text: I won't go so far as to call them more entertaining than DC/Marvel books, but Valiant is pretty fantastic. They're not exactly groundbreaking or revolutionary, but their books are definitely fun to read. X-O Manowar and Shadowman, in particular. Bloodshot's not bad, though not of the same caliber. Overall consistent quality in both writing and art.

Logan County Attorney Joe Ross received a letter recently from Murray State University saying some changes had been made to the deeds of Savage Cave located outside of Adairville.
The process is moving along in turning the cave over to the fiscal court. Ross told the Logan County Fiscal Court at the May 27th meeting he would write a response letter letting the school know the county is still interested.
The college asked the county if they wished to take ownership of the cave in 2012, however, it's taken well over a year to get all the paperwork straight before it can be turned over. Owning property is common practice for small governmental entities, but owning a cave system could be ground breaking. Because Murray State University is over two hours away, the institution thought it best to deed it over to the county who could better protect it.
The Adairville Historical Society has shown interest in becoming caretakers of the cave, asking the county to lease it to them once they became owners. Murray State University cannot give the cave to a small private organization like the society, but will give it to a governmental agency who can then lease it to whom they choose.
The society has plans for the cave including bringing in school classes to learn more about the historic property and possibly having a festival in the area at some time in the future. It has been mentioned as well that eventually the cave could be made into a state park.
The cave, named after it's one-time owner, Genevieve Savage, has been in the care of Murray State University since 1983 when it was donated to them by the Archaeological Conservancy headquartered in Santa Fe, N.M., with the approval of Savage, who donated the cave to the conservatory in 1980. Savage had purchased the cave in 1965 and embarked on a 28-year-long crusade until her death to gather interest in her cave, which turned out to be a national treasure of historical significance.
The cave was in danger of being destroyed when the civil defense wanted to turn it into a fallout shelter in the 1960s, according to an interview with Savage in a 1982 Courier Journal article. Savage convinced the owners of the property not to allow the civil defense to use the cave and she bought it for $1. Unfortunately, she had a difficult time getting people involved. In the many articles she was interviewed for throughout the years she expressed her disappointment in Logan County and the state of Kentucky at their lack of interest despite the cave having historical significance. She even attempted to get the cave annexed into Tennessee hoping to find more support.
The cave has been studied by several prominent archaeologists over the years such as the renowned Dr. Louis S.B. Leaky and Dr. Carl F. Miller, formerly of the Smithsonian Institute, who said, "Savage Cave has the greatest potential of finding Paleolithic man on the North American Continent." The Paleolithic era covers the period before the last ice age, sometime before 10,000 B.C. The deposits in the cave span at least 12,000 years, it is one of the most significant prehistoric sites in the eastern United States.
Dr. Kenneth C. Carstens of Murray State University said he thought that Savage Cave had a greater historical significance than that of Mammoth Cave. "We have found evidence of every known prehistoric culture in the Eastern United States there," said Carstens. "By examining the cave we can see why it was always a popular site for habitation."
A lot of work has already been done on the cave entrance and it is the most secure it has been in 20 years with cameras and a great deal more monitoring. There have been problems over the years with vandalism and illegal digging for artifacts in the cave before the tightening of security. There are stiff penalties for those who are caught in the cave without authorization.

