Long live the public library (Jan 09 2004 20:58 GMT) - In my early teens, I used to borrow around a hundred books a year from my local library in Withington in south Manchester. Then, in my late teens and early twenties, I almost lived in libraries - especially Central Library in St Peter's Square in Manchester - as I found the quiet and the text books that I needed for my school and university studies. For decades now, however, I've not set foot in a library because I like to own the books I read and use and I am fortunate enought to be able... |

Sénégal [opinion]: Au nom de tous les nôtres (Jan 09 2004 20:58 GMT) - Nous l'avons demandée à cor et à cris, cette adresse à la Nation, et nous l'avons eue. Le président de la République a eu raison de sortir de sa réserve. Cette réserve qui, en taisant les dérives violentes et insécurisantes, taisait de facto leur condamnation. Il était important que les Sénégalais entendent la réaffirmation des principes et l'énoncé formel d'une condamnation forte. |

Dave on Crossroads on Friday (Jan 09 2004 20:57 GMT) - Dave Matthews and Emmylou Harris will be performing together on CMT's Crossroads on Friday evening. This monthly TV show pairs up a country artist with an artist from another genre for a performance interlaced with discussion. The show was taped on November 7th in New York City, in front of an invitation-only audience. This is not the first Crossroads effort: Dave Matthews Band was paired with The Dixie Chicks in May of last year, but it never happened, due to logistical problems. |

Dave on Cover of Rolling Stone (Jan 09 2004 20:57 GMT) - For the third time in his career, Dave Matthews is featured on the cover of the newest Rolling Stone. He is the subject of a feature article on the topics of Some Devil, his upcoming appearance in Because of Winn-Dixie, plans for the next DMB album, and more. The band was long ignored by Rolling Stone, reportedly due to an editor that simply didn't like their music. Beginning with the leak of the Lillywhite Sessions, however, Rolling Stone just can't get enough of DMB, and has found plenty of occasions to write about them. |

Improving, improving (Jan 09 2004 20:57 GMT) - I woke up at 3:30am this morning, and tried in vain to fall asleep again. When I eventually did, I slept right through my scheduled wake up at four, and finally only got up at 5:35am. I didn't have time to study, so just stumbled my way to school. |
