- Day Two of the Republican Convention, and this Toledo Blade article has more on the extended families of the President and Vice-President. Showing how the women have changed since the 2000 convention, reporter Ann McFeatters tells us "Laura Bush's hair is now red; their two daughters, Jenna and Barbara, are no longer off limits to the media but are often photographed partying late into the night in Manhattan or working the campaign trail. The Cheneys now speak openly about their gay daughter, Mary. Both wives and all four daughters now feel comfortable speaking out about policy". |

- Sandra Vitale's book "True Desires"is based on her experiences of being married to a gay man, but not knowing about his sexual preference until many years into the marriage. Vitale, who penned the book one year ago as "Sandra B. Drosian" works in a library in Suffolk County NY. Since her book was written, The Straight Spouse Network has evolved, with branches throughout the country offering support to 'straight' spouses. "There were lots of books for gay people but not for straight spouses. |

- Here from the Marin (CA) Independent Journal is a story about how to keep students listening to the teacher when the temptations of technology are beeping, buzzing and beckoning all around. With cell phones and laptops vying for attention, teachers are fighting back.

- The AP reports today that First Lady and librarian Laura Bush is more popular than the President. Last week in Albuquerque, NM, before the welcoming cheers had subsided, Bush told supporters he was sorry that his wife was not there. "Today I'm going to give you some reasons why I think you ought put me back in there, but perhaps the most important one of all is so that Laura will be first lady for four more years," Bush said to applause. Laura Bush's prominence and popularity in Bush's re-election effort will be on display Tuesday night, when the first lady addresses the Republican convention in prime time, her topic Tuesday night, "the compassion of the American people," reflects the understated tone. Note to the AP editors: |

- With new security measures in place, the United Talmud Torah school in Montreal that was attacked by a firebomb last April, has now reopened for the school year. The library which suffered the brunt of the attack is continuing to be re-built and is expected to be re-opened at the end of October, said school director Sidney Benudiz. Thousands of books, mostly English fiction, were donated after the incident. The library, which also offered books in French and Hebrew, is still in the process of ordering books in those languages. Sympathy messages and donations of cash and books poured in from across Canada and around the world following news of the firebombing at the school. |

- Here from the Jacksonville Herald is a report of how the small Nixon Library is dealing with repercussions from a roof leak due to a clogged drain. Workers removed more than 1,000 gallons of water from the drain. The leak was the latest breakdown of the 30-year-old building. Eariler this year, the air conditioning system, which was installed within the last two years, broke. “With as old as this building is, things like this are going to continue to happen,†assistant librarian Amy Miller said. |

- As most librarians probably have wished at one time or another, Librarian Susan Berryman of Blissfield MI made a fantastic discovery in an unused storage room in her tiny library--four volumes on ancient Egypt, a 1887 first edition by Samuel Augustus Binion, "Ancient Egypt or Mizrai". The folio has an estimated value of as much as $6,000, according to Katharine Kyes Leab, editor-in-chief of American Book Prices Current, a Connecticut-based organization that tracks the value of old and rare books. Mrs. Berryman said the library board had considered selling the volumes to pay for items that might be pulled out a bit more frequently than once every five decades. But she said the board has instead decided to keep the volumes and display some of the images on the library walls. |

- About 650 people lined up on a two-mile route for a ceremonial move of the last book from the old Tinley Park (IL) Public Library to the new one. The book that made the journey was "The Library," a children's story. Retired Tinley Park librarian Mary Lou Seery who had the honor of being the first in the chain commented If you think about what a library costs in taxes, it's minimal in comparison to the resources that you get for it. The people who work here are dedicated and work for less money than they could make in the private world. On the whole, I think that libraries are the most important resource we have. |

- Even though the Arizona state legislature is looking at legislation that would mandate filtering, the Phoenix is looking to make it illegal for patrons to request filter disabling at the city level. While there are tons of "libraries looking at filtering options" stories this one about Phoenix's library system is interesting for this statement from the Arizona Republic: Other cities, such as San Francisco and Salt Lake City, have opted to forgo federal funding to keep computers filter-free. Officials in Des Plaines, Ill., recently enacted what some say is a very creative solution: |

- Har lige flyttet mit navigator bibliotek fra en win98 ti windows 2000 maskine, når jeg prøver at eksekvere Navi.exe siger den at et program prøver at skrive direkte til harddisken om man vil forsætte eller ej(eller noget i den retning), man har så mulighederne LUK eller IGNORRER. Vælger man ignorrer starter navigator bare som det skal. Det må jo være Windows 2000 der driller der, nogen der ved hvordan man kommer over det problem, det er rimlig irriterende :-) Lars |

Gig news (Aug 31 2004 12:57 GMT) - Some friends of mine have invited me to play at Mars Hill Cafe (on Church St, Parramatta - near Riverside Theatre) on Saturday night. I'll be doing a 45 minute set at about 9pm I'd guess. I have one brand new track I'm hoping to play for the first time (if I can get the lyrics finished in time), plus two tracks that I've only played once or twice before - so it should be a lot of fun (well - it always is for me). |
