BELLEVUE, Wash. - (Mar. 24) Seattle University baseball held a 3-1 lead through four innings in its Western Athletic Conference opener against Chicago State Friday. But the Cougars will rally for three unanswered runs, including two in the top of the ninth, sending the Redhawks to a 4-3 setback at Bannerwood Park.
Jake Prizina pitched 5.2 quality innings in his sixth start of the season. The sophomore fanned six, walked two and allowed five hits for two runs. After giving up a run on two hits in the opening frame, Prizina settled in to get three straight outs in the second. He opened the third with a walk and committed a fielding error on a sacrifice bunt, but worked his way out of a jam by inducing a foul out and line out to end the inning.
The Redhawk offense, meanwhile, slowly built a 3-1 advantage. A bases loaded walk by Dalton Hurd evened the score in the second. Aaron Stroosma launched a solo home run over the left field fence in the third, and Jack Reisinger singled in Austin Lively in the fourth. Lively reached on a walk and stole second to put himself in scoring position.
Prizina surrendered a solo home run to Matt Paciello to open the sixth, making it a 3-2 ball game. With two outs and runners on first and second, Austin Hansen entered in relief. The rookie gave up a single to load the bases for Chicago State, but he got the next batter to ground out to first, ending the rally.
Hansen hit Joe Baier to open the top of the ninth, but the leadoff would be out at second on a fielder's choice bunt on the next at bat. The Cougar's Zach Thomas singled through the left side to put runners on first and second for Jacob Vanitvelt whose single to right sent the game-tying run home.
With Cougar runners on first and third, Zach Wolf came on for the Redhawks. But in an attempted pick-off attempt by SU, Sean Sutton's throw to catch the runner going to second went errant and Thomas went racing home from third for the game-winning run.
Reisinger had a pair of hits and an RBI for the Redhawks who finished with just five hits. Hansen was tagged for the loss for SU (7-14, 0-1 WAC)
Thomas earned the win for CSU (5-13, 1-0 WAC) in two innings of relief. Starter Jake Perkins fanned seven, walked five and gave up five hits for three runs in seven innings.
Due to expected inclement weather on Sunday, the Redhawks and Cougars will continue play with a doubleheader Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m. at Bannerwood Park.

For a fantastic family day out visit Dorset's famous Jurassic Coast. Acknowledged for its UNESCO status, and dating back over 185 million years, this 95 mile stretch of coastline is a hot spot for fossil hunting, famous for the hundreds of different specimens that have been discovered here and a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike.
Dorset and East Devon's World Heritage Site, as the area is properly known, stretches from Orcombe Point in Exmouth round to the Old Harry Rocks at Studland Bay – so there are plenty of beaches, coves and rock formations to chose from. This was England's first natural UNESCO World Heritage Site and, according to Visit Dorset, sits alongside the Great Barrier Reef as one of the top wonders of the natural world...
The coastline is rich in prehistoric remains. Erosion breaks down the different varieties of rock at different speeds and exposes the underlying layers of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous rock. Lyme Regis is one of the more noted areas for fossil hunting as the cliffs often crumble to reveal the ancient remains below. It is here where the famous fossil collector and palaeontologist Mary Anning (1799 - 1847) searched and made a name for herself with her finds. Guided walks and fossil hunts are offered up and down this stretch of beach where you can discover the history and evolution of fish, dinosaurs and mammals.
The area is a favourite with walkers and nature lovers; exciting walks are to be had all year round and the stunning scenery has become iconic and instantly recognisable. Here you will find Durdle Door, a limestone arch near Lulworth; Lulworth Cove, an incredible horse-shoe bay; and the Old Harry Rocks, three tall chalk stacks standing out at sea off Handfast Point. All of these sites are a direct result of the erosion that affects the different bands of coastal rock. And as you walk you will come across many beautiful examples of this process.
Discover the incredible scenery for yourself. Dorset has thousands of walks, footpaths, waymarked trails and bridleways to explore. There are many well-signed routes so you can wander by yourself and set your own pace or, alternatively, take part in a guided walk – there are many to find online. The South West Coast Path is the longest National Trail in the UK and runs right along the Jurassic Coast. If walks and scenery are what you're looking for, this is the place for you.
Lower Knapp Farm is perfectly located to explore this stunning area and the walks that criss-cross the landscape. Stay here for yourself and really get to know the area. Follow the link below.

Yes this could be confusing, especially adding db-roles to system-roles. Maybe it's clearer to think of it as "groups" and "rights": * "groups" are what your user is a member of (in your global _session). * "rights" are what you can do in a particular database. * "rights" within a db can be assigned to individual users or to groups. * The "_admin" group picks up "_admin" rights automatically on all dbs.

The other night I was cleaning my room, which is a task I've been avoiding since 1989, and came across a box of art supplies I totally forgot I had. So obviously, I was easily distracted by my new discovery (because I have the attention span of a peanut some days), and decided to update my boring old Ikea Jokkmokk table, that very night!Since I painted the dining room wall that beautiful raspberry colour, and added the dark pantry cabinet, I've been a little unhappy with the dining table. The natural pine colour just wasn't cutting it. I've been pretty set on painting a faux marble top in white and staining the legs dark brown for the last few months, and I've even been practising my marbling techniques, but something clicked the other night and I went in a whole other direction.
This project was basically inspired by this elephant motif stencil I found in my mystery art box, plus these shelves from World Market that I was crushing on months ago, and my recent visit to Jaipur. Before going to Jaipur I would have been pretty apprehensive about putting so many colours into one space – the raspberry wall, my weird blue floor, plus a blue & brown table with fuchsia, gold, and lime green accents; just hearing that sounds like chaos! But it turned out to be beautiful chaos.
Unfortunately, I was hit by a bolt of inspiration and energy that night and didn't have anyone around to take pictures, and I had zero desire to try and take photos while staining or stencilling, so I'll just walk you through the process and give you a source list for my colours.
I started by sanding the entire table with a medium grit sandpaper (you'll want to do this outside, because it's dusty) and then cleaning it really well. I used a dark espresso stain, and in hindsight I feel I was too heavy handed with my first coat. The right way to do it is to apply thin layers and let each layer dry, but I was impatient. I used a foam brush and rag to spread the varnish out, and it took about 30 hours for it to dry really well.
For the legs and elephant motif I used a variety of acrylic paints – which by the way everyone at Home Depot told me not to do! (They were super helpful in explaining how to sand and use the varnish though – I'm a total novice to varnish projects). The thing with acrylic paint is you can't wipe it down and it chips easily, however, I'm going to seal it with an acrylic sealer this weekend which I've used on loads of projects over the years, and I'm confident it will be okay. I'll also be sealing the top with a clear varnish after it has cured for a full week.
I seriously could not be happier with how this table turned out! In fact, the entire kitchen is coming together so nicely and I love opening my front door and seeing this table and the my gallery wall – it feels like my home. Now I just have to decide what to do with the chairs. Right now I'm debating staining them to match the top, or possibly painting the backs bars to co-ordinate with the elephants. I'll keep you posted on that!

