| Too cool for schoolies
Students who volunteer must make a commitment that embraces the whole of their year 12. They pledge to raise the money for their airfares and expenses and enough money to cover the cost of building the houses and classroom. The members of this year's group have been industrious. Daniel Rodway, 18, was the guest speaker at a dinner arranged by his uncle and aunt, Peter and Nicole Rodway. They held it in their home and guests paid $50 a couple. Money went towards building a new house. Before they flew out of Melbourne after their VCE exams, the students raised $20,000. Many of Daniel's mates headed to Queensland as he boarded the flight to India for his first overseas adventure. "The idea of travelling and seeing a foreign country attracted me more," he said.

Barnsley 0-0 Chelsea
He still manages to get in a shot which Cudicini does well to block with his legs. This is good stuff from Barnsley. 43 min: A really strange match, this. Long periods of absolutely bugger all to report, then the odd burst of hectic activity. Of which this isn't one. Still, it's better than Middlesbrough v Sheffield United. Chewing tin foil while being shot in the face would be better than Middlesbrough v Sheffield United. Here, in the absence of fun, allow us to SEXX YA UP. "Short shorts are essential apparel for 2008," pants Russell Child. "Gone are the days of Peter Beardsley, Kevin Keegan and Joe Jordan. Football players are much more attractive now. Let Fernando Torres and Ronaldo lead the way." Not everyone, however, is in the mood to see football's sexface. "Can you please stop eroticising Joe Cole," pleads Julian Menz.
Obama, Clinton campaigns tout vigorous volunteer efforts in Central ...
Austin-area volunteers for Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton are doing far more than the typical telephoning of voters at dinner time. Although phone banks in their Texas campaign headquarters buzz morning till night, such calling is supplemented by unusual electronic outreach, a mix of e-mail and personalized social networking via MeetUp groups and Web sites. Also, the campaigns are coaching thousands of people to hand out information at the polls Tuesday and to participate in primary-night caucuses. .
O2: iPhone is our fastest-selling device
Ever since launch reports suggested the iPhone was selling poorly in the UK, carrier O2 has made sure to periodically let everyone know that the iPhone sales situation isn't as dire as it was made out to be. The company has also been sweetening the deal for iPhone owners by adding extra minutes and features to iPhone plans. According to O2's latest earnings report (covered by Fortune), the iPhone is the carrier's fastest-selling device, and it's getting high marks for customer satisfaction as well. The carrier has proffered the iPhone as the reason why it had such a good 2007 holiday quarter. Sales were up 9.5 percent overall and the carrier attracted 483,000 new customers, including 276,000 new customers with contracts. O2 didn't release any specific sales numbers as part of its earnings report, but the carrier did say that the iPhone is its fastest-selling device in the UK.

Sketch: MA Bell for President
Obviously," the candidate answered, "I was there for a lot of phone calls at different times of the day and night, and I have a very clear idea of what it takes to be prepared and ready to not only answer the phone but then to make the decisions." Sorry to break in on this party line, but here's an important announcement for Democrats: You are doing John McCain's work for him. While the presumptive Republican nominee rests, the two remaining Democratic candidates are working as hard as they can to make each other appear unfit to lead. "Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign, I will bring a lifetime of experience, and Senator Obama will bring a speech he gave in 2002," a derisive Clinton said yesterday to the retired military officers at the Westin in Dupont Circle.
Is indecency running rampant in our shopping malls?
Imagine that you're out with your teenage children and suddenly see a young woman walking nearby, completely topless except for one strategically-placed hand. Or some guys and girls run by, and one has clearly had his pants and underwear completely off - he's pulling them up, but you can see most of his backside. Or perhaps a half-dozen good-looking women strut by in nothing but underwear and high heels. Many observers would be irritated or shocked; some might even be angry enough at the young woman to report her for indecent exposure. But while these incidents would violate any local statute for indecency or partial public nudity, most of us would probably shrug them off as a momentary or isolated incidents. So why do we shrug it off when retailers take those same images, blow them up larger than life, and put them in hundreds of malls and teenage clothing stores around the country? The pictures currently in the windows of Abercrombie & Fitch and Victoria's Secret contain the exact images described above, and would violate public indecency standards in person.
