Library events planned
The third annual “Edible Car Contest" will be held beginning at 6:30 p.m. Families are encouraged to come, build an edible car, race it down the track and see which car travels the farthest. A variety of edible products will be provided but if you have a great idea, it is recommended that you bring it, as there is no guarantee we will think of the same thing. The car must be built and have moving parts. Last year, we received a very nice donation to create a lecture series encouraging the community to make informed decisions about their lives, their community and their world on progressive topics. To kickoff the series we have scheduled a debate among the three main DFL candidates for United States Senate, Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, Mike Ciresi, and Al Franken. Mark your calendars now for Feb. 11 at 7 p.m.

The Circuit
Marble, inlaid gold and Swarovsky crystal were the design details of choice (bling!). After all, let’s not forget this is a palace. Fancy a spot of Falconry before high tea? Or a round of Dune Driving? How about some Sand Skiing? Or would you rather just admire a corral of camels as you sip iced cocktails on the sand under a fully furnished Arabian tent? More Than Three Wishes Absolutely no expense was spared; the attitude of the festival seemed to be: "You Want It, You Got It." Be careful of what you wish for – as I learned during one luxurious twenty-person dinner on a verandah overlooking the beach. I casually mentioned my disappointment in having missed the screening of a particular film, and before the words were fully out of my mouth, Bassem Kudsi (pictured), Head of Communications for the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage, whipped out his cell phone and arranged a private screening for the next morning – which was going to seriously cut into my scheduled poolside schmoozing.

Victoria Election Poll Vault Weblog
Meanwhile, Mr Tully's defended the sexy, new, electronic tally board that few people in the tally room could actually read last night. (ABC Radio's Jon Faine was sitting behind the mic with binoculars while hosting the election coverage!) "It's easier to read than the old wooden tally boards - all you need to do is get up close," Mr Tully said. "And there are no other problems of people gripping on by their teeth at the top of the scaffolding." Get up close, hey? The Poll Vault team woke up suffering from very sore necks this morning. .
Teachers leave Houghton for classrooms on Alaskan island
Literally it is right in the middle, but it's also where people go for their recreation," Nikki Lishinski said. Movies are shown there. School carnivals are a big draw. Sometimes, the school has Pizza Hut pizzas flown in for fund-raisers and these command hefty prices. "People will pay $25 for a pizza, easily," Williams said. Crowds come out for high school basketball games, too, though the Sea Parrots have to be creative to find opponents so far from the mainland. "The high school basketball team will play the Coast Guard, they'll play the teachers," Steve Lishinski said. The big rivalry is with the Seal Pups, the team from St. George. "The competitive spirit is definitely there," Steve Lishinski said.
He’s not the best, but Bush not worst president either
Many will debate Mr. Bush's place in history in the year ahead. If commentary from recent years is any indication, the consensus will not be good. Indeed, many will proclaim him to be the worst president of all time. Such talk is silly for two reasons. First, pitting the presidents against each other in the search of some overall performance quotient is a horribly inexact science. Second, any assessment of Mr. Bush's legacy at this juncture can be nothing but tentative. Most of us (including yours truly) are not history majors. Many people, including those who say Mr. Bush is the worst president of all time, could not even come close to naming each of the White House's 42 occupants. And if they can, far fewer still could spend more than five seconds talking about the accomplishments and records of guys like Millard Fillmore and Benjamin Harrison.
