Technical Specifications
- Model Name: Q5942A
- Page Yield (?):
Page Yield is an approximation of the number of standard pages that can be printed with one cartridge, usually measured at 5% page coverage. 5% coverage is a standard 8.5 x 11 inch page with a light letterhead, address and three paragraphs of text double spaced. If you print mixed text and graphics or WebPages your page coverage is closer to 15% and therefore the number of pages printed with each cartridge will be less. If you are printing photos your page coverage is close to 100% and the number of printed photos will be much less than the amount the number of pages you would be able to print if you were just printing standard text documents.

Compatible Printer List:
Many consumers are worried if the use of compatible or aftermarket printing supplies will void their printer's warranty. The answer is no.
More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.

Laboratory Security
Some of you may have recently received a message from EH&S regarding a laboratory door that was left unlocked. University Police and Security routinely check for unlocked doors through the university, during off-hours. They report the result to us each month.
It is critical that all laboratory areas maintain security at all hours, including locking the doors when there are no lab personnel present. Obviously, the reason for security is for protection not only of your valuable equipment, research and chemicals, but also for personal safety should unauthorized people in a building find an unopened door where they may "hide out."
If we find your lab appearing on the "Open Doors" monthly report, we will be in touch and will then closely monitor your compliance in the future. Please feel free to contact us at EH&S with any questions you may have regarding laboratory security.

Dog Vaccination
Why Vaccinate my Dog?
Vaccination allows your dog to develop immunity to dangerous diseases. This means that if your dog comes into contact with a disease, it will be protected and will not get ill. If your dog is not protected by vaccination they are at risk of catching dangerous diseases.
How do I get my dog vaccinated?
Your vet will examine your dog to check that it is healthy prior to vaccination. This is important as vaccines are often less effective in an unhealthy dog. They will advise you on which vaccinations are appropriate for your dog depending on its age and lifestyle.
How Often Does my dog need vaccinating?
New Dog or Puppy
Your dog or puppy will first require a primary course of vaccinations, this is usually two vaccinations but may be three depending on the type of vaccine and the disease profile in your area.
Puppies will not be fully protected by their vaccinations until approximately 2 weeks after the second vaccine; ask your vet for the exact timings for the vaccination used. Until your puppy is fully protected by its vaccinations:
- The puppy should not be taken for walks it in public areas.
- Should not have contact with any dog that is not completely up to date with its vaccinations.
- Should not have access to dirty or stagnant water.
- Can go in the car for short journeys.
- Can visit friends' houses if they do not have a dog, or their dog is fully vaccinated.
- Can be carried in public places as long as a good distance is kept from other dogs.
- Your dog requires a health check by your vet every year. At this check the vet will give any booster vaccines that are required.
- Some vaccines, such as Leptospirosis, need to be given every year to every dog, others can be left longer depending on the type of vaccine used and the age, breed and lifestyle of your dog.
- It is vitally important to keep older dogs up to date with annual vaccinations and frequent health checks.
What should my dog be vaccinated against?
All dogs require certain routine vaccinations. The exact mix and frequency that your dog will need will depend on your dog's lifestyle and background.
- Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza and Leptospirosis are routine vaccinations that are recommended for all dogs.
- Kennel cough is highly recommended for dogs going into kennels. Dogs can also pick up kennel cough from any contact with other dogs such as shows, obedience classes or just talking in the park.
A Note about Kennel Cough Vaccine
Most good kennels stipulate that dogs must be vaccinated against Kennel Cough. It is worth thinking very carefully before allowing your dog to go to a kennels that does not require Kennel Cough vaccine. Not only is your dog unprotected, it is also much more likely to pick up Kennel Cough from other dogs in the kennels who are also unprotected.
Below is a table of the diseases that it is possible to vaccinate against in the UK. Those marked with an asterisk are the 'Core' vaccines that all dogs should be given.

The U.S. Geological Survey report released Friday, Feb. 28, 2014, concludes sea otters in Alaska's Prince William Sound have recovered to levels seen before the Exxon Valdez oil spill nearly 25 years ago. (AP Photo/Mark Thiessen) DAN JOLING| Associated Press March 20, 2014; 3:53 p.m. Comments ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Before the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, there was the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska. The tanker struck a reef on March 24, 1989, and unleashed an estimated 10.8 million gallons of crude oil into the water. Currents then smeared it over 1,300 miles of shoreline. For a generation of people around the world, the spill was seared into their memories by images of fouled coastline in Prince William Sound, of sea otters, herring and birds soaked in oil, of workers painstakingly washing crude off the rugged beaches. Scientist Robert Spies says that today, 25 years later, most of the species have recovered. Spies was the chief science adviser on the oil spill restoration program from 1989 to 2002. But some wildlife, as well as the people who live in the region, are still struggling. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

When you go to the gym diligently and start seeing results you feel proud of your accomplishment, but a woman who had a run in at Planet Fitness over complaints about her "toned body" left in utter shock.
Tiffany Austin told KTVU that she was working out at a Planet Fitness in Richmond, Calif. on Monday when a staff member approached her and stated they'd had some complaints that she was intimidating people with her "toned body."
To add insult to injury, he then asked her to put on a shirt.
At first Austin agreed, but another staff member then approached her and also told her that her body was too fit to be shown, so Austin asked for a refund for her gym membership and quickly bolted.
On its website, Planet Fitness boasts of its "Judgment Free Zone" where "members can relax, get in shape, and have fun without being subjected to the hard-core, look-at-me attitude that exists in too many gyms."
The site also says Planet Fitness strives to be a place "where everyone feels accepted and respected."
There was plenty of commotion on the company's Facebook page from both sides of the aisle.
One commenter wrote, "I'd like to join but I'm afraid I'm too attractive and I might intimidate some of your members."
Another posted, "No Judgment UNLESS you're in shape, then all rules are out the window! I guess this gym is only for fat people that are whiners."