(NAPSI)óWomen, it seems, would rather be heard than seenÖin a swimsuit, that is. In fact, according to a recent survey of women conducted on behalf of Landsí End, more women (66 percent) would be self-conscious appearing in public in a swimsuit than they would be giving a speech.
The survey also found what women do like about a swimsuit: Ninety-eight percent said proper fit is essential.
Women confess to feeling ìexposedî when wearing a swimsuit in a crowd but the survey also found that only 20 percent are concerned about the opinion of the general public.
Popular At Pool And Beach
Here are a few of the other ideas women have about what to wear for sunning and swimming:
ï One-Piece PreferredóOne-pieces continue to rule among almost seven out of 10 women.
ï Bold BikinisóNevertheless, almost half plan to brave a bikini this season.
ï Multiple ChoiceóTwo-thirds plan to purchase a new swimsuit this year and almost a quarter will get more than one suit.
ï Mix It UpóMore than half prefer to buy each piece separately for proper fit on each.
ï Quality CountsóWomen demand a quality swimsuit, with 89 percent stating that the level of quality affects their decision.
ï Cool CoverageóFully 85 percent look for a swimsuit with good coverage.
ï Shopping StrategiesóSwimsuit shoppers are using multiple channels when shopping for swimsuits, including in store (89 percent), online (64 percent) and via catalog (42 percent).
ï Considering ColorsóPopular shades range from classic black and white to color clashing.
ï Nautical Is NiceóThe nautical look is one of this swim seasonís favorites.
ï Vintage-Inspired GlamóRetro swim styles offer a subtle infusion of vintage cuts and prints, ruched swim tops and skirts.
ï Sun SafetyóStaying safe in the sun is a top trend. Fortunately, those soaking in the sunís rays can stay safer in a feminine, fashionable way with a Landsí End Swim Tee in a range of patterns and colors.
ï Flattering FitóAbout eight out of 10 want a swimsuit to flatten the tummy area, while almost half would like a swimsuit that enhances the bust area, slims hips or helps to conceal thighs. More than half want a swimsuit with slimming technology, such as can be found with the Landsí End Slender Suit.

My Rating
Pros: Comfortable car; small group; friendly guide.
Cons: Felt rushed at the stops, especially at Nimes. If Uzes had been eliminated--not really a Roman place and seemingly nothing more that a tourist venue--we would have had more time at Nimes and Pont du Gard. The guide should do a little more reading on the sights and history of the Provence area.

Sacre Bleu! Quirky French carmaker Citroen strides boldly into the $100,000-plus territory dominated by the Germans, reports GLENN BUTLER.
Citroen's new $100,000 plus C6 - interior
Video Gallery
Citroen's price list will skyrocket into the rarefied air above $100,000 when the C6 luxury sedan arrives in October. The two-model C6 range will be topped by a turbodiesel version priced at $103,500, almost twice the price of the next Citroen model, the $55,990 C5. But buyers of the six-figure Citroen C6 will still have to pay extra for an electric glass roof ($2000) and satellite navigation ($4000).The C6 prestige sedan has been on sale in Europe since early 2005, and was originally slated for an early 2006 arrival in Australia. It is based on the sleek and striking C6 Lignage concept car shown at the 1999 Geneva motor show and effectively takes over from the $84,500 XM hatch which was withdrawn from sale in Australia in 2000. Citroen says the C6 - the car of choice for French president Jacques Chirac - emphasises sophistication and appeal, and "sets new standards for design, comfort, refinement and the use of the latest technology".It has also been rated the safest car in the world by independent crash testing body EuroNCAP. The C6 was awarded a full five stars for occupant protection, and is the only car to achieve four stars for pedestrian safety. The latter is due to the bonnet which 'pops' when a pedestrian strike occurs to create a cushioning effect. The 4.9m C6 gives Citroen a direct competitor for executive sedans like the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-class, though it's unlikely that consumers will consider the quirky French brand in the same breath as its more established prestige rivals. More likely, says Citroen, the C6 will been seen as a "refreshing alternative to the sea of Teutonic badges".Two engines will be offered to move the 1800kg Citroen C6, each mated to a six-speed automatic transmission; a 155kW, 3.0-litre petrol V6 and a 140kW, 2.7-litre twin-turbocharged diesel. The C6 will offer a new generation of Citroen's hydro-pnuematic suspension which is said to not only maintain the vehicle's ride height irrespective of the number of occupants onboard, but also vary the springs and dampers to emphasise ride comfort or handling as desired. The Citroen C6 goes on sale in October.

U.S. homebuilders have become less optimistic this month, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. "This is partly due to ongoing uncertainties about job growth and consumer access to mortgage credit," NAHB Chairman Rick Judson said. "But it's also a reflection of the fact that builders are now confronting rising costs for building materials and, in some markets, limited availability of labor and lots as demand for new homes strengthens."

