The Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe is one of my favorite podcasts. It’s funny, informative, goofy, but most importantly goes right to the heart of a lot of issues important to the critical thinker.

If you have tried unsuccessfully to find a book or journal volume in the library stacks, it is possible that it may have been sent to the Library Annex in late summer of 2009. InfoHawk r ecords are being updated to indicate which books are in that facility and a retrieval service will enable you to have them brought back to campus for your use. While we are in the process of updating InfoHawk , it may be necessary to use our Interlibrary Loan services to get access to some needed titles until this work has been completed. This situation came about through a series of events resulting from 2008 flood and the recent economic downturn. The flood of 2008 required us to move the Music and Art Libraries temporarily into the already overcrowded Main Library. To make matters worse, the recent economic downturn deferred indefinitely the construction of a planned collection storage facility.

If you have considered cleaning out your garage and parking your car within its covered, warm walls to keep your vehicle out of the weather, you may cringe. As you think of organizing boxes of clothes, seasonal decorations, furniture and all the exiled items you have removed from your living space but held on to for one reason or another it may be enough to make you closed the garage door tightly and vow to never open it again. Many of us are kicking ourselves for pushing this weekend project back when the first few flecks of snow started to fall yesterday. By the time we realized that the morning would mean shoveling, scraping car windows and letting our cars run for a few minutes before we got it, it was too late to clear out the garage and find room to keep our cars in them

Jeremy Ben-Ami, J Street’s Executive Director, published the following op-ed in The Jerusalem Post this morning. Being Israel’s ambassador Being an Israeli ambassador these days can’t be easy. On the one hand, you’re working for a prime minister whose strong suit is public relations, who at least talks of peace with the Palestinians and who has consistently judged that engaging in the diplomatic process rather than refusing to talk plays better with domestic and international audiences.
