An essential part of the research process is documenting the sources you have used. When using someone else's ideas or exact words, you must cite and document those words or ideas. Most college instructors require formal documentation of sources. At Carroll Community College, we use either the MLA (Modern Language Association) style or the APA (American Psychological Association) style of documentation. There are two key aspects of documentation - in-text citation and the Works Cited or References list.
In the body of an essay, insert an in-text or parenthetical citation when you quote or paraphrase an author's ideas. In-text citations are frequently preceded by a signal phrase. A signal phrase indicates to the reader that the idea belongs to someone else. Here are some examples of signal phrases and in-text citations in the MLA format:
Robert Frost once said, "I'd just as much assume playing tennis without a net, as writing free verse" (89).
In Sophocles' Antigone, Creon represents the state through both his actions and his words (Miller 33).
According to Lillian Schanfield, Shakespeare's places do not represent those cities or societies so much as comment on Elizabethan England (66).
In the first example, note that only the page number is included in the parenthesis after the quote because the author's name is mentioned in the signal phrase.
In the second example, the author's name appears in the parenthesis because his name was not included in a signal phrase.
The third example is a paraphrase; the signal phrase indicates the author of the source article and the page number of the journal appears in parenthesis.
Paraphrasing and quoting other's ideas and words can be tricky. It is essential, however, to avoid plagiarism by correctly citing and documenting sources.
With direct quotes, include quotation marks around the exact words used and include the correct author and page (if needed) in the parenthesis. If the original source is online, the author may be the title of the web page and a page number may be unavailable. Electronic sources vary depending on the original source used. Consult a style manual or Library style guide for examples.
Paraphrasing can be challenging. Paraphrasing correctly requires capturing the original author's ideas without repeating the exact words used. To paraphrase, use different words and sentence structure as well as your own ideas. As with direct quotes, include an in-text, parenthetical citation. Generally, the author's name and page number must be included in the parenthesis.

The second key element of documentation is the list of sources used in writing the paper. This list is called Works Cited in the MLA style and References in the APA style. The format will differ depending on the style required by the instructor.
The Works Cited or References list is alphabetical by author and includes descriptive information about all the sources used in the essay or research paper.
Every type of source used must be documented in the proper format: books, journal articles, web sites, newspaper articles, television shows, films, email, etc. Each has a specific format for documentation.
To see an example of a Works Cited page in MLA format, scroll to the end of this sample MLA research paper.
APA uses the term References to describe the list of sources used. Scroll to the end of this APA paper to see the References page.
The Library provides a number of online style guides and print style manuals which should help in developing your Works Cited or References lists. The following are examples of Works Cited / References entries for some of the commonly used resources. Developing your Works Cited or References lists is a complicated process as you can see below. Be sure to record the descriptive information for each source the first time you use the source.
Book by a single author - APA style

Documenting online, electronic sources presents some unique challenges. It may be difficult to identify the author, web page organization, or even web page title. Use the style guides on the Library's home page or ask assistance from a librarian.

The Library also provides access to an online documentation tool called NoodleBib. NoodleBib uses a series of screens to prompt you for descriptive information about the sources used during the research process. The information is used to format a list of Works Cited (MLA) or a References list (APA) into a Word document. The Word document can be added as the final page of the research paper or essay.
Access to NoodleBib is provided on the Library home page under "Citing and Evaluating Sources." First time users must register and create a personal ID. Look for the following:

