| Building Stonehenge - This Man can Move Anything |
 |
Wally Wallington has demonstrated that he can
lift a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing
22,000 lbs and moved a barn over 300 ft. What
makes this so special is that he does it
using only himself, gravity, and his
incredible ingenuity.

| Building Academic Library 2.0 |
 |
Academic Library 2.0 Keynote Speaker:
Meredith Farkas, Distance Learning Librarian
Norwich University, Northfield
A Conference sponsored by the Librarians
Association of the University of California,
Berkeley Division
Once a symbolic bastion of traditional
accumulations of specialized knowledge,
today's academic library operates in an
information landscape grown increasingly
variegated and difficult to traverse.
Paradoxically, at the same time, data,
information, knowledge, cultural production,
and scholarship are far more accessible,
appropriable, and manipulable than ever
before. New media attract widespread
attention, more pliable technologies emerge
with increasing frequency, and--most
importantly--young generations of students
and faculty with aptitudes, skills, and
expectations borne of a world massively
defined by the Internet and its progeny are
populating the halls of academe.
The convergence of the once distinct
technological and social meanings of the term
"network" is evident in the rise of
communities of remote collaborations among
friends, acquaintances, students, and
researchers. These developments compel
academic libraries to consider how best to
apply new technologies to suit users' demands
and to satisfy their institutional and
educational missions.
The Academic Library 2.0 conference will
address the phenomenon of academic libraries
taking affirmative steps to deploy
technologies and services that facilitate
users' virtually instant connection to
diverse sources of knowledge and information,
as well as to help users directly contribute
form and substance to those sources.

| Sarah McLachlan - Building A Mystery |
 |
You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way?
You're so beautiful
With an edge and charm
but so careful
When I'm in your arms
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin
You're a beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Ooh you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You're building a mystery
