- "This single shot grenade launcher will fire a grenade farther, at a higher velocity and with more accuracy than any thrown by hand. Must be reloaded after every shot, but is powerfully effective. Learn to bounce grenades off walls and around corners to take out your rivals."
- ―TLAD Official Website
The Grenade Launcher is a weapon that appears in The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony, and Grand Theft Auto V.
The Lost and Damned
The weapon is based on the HK69A1 grenade launcher. The grenade launcher fires 40 mm grenades greater distances than a person throwing a hand grenade and is about as effective as a pipe bomb. It is best for removing cover, such as a car, however, the grenade does not land in a particular spot, making it less accurate. The grenade detonates on a five second fuse. Grenades can be fired at and bounced off walls to reach tricky targets. When engaging long range targets, the player must arc the shot (aim higher than the target) in order to compensate for gravity. Although the grenade launcher is ill-suited for aerial targets, the player can carry more rounds than the RPG allows.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
In the Ballad of Gay Tony, the Grenade Launcher features an interesting improvement in which the grenade explodes on impact if it hits a vehicle or person. Also, the time it takes for the grenade to explode has been shortened to about 2.5 seconds.
The grenade launcher is only available from either Terry Thorpe in The Lost and Damned or Armando Torres in The Ballad of Gay Tony. In The Lost and Damned, the weapon spawns at the Lost MC Clubhouse and Brian Jeremy's Safehouse after completing 50 Gang Wars.
Grand Theft Auto V
In Grand Theft Auto V, It is based on a multiple shot, revolver-type launcher, the Milkor MGL. Unlike in The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, this launcher will be able to fire more than one grenade before reloading. It comes with a 10-round ammo capacity, which is oddly out of place, for the MGL itself as the real life version can only hold six.
Customizations (GTA V)
- Grip (more stability, slightly increases accuracy) - $320
- Flashlight (provides additional light) - $462
- Scope (mid-range zoom, slightly increases accuracy) - $1312
- Grenades (20 rounds) - $50
- Black (default) - Equipped by default
- Army Tint (Desert sand) - $100
- LSPD Tint (Metallic Blue) - $600
In Game
HUD Icons
- In the end of a catwalk inside a hangar at south of Los Santos International Airport.
- Given in the mission Trevor Phillips Industries
- It was originally going to make an appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City but was taken out without any explanation. Its model (grenlanc.dff) and its textures (grenlanc.txd), still remain on the PS2 disc. These files were removed from all other ports of the game.
- It's possible to shoot down low flying helicopters with a Grenade Launcher.

Well, it's back to the basics. A $40 million dollar jackpot is all we have in tonight's Powerball drawing.
That means you can take home $25.1 million cash if you take it all at once.
The winning Powerball numbers for Saturday February 9, 2013 are (as drawn):
58-36-16-06-05 and the Powerball is 03.
Good luck!