How do you baste your quilts??
I usually put mine on the kitchen floor then have to crawl around pinning it. I am not as young as I used to be and it is starting to become a chore.
I watched a video yesterday where a lady puts hers on the wall and uses 505 Basting Spray. It looked so much easier and she said it works wonderfully!!
Have any of you ever tried this?
** Give Me The Simple Life **
gini:i do it the way nana does. start in the middle and smooth to the end, turn it around and smooth to the other end. most of the time i spray batt and smooth the back on, then flip and spray the batt and smooth on the top. I work in a row at a time. about 1 to 1 1/2 feet, spray it, smooth it, then move the entire quilt down and do the next twelve inches gini
I like the idea of laying down the batt first. I do mine on two large tables together. I can never seem to get the backing fabric tight enough with no tucks.This way I would be flattening the backing and seeing what's going on. I do it in half sections, too.
Gini~ when you flip the batt and back over, it stays together o.k.?
North of Boston MA
SLICK!!!! I will never pin again!
Prelude: My F&P design wall was already hanging via Command hooks.
Step 1, below: Using blue painter's tape, I added a border of newspaper around the design wall to catch any excess spray.
Step 2: I hung the backing wrong side out - it clings to the felt of the design wall, but I reinforced with tacks along the top to support the coming weight of all three layers, and then pulled taut and held it with more blue painters tape.
Step 3: I sprayed the upper third of the backing fabric with 505, and then stuck the batting to that and smoothed with my hands. Then I needed to drape the bottom 2/3 of batting over me as I continued spraying and smoothing as I worked my way down. (no problem with fumes as I was wearing a mask and had an open window and fan blowing nearby)
Step 4: Because I wanted to line up the one pieced circle on the back with the center circle on the front, I used safety pins to match those, and then smoothed the entire top to the batting to make sure all sides were lining up correctly. Then I pulled the top half down to the safety pins, sprayed the batting, and smoothed it back up. Then I took the safety pins off and repeated with the bottom half. DH came to check on me at that point.
I think it looks good, and I can't wait to start my free motion quilting. It was certainly much, much quicker than pinning. When I'm done, I'll report on the whether or not I get puckers on the back.
Thanks for sharing this idea, Cathy! I like it!
On the banks of the Mississippi River in north central Minnesota (Brainerd lakes area)
Looks great. I like the way you attached it to your wall. Great idea.
Vinton, Virginia
I'm tall, but it did still require a short step stool to reach the top. It's an 8-foot wall, so you can see that a really large quilt won't work this way.
Gorgeous quilt, too! Handsome DH checking to see if you survived! Too cute.
fantastic tutorial. You did a nice job of it and I'm betting it was much easier than crawling around on the floor. Also saves the hands from opening and closing a few bazillion safety pins.
I wish I had that much space for a design wall. *sigh*
Nana:I personally like to press both sides of mine to make sure I get all the wrinkles out
Nana, do you iron both sides after you have spray basted all layers together?
Millbury, MA
Marie:Nana, do you iron both sides after you have spray basted all layers together?
Yes I do. I like to iron it after spray basting so that all the wrinkles are pressed out. I also think the basting spray seems to hold better after I iron the quilt sandwich.
Thank you for taking the time to make this wonderful tutorial. It's good to see that a larger quilt can be done by using the wall system and that you were able to accomplish it by yourself. I think you will be amazed at how much easier it is to quilt without having to worry about removing pins everytime you turn around. I didn't have any problems with puckers doing a queen size, but I did check from time to time on the back to avoid any potential problems. Best of luck quilting your beautiful quilt and thanks again for all your effforts.
nancy great turorial and the quilt is wonderful thanks gini
gini in north idaho
Nana: I like to iron it after spray basting so that all the wrinkles are pressed out. I also think the basting spray seems to hold better after I iron the quilt sandwich.
Thanks Nana, I'll keep that in mind and give it a try.
Coupons always make me smile and the store smiles because I buy so much because of them. LOL
Nancy, Great tutorial, I don't have a wall large enough to hang most of my quilts(the shame of me making such big quilts) so I use the pool table with boards over the top of it... i lay my backing down and use clips to hold it taut... then I lay the batting on... I have found that it works much better if you spray the backing and not the batting... I smooth that out and move so all is spary basted before I put the top piece on...
I like Nana - press mine to get all the wrinkles out... then I return it to the table and clip down again and lay the top on - I fold the top back in quarters and spray the top - then carefull fold it into place... - I press each section on top of the pool table before I move to the next section...
not sure why but I think that heat helps to activate the adhesive... I do make sure it is all sprayed down though...
I normally use sullivan's spray but recently got some Taylors - will let you know how I like it once I use it... I did though get some more sullivans at JoAnn's... a friend was going to the city and picked it up for me - so all set if Taylor's doesn't work...
I have several quilts ready for spray basting and need to get them done... hoping that some day soon I will be out of this flare and have the strength to do them...
also thought about asking DH when he gets the walk - in closet done and brings my food storage in from the garage to there that maybe that wall can be made into a design wall for spray basting my quilts like you did... wonder what he will say when I start taking over his garage...eeek....
I have done a lot of spray basting. I started with quilted purses, then moved up to smaller quilts -- Schnibbles and baby quilt sized. I don't know that I'd do it for anything big.
My newest love is the fusible batting, however. No more nasty spray fumes. You do need to be very careful to make sure everything is as smooth as possible, but it really works. So far, like before, I've just done Scnibbles and baby quilts (@ 45" x 54"). I even took the back off one of the Schnibbles when I didn't like how it looked & ironed on another - the fusible stuff keeps working until it's washed. The only downside is that I think it is slightly thinner than something like Warm and Natural.
Has anyone tried the stuff that you can iron on your regular batting to piece it together instead of sewing it? Looks like it would be quite handy for all of my leftovers.
pat, if i haven't welcomed you, welcome. love your avatar. is he a good cook? i just quickly hand baste or spray baste my batt scraps together gini
Thanks, Gini. That dog looks just like our old Golden, Clancy, and the kitchen layout is remarably similar to mine. It makes me smile every time I see it. Clancy couyldn't cook worth a darn, but he looked quite handsome in an apron (grin).
If I find any of this tape & try it, I'll report. Anything to save time (and my fingers)!

10Gb/s Ethernet and 10GBase-T for the data center
7 comments post a comment
Sometimes, technology adoption is driven by the simple things like cabling and compatibility and that can be the case with the migration from 1Gb Ethernet to 10Gb Ethernet.
Sometimes, technology adoption is driven by the simple things like cabling and compatibility and that can be the case with the migration from 1Gb Ethernet (1GbE) to 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE). Before the advent of widespread 10GBase-T, most 10GbE adapters and switches support optical fiber or direct attach copper (DAC) connectivity via expensive SPFs that are not compatible with twisted pair cabling systems typically used in data centers. The result of this was using a switch to provide backwards compatibility with 1GbE. However, the next wave of 10GbE solutions are leveraging low-cost, backwards compatible 10GBase-T that is changing the cost complexity and cabling issues around the migration to 10GbE in the data center.
Analysts such as Crehan Research predict a greater acceleration of 10GbE adoption with a significant factor being emerging support for the 10GBase-T standard (based on the chart below, which indicates 10GBase-T is expected to grow exponentially). 10GBase-T enables 10GbE connections with unshielded or shielded twisted pair cables over distances up to 100 meters. This article explores how data centers can approach the migration to 10GbE using 10GBase-T adapters that are backward compatible with 1GbE and offer support for converged network environments where local area network (LAN) and storage area network (SAN) traffic move over one cable.
Data center wiring today
Today's data centers have cables covering thousands of miles with a mix of optical and twisted pair cables—optical for Fibre Channel storage networks and twisted pair for IP networks, primarily 1GbE. Optical fiber provides the high-performance bandwidth required for Fibre Channel and twisted pair is the pervasive, cost-effective solution for Ethernet connections.
10GBase-T challenges
The biggest challenges with 10GBase-T have been performance characteristics of the cable and the power required to support 10Gb bandwidth with server adapters and switch ports. Part of the solution is Cat 6 and Cat 6a cabling that has improved insulation which minimizes alien cross-talk. The other part of the solution is reduced power requirements for newer 10GbE controllers that are used for server adapters and switches. Reducing the power consumption for the controller allows more power to be used for the physical connection (PHY) that sends signals over the twisted pair cable.
With these improvements, 10GbE adapter and switch providers are introducing 10GBase-T support that is becoming widely available at low prices. This will drive the accelerated adoption of 10GbE. The next step will be next-generation rack servers that ship using 10GBase-T for the LAN on motherboard (LOM) controller that is integrated into the server. In this phase, 10GBase-T will become the default network connection.
Need for backward compatibility
A high percentage of data centers are currently using 1GbE over twisted pair cable, particularly at the server access layer. Deploying 10GbE with optical fiber or DAC connectivity was an all or nothing proposition. 10GbE switches were required at the server access layer since there was no backward compatibility with 1GbE networks. 10GBase-T solves this problem. Servers with 10GBase-T adapters will auto-negotiate to support 1GbE or 10GbE. That enables you to deploy servers today in a 1GbE environment, and then migrate to 10GbE tomorrow, thereby future-proofing your investment.

