"Quote of the Dav"
"Google, combined with WiFi, is a little bit like God. God is wireless, God is everywhere and God sees and knows everything. Throughout history, people connected to God without wires. Now, for many questions in the world, you ask Google, and increasingly, you can do it without wires, too."
Man Cohen, a vice president of Airespace, Wi-Fi provider
Former president Bill Clinton was inducted to the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame as an honorary member in 2002. Once described by author Toni Morrison as "our first black president," Clinton said at the induction ceremony, "Thanks to you, I now have proof."

CORRECTION
An article in Thursday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article "Revue Kicks Off" should have said that the show has 250 participants, with 50 participants performing in each group.
Thursday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. An On Campus entry incorrectly identified the sponsor of a Brazilian Week activity. The Brazilian Student Association sponsored the activity.

What do you get when you combine a '60s sound, classic rock, and country music? The band Red Guitar.
Red Guitar is a fusion of all of these flavors of music, creating a mellow, catchy new sound that draws inspiration from Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles and Tom Petty. See this new Kansas City-based band on Saturday at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., with Cory Morrow beginning at 8 p.m.
Brazilian week culminates with the Brazilian Carnival at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., on Saturday starting at 9 p.m. If you enjoy dancing to exotic and fast-paced Latin-American beats, this is where you should be Saturday night. Another dancing event is "I Love the '90s (Part Deux)" at the new Ole Tapas Bar, 1008 Massachusetts St. Other happenings around Lawrence on Saturday night include The Esoteric, Kelpie, and White Whale playing at 8 p.m. at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., and The

Other bands that will be playing in Lawrence tonight include Dogme 95, Puppet Town, Marmots, and Electric Needle Room. These four rock bands will be at the Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St. With a cover charge of $4, that's just $1 per band, which is a hard deal to beat.

Fundraiser planned for lost pooch
NEWYORK - Supporters of Vivi, an awardwinning show dog who escaped from a travel cage at the airport on the way home from the Westminster Kennel Club show, have planned a fundraising event to help find her.
The 3-year-old whippe, whose formal name is Champion Bohem C'est La Vie, apparently bolted from her carrier at John F Kennedy International Airport as she was about to be loaded onto a plane for the flight to Southern California on Feb. 15.
She has not been seen since, despite extensive search efforts by volunteers, the Port Authority of NewYork and New Jersey, which runs the region's airports, and her owners, Jil Walton and Paul Lepiane.

Town under speed trap investigation
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — After Nashville motorist T. Allen Morgan got a speeding ticket in Coopertown, he tried to pay his ticket like a good citizen.

Crosby told Morgan that he had to either write another check that didn't have the words "for speed trap" written in bold letters or face the charges in traffic court.

Ahh, the power of nachos
The TBI is investigating whether Crosby acted illegally by denying Morgan's payment. The town generates nearly 30 percent of its revenue from traffic tickets. AAA officials are considering adding Coopertown to its list of national "strict enforcement areas"