ATHENS - There's good news for Georgia's men's basektball team, which has yet another important non-conference game this Sunday.
Kenny Gaines is expected to play, his sprained shoulder healed enough to return to practice on Thursday. Gaines, the team's starting shooting guard, suffered the injury in the team's most recent game, Dec. 7 against Colorado.
But the two week break came at a good time, giving Gaines a chance to heal up.
"I would say I think he will play," head coach Mark Fox said. "We were able to get him partially back in practice. But it's been a slow recovery. He couldn't shoot a ball for nine days. It's been a more significant injury than we thought. But he was able to return some to practice (Thursday), and keep his fingers crossed that he's responded well. So I think by Sunday he should be able to play."
Gaines injured the shoulder while diving for a loose ball late in the win over Colorado. He was diagnosed right away with a sprain, then the team sent him back for another MRI two days later, which confirmed the initial diagnosis.
Although the injury is to Gaines' right shoulder, and he's right-handed, Fox said the injury itself isn't as much of an issue as the practice time that Gaines missed, and the effect on his conditioning.
"The range of motion is back, so the actual angles of shooting the ball, that would all be fine," Fox said.
Gaines is the team's third-leading scorer this season, at 11.3 points per game, but he was slowed at the start of the season by the lingering effects of mononucleosis. Gaines was Georgia's second-leading scorer last year.

More Hummus Please; But Fewer Burned & Maimed Bodies
"Arabic programming was a cute detail, the volume was intrusively loud and the graphic images of burned and maimed bodies on the Arabic news channel were highly uncalled for." – Jay Hallen
…Mr. Hallen, a private-sector development officer for the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority, was given the job immediately after arriving in Baghdad in September.
Mr. Hallen admits that he wound up in Iraq rather by accident. In 2002, he began pursuing a White House job, and though none materialized, he stayed in close contact with the man who interviewed him, Reuben Jeffrey. When Mr. Jeffrey went to Iraq last summer as a senior economic-development adviser, Mr. Hallen e-mailed to ask whether there were any job openings… A few weeks later, Mr. Hallen got a phone call from a Pentagon personnel officer, who told him he had been given a job in the Coalition Provisional Authority and needed to be in Baghdad in less than a month. "Needless to say, I was in a mild state of shock," he says.
Mr. Hallen, who graduated in 2001, has spent the past few months in a crash course in high finance.
Mr. Hallen's most difficult task has been winning and keeping the confidence of Iraqi investors and traders alarmed by his youth and lack of experience in the financial sector. It hasn't been easy.
In early November, Mr. Hallen traveled to Baghdad's Hamra Hotel for a lunch meeting with Luay Nafa Elias, who runs an investment company here. Mr. Elias says he was expecting to meet a middle-age man and therefore was astonished to see the baby-face Mr. Hallen sit down at the table and order a plate of kabobs. "I had thought the Americans would send someone who was at least 50 years old, someone with gray hair," says Mr. Elias.
As the lunch continued, Mr. Elias found himself impressed by Mr. Hallen's confident tone and his repeated promises to quickly open a stock market that is the envy of the Arab world.
Mr. Elias's faith in Mr. Hallen, however, began to evaporate when the market's opening was delayed without explanation, first to the middle of this month and then into February. "Maybe someone older and more experienced could have gotten this done on time," Mr. Elias says.
The Lorax starts in an imaginary world full of colorful, nonsensical creatures and Truffula Trees, where everything and everyone is happy. The Once-ler (Jay Hallen, SM '01) presides over this little utopia, all the while dancing with trees and singing the praises of his green pet cat and miffmoffermoof suit. One day, the Once-ler stumbles upon the realization that the Truffula Trees sprinkled throughout the countryside can be used to create a wonderfully versatile product known simply as Thneed. The Once-ler induces a Thneed fad--similar to the polyester craze of the '70s--in which he encourages everyone to run out and get some of his fabulous new product. As demand increases and the Once-ler becomes greedier, more and more Truffula Trees are chopped down to aid his quest to "bigger" his business. The countryside becomes dead and polluted, and--here comes the moral of the story--harmony is lost.
…With a big cheesy grin spread across his face and eyebrows so highly arched they look like they're about to jump off of his head, Hallen stands out with his portrayal of the greedy Once-ler. His remarkably pliable, green-painted face creates a sympathetic villain,teaching the audience that the concepts of absolute good and absolute evil are often far too simple for the complexities of the real world.
The first shock came the moment we stepped into the restaurant, when our eyes were assaulted by bright fluorescent lighting that created a dining atmosphere about as inviting as a Rite-Aid. While the 36" TV playing Arabic programming was a cute detail, the volume was intrusively loud and the graphic images of burned and maimed bodies on the Arabic news channel were highly uncalled for

