What did they say?

The Iowa Caucus is over. The results are in. What are the newspapers saying about the results?

In GALILEO the Ebsco database Newspaper Source has articles with the dateline 2 Jan 2008. That's no help.

A trip to Lexis Nexis with a search limited to todays date (4 Jan 2008) pulled up 514 articles. There are interesting things being said by all the pundits on why and what is next!

Judge not

Students and faculty are coming back. I went looking for information on the common cold. I'm hoping to ward off a winter illness.

A search in Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition for "common cold" pulled up 392 articles. The articles are in date order (newest at the top of the list).

The most current (Dec 2007) article "Partied too much? Tummy-soothing tricks" is about colds but the title seems to be more appropriate after New Years Eve partying:

The article presents information on preventing stomachache. It discusses an imbalance of bacteria in the digestive system as the cause of gastrointestinal distress. It suggests avoiding the combination of alcohol and holiday sweets, avoiding antibiotics as treatment for common colds, and taking a daily dose of probiotics. It discusses the benefits of prebiotics and probiotics and offers a listing of fortified products.

Judging an article by the title is like judging a book by the cover. Dig into the article before dismissing it over the title.

2008 has begun

The library is open, a few faculty are on campus, a few new students are wandering about.

Tomorrow (January 3) is open registration, advisement and orientation.

The Winter Quarter begins on Monday, January 7.