Dragnet Magazine Issue One
Dragnet Issue One features work by Sheila Heti, Jacob Wren, and J.R. Carpenter, as well as many upcoming voices. Dragnet Magazine is a new online/eBook literary journal that trawls the sea of stories for the best fiction. We publish energetic pieces that push the boundaries of narrative form and/or work that makes us laugh, smile, cry, or have any strong reaction besides yawning, which I guess isn't actually that strong a reaction, but you get the point.
32 Dragnet Magazine Why I Am Different from Margaret Atwood and What I Don't Gain from Humping Duvets by Erica Schmidt I have nothing to show for my evenings humping duvets. Surely Margaret Atwood never spends her evenings humping duvets. When such evenings occur, the nervous-void, anxious-boredom evenings, Margaret Atwood gathers her creativity together and amalgamates familiar objects and universally deep occurrences in order to arrive at stunning and poignant similes. Her similes become poems. Her poems are recited at shrines. Margaret Atwood would not open a bottle of screw-top wine and roll up her lime-green turquoise- daisied duvet and hump it profusely, so that she wouldn't be horny for her date with a man she has no desire of sleeping with. She does not go on dates with men she doesn't want to sleep with. She does not live on streets where they forget to pick up the recycling. I get up from my time with my lime- green turquoise-daisied duvet. I decide that I am about as aroused as possible

Received this as a sample and was blown away by how different this primer felt on my skin. 1 pump does my whole face and under eye area. I'm in my 50's and this works fantastic under my eyes to keep my concealer from the "crinkles". Dries to a velvety texture. Keeps my makeup looking fresh for 6-8 hours even in my humid climate. Price is hefty so I use this when I'm going out and/or need makeup to look fresh for several hours. Bare Minerals illuminating primer is my everyday primer. If you can afford it, this primer is excellent. I've had no problems with the pump, watery consistency, separation or oxidizing makeup on my skin.

I'd seen this product mentioned in beauty articles, but would skip right over it once I see its $50 price tag. I somehow ended up grabbing this at the store during the Sephora F&F Sale w/ 20% OFF. I wanted to see if there's a big difference between a high end primer versus low end, but I wasn't sure if I could commit to such an expensive primer. My primers have generally lasted me for a long time, so I don't get to try new ones that often. Alas, I realize, if a product makes you feel beautiful, it's worth it.
I could not give up product because it really brightened my face and gave it a glow, like a light bulb was turned on inside of me. I have been using one pump for my entire face, but I think it's still too much product. However, the pump isn't easy to control if you want to dispense less product (or maybe I didn't try that hard). It sort of spits out quite aggressively. It comes in a beautiful frosted glass jar with a plastic lid, a bit heavy if you need to take it with you to travel. Probably better to transfer to lighter containers found at Daiso. The product itself is runny in your palm, airy on your face. It spreads easily and your skin feels silky to the touch, almost matte. There's still a "silicone" feel/texture to it when you spread it on your face, but not as heavy or thick as Smashbox or Too Faced Primed & Poreless . It has a light white/iridescent cast at first, but it blends fine in for me and probably is what gives me that "glow" feeling.
As far as lasting power goes, I can't say it does an amazing job with keeping my foundation on all day, but a decent job. t could be a combination of the types of products and my application. I have dry/dehydrated skin during winter and combo-oily skin during the summers. I enjoy this more during spring/summer/fall, but for winter, when my skin craves something more moisturizing and less silicone, I switch to something more like Laura Mercier's primer. There is an expire date on it, so save the box to remember when to finish this by.

This primer costs lots of dollars, but probably not so many that I would fill up my bathtub with dollar bills. Still pretty pricy though.
I'm annoyed with myself because I like it enough to have repurchased at least four or five times, yet I cannot justify or fully articulate the supposed benefits. Yes, it has sunscreen. Yes, it goes on like a dream and is incredibly silky and mutes some of the redness in my skin. Does my foundation last longer when I use it? I think it does, but I've never actually formally tested it against other primers that I've tried.
Also, I find the formula very annoying towards the end. The default size comes in a glass bottle with a pump and always ends up with a bunch of unpumpable stuff at the end. I have to unscrew the top and dig around with the pump tube to extract the last remaining bits.
In sum, I think this is actually a pretty great primer, but at the same time, I wish it could be compared against other primers in a blind test for longevity/pore minimization and other things that primers are supposedly beneficial at doing. At least then I might know if I should spend my dollar bills on this primer, a different primer, taking a bath in dollar bills or smoking them. Science!