Is Bush a Moron, Episode 10: Bush Likes Ribs
It's been a while and there have been a number of events that I've neglected to cover since the last episode of IBAM. So today's posting is a compilation of recent Bushisms that goes back a ways. It covers the period roughly from the time of his Thanksgiving Day visit to Iraq, up to the most recent event, a brief interaction with the press pool in Roswell, New Mexico. Also included are the results from the last Democratic debate, held last week prior to the New Hampshire Primary.
Roswell, 11/22/04: There are no major mistakes, but it's a very short exchange. I reproduce this exchange in it's entirety because it seems so weird and funny. Maybe it's just me, but the man seems to have an uncommon obsession with ribs (see also here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here. At this photo op, Bush personally bought $42.95 worth of food to go, and left no tip. Read it for yourself (Bush at the "Nothin' Fancy Café" in Roswell, New Mexico, 1/22/04):
THE PRESIDENT: I need some ribs.
Q Mr. President, how are you?
THE PRESIDENT: I'm hungry and I'm going to order some ribs.
Q What would you like?
THE PRESIDENT: Whatever you think I'd like.
Q Sir, on homeland security, critics would say you simply haven't spent enough to keep the country secure.
THE PRESIDENT: My job is to secure the homeland and that's exactly what we're going to do. But I'm here to take somebody's order. That would be you, Stretch -- what would you like? Put some of your high-priced money right here to try to help the local economy. You get paid a lot of money, you ought to be buying some food here. It's part of how the economy grows. You've got plenty of money in your pocket, and when you spend it, it drives the economy forward. So what would you like to eat?
Q Right behind you, whatever you order.
THE PRESIDENT: I'm ordering ribs. David, do you need a rib?
Q But Mr. President --
THE PRESIDENT: Stretch, thank you, this is not a press conference. This is my chance to help this lady put some money in her pocket. Let me explain how the economy works. When you spend money to buy food it helps this lady's business. It makes it more likely somebody is going to find work. So instead of asking questions, answer mine: are you going to buy some food?
Q Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay, good. What would you like?
Q Ribs.
THE PRESIDENT: Ribs? Good. Let's order up some ribs.
Q What do you think of the democratic field, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: See, his job is to ask questions, he thinks my job is to answer every question he asks. I'm here to help this restaurant by buying some food. Terry, would you like something?
Q An answer.
Q Can we buy some questions?
THE PRESIDENT: Obviously these people -- they make a lot of money and they're not going to spend much. I'm not saying they're overpaid, they're just not spending any money.
Q Do you think it's all going to come down to national security, sir, this election?
THE PRESIDENT: One of the things David does, he asks a lot of questions, and they're good, generally.
And I think when people begin to realize that, when people begin -- that were, I would call them fence-sitters, when people begin to realize that the Saddam regime is gone forever, and that the new society that will emerge will be a fair society, it will protect people, and protect people from the -- protect them based upon their own religious views, for example, guarantee them rights -- is what I mean by "protect," that it's more likely people will begin to sign on to the future of Iraq.

To answer your question, we're -- the Defense Department will try to learn more from Saddam Hussein as time goes on. [broken/mangled sentence]
And that's -- I do believe that there are going to be some people who are persuaded that since Saddam Hussein has been captured, that he will never return, and therefore, they need to be a part of the emergence of a free Iraq and a free society, and that there -- and it's going to be very important for the Iraqi authorities to reach out to those people and talk about a system that guarantees minority rights, and a system which says that for some the future is bright. [broken/mangled sentence]
He's going to come back up and brief Condi and me in a little bit of time. [Condi and I? Condi and myself?]
And as well, it's very important for them to listen to those voices in their country who are demanding freedom. [who vs that; "listen to those voices in their country that are demanding freedom"]

So that's one of my resolutions, which may require eating less desserts, kind of getting a little trimmer, to take the pressure off the knee. ["less dessert" or "fewer desserts"]

Latest News on Austin PP Boycott
I've been deliberately trying to steer away from this issue because, frankly, the less that I have to do with some of the nitwits involved in this boycott the better. But I came across a couple of items today on the Houston Coalition for Life message board that are worth mentioning.
First, it seems that some limited construction has started once again on the new PP clinic. According to a post from Chris Danze, a portable building has been set up on the construction site, and several work trucks were on site Tuesday (none with logos, names or markings). Work appeared to be focused on underground electric. Second, the boycotters also asked for boycott supporters to call and put pressure on Ramon Carrasquillo, the owner of Rainbow Concrete Supply Company in Austin. According to the letter Danze wrote,
Rainbow Concrete Company until now has refused to supply concrete to the project. But now Mr. Carrasquillo is under TREMENDOUS pressure to give in and provide the concrete. The forces of darkness are bearing down with all their might to crush Mr. Carrasquillo and his company if he does not supply the concrete. The pro-abortion forces in Austin are pulling out all the stops to get their way. Mr. Carrasquillo needs our prayers and support now. This is time critical. His address is: Ramon Carrasquillo 5712 Hero Drive Austin, TX 78735
phone: 512-385-7676 (press the star key on your phone to leave a message.)
Chris [danze] reports that the abortion forces have targeted Ramon Carrasquillo, owner of Rainbow Materials, who was cited in 2001 by the City of Austin and the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission for numerous environmental violations because of concrete dumping in and near the Colorado River. The owner is still facing the possibility of massive fines and possible jail time. But, as Danze said, "The case has still not been settled. This ominous 'cloud' has been hanging over Mr. Carrasquillo as he has worked to get required cleanup permits and actually do the cleanup while trying to satisfy the legal authorities. But now he may be off the hook. Mr. Carrasquillo has been told that if he will 'give the concrete' to the Planned Parenthood project these problems 'will go away'."
Does this sound like bribery, extortion, or what? It seems that the abortion industry will stop at nothing to impose its harmful agenda. Efforts are already underway to investigate whether illegal actions have taken place. It appears that some city officials in Austin are willing to pander to Planned Parenthood and set aside the responsibility to protect the environment and enforce the laws of the people of Austin to get concrete for a privately owned abortion business.

Since Planned Parenthood has previously demonstrated a willingness to violate other laws that hamper their lucrative abortion business, the Coalition for Life will be conducting research to ensure that area Planned Parenthood abortion facilities comply with this new law or face stiff financial penalties.