Two of the competitions going on in Seahawks training camp have apparently been settled.
John Moffitt, who was fighting J.R. Sweezy for the starting right guard job, was traded to Cleveland Monday for defensive lineman Brian Sanford, who went undrafted out of Temple in 2010. The Seahawks also waived kicker Carson Wiggs, a move that indicates Steven Hauschka having locked up the kicking job, which hardly comes as a surprise.
Moffitt, Seattle's third-round pick in 2011, was a starter as a rookie until a knee injury ended his season. He was also suspended four games that year for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs—the result of taking adderall without a prescription according to his agent—but served that suspension while on injured reserve. Last year, Sweezy and Moffitt split time in the staring lineup, but Sweezy had been ahead of Moffitt in the competition in camp.
Sanford, who is listed at 6-2, 280 pounds, has appeared in six games in his career and has been credited with five tackles, all in 2011. How Seattle will use him remains to be seen, though based on measurables alone—Sanford ran a 5.04 40-yard dash at his pro day—he does not fit the mold of an edge pass rusher, which is currently an area of concern for the Seahawks with Chris Clemons still recovering from knee surgery, Cliff Avril easing back into things from a hamstring injury, and Bruce Irvin, who is suspended for the first four games, not yet back from a groin injury.
The Seahawks also signed defensive tackle Dewayne Charrington, who signed in May with New England as an undrafted free agent out of Mississippi State.

I think at one point or another in our lives, we all like to collect something. It is human nature to want to gather and keep things that capture our fancy. Some people eventually outgrow their tendency to collect things. But some of us continue to collect things. Among us, there are some seriously dedicated collector who would pursue new addition to their collection. They keep and take care of their collection with greatest care.
I am more of what I would call a Casual Collector. I don't make very special effort to add to my collection of various things. When I come across something that I like, I would keep them whenever possible. Along the way, I found myself collecting rocks and seashells that I often just picked from the ground during my various travels. I also collect buttons, and pieces of ribbons and strings – some are bought, some are part of gift wrapping given to me. I love tins, especially small ones – usually they are containers of candies or small trinkets. I would keep them and re-use them to store small things. I also collect nuts, screws and bolts of various sizes and finishes – these often come in handy when I need some for my art projects! I collect boxes too. Yes: packaging boxes, mailing boxes, display boxes… I just love them! I am interested in their constructions and materials, but I also just love the idea of boxes as containers of things. So I collect them, and I re-use them whenever I can. Being an artist, I tend to collect junks – things that others might think as useless, but in which I see beauty and potentials. Some of these have proven to be useful in some of my artworks while admittedly, a whole lot of them are still waiting for their eventual transformation!
So… how about you? What do you collect?
Today I want to share with you some layouts done with my new Collect Kit:
That's my super cute nephew, Lance – who at 22 months already knows how to use an iPhone! I spent a lot of time with him during my Jakarta trip recently, and yeah… I collect photos of him :).

Chrysler has been showing off its expansive range of revised 2011 models over the past several months, but one — the 2011 Chrysler 300 model — remained somewhat under wraps. That no longer seems to be the case, however, as the automaker released a handful of photos detailing its new flagship.
Chrysler vowed to revamp its entire lineup with new sheetmetal and amenitable interiors or 2011, and the new 300 abides by that pledge. As previously seen in earlier spy photographs, the car's entire front clip has been redesigned to incorporate a new grille, slick projector-style headlamps with LED parking lights, and additional chrome accents. A shapelier decklid and bumper fascia help spruce up the 300′s rear, while restyled taillights are illuminated with LEDs.
Underneath the skin, the 300 will remain similar to the outgoing model, but engineers have incorporated a number of revisions. Arguably, the biggest news lies with powertrain — the 5.7-liter V-8 remains an option, but the company's new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 replaces two previous six-cylinder offerings. The sole transmission offering remains a five-speed automatic, but further down the line, the new 300 will be available with a ZF-licensed eight-speed gearbox.
Look for the 2011 300 to make its first public appearance at the 2011 Detroit auto show in early January. Early production models are expected to roll off the assembly line in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, early next year, and roll into dealer lots within the first quarter of 2011.

