In my case, as I said before, its indifference. In case of female characters, I only have eyes for Erza(and now Mavis too ). Even though I would like Juvia to get more character development, I could, at the same time, care less even if she doesn't - provided that she doesn't get more screeen time.

Say WHAT!? Where did this INJUSTICE occur!? Squad 7, prepare to move out! To think that they would make Erza place 16 out of 16...
Erza: Indeed, while I am happy that Juvia has so many dedicated fans...there are some things that should not be done.
Juvia: I'M SOOO SORRY! I didn't mean for them to do something like that!
Gray: You don't even know those losers, don't apologize for them.
Juvia: But Gray-sama...!
Erza: Gray is right, Juvia. *her aura begins to shine blood-red as she switches to her Purgetory Armor* There is no need to pray for the souls of the damned!
Juvia: Kyaah! Gray-sama! You have to stop her - she'll kill them all!!
Gray: *gives Juvia a look* ... no way.
Juvia: GRAY-SAMA!!
Gray: ... >.< ... fine, there's one thing we can do.
Juvia: **I knew it, Gray-sama is truly a kind person!**
Gray: *clasps his hands together* I pray that she kills them quickly...
Gray: Juvia, you should have realized this. Whenever Erza and Sanity don't see eye-to-eye, Sanity hides in a bunker before Erza tosses it to the curb and stomps it.
**Natsu, walks in, hands behind his back, chatting up with Happy and Lisanna. Spies Erza stomping through and calls out**
Natsu: Eh? Where are you going Erza?
Erza: Natsu! *smiles darkly* I'm going on an extermination run. Wanna come along? You can destory as much as you like and I won't say a word.
Natsu: REALLY!? *Inner Child has been released - all security locks disabled* You're the BEST Erza!!
Gray: *watches the two of them march out the door* ... oi, oi, so much for my 'prayer'.
Juvia: ... this can't be happening, this can't be happening...!
Lucy: Welcome to my world... -_-
I should start saving these and posting them up on FFNet or something...XD I love making these things.

It's not even about screen time... Levy had less than Juvia yet Levy still is far more 3D than her.
All Juvia ever does is "Gray-sama!"
Really, that's the only thing going for her. She never does anything else. Put her in a crowd of crazy fangirls and she'll never stand out.
I never really liked Juvia. Right before she appeared in anime everyone were like "Juvia! Can't wait!".
Admit, I found her cool until her fight with Gary. Then it was just "EH?! Are you kidding me?! Everyone are going crazy over this 1D brain?!"
Seriously, if Juvia started to show her affection towards Gray less obviously and be more natural about it, she would be far more likable and maybe Gray would finally take notice of her.
Otherwise her only real match up is Lyon who happens to be same kind of idiot when it comes to love. But at least he has other things going for him. He can compose himself too while Juvia screams "Gary-sama" at every opportunity, 20 times per episode.
The girl needs to mature up!

With Levi and Tenrou Island arc Gajeel got way more development than Juvia has gotten in total and worse Gajeel got way less panel time but way more development. Not only was he Makarov's spy on Raven Tail 7 years ago, we got an amazing back story. Plus as you know from reading the manga Gajeel is getting more plot coming his way too... and Im not referring to Chariot which airs in ~24hrs. So stating Gajeel as getting sidelined too makes Juvia's sidelining ok is a fallacy argumemt since their levels of plot sidelining are not equal, Gajeel being a Dragon Slayer and having an actual dynamic romance building instead of a static non romance truly disproves that entire argument you just made.
Agreed Gajeel gets not much plot when compaired to main characters but he gets way more than Juvia whom is trying to date the 4th main character and by that note should be getting more development than Gajeel (excluding DS stuff). However this isn't the case and in fact the opposite is true... Gajeel who's interested in an even more side character than he gets way more plot and development than the girl trying to date the main male supporting character.
Oh and they didn't get to me... but the passion of defeating them did , if that makes any sense

161: The animation quality was low, but expected, the better one will be save for later.
I love it, how Elfman enjoyed the fight in the end, he was so soak in manliness, when the other 2 were fighting fairly.

So far Fairy Tail is a disgrace.
At least they don't lack the fighting spirit.
The part at the tavern was lively.
Natsu & chariot, that was just pathetic.
I was surprised it affected Gajeel as well.
Well, at least their efforts got them the affection of the audience.

To the person who wondered "Why Toby?" I gather it's mainly because he was already a named and created character. It's easier bringing someone back, then making up someone new (and he's already made a TON of new characters for this arc). Plus, you have to assume he's gotten a bit stronger, although he does still seem a bit dumb.
Not much to say about Chariot, although I'm still a bit miffed that apparently all DS"s have motion sickness. I'm wondering if Mashima is actually going to give a reason for this down the line, because I feel it loses it's charm as a quirk if so many people have it.
And next up is Elfman vs. Bacchus... which should be a good match, although, not quite as good as I would have liked....
And Charle (I'm still calling her that, dammit), you aren't going to believe your visions, eh? I suppose it's a bit natural considering what happened in Edolas, but you should give it some credence and let some others know, just in case. You do have some confirmed future-sight ability, after all.

