Any hope that Cadel Evans had of reeling in Giro d'Italia race leader Vincenzo Nibali have dwindled further after Friday's 19th stage was cancelled due to snow along the route.
The Australian sits just over four minutes behind the 28-year-old Italian following Thursday's time trial.
The 19th stage in the 21-leg race had already been altered because of avalanche threats and sub-zero temperatures.
Organisers say there are "adverse weather conditions and, in particular, snow on the stage route in its entirety."
With snow and ice predicted, the Gavia and Stelvio passes were cut from the route.
However, a longer 160km route from Ponte di Legno was set to be climbed to the original finish of Val Martello.
The decision leaves Nibali just one more difficult leg - Saturday's mountainous stage 20 - to navigate and claim the overall victory.
The race ends in Brescia on Sunday with a mainly flat 197km stage from Riese to Brescia.
Nibali smashed his rivals on his way to winning a rain-soaked 18th stage uphill time trial from Mori to Polsa.
Evans began the day only 1min 26sec behind the Italian but the Australian was two and a half minutes slower over the 20.6km course.
Colombian Rigoberto Uran is in third place overall, only a handful of seconds adrift of Evans, with former pink jersey champion Michele Scarponi moving up to fourth at 5:14.
It was Nibali's first stage win of this year's race, and third overall, and should be enough to see him become the first Italian to win the Giro since Scarponi was handed the 2011 title after Alberto Contador of Spain was disqualified for doping.
"I have a significant advantage now and that will allow me to control the coming two stages in more tranquil fashion," said Nibali.
Evans thought he would do better.
"Today wasn't what I was looking for or what I was even expecting," said the Australian.
"But when you're halfway into a time trial it's not like I can find an extra minute. It's not through lack of trying that I lose a minute or two minutes."

Tigers ride running game to 28-14 win over Walker
|Eric LeBlanc
The Tiger defense was also key in the victory, holding a Charger team that was averaging close to 37 points a game to just two touchdowns. The Tigers had four takeaways on the night, two of them interceptions in Charger territory. The first of those interceptions by defensive back Devonty Alexander set up Whites first touchdown of the game. The second, snatched by linebacker Brody Bourg, his second of the game, set up Whites final score early in the fourth quarter.
The Tigers built up an early 21-0 lead that took them through halftime and the beginning of the third quarter. Two of those drives were highlighted by long receptions from quarterback Brian Ensminger to receivers Ronny Green and Dontrell Strickland.
Ensminger, who was injured last week against Lutcher, was healthy enough to start and completed 6 of 15 passes for 102 yards.
In the third quarter, the Tiger offense was held in check by the Chargers which allowed Walker an opportunity to keep the game from becoming a blowout.
The Chargers finally cracked the Tiger defense late in the third quarter on a 50-yard drive that was helped along by two lengthy penalties on the Tigers. The other Charger score came on a long drive in the fourth quarter, but by then the Tigers had sealed up the game.
After falling to Lutcher last week, the Tigers rebound with a strong victory to improve to 3-1 on the season. Hahnville will host Vanderbilt Catholic next Friday in their Homecoming game.

It is freeing, it is empowering, it is wonderful, it is how the world should be.
It's also how 18-year-old Belle Knox describes filming a porn scene, "an honest day's work" that goes toward her $60,000 (U.S.) tuition fees.
Knox has landed infamy as the "Duke porn star," a fiercely unapologetic freshman at the prestigious North Carolina university who is putting herself through school with a side career in the adult-film industry, finding it less degrading than the waitressing job she had once. A women's studies major ultimately aspiring to work as a human-rights lawyer, Knox (her porn name) recently began flying out to Los Angeles during breaks in her school schedule to film hardcore sex scenes.
It's a titillating duality that both her classmates and the Internet hordes have had trouble stomaching. A male friend outed Knox's x-rated alter ego at a frat party in January. The next day, the young woman was treated to 230 friend requests on her personal Facebook account, plus legions of new followers on the Twitter profile she maintains as a fledgling porn star. Gossip also spread like wildfire on the anonymous online student forum CollegiateACB; stares and whispers greeted her in the schools dining hall. On Valentine's Day, the student newspaper published her story, dubbing it "Duke's best worst-kept secret." After a month-long correspondence, reporter Katie Fernelius was left perturbed, describing Knox as "at once both whip smart and distressingly naive."
After online bullies divulged her real name and personal details – and wished her dead – Knox published two essays in the online women's magazine xoJane.com, revealing her face but refusing to use her real name. Even with the pride she takes in her work (and a Twitter feed peppered with explicit shots), Knox explained she deserves to keep what's left of her privacy: "My sexuality is not some sort of blackmail to be used against me, granting you ownership over my life or my story." She spoke with The Globe.
Did it surprise you that young, sexual, porn-watching university students reacted this way to you?
To judge me for something that everybody consumes, it's so incredibly hypocritical. I'm getting a lot of heat from people at Duke who are telling me that I'm bringing bad publicity to the school. The reality is that this never would have been a scandal if the culture at Duke hadn't been so bad for women that I was met with threats, sexist remarks and slander.
"You want to see me naked. And then you want to judge me for letting you see me naked." That's what you wrote about critics who are also porn consumers.
Porn is a multibillion-dollar industry. It's very widely consumed. Like any other industry if there wasn't demand it wouldn't exist. This reflects how we don't view the people in this industry as people, we don't see the humanity behind that screen. We're prepared to watch them having sex but we're not prepared to recognize them as human beings deserving of equal protection.
A colleague of mine said "people hate porn stars because they represent a part of themselves they hate."
I think people are repressed in their own lives and jealous of the fact that I can live my life, be a sexual person and be unapologetic about it.
How did you get into porn?
I've been working in the industry since November. I needed a way to pay for my tuition. I didn't want to have to take out loans and be indebted to a bank for decades. I knew that no matter what job I got, it wouldn't be enough to pay the $4,300 bill I got every month. I literally Googled "how to be a porn star" and all these agencies popped up. I do porn, I make DVDs, I do everything but I don't do Web-camming. I can make $1,200 a scene. Porn is giving me a lot of financial independence and stability.
You've said working in porn is empowering. People balk at that word in this context.
The only narrative we've heard is that porn is bad, porn is degrading to women and porn is dangerous. It's condescending for people to tell me about my experience when I'm the one living my experience. It's patronizing and reflective of the views we have of the sex industry as a whole. You can't generalize. People in every industry – journalism, medicine – may feel very degraded and hate their job. Others love it and are empowered by it. Some of us really want to be here so don't assume that we're all trafficked or exploited.
Do you think your experience is the norm?
I don't think my experience is atypical. All of the women I've met love their jobs.
Your Twitter bio reads "rising porn starlet." Is this outing at Duke free publicity?
My haters are my motivators. I never intended for any of this to happen but I've been outed and thrust into the spotlight. I can't unring the bell, so I'm going to take advantage and use it as a platform to talk about these issues.
You've insisted on not using your real name. Can starring in online porn ever be a private decision?
I've had a lot of people say to me, "What did you expect when you did porn?" Why is it expected that women who do porn will be outed, but also harassed and threatened? Just because I do sex work doesn't mean that I don't deserve to have some level of privacy in my life. Yes, I was probably naive to think that I could keep this a secret, but it's upsetting, this rhetoric of "you deserve everything you have coming to you because you chose to engage in a taboo market."
What do your porn colleagues make of your newfound virality and the threats?
It's a process. They're working with me at this point. I got victim-blaming from the police when I reported the threats. I'm trying to get them to take these threats seriously and not slip through their fingers.
How will you face down the bullies in school, who will be relentless?
There have been times when I haven't felt resilient. I've wanted to cry and crawl into my bed. I plan to graduate with my class from my dream school. I have friends who have been supportive of me. The LGBTQ community at Duke has been really great.
What challenges do you foresee with potential employers down the line?
My work in porn has given me insight into sex work. I want to be a women's rights lawyer, a human-rights lawyer. I have dived into an industry that could use a lot of changes. I don't want to work with anybody who wouldn't hire me because I do sex work. People keep trying to pick me apart. They say I don't really need the money and that I'm not as empowered as I think. There is criticism from all sides but I'm firm in my position.