The Brant Point Grill is an elegant restaurant in the White Elephant Hotel with a lovely view of the harbor. During the summer, you sit on an open air porch, but as it cools off, they turn on some heaters and lower a clear plastic curtain. The service and setting are most elegant.
Despite the restaurant being a "grill," there are just 3 steaks on the menu.
16 oz prime aged ribeye, $56
12 oz Pineland Farms New York Strip, $44, and
8 oz Pineland Farms Filet Mignon, $49
They are available with several sauces: at no extra charge: Wild Mushroom , Béarnaise , Red Wine, Peppercorn, Blue Cheese, and Homemade Steak.
In addition they offer 2 Lb lobster an Surf and Turf ($110 for two), and a Clambake for two ($90).
All entrees are a la carte, so if you want vegetables or potatoes, you have to order them for $8 each. We ordered grilled vegetables (they were yellow beans that night), Steak Fries, Asparagus and Radish Salad, Bake Beans, Whipped Potatoes, Onion Rings, Sweet Potato Fries and Creamed Spinach.
Unlike their sister restaurant Nantucket Prime (same ownership), they do offer a few more entrees including Halibut, Fluke, Scallops, Papardelle, Chicken Breast and Black Quinoa.
They also offer a fair number of appetizers, including Crab Cake, Shrimp Cocktail, Oysters, Clam Chowder, Gazpacho, Lobster Salad, Chop Chop Salad, Caesar Salad and Figs and Prosciutto. They also have that ubiquitous and (to us) baffling Lobster Mac and Cheese ($19).
The Chop Chop salad ($15) was an amazingly delicious salad you could make yourself once you know the ingredients: Iceberg, Boiled Egg, Pickled Red Onion, Watercress, Cherry Tomato, Bacon, Blue Cheese, Croutons. It was absolutely terrific.
The Nantucket Crab Cake ($18) served with grilled corn relish, and lemon aioli was meaty and made without any of those annoying fillers you get in cheaper restaurants. However, being a Maryland crab cake fan, we would have liked it better with some mustard mixed in.
The aged ribeye ($56) was extremely good, very tender and juicy and the Béarnaise sauce perfectly prepared and not too sour.
The Seared Sea Scallops ($39) was served with cauliflower, baby leeks and a Pearl Barley Salad (y'es, we misread that too!). This was a beautifully presented dish with plenty of large, meaty scallops. However, the cauliflowers were pickled and added a bit more sourness than we would have liked.
For side vegetables, we ordered the grilled vegetables (yellow bean) which were terrific, prepared al dente and still slightly crunchy. We also ordered the Steak Fries, but they came late because the waiter missed that part of our order. They were the one really weak part of the meal, since they were clealy frozen, and were mealy and pretty tasteless.
Overall, we really enjoyed our meal at Brant Point, but were too full to order dessert. You can hace a nice meal, expensive even compared to Nantucket Prime, but with a lovely view and very good service. Our bill with 3 drinks and tax, but before tip was $217.

A Three day strike ? Really ? after three days everybody goes back to buisness as usual. what does that accomplish ? it's going to take something more than a three day strike to get the government's attention . The government does not listen to the will of the People anymore . .... in my opinion this shows that people are not fully awake to the kind of corrupt Power that faces us . it is obivious that the people are not willing to lay down their jobs nor sacrifice their lives for the sake of others . When the economy finally does collaspe Your not going to have a job anymore People , , You People holding on to your material possesions , money ,jobs ,houses , these things are on the verge of collasping any day now . and i hear that fema will be having a month long drill soon . so why does this three strike have to coincide with Fema's Emergency Plan? Not understanding this .
To get this Evil corrupt government's attention you've got to do something that will break the system ! and i just don't see the People willing to do what it will takes to break the system .

FIELD ORNITHOLOGIST Allen Chartier weighs a hummingbird during a presentation of hummingbird banding in Marenisco Saturday morning.
MARENISCO - Field ornithologist Allen Chartier, of Detroit, banded several hummingbirds at a local residence in Marenisco Saturday morning.
"It's a project I've been doing with hummingbirds since 2001," Chartier said, "It's a very specialized form of banding."
According to Chartier, banding hummingbirds takes "a federal and state permit, steady hands, patience and a lot of training."
The banding process includes taking measurements for each individual bird then marking the beaks with a bit of paint before releasing them back into the environment.
"I've been banding songbirds for longer," Chartier said, adding songbird bands are normally pre-made and shipped.
However, he used handmade bands for the hummingbirds.
"The birds are so small, it takes a different skill set," Chartier said.
Hummingbirds may be banded to help study site fidelity, or the willingness of the birds to return to a specific site. It may also help examine the size of the birds' territory.
"I'm hoping to expand my research into the Upper Peninsula," he said, "I'm looking for research sites in Wisconsin and Michigan."

Quote #4
Minute at first, the thunder
Soon filled the apartment. It was domestic thunder,
The color of spinach. (36-38)
The outside world invades the apartment in the form of green thunder. But the thunder is "domesticated" or tamed. You might compare it to one of those miniature clouds that hangs over the head of one particularly unlucky cartoon character, while it's sunny everywhere else. The thunder is fitted for a tiny urban apartment.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their second album Talk Talk Talk, The Psychedelic Furs have announced a limited number of shows in Texas and California to begin in April. The Houston date of the tour is set for Saturday, April 23 at Warehouse Live. Tickets for the Houston show go on sale Friday at noon and can be purchased on the Warehouse Live website. All other shows are said to go on sale this Saturday according to the band's website, but it is recommended you check with the individual venues as they may go on sale earlier.
The Psychedelic Furs will open each show by performing Talk Talk Talk in its entirety. It is expected that the band will follow the song order of the original UK release rather than the 1981 U.S. version familiar to older fans. A reissue of Talk Talk Talk in 2002 established the UK version as the definitive running order. The band will also perform a second set each night featuring songs from the remainder of their catalog.
Talk Talk Talk and their self-titled debut album established The Psychedelic Furs as a college radio favorite during an era when there were few avenues for punk and new wave bands to find an audience. Easily the strongest album of the band's career, it includes 'Into You Like a Train,' 'All of This and Nothing,' 'Dumb Waiters,' and this writer's personal favorite, 'She Is Mine.' It also includes the hit 'Pretty in Pink' in its original form. A more polished version was recorded for the John Hughes film of the same name.
The Psychedelic Furs Talk Talk Talk spring tour:
- April 21: Club 101, El Paso, TX
- April 23: Warehouse Live, Houston, TX
- April 24: Granada Theater, Dallas, TX
- April 27: Belly Up, Solana Beach, CA
- April 28: House of Blues, Anaheim, CA
- April 29: Canyon Club, Agoura Hills, CA
- April 30: The Music Box, Los Angeles, CA
- May 3: Slim's, San Francisco, CA

