NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - Nicole Delameter has learned to be more judicious when selecting a parking spot.
When Circuit Judge Stanley Mills arrived for work Monday, Delameter's 1990 Oldsmobile was parked in his reserved space at the courthouse. So he parked his 2005 Cadillac behind her car and forced her to sit in his courtroom until he was ready to leave.
"There's two perks to the job," the judge said. "I have my own bathroom, and I have my own parking spot, and you're not going to get to use either."
Spanish police officers accidentally shown porn
MADRID, Spain — One-hundred-and-twenty Madrid police officers settling in for a video presentation on how to get promoted to sergeant were instead shown footage of hard-core pornography.
Computer technicians blamed the glitch on a Trojan Horse computer virus that activated when the computer containing the video was turned on, a ministry official said.
Man stopped shaving until Bin Laden caught
EPHRATA, Wash. — After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Gary Weddle followed the news so closely he forgot to shave. After a week he decided not to shave until Osama bin Laden was caught or killed.
Nor has Weddle, 46, who expected the al-Qaida leader to be caught within a month or so, trimmed his facial hair in the succeeding five years as he went from substitute teacher to science instructor at Ephrata Middle School.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE NEW FEATURES ON FACEBOOK?
BY MATT ERICKSON
"I think it's kind of obnoxious. For me, Facebook was something where I didn't have to pay attention all the time, not like MySpace. I wasn't interested enough to pay attention to what everybody's doing all the time."
JORDAN SEMBLER Overland Park sophomore
"I read what the creator said. He didn't mean to have it so stalkerish. They've put in privacy controls. If you don't want people to know what you're doing all the time, you should be able to keep them from doing that."
COLIN WEBER
Lenexa sophomore
"I hate it. It's a lot easier for people to stalk you. I didn't notice the News Feed at first, but it's pretty bad. They should change it back."
EMILY MUSKIN Omaha, Neb., junior
MARY WEBER Atchison junior
"I don't really like it, personally. It just invades your privacy."
AMANDA RIVERA Shawnee freshman
"Oh, God, I hated them at first. I thought it was really stalkerish. At first, I couldn't believe they wouldn't let you take them off. I like that he wrote the letter. Now I'm OK with it."
Sounds twice as nice
Piano service consultant Tom Kaplan is reflected in the top as he adjusts the keys of a nine-foot Yamaha CF31- S concert grand piano Wednesday at Senseney Music, Inc, in Wichita. The flagship $150,000 grand piano, one of about 300 owned by Yamaha for touring concert musicians, will be the first in the nation to be used by music students and faculty at Wichita State University when it is not being used for concerts.

An article in Wednesday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. For the article "KU makes strong showing for Big 12, nine women pose for Playboy spread," the photo should have been credited to Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN, and the outline should have said "Loni Berry, Topeka senior, signs her photograph, which appeared in this year's October issue of Playboy, for KU students outside the Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Rd., Tuesday afternoon. Nine KU women appeared in the magazine as part of Playboy's Big 12 feature in its annual college edition."
Today's Sex on the Hill did not correctly credit several photos. The cover photo illustration should have been credited to Jared Gab, the photos on page 9C should have been credited to Amanda Sellers and the photo illustration on page 6C should have been credited as such.

DIAGNOSTICS
KU Public Safety officers responded to a report of an inattentive driver who smashed through a section of curb in the 1300 block of Oread. Debris flew 20 feet away, and the car slid down an embankment before coming to rest against a retaining wall. The Public Safety office said the driver had not noticed that the road ended, and wet roads contributed to the car's inability to stop in time.
