer. The tracer used is normally nitrous oxide. The technique consists of releasing a quantity of tracer gas, either instantaneously or over a timed interval. The tracer then diffuses throughout the airstream until a position is reached where it is uniformly dispersed over the cross section of the airway. At such a position, samples are taken and these are put through the analyzer to determine the gas concentration.

A group of fine grained, generally porphyritic, extrusive rocks having alkali feldspar and minor mafic minerals (biotite, hornblende, or pyroxene) as the main components, and possibly a small amount of sodic plagioclase; also, any member of that group; the extrusive equivalent of syenite. Trachyte grades into latite as the alkali feldspar content decreases, and into rhyolite with an increase in quartz. Etymol: Greek trachys, rough, in reference to the fact that rocks of this group are commonly rough to the touch.

Track brakes, similar to those used on surface tramcars, may be installed on heavy downgrades underground to supplement other braking systems; they apply blocks to the rails by mechanical, pneumatic, or electromagnetic power. The normal shoe brake must be designed to work in conjunction with the track brakes so that the wheels are not skidded when the track brakes utilize part of the weight of the locomotive. Electromagnetic track brakes may utilize the braking currents produced in rheostatic braking to excite the electromagnets, which are then pulled down onto the rails and produce a strong retarding pull.

This type of excavator operates in general the same as a slackline cableway, except that it uses a bottomless scraper bucket that must convey its load over the ground instead of through the air. Like the slackline cableway, this machine is operated by a two drum hoist that controls a track cable that spans the working area and a haulage cable that leads to the front of the bucket. Both cables are reeved through sheave blocks attached to a high guyed mast or tower at the head end of the installation. When the bucket comes in with a load and reaches the desired dumping point, a few rotations of the rear drum of the hoist serve to tighten the track cable and lift the bucket off its load; then the brake is released on the front drum that controls the haulage cable, permitting the empty bucket and carrier to glide back down the inclined track cable.

a. The effort exerted by a locomotive at the rim of its driving wheels; it is a function of its weight, the nature of its tires, and the condition of the track. It is equal to the weight of the locomotive times the adhesion of the locomotive to the track. For steel wheels on clean dry track the adhesion is 25%, and the tractive effort is therefore 500 lb/st of weight (250 kg/t). For cast iron wheels the adhesion is 20%.

b. The necessary drawbar pull plus the resistance of the locomotive itself. c. See: tractive force.

a. The pull exerted by a haulage rope on the drawbar of a car to overcome the frictional resistance of the car and the force of gravity acting on it. Also, the force available at the wheels of a locomotive to move the machine and its attached load. Syn: tractive effort.

b. The pull that a locomotive is capable of producing at its drawbar. c. In hydraulics, drag or shear developed on the wetted area of a streambed, acting in the direction of flow. As measured per unit of wetted area, unit tractive force equals the specific weight of water times hydraulic radius times slope of channel bed (Chow, 1957).

a. A cable for carrying electricity from a permanent line or trolley wire to a movable machine, such as used in mining or quarrying. The cable is heavily insulated and protected with either galvanized steel wire armoring, extra stout braiding hosepipe, or other material. It is usually paid out from a reel as the machine advances. See also: individually screened trailing cable.

b. A flexible insulated cable used for transmitting power from the main power source, such as a trolley wire, nipping station, or junction box, to a mobile machine. It includes cables between the nipping station and distribution center.

a. A device actuated by one transmission system and supplying related waves to another transmission system; the input and output energies may be of different forms.

b. CF: geophone.

a. The spread or extension of the sea over land areas, and the consequent evidence of such advance (such as strata deposited unconformably on older rocks, esp. where the new marine deposits are spread far and wide over the former land surface). Also, any change (such as rise of sea level or subsidence of land) that brings offshore, typically deep water environments to areas formerly occupied by nearshore, typically shallow water conditions, or that shifts the boundary between marine and nonmarine deposition (or between deposition and erosion) outward from the center of a marine basin. Ant: regression. CF: onlap. Syn: invasion; marine transgression.

b. See also: unconformity.

This term was first used by R. Thiessen in 1930 referring to the attritus of ordinary humic coal, which is ordinarily composed largely of transparent humic matter, with spores, cuticles, resins, and opaque matter in minor proportions. Translucent attritus consists of the complex residual organic matter, exclusive of anthraxylon, in bituminous lower rank coal that transmits light in thin section. The following macerals of the Stopes Heerlen nomenclature are included in translucent attritus: vitrinite less than 14 mu m thick; sporinite; cutinite; alginite; resinite; and those parts of semifusinite, micrinite, and sclerotinite that are weakly reflecting, that is semitranslucent. Translucent attritus is a collective term and is not comparable with any of the microlithotypes of the European system of nomenclature.

a. The degree to which visible light is transmitted through a solid. Syn: diaphaneity. CF: translucency; opaque. replica oakleys

b. The capacity of seawater to transmit light; the depth to which water is transparent may be measured by use of a Secchi disc. c. A positive image, either black and white or in color, on a clear base (glass or film), intended to be viewed by transmitted light; a diapositive.