Toby Keith Aaron Sain Jumpstarts a Career
Another nobody from the world of country music is attempting to jumpstart a musical career using a bit of opportunistic flag waving. You'll recall that last year Toby Keith was able to parlay his song "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)" into C&W stardom, after struggling for years as a fry cook and male prostitute. [OK, he had previously had a few albums and some hits, but nothing comparing to the success he achieved with this jingoistic bit of crap. And while I can't vouch for the fry cook and male prostitute sidelines, he must have been supporting himself somehow, since music certainly wasn't doing it for him].
Meet America's next stupid thing, Aaron Sain. If you've never heard of him, join the club. He is a producer/musician based in Nashville, who appears to be making a move to be this year's Toby Keith. As I learned from Free Republic, he's recorded a song called "Hey, Hollywood". It's meant to be "response to leftist attacks" from Hollywood liberals/entertainment types who have been denigrating America (or G.W. Bush; the two appear to be interchangeable to some people) through their nefarious causes and public comments. Just as Toby Keith went from has-been to super-star by jumping on the jingoism bandwagon, Aaron Sain is trying to make a name for himself by doing a bit of liberal-bashing.
A member of the conservative group RightMarch.com has recorded a new country song responding to the leftist attacks against President George W. Bush and America coming from country music artists such as the Dixie Chicks and Willie Nelson as well as liberal Hollywood actors.
"Country music fans -- like so many of us -- are proud Americans, and don't take kindly to people taking unfair potshots at our Commander-In-Chief when our country is at war," RightMarch.com said in an e-mail to supporters on Monday. "That goes for anyone, from country 'stars' to Hollywood 'stars' -- it's a free country, and you're free to speak your mind, but that doesn't mean Americans have to listen to that drivel."
The group points to country music legend Willie Nelson's latest "protest song" against Operation Iraqi Freedom and Bush as an example of the ongoing attacks from the left.
…The lyrics to Nelson's song entitled "What Ever Happened to Peace on Earth?" ask "how much oil is one human life worth?" and "how much is a liar's word worth?"
"Enough is enough," RightMarch.com proclaims in the e-mail. "Willie's obviously been hangin' around with his Hollywood crowd too much lately -- but we've got a way to help bring back the TRUTH, and we're gonna use country music to do it, y'all."
RightMarch.com revealed in the e-mail that one of its members named Aaron Sain has a band named The Right Brothers and has written and recorded a song rebuking liberal actors called "Hey Hollywood."
This single is not available in stores, but can be downloaded for free in various formats.
"This is a fun way to fight back against the lies of the radical left, while also arming ourselves with the truth," RightMarch.com contends in the e-mail.
RightMarch.com says they hope to "fight back against the lies of the loony left coming from Hollywood, the liberal media and groups like MoveOn.org."
"Hey Hollywood" by The Right Brothers
Well I heard some movie stars talking on TV
Said they were being a voice for you and me
Saying things like "no blood for oil" and "not in our name"
And just like the roar of an F-16, I heard this country say
Hey Hollywood, we hear your message and it don't sound good
Your just running this country down with our troops overseas
Hey Hollywood, take a look around if you would
And if you don't love this land you're free to leave.
Now don't get me wrong I know you got a right
To say what you want and never apologize
You can protest all day and shout what you believe
But the rest of America has the right to kindly disagree
Hey Hollywood, we hear your message and it don't sound good
Your just running this country down with our troops overseas
Hey Hollywood, take a look around if you would
And if you don't love this land you're free to leave.
I'll even help you pack your bags if you want, if you wanna leave.
Hey Hollywood, stop running this country down.
Hey Hollywood.

Cats, Dogs and Potatoes
Another 'NASCAR dad' for Bush? David Albury, of Eland, Florida, is convinced that his cat is a living, meowing tribute to deceased NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt.
David Albury was at home recuperating from surgery several months ago when he noticed the black fur on his cat's back was shaped in the number "3." The fur screamed "Dale Earnhardt" to Albury.
He told his wife of 30 years, "Valerie, we're rich."
Albury, a NASCAR fan who regularly watches the races on television, called up the Daytona International Speedway to see if officials there were interested. The Speedway officials suggested he call Dale Earnhardt Inc. based in North Carolina. He hasn't gotten a reply. [Ed. No fucking kidding]
Earnhardt died in 2001 during a crash in the Daytona 500. The legendary driver's car bore the number 3.
…This isn't the first animal born in Florida bearing the number 3 since Earnhardt's death.
In 2002, a brown Nubian goat was born in north Florida that had a white "3" on its side. It was promptly named Lil' Dale and several Earnhardt fan's went to its farm to see it.
The Christmas card from Paul Martin came two years ago as did invitations to at least three Liberal party functions in the Victoria area, including one nomination meeting, said the dead dog's 81-year-old owner.
The Liberal party cards and letters were addressed to Gregg Buchanan, but the only Gregg who ever lived at that address was a dog who died five years ago, the dog's confused owner said.
"At the time I was baffled by the whole thing," said the man who didn't want to be identified. "I just thought they made a mistake somewhere."
The dog received two invitations from B.C.'s Young Liberals to attend meetings at the University of Victoria, he said.
The man said he is not a member of any political party. He said he decided to make his dog's political status public after speculation about Liberal party memberships began swirling after recent raids on the offices of two provincial Liberal ministerial aides.
Liberal party officials in Vancouver could not be reached for comment about the dog.
BERLIN (Reuters) - German police are investigating after an angry man returned a computer he had just bought saying it was packed with small potatoes instead of computer parts.
The store replaced the computer free of charge but became suspicious when he returned a short time later with another potato-filled computer casing, police in the western city of Kaiserslautern said Monday.
"The second time he said he didn't need a computer any more and asked for his money back in cash," a police spokesman said.
Police are now investigating the man for fraud.

Treasury To Probe O'Neill
Well that didn't take long. Less than 24 hours after Paul O'Neill appeared on '60 Minutes' with his criticism of the Bush administration, the Treasury department has announced that it's seeking an investigation of his use of some supposedly classified documents in the interview. Seems like a rather ham-handed payback attempt. As O'Neill himself has remarked, there's not much they can do to him; he's old, and rich. But that doesn't mean that they won't try to bring him down.

Friday's Weird News
Posting's been extremely light lately due to the holidays, a recurring flu-like illness, and a return to work. All I can manage today is this week's installment of weird news stories…
A couple in China have tried to save money by sending their twin sons to school on alternate days.
For six months, teachers and classmates at the school in western China thought the two boys were the same pupil until the ruse was discovered.
The parents said afterwards they came up with the idea to save "unnecessary expenditure", according to local newspapers.
They would send one boy to school on even-numbered days of the week and the other on odd-numbered days.
The boys were attending preschool classes for four and five year-olds at a primary school in Chongqing.
Three Polish poachers are facing animal cruelty charges for forcing a giant pike to drink champagne.
Two of them were spotted holding the freshly caught fish while the third drunkenly tried to pour the contents of the bottle into its mouth.
Prosecutors claim the men deliberately poured the champagne down the fish's throat to kill it so they could take it home and eat it.
But the men, who were not named, claimed they spotted the giant fish in difficulty at the side of the lake and had hoped the champagne might give it a new lease of life.
Polish media quoted one of the men as saying: "The poor thing was on it's last legs, we wanted to warm it up so it could enjoy the New Year."
Two Grade 7 girls were "encouraged" to leave their school after they were caught charging money for a public kissing session in the school cafeteria.
The 12-year-olds charged boys $5 to watch the lunch-hour show late last year.
The father of one of the girls said his daughter was basically expelled for her actions.
"She was thrown out of school," the unidentified man said after calling a CJAD phone-in show. "She wasn't allowed back to school. She was told she had to go to a different school." The man said the girl's parents agreed to get counselling for their daughter.
The students apparently got the idea for the kiss after watching Britney Spears and Madonna kiss during last year's MTV awards.
A Croatian man blew up his frozen car after trying to warm it by lighting a fire under the engine.
Zlatko Grden, 52, lit some old newspapers under the engine of his Opel Kadett after it failed to start in freezing temperatures.
He told local media: "I couldn't start the engine and realised it was frozen. I decided to warm it up. Maybe I used too much paper."
Grden, of Donja Stubica near the Croatian capital Zagreb, added: "My lovely car is now destroyed."


