Family of four held in drug bust

MIRI: A family of four, believed to be operating a drug distribution syndicate, was detained during a police raid.
The four were found with seven suspected clients when police raided their house in Kampung Sealine near Lutong bazaar on Saturday night.
The husband and wife were aged 54 and 41 respectively, and their two sons aged 19 and 21. Some 70 tubes containing what is believed to be syabu were seized.
All of them were brought to the Miri central police station by the anti-narcotics squad led by senior officers from Kuching, who had flown here to lead the raid.
A source said the family were in the midst of a drug deal with the seven men when police moved in. The source said police had been monitoring the family for some time, adding that the suspects were believed to have used their home as a distribution centre.
Also seized were over RM15,000, electronic gadgets, weighing equipment, personal documents and three vehicles.

collegemedium.com = craigslist for schools

CollegeMedium.com

this is a new website that lets users target students from specific schools for jobs & housing.

This is pretty much alike to websites such as exchangehut.com and craigslist. The main target audience users are students. Students are young and wild. (Sorry grad schoolers, :P) Students can be the dynamic drive to the success of this kinda websites. And the power of internet makes things so easily accessible and super easy communications wise.

To register, one would need a college email address (one that ends with .edu)
Students can post up things for sale. plus, every student that posts an item for sale get a free song from itunes (cool)
Non students can post jobs, housing and events for students, and respond to student marketplace postings.

This site is awesome since its users are mainly students (like me), there's a pre-set camaraderie.
And only students can view the posted jobs and housing listings, due to the user restriction policy of the website.

and one neat feature of this website is that CollegeMedium will send you a text message anytime someone responds to your posting. It's a nice way to alert the poster of your interest. So if you're into SMS, then this definitely fits you best.

The above screenshot is the page of University of Wisconsin's. You can select which college/campus you're at and it has many colleges listed. Give it a try through the link below:
