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...

http://ombudsgod.blogspot.com/2002_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 29, 2002. NEXT THEY’LL BE ISSUING ORANGE JUMPSUITS. THE DOG THAT DIDN’T BARK. An important news item was broken by The Washington Post on a Friday evening and received little or no play in the nation’s newspapers. Here’s a brief version:. 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, ...

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...

Sawyer Library: The people and the places
http://wclwebteam.blogspot.com/2011/01/people-and-places.html
Tuesday, January 4, 2011. The people and the places. It has always been this column's mission, if not always its accomplishment, to poke around the city's cultural corners and tell you about the people and the places that share those often-ignored spaces. There were John Higgins and Jason Court, painter and actor respectively, who played good samaritans when they chased-and caught-a man who had just stolen a woman's fur from an Ontario Street saloon called Howard's. There was local filmmaker John McNaugh...

Thursday, February 21, 2002. SOMEONE IN FINLAND GETS IT, TOO. Finnish blogger Teemu Lehtonen reports on pro-invasion commentary carried in the pages of a local newspaper, Ilta-Sanomat.