Mourdock: Senator Lugar Not Ind. Resident
(Indianapolis, Ind.) – Indiana State Treasurer and U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock is calling out incumbent Senator Richard Lugar, saying he's not an Indiana resident.
Backed by the Tea Party group Hoosier for a Conservative Senate, Mourdock is challenging Lugar for the Republican nomination in the May 8 primary.
Mourdock made the accusations Wednesday while standing in front of a home the senator lists as his legal residence in the 3200 block of Highwoods Court in Indianapolis, which Lugar sold in 1977.
Lugar has kept that home as his legal residence because it was the last place he lived in the state. He currently lives in Virginia, but votes in Indiana.
Democrats are piling onto the argument that Lugar is no Hoosier.
"He's admitted that he spends taxpayer money on Indianapolis hotels when he visits Indiana, but won't disclose how much. Indiana's hardworking families deserve to know what their tax dollars are paying for," said Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Dan Parker.
David Willkie, political director for Lugar's re-election campaign, said in an e-mail the senator still co-owns and operates his family's farm in Marion County.
Willkie also said three different Indiana Attorneys General have also ruled in the past that situations such as Lugar's are allowable.
Article II, Section 4 of the Indiana Constitution says "No person shall be deemed to have lost his residence in the State by reason of his absence, either on business of this State or of the United States." The Indiana Code, Section 3-1-21-3, Subsection 10, reads similarly.
Mourdock Files For US Senate Race vs Lugar
Ind. Treasurer Will Oppose Lugar

Why Equality will improve the 'sanctity of marriage', not hinder it
The Reverend Rob MacPherson questions those who argue for 'sanctity in marriage', from a conventional religious viewpoint, arguing that true 'sanctity' can be achieved in the institution of marriage by taking equality seriously.
Take-no-prisoners comedian Doug Stanhope perfectly skewers how far in the dark ages we still are in our thinking about marriage:
"If marriage didn't exist, would you invent it? Would you say, 'Baby, this thing we got is so good, we gotta get the government in on this sh*t. We can't just keep this 'twixt us: we need lawyers and judges in on this… it's so hot!'"
We could add, of course, politicians who frame the laws. And most of them are somewhat spooked into enforcing and bolstering bizarrely retrograde laws because of conventional religious views about the so-called 'sanctity' of marriage. Lily-livered, approval-seekers that they can often be.
As a minister and a registered religious celebrant, I have some news for them: ain't nothing sanctified about marriage. Sanctity means 'holy' or 'sacred', 'of ultimate importance', and if you think about it for a nanosecond, marriage as a cultural institution is every bit as flawed as… well, as flawed as we are. Seen the divorce rates lately, especially among empty-nesters? Seen the hit-counts and membership stats on 'cheater' sites, like Ashley Madison? When the internet was new and full of old-school chat rooms and noticeboards, critics called it a 'couple-busting technology'. What rot. Couples had been finding ways to bust long before keyboards got involved. Marriage is easy to get yourself into, and hard to get yourself out of. Think about this: perhaps it should be the other way around—hard to get into, easy(er) to get out of. Then we might be able to talk about its 'sanctity'.
And in a 21st century world, where gender reassignment is becoming more of an achievable option for people who want it, this 'sanctified' institution is legally trumped by your choice of gender. Recently, an Adelaide man, a father of four who had gender-reassignment surgery, was told that he MUST divorce in order to be legally recognised as a woman. You read that right: "You want to change gender? Fine: but you can't be married any more to your partner of 20 years if you do, and you will just have to take the legal disadvantages and emotional hardship on you and your four kids on the chin." What a cruel society we are. Marriage sanctity, anyone? What utter rot.
Consider, by contrast, the sanctity that may be achieved in the institution of marriage by taking equality seriously, of raising equality to ultimate value or worth. For politicians, lawyers, and judges to say through laws: "no matter what your sexual orientation or gender, if you and a partner wish to become more than individuals, to become an actual coupling, go for your life. Because it IS your life."
Now that would be a sacred statement. So my conclusion is this: if we are to lift up coupling as the life-changing, self-expanding, soul-enlarging rite of passage that it can be, we would do best to sanctify our laws around it by basing it upon our fundamental equality – that all people of whatever gender or sexual orientation have the same human rights.