The death of diminutive "Diff'rent Strokes" actor Gary Coleman has been officially ruled an accident by authorities in Utah.
Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Howard said an autopsy determined the actor died of natural causes following a fall on May 26. The state medical examiner's conclusions bring the police investigation into the death to a close, Howard said.
The 42-year-old actor died at a Provo hospital two days after his fall. He was taken off life support after suffering a brain hemorrhage.
An e-mail message sent to a spokeswoman for Coleman's former wife, Shannon Price, who made the decision to remove him from life support, was not immediately returned late Wednesday.
From 1978-86, Coleman played Arnold Jackson, the younger one of a pair of African-American brothers adopted by a wealthy white man named Mr. Drummond.
His adult life was troubled. He moved to Utah in fall 2005, and according to a tally in early 2010, officers had been called to assist or intervene with Coleman more than 20 times. In one instance, Coleman called police for help after he claimed he had taken dozens of pain killers and "wanted to die."
He and Price divorced in 2008, but continued to live together. Price has petitioned the Utah courts to recognize her common law relationship with Coleman from the date of their divorce through his May 28 death. She is seeking the recognition as part of an ongoing legal battle over Coleman's estate, which includes the house in Santaquin, about 65 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Coleman's ex-girlfriend Anna Gray contends a 2005 document awards her the estate.

Back to Basics: Power Factor Correction
1 comments post a comment
As greater attention is paid to the environmental and monetary implications of growing global power consumption, power system designers must place a greater emphasis on getting it right.
The advent of the switching power supply has made it possible to deploy high-efficiency power conversion into a wide range of applications. But monetary and environmental considerations are driving changes and improvements in their design. These will ultimately reduce the cost of supplying electricity to the growing array of electronic systems used worldwide.
Most power throughout the world is generated and distributed as AC power rather than DC power. The voltage and current of linear AC systems are sinusoidal and can be described by a magnitude, phase offset, and a radial frequency.
Instantaneous power is the product of the instantaneous voltage, and instantaneous current. The resulting power waveform has twice the frequency of the voltage and current waveforms, as shown below.
While the instantaneous values have their uses, the voltage, current, and power of an AC system is often described in terms of their root-mean-square (RMS) values. The RMS voltage and current represent the DC values that would produce the same heating effect when applied to a purely resistive load. For sinusoidal signals, such as the AC voltage, the RMS value is equal to the magnitude of the sine wave divided by the square root of 2.
The power dissipated by a purely resistive load is the product of RMS voltage and current. In this special case, the voltage and current are in phase; in other words, their phase offsets are equal.
The situation becomes more complex when the load contains a reactive component (inductance and/or capacitance). The reactive component causes the voltage and current to be out of phase; phase shifts are no longer equal.
If the RMS voltage and current seen at the input of the load were the same as the case of the purely resistive load, then their product will be the same and it would be easy to assume that both loads would dissipate the same amount of power. In fact, if we look at the product of the instantaneous voltage and current of the above figures, we see that the first has a much larger phase shift than the second, meaning that it is dissipating less power.
In the case of the first figure, the load is purely reactive and dissipates no power. If, on the other hand, we were to have two devices that each required 100 watts to operate, one being purely resistive and the other being somewhat reactive, we would find that, while both devices produced the same amount of work, the reactive device would have a higher RMS input current than the purely resistive load.
It has been shown above that, unlike in DC power, in AC power the product of voltage and current into a load does not represent the work done. The product of RMS voltage and current is known as the apparent power (S, measured in volt-amperes). The apparent power is the vector sum of two components: the real or true power (P, measured in watts) and reactive power (Q, measured in volt-amperes reactive). The real power component is the component that results in work being done by the system.
For example, in a motor, only the real power produces torque. The reactive power is stored in the reactive components of the load and then returned to the source where it is dissipated by the power lines in the form of heat. It is often helpful to draw the apparent power as a vector sum of the real and reactive power, as shown below. Using this figure we can easily see that if Q increases so does S without any increase in real power.
Power factor is defined as the ratio of real power to apparent power. In the case of a purely resistive load, the power factor is 1, and apparent power equals the real power. In a purely reactive load, the power factor is 0, and the real power is 0.

BamaJam, the annual country music festival held near Enterprise, Alabama, kicked off its 2012 edition yesterday. But as AL.com reports, a strong storm that included heavy rain, hail, and high winds (which reached nearly 60 mph) caused the performances experienced a four-hour delay yesterday afternoon. The grounds were evacuated around 4:30pm, and fans were sent to wait it out in their cars and campers.
Some vendors experienced damage, and the field in front of the main stage turned to mud. Thankfully no one, the Dothan Eagle reports, was seriously hurt.
After several hours of safety checks and clean-up, word spread that the music would resume. The gates finally reopened at about 9pm, and the fans poured back in.
Eric Church took the stage at 11pm, and Thursday night headliner Tim McGraw started his set around midnight.
Some scheduled acts, however, were not able to perform, including country legend Willie Nelson, THE FARM, and christian rock band Third Day.
BamaJam continues today and Saturday (June 15 and 16), with a lineup that includes Zac Brown Band, Kid Rock, Stryper, Alan Jackson, Jamey Johnson, Uncle Kracker, and Sheryl Crow.

http://ghostbsd.org -> HELP -> FAQ:
- Code: Select all
sudo dd if=GhostBSD-3.5-amd64.img of=/dev/sdf bs=1m conv=sync
Except that I got an error:
- Code: Select all
dd: invalid number '1m'
Can someone please correct the above (homepage) GhostBSD "FAQ" wiki with one of the below corrections ?
first off, you may have to prepare you're usb flash drive, by removing any existing partitions (aka sdx1, or sdx2,...)
If you have "gparted" installed in your Linux then, from a "terminal", simply run:
sudo gparted -> Select your USB drive, (Example: /dev/sdx), then -> "Device " -> "Create Partition Table" (by default it'll create a standard mbr / MSDOS Partition Table):
Here's what does work, ( creating a bootable USB of GhostBSD, using Arch Linux):
- Code: Select all
sudo dd if=GhostBSD-3.0-i386.img of=/dev/sdx bs=1M
- Code: Select all
dd if=GhostBSD3.5-openbox-amd64.img of=/dev/sdx bs=1M conv=sync
- Code: Select all
dd if=GhostBSD3.5-openbox-amd64.img of=/dev/sdx bs=64k conv=sync
[where "x" means whatever the "sd" -devicename of your usb flashdrive is]
Note: Can someone verify if this, in fact, is the case across different Linux distro's (aka Ubumtu, Redhat, ...)?
I verified this on Arch Linux, unfortunately, as we all know, Linux distro's are not "exactly" the same, + some of their "man" pages can be quite horrible.