So I plan to compete raw in my first meet at the start of march. I have used very little of my lifting belt the past few years, and planned to get used to it again before the meet, well I have been trying but I guess not hard enough, my last heavy squat session was reverse band box squats and I seemed to be getting used to it. Although I couldn't get used to a belt for deadlifts and was thinking I would compete without.
Well last night I throw the belt on and it's getting too small almost, getting close to the final couple settings on it. I was struggling with 365 lbs to even hit depth and thought I was going to fall over. I worked up to 425 with wraps, and it just felt so odd to me. Keep in mind I have done 445x5 without belt on squats with ease recently a couple times.
I can make excuses about my sinus infection and not training for 2 weeks, then training anyways while still sick etc that put me behind when I was going to focus more on preparing for the meet, but it doesn't do any good. the meet is coming up and I'm not prepared.
I feel like in my mind I have two options. So if you guys have others or input on the ideas I have please feel free to offer it.
Option 1: Compete without a belt or wraps or anything, shoot for maybe 500 lb S/DL
Option 2: Start lifting in equipment every session, do a fast paced periodization or progression system, low weight start and solid frequency as I move it up and focus on getting used to the movement with equipment.
Also part of this time is obviously going to be a deload needed before the meet, so I really don't have much time left. I'm weighing about 243 right now, don't plan to cut at all before, so probably will weigh in close to 250 at the meet. I was 217 mid november when I started eating in prep for this, I went with a training protocol that has worked for me in the past that relies heavily on 5 reps, but also incorporates ME days although more spread out than westside, there's a name for this type of progression system but I forgot it. Cycling periodization or something else. My entire training log is online if anyone wants to view it to help with advice I will send them a link. I know I have a lot to learn but this set up has given me the most lasting gains in a well rounded fashion.
Ideally my goals would be to hit a 600/400/600 raw in competition. My bench is another issue, I haven't done any pause bench practice, my best single without any bands or boards or any other type of work is 385 done back when I weighed about 220. recently I did 365x5 with ease. So I need to include some way of practicing a pause bench. Also I don't have any training partners in this small town, I lift in my garage.
I really don't have much time, I want this meet to be an enjoyable experience. But I also want to feel like I lifted my best at the meet, and would like to actually get white lights on my lifts as well. I know a lot can go wrong your first meet. But what would you guys suggest I do? Do I need to try and get a new belt? could that be part of the awkwardness since it's on like the third to last setting? I plan to drop back down to 200-220 later in the year to lose bf.

Last week, Dutch venture capital firm SanomaVentures announced their plans to invest in Amsterdam Founder Institute grad, Peerby. Founded by Daan Weddepohl, Peerby is aiming to change the way people consume durable goods. The platform allows users to find items in their neighborhood to borrow, like an electric mixer for that rare baking occasion, or an extra suitcase for your weekend getaway. Peerby is unique as it not only helps users save money through borrowing or renting - it also connects people with their neighbors.
In response to the good news, Weddepohl said: "Sanoma's investment is going to help us to develop faster and to reach a broader audience. Sanoma Media's expertise and communication channels add a lot of additional value to its financial investment." Spawned from Sanoma Corporation, one of Europe's leading media companies, Peerby lucked out with the investment from SanomaVentures. Not only will the be receiving capital, the company's aim is also to support innovative initiatives in digital information, entertainment and education by providing start-ups with capital, media exposure, expertise and access to its professional network.
Specific details of the investment remain unknown, however, Herman Kienhuis, investment director at Sanoma Media said: "I really believe in Peerby's potential; they could create a whole new market for sharing durable goods. By supporting them at this early stage, we hope that we're able to give them a flying start. And Peerby is perfectly compatible with Sanoma's mission to help people with their daily (information) needs, enriching their lives and making them easier".

Luke's Zorua is Luke's main Pokémon and it has often appeared outside of its Poké Ball. It is thought to be female because it has a preference to transform into female individuals, most notably Princess Julia in Luke's movie.
Known Moves
|Shadow Ball
|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokemon Knight"!
|Night Daze
|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokemon Knight"!
|+ indicates this Pokémon used this move recently.*
- indicates this Pokémon normally can't use this move.
Zorua has a tendency to transform into other people (like Iris and Georgia) in order to purposefully make them angry, much like the Zorua in the movie "Pokemon Movie 13 - Zoroark Master of Ilusions" did to Dawn.

Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - John Mayberry knocked in three runs and scored
once to help the Philadelphia Phillies take a 10-5 decision over the New York
Yankees on Friday in spring training action.
Jimmy Rollins registered two RBI and a run scored, while Freddy Galvis, Darin
Ruf and Humberto Quintero added an RBI apiece for the Phillies.
Philadelphia starter Roy Halladay allowed just one run on three hits and a
walk over 2 1/3 innings to earn the victory.
Addison Maruszak finished with two RBI, while Melky Mesa and Ronnier Mustelier
each launched solo shots for the Yankees.
New York starter Huroki Kuroda gave up four runs -- one earned -- on three
hits and a walk over 1 2/3 frames to absorb the loss.

text: Natalie from Sophisticated Yellow came across an ad for Restoration Hardware's Montpellier Armoire and fell in love with its dark, bold, and commanding look. Not surprisingly, it was also expensive. However, Natalie happened to have two old armoires sitting in her garage that looked remarkably similar. A few coats of paint later and some light sanding was all it took to transform her old armoires into Restoration Hardware's black beauties.

These Dell 5110cn toner cartridges can produce a high page yield. The color Dell toner cartridge can print as much as 8000 pages, while the black Dell 5110cn toner cartridges can print 10,000 pages.

Last week, ESPN.com's Bill Simmons apologized for writing that he "hated" Duke. "I should have written 'disliked,' 'loathed' or even 'abhorred,' " Simmons explained. " 'Hate' is a strong word."
Loyal Sports Nut readers, we make you this promise: We will never apologize for hating Duke, or any other team. But especially Duke.
In 2005, Sports Nut previewed the NCAA Tournament by spewing bile at the Blue Devils, as well as Syracuse, Chattanooga, and eight more reprehensible institutions of higher learning. This year, we're bringing the hate to Florida, Eastern Kentucky, and Notre Dame. And don't worry, Dukies—we've got a little more venom saved up for you.
Duke University, Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 6 in West Region
Duke's hatefulness is a well-established theme. What makes this year special is that the Blue Devils have gone from being loathsome to being contemptible. Two weeks ago, Duke's Gerald Henderson punctuated a blowout loss by viciously elbowing North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough. This wasn't just the play of a goon—it was the play of a loser.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski denied that any thuggery took place. "That's not the way he plays, and that's not the way we play," announced the celebrated motivational speaker and ethicist. Krzyzewski has yet to disavow his team's pitiful state. Maybe the coach was busy doing makeup for a Chevy commercial when the NBA blocked high-schoolers from the draft. As the talent level in college rose, the talent in Durham somehow sagged to pitiful depths. Krzyzewski's team looks less like a McDonald's All-American Team than McDonald's soft-serve ice cream: schlumpy, slow-moving, and vanilla.
Overmatched at skills like running and shooting, the Blue Devils have gone to a walk-it-up offense, backed by their usual grabby, rugby-rules defense. It's ugly to watch—Duke scored fewer than 80 points in all but three games—but it's also ineffective. The Devils lost at home to Florida State, were swept by Maryland and North Carolina, and got bounced from the play-in round of the league tournament. It's a résumé that would get some schools into the NIT. It earned Duke a healthy No. 6 seed in the NCAAs. Even in eclipse, they still know how to work the officials.—Tom Scocca
Eastern Kentucky University, Ohio Valley Conference, No. 16 in East Region At first, I thought I might love Eastern Kentucky. The little-known school eked its way into the NCAA Tournament with a buzzer-beating, one-point win in the OVC championship game. Now the prognosticators think the Colonels will get slaughtered by the big, bad North Carolina Tar Heels. Well, call me cold-hearted, but I wouldn't want it any other way. Eastern Kentucky is everything that's wrong with the NCAA Tournament.
That's a bold statement for someone who's never seen Eastern Kentucky play. But the numbers alone tell me there's nothing spunky or hard-nosed about this underdog. Like so many other would-be Cinderellas, the Colonels' secret recipe consists of chucking up 3-pointers and hoping for the best. The Eastern Kentucky guys play lousy defense, they don't hit the boards, and they almost never foul anyone. On top of that, the team takes it slow on every possession, endlessly passing the ball around the perimeter like a bunch of weenies.
On Thursday, the Colonels will do their best to slow down a talented Tar Heel team that loves to run the floor. Tune in and you'll see an unexciting team fight desperately to impose its sluggishness on one of the most entertaining teams of recent years. It's one thing to go down fighting; it's another to make things boring when you do.—Daniel Engber
Texas A&M University, Big 12 Conference, No. 3 in South Region
There is an ongoing debate in college basketball about the morality of rushing the court after a victory. It's far from a matter of settled law, but we state-school snots generally agree that court-rushing should be rare, safe, and legal. Act like you've been there, etc.
This brings me to the Texas A&M Aggies, the archrival of my alma mater, the University of Texas. A&M was playing a big game at Kansas on Feb. 3. The Jayhawks had never lost to a Big 12 South team on their home court, and a victory would cement the Aggies' ascendance from also-ran to a national power.
Back in College Station, a few dozen Aggie fans gathered at Reed Arena, A&M's empty home court, to watch the game on the Jumbotron. Sure enough, the Aggies won on a last second 3-pointer by their marvelous point guard, Acie Law IV. And then the students at Reed Arena rushed the court. That's right, they rushed the empty basketball court. You can watch the YouTube clip of the sordid display here. It looks like something we used to do at church camp when told to "make some noise." Should we hate them or just pity them?—Bryan Curtis
Oral Roberts University, Mid-Continent Conference, No. 14 in East Region
If Oral Roberts weren't Oral Roberts, the Golden Eagles would be easy to cheer for. After 22 years without a tourney bid, ORU just won its second straight title in the Mid-Continent Conference, a bizarro grab-bag whose members include such far-flung institutions as Southern Utah and Michigan's Oakland University. This turnaround, authored by second-generation coach Scott Sutton and NBA prospect Caleb Green, is a great story … until you remember that it's ORU.
Televangelist Oral Roberts, the school's founder, preaches "seed faith," a doctrine that's indistinguishable from a constant pitch for donations. What do you get for your money? Campus landmarks like a 30-ton statue of praying hands and the TV studio whence the ministry pleads, hourly, for more cash.
If you think ORU takes a hard line on donations, check out this grandiosely illiberal liberal arts college's policy on cursing. Or gambling, sex, homosexuality, and men wearing earrings. All are banned—though they may have a point on the earring thing. Like everyone else, I'm inclined to pull for double-digit seeds. But personally, I'd rather my underdogs be tougher on defense than they are on male jewelry.—David Roth
Indiana University, Big Ten Conference, No. 7 in West Region
As an Illinois fan, I find it almost too easy to hate Indiana. Mostly, I can't stomach the trite mythology of the Hoosier State as the keeper of the Naismith flame, which is fanned by legions of towheaded middle-schoolers robotically practicing free throws on barn-door backboards. They do so, apparently, because Basketball Builds Character, although you wouldn't know it from the odious coaches that IU tends to hire.
Implausible as it may seem, new Indiana head coach Kelvin Sampson is more loathsome than Bobby Knight ever was. Whereas The General was just an everyday chair-throwing hothead, Sampson's more like Snidely Whiplash. He lurks in the shadows of high-school gymnasiums, tying rival coaches to the railroad tracks and absconding with their recruits.