text: February 23, 2016 Runway Report: Antonio Berardi Fall 2016 1/11 View Slideshow A not so average Monday morning in London, and a not so average Antonio Berardi served up an alternative to the English breakfast. Instead, he went back to black with his Fall 2016 collection. Infused with ten different types of lace and the darkests of noir, Berardi decided to invite a punk rock princess and a 19th Century maiden for breakfast. Where hair and makeup was concerned, the designer opted for a fresh faced glow, with just the slightest of lip staining as the focal point, leaving the clothing to speak for itself, without any influence. Berardi stayed true to his feminine silhouettes but went outside of the fashion-box with his choice in dark hues. As far as style goes, his use of decadent lace, rivet-detailing and patent panels, made for a juxtaposed, yet wearable range. Trench coats with patent belts, one-shoulder waistcoats, lace-panelled maxi dresses and some ox-blood velvet for good measure, made up a catwalk show that forecasts vampish vibes for the coming season.

Risk and reward in overseas property investment
Before we go into more detail on how and where to invest, let's look at what are the risk and return involve in overseas property investment. There are few main risk factors you must consider when you make your overseas property investment: political risk, currency risk, and liquidity risk.
Political Risk
Political changes and instability in a country could affect investment return for example change in government, legislative bodies, other foreign policy makers or military control. Political risks are notoriously hard to quantify because there are limited sample sizes or case studies when discussing an individual nation.
Liquidity Risk
The risk stemming from the lack of marketability of an investment that cannot be bought or sold quickly enough to cash out.
Currency Risk
When you invest in overseas property, you are exposed to potential risk from fluctuating foreign exchange rates. On the contrary, you also have the potential to reap gains if the foreign exchange rates move according to your favour.
How to invest in overseas property
Every country has different investment procedure and policy. Below are the main checklist when you plan to invest in overseas property

- Loan: If you need loan, make sure the loan guideline for foreign investors. Alternatively you can check with you local bank if they provide loan on the property (country) you intend to buy.

- Resale procedure: Any limitation on who you can sell to in the future? Is there any tax payable if you sell within certain period of time? Do you need to fully paid your property before be able to sell?
- Liquidity: Demand of rental and resale property in the country.

The Federal Court has ruled that it cannot compel the federal Minister of the Environment to submit a Climate Change Plan or make regulations under the Kyoto Implementation Act, 2007 to ensure that Canada will meet its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol (Kyoto). This decision confirms the intent in enacting the legislation was to make the Plan and regulations non-justiciable in the courts and subject only to parliamentary review.
On October 20, 2008, the Federal Court dismissed three judicial review applications brought by Friends of the Earth - Les Ami(e)s de la Terre (FOTE). The applications sought to compel the federal government to comply with Canada's Kyoto obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to below 1990 base levels. The court's decision means that environmental groups cannot use the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act, 2007 (KPIA) to compel the government, through the courts, to adopt a particular Climate Change Plan (Plan) or make any climate change regulations. The decision confirms that the Governor in Council (GIC) retains the discretion to decide the manner and extent to which Canada complies with Kyoto.
In June 2007, the KPIA was passed into law by the opposition parties and the majority of the Canadian Senate. The KPIA requires the federal Environment Minister to file a Plan and issue draft and final regulations that would meet Canada's obligations under Article 3, paragraph 1 of Kyoto. The federal government subsequently filed a Plan that, on its face, acknowledged that it would not achieve compliance with Kyoto and, in fact, admitted that the government had no intention of meeting Kyoto's requirements. The Plan expressly stated that strict adherence to Kyoto's emission reduction target for Canada would cause a recession in Canada - an outcome which the government wanted to avoid.
FOTE commenced three judicial review applications seeking declarations that the federal government's Plan fails to comply with the requirements of sections 5, 7, 8, and 9 of KPIA and mandamus orders to force the government to comply. The federal government argued (and the court generally accepted) that the KPIA imposed no justiciable obligations on the government. In its decision, the court considered two questions:
- whether section 5 of the KPIA imposed a justiciable duty on the Minister to prepare and table a Plan that was Kyoto-compliant. The court interpreted this question to mean, "[D]oes the KPIA contemplate judicial review ... where the government declares to Parliament and to Canadians that it will not, for reasons of public policy, meet or attempt to meet the emissions targets established by the Kyoto Protocol?"
- whether sections 7, 8 and 9 of the KPIA impose justiciable duties on the GIC to make, amend or repeal environmental regulations within the stated timelines. The court answered "no" to both questions. Looking at the entire statutory context for these sections of the KPIA and the legal principle of justiciability, the court concluded that Parliament did not intend the "obligations" imposed by sections 5, 7, 8 and 9 of the KPIA to be enforceable by the court.
Section 5 the KPIA - which set out the contents of a Plan - involves a variety of government policy judgments (e.g., the government is required to protect workers in transition and to provide for an equitable distribution of reduction levels) which are so "policy-laden" that they defy an assessment of non-compliance by a court. Moreover, the ongoing review and adjustment of the Plan for scientific and political reasons, the required cooperation with third parties such as provincial authorities and industry (over which the federal government may not have complete control), and the statutory provisions requiring the government to report on the extent to which the Plan is not achieved in any given year, all implicitly acknowledge that Parliament did not intend for the court to adjudicate the content of any Plan.
Similarly, the language of section 7 of the KPIA, imposing a 180-day timeframe for implementing regulations, is permissive, not mandatory. Given that the court cannot dictate the content of any implementing regulation, it is highly unlikely that Parliament intended for the 180-day timeframe to be mandatory and justiciable. Equally, if section 7 of the KPIA does not create a mandatory duty to regulate, it necessarily follows that the government cannot be required to carry out the "ancillary duties of publishing, reporting or consulting on the efficacy of such measures" under sections 8 and 9 of the KPIA.
More generally, the court found that under the scheme of the KPIA, Parliament intended "Parliamentary and public accountability" rather than judicial accountability. The court noted the requirement under the KPIA to "ensure" Kyoto compliance, is achieved through scientific review and reporting to the public and to Parliament, and these are processes which are "mostly not amenable or suited to judicial scrutiny."
Although the court conceded that it may have a limited oversight role in the enforcement of clearly mandatory requirements of the KPIA (e.g., the government's obligation to publish some kind of Plan, but not the Plan's content), this issue was not raised in this case.
Significance for Canadian Industry
This decision is important to Canadian industry because it confirms the discretion of the federal government to make policy on climate change and greenhouse gas emissions which falls short of implementing Canada's Kyoto requirements. Presumably, if the leading Canadian government policy on the implementation of Kyoto – the Plan – can refuse to implement Kyoto without judicial sanction, then so too can all other federal legislative and policy initiatives.

