Dianne Watts wins in Surrey

SURREY/CKNW(AM980) - Vancouver's not the only major city with a new Mayor.

Watts' new Council will consist of Bob Bose, Judy Villeneuve, Judy Higginbotham, Marvin Hunt, Barbara Steele, Tom Gill, Linda Hepner and Mary Martin.

McCallum, who currently Chairs the Translink Board, has been a strong supporter of the controversial plan to twin the Port Mann Bridge.

He's also been criticized for how he handled an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against a senior manager at City Hall.

Surrey's six School Trustees are Pam Glass, Terry Allen, Shawn Wilson, Reni Masi, Heather Stilwell and Wayne Jefferson.

Track weblogs and monitor opinions

by fred on Sun 13 Nov 2005 11:46 PM PST

Weblogs have increasingly become an indispensable part of a complete understanding of online current awareness. As news breaks across the traditional offline and online media outlets, the weblog community offers discussion and opinions that add human context to events.

Tracking weblogs can also be a very effective tool for monitoring unsolicited consumer opinions across a wide range of topics. Bloggers write about the subjects and products that matter most to them, and whether expressing positive or negative opinions, understanding and analyzing their output can be an extremely valuable tool.

Lying And Memes

Source link: Lying And Memes

The word and concept *meme* has been much tossed about for the past couple of years in the blogosphere. And what it means or doesn't actually mean has been much discussed.

I think that the growing awareness of what many of us have believed for a while ... that *they* LIED TO US ... is now possibly becoming a meme. There are thousands of blog posts providing variations on the theme, hundreds of mainstream media stories - even a chuckle-inducing Economist cover showing Dubya being blown into a tattered state by the ill winds of truth.

And then there's James howard Kunstler of Clusterfuck nation, in a rant of epic proportions titled They Lied To Us.

Enjoy.