|Amanda Harrington
|University of Illinois at Chicago
Chicago, Illinois 60612
|Primary Employer:
|College/University; Other N/A
|Scientific Specialty:
|Clinical microbiology or immunology; Other N/A
|Job Title:
|Director, Clinical Microbiology Laboratory
|Years in position:
|Day to day responsibilities:
My day-to-day responsibilities include consulting with clinicians and answering inquiries; reviewing clinical cases; problem-solving with medical technologists and laboratory directors; administrative duties and attending meetings; evaluating new equipment and testing; staying current with the literature from our field; teaching medical students, residents, and fellows; working on research projects.
What do you love about your job?
I love my job because it is very dynamic. It's never the same day twice. We see new and interesting cases every day in the laboratory. However, microbes are not static beings. They change constantly, they don't read the textbooks, and new organisms are continually emerging. The microbiology lab is often the sentinel for new infectious agents, and I love getting to problem-solve with other clinicians in a team based approach. It's also a very exciting time to be a member of the field of clinical microbiology. From multi-organism panels that identify infectious agents in about an hour to microbiome projects, what we know about the human relationship with microbes is quickly expanding.
Degrees, experience, license(s), and skills required for position:
To be the director of a microbiology lab at an academic medical center a terminal degree (PhD or MD or equivalent) is required. In addition, a post-graduate fellowship is required, either as a 1 year microbiology fellowship after a pathology residency or a 2 year microbiology fellowship after PhD. Board certification is almost always required. In the US, certification is provided by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the American Board of Medical Microbiology (ABMM), the American Board of Bioanalysis, and others.
Tips/Advice for how to secure a job in microbiology upon graduation:
The best advice I have for someone who wants to pursue a career in microbiology is to gain some first-hand knowledge/experience of the area in which you are interested. For those interested in becoming a medical technologist or laboratory director, seek out the available training programs and talk to the trainees or directors about their experience. Laboratory directors and medical technologists are often willing to spend a few minutes talking about their lab and daily operations. Ask your local laboratory if you can come for a visit or spend a short time as a volunteer. Many hospitals have pathways set up specifically for these requests. For those interested in the research side, the best thing to do is to get involved in research as early as possible. Many investigators welcome volunteers into their labs, and those opportunities can roll over into part-time (and sometimes paid) research technician positions. Whatever you want to pursue, talk to the people in the field and get involved.

Holy Cow
Crusaders Pull Off Stunner, Win One for the Little Guy
by Bryan Engelson/CHN Correspondent
GRAND FORKS, N.D. "We want to have something to do tomorrow."
That was Holy Cross' motto heading into Friday night's West Regional at Ralph Engelstad Arena. The Crusaders may need a new one after defeating Minnesota 4-3 in one of the biggest upsets in NCAA tournament history.
Holy Cross head coach Paul Pearl already had one in his mind following the game.
"We lived another day," Pearl said. "Now, I guess, our motto will have to be that we want to practice on Tuesday."
Tyler McGregor's goal 53 seconds into overtime completed the upset. The Crusaders, who were seeded 15th out of the 16 teams that qualified for the tournament, became the lowest seed to win a tournament game since it expanded to 16 teams in 2003.
After the game, however, McGregor didn't seem as surprised at the upset as the NCAA regional tournament record 11,153 fans did.
"We weren't supposed to win the game by anyone else," the senior captain said. "In our locker room that was a different story."
The game-winning goal, McGregor's second of the game, came off a fortunate bounce. He tried to find a teammate streaking to the net after skating into the Minnesota zone. The pass hit off the skate of a Gopher defenseman and right back to McGregor, who had a wide open net because Minnesota goaltender Kellen Briggs shifted with the initial pass.
Once the lamp was lit, McGregor was immediately mobbed by his teammates.
"I saw a bunch of guys coming at me and I tried not to get killed," McGregor said. "It was great. It was a real relief."
The goal left Minnesota in a state of shock following the game. Gopher defenseman Chris Harrington struggled to talk about it.
"I have no emotion," Harrington said. "I can't even believe that happened."
Harrington, however, did find some words to say about Holy Cross goaltender Tony Quesada, who stopped 35 out of the 38 shots fired at him. Those saves included four or five huge ones in the closing minutes of the game.
"He was probably the best player on the ice tonight," Harrington said. "He seemed to get a piece of pretty much everything."
Holy Cross didn't look like much of an underdog throughout the game where the Crusaders got both the first, and last, laugh. The Crusaders didn't look like a huge underdog from the start as they outshot Minnesota 7-3 in the game's first 10 minutes.
The Gophers picked up their play in the second half of the first period, but the teams headed into the first intermission knotted at zero.
Holy Cross forward Dale Reinhardt changed that at 8:49 of the second period. Blair Bartlett dropped the puck to Reinhardt, who then beat Briggs top shelf over his glove.
"We've played pretty well with the lead all season," Pearl said.
The Gophers, however, took away that lead later on the period on a shorthanded goal by Mike Howe. Gino Guyer fired a shot off the post before Howe gathered the rebound in the left circle and scored at 13:15.
The game wasn't tied for long though. McGregor scored his 25th goal of the year 31 seconds later. James Sixsmith found McGregor perched in the left circle with a cross-ice pass for a one-timer.
"We had some nice goals," Pearl said. "We have some good players and some skilled kids who were able to get in positions to make plays."
Once again, the Crusaders didn't have the lead for long. Evan Kaufmann found freshman Phil Kessel streaking out of the penalty box for a 2-on-1 break, and Kessel finished the play with his 18th goal of the season at 15:45 of the second period.
Minnesota took its first lead of the game early in the third period. Blake Wheeler picked up the puck along the boards, passed to Alex Goligoski and Goligoski faked a defender before putting the puck past Quesada.
Pierre Napert-Frenet scored the final goal in regulation. Briggs save Sean Nappo's initial shot from the blue line, but had no idea the puck ended up right in front of him and Napert-Frenet was there to slam it home with 7:53 left in regulation.
"Anything can happen when it goes into overtime," Guyer said.
That anything on Friday was a monumental upset. It was an upset that capped off a string of late season struggles for the Gophers that seemed to come out of nowhere. Minnesota dropped its final three games of the season after looking like a juggernaut previously, going 20-1-1 in its previous 22 games.
"I think for whatever reason, the last three weeks we didn't play very well," Minnesota coach Don Lucia said. "I shouldn't say very well, but we lost the emotion."