I seriously don't understand how this is even a primer. When I first tried it, it just felt like I was putting lotion on my face. THATS IT. There was nothing mattifying about this primer and it didn't reduce the look of pores. I returned it the next day. Apparently the formula was changed? Anyways it wasn't even worth the price, waay too expensive.
Would I recommend it? Nope, not to my oily girls that is.

I really wanted this primer to live up to the reviews, but unfortunately for my skin (oily) - it didn't. It goes on smooth and gives a lovely dewy finish to foundation, but by lunchtime I was even oilier than usual. I'm going back to my Paula's Choice Resist SPF 30, which has a much more matifying effect for me.

Dear Hourglass -- You've made a great primer. I love the fact it's not a weird greasy silicone-y product. Please make the same primer with a little (but not too much) tint to take away the white cast. I am a MAC NC30 (barely a medium skintone) and the whiteness is noticeable. I bet you would have even more fall in love with you if you made two undertones-- one cool and one warm. Give it a thought.

I wish I didn't like this primer because of the price tag, but I really do. I have oily skin with a pretty even texture, I just needed something to improve the longevity of my makeup and this stuff works! I only need 1 pump for the entire face, and it really does provide a smooth canvas for your foundation. My makeup still looks fresh at the end of a 9 hour day at work. The only reason I wouldn't repurchase is because a 50$ primer isn't exactly within my budget to spend on regularly. If you have the money to do so, then by all means- try this!

Great product. This primer does a good job of smoothing out the skin and keeping the foundation on. I used it everyday on my vacation in Asia where I was sweating a lot. My foundation stayed on fine. I can immediately feel the texture of your skin change as soon as I apply it.
This product is definitely a good investment in your makeup regimen.

Interosseous membrane of leg
Interosseous membrane of leg is also referred to as the middle tibiofibular ligament. This ligament extends through the fibula and tibia's interosseous crests and separates the muscles in the back of the leg from the muscles located in the front of the leg. It is made of an aponeurotic lamina, which is thin and is made of oblique fibers. Most of the fibers run laterally and downwards while the others run in an opposite direction. The ligament thins out on the lower portion, but is broader above. The upper portion of the interosseous membrane of leg does not reach the joint of the tibiofibular, but does create a concave border that is oval and large in size and allows the anterior tibial vessels to pass through to the front of the leg. On the lower part of the interosseous membrane of leg there is an opening so that the anterior peroneal vessels can pass through. In addition to the two main openings for the passage of vessels, there are also numerous openings so that small vessels can pass through.