California Highway Patrol to receive immediate 5.9 percent raise
The change, posted on the website of the California Department of Human Resources late Friday, is based on a law that requires the state to survey compensation packages provided to other law enforcement officers each fiscal year and adjust CHP wages accordingly.
The 5.9 percent raise for rank-and-file CHP officers was calculated using the average total compensation of five law enforcement agencies: the San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Oakland police departments, as well as the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office.
The first 4 percent will be a direct salary increase, and the rest will be allocated to pre-fund the union's health care benefits.

While the other state law enforcement agency (CDCR) is basically screwed over, by the well meaning people who champion the inequality that has prevailed far to long!
- July 6, 2013 at 7:53 AM
CDCR is not a Law enforcment agency. How can CDCR compare with CHP, LASO, LAPD. What penal codes does CDCR enforce? CDCR is not law enforcement I don't know why you guys call yourselves cops. lol
- July 7, 2013 at 9:50 AM
Wow. You're a retard for thinking that. When was the last time you spent 16 hours with a murder. Let guess mmmmm never. PC 832 makes COs peace officers....live with it
- July 7, 2013 at 11:22 AM
It's a prison what do you expect. I'm not saying you're not peace officers you're not a Law Enforcement agency. How could you be on the same level as the CHP. Your agency is going down the tubes. You know it. Privatization is right around the corner for you guys.
- July 7, 2013 at 1:14 PM
Are you serious?? We dont prosecute inmates who commit felonies?? We dont arrest civilians who commit felonies on prison grounds and book them into county jail?? Our Investigative Staff (ISU) can and have served Search Warrants all over the state of California multiple times. Yes , we do everything street cops do except write little ol ladies speeding tickets. Get your facts straight before you come here and post your garbage.
- July 7, 2013 at 2:20 PM
Are you serious? Ok so an inmate commits a felony? He doesn't get prosecuted because he is doing a life term. What civilian has been arrested on prison grounds? oh ya your own staff and some co's. ISU serving search warrant? For what extra lunches? Oh a book on suduko?
- July 7, 2013 at 2:42 PM
All cops hide behind the gun. Point a gun at a bad guy and he gets down. Come into the Pen and get hands on, up close and personal with lifers who have nothing to lose. Come get shit and piss thrown in your face. Chp go change a fucken tire for some old lady, pull your gun out maybe once in your career. Our gun is our own two fists and we pull them out on a daily basis. The chp is the Air Force. We are the grunts.
- July 7, 2013 at 3:21 PM
Now wait a minute there. Don't you guys have oc and a baton? Not to mention a guy watching over you with an array of weapons? So how can you use your two fists? Interesting? I watch lockup I know what happens in there.
- July 7, 2013 at 3:31 PM
Mule creek is full of ex cops. You fools ain't no better.
- July 7, 2013 at 3:32 PM
Yeah just keep watching tv, Air Force!!!!!!
- July 7, 2013 at 3:36 PM
I don't consider myself a cop! I'm a prison guard! Fuck it! If you want to play cops and robbers go hit the streets and have a blast. For me I do my 8 hit the gate! Bunch of weenies work for this dept!
- July 7, 2013 at 4:14 PM
What a piece of shit u are to post these negative comments about cdcr prison guards. We work a way tougher beat than you do bitch!
- July 7, 2013 at 5:22 PM
How can you say that you work a tougher beat than me? I know co's they tell me all they do is play suduko and cards and count people. How hard is that? It's probably tough to stay awake.
- July 7, 2013 at 5:58 PM
All u do is eat donuts and give people tickets for tinting their windows, lol..
- July 7, 2013 at 6:22 PM
You got that right....Having tinted windows is against the law. If don't like the law then change it.
- July 7, 2013 at 7:01 PM
My neighbor is a guard, he says he gets better sleep at work then he does at home! He says most the people he works with are no better then the Inmates. That came from one of your own, not my mouth! We're hiring get in line!
- July 7, 2013 at 7:26 PM
Your neighbor is lying and the fellow coworkers dont have any felonies, so how can you compare them to inmates dumb ass!
- July 7, 2013 at 7:39 PM
I am a state prison guard and consider myself a good seasoned law enforcement officer that upholds all state and federal laws, and am proud to wear the CDCR badge!

Every Dept. has dirt bags. A few months ago a AAA patrolman gave me a ticket for allege cellphone use. I submitted a trial by written declaration and argued that the state could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that I in fact had used my cell. A few weeks later, the court found me NOT GUILTY and reimbursed my $162. During this time I witnessed an unmarked patrol car with "Exempt" plates at my local park. I waited around since I was suspicious of it use. After several minutes, a family of 3 approached the vehicle with baseball equipment in hand. The adult male placed the equipment in the trunk and directed the kids to enter the vehicle. I wrote down the plate number and made contact with DMV in Sac. I informed them of observation and they notified me that the vehicle was assigned to CHP. I contacted CHP headquarters and filed a complaint. A few days later, a Lt. contacted me and kept me informed of the investigation. He informed me that vehicle was only assigned for state business not personal use. He informed me that the person assigned to the vehicle was interviewed and confessed. He stated that he would face disciplinary action and his car privilege invoked.