The closing of a school is, with rare exceptions, a sad occasion.
This is due, it seems to me, to the unique nature of schools.
No building seems as empty as a shuttered school, for the simple reason that no building seems so full as one occupied by children who are learning to add fractions and to subtract superfluous adverbs from their sentences.
Playgrounds look particularly forlorn when deprived of kids. The sight of a ball field with basepaths overrun by dandelions rather than sneakers is a dismal one indeed.Two of Baker City's schools will be closed when classes start in September. That makes three schools this decade — almost half the city's total.
The pending closures seem to me especially melancholy because the two schools, North Baker and the Central Building on the middle school campus, are older than the four schools that will stay open.
North Baker turns 100 this year. The Central Building, which served as Baker High School for its first 35 years, opened in 1917.
Besides their longevity, the two schools are significant for their structure. Both were built from locally quarried volcanic tuffstone, the distinctive brown rock that also constitutes the backbone of Baker City Hall and the Baker County Courthouse, among others.
These are, of course, merely unfortunate coincidences — the school board bears no special grudge against old buildings assembled from native materials.
Still and all, I can't suppress a twinge of nostalgia-tinged sadness at the thought that this coming autumn will be the first since the Taft administration in which students will neither carry their books to North Baker nor brighten its halls with their vibrant laughter.
But I don't want to get too maudlin about this.
Buildings, no matter how powerful the emotions we attach to them, are no more than stacks of wood and stone, plaster and glass. They neither laugh nor cry, learn nor love. They are coldly inanimate, and the warmth we feel for them comes not from the buildings but from the people who have spent time inside.
The true legacies of North Baker and the Central Building are the children, so many thousands of them, who relished within their walls the pure joys of becoming lost in a well-crafted story and of finding their way through the labyrinth of mathematics.
And the teachers who challenged them, who showed them that knowledge, and its pursuit, could enrich their lives.
And the cooks who served them a hot lunch before they went out to play on a sub-zero day.
And the parents and grandparents and siblings who came to hear them sing Christmas carols in their squeaky, off-key voices.
Closing a couple of schools can't diminish any of this, any more than an artist's talent can be restrained if she must paint on wood rather than canvas.
To cite one example, I'm confident that the parents and other volunteers who have made the annual North Baker Carnival such a popular event will not turn selfish now that the doors of their school have been locked.
The spirit they exemplify, it seems to me, is immune to budget cuts and defiant of recession.
Most important, it can't be confined to a place.
It's a pity that such fine old structures as North Baker and the Central Building and Churchill, which closed six years ago, no longer serve their noble purposes.
But we don't need great buildings to have great schools.
We need great people.
And in that respect, no matter what the school district's ledger shows, we are wealthy.

