Sawyer Library: Under the protection of trash busters

http://wclwebteam.blogspot.com/2011/01/under-protection-of-trash-busters.html

Sunday, January 2, 2011. Under the protection of trash busters. You'll find on display in Angela Farias' office in the Stephen F. Austin building what, at first, might seem an odd assortment of items from foreign countries. Old shampoo bottles from Brazil and Denmark. Encrusted plastic bottles from China and the Soviet Union. An all-purpose cleaner from Singapore. A dirty milk carton from Australia. A box from Venezuela. Garry, Angela's boss, tells us she "has taken what we thought would be a small, extr...

Ombuds God: September 2002

Sunday, September 29, 2002. NEXT THEY’LL BE ISSUING ORANGE JUMPSUITS. THE DOG THAT DIDN’T BARK.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Election Commission has imposed a record $719,000 in fines against Democrats involved in the party's 1996 fund-raising scandals, according to a published report. LaMont explains why the piece didn’t run in the Bee:. Melnic...

Ombuds God: January 2003

http://ombudsgod.blogspot.com/2003_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 31, 2003. Euro-Anti-Semitism or valid satire? The Independent (UK) was recently taken to task in Little Green Footballs, and elsewhere, for publishing a grotesque anti-Semitic cartoon of the Israeli Prime Minister. The cartoon appears to many, including The OmbudsGod, to clearly invoke the ancient blood libel against Jews (that Jews eat and/or drink the blood of non-Jewish children) – which is still in common use in the Arab media. Coercive marketing and the PTO. Is grocery day. Yep, ...

Recent Library News: Teen sections are changing

http://recentlibrarynews.blogspot.com/2010/11/teen-sections-are-changing.html

Monday, November 15, 2010. Teen sections are changing. Libraries cater to adolescents with own areas. Ten years ago, the teen section at your public library was probably an afterthought. At best, it boasted a few posters and languished at the edge of the children's section, all but consumed by munchkin-size tables and chairs. But libraries are changing, and the Valley is leading a national trend to create the kinds of interactive, noise-friendly spaces that Generation Y wants. Friends of Cuban Libraries.

Sawyer Library: 10 resolutions Preparation is the key to traveling wisely and well

http://wclwebteam.blogspot.com/2011/01/10-resolutions-preparation-is-key-to.html

Monday, January 3, 2011. 10 resolutions Preparation is the key to traveling wisely and well. Make some New Year's resolutions today. Vow to take the pain out of travel in 1990. Well, not all the pain. No matter where you plan to go, Murphy's Law applies: If anything can go wrong, it will. You can be certain of that. But the secret is to make life on the road as easy as possible. I'll let my fingers do the walking. In the Chicago Yellow Pages, for example, under Tourist Information, you'll find the nu...