a. In seismology, a wave motion in which the motion of the particles, or the entity that vibrates, is perpendicular to the direction of progression of the wave train.

b. In geophysics, a body seismic wave advancing by shearing displacements. c. The gravity wave in which fluid parcels move in circular orbits is an example of a mixed transverse longitudinal wave. The Rossby wave is also mixed, except in the case of zero current speed, when it is a transverse wave. Syn: distortional wave; secondary wave. See also: S wave.

a. Any dark colored fine grained nongranitic rock, such as a basalt, peridotite, diabase, or fine grained gabbro; also applied to any such rock used as crushed stone. Syn: trapp; traprock; trappide. CF: whinstone.

b. c. A door used for cutting off a ventilating current and that is occasionally opened for haulage or passage. See also: trapdoor. d. A device to separate denser material from less dense material, such as entrained water in a stream or a compressed air line. e. That portion of any mass of porous, permeable rock that is sealed on top and down the sides by relatively nonporous and impermeable rock and that lies above the intersection of a horizontal plane passing through the lowest point of complete sealing.

a. A sequence or system of measured lengths and directions of straight lines connecting a series of surveyed points (or stations) on the Earth's surface, obtained by or from field measurements, and used in determining the relative positions of the points (or stations).

b. A line surveyed across a plot of ground. c. To make a traverse; to carry out a traverse survey. See also: traverse survey. d. A vein or fissure in a rock, running obliquely and in a transverse direction. e. A line across a thin section or other sample along which grains of various minerals are counted or measured.

The basic idea of this system is to confine the mine car circuit to the smallest possible compass near the mine shaft. This avoids locking up cars on the surface that are better employed underground and reduces labor requirements. In this system, instead of the use of shunt backs on car circuits, the direction of car travel is changed by running onto a portable platform that then moves the car bodily in a transverse direction. The system can be applied, in conjunction with the necessary lifts, to multideck cages. This system may be operated electrically, hydraulically, or pneumatically. nike schuhe damen

One of three recognized methods for determining the average velocity of airflow along a mine roadway by an anemometer. This is the general routine procedure applied when measuring air velocities in mine roadways. While the instrument is running, it is slowly and steadily moved up and down a series of imagined vertical lines, so as to cover equal areas in equal time. The total period is usually 1 min for a medium sized roadway. The integrated reading is then the mean velocity for that section. CF: division method; single spot method.

a. A dense, finely crystalline, massive or concretionary limestone; generally white, tan, or cream; commonly having a fibrous or concentric structure and splintery fracture; formed by rapid chemical precipitation of calcium carbonate from solution in surface and ground waters, such as by agitation of stream water or by evaporation around the mouth or in the conduit of a spring, esp. a hot spring. It also occurs in limestone caves, where it forms stalactites, stalagmites, and other deposits; as a vein filling; along faults; and in soil crusts. The spongy or less compact variety is tufa. See also: cave onyx; onyx; onyx marble. Syn: calcareous sinter; calc sinter.

b. A term that has been applied to any cave deposit or calcium carbonate. c. A term used inappropriately as a syn. of kankar. d. Etymol. Italian tivertino from the old Roman name of Tivoli, a town near Rome, where travertine forms an extensive deposit. Also spelled travertin. Syn: travertine marble. DeAndre Hopkins Jersey

Two kids at a daycare in Palatine, a northern suburb of Chicago, have confirmed cases of the disease and three others are showing symptoms.

Those cases have parents and doctors on alert here in Wisconsin.

"The more stories you hear about it, the more nervous you get," said Joel Webber, who has a 2 year old son, Rhodes.

Webber says the measles outbreak is definitely on his radar and Rhodes is up to date on vaccinations.

"For his sake and for the sake of the children around him as well," Webber said.

But young kids, like Rhodes, only have the first of two shots in the measles, mumps and rubella series. The second MMR shot is typically given between ages four and five.

"The first dose does provide some good immunity to measles, usually about 97 percent effective for providing some level of immunity," said Dr. Nicole Baumann Blackmore, a pediatrician at Meriter Hospital. "The second dose bumps it up to about 99 percent."

Dr. Baumann Blackmore says she encourages parents to vaccinate, but in Wisconsin you can opt out for religious, philosophical or medicine reasons. According to the CDC in the 2013 2014 school year, 4.9 percent of kids starting kindergarten were not vaccinated. The sixth highest of any state in the country that year. Authentic Aldon Smith Jersey

"We are definitely worried about it," said Dr. Baumann Blackmore. "Measles is extremely contagious. About 90 percent of people who are exposed to measles who do not have proper immunity to it will develop the disease." Anthony Davis Jersey

Webber says he understands if a child has medical reasons to opt out, but he believes if a child can be vaccinated, they should be. Authentic Logan Ryan Jersey