It didn't take long for the South Oldham Dragons to get started Monday night, but once they did the floodgates opened quickly in a 90-42 rout of district foe Trimble County.
Though plenty of shots were falling for South Oldham, Kyle Young was especially hot, racking up 30 points, including 17 in the first quarter. That number ballooned to 25 in the game's final minutes.
But that's when Young started passing up shots instead of taking a run at the 30-point mark.
That wasn't okay with some of his teammates.

Exploding Snap is a wizarding card game in which the cards spontaneously explode during games. The game is popular with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry students.
In 1992, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley were held back from investigating why spiders were fleeing Hogwarts because the twins Fred and George Weasley delayed them with such a game.
In 1994, Ron singed his eyebrows while building a card house with Exploding Snap cards.
During the 1996–1997 school year, Nanette Desford could often be found in the Clock Tower playing Exploding Snap.
Known Exploding Snap cards
- Bowtruckles
- Cyclops's
- Giant Squids
- Manticores
- Mountain Trolls
- Common Welsh Greens
- Hebridean Blacks
- Elfrida Claggs
There are two variants of Exploding Snap. The first one, the "Classical" Game, is quite simple, however it requires some reflex. The rules are simple: when you see two identical pictures, hit the card with the top of your wand – one point is yours. The player with the most points wins the game. The hard part is, the cards shuffle faster and faster. The second one, the "Patience" Game, is a bit harder. You have twenty cards and you reveal them in pairs. You have to find two identical pictures. Cards explode soon after you reveal them for the first time (of course, if you don't find a pair before).
Behind the scenes
- In the video games, the game is played with Famous Witch and Wizard Cards, although it is believed that Self-Shuffling Cards are used to play this game.
- For reasons currently unknown, in the German translations the game "Exploding Snap" is frequently translated with "Snape explodiert" (which would backtranslate as "Snape Explodes" or "Exploding Snape"), creating the image of a game somehow connected to Hogwarts Professor Severus Snape, as if in an attempt to make fun of him. This particular translated word is incorrect, but persistent, and causes uproar among some German fans. In recent editions, this translation error has been corrected. The game is now called "Zauberschnippschnapp" (Schnippschnapp is the German translation for the Muggle game "Snap").
- In the Hebrew transltions the game is called "טאקי מתפוצץ" (Exploding Taki). The reason for the translation is likely the same as the translation of Sherbet lemon to krembo, as Taki (a game similar to the game UNO) is one of the most common children's card games in Israel.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today that 60 days from now producers will for the first time be required to hold shipments of non-intact raw beef and all ready-to-eat products containing meat and poultry until they pass the agency's testing for adulterants that are known to cause food-borne illnesses such as E. coli, salmonella and listeria.
USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Elisabeth Hagen said in a statement, "This new policy will reduce food-borne illnesses and the number of recalls by preventing contaminated products from reaching consumers."
The new "hold and test" policy was based on public input on a federal register notice placed in April of last year, and Hagan says she hopes it will become a routine practice across the industry. Official establishments and importers of record will be required to maintain control of products tested for adulterants by FSIS and not release to the marketplace until negative test results are received - usually within two days.
The notice will be posted shortly on the FSIS website and regulations.gov once it is published.