Pirates pair of Gaby, Jones cleaning up well
By Michael Radano / Special to MLB.com
PHILADELPHIA -- It's not set in stone that Gaby Sanchez and Garrett Jones will form a platoon in the cleanup spot of the Pirates' lineup. Still, it's hard not to notice that the two have combined to hit .367 (22-for-60) with three home runs and 16 RBIs batting fourth.
"We've had some guys at the top of the order create opportunities for them; Gaby [.381 with two home runs in eight games batting fourth] has matched up well against some left-handed pitching," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "They've been able to collectively, in a small sample size, have some pretty good productivity. They are comfortable with it."
Jones, who returned to the lineup on Wednesday night against Phillies right-handed starter Roy Halladay, had played 11 games in the cleanup slot and hit .359 (14-for-39) with 16 RBIs.
Coming through with RISP work in progress for Bucs
PHILADELPHIA -- In a 2-0 win over the Phillies on Tuesday night, the Pirates had plenty of things to build on as they continue a 10-game road trip that can give them plenty of momentum heading into May.
The return of Brandon Inge from the disabled list (sore scapula) resulted in a key RBI double that played big in the win. There also was a strong outing by starter Jeff Locke, who set a personal best as he went six scoreless innings.
At the same time, a recent stretch of struggles with runners in scoring position, including 0-for-13 in the win, is hard to look past even as the Pirates have won 10 of their last 14 games.
"There were two teams in the big league games last night that won games," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said with a wry smile. "We were 0-for-13 [RISP] and the Astros were 0-for-14. That doesn't happen often. Not a way to make a living."
Clearly not, but the Pirates did do one thing well -- they got those runners into scoring position. That's the important first step.
"At home, we've managed it much better," Hurdle said. "It's something that we continually look for answers. There's two ways to look at it: 'We have to get them in or the pitcher's in trouble' and 'I need a good pitch to hit.' Sometimes the guy on the mound is that good to shut things down, but we've had more than our share of opportunities that I believe could have played out better.
"We have to keep this in perspective. You can create the wrong mindset, so it's not like were joking either, but you reaffirm, encourage and sometimes just put your foot down and compete."
No setbacks for trio of rehabbing Bucs pitchers
PHILADELPHIA -- The Pirates are eagerly awaiting the return of three pitchers to their active roster, and for the first time in a long time, all three appear close to accomplishing that goal.
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle clicked off reports of Jeff Karstens, Francisco Liriano and Charlie Morton with not one setback to report. Karstens (sore shoulder) and Liriano (fractured right forearm) were looked upon as key components of the staff before Spring Training started while Morton (Tommy John surgery) remained a bigger question, but all three look to be on schedule. Karstens and Liriano are expected to join the Major League roster in May, with Morton on track for midseason.
Morton's second rehab start, this one in Altoona, went well as he allowed one hit in four innings of work and struck out three. More to the point, the reports from those watching were positive.
"His fastball played well," Hurdle said. "He had late life to his sinker. He threw some changeups and some cutters. After the first inning, he went to work and repeated his delivery well."
Worth noting
• Russell Martin entered Wednesday night's game riding an eight-game hitting streak. In that time he has hit .444 (12-for-27) with three doubles, two home runs and three RBIs.
• The Pirates' bullpen entered Wednesday night with a 1.98 ERA, the lowest it had been after 20 games to start a season since 1990. In that season, the Pirates' bullpen had a 1.45 ERA in the same span.

Breath odor is the scent of the air you breathe out of your mouth. Unpleasant, distinctive, or offensive breath odor is commonly called bad breath.
Bad breath; Halitosis
Some disorders will produce specific, characteristic odors to the breath.
Bad breath related to poor oral hygiene is most common and caused by release of sulphur compounds by bacteria in the mouth.
A fruity odor to the breath occurs as the body attempts to get rid of excess acetone through the breathing. This is a sign of ketoacidosis, which may occur in diabetes. It is a potentially life-threatening condition.
Breath that smells like feces can occur with prolonged vomiting, especially when there is a bowel obstruction. It may also occur temporarily if a person has a tube placed through the nose or mouth to the stomach to drain the stomach contents (nasogastric tube) in place.
The breath may have an ammonia-like odor (also described as urine-like or "fishy") in people with chronic kidney failure.
Bad breath can be caused by:
Diseases that may be associated with breath odor:
Use proper dental hygiene (especially flossing), and remember that mouthwashes are not effective in treating the underlying problem.
Fresh parsley or a strong mint are often effective ways to fight temporary bad breath. Avoid smoking. Otherwise, follow prescribed therapy to treat the underlying cause.
Your doctor will take a medical history and perform a physical examination.
You may be asked the following medical history questions:
The physical examination will include a thorough examination of the mouth and the nose. A throat culture may be taken if you have a sore throat or mouth sores.
In rare cases, diagnostic tests that may be performed include:
Antibiotics may be prescribed for some conditions. For an object in the nose, the doctor will use an instrument to remove it.

