Nos After 65 years in Ann Arbor, Drake's Sandwich Shop on North University Avenue closed unex- pectedly. Owner Truman Tibbals had recently been diagnosed with cancer and his children made the decision to close the shop. Drake's was known for its archaic interior and famously named sandwiches the "Michi- gan," "Purdue," and "Northwest- ern," among others. TEN YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (NOV. 17,2003): The University received a fed- eral grant of $421,589 to conduct virtual reality simulations to train first responders in emergen- cy medical situations. The money from the Centers for Disease Control and Preven- tion went to the University's Vir- tual Reality CAVE to fund the disaster simulation program. "People who are very profes- sional, well-trained through lectures, low-level drills - like disaster drills where people will have pinned on them, 'my leg is broken,' - and other regular training exercises may not per- form optimally when they are actually immersed in the chaos of a real-life disaster," said James Woolliscoft, then executive asso- ciate dean of the Medical School. - WILL GREENBERG Newsroom 734-418-411s opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaiy.com sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales dailydisplay@gmaitcom Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michiandaily.com Letterstothe Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@'nichigandaily.com Spans~etins Photography Sectin photo michigandailycom Classified Sales classified@michigandaiy.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com 0 PATRICK BARRON/Daily Engineering graduate student Harvey Elliot, a mem- ber of the Michigan Cycling Club, competes in a race at Veterans Park Sunday.

Bochud and Patrice Mangin, director of the Lausanne Uni- versity Hospital's forensics cen- ter, said they tested and ruled out innocent explanations, such as accidental poisoning. "I think we can eliminate this possibility because, as you can imagine, you cannot find poloni- um everywhere. It's a very rare toxic substance," Mangin told The Associated Press. Palestinian officials, includ- ing Arafat's successor, Pales- tinian President Mahmoud Abbas, had no comment on the substance of the report but promised a continued investi- gation. The findings are certain to revive Palestinian allegations against Israel, a nuclear power. Polonium can be a byproduct of the chemical processing of ura- nium, but usually is made arti- ficially in a nuclear reactor or a particle accelerator. Arafat's widow, Suha, called on the Palestinian leadership to seek justice for her hus- band, saying, "It's clear this is a crime." Speaking by phone from the Qatari capital Doha, she did not mention Israel but argued that only countries with nuclear capabilities have access to polo- nium. In another interview later Thursday, she described her husband's death as a "political assassination" and "the crime of the century" and called the new testing conclusive for poisoning. She said she couldn't predict who was behind the death, but she added, "Whoever did this crime is a coward." Israel has repeatedly denied a role in Arafat's death and did so again Thursday. Paul Hirschson, a Foreign Ministry official, dismissed the claim as "hogwash." AP PHOTO/AARON FAVILA Residents walk beside a large ship that was washed ashore by strong waves caused by Typhoon Haiyan in Tacloban city, Leyte province central Philippines on Sunday Typhoonz survvors struggle for aid in the Philippines Death toll estimated at 10,000 in worst storm in country's history TACLOBAN, Philippines (AP) - Rescuers faced blocked roads and damaged airports on Monday as they raced to deliver desperately needed tents, food and medicines to the typhoon- devastated eastern Philippines where thousands are believed dead. Three days after the Typhoon Haiyan ravaged the region, the full scale of the disaster - the biggest faced by the Philip- pines - was only now becoming apparent. The winds and the sea waves whipped up were so strong that they washed hulking ships inland, which now stood incongruously amid debris of buildings, trees, road signs and people's belongings. Authorities estimated that up to 10,000 people may have died. But the government, stunned by w the scale of the disaster, has not given an official death toll yet. Still, officials said after survey- ing the areas there is little doubt that the death toll will be that high, or even higher. In Tacloban city, the capital of Leyte province, corpses hung from trees and were scattered on sidewalks. Many were bur- ied in flattened buildings. The entire city appeared to have been obliterated. From the air the landscape resembled a giant garbage dump punctuated by a few concrete buildings that still stood. Survivors wandered through the remains of their flattened wooden homes looking to sal- vage belongings or to search for loved ones. Very little assistance had reached the city, residents reported. Some took food, water and consumer goods from aban- doned shops, malls and homes. "This area has been totally ravaged", said Sebastien Sujob- ert, head of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Tacloban. "Many lives were lost, a huge number of people are missing, and basic services such as drinking water and electricity have been cut off," he said. He said both the Philippine Red Cross and the ICRC offices in Tacloban had been damaged, forcing staff to relocate tempo- rarily. Haiyan hit the eastern sea- board of the Philippines on Fri- day and quickly barreled across its central islands, packing winds of 235 kph (147 mph) that gusted to 275 kph (170 mph), and a storm surge of 6 meters (20 feet). Even though authorities had evacuated some 800,000 people ahead of the typhoon, the death toll was so high because many evacuation centers - brick-and- mortar schools, churches and government buildings - could not withstand the winds and water surges. Officials said peo- ple who had huddled in these buildings drowned or were swept away. It inflicted serious damage to at least six islands in the middle of the eastern seaboard, with Leyte, Samar and the northern part of Cebu appearing to bear the brunt of the storm. About 4