Contrary to the opinion of the uninformed, a marriage lasting a lifetime is the norm, not the exception. And the truth of the matter is this—most all successful marriages thrive based upon the relationship between the two people in love, not on other people or extraneous variables.
Recently, we reviewed a body of research that addressed the issue of how to make the "romance" of a marriage last. While the research generally reflects what we have found in our own 32+ years of research on all seven of the world's continents, we take issue with some of the findings researchers have posited.
First, the notion that happy marriages are based on good communication, shared values, a sturdy support system of friends and relatives, happy, stable childhoods, fair quarreling, and dogged determination is mostly true, but not completely true.
Here is what we know—successfully married couples have NOT reported to us that having a sturdy support system of friends and relatives was a prerequisite to their successful marriage. Quite the contrary, they have reported to us that the strength of their personal relationship with each other was based on their relationship with each other, irrespective of their friends and relatives! Imagine that! Having friends and a supportive family is nice, but it is certainly NOT a prerequisite to a blissful, happy, and successful marriage.
And here is the second area we disagree with the findings of several researchers—stable childhoods are NOT a prerequisite to a successful marriage. We have interviewed couples that have been successfully married for 30-77 years and virtually none of them have reported that a "stable childhood" was the defining element in their successful marriage.
In fact, most of the successfully married couples we have interviewed suggest to us that their childhood experiences didn't matter much with regard to their marriage. Their marriage depended, more than anything else, on their relationship with each other. The success of their marriage was determined by the strength of their relationship with each other, nothing more, nothing less. Let's leave the blame on childhood experiences—for good or bad—behind as unworthy when it comes to a successful marriage.
Now, on to the next problem, so-called love blindness, self-deception, or positive illusions. These notions don't hold much water based upon our three decades of research.
Present in the mind's-eye of the most successful marriages we have studied is the simple notion that a person's spouse is eternally beautiful or handsome. And trust us on this, these aspersions of beauty and handsomeness transcend time and place.
The simple and endearing truth is this—would you really expect anything different? To see the one you love in the most positive terms throughout your enduring marriage should come as no surprise to anyone. Having "positive illusions" is not a bad thing—it is not something to ridicule—and it is certainly not something to dismiss as unimportant. "Love blindness" is something to embrace!
Some who study marriage have reported that there is no particular combination of personality traits that leads to sustained romance." Frankly, we find such a conclusion invalid and not supported by our own research. Here's why.
Our research of successfully married couples on seven continents of the world—reflecting different ethnicities, different cultures, different religious traditions—reveals seven personality traits that leads to "sustained romance" and to a successful marriage that transcends time. To suggest that there are no personality traits that lead to sustained romance is to ignore overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
All of this now leads to this inescapable question, why do so-called "experts" report such "findings" as truth when there is so much evidence to the contrary? One only knows!
Here is what we know to be true, there are recurring themes in successful marriages around the world. In a nutshell, they are: togetherness/oneness of the relationship; truthfulness and honesty; mutual respect and kindness; a focus on healthy living and good health; the sharing of important financial decisions; daily tactile communication (frequent touching and intimacy); and surprise and unpredictability (great marriages are never stale or boring). These time-tested relationships speak to the notion of how to make the romance of a marriage last. It really is that simple. Simple things matter in love and marriage. They really work!
As human beings, we have this amazing capacity to love and be loved. In a successful marriage, this notion is multiplied ten-fold! Successful marriage represents an accumulation of the reciprocal notion of loving and being loved.
Until death do us part is not a cliché. People who enter a marriage do so with the full confidence that they will do so for a lifetime. Do you want to have a great marriage that will transcend time and lead to a Golden Anniversary? In fact, we took hundreds of tips from the thousands of happy couples we interviewed and put them into our award-winning and bestselling book, Building a Love that Lasts and our just released book, How to Marry the Right Guy.

I learned about Good-Gums toothpaste replacement and natural tooth and gum care while visiting the Downtown Sarasota Farmer's Market about a year ago. I've been using Good-Gums ever since and have naturally reversed receding gums and gingivitis! I cannot tell you how much money and pain using Good-Gums has saved me!!
But first let me explain about this fabulous natural product! The ingredients are:
- Baking soda
- French grey sea salt
- Cinnamon
- Tea tree leaf
- Cranberry
- Vitamin-C
- Bio-flavinoid complex
- Essentials oils of Myrrh and Peppermint
I had been without dental insurance for about a year and a half so I had been looking for some non-flouride toothpaste (while shopping at the market) the day I was introduced to Good-Gums. The gal (whom I later learned was the creator of the product) explained all about how we brush WRONG with too much pressure, yet fail to properly stimulate our gums! We need to get the blood flowing there! Yes, we need to gently brush (or better yet, "massage") our gums!
You have probably learned from your dentist and dental-hygienist to "brush down" or brush in small circular motions, and that's fine for your teeth, but none have ever suggested to me that I need to brush my GUMS!
So when Isabelle (the creator of Good-Gums) suggested to me that the older we get the more issues people tend to have with receding gums because we are not properly massaging our gums - I was astonished! I had been given little rubber tipped gum stimulator tools before from the dental hygienist but never instructed how to use it, and never told how to massage my gums with a soft toothbrush. I had even previously undergone deep scaling cleaning for pre-periodontal disease and gingivitis! I certainly did NOT want to go through that ordeal again as it was quite painful (even with the numbing shots)!
So, I bought a bottle of Good-Gums and took it home. I followed the instructions and brushed faithfully - including my gums - daily. Months went by. I noticed I was having less bleeding when I flossed. I also noticed the sensitivity I used to experience was GONE.
After moving, starting a new job, and getting dental insurance again I went to a new dentist. He took the normal X-rays and gave me a thorough exam. I had NO cavities and NO sign of gingivitis or periodontal disease! NONE!
I must admit I was surprised. I knew I had been doing a good job with brushing and flossing (but I do not floss daily either as I know I should) and I had noticed that with Good-Gums my teeth always felt CLEAN - just like they do after a dental cleaning, but I really didn't expect such a good report. Now I only wish I had been using Good-Gums my whole life! The pain and money I would have saved!
The new dental hygienist didn't even scold me for not flossing! Every previous cleaning I had always been scolded for not flossing daily (they can always tell). But now, it's sure seems like Good-Gums did such a good job for me that my lack of flossing didn't matter! Now, I'm not suggesting you don't need to floss, but at least for me, I found it did not matter I had skipped some days!
You can read more about (and order) this fantastic natural product here -->> Good-Gums.
I had this product on my list to write a review for awhile but today I was reminded just how the dental industry works. A coworker mentioned she has receding gums and she brushes her teeth many times a day because of it. I commented, "so much for 40 years of flouride huh?" (that's always my subtle way of saying it hasn't helped any - people still get cavities, root canals, crowns, bridges, and dentures as much as they always did - more in my opinion) and she began to tell me about the importance of the deep cleaning ever three months!
My coworker was fairly strong in her belief system so I didn't get into a long winded conversation or try to enlighten her further of alternatives (maybe she'll read this at some point). But then I realized, if what you are doing is working for you, who am I to question it. Go ahead! But for me, I would rather not go to the dentist, and not have that painful deep scaling and root planing. YUCK! I mean, I had a really good dentist and hygienist where we used to live but even as good as they were, I prefer Good-Gums and my new brushing method better!
If like me, you believe every purchase you make equates to voting with your dollars, then you know the best way to nurture companies you believe in is to keep buying their products. I am sure that Good-Gums does just fine selling online and at farmer markets but I love to promote wonderful products when I find them.
There's always an alternative if you look for it and be open to receive!
Take it upon yourself to be healthy, joyful, vibrant, and beautiful. Be who you want to be.