How did Batu Caves condo project escape MIC?
It appears to me that someone is indeed lying, and MIC should now go back to ask why former councillor, A Kohilan Pillay, had failed to block the construction project in 2007, despite his and P Kamalanathan's absence from the full board meeting.
Now that the project is going ahead, both former councillors should be held accountable for their failure to protect the interest of the Indians.
Firstly, why were they absent for something as important as the full board meeting, especially when it involved an important issue like protecting the Batu Caves, if this was ever at the heart of MIC in the first place?
Secondly, despite their absence, why did the duo not raise this issue up again after the approval was given by the full board?
Did they even write in officially to object against the project? I am sure within the MIC, there is still room to raise up the subject all the way to the president himself.
Now for former MIC president Samy Vellu to suddenly wake up and be involved in a public demonstration, and for the duo to claim that it was only a planning approval that was made by the full MPS board, and not making noise over it, is like telling the whole world that the Earth is square.
Thirdly, why did the full board approve the project despite it having social, religious and environmental implications?
In the first place, the Department of Environment had already stated its objections against the project.
The full board was then made of representatives from BN-linked political parties.
Did they not have any consideration towards the sensitivities of the Hindu community and did they think they were too powerful that no one could stand in their way to stop the project?
What irks me is to see the former MIC president himself leading the demonstration!
And the lack of sincerity in this entire issue when MIC is supposed to protect the interests of the Hindu community, in much the same way MCA is supposed to protect the interest of the Chinese.
But what history tells us is that both parties are too engrossed with power struggles so much so they has failed utterly in their role as race-based parties.
As a Malaysian citizen, I totally reject race-based political parties. It is time for us as a country to look at ourselves objectively, putting aside the emotional side of things. We are lagging behind countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
If I were a foreign investor, where would I put my money?
We should be grateful that the old investors are still having confidence in our economy, but the newer ones see us as a small economy, with too many political and policy controls over the business sector.
If we try, for the sake of winning Selangor, to apply pressure on the Selangor state government now to withdraw the project, and pay millions of ringgits to compensate the developer, Selangor taxpayers are not going to take it easy on the MIC.
In particular, on these two former MPS councillors and the entire BN which made up the full board, for their failure to stop the project right from the beginning.
We are not going to pay for their failure without lashing back at them.
Keep Malaysiakini independent!
Malaysiakini will be 18 this year. That we've survived this long is because of you.
Your support matters. A lot. Especially those who pay RM150 annually, RM288 biennially or RM388 triennially to keep Malaysiakini independent from government/opposition influence and corporate interests. Advertising alone will not keep Malaysiakini afloat.
Together, we've gone far. We've covered three prime ministers, four general elections, five Bersih rallies, and countless scandals. But the journey continues.
Help us deliver news and views that matter to Malaysians. Help us make a difference for Malaysia.