I've been drinking my own mix of half regular and half decaf for a few years now, and Decaf House Blend has emerged as my favorite. It blends well with any of our Central/South American coffees, and also with our Kenya Auction Lot. I love its brightness and wonderful aroma. By itself or blended with a regular coffee, Decaf House makes a really satisfying cup of coffee!

The rally kicked off Wednesday morning at the state Capitol, and featured speeches from advocacy and labor group leaders and state legislators, including Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, Rep. Crisanta Duran and Rep. Joe Salazar.
As the group marched southwest from the Capitol, drivers passing by honked and waved in support.
Though the snow might have kept some people away—organizers said the crowd was definitely smaller than last year's—the group that marched was undeterred by the conditions. Marchers chanted the whole way, shouting refrains like, "The people, united, will never be divided."
"I know the Latino people do it whether it's thunderstorms or snow or anything," said Claudia Esquivel of Boulder, who spoke at the rally at Sunken Garden Park after the march. "Nothing can stop us."
Naykary Silva, a 26-year-old mother from Mexico who is in the country illegally, said she marched Wednesday because she has a 3-year-old son with autism who needs health care, and she wants to be part of the movement working to make that a possibility. The wintry weather, she said, never made her doubt her decision to march.
"If you want to do something, you do it no matter what," Silva said. "There's still more work to do.
Most attendees seemed to agree that there is still progress to be made, though most also were pleased that the Colorado Legislature this spring passed a bill allowing undocumented students to pay in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities.
Esquivel told the crowd at Sunken Garden Park, nicknamed Citizenship Park for the day, that they must still push for change.
"We need to remind our senators we voted for them, and they need to work for us," Esquivel said in an interview with The Associated Press.
The biggest change she, and most others, wants to see is a path to citizenship for those in the country illegally.
"I would like the rest of our people to become residents," said Esquivel, who is a citizen. "I don't want families to be separated, don't want people to be living in fear."
Carrying a Mexican flag as he marched, Antonio Moreno said although he is a citizen, he thinks it's important to fight for the rights of other members of the Latino community.
"I have solidarity with them," Moreno said. "We are all one people, and we all should have civil rights."
Tens of thousands of people are expected to rally in dozens of cities in what has become an annual cry for easing the nation's immigration laws.
The May Day rallies carry a special sense of urgency this year, two weeks after a bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill that would bring many of the estimated 11 million living in the U.S. illegally out of the shadows. One Denver participant carried a sign that read "11 million out of the shadows (equals) $1.5 billion into the economy."

What's the probability that the Hulululu species will never be extinct?

My immediate reaction was to keep it simple and go with tree diagrams, but the splitting in two part threw me off.
Immediately I thought it was (1/4)^n with n becoming very large, but obviously that doesn't work.
Secondarily I thought in terms of series; the probability being quartered each step as there are two, but I doubt that holds up mathematically. That would have been 1/4 * 1/16 * 1/64 ...
So whatever the formula is [I got P(n)=1/(4^n), but I may be very wrong], as n becomes very large you approach zero, so it is almost certain they will become extinct at some point.

Repeating patterns, mate.
OK. Assume 'if we start with a bacteria, the probability of the species finally going extinct is p'. Then,
p = 3/4 + 1/4*p*p
=> (p-2)^2 = 1
=> p = 1 [Rejecting the other solution as that can't be a probability number]
So, the probability of of the Hulululu species never going extinct = 1-p = 0

In fact, for any x where 0<x<1, if you replace 3/4 by x and 1/4 by (1-x) in the original problem, then also p will come out as 1 from the equation I think. I'm also sleep-deprived, so not putting an effort to solve that generic one lol.
Alternatively you can look at the expected population at every year.