Bucknell's Mark Malloy
Oct. 5, 2010
By Becky Hart, Bucknell Athletic Communications
Most athletes look forward to playing in the big games, bringing pride to their fans and collecting the championship trophies. Men's tennis player Mark Malloy is looking forward to his championship season as well, but for a different reason. When March rolls around, Malloy is hoping to be able to celebrate on-court victories with his teammates and, more importantly, a new lease on life.
"I'm just trying to keep myself positive and make sure I'm doing everything I can to keep myself healthy and keep myself cancer-free. When six months comes from now, hopefully that will be right in the middle of our season and we'll have some great news coming."
Staying cancer-free likely is not something Malloy was thinking about at this point last year. In the fall of 2009, the now-senior co-captain was sailing around the world with Semester at Sea, visiting countries on three continents and gathering once-in-a-lifetime memories. By January, Malloy was facing a life-threatening health scare. The laid-back beaches of Mauritius that now filled his photo album never seemed so far away.
The plan had always been to forgo the fall semester of his junior year in favor of studying abroad, then pick up in the spring where he left off. Everything was going according to plan until that winter. Back in the United States after nearly four months abroad, Malloy resumed his workout regimen only to be sidelined again, this time by some unexpected pain. Days before returning to campus for the start of classes, he decided to pay a visit to his doctor.
"They ran some ultrasounds, they did some scans, they took my blood, and they found that it was testicular cancer," says Malloy. "That was definitely a big shock."
Luckily the cancer was still in the early stages, but with the threat of it moving into his lungs and eventually his brain, Malloy and his doctors moved quickly.
"A couple days later, I had my first surgery to remove my left testicle, which had the cancer. The general prognosis after that is if your blood markers continue to decrease at a certain rate, that generally means that the cancer is not present anymore, which means that it did not go into Stage Two. So I was very fortunate for that.
"After I had my first surgery, there was a chance that that was going to be the end of it. The cancer was done; there was no vascular invasion where it goes into your blood stream," Malloy continues. "So after my surgery, I came back to school right before school started. I wasn't going to be playing tennis for a little while because I was recovering from the first surgery, which is about the same type of surgery if you have a sports hernia. There was a good chance, or there was a chance at least, that I'd be able to stay in school and play tennis."
It looked as if Malloy was on his way back to a normal student-athlete's life at Bucknell, but the pathology report following his surgery was not quite so optimistic. Reports showed that the cancer was more developed, and more serious, than originally thought. Malloy was presented with two options: chemotherapy or a surgery called retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, where the lymph nodes are removed from the abdomen. Both options carried their own set of risks, and neither would be easy. Doctors recommended Malloy take the semester off, ending the tennis player's plans to return to academic life and the courts that spring.
Malloy is now six months removed from his second surgery and all signs point to success. The cancer is in remission, Malloy is back in the classroom and the Bison are reaping the benefits of having their veteran in the lineup once again.
"I just found out last week that I've been six months cancer-free," says Malloy in late September. "So at least for the next six months, I'm just trying to really take it easier and make sure that I keep myself healthy and don't put anything in my body that may trigger something to come back."
Malloy played his first tournament in more than a year Sept. 17-19 as Bucknell began its season at the Northeast Intercollegiate in Providence, R.I. Shaking off the rust, he advanced to the finals in his singles flight only to fall in straight sets to his opponent from Marist. Proud of his start, Malloy was gladly paying the price for his success in the opening weekend.
"Definitely towards the end of the week I was feeling quite sore. I still don't have all my movement back in my abdomen and my stamina, but it felt great to be back playing," says Malloy. "Kind of the mindset that I'm taking out on the court is to just be thankful to be here, to be back playing tennis. That makes it a lot easier if I win or lose, but making it to the finals of the singles was very special for me, no matter what flight [I'm] playing in."
Taking things slowly is turning out to be as big a challenge as any. As his condition improves, it becomes increasingly difficult for Malloy to pace himself and remember that he is just a fraction of the way through the 12- to 18-month recovery that accompanies his last surgery. Malloy is constantly reminded not to jump into things too quickly, thanks in large part to his teammates and coaches Rebecca Helt and Steve Schram.
"It's really hard coming back, especially missing a whole year. Now being a captain, I want to be at every practice and winning all my matches and playing in the top flights," says Malloy. "It's kind of frustrating not playing as well as I'd like right now and getting tired and having to take days off, but my teammates are 100 percent supportive and making sure that I don't push it too much."
A spot in the top flights is what Malloy was destined to reach when he finished his sophomore season, making the intentionally slow return in 2010 that much more difficult. After tallying a 23-8 singles record in his second campaign, Malloy was chosen as Bucknell's lone All-Patriot League performer, earning second-team honors. He also had broken into the top-15 on the program record lists for career singles, doubles and combined victories. Especially not knowing what his future held, it would have been easy for the team's stand-out player to simply continue on the same path, but Malloy was determined to have other experiences away from the Bucknell campus.
"I've always wanted to go abroad. One of the nice things about Bucknell is that it's always academics first and then tennis and then social life, at least 1-2-3 for me," says Malloy. "I love being on the tennis team, but I wanted to not put tennis at the steering wheel of my four years here. I wanted to be in a fraternity and do other activities on campus and go abroad. Missing half of the year was something that I was willing to do to go abroad."
Malloy ultimately chose to travel with Semester at Sea, allowing him to visit countries such as Spain, Ghana, South Africa, Cambodia and China. Along the way, the sociology major who is also minoring in economics and philosophy took an overnight sleeper train where "there were cockroaches and rats all over the place, and I stayed in, basically, this hut in the middle of India for a few days." He also participated in service projects that took him to orphanages and children's hospitals in each of the countries. One particularly rewarding stop resulted in the installation of a water heater as part of a class called International Service Learning.
"One of the things [our professor] instilled was the $100 Solution, where you take $100 and you develop a relationship with a community whether it be at an orphanage or a children's hospital," explains Malloy. "Every year, the Semester at Sea boat will go back to the same orphanage, and they'll say, `With our $100, what can we do to improve the quality of life for you?' So it's not $1,000, it's not $1 million. It's just $100. There was an orphanage that didn't have hot water. So with $100, we got a heater for the water and the technician came in and installed it, and now these kids have hot showers. Little things like that were really what made the trip so special."
Malloy's journey began in Nova Scotia, Canada, and the ship ultimately stopped in San Diego, Calif. After more than three months at sea, collecting experiences that most only dream about, Malloy had a long way to fall with the shock of his diagnosis. Over the last six months, however, he has made it quite clear that he would not stay down for long.
The comeback trail began over the summer when he received the Tim Nesvig Internship, allowing him to work in the sales and marketing departments at ESPN, Fox Sports and a pair of advertising agencies in New York. Nesvig was an Honorable Mention All-American with the Bucknell water polo team in 1995 and an account executive with ESPN who died of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 30. The Nesvig family, including Tim's father Jon who was with Fox Sports, soon started a foundation supporting research and the internship for Bucknell students that included those companies the Nesvigs worked closely with. The similarities in the situations were not lost on Malloy, making the opportunity that much more meaningful.
"It was just a very wonderful experience and very moving for my family and me, especially when I became sick," says Malloy. "In no way was it even close to what that family went through, but it was even that much more special to me, especially being in remission and finally being back on my feet this summer."
Malloy's return to normalcy continues this weekend as Bucknell men's tennis plays its first matches of the season on its home courts, and with any luck his bid for a full comeback will continue late into the spring. Six months from now and with the championship season on the horizon, the Bison will be hoping for another successful run through their Patriot League schedule. They'll also be hoping for some great news.

