First of all. Demonoid is back up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Second of all, check out Papers. Basically like an itunes for pdfs (but better because you can search IN the documents) AND if you log in via your libraries proxy you can browse journals and download their pdfs WAY easier. There are a couple versions up on Demonoid if you want to check it out. I am still testing it out.

Quoted: Papers - your personal library of research. Our award-winning application that helps scientists and researchers on the Mac to manage their research articles. Available for Mac OS X and iPhone.

Wow Border security is already tightening up around the Vancouver olympics.

Quoted: A U.S. journalist was grilled by Canadian border officials for 90 minutes Wednesday. Officials demanded to know if Democracy Now's Amy Goodman was going to speak against hosting the Olympic games in Canada.CBC has more details here. Goodman said that she and her crew were flagged right off the bat, and that they demanded her notes. She said they sifted through their vehicle and perused one of her colleague's computer. Goodman said that it has a very chilling effect when you're a journalist and you're asked about what you're going to talk about. Story continues below... How many people does this happen to that we don't know about? Goodman asked, adding that dissent is what will save us. CanWest News Service adds: A spokeswoman with the Canada Border Services Agency said anyone entering Canada may be stopped at the border for questioning. Faith St. John would not comment on Goodman's case specifically, citing privacy concerns, but said there are many reasons that a person may be detained while coming into Canada. ``It's not an accusation of a wrongdoing,'' she said.