Carnival Spirit - South Pacific 9 night Cruise *****: Carnival Spirit Cruise Review by lallygirl1973
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Spirit - South Pacific 9 night Cruise *****
Destination: South Pacific
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
We had an absolutely fantastic time. I was a little worried that the ship would be full of unruly children running around but it was not at all. There were plenty of children onboard but for the most part they were very well behaved.
We stayed in a balcony cabin on deck 4. It was very clean and spacious. The rooms are cleaned daily and you get clean towels twice a day. The towel animal and chocolates was a wonderful idea. It was so nice to come back to your cabin and have your bed turned down and the towel animal sitting on your bed. The bathroom was on the smallish side but it was practical and the shower was great. As for noise from the cabins above us. We More hardly heard any noise. The cabins are quite sound proof. We would occasionally here what sounded like kids jumping from their bunk beds but that was very minimal and didn't worry us one bit.
The food and services on board was mind blowing. You could choose between the Empire Dining Room which was full table service for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner or you could dine on La Playa Grille which was buffet style dining. We chose to eat at La Playa Grille for breakfast and lunch and the Empire dining room for dinner. There was plenty of variety at both locations. We also went to the Noveau Restaurant one night which has a cover charge of $35 per head and it was out of this world. The lobster and steak was perfect not to mention the dessert. We didn't have any problems with the food on board at all. I have read alot of reviews where people have complained about the standard of food on board. All I can say is that they must be very very hard to please. The only little thing I could criticise about La Playa Grille was that it was pretty chilly in there most days but if you wore a light jumper you were fine.
We managed to always either get a pod, hammock or deck chair in the Serenity area. It was perfect for us as we didn't have our children with us. The spa wasn't too busy. Other travellers were very fair with not staying in the spa or pods for hours on end. If the spa in Serenity was full you could always go to the spa in the gym. The cocktails were of reasonable price being from $9.50 to $10.50. They also offered warm throw blankets for those of us that were a little chilly from the sea breeze on sea days.
Lido Deck
We didn't spend anytime on the Lido deck where the other two pools were located. There were lots of kids and live music in there and the families seemed to be having a wonderful time with the games on offer for the entire family.
I couldn't believe the variety of entertainment on offer on board. There was a different show to see every night. We got to see two comedians, 2 broadway type shows, a hypnotist and an illusionist. They were repeated twice to cater for the two different dining times which was a fantastic ideas. Sea days also included a movie each day which didn't just cater for the kids, it also had some great adult movies on offer. Bingo was lots of fun but it was on the pricey side. In saying that the prizes on offer ranged from $300 to $2000 on the final day at sea. The Carnival singers and dancers were very professional and of a high standard. All the shows in the Pharaoh's palace were enjoyable and because they ran 2 shows each night it was never to overcrowded.
Ports & Shore Excursions
Unfortunately because of high winds we were unable to visit Mystery Island but that isn't Carnival's fault. They made sure there were plenty of activities on board for the day to compensate. We did get to visit Noumea, Isle of Pines and Lifou.
We chose the shore excursion to Amidee Island from Noumea which was a quick 40 minute boat ride. It was $179 each for the day but this included a tour of the reef, a glass bottom boat ride, a beautiful buffet lunch and entertainment. It was well worth the money spent.
Lifou was fantastic and great weather. We did one shore excursion to visit a grotto which was a really good and informative tour. The island was lovely and so were the locals. Most things were within a short walking distance.
Isle of Pines was lovely as well. It was a little cooler when we visited there. We didn't do any shore excursions at Isle of Pines but there were plenty of locals offering reasonable prices to do excursions.
The staff aboard Carnival Spirit couldn't do enough for you. From our room steward to our waiters in the Empire Dining Room the service was impeccable. They were very happy to talk to you about their families and what their life aboard a cruise ship entails. 5***** service always. Stu the Cruise Director was very engaging and friendly. We really enjoyed the several talks he did and they were very informative.
Shopping Onboard
Fantastic - great sales daily and souvenirs were reasonably priced. Leave it until a few days before you leave to get your souvenirs because there are different sales on each day.
We had a very relaxing and wonderful cruise. At times when my husband and I walked around the ship you didn't run into a single person. It was never over crowded and we met some wonderful people on board. We intend on cruising again with Carnival and will definitely take our children with us next year. Bring on 2014!!!! Less

Cabin review: 8A4221 Balcony
Balcony Cabin on deck 4. Roomy, plenty of storage. We were towards the back of the ship so there was little movement. Very quite were we were located. Bathroom was small but practical. Service from room steward was sensational. They couldn't do enough for you.Read All Balcony (8A) Reviews >>

