How to Rape Your Date is the title of a postcard and poster campaign from the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre and Multicultural Women Against Rape. The campaign uses the techniques of shock advertising, describing how to "cover your tracks" and "get her drunk" in order to "rape your date," while really educating people about the crime.

Quite startling.

Cost: Free. English.

Renault cuts 2008 profit targets

France's Renault SA on Thursday cut its full year profit targets and said sales fell 2.2 percent in the third quarter as the financial crisis caused a steep decline in European demand for cars.

In the third quarter, sales dropped 2.2 percent to euro9.15 billion (US$11.75 billion) from euro9.36 billion a year earlier, Renault said in a statement.

The carmaker said a "sharp fall in European markets in the second half-year" caused it to cut profit expectations. It now expects an operating margin of between 2.5 and 3 percent compared with its previous target of 4.5 percent.

Total sales for 2008 will "slightly exceed" the 2.49 …

ECB Likely to Hold Key Rate Steady

FRANKFURT, Germany - The European Central Bank is likely to keep interest rates unchanged Thursday as unemployment is dropping and inflation appears to be under control in the 13-nation region that shares the euro.

The Bank of England, meanwhile, raised its key interest rate by a quarter percentage point to 5.75 percent, its fifth increase in less than a year as the central bank tries to contain inflation and a booming housing market.

The European Central Bank has raised rates about once every quarter since December 2005 in bringing its benchmark rate to 4 percent. In doing so it has managed to keep inflation at bay and growth from stalling.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An autopsy conducted Tuesday on a 2-year-old boy who plunged from a skybox after a Los Angeles Lakers game determined that his death was an accident.

Police and paramedics said Lucas Anthony Tang suffered massive head injuries in the Sunday night fall at Staples Center, but Los Angeles County coroner's Capt. John Kades said the official cause of death was multiple traumatic injuries.

The toddler fell from a third-level luxury box and landed on a row of seats minutes after the Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors. He died at a hospital.

The Lakers held a moment of silence for Tang before Tuesday night's game against the Chicago Bulls. The luxury box …

LAST WEEK'S QUESTION

Should tolls be added to Interstate 80? Why or why not?

HOW YOU SAID IT:

NO: "I don't think motorists should pay additional amounts for big-city, mass-transit inefficiencies. In my opinion, the whole premise of mass transit is beingable to move a large number of people from one point to another using fewer resources and for less cost than if those people traveled individually. If it's functioning properly, it should payfor itself with money left over. If not, something is wrong, and throwing more money at it is not going to fix the problem. I don't think they should get any money until they address their inefficiencies. Maybe we should lease mass …