- Title
- Nano-structured surfaces control bacterial attachment
- Author(s)
- Mitik-Dineva, Natasa; Wang, James; Stoddart, Paul R.; Crawford, Russell J.; Ivanova, Elena P.
- Abstract
- Surface roughness is known to play a significant role in the cell-surface attachment process, particularly when the surface irregularities are of a dimension that is comparable to the bacterial size and hence provide shelter from unfavorable environmental factors. To explore the influence of nano-scale surface roughness on bacterial attachment this study utilized asreceived and chemically treated glass surfaces as substrata for bacterial adsorption. Surface modification via chemical etching resulted in a 70% decrease in the nano-scale roughness of the glass surface with no alteration of its chemical composition. We have observed that bacteria belonging to three different taxa, while adhering to the modified surface, exhibited similar attachment tendencies to the un-modified substratum, however the number of attached cells increased threefold. The increase in extent of attachment was also associated with bacterial morphologic and metabolic changes. The results obtained suggest that nano-scale surface roughness might strongly influence bacterial attachment.

Hi, I'm looking to make some css changes to the mobile version of my website. For the desktop site I usually just use the inspector tool on my desktop browser (Chrome or Firefox). I can then edit the css on the fly to my liking before putting the changes into Coda.
My question- Is there a way I can see how my site will look on an iPad through my Mac? Since there is no inspector that I know of on the iPad, this would make editing the mobile site css a lot quicker, instead of blind editing in Coda, then checking on the live iPad site.
Pro's, how do you do it?
Thanks! -Mike

Faculty Advisors
All our incoming DVM students are assigned faculty advisors. Newly matriculated students will meet their faculty advisors during orientation. This brief meeting is meant to be a building of a relationship. The faculty advisor's role is to serve as a source of support and guidance for their students.
Peer Mentors
The goal of Peer Mentoring is to help incoming first year DVM students make a smooth transition and adjust to life as a student at the college. Peer mentors are second or third year DVM students and are invaluable resources as they can offer advice based on their personal experience at the college.
Peer Mentors are assigned to all first year DVM students. Incoming students are typically contacted by their peer mentors during the summer before they are scheduled to enter the DVM program.
Student Disability Services
It is our intention to provide reasonable accommodations for students with qualifying disabilities who are admitted to the DVM program. The accommodations apply to classroom and examination situations and activities based in the Cornell University Hospital for Animals.
Students who believe they are entitled to an accommodation should contact the Director of Student and Academic Services and Multicultural Affairs. In order to make decisions based upon an individual's specific situation, it may take some to determine what is appropriate and fair given the nature of the disability as well as the requirements of veterinary education. When possible, a student should initiate the process in the summer before his/her matriculation, or, if later, as soon as the disability arises.
While your prior history is relevant for determining reasonable accommodations, you should realize that we might not grant the same accommodations that you have received in the past. Your request for accommodations will be carefully reviewed according to what is reasonable and appropriate given the nature of your disability and the essential components of your academic program. The final authority regarding accommodations rests with the Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Counseling Services
Totally confidential counseling services are available at the college to all DVM students. All services are free. The counseling office which is located within the Office of Student and Academic Services is staffed on Tuesdays.
Diverse approaches to personal problem resolution, including short-term psychotherapy, crisis intervention, stress management training, and academic counseling are used. Long-term therapy and psychotherapy can be arranged for those in need of these services. DVM students can also avail themselves of mental health services offered by University Health Services.

In order for the province to move forward with major improvements on the Daly Overpass, the City of Brandon first needs to address the aging Eighth Street bridge, according to Premier Greg Selinger.
"If you're going to shut the … Daly Overpass, you need to divert traffic to the Eighth Street bridge," Selinger said. "There's a concern that the Eighth Street bridge may not be sufficiently strong at the moment to handle that."