At the time of the inspection, the sole interpreting physician, radiologic technologist, and/or medical physicist at a facility is found to not meet one of their requirements.
Must the person and the facility immediately stop practicing mammography?
If personnel fail to meet a requirement, the facility will be cited. The actions that the facility and the persons involved must or should take will be dependent on the specific circumstances that exist at the facility. For example, if the radiologic technologist fails to meet a requirement, the technologist can continue to perform mammography under the direct supervision of the interpreting physician (as long as the physician meets the technologist qualifications). If the physician fails to meet a requirement, he/she must stop interpreting mammograms independently; however, the facility can continue to perform mammography with the studies being interpreted by a different interpreting physician at a later time. Under no circumstance can the interval between performing and providing the results of the examination exceed 30 days. If the medical physicist fails a requirement, the facility will be cited but can continue to perform and interpret mammograms.
Because the consequences of having a facility cease performing mammography services, even for a short time, can be so detrimental to patient access and patient care, the inspector must take special actions in such cases. If both the interpreting physician and radiologic technologist fail to meet their requirements or other conditions exist that would cause shut down of the facility's operations, the inspector should immediately contact the FDA Hotline for further instructions. In those cases where FDA determines that there is not an immediate risk to human health, the facility can continue to use the personnel for a limited time so that the problem(s) can be corrected without adversely affecting patient care and access.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Chef Michael Wagner knows there's more to American classics than chicken wings and turkey dinners. There are potatoes, for instance. And Coke. But what he does with corn dogs and hamburger meat goes well beyond anything your mama would recognize from her recipe-card file: Potato skins at Lola's come in hues of purple, topped with crème fraîche, bacon bits, and a luxurious sprinkling of sturgeon caviar; a corn dog employs Wagyu beef, porcini mushrooms, and homemade sweet bell pepper ketchup; Coca-Cola appears in barbecued beef ribs with buttermilk-battered onion rings and creamed corn. Wagner's turkey dinner is calculated to soothe any metaphysical ache you might have dragged through the door with you, substituting creamy polenta for the usual mashed potatoes, beautifully glazed Brussels sprouts, and pomegranate-sundried cherry gravy that floats the idea of cranberry sauce without that tired trope. Where other chefs offer a less-than-comforting pat on the head with their meatloaf and fried chicken, Wagner's New American cooking feels like a sweeping embrace from some beloved, half-crazy Auntie Mame: Life's a banquet, baby!
They look so creepy that most folks won't touch 'em, but that's just fine — more for us! A langoustine looks like a cross between a spider and a shrimp that deep down wants to be a lobster — could be it's the animal that inspired T.S. Eliot to imagine a "pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas." At Bova Prime, they don't fuss around and try to make it pretty for you: These suckers are presented head to tail, with their tickly feelers fanned out on the plate. The langoustine is not a native of Florida, and you don't see it on many menus here. It's more precious than our lumbering stone crabs and slow-witted spiny lobster; these are the fairy folk of the shellfish world. Sizzled over charcoal and served with a tart green mache salad ($23), the meat in their little tails, each about the size of your middle finger, is as soft and sweet as a breathy endearment whispered on a deserted beach.
Two pretty, perky girls as cute as '50s pinups, Michelle Parparian and Amanda Watkins, have transformed a 1920s Florida cottage into a vintage clothing store with a cupcakery in the tiny rear kitchen — a kitchen known to turn out a thousand cupcakes at a pop for local events. But they're not too busy stocking bridal showers and tea parties to tend to your sweet tooth: Shop for party frocks, beaded purses, and wrist bangles first, then head to the back of the house for rejuvenation in the form of chocolate or vanilla cupcakes ($1.75 each) swirled with the dreamiest pink icing ever whipped up in a vintage mixing bowl. Along with these deliriously cloudlike cupcakes, they produce small, dense, heart-shaped brownies ($1 each) and vanilla sugar cookies with royal icing in dozens of shapes and themes. At present, it's best to call ahead if you want specialty cupcakes like black forest, red velvet, carrot, chocolate mint, strawberry shortcake, lemon drop, or orange creamsicle. But these marvelous mavens plan to open a full-service café in July, so all gratifications will soon be instantaneous.
Tiki-tacky Havana Hideout is what most South Florida dining looked like 30 years ago — a bar under open air and thatch, plus a minuscule, shadowy mouse hole indoors. Before we got gentrified and supersized, before the chains and celeb chefs from California and New York found out we were hoarding paradise, any Floridian could follow the path pounded smooth by many flip-flops to some joint grilling burgers and fish sandwiches. A guy would be mangling Neil Young covers on his beat-up guitar; you'd drink beer by the pitcher, passing scraps to the canine under your table (maybe your mutt, maybe not). Owner Chrissy Benoit is channeling our nostalgia, only updated with drinkable specialty brews on tap and a slightly expanded menu. From a catering truck sidled up to the outdoor deck, she turns out pulled-pork and Cuban sandwiches, fish tacos, nachos, pionono (think tropical shepherd's pie), and chocolate chili pepper ice cream. And just like in the old days, the only seasoning this grub needs is salt air and sunshine.
South Florida isn't a wasteland for quality 'cue, as some purists would have you believe. But we do have the unfortunate affliction of not having one place that sets the bar for the rest. Which is why New Times' Best Barbecue category will, this year, not go to one joint but several, each for different reasons. First up, the 50-year-old icon and 2008 Best Of winner, Georgia Pig in Davie, whose chopped pork, slow cooked on an ancient, open-faced stove, is the stuff of legend. Its infused smokiness and appealing textural variation (crispy cracklin' versus tender chunks) are only enhanced by the Pig's light and subtle vinegar sauce, also the best around. As far as BBQ's most sacred sides are concerned — those being collard greens and mac and cheese — Bar-B-Q Jack's are hard to beat. The collards, a perfect mix of sweet and savory, laced with pork-y chunks; the mac and cheese, moist and gooey, yet broiled for the right amount of crunch. Fort Lauderdale's go-to 'cue shack, Tom Jenkins' Bar-B-Q, does a lot of things well, but its slow-cooked brisket truly rises above the rest. And, in a scene where sickly sweet sauces still dominate, the moist, dry-rubbed ribs at Deep Down South BBQ in Lauderdale Lakes prove that SOS (that's "sauce on the side") is always the best option when 'cue is done right. All are good choices, and if you're willing to make the drive all over town to assemble it, together they would make one fine plate of BBQ.
It was a long, jubilant night with a crazy crowd. Let's face it, you got drunk — again. And as your head begins to clear, you want something different. Not late-night tacos. Not pizza, sandwiches, or waffles. Certainly not the drive-through you had a few times. (You always regretted that later.) No, you want... biscuits! Flaky, tender, warm, golden, soft biscuits. Just like Grandma would've made you if she had ever stopped drinking long enough. They soak up all that booze, ease the burn. Courtyard Café is open 24 hours on the weekends, and the biscuits get better as the night goes on. They're good smothered, covered, buttered, or plain. No matter how you get them, they come out split, fried, and steaming. Get two for yourself or buy the table a dozen. The trick here: staying sober enough to remember how damned good those biscuits were.

First lady Michelle Obama has a tough job -- she had to go to warm and sunny Hawaii with President Obama for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
He was there to host the summit and for the start of a nine-day, 10,000-mile diplomatic trip aimed at deepening relations with Asia. She took the opportunity to promote her anti-obesity Let's Move! campaign at Hawaii's largest organic farm, the MA'O farm, in a native-Hawaii community on Saturday.
Her outfit for a summit dinner was strikingly unusual: An off-the-shoulder, near-strapless knee-length dress in pink and gray silk that highlighted her enviably buff arms.
But down on the farm, she wore a sleeveless navy dress during a tour of the non-profit project, in fertile Lualualei Valley in Waianae. Then she sat down for a roundtable with the college students who help tend the farm.
The farm raises fruits and vegetables for local consumption, and also aims to develop young leaders in touch with the land and their heritage, according to the Honolulu Star Advertiser.
Obama said she believes her campaign is working. "Like you guys: You now eat vegetables. You actually know what arugula is. And you eat it," she joked, according to the White House transcript of the event.
Alluding to the beautiful weather in Hawaii, she also warned one young woman who is headed for the first lady's hometown early next year.
"Chicago in February -- she doesn't realize that it won't be that fun," Obama said to more laughter. "Just bring a sweater, long underwear. ... Hats and gloves. Someone who knows cold, help her before she goes."