I'm not a CDC officer but I am an officer with a different agency. But I can tell you that CDCR peace officers are law enforcement officers.
It's in their sworn oath, and they are P>C 8.32 qualified which makes them legal peace officers.
I'm assuming the negative comments on here saying they are not L.E. officers are either inmates/parolees or families of such.
- July 8, 2013 at 12:03 AM
wow, and inmate with an internet ready cell phone, comes on here and posts some stuff, and some get bent out of shape. Brush off your shoulders and live in the fact that we house the ones that the street give to us. I have never met a street cop that told me they would ever work our job. Most of them have even told me "fuck that" ha ha ha!!!
- July 8, 2013 at 12:14 AM
Didn't mean to raise such a ruckus KNOW IT ALL, but now I know why the politicians have such a problem identifying correctional officers, guards, or however you choose to call those in the profession as law enforcement. We are not afraid to walk into a prison and do the job without a gun.
By the way DVI only has gun coverage outside on the yards. Two cops are responsible for over 200 inmates in the housing units and not a one of them have a S on their chest. So no they don't hide behind a badge and a gun while cruising the streets! So yes they deserve to be considered for the parity any other state law enforcement agency is considered for! Where you at CCPOA its time to get on that page when negotiating your membership wages!
- July 8, 2013 at 7:00 AM
Question who guards people who are taken into custody by cops? Whether it be CHP, sheriffs, and local police department officers the task of guarding prisoners/inmates remain a law enforcement activity. Otherwise those who perform the task of maintaining custody of prisoners/inmates in local, county, jails are to be considered anything but law enforcement. Do they not wear a badge. Were they not sworn under oath. What are their jobs classified as being?
So why then are hairs being split to unfairly cull California's corrections officers from the law enforcement classification? The ploy primarily serves only one purpose, and that is to deny the custody staff of CDCR the benefits and prestige they deserve as law enforcement personnel.

Melanie as a matter of fact no one is on the same team that's the harsh reality about California departments and you know this woMAN! Everyone is in this for themselves the brown nosers, ass kissers, the clicks and the ones who are just in it for the money! The only time and I mean only time we work as a team is when another officer is in need and in situations that we all need to depend on one another that's the only time. Other than that it's what can I do to get where I want to go in this department.

You want parity with CHP? Fine. For the same pay and benefits I want the same employee disciplinary system and standards. Same uniform and grooming standards. Same sick leave usage standards. Same physical fitness standards. One of the many differences being overlooked is the CHP generates and income for the state. I'm a guard, a term I actually hold with high regard. I have family that are CHP and other law agencies. I pray for them as I do for us. I have no issues with them receiving higher pay. You buys your ticket and you takes your ride. Suck it up or get out.

The senior medical officer of Suntreso Government Hospital has denied rumors of a baby being born with conjoined limbs.
Managers of the Suntreso Government Hospital in Kumasi have denied reports of the delivery of a mermaid-like baby at the hospital.
The reports suggest the child was born with a rare defect. It has only one leg joining the tortso from the waist down to the two feet.
The report further stated that the baby is conjoined at the heels which look like a caudal fin with no genitals but the baby looked healthy at birth.
The senior medical officer of the hospital, Dr. Agyarko Poku in an interview with Nhyira FM's Naa Amerley expressed shock at the report saying "We have records of all those who delivered on that day, so there re is nothing of that sort.
"This is where I have been for the past weeks and so when we heard the news in the dailies we were very surprised because there is no iota of truth (in it)".
"…Yes something like that can happen but not in the hospital I work" he insisted.