Soul-sucking 'dementor' wasps and 8 other crazy new species
Soul-Sucking Dementor Wasp
Latin name: Ampulex dementor
Topics: Harry Potter, Books, Entertainment News
Editor's Note:This review discusses plot developments in the newest Harry Potter novel. Care has been taken not to reveal crucial details — but if you don't want to know anything about the story, please don't read it.
The penultimate book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series was always destined to be the trickiest of all seven novels. The books are a clever mixture of two hallowed genres — the British boarding school adventure and epic fantasy — with the earlier installments being more of the former and less of the latter. With each new volume, the balance edges more toward what we all know is coming at the very end: a major confrontation between good and evil, when Harry will face off against his nemesis, Lord Voldemort. The sixth novel, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," has the unenviable job of preparing the field for the final showdown, and for the first time, Rowling wobbles just a bit in pulling off the task she's set for herself. In the end, though, she regains her footing and "Half-Blood Prince" comes together, making it not quite the most graceful novel in the series, but perhaps the most impressive.
You'll read elsewhere that this book is "darker" or "the darkest yet," which is as big a revelation as saying it is printed on paper and bound between two pieces of cardboard; Rowling has been announcing exactly this intention for the past six years. In the fourth novel, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," a likeable minor character died; in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," a more likeable and more significant character was killed. So it's no surprise that a downright agonizing loss occurs in "Half-Blood Prince." (Expect an unusual number of tearful children this week.) In fact, any reader who's at all sensitive to the larger narrative arc Rowling is plotting will probably be able to guess where this book's blow will land.
What's even more interesting for an adult reader is that "Half-Blood Prince" is the book in which Rowling breaks her formula. By "The Order of the Phoenix," the basic devices of a Harry Potter plot had become set. It includes an indistinct but growing menace, misguided suspicions entertained by Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione, overlooked details that end up being crucial and a denouement revealing the disguises, deceptions and other tricks by which Harry and company have been threatened from an unexpected quarter. The first few times around, this was great fun; by the sixth book, the prospect of one more lap on the same course had grown less exciting.
But one more lap is not what we get. I won't elaborate further, except to say that "Half-Blood Prince" relies far less on complicated surprises and twists than any previous Harry Potter book. You could say that this novel is more concerned with difficult truths. By the end of "Half-Blood Prince" most of the coziness has been suctioned out of the series and a much more precarious state of affairs prevails. Rowling has always said that the seven novels — substantially planned out from the very beginning — correspond to the seven years of Harry's education at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Perhaps more than any actual character, Hogwarts could be the single most beloved element of the Harry Potter books, an institution that — the real-world grimness of boarding schools notwithstanding — children all over the world yearn to enter. By the end of "Half-Blood Prince," even the future of Hogwarts is in peril.
What Rowling clearly didn't plan out in advance are the novels' alternately amusing and somber reflections of current events. While there's nothing in "Half-Blood Prince" to match the superbly chilling Dolores Umbridge, an acid satire on Britain's educational reformers from "Order of the Phoenix," here the echoes show an eerie sense of timing. Now that even the bureaucratic Ministry of Magic has finally admitted that Voldemort is back and can strike anywhere at any time, a rash of mysterious deaths and acts of violence have the wizard community spooked.
In the wizard world's version of the War on Terror, friends, neighbors, even relatives, might be under an "Imperius Curse," forced to secretly aid the schemes of Voldemort and his underlings, the Death Eaters. The newspapers are full of stories of unexpected and untimely deaths, the Leaky Cauldron tavern is deserted because people are afraid to leave their homes, and half the shops in Diagon Alley are shuttered, their windows plastered with posters listing the "simple security guidelines" that will "help protect you, your family and your home from attack." The Ministry of Magic hasn't really got a handle on the situation, but it has managed to arrest three harmless people, including the friendly driver of the Knight Bus, in order to convince citizens that it's doing something.
Harry, who was widely reviled at the beginning of "Order of the Phoenix" as a result of a snarky smear campaign in the Daily Prophet, is now heralded as the "Chosen One" who'll save the wizard world from its enemy. Girls fuss and giggle over him in the Hogwarts hallways, and the school's new teacher, a name-dropping networker par excellence, keeps inviting him to tea parties for the school's movers and shakers. (Ron Weasley, in case you're wondering, never gets asked.) Rowling parodied tabloid reporters with the Rita Skeeter character in "Goblet of Fire;" this time she shows us how alienating it can be when the people around you suddenly decide you're a celebrity.
This is also the year that Harry and his friends, now 16, graduate from awkward, abortive flirtations to something more like actual dating. Granted, the progress is bumpy and consummation is limited to snogging (these are still children's' books, after all). But Harry, recovered from his crush on Cho, experiences the first real stirrings of romantic love, an ordeal (when he witnesses the young lady in the arms of another) that feels like "something large and scaly erupted into life in his stomach, clawing at his insides." Perhaps even more troubling, what effect will the intrusions of love have on the once-invincible bond uniting Harry, Ron and Hermione?
Most of the middle section of the book deals with the agonies and ecstasies of adolescent social life. There's no mysterious magical menace stalking the halls of Hogwarts (at least, not according to anyone but Harry, who's obsessed with spying on his nasty fellow student, Draco Malfoy) and this makes "Half-Blood Prince" less suspenseful than the previous five books. The fantasy thread in this book is mostly taken up with Harry's private lessons with Hogwarts' headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, who at the end of "Order of the Phoenix," promised to stop treating Harry like a child and tell his student more about the anti-Voldemort campaign.
Dumbledore's lessons all concern the history of Tom Riddle (Voldemort's real name), which the two investigate via the Pensieve, a basin through which other peoples' memories can be entered. This fleshes out the back-story of the whole series, and answers a lot of questions that have no doubt been nagging hardcore fans. But it's exposition all the same, especially since Dumbledore is called upon to spell out the finer points to Harry. "He preferred to operate alone," he explains, dropping heavy hints about the qualities that will ultimately save Harry. "Lord Voldemort has never had a friend, nor do I believe that he has ever wanted one." Later, Dumbledore observes that even back in his Tom Riddle days, Voldemort liked to keep souvenirs of his bad deeds, a bit of analysis that makes the headmaster sound like a profiler describing a serial killer on a cop show.
What Voldemort's story will remind most readers of, however, is the Darth Vader bio-pics that are the most recent "Star Wars" films. Rowling's dark lord has gotten scarier since the days when nearly all her characters referred to him by such campy sobriquets as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and You-Know-Who. Exploring his past is one way to increase his gravitas. Another, in the later books, is Voldemort's power to violate the emotional connections that mean so much to Rowling's heroes. The more serious the Voldemort story line grows, the less smoothly it blends with the farcical school-daze scrapes Harry and his friends get into, the teapot tempests over homework, sweethearts, exams and Quidditch tournaments.
So it's no wonder that the middle of "Half-Blood Prince" seems a bit leisurely, all Dumbledore-directed flashbacks and Harry mediating in the jealous spats between Ron and Hermione. This is a transitional book, the one in which Rowling's readers are gently shown that much of what made them fall in love with her world — the sheltered adventure that is life at Hogwarts — has got to go. Negotiating it seems to have given her some trouble (how, for example, has Harry so thoroughly recovered from the teenage attitude problems that plagued him only a year ago in "Order of the Phoenix"?), but negotiate it she does.
What finally makes "Half-Blood Prince" work is Rowling's commitment to going beyond all the wildly popular and genuinely charming trademarks that no doubt make her feel safe as an author. There are relatively few fanciful new magical tricks or creatures introduced, and no wacky new characters. I wouldn't go so far as to say that with "Half-Blood Prince" Rowling has written a grown-up's novel, with all the refusal of easy comforts the label implies, but she's moving in that direction. And she's moving with absolute conviction, a force that can be just about irresistible in the hands of a talented writer. Like it or not, adulthood is the next stop for the Hogwarts Express.