The yeomanry: In neo-feudalist California, the biggest losers tend to be the old private sector middle class.
This decline, not surprisingly, has engendered a dour mood among much of the yeomanry.
These corresponded to the yeomanry of the mother country; and most of them were from the English trading classes.
In a very short time we were able to use the yeomanry in the front line.
The only barrier against tyranny, that is necessary in any State, is the election of legislators by the yeomanry of that State.
In a few minutes the yeomanry were in hot pursuit of the enemy.
They ought to make me a magistrate and a captain of yeomanry.
However, nothing came, and he rode to the Rectory in yeomanry equipment.
He was pursued for a short distance by the yeomanry, and some prisoners and camels were captured.
At five o'clock the yeomanry were called from the reserve at Lala Baba.

before arranging a visit to the EMU Library
Have you discussed your students' research needs with your school librarian or media specialist? Have the students had at least one session with the school librarian or media specialist focusing on research strategies and sources for their topic?
Has your school librarian contacted the EMU Library for consultation on research strategies appropriate for your students? Frequently this consultation raises key issues regarding student research behavior and needs, empowers the school librarian to facilitate student research, and identifies a variety of approaches to achieve teaching and learning objectives.
Can your students get needed information more easily from the school or local public library? Consider what is available to all schools through the Michigan eLibrary (MeL). Our undergraduate students are heavy users of these same databases. Books and articles not provided by these databases, but cited in them, can be obtained from our collections through interlibrary loan from local public library systems, typically free of charge. Students are still very welcome to come to the EMU Library to access and photocopy their own articles, with help from our reference staff in finding additional information, as needed.
Do your students need the level and range of information that can be found at a research library? More than just quantity and depth of scholarly resources, college-level research is a process of sustained inquiry. This process draws upon a fairly sophisticated mental model of the information world, a model which students develop by addressing assignments of graduated, carefully-calibrated complexity. Consider the value to your students of providing them with a learning situation that builds a framework for managing the complexity of the university information environment with self-confidence and realistic expectations. We find that students who have performed the process in the controlled environment of a secondary school before arriving at the university are better prepared for college-level research anywhere.
Is there a possibility that a visit to the EMU Library will result in increased frustration for your students? Competing with our primary users for resources and services during busy times of our academic year may actually result in loss of confidence and in your students developing a negative image of the University Library and library experience generally. This is our worst-case scenario and one that can be avoided.

I am doing some research on drugs used in surgery. I am looking for a list of the most commonly used drugs in surgery, but I have not been able to find one. I recognize that certain procedures require specific drugs. I am looking for those drugs that are used in the broadest number of cases in a general surgery setting.
Can anyone out there suggest a source for or know this information? I appreciate any help you can offer.

The Los Angeles Kings dropped their second consecutive game Sunday, allowing the game-winning goal to the Detroit Red Wings with just 4.5 seconds left in regulation. Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson found the puck on his stick just before the final buzzer sounded, and fired a shot past Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick to give his team a 3-2 victory.
Los Angeles won a face off with 14 seconds remaining, but defenseman Drew Doughty's attempt to clear the zone fell short. Doughty slapped the puck towards the blue line, but didn't get enough, flipping it right onto the stick of the Red Wings' defenseman. Ericsson's slap shot from the point made its way through the legs of Quick, and slowly trickled past the goal line.
Ericsson and his Red Wings teammates weren't the only ones happy about the games end result.
"The funniest thing is actually that one of the linesmen was thanking me after I scored, and he said, 'Thank you so much, I really had to go pee. I wouldn't last overtime,' so that was kind of funny."
Although he was responsible for the biggest moment of the afternoon, Ericsson deflected the credit to his goaltender Jimmy Howard,
"Without Jimmy, we wouldn't have [had] a chance today," Ericsson said. "I think [the Kings] were better throughout the game. He made some really good saves, and he really kept us in the game the first two periods. We owe Jimmy this win."
The Kings fought hard on offense all afternoon mustering up a season-high 47 shots on goal, but still had trouble finding the net behind Howard. Plenty of those shots translated into good scoring chances throughout the game, but Howard was impressive in stopping 45 of 47 shots, helping his team improve to 7-4-1 on the season.
With his team trailing 2-1 late in the third, defenseman Alec Martinez finally broke through tying the game with just 52 seconds remaining and Quick on the bench for the extra attacker. The Detroit native got himself free in front of the net and backhanded a loose rebound past Howard, but the Kings failed to get at least a point after conceding the late game-winning goal a mere 48 seconds later.
Forwards Pavel Datsyuk and Damien Brunner scored first-period goals, and Henrik Zetterberg had two assists for Detroit, who won its third straight game overall.
Center Anze Kopitar scored the only other Kings goal in a losing effort. Slava Voynov and Rob Scuderi earned the assists on Kopitar's first-period goal.
Defenseman Keaton Ellerby played his first game in a Kings uniform after being acquired on Friday in a trade with the Florida Panthers. He recorded one hit and an even defensive rating in over 18 minutes of action on Sunday.
Despite a losing effort the Kings played one of their better games of the season, creating quality scoring chances mainly in the first and second periods. Captain Dustin Brown felt the team played well offensively, but also credited Howard for coming up big.
"From an offensive standpoint, I think the biggest difference for us [was that] we had some Grade-A scoring chances," said Brown. "Howard had a pretty good game."
The defending champs are off to a poor start, sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference and dropping to 3-5-2 on the season following Sunday's loss. Although they played well, the Kings failed to pick up any ground in the standings, and with just 38 games left in a condensed season, they'll need to start producing points in order to have a chance at defending the Stanley Cup.
"At the end of the day, we didn't get the result that we want…" Brown stated. "That was probably our best 60 minutes in a long time. Now we've got to forget about the last 10 seconds. We've got a game tomorrow, and probably, especially in a shortened season we won't have time to sit here and talk about 'what-ifs'."
Los Angeles is 1-3-0 on their current five-game road trip, and will play the finale of that set on Monday against the St. Louis Blues at 5 PM PST.Tags: Alec Martinez, Anze Kopitar, Damien Brunner, Detroit Red Wings, Drew Doughty, Dustin Brown, Henrik Zetterberg, Hockey, Jimmy Howard, Jonathan Ericsson, Jonathan Quick, Keaton Ellerby, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Kings, NHL, Pavel Datsyuk, Rob Scuderi, Slava Voynov

Did you open up the .cap file in Wireshark and look for the handshake?
I'm trying to use a .cap generated by airodump in BT4 with cowpatty on Windows 7. The Windows cowpatty generates an error that the .cap doesn't have a full handshake but isn't more specific than that. Aircrack on BT4 finds the file to be proper. The cowpatty for Windows I found is 4.0-win32.
side question:
I'm also in the process of using genpmk to generate a hash file as well. Does anybody know if there might be a compatibility with the file it'd be generating as well? I'm doing that on both my laptop w/ BT4 and my Windows box, but the Windows box is just so much faster. I'm using the wpa.txt wordlist for the hashes. On Windows I've used coreutil's "split" to chop it into halves. That is to say, which one of these should I stop?

