Library closed due to white supremacists

This article regarding a white supremacists rally in Somerville, MA leaves me with some questions. It seems that the group reserved a library room under another name and when the cops found out they closed the library.

“There was no way we could ensure the safety of the patrons in the library,” Bradley said. “For security reasons, we decided just to close the library down. We did give them an alternate location in the parking lot.”

The question I have is whether the library was involved or not in this decision. The article leaves this information out along with any comment from anyone associated with the library.

Starbucks as verb

I read the article“Is RSS Not The Next Big Thing” due to my interest in RSS. However, I’m blogging it due to the following line:

“Last week when I Starbucked with Dave Winer, he emphatically said that “we” don’t have to push RSS more mainstream.”

My question is this: since when did the act of meeting someone at a Starbucks become the verb “Starbucked”?

Airlines say fliers eating up snack boxes

Thinking about buying a “snack box” on a flight. Well they seem to be popular but “they’re giving you a meal’s worth of calories and providing you with no nutritional value”.

It seems that Grokker is now available online using the Yahoo! Search database. Previously the Grokker interface was only available as a purchasable software package.