During 1995 various events demonstrated the uncertainties facing libraries in a rapidly changing world. Two commonly held, but fully opposed, notions about libraries aptly articulated those uncertainties. One held that libraries serve a totemic function, that architecturally grand and massive library buildings stand as symbols of the wisdom and culture of the organizations that create them. The second notion stated that physical libraries would cease to exist; the library of the future would be a television set capable of retrieving all of the world's wisdom and culture through the Internet.
Supporting the totemic view was the 1995 dedication of the new Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia, that country's national library. The Kuala Lumpur facility employed architectural treatments, particularly in the shape of its blue roof, that reflected the cultural heritage of Malaysia. Reviled by Britain's Prince Charles and legions of others, and becoming a metaphor for national disarray, the new British Library at St. Pancras station was now--after some 30 years of work, delay, cost overruns, and controversy--completely visible. In 1995 some critics cautiously announced that the building may be not an architectural abomination but rather an exciting and edifying edifice. Meanwhile, across the English Channel, France rushed, nearly successfully, to complete the construction of the National Library of France during Pres. François Mitterrand's term of office because Mitterrand considered the library, located on the Left Bank of the Seine, to be a part of his legacy. The design employed four L-shaped glass towers, each resembling an open book. Reading areas were located below. The design outraged many bibliophiles because exposure to sunlight makes preservation of materials problematic.
The new public library in San Antonio, Texas, also caused architectural controversy; Denver, Colo., and Phoenix, Ariz., also opened new downtown central libraries in 1995. The New York Public Library celebrated its centennial on May 20 and in November announced the receipt of $15 million--the largest one-time benefaction in its history--to renovate the historic Main Reading Room. On the last day of the year, San Francisco's Main Library closed. The books would be moved to a new building across the street.
The Oklahoma City, Okla., downtown library was closed for just over a month following the explosion that devastated the nearby federal office building on April 19. The bomb blew out 90% of the library's windows as well as causing extensive ceiling damage on the upper floors.
Even as countries, cities, and universities built grand symbols of culture and learning, librarians worked to create an electronic future that might make those structures obsolete. Worldwide, budgets lagged behind demands for materials and services, and librarians, particularly in less-developed nations, knew that a computer and an Internet connection were less expensive than a large collection. North America and Western Europe continued to lead, but many of the fastest-growing computerized library networks were in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the Pacific.
Cooperative ventures abounded. The 1995 General Conference of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, held in August in Istanbul, focused on turning the global promise of the Internet into a reality. The European Union was funding projects that promoted resource sharing within and across borders. A record-breaking 13,178 paid registrants at the American Library Association's 114th annual conference in Chicago heard new ALA Executive Director Elizabeth Martinez announce "ALA Goal 2000," a five-year plan to position the association for the Information Age. In February the U.S. Library of Congress unveiled Thomas, a new computer system (named for Thomas Jefferson) giving citizens Internet access to information on the workings of Congress. The library came under attack when it closed an exhibit on slavery the day after it opened. Several black officers and staff members had complained.
Amid charges of a cover-up of recent book mutilations at the Library of Congress, the U.S. General Accounting Office planned to conduct a review of the library's management as well as oversee a federal investigation of the damage. Public library circulation in the U.S. showed a modest decline of 3% in 1994, while expenditures leveled off to keep pace with inflation, according to the annual University of Illinois survey. In the face of declining circulation and diminishing advertising revenues, the 81-year-old Wilson Library Bulletin ceased publication in June.
This updates the article library.