Dual Coat Black Ceramic
The Dual Coat Black Ceramic
is shown here after we media blast the top Black Ceramic Coat off with
#100 Oxide leaving the base Silver Ceramic Coat exposed. Holding the
blast gun at one spot for a longer period exposes the bare metal
The Dual Coating process is expensive and takes several days with three trips to the oven. Once to clean the exhaust, once to bake on the Silver Ceramic at 600 Deg F and a third time to bake on the Black Ceramic Finish at 600 Deg F. It's the only way a Black Ceramic Finish will hold up to chemicals and corrosion. We have years of experience with this process.
Serialization of Your RB Racing LSR 2-1 Order.
We use 2000 Degree F
Ceramic coatings on our heat shield hose clamps for our Dual Coat Black
LSR 2-1 exhaust systems. It makes the clamps "disappear" and they will
not discolor.
We also heli-braze metal tabs
inside our heat shields that are stamped for the part
number and your order number. The three digit number is the part
number...All LSR 2-1 exhausts are 00-1XXX, with the last three digits
indicating the part number. The alphanumeric four digit number is your
order number. The exhaust, as well as the the heat shields, also has
all seven digits stamped into it. The "blank" tab is a spacer only and
does not use a hose clamp.
165HP @ 9 PSI Boost... 95 Cubic Inches
Torque is the game..Take it
to 4 or five psi of boost, short shift, and do it again...80 mph
instantly. Or, if the handlebar adjustable boost control knob is set at
9 PSI, get 165 hp now. 13 PSI 195 hp. Turbo goes to 25 PSI. Torque allows you to effortlessly roll-on and
pass that line of Semis, or leave the other bikes behind. RB Racing Turbos.
New Indian Chief LSR 2-1 Pro Stock Exhaust Systems.
The Indian Chief is a "from the ground
up" interpretation of the classical V-Twin, kept alive for over 100
years by Harley-Davidson, the sole survivor. In 111 or 116 cubic inch
formats it's short on horsepower and long on clean sheet engineering.
Indians are here to stay this time around after several aborted
attempts to revive the marque.
Beautiful paint and chrome and true
"Indian Heritage" styling it's a more modern interpretation of the
classical V-Twin...This time around with three camshafts and some pushrods as straight
as an Indian's arrow .
The OEM exhaust has little in the way of
performance tuning. We've got that covered with a pure merge collector
LSR 2-1 design. Maximum benefit with Stage 1/2/3 and larger throttle body (60mm) modifications past 130 horsepower.
Bosch Motorsport Ignition Coils
These are the Bosch Motorsport Ignition
Coils that we use in our dual-plugged Turbo ORCA motors. We stock these
along with the specialzed connectors. ORCA motors use two 12mm
racing spark plugs per cylinder for bore sizes 4.000" to 4.375". We
trigger these with a Cosworth Pectel SQ6M ECU, programming four
separate spark maps, each with 25 x 25 sites, for a total of 2500
ignition points. In terms of keystrokes to enter this data...a bit shy
of 12,500 keystrokes. No one said this was going to be easy. We use
Champion 662 / A59C resistor racing spark plugs, which we also stock.
New RSR Wideband (Bosch LSU4.2/9) AFR Gauges
RSR Dual Air Fuel Gauges for the 18mm
LSU Wideband Sensors (20:1 to 10:1 AFR) are in production. IP67
waterproof in
billet enclosures these have our 10 L.E.D. interface that tells you at
a glance if your AFR is Stoichiometry (14.56:1) or peak power ratios of
13.5:1 or 12.5:1...and ratios of 11.5:1 or richer.
You cannot divert your attention to watch a digital gauge and try to read, or remember, spooling numbers. You need hysterisis at a target ratio that can be interpreted at a glance whether you are dodging cars, or going 200 mph. We just provide the AFR Gauge, not the Bosch Lambda sensors.
The white arrow indicates maximum torque and power. Easy to see at a glance at full throttle.
Left to right 10 L.E.Ds going from lean to rich: Five Green lights, Two Yellow lights, Two Orange lights and one Red light. These display the range 20.5:1 to 11.5:1The two Yellow lights L-R are 15.5:1 and 14.5:1 (Stoichiometry)
I was sleeping in Class
236hp and 328 hp Injectors
RB Racing Bosch High Impedance Injectors
rated at 236 hp or 328 hp at a duty cycle of 80%. Used in our
Harley Turbo Kits and in big inch motors. Direct insertion into stock
fuel rail/throttle body. Two or 3 Bar Map Sensors required with Delphi or aftermarket ECMs.
9.3 Gram Injectors (236 hp @80% Duty Cycle): Come with 20 gauge 22759/32 Mil-Spec Wiring Pigtails. $295.00 (pair). 03-1014. In stock shipping.
12.9 Gram Injectors (328 hp @ 80% Duty Cycle): Come with 20 gauge 22759/32 Mil-Spec Wiring Pigtails. $395.00 (pair). 03-1015. In stock shipping.
Real World Tuning Package...While you ride..Not on the Dyno
When you order a complete LSR 2-1 exhaust
with the RSR Dual Air Fuel Ratio Gauge and
The TTS MasterTune there is a $75.00 discount on the total price.
You can observe while you ride in the real world to evaluate
transitionals and wide open throttle. The RSR Dual Air Fuel Ratio Gauge
is waterproof and Harley-proof. It gives instantaneous visual
information that is available at a quick glance...No numbers, just
position and color reference (GGGYYYOORR), to tell you if your mixture
is correct. Invaluable for wide-open runs through the gears or
evaluating transitionals on your roll-ons.
The above chart gives the response times
of the 2009 and later 12mm Delphi Oxygen sensors. In actual dyno tuning
you really
have to hold one "site", i.e. the intersect of load and rpm to get an
accurate feedback as the sensors are always "behind" due to their
response times. That's why you see Superflow engine dynos doing step
testing so things can stabilize. In a tenth of a second you could be at
any location on the fuel map...Not to mention the eight surrounding
sites that are being interpolated.
The problem with "holding things" on and eddy current dyno is that is things heat up in these air
cooled engines and the hidden code in the Delphi ecm starts changing
things. You can really only do one wide-open throtte pull on a dyno at one rpm
and load site before the engine heats up too much.
Best do real world data
recording with the TTS while you ride and then evaluate, in real time,
your map with the RSR milli-second fast RSR Fuel Ratio Gauge with
genuine 18mm Bosch O-Sensors. Real
time monitoring when you ride is the only way you can evaluate
transitionals, acceleration additives, and wide open throttle...all in
the real world moving through the air and on the road like you do
normally. All LSR 2-1 exhausts can be ordered with both 12mm and 18 mm
O2 sensor bungs.
Milwaukee 8
People kept asking about RB Racing releasing LSR 2-1 exhaust systems for the new Harley Motor. Well, we are fixtured for them with a new muffler design that takes into account the increased compression and displacement, but were not releasing anything until some things settled down. No matter what people say, this is an emissions-designed engine with a lot of compression, locked in place valve adjustment and camshafts that are simply going to give you next to zero in gains for your hard earned money in just changing the exhaust. Every exhaust manufacturer wants your $$$ before things are settled down. We don't. We'll released them when there were real gains to be made.
Testing has shown cam changes need to be
made along with a 2-1 exhaust to make any appreciable gains. Go ahead
buy your $500.00 air cleaners and your $700.00 Monster Slip-Ons...keep
the economy going. Dealer level cam modifications with CNC ported heads
are showing about 130 hp...about where the TC 120R motors were.

I'm a little bit confused about Thing 19. Apparently advertising is "only 10% of marketing (if that)", the rest of it being what we *actually do* and the services we offer. But in the same paragraph I read that "a lot of libarians offer brilliantly appropriate services or tools for their users, but they just don't wield the megaphone enough in order to get the message out there" um, but surely 'wielding the megaphone' is the advertising part, so what are we talking about- marketing or advertising?
If I'm honest, I haven't come across anything in the Cam23 programme that is going to fundamentally change the services we offer our users. It hasn't turned up masses of vitally important information that we were previously unaware of and that our students must know about, but it has shown me several platforms that could be adopted for more successful 'megaphone wielding'. To me, reaching users on as many different platforms as possible is a way of advertising our library, and to argue that it's not advertising because it's 'connecting and conversing' seems to be going to extraordinary lengths to avoid saying that we *need* to advertise our libraries. Conversation can only develop when there's something there to engage with, and the only way we can make our users more aware of our presence is by advertising.
Perhaps the distinction is too subtle for me. The social media we've been exploring has shown me lots of new and exciting ways of presenting the information that is already there. Yes, these new platforms offer huge opportunities for engaging on a personal level with our users, and the fact that both librarians and users can interact in meaningful ways has got to be a good thing, but the boundaries between advertising and social media are becoming increasingly blurred.
Arguments about whether it's advertising or marketing aside, what's the one Thing I think our library could adopt to help engage with our users? I'm afraid the answer has to be Facebook. There are several reasons for this:
- It's versatile and flexible
- Most of our users will have an account (and will have had for several years)
- It's fairly universal
- We can set the tone easily
- At least some of our librarians are comfortable using this format (if not particularly comfortable with the personal/professional divide)
- Facebook has the critical mass needed to make it really successful, something even Twitter hasn't quite managed yet
- It's interactive and can be used to engage as well as advertise
- It can be used to help further a sense of community – something especially useful in the college context
Now I'm not a huge fan of Facebook on a personal level, but over the past few weeks I've come across quite a few good library pages and have been convinced that it can be used to good effect if we were ably to get enough support. Facebook page addresses can easily be added to library guides and literature for incoming students, to email signatures of library staff for further coverage, as well as a link on the library web pages. I can easily believe that it might be something that users would look at and engage with if bought to their attention, and well maintained, well-judged page (like the Jerwood Library's) would do a great deal to promote the friendly and approachable face of the library.

Juvederm Voluma Treatments / New York City
Juvederm Voluma is an injectable filler for restoring mid-face volume. JuvedermTM VolumaTM XC can restore balance and contour to your face by adding volume to the cheeks where it is lacking due to the effects of aging and extreme weight loss.

What to Know