Slight Baby Ear Shell, Sincum debile: The Slight Baby Ear Shell is white and stained with rusty yellow and beautifully sculptured with fine rays crossing the lines of growth. They are very flat and delicate. They have small spires and very large apertures. They vary in size from 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) to 2.8 cm (1.1 inches).
They are found in all Mexican waters of the Pacific on tidal flats at extreme low tide and offshore to depths of 150 feet.
The Slight Baby Ear Shell is a medium sized member of the Naticidae family, the moon shells which are predatory operculated sea snails. They are found intertidally over and within sand and mud bottoms plowing through substrate seeking prey.
When on the prowl, the body extends well outside its shell; when threatened it can quickly withdraw into its shell ridding its body of large amounts of water through its foot. However, they cannot stay in these confined quarters for long because they drown.
They feed mainly on bivalve mollusks by generating a large amount of mucus to confuse their prey and then drill a neat beveled hole in the shell with its radula and feed on the organisms soft flesh. The females deposit eggs, that number in the thousands, in a collar-shaped structure made of sand grains cemented together with mucus which is molded into shape and attached over the margin of the aperture. The have short spires and large body whorls.
There are 44 global members of the Sinum Genus, all of which have sculpture with fine spiral groves, they vary in color from brown to white, and the animals are too big to fit into the shells.

Ladies Stand Ground in 74-57 UNC Asheville Win
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 12/19/2012
The Lady Wildcats put together a nearly perfect first half, opening with a 9-1 scoring run into the first timeout. Early free throws kept the UNCA hanging in there, but it was nearly 10 minutes into the game before B-CU allowed a Bulldogs field goal. By the midpoint of the half, B-CU had built a 19-7 lead and showed no signs of slowing.
"We did a great job of starting the game ahead and taking care of the easy shots we were given," Head Coach Vanessa Blair said. "I thought it was a very good team win."
As in the aggressive-minded approach that allowed B-CU to pull away from Edward Waters, the Lady Wildcats began to pressure, creating a 14-2 run to close the half, fueled by a multi-point attack that rendered defensive changes helpless. Leading 40-16 at the half, the Lady Wildcats held the largest halftime lead and allowed the lowest first half opponent output of the year, aided by just three turnovers in the first period.
In the second half, UNCA began to warm up a little after shooting just 23.8 percent in the first, led by sophomore Shonese Jones, who hit 3-of-9 in the second, including a pair of momentum-building threes. Using long range shooting, with five perimeter hits in the second half, UNCA cut into the B-CU lead, drawing it to as few as 13 with just under three minutes to go.
"It's hard for a young team to not look at the score when you go in at halftime up 40-16," Blair said. "I think what you get is just human nature, they take a couple of plays off here and there because of the cushion that they have. We've got to work on being able to close out and play two halves the same way."
However, the Lady Wildcats played to their potential, showing composure in the rally attempt, with Terrenisha Hollis and Sharnese Neal hitting crucial free throws in the final two minutes to seal the game in a 74-57 win.
"It was refreshing to see them pull together, knock down their free throws at the end of the game and finish the game with a significant advantage," Blair commented.
B-CU's 17-point win featured the efforts of eight different scorers in dispatching the Bulldogs.
Co-leading the group with Chastity René Taylor, Hollis chipped in a career-high 15 points, shot 78 percent from the floor and hit a career-best 7-of-9 free throws, helping to distribute the ball with a another career-high four assists. Taylor hit 6-of-11, including three big long range scores. Kayla Crawford also notched career highs in points (14) and steals (4), along with eight boards on the day. Rounding out the four Lady Wildcats notching double digits, Amanda Hairston shot 56 percent from the floor for 12 points of her own.
"The girls did a fantastic job of seeing the next pass," Blair noted. "They shared the ball. All of them contributed and stepped up and just relieved a lot of the pressure that Amanda [Hairston] was seeing."
The Lady Wildcats surrendered just eight turnovers in the win, a feat not matched since before the 2002-03 season, while also hitting 13-of-15 from the charity stripe; the best free throw shooting in 16 games for B-CU.
The Lady Wildcats return to action at the Hatter Classic on Wednesday, facing Georgia Southern (1-6), who befell a 41-point loss to host Stetson in early action today at the Edmunds Center.
"They're a big team, and their very athletic," Blair noted of GSU. "We've got to come to play just as hard and aggressive as we did tonight."Player Quotes:
Kayla Crawford on frontcourt aggressiveness inside
"They didn't really have any shot blockers so that really opened the door for all the post players to score."
Terrenisha Hollis on team offense in the win
"We did a good job offensively. We were patient on offense and weren't rushing anything. I'm very proud of my team."
Chastity René Taylor on team improvements in turnovers
"We try to come down making sure we're making the right pass instead of trying to just get rid of the ball."