Hi All,
There are a few things I'd like to see on m0n0wall - as Dick has already
mentioned, a shutdown and reboot button would be nice.
As would the ability to log out of the console and have it wait for a
login - it doesn't appear secure when it is constantly sitting there on
a logged in account.
Also, some way that the user could be notified of available updates
would be nice. This way they would know if security or functionality
updates are available as and when they are released. Currently, the
users need to be subscribed to the Accounce mailing list, or happen
across an update on their occasional visit to the website.

I'm in Chicago on business - and just got freed up tonight, so my wife and I are going to the game! :woohoo:
Anyone else going?
I am - although I don't know where my seats are located quite yet.
Any chance we actually play well tonight?
I'm taking my family up to Chicago today, for a mini vacation, and was wondering where I could find some $10 tix for the game.I tried tixmaster, but no luck. I have no idea if I could even find any on the streets. Any suggestions?
Yes. Taking into account that we are .5 team there is a high probability for a win. Besides, O'Neal is taking it personly. It's interessting how everyone response.Quote:

Scalping should be in full effect... cheap tix will be available, although I'm not sure about $10. Otherwise, they have an American Express discount on ticketmaster online that'd get you $18 tix (I believe you just have to use an AmEx card and the discount kicks in).Quote:

BUT - they usually aren't the types to buy the $20 seats in the first place. It is legal to scalp (with a license) in Chicago so it doesn't hurt to drive past the arena and look for someone who is looking to unload. $10 a piece is definitely a tough order to fill -
Mushmouth (and anyone else who wants to stop by) - I'll be up in Section 316, Row 1. I'm wearing a black T with orange sleeves and a black leather jacket. I can PM my cell if anyone wants to meet up during a break. I know there won't be much time, so I understand if it doesn't happen. Could be fun though!
I'm hoping we at least pretend to get it together and put on a show... (not holding my breath though. :)
Thanks Mushmouth. I hope we get a win tonight!!Quote:

I always find ten dollar tickets.
Thanks everyone, I hope to get in, sounds like fun.
Don't forget, our Serbian and Lithuanian friends in Chicago have gobbled up the available tickets for this game.
Might not be as easy to get a cheap scalped ticket as other games.
I'm going to sit this one out - I'm afraid I'd get in a fight with someone that's upset that Saras is sitting on the bench.
Signing out - Y'all know where to find me.
GO PACERS! :suicide:
I'll be sitting behind the Pacers bench.
I'll have on a white Jack jersey from last years design.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
A man named Mohammed sits in a café in Vienna, about to propose a deal to a Colombian. Mohammed has a strong network of agents and sympathizers throughout Europe and the Middle East, and the Colombian has an equally strong drug network throughout America. What if they were to form an alliance, to combine all their assets and connections? The potential for profits would be enormous—and the potential for destruction unimaginable.
In the Brave New World of terrorism—where anybody with a spare AK-47, a knowledge of kitchen chemistry, or simply the will to die can become a player—the old rules no longer apply. No matter what new governmental organizations come into being, the only truly effective ones are those that are quick and agile, free of oversight and restrictions...and outside the system.
Way outside the system.
In a nondescript office building in suburban Maryland, the firm Hendley Associates does a profitable business in stocks, bonds, and international currencies, but its true mission is quite different: to identify and locate terrorist threats, and then deal with them, in whatever manner necessary. Established with the knowledge of President John Patrick Ryan, "the Campus" is always on the lookout for promising new talent, its recruiters scattered throughout the armed forces and government agencies—and three men are about to cross its radar.
The first is Dominic Caruso, a rookie FBI agent, barely a year out of Quantico, whose decisive actions resolve a particularly brutal kidnap/murder case. The second is Caruso's brother, Brian, a Marine captain just back from his first combat action in Afghanistan, and already a man to watch. And the third is their cousin...a young man named Jack Ryan, Jr.
Jack was raised on intrigue. As his father moved through the ranks of the CIA and then into the White House, Jack received a life course in the world and the way it operates from agents, statesmen, analysts, Secret Service men, and black ops specialists such as John Clark and Ding Chavez. He wants to put it all to work now—but when he knocks on the front door of "the Campus," he finds that nothing has prepared him for what he is about to encounter. For it is indeed a different world out there, and in here...and it is about to become far more dangerous.

