Police: Drunken driving suspect pulled self over SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio can’t take too much credit for stopping a woman they say was drinking and driving — they say she pulled herself over. Officers in the Lake Erie town of Sandusky say the woman stopped because she thought she saw police lights, but it turns out the flashing lights were from a skating rink sign. The Sandusky Register reports that the woman’s car got stuck in a snowbank near the sign when she stopped early Monday and another motorist called police. Officers say they took 27-year-old Nicole Scott to jail on charges of operating a vehicle under the influence. Police say Scott denied she had been driving. There is no telephone listing for Scott and it isn’t clear whether she has an attorney. ■

Giraffes in a boat? 8 taken to Kenyan island NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Eight giraffes got a very rare ride to their new home — in a boat. The endangered Rothschilds giraffes were ferried by barge toa reserve on an island in Kenya’s Lake Baringo earlier this week. Conservation leaders built a small pen on the barge that was covered in plastic sheeting. Only the giraffes’ necks could be seen sticking out above the pen as they moved across the lake. There are four females and four males in the group, and conservation leaders hope they will reproduce, said Elodie Sampere of the Northern Rangelands Trust. If the giraffes thrive, more may be taken to the island. Rothschilds giraffes — also known as Baringo giraffes, after the lake murphy byrne/ The Vanderbilt Hustler — are listed as endangered. Only a few hundred remain in the wild. ■ Students involved in the Living Learning Community VIP program showcase their years work Tuesday night in The Commons Center.

Beginning last year in Iran, and more recently springing up in Tunisia, Egypt, and Yemen, mass street protests have been making headlines. As dictators fall, the stakes are raised in this generation’s bid for democratic reforms in the Middle East. In a departure from the typical pattern of the coup d’état, with one strongman replacing another, change in the Middle East now seems to be fought out in the streets. Is change coming from the bottom up? Does victory now go to those best able to network and organize protests? Join a panel of Vanderbilt faculty as they discuss these and other issues around the recent protests.

Turn back the clock at New York fashion week By Booth Moore Los Angeles Times (MCT) NEW YORK — The fall-winter 2011 runway show season, with all of its attendant hype, hope and surprises, kicked off last week in New York. Some of the most anticipated collections are coming from Los Angeles designer Barbara Tfank (a new line of denim produced in collaboration with L.A. denim guru Henry Duarte), Olivier Theyskens (for Theory) and the Libertine label. Scott Sternberg, the CAA agent-turned- designer, is showing his men’s and women’s Band of Outsiders collection on the runway for the first time (instead of at a presentation). Derek Lam is showing a dress collection for EBay — live and at dereklam..com. And don’t forget about Tom Ford. He isn’t having a runway show this season — or ever again, if you believe him when he says he no longer wants to be part of the fashion machine. But reports say the 100- person, super-secret show he had in September is resonating with other designers who will be having quieter, more intimate shows. What — no look-at-me bloggers and TV tartlets in the front row? We’ll believe it when we see it. What follows are reports on some of the first shows — for women and men — of the New York season. designer said backstage. “And some women collection.