1. What This Book Is AboutThis book is an exposition of a theory that can help us. It is not a primer of pharmacology or a program for social reform. Rather, it is the germ of a new way of thinking about drugs and consciousness - a way that creates possibilities for solving a problem that divides us bitterly in our nation, in our schools, and in our homes. I have been actively interested in drugs that affect the mind for the past ten years, and during that time I have had many opportunities to write this book. I have declined to do so until now for a number of reasons that are pertinent to the ideas I intend to develop in these pages. Before I discuss them, let me state briefly why I now wish to write. The growing presence in our midst of chemicals that seem to alter consciousness raises questions of the utmost importance for us as individuals and as social beings. Examples of these questions are: What do these drugs tell us about the relationship between mind and body? Are they legitimate tools (in any sense) for changing the mind in a direction of greater awareness? How can a society come to terms with the individual urge to alter awareness? These questions are important because they bear directly on the nature of consciousness, which is, ultimately, the only problem worthy of total intellectual effort. It is the concern of all the worlds philosophies and religions, other problems being less precise statements of the same thing. All of us are working on the problem of consciousness on some level, and the conclusions we come to determine what we think about ourselves and the universe, how we live, and how we act. The complex phenomena associated with drugs in our country seem to me to be significant pieces of evidence to be taken into account in this process - clues to help us in our work whether we use drugs or not. It would be useful to have this evidence presented clearly and unemotionally. In directing attention to matters of consciousness, I am not ignoring or minimizing the very real problems associated with drugs. Our news media are full of documented reports on the tragic consequences of the misuse of chemical agents in search of highs. But having acknowledged the reality of these problems, I propose to find solutions to them by looking to the positive aspects of the drug experience rather than to the negative ones (which are visible all around us). By positive I mean simply "tending in the direction of increase or progress" rather than the reverse, and I will attempt to justify this methodology in the course of the book. During my years as a drug expert (a role I now cheerfully abandon) I have sat through a great many conferences about drugs attended by all sorts of people, but I have never heard the important questions given the attention they deserve. Instead, I have listened to pharmacologists arguing over changes (or possibly no changes) in the chromosomes of rats exposed to LSD, to users rambling on about

*"Goo" by the Sonic Youth. This is an album that came out in about 1990. I didn't even know about Sonic Youth until well into the nineties, when I read one of the "Ghost World" comix and one of the two protagonists used the band's name in a pejorative way. I was curious, but only mildly so. Years later, Jamie who now lives in Massachusetts was in town for part of the holidays, and in order to stave off cabin fever and murdering each other and all we trooped off to the used record store for part of an afternoon, Kia and Jamie and I. I had no money so I borrowed ten bucks from Jamie and bought a cassette tape copy of "Goo". When we got home, we gave a listen. The group consensus was: meh. But I soon became smitten with all the noisy guitars and feedback and such. Later I realized that all their scrunchy, overdriven guitar noise was how I wanted to make the marimba sound, which I would try to achieve in later years, to little or no avail. I lost the cassette eventually, during a move, and haven't heard "Goo" for about five years...until now! I'm glad it's back in our house, especially the poignant "Tunic (Song for Karen)". If you ever wondered what it sounds like when your favorite emaciated vocalist/drummers go to heaven, here's your song.
*"Long Gone Before Daylight" by The Cardigans. It might be their latest. It's kind of a...little bit of a country record. By Swedes. The Swede band whose other two records that I've heard I like, which two records are not at all country, put out a country record. Which is not to say that it's not good, just that it's country and they're Swedes. The thing is, I usually don't like country done by Americans. But, you know, their singer still has a nice voice and it sounds nice and everything. I may never get through the whole cd.
*"Dialogue" (Blue Note, 1965, so you know it's good) and "Oblique"(Blue Note, 1967) by Bobby Hutcherson. "Hutch", as his friends probably call him, has been my favorite vibesist forever. He phrasing is amazing, and he plays very melodically without throwing notes around all willy-nilly. This is hard to do on your mallet instruments; take it from someone who knows. Plus, he played on "Out to Lunch" and is therefore a full-fledged jazz legend. But what sort of fruit has this jazz legendness bore, you ask? Or, if you're trying to sound "street", you may ask: Yo, what's the four-one-one on the Hutch rizzecords, G?
*"Dialogue" might be the album that sounds most like "Out to Lunch" without being "Out to Lunch". This is partly because Richard Davis and Freddie Hubbard both play on it, along with Sam Rivers, Andrew Hill, Joe Chambers and Hutcherson. Also, because the kind of exploratory spirit that pervades "Out to Lunch" is apparent on much of "Dialogue". Angular melodies and comlicated improvisational interplay abound, especially in the title track (by Chambers) and "Les Noirs Marchant" (by Hill). Meanwhile, Hill's playing and writing (plus maybe his intrument being the piano) help ground the whole thing in the jazz tradition, but in a nice way, not a moribund way. His "Ghetto Lights" is a striking re-imagining of the blues, and the solos it draws from Hubbard, Rivers and Hutcherson are just magic. Yes, there was a time when Freddie Hubbard was a great trumpet player, and here's the evidence.
*And as for "Oblique": HOLY FUCKING JESUS FUCK, why didn't I know about this until now? Shit, I hadn't even heard of the bass player, Albert Stinson (who died young of an overdose or something). The quartet is rounded out by herbie Hancock and, once again, Joe Chambers. (By the way, no one ever talks about how good Joe Chambers is, so I'll do it now. Joe Chambers is really good: versatile, tasteful, solid. A drummer's drummer, if you will!) I'm still in the process of disseminating "Oblique", but so far I've been totally knocked on my ass by the amazing energy of it, by the sound of such talent at the height of its power. And it's never loud, brash or hackneyed; all of the excitement it generates is purely musical, much of it based on the rapport between two great keyboardists.
I also bought some gum last week. Next time I'll go on and on about the gum.