Originally written on SteelerAddicts | Last updated 11/11/14
With Big Ben's injury, the game on the road, and Baltimore performing well lately, there is not too much confidence in prediction markets that the Steelers can produce an upset. The SportsTradex.com prediction market is currently indicating that the Steelers have a 27% chance of winning the game on Sunday. The market had the Steelers at a higher chance of winning earlier this week before it was confirmed that Big Ben was definitively out this Sunday. Most oddsmakers have the Ravens as about a nine point favorite, which is roughly the same line of the Vikings-Packers game. While all of the attention has been on Big Ben's injury and Charlie Batch's ineffectiveness against the Browns, there are some aspects of the Steelers game that the trading market may not appreciate. Troy Polamalu and Antonio Brown will be back; two players that can make big plays and turn the game in favor of the Steelers.

- Adventure Travel
Zilker Park and Town Lake
Zilker Metropolitan Park is considered "Austin's most loved park," and I would have loved to have had more time to explore it's 321 acres. The park, planned in part by the National Park Service, is home to a variety of recreation opportunities including:
The Zilker Zephyr miniature train
Canoeing on Town Lake
A large multi-age playscape
Hiking and bicycle trails
Large full-service picnic areas
Volleyball courts
Disc golf course
Fields for soccer, rugby and multi-use

Take a Mini Train Ride through Zilker Park
For the kids...or just to act like a kid, take the mini Zilker Zypher train ride through Zilker Park. It's a leisurely 3-mile ride that passes under Barton Springs Road.
The Zilker Park train station is found on the south side of Barton Springs Road near the entrance to Barton Springs Pool.

