| Relegation a threat as Newcastle sink lower
When you lose a game you know you should win maybe it's twice as disappointing," Keegan said. Hughes believes Keegan will guide Newcastle out of their tailspin, which has seen his seven matches in charge yield five defeats and two draws. In pics: Premier League actionFootball fans' forum"I'm surprised there hasn't been a Keegan effect on the pitch, though there has been a fantastic effect on the surrounding area," Hughes said. "The scenes you saw when he was appointed prove that. Maybe it hasn't quite happened on the pitch yet, but it's only a matter of time. But the longer they go without a positive result, the more tension and apprehension there will be. I'm sure they'll have enough to stay up." .
Update: Library Has 10 Copies of "Water for Elephants"
Librarian Bette Ammon e-mailed a few minutes ago to say that "Water the Elephants," the first selection for the new Huckleberries Online Book Club, arrived at the library Friday. They'll be available this evening. Three are reserved, including one by me. Seven others will be available. The library's open now, if you want to reserve a copy. Bette's also preparing some guidelines to help us get started on this adventure. P.S., I just finished reading Slavomir Raciwz "The Long Walk" and recommend it highly. It's a true story about 7 desperate prisoners who break out of a Communist prison in Siberia at the outbreak of World War II, in the dead of winter, and succeed in walking all the way to India, through the Gobi Desert and over the Himalayas. Easy read. Incredible story about man's desire to be free.
Bill Clinton's Impenetrable Press Strategy
Michelle Obama and Elizabeth Edwards do not. Turn the page. Ignore him since he is not conducting himself appropriately as a former President. Treat him exactly like you would treat Michelle or Elizabeth -- just the ordinary "supportive" spouse he claims he is. Don't show up where he is. Don't take his calls. Don't take the Clinton Campaign's calls if it has anything to do w/the Bill Clinton, SPOUSE. He isn't running the Nation and has violated (again) all sense of propriety, so IGNORE HIM...and focus instead on Hillary Clinton. Then, you won't have to be reduced to his basing in your face and finger wagging...like children. Oops! I forgot, the "child" identity is Mr. Obama's. Nice. .

Pictures Reveal Truth About Japan’s ‘Scientific’ Whaling
New pictures expose the gory reality of Japan's so-called "scientific" whale hunt in the Southern Ocean, with a slaughtered adult minke whale and calf being hauled on board a Japanese factory ship. The release of the photos marks a significant shift in whaling politics, for they were taken not by the environmental activists who spent much of January harassing the whalers on their Antarctic hunt but by officials working for the Australian government. They were put into the public domain by the eco-friendly administration of the new Labor premier, Kevin Rudd, accompanied by withering comments from Australian ministers. For a government to become so strongly involved raises the stakes considerably in a dispute in which most of the international community is ranged against Japan.