The #1 New York Times bestseller...Tom Clancy is back!
After almost a decade, Tom Clancy returns to the world he knows better than anyone: a world caught in the crossfire of politics and power, placed on the edge of annihilation by evil men.
But there are those who are honor-bound to protect their homeland by any means necessary. Those men work in the covert force known as the Campus.
Led by Jack Ryan, Jr.-son of the legendary Jack Ryan-they are the best line of defense against a terrorist mastermind who has vowed to destroy the West...
Long before he was President or head of the CIA, before he fought terrorist attacks on the Super Bowl or the White House, even before a submarine named Red October made its perilous way across the Atlantic, Jack Ryan was an historian, teacher, and recent ex-Marine temporarily living in England while researching a book. A series of deadly encounters with an IRA splinter group had brought him to the attention of the CIA's Deputy Director, Vice Admiral James Greer—as well as his counterpart with the British SIS, Sir Basil Charleston—and when Greer asked him if he wanted to come aboard as a freelance analyst, Jack was quick to accept. The opportunity was irresistible, and he was sure he could fit it in with the rest of his work.
And then Jack forgot all about the rest of his work, because one of his first assignments was to help debrief a high-level Soviet defector, and the defector told an amazing tale: Top Soviet officials, including Yuri Andropov, were planning to assassinate the Pope, John Paul II.
Could it be true? As the days and weeks go by, Ryan must battle, first to try to confirm the plot, and then to prevent it, but this is a brave new world, and nothing he has done up to now has prepared him for the lethal game of cat-and-mouse that is the Soviet Union versus the United States. In the end, it will be not just the Pope's life but the stability of the Western world that is at stake. . . and it may already be too late for a novice CIA analyst to do anything about it.
"Clancy creates not only compelling characters but frighteningly topical situations and heart-stopping action," wrote The Washington Post about The Bear and the Dragon. "Among the handful of superstars, Clancy still reigns, and he is not likely to be dethroned any time soon." These words were never truer than about the remarkable pages of his breathtaking new novel. This is Clancy at his best—and there is none better.
Dominic Caruso. Nephew of President Jack Ryan. FBI agent. And operator for the top secret U.S. intelligence agency known as The Campus. Already scarred by the death of his brother, Caruso is further devastated when he is unable to save a friend and his family from a terrorist attack. Ethan Ross was a mid-level staffer for the National Security Council. Now hes a wanted fugitive on the run with a microdrive that contains enough information to destroy American intelligence efforts around the world. The CIA is desperate to get the drive back before its captured by the Russians or one of the various terrorist groups also vying for it.
Only Caruso stands in their waybut can he succeed without the aid of his Campus colleagues?
The challenge facing President Jack Ryan is an old one with a terrifying new twist. The international stalemate with North Korea continues into its seventh decade. A young, untested dictator is determined to prove his strength by breaking the deadlock. Like his father before him, he hangs his plans on the countrys nuclear ambitions. Until now, that program was impeded by a lack of resources. However, there has been a dramatic change in the nations economic fortune. A rich deposit of valuable minerals have been found in the Hermit Kingdom. Coupled with their nuclear capabilities, the money from this find will make North Korea a dangerous force on the world stage.
Theres just one more step needed to complete this perfect plan
the elimination of the president of the United States.
In the present, a new strongman has emerged in the ever-chaotic Russian republicthe enigmatic President Valeri Volodon. But the foundations of his personal empire are built on a bloody secret from his past. And none who know of it have lived to tell. For he has set a plot in motiona plot to return Russia to its former glory.
But when a family friend of Ryans is poisoned by a radioactive agent, the trail leads to Russia. And Jack Ryan Jr.aided by his compatriots John Clark and the covert warriors of the secretive Campusmust delve into an international conflict thirty years in the making, and finish what his father started.
With President Ryan fighting the political battle of his life, and his son fighting a silent war against a ruthless foe, global conflict becomes imminentand the possibility of survival may soon be lost for all
Mark Greaney has a degree in international relations and political science. He is the co-author with Tom Clancy of Locked On, Threat Vector, and Command Authority. He is the sole author of Tom Clancy Protect and Defend. He has written four books in his own Gray Man series: The Gray Man, On Target, Ballistic, and Dead Eye. In his research for these novels, he traveled to more than fifteen countries and trained alongside military and law enforcement in the use of firearms, battlefield medicine, and close-range combat tactics.

I got one of these at Otakon this year but min was the red skirted one. I also got Hinata and Natsu. Oh I learned a trick on the box it will actully tell you who your getting just look at the picture of all the characters in the set. Some times they'll have a number or a letter next to the characters picture. Then look on the box for the leter or number. It's that easy.
great graphic design. Your color selection is great.
oooh do you also have Ken Masters
Sadly, most of my figurines are Capcom Girls. SOTA's selling SF characters (from SFZero-SF3) right?
How utterly adorable; I'll have to have a little talk with some folks in the area about scoring one of thse figures.
ooohhh... me want...
sexy! I love how you added the shadow behind her! Action figures are so cool...
awesome! sakura rocks!
Kewt~nya! X3
How much is one figurine and where do you buy? I would be interested in a Natsu statuette or figurine.
Oh Natsu is available so is Hinata, Akira, Kyoko & Tiffany. But the figures will be released late March. It really depends if you're gonna buy a set or a single piece. I usually look in ebay or search for shops at google.com Japanese/Hong Kong shops are the best but if you live in the US then buy from US shops coz the shipping will be high when you buy across the globe. One piece of capsule toy usually costs $3-10 while sets are sold $20 & above. A small PVC statue may cost $26+ while a huge statue can reach up to $500

