It got terribly exciting at about 7.45am when there was a simul-cast,
so to speak, on Radio when they plugged the cheese in more ways than
one. Two in fact.
Easy.

i’m not sure i completely agree with his solution, but it’s an
interesting read:

it appears to me that the way digg users *want* it to work is that
‘active’
members are more valuable than the occasional clicker [or paid-for
farms of cheap labour boosting content to the front page...]
i think you need a variable for the ‘quantity of community
engagement’ in there too…
in a way its very reminiscent of the labjukebox ‘karma’ system…

‘Surgeon stole my bum’
A German belly dancer has been awarded £12,000 compensation after a
plastic surgeon accidentally sucked away one of her buttocks.
Julia ‘Cleopatra’ Meyer, 38, from Munich, wanted slimmer thighs and
instead ended up with half her bum missing.
The court heard that during the liposuction the plastic surgeon, not
named, from a private clinic, had removed fat from her right buttock
instead of her thighs.
She said: “I had been unhappy with my saddlebags, the fat stored in
the outer thigh area. Because of the local anaesthesia I did not
realise what he was doing.
“When I saw afterwards that half of my bum was missing I almost
fainted. It had been completely sucked away.”
A consultant at the Berlin Charité hospital asked for an expert
opinion said it was a “grave error in treatment”.
The court heard the woman can no longer perform. She does not even
dare to go to a swimming pool because she is ashamed of the way she
looks.
The surgeon has been ordered to pay her £12,000 – twice the £6,000
she had been seeking.