You Can Now Buy Into an Islamic Stock Index
Looking for a way to experience the pleasures of buying and selling stocks, while also remaining compliant with Islamic law? Look no further than the Bombay Stock Exchange, which just opened an index composed solely of Shariah-compliant stocks.
The BSE TASIS Shariah 50 index, formed in a collaboration between the Bombay Stock Exchange and Taqwaa Advisory and Shariah Investment Solutions, consists of the "50 largest and most liquid Shariah-compliant stocks within the BSE 500 Index." What does it mean to be Shariah-compliant? According to The Wall Street Journal:
Islamic law doesn't permit Muslims to invest in companies that derive significant benefits from interest, since usury is considered sinful in the Islamic faith, or from the sale of goods and services that are deemed sinful within the Islamic faith, like alcohol, tobacco and weapons.
The index can be used for the construction of Shariah-compliant financial products, such as mutual funds.
Ah, yes, financial products. Of course! What better way to take down the fearsome Muslim menace than with the very same things that broke our economy in 2008?

Capstone, which had wished to acquire a permit to dispose at a well in Center Valley, was initially denied its saltwater disposal well permit in October 2009 by the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission (AOGC) after the commission heard several complaints regarding Capstone's history in other counties and states, particularly from Johnson County.
Capstone was awarded a permit in March 2010 before having its permit revoked and well shut down in May of this year.
Per the agreement, if any gas company, Capstone included, purchases the well and acquires a permit to dispose at the location in Center Valley, Pope County will not file a suit against the company in an attempt to keep it from using the well. In return, the company agrees to pay $6,000 every year through the Pope County Quorum Court to be payable to the PTO of the Center Valley School, due Nov. 1 of each year the disposal well is in operation.
In addition to the $6,000, the company agreed its "operation shall only be in the daylight hours and no trucks, equipment, etc., shall be operational on Sundays."
"I'm not necessarily 100 percent pleased with this agreement," said Dusty Hampton, a Justice of the Peace for the district in which Capstone installed its disposal well who led opposition against the company. "I like the idea of them not operating the trucks at night and not on Sundays, and I like the idea of our community having some investment put into it, so there is a little bit of benefit of them being there."
The request for the $6,000 to be transported to the Center Valley school was met with opposition from some of the Justices, who argued the money should be spread throughout the county as county taxdollars funded legal fees throughout the case against Capstone.
"I could support it if it weren't for the $6,000 going to the Center Valley school every year," Justice Philip Haney said. "I feel like that should be spread around. This is a culmination of all tax dollars of all the citizens in this county. I know that well is in this community, but everyone's tax dollars have gone toward supporting the case against this."
Hampton, who's spent the last two years fighting Capstone and whose term expires at the end of the year, argued because the well is in the Center Valley community, the benefit of the well should be seen by its nearby residents.
"I think that this type of facility is a facility that our community will have to live with," he said. "It's where it's at, and it's an agreement to where this company is investing in that community to bring something positive."
Hampton said that approval of the ordinance doesn't mean the company will be awarded the permit. Hampton added because of the timeliness of the agreement due to Capstone's pursuit of a permit, the agreement would likely be unavailable at next month's meeting. He also said that he agreed to the settlement because of his expiring term and because he didn't want the rest of the court to have to continue to the settlement.
The ordinance, read three times Thursday, passed unanimously. In other business, the Pope County Quorum Court approved:
• An ordinance appropriating a FEMA port security grant in the sum of $1,098,958 plus interest to be returned to its issuer.
• An ordinance appropriating $71,633.93 from the general fund to be put toward an expansion of the Pope County Senior Center.
• An ordinance appropriating $15,465 from various grant funds to the Pope County Sheriff's Office and the Pope County Library for equipment.
• An ordinance appropriating $3,714.33, including a $2,500 donation, to the Pope County Sheriff's Office for small equipment and parts and repairs.
• An ordinance appropriating $1,627.50 from the general fund to the county clerk for website support.
• An ordinance appropriating $620 from the burn ban fines fund to miscellaneous law enforcement, to go to the Pope County Firefighter's Association.
• An ordinance transfering the following: $1,500 and a $500 from other professional services in the election commission to social security and retirement matching, respectively; $4,000 from Circuit Judge William Pearson's Automation Fund's machinery and equipment fund to the small equipment fund; and $1,627.50 from the treasurer's Automation Fund's machineray and equipment fund to the website support fund.
• An ordinance rescheduling the Pope County Quorum Court Budget Committee and regular court meeting from Dec. 2 and 6 to 5 p.m. on Dec. 11.
• A resolution declaring a vacancy in JP District 2 after former Justice Tom McMillen stepped down from his position and relocated out of state.