They have done amazing work to make life better for the citizens of the Black Belt, and we bestow this honor upon them to celebrate their achievements and all that is possible because of them," Burnes said.Author Mary Ward Brown was born in Hamburg, Ala., in Perry County. "Mary T" lived almost her entire life on her family farm in the rural Black Belt. A 1938 graduate of Judson College, Brown began to write at age 53 after the death of her husband. By the 1970s she was published in literary periodicals, and her first book, "Tongues of Flame," was published in 1986. She earned a Brown PEN/Hemingway Award from PEN New England and an Alabama Author Award from the Alabama Library Association (ALA), both in 1987. In 1991, she received a Lillian Smith Book Award from the Southern Regional Council, which recognizes writing that promotes a progressive understanding of racial and social inequality. In 2002, the University of Alabama Press published, "It Wasn't All Dancing." For this work, Brown received the Harper Lee Award from the Alabama Writers Forum and an Alabama Author Award from the ALA, both in 2002. In 2003, the Fellowship of Southern Writers presented her with the prestigious Hillsdale Fiction Prize. Brown's autobiography, "Fanning the Spark" was published in 2009, and tells the story of her life in the Black Belt, while touching on universal themes of marriage, motherhood, love, loss, sorrow, and the act of living.Born a slave in Missouri, George Washington Carver would achieve renown as an agricultural educator and researcher at Tuskegee Institute by focusing his research on using available and renewable resources, such as farming techniques that required little fertilization of crops, and local minerals to make paint pigments. He developed products from easily grown crops, and was especially interested in peanuts because they replenished the soil and provided a source of protein for landless farmers. To spread his ideas and techniques, Carver created an extension service that included fairs and short courses in agriculture, as well as a "movable school," which was a truck filled with materials that he took directly to the farmers in the field. In 1916, Carver joined the advisory board of the National Agricultural Society and became a fellow of Britain's Royal Society for the Arts. Sponsored by the YMCA, Carver lectured at white colleges, challenging accepted notions about segregation and the inferiority of African Americans. His work encouraged black students to pursue careers in science, andimproved the lives of thousands of poor famers, both black and white. He was instrumental in developing ecologically sound farming techniques. Carver lived his life so that he could follow God's will to be "of the greatest good for the greatest number of my people…"Born in Prairie Point, Miss., Willie Earl King lived most of his life in Old Memphis, Pickens County, Ala. King was "an outstanding musician, educator, community activist, keeper and disseminator of the rich, rural Black Belt heritage which he so loved." He began life as a sharecropper and made his first diddly bo guitar. King performed for house parties and homecomings, as well as appearing on the stages of some of the most prestigious festivals in Europe. A participant in the civil rights movement, King developed a blues style he referred to as the "struggling blues" to convey what life was like for poor African American sharecroppers in the South. In 1989, King founded the Rural Members Association (RMA) to improve and strengthen his local community by teaching "survival skills" such as woodworking, quilting, music, and farming to the next generation. The RMA also inaugurated the Freedom Creek Festival, which draws an international audience to Pickens County, Alabama. In 2000, King received the Living Blues Magazine's awards for "Best Blues Album" and "Best Contemporary Blues Album." He was voted their "Best Blues Artist" in 2001. In 2003, his album "Rooster Blues" was awarded the W.C. Handy "Traditional Blues Album of the Year" award, as well as the "Blues Song of the Year." In 2004 he was awarded an artist fellowship from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and in 2009, he was selected to receive their biennial Alabama Folk Heritage Award. He was inducted into the Howlin' Wolf Hall of Fame in 2005. King played in numerous international festivals as well. A House of Representatives' proclamation noted that although he had performed all over the world, King "finds fulfillment in helping his community."The cost for the induction ceremony dinner is $15 per plate. Please RSVP Valerie Burnes by email or at 205-652-3829. by Monday, March 12. You may also mail correspondence to the Center for the Study of the Black Belt, UWA Station 45, Livingston, AL, 35470.

Prince William & David Beckham: Save the Wildlife Studs
They're two of the most drool-worthy men in the United Kingdom and Prince William and David Beckham are teaming up to protect endangered animals.
Joined by basketball star Yao Ming, the Duke of Cambridge and Mr. Goldenballs himself filmed an ad for WildAid at Wembley Stadium in London.
Becks begins, "Imagine if all the people in the world could fit into one stadium." William continues, "Sadly, all the wild rhinos in the world can — with room to spare. For some species, it's almost too late."
Adds Mr. Ming, "But we can fill this stadium and many more if we can stop the illegal trade."
"Ask your friends and family never to buy rhino horn," pleads David as William concludes, "And together we can save our wild rhinos."

Thomas Timusk
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Office: ABB-258
Phone: (905) 525-9140 x24290
Tom Timusk did his undergraduate work at the University of Toronto and his Ph.D. at Cornell. After postdoctoral work in Frankfurt, Germany and at the University of Illinois, he joined the physics department at McMaster in 1965. He has spent research leaves at Cornell, Berkeley, University of Florida and AT&T Bell Laboratories. He has held a Sloan Fellowship and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the Royal Society of Canada and the CIFAR Quantum Materials program.. Notable honours include the Brockhouse Medal of the CAP, CAP Gold Medal for Achievement in Physics and the Frank Isakson prize of the American Physical Society.
Dr. Timusk's research centers on the use of infrared radiation in studying interesting problems in physics. He has worked on the exciton gas and electron hole fluid in semiconductors, on the far infrared radiation from the big bang as observed in high altitude balloons, and on the study of the propagation of radiation in fibers, such as goose down and fiberglass used for thermal insulation.
His recent work is in the area of exotic superconductors, organic quasi-one-dimensional crystals, heavy Fermion systems, quasi-crystals and most recently an intense effort in high temperature superconductors. It is felt by many that far infrared spectroscopy, because it probes energies that are directly relevant to superconductivity, will hold the key to the fundamental mechanism that makes these materials so unique.
Another recent interest is his discovery of flashes of light reflected from water drops undergoing capillary oscillations. This common phenomenon is related to the optics of the rainbow, a subject going back to Descartes and Newton but for some odd reason not discussed in the literature on the optics of water drops. The only reference in the scientific literature seems to be a brief report by Voltz (cited in the Applied Optics article) and a brilliant piece of original science by two German high school students, Florian Ostermeier and Henrike Wilms who noticed the flashes of light from dripping water in a cave. Theit project won a EU award in Valencia in 2007.
To see the pheomen just look for a bright spot 12 mm below any dripping tap with a bright overhead light. Or watch the movie.

Today, I thought it would be funny to sneak up behind my cat and scare it with a loud "boo!" The cat responded by jumping up, and running across my apartment, which would have been fine, except for the fact she left a trail of liquid shit everywhere she went. FML
Today, I took a call. Wrong number. A few seconds later, they called back and I told her that she had the wrong number. She said she just hit redial and didn't understand how she got me again. I tried to explain how redial works. She called me a moron and hung up. Then my phone rang again. FML

SAN ANTONIO —Manu Ginobili tweeted Wednesday he is staying with the San Antonio Spurs — the team he has helped win three NBA titles and nearly a fourth last month. "Thrilled to announce that as I always hoped, I'm gonna stay with the @Spurs for two more years," he wrote. Ginobili, who turns 36 this month, battled injuries during the season and said he would think about retirement after the playoffs. But he helped the Spurs come within 28 seconds of the championship before falling to the Miami Heat in seven games. Details of the contract agreement weren't available, but Ginobili figures to take a pay cut from the $14.1 million he made last season.