ACL - Austin City Limits
ACL ROCKS! If you can make it to Austin for either ACL (Sept.) or SXSW (March), you'll have a wonderful oppurtunity to see some great up and coming bands. This year I got to see Modest Mouse, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Ryan Adams, Sheryl Crow, Howie Day, The Pixies, G. Love and Special Sauce, Endochine, Cake, and the list goes on and on. There were at least 130 bands, so you couldn't miss out! And the awsome thing about it, I volunteered this year, so I got in free and was behind the scenes for most of it. So bascially I got to see the bands up close and be back stage, plus get drinks for free and not pay $4 for beer. YEAH! :)
Zilker Park
Zilker Park is home to so many local attractions, including the Zilker Botanical Gardens, Barton Springs Pool, and the Umlauf Sculpture Garden. Be on the lookout for one of many community events and concerts in the park. The Austin City Limits Festival (ACL) take place at Zilker in September. The Trail of Lights (a mile of holiday light displays!) takes place in December. The Kite Festival takes place in March. That's just a few of the events that occur at Zilker Park, and they're all a blast. You can also go canoeing, kayaking, running, walking, frisbee tossing, etc. in the area. It's really a gem of a place in the middle of the city. It's one of the most important aspects of Austin, in my opinion. Austin seriously would not be the same without the 358 acres which constitutes Zilker Park.
- Kayaking
- Cycling
- Festivals
Zilker Park Center
If there's an epicenter to outdoor recreation in Austin, it's Zilker Park, just south of the Colorado River about half a mile west of Congress Ave. The park itself is a pleasant 8 acre (3ha) slot of green, lined with hiking and biking trails and home to a botanical garden, sculpture garden and museum. It's also the city's access point to Barton Springs natural swimming pool, the Barton Creek Greenbelt and the 60 acre (25ha) Zilker Nature Preserve. Inside the park, the Austin Nature Center has exhibitions of native mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians that have been injured and nursed back to health at the center.

Judge on leave; court order on Globe Asiatique housing scam stalled
SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga—The implementation of a Court of Appeals order quashing the charges of syndicated estafa against a Globe Asiatique (GA) officer, Cristina Sagun, and recalling the arrest warrant against her has been delayed because the judge handling the case has yet to report for work.
The court order could save fugitive housing developer and GA president Delfin Lee and three others from prison as they would be allowed to post bail if the charges are reduced to simple estafa.
Judge Maria Amifaith Fider-Reyes of the Pampanga Regional Trial Court Branch 42, who is supposed to implement the appellate court's Feb. 11 resolution, is on a five-day training course outside the province starting Feb. 18 and will not be back until Feb. 25.
It was Reyes who in May 2012 found probable cause to indict Sagun, the GA documentation chief, for syndicated estafa together with Lee, the latter's son Dexter, GA accountant Cristina Salagan and Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-Ibig Fund) lawyer Alex Alvarez.
They were accused of using fake and ghost Pag-Ibig Fund members to avail of P7 billion in housing loans for GA's Xevera projects in Bacolor and Mabalacat towns in Pampanga from 2008 to 2011.
President Aquino raised the reward for the arrest of Lee, who remains at large, to P2 million.
No probable cause
According to Lee's lawyer, Willie Rivera, only a temporary restraining order from the Supreme Court can stop Reyes from complying with the appellate court's order. "It should be immediately implemented," Rivera said.
With only four accused left, there is no more legal basis for syndicated estafa, he pointed out. The law requires five or more persons colluding to commit the crime of syndicated estafa.
"[There] is simply no probable cause to indict [Sagun] of the crime of syndicated estafa, nor is there sufficient evidence to prove her knowledge and/or participation in the alleged fraudulent acts of Globe Asiatique and its officers," Associate Justice Angelita Gacutan wrote in the Feb. 11 resolution upholding her Oct. 5, 2012, resolution.
Sagun, she said, was "only guilty of not exercising her functions diligently and in a prudent manner."
But the Department of Justice said it would pursue the syndicated estafa case and take the case to the Supreme Court.
The United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) has been harping on the Pag-Ibig Fund controversy, using it to attack Marikina Rep. Romero Quimbo, a former Pag-Ibig Fund president and chief executive officer who is now the Team PNoy spokesperson.
Being in LP a burden
Quimbo said his membership in the ruling Liberal Party did not give him immunity from any suit that may arise from the alleged scam.
"Membership in the LP, unlike other parties, serves as a burden to conduct oneself beyond reproach and follow the example of [President Aquino]," he said.
"From the beginning, I have always been strong in my condemnation of the fraud that Delfin Lee brought on the Pag-Ibig Fund and its members," Quimbo said.
He claimed that the reported irregularities occurred after he was replaced as Pag-Ibig president and CEO in March 2009.—Tonette Orejas