I hate the way Melo keeps gettin sh*tted on and questioned. He was trying to get his teammates involved more this year then ever before. Hes a good passer but hes not a point guard, he was asked to play the role of both point guard and small forward.
Scust at how they stay on Melo's meat like ice in the freezer
Man....F****-Breen....anything he say is all bullshiit....in the 2nd quarter Breen
put Ariza on the championship Celtics in 2009.
Ariza got a Lakers ring in 2009.
I know the winning streak can't last forever but if it ends at home against the hornets then then it's almost as if it never happened in the first place. All they need to do is wake up and pick up the intensity. Utilise Stoudamire and Chandler in the paint. The hornets have no-one capable of guarding them.
Bill Ptdito or whatever his name is just totally lied about what Lebron said about CLE. Lol. He announced that Lebron would consider going back once his contract ends. Lies. He never said anything about when his contract ends. He said someday. Sorry but I just hate inaccurate reporting.
Real Talk

Jays pitchers throw to hitters for first time in camp
By Gregor Chisholm / MLB.com
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays held their first official day of full team workouts on Friday in what can be considered a sign that the regular season is just around the corner.
Toronto put all of its players through a full morning of workouts with a schedule that was concluded with live batting practice. It was the first opportunity for pitchers to throw with hitters in the batter's box after spending the past week working exclusively in side sessions.
R.A. Dickey, Brandon Morrow, Esmil Rogers, Dustin McGowan, Drew Hutchison and Kyle Drabek were among those who got some work in with another group scheduled to throw on Saturday.
"To be honest, they all look really good," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "I saw Dickey, I was primarily over there to watch [Erik] Kratz catch him and he looked really good. Better than he has been in the bullpen with him.
"I was limited in the number of guys I saw but it goes back to the day we started, they seem locked in. We have some pretty good arms down there but until we start playing games it's really tough to tell."
The Blue Jays are set to open their Grapefruit League season on Wednesday with a game against the Phillies. Toronto has yet to announce its pitching schedule for the upcoming exhibition games but that news is expected to be released either Saturday or Sunday.
Blue Jays claim Hendriks for pitching depth
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays added some more organizational depth to their pitching staff by claiming right-hander Liam Hendriks off waivers from the Orioles on Friday afternoon.
Hendriks, 25, spent last season with the Twins and posted a 1-3 record with a 6.85 ERA in 10 appearances, including eight starts. He owns a career 2-13 record with a 6.06 ERA over three seasons in the big leagues.
Hendriks likely won't contend for a spot on the 25-man roster, considering the Blue Jays already have tough decisions to make with their starting rotation and bullpen. The more realistic scenario would see Hendriks open the year with Triple-A Buffalo.
The native of Australia has one Minor League option remaining on his contract. He was designated for assignment by Minnesota during the offseason and suffered a similar fate earlier this week when the Orioles officially signed right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez to a four-year contract.
To make room on the 40-man roster for Hendriks, the Blue Jays designated infielder Brent Morel for assignment. The move comes as somewhat of a surprise, considering Morel was mentioned as a possible candidate to compete for the final spot on Toronto's bench.
Morel was a bit of a long shot for that role, but he has the ability to play third base and was going to see some time at second this spring. Morel spent most of last season with Triple-A Charlotte of the White Sox organization, and he hit .266 with 39 extra-base hits and a .751 OPS.
The 26-year-old has appeared in 194 Major League games over four seasons, recording 13 home runs and 54 RBIs. Morel could remain with the Blue Jays organization, but he must first clear waivers.
Outfielder Moises Sierra, who is out of options, remains the early favorite for the final spot on the bench. The club's decision later this spring, though, will hinge on whether it carries seven or eight relievers to start the regular season.
Worth noting
• Right-hander John Stilson suffered a minor hamstring injury during Thurday's workout and he was held out of action the following day. It's not immediately clear when Stilson will be able to return but it doesn't appear as though it's going to be a major concern. Stilson, who is ranked as the club's No. 6 prospect by MLB.com, is expected to start the season with Triple-A Buffalo.

When harvesting row crops, there comes a time when opening fields that it's often convenient or necessary to harvest across the endrows. This puts tremendous stress on harvesting heads, especially soybean platforms.
Cutting perpendicular to the rows forces the sickle to go from "no load" between rows to total load across the full length of the cutterbar in a split second. On a 24-row headland, the sickle has to absorb that shock load 24 times in only 10 or 15 seconds. A soybean platform in good mechanical condition will probably handle the abuse without damage, but a platform with a worn sickle or drive could fail under the rapid changes in load. Typical consequence is a broken sickle or snapped drive belt halfway across the headland--or halfway down the headland or into the field as damage that began on the headland finally reached critical mass a few acres later.
Corn heads are a little tougher than cutterbar systems, but the shock load of 8 rows of Bt-corn stalks supporting 180 bu./ac. corn has been known to cause aged or worn corn heads to shear gears or make slip clutches rattle.
To avoid shock loading harvesting equipment when harvesting "across" rows, turn the combine slightly or drive in a slight curve so that each row doesn't encounter the cutterbar or gathering components all at once.

Robbie Keane's hopes of qualifying for the World Cup were dealt a major blow on Friday as Ireland fell 2-1 to Sweden despite the LA Galaxy captain scoring his 60th international goal.
Keane put Ireland up 1-0 after 22nd minutes after the Irish captain was able to make an industrious run toward goal that ended with a calm finish from close range. However, the lead did not last long as 11 minutes later, Johan Elmander equalized off a header. In the 57th minute, the Swedes pulled ahead for good when A Zlatan Ibrahimović pass found Anders Svensson, who fired a shot past Irish goalkeeper David Forde.
Ireland now sits in fourth place in UEFA's Group C with 11 points tied with third place Austria, who are head on goal difference. Sweden is in sole possession of second place with 14 points while Germany is head and shoulders above the rest with 19 points.
For the Irish to have any hope of qualifying for Brazil, a win is mandatory in their next qualifier against Austria on Sept. 10. Anything less than three points and the Irish may be in dire straits with matches on the road against Germany and at home to Kazakhstan looming in October.