LOS ANGELES--Madam Media Oprah Winfrey may soon scoop-up the LA Clippers, it will be a phenomenal move by the media mogul. Winfrey is not going at this solo, she will have two other heavy weights, David Geffen and Larry Ellison, and the threesome just might be placing a bid on the team, sources told ESPN. Although she has expressed that she does not have an interest in managing the LA Clippers. But surely fans can expect that she will not be able to stay away from the games, and we can be certain that we will see her on the sidelines rooting for her team. Now, the question will be: "Will she wear the team's banner and blow an air horn from the bleacher seats?"
The bidding opportunity came about after derogatory remarks were recorded during a squabble between Donald Sterling's and his girlfriend Vanessa Stiviano. Stiviano placed the recording that made derogatory remarks about America's African descendants into the public realm, and they became the judge and jury that hung Sterling's career high up on the tree. The public's outcry for justice was heard by NBA commissioner Adam Silver, and compiled with the public's demands. Sliver is insistent that Sterling sells the Clippers, and as that was not enough Silver felt that more punishment needed, and ordered that Sterling be banned for life from the NBA. The commissioner took another step forward and slapped Sterling with a $2.5 million fine as part of the many other sanctions that he had in store for him.
As if Winfrey's closet is not filled enough with her own tea brand, O magazine, her very own cable network, she even has her own Presidential Medal of Freedom. Now she wants to jam in those Clippers, as it will be one more item in her closet. Geffen is a music and film mogul with a net worth of $6.2 billion estimated by Forbes magazine. There have been several reports that he has made numerous attempts to purchase the Clippers in the past. Also, the software conglomerate Oracle's CEO Ellison has attempted to place his stakes on any sports team he could get his grips on, however he was always foiled one way or another no matter how many times he has tried.
The three musketeers jumping in to bid to buy the billion dollar Clippers, and that will be quite a feat have happen. With Winfrey, Geffen and Ellison at the helm the team can really use such inspiration of those world-class entrepreneurs. Winfrey, after all could well be the very first African American woman celebrity too ever own a professional NBA basketball team in US history, if the bid is approved. Other bidders have not been disclosed as it has been kept confidential from the public at this time. We can be certain that the team would be at the cheering end if the three musketeers get a hold of them.

Yeah, it's going to be embarrassing finishing 9th or 10th in this conference.
It is bad, very bad.
Shame we wont be able to take advantage.
Big XII looks as bad or worse than B1G last year
Baylor just might run away with the conference.
Baylor is pretty damn good IMO. Top 10 good I think.
This is a thread for posting pictures of dumpster fires.
On a positive note, the SEC isn't doing so great.

The Bulldozer/Snowplow
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
The Bulldozer/Snowplow
After the previous weekend, I was eager to get out with Laura and Yvonne for a wintery hack (before all the snow disappeared). We were lucky enough to be able to meet once and go for a nice long hack, up the roads and along the closed concession again.
First we had to get to Diamond Ridge to meet Yvonne. I was a little nervous as he hadn�t yet been out in deep snow, and has been a little goofy/energetic anytime we had gone outside recently; finding various stumps etc to become very suspicious of! Not to worry this time, despite the fact the snow was deep white seemed to be white to him, and he was relaxed knowing exactly where he was going. He seemed to like also going through the untouched snow in the back more than he liked following the trail a dog-walker had made through the fields. So we met up with Yvonne and Roxy, no problems, and carried on to meet Laura and Alvin a little further down the road.
The whole way Bentley was relaxed and happy. He seemed to like it better now that he knew where he was going. �Hey, I have been here! Therefore this must be MY territory!� He even stayed nice and calm (as much as could be expected) when we were followed by a dog, then later had a dog snapping at our hooves, and even saw some construction equipment disappear and reappear. Those little ponies flanked by a kennel full of unseen dogs (seriously, we guessed there had to be about 30 dogs from all the barking) caused a bit of a sweat, but he didn�t take much convincing to walk past.
Once we turned onto the closed concession, we were met with deep untouched snowdrifts. We weren�t expecting this, as its a common place for snowmobiling, but nothing! Toward the end, we determined that horses are far superior to snowmobiles because we could see where they tried to get up the hills but failed� of course, we didn�t fail! Bentley led the group through all this stuff, we determined he made the best snowplow because hes the tallest, or at least the same as Roxy, but only with longer legs (Roxy is quite stocky as a Belgian cross) so it was easier for him to get through. We were able to stay in the shallow side of the drift 90% of the time, but when we weren�t given the option, the drifts went up to chest deep. He had no trouble, and just loved pushing through it. We did meet the cows along the concession, which got some dirty looks from the horses, and at that point my phone rang which didn�t help either! I only ever get phone calls when I am riding with Laura, nobody ever calls me otherwise! While I could feel Bentley�s shock from the noises, there was no real spook and we got out safe.
The ride was one of those nice uneventful walks, just slow, calm and happily enjoying great company.

South Korean sexpots, Nine Muses, continue going from strength to strength with the release of their new single, "Wild." The song, produced by longtime collaborator, Sweetune, is a departure from January's jazzy "Dolls," with zippy euro-pop production, some epic rap breaks, and sensual lyrics about getting lost in the heat of passion.
"Wild" is already ranking high on digital sales charts, making it another victory for the Muses, who have been gradually growing in popularity with every single they've released since their fizzy disco throwback, "Figaro," back in mid-2011.
As the group's success has grown, so has the quality of their music videos. "Wild" is by far their best looking visual to date, not to mention their hottest and most sexually aggressive. The Muses flash flesh, play with fetish gear, seductively rub blunt razors across their lips — basically just a bunch of scandalous stuff that generally causes controversy in the conservative K-pop world. Luckily for Nine Muses, it's the kind of controversy that translates to sales, and not the kind that ruins careers (T-ara, we're looking at you).
Check out our favorite wild moments for the new Nine Muses music video, below!

Leesem once again protests against her lack of lines by giving Korea more boobage than it can handle
Hyuna paints her toenails while wearing a collar and chain

Twice a year, in April and October, the Mossy Creek Barnyard Festival in Perry, GA, delights visitors with a celebration of country fun and "the way things used to be." The festival has been named one of the top 20 events in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society and is a favorite of Middle Georgians.
Live music, folk art, home-style country cooking, hayrides, and magic & ventriloquism performances are all part of the weekend-long jamboree. "Ole Timers" are on hand throughout the event to teach traditional craft activities like soap and candle making, how to make a bullwhip or broom, and basket-weaving. Music aficionados will appreciate lessons on how to build, and play, a dulcimer, one of Appalachia's most beloved instruments.
Skilled craftspeople from more than 20 states attend the festival to showcase their wares and skills. Pottery, jewelry, painting, leather goods, basketry, and handmade rugs are just a few of the many displays featured. Nationally-recognized artists such as Ernie Mills – whose hand-carved decoys are in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution – demonstrate their work and answer questions from wannabe artisans.
The Mossy Creek Barnyard Festival is 24 miles south of Macon, accessible from exit 142 or 138 off I-75.