The motion sickness thing is weird. I suppose they can make the excuse as to why we've never seen Wendy have issues as her casting Troia on herself offscreen? Would be nice if they actually came up with a reason for that. Some plot significance would be nice.
And yeah, wish Charle would have some more faith in herself. Just because it's not a future you want to see doesn't mean you should ignore it. Telling everyone gives them a chance to prepare for the worst or at least stay sharp. There's no way she wouldn't be believed if she spoke up.

Just as the episode began, i completely believed it,i thought we were getting some niceGray x Lucy moment until Gray says 'i've got Juvia' and the scene breakes, really her imagination is getting more and more realistic, and would have never thought cana would be beaten in a drinking game, and Bacchus takes away her bra!!!!!
Another scene would be Gajeel patting Laxus on the head, Don't do it!!!!!, i want the badass Laxus
so, we see Elfman fight in the next, his magic seems to have improved, i hope he wins, but i am not sure about Toby. I wonder what bet Bacchus might be placing

Ho, I've enjoyed this episode much more than I expected. It had some nice moments.
I still wonder what Lucy's singing has to do with castle falling apart... some kind of new power?
Looks like Flare has it tough... I wonder what her real personality is like...
Looks like Bacchus got a charismatic sounding VA, I remember him well from Hakuouki
I really like Snake Dudes voice especially when he says "Sand Rebellion".
A bit weir but I actually recognize one of the spectator's voice... doesn't help that he actually looks a bit like character from Uchuu Kyodai...

You would think that wreaking the chariots would disqualify Bacchus but I guess not lol. Was a bit confused on the Dragonslayer sickness, since Gajeel didn't have it before, but i guess it has to do with power levels.
And i really wish the GrayxLucy dream of Juvia's was real haha

An Irish American mother who gave up a daughter for adoption after being raped as a teenager spoke about the pain of her daughter trying to contact her.
After sixteen year old Kathleen Hoy Foley was raped, she was unable to have an abortion because abortions were illegal in 1964. She gave the child away in a closed adoption and hoped to close the door on that episode in her life. The now 65 year-old Foley told the Daily News, "The day I walked out of that hospital, it was the day it ended for me. I was emancipated. I truly believed I was free."
But she wasn't yet free, as her daughter Elaine Penn repeatedly contacted her in the late 1990s.
In a closed adoption the children do not learn the names of their biological parents. Foley believes that Catholic Charities, who handled the adoption, gave her information to her daughter. Catholic Charities denies this.
Foley says that Penn tracked her down with the help of a private investigator. Penn denies that she received help from Catholic Charities or a private investigator. She says she tracked her birth parents down by library documents and public records.
Penn's repeated attempts to contact her forced Foley to tell her husband and her grown-up children about what happened. Foley claims that Penn attempted to contact other members of her family. She says the whole experience was "humiliating, degrading and dehumanizing."
Foley said the worst offense was when Penn contacted her son-in-law, a lawyer who then revealed Foley's past to his wife, Foley's daughter. Penn claims she did not know Foley was connected to the lawyer whom she contacted after finding an old public deed of Foley's.
Penn, now 48, said she felt the need to contact her biological parents after she gave birth to her own child in 1996. The Daily News reports she said giving birth smacks a lot of adoptees in the face because it's the first time you see anyone who is biologically connected to you." She discovered that her father had died and said her mother's reaction was like "a knife to my heart."
She said, "But I would hope that whatever happens in that situation that at this point, I would get myself help and I wouldn't take it out on the person I gave birth to."
During the 15 years that Penn has contacted Foley, they have still never met.
Foley has become a campaigner for the rights of women who have given up their children to maintain anonymity, regardless of what the children want. She wrote about these events in her life titled "Woman in Hiding: A True Tale of Backdoor Abuse, Dark Secrets and Other Evil Deeds." Penn is a proponent of opening adoption records.
Donald Cofsky of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys told The Daily Mail that the case is tragic, but since both sides want different things, "There's no way to fix it."

Update: Death During Police Contact, February 12, 2013
We received some additional inquiries regarding the recent death of a person during contact with our officers. Though we are limited in terms of sharing specific details of this ongoing investigation, we wanted to offer some context where we can, as hopefully this may be of some use to you.
We understand the community's concern over this incident, and the desire to have as much information about this incident as possible.
As you may know, any investigation involving a death such as this includes thorough and detailed interviews with all witnesses and involved parties, the collection and analysis of all available evidence, and preparation of appropriate reports. The Alameda County Coroner's office is conducting their concurrent death investigation as well.
There are significant constraints in place regarding the immediate release of information in a case such as this, and we can't comment on specific information or even address inaccuracies which may be expressed in public discussion regarding this incident.
The Berkeley Police Department has a long history of working with respect and sensitivity to mental health issues in our community and among people with whom we come into contact. Our department has a positive reputation in the community for its interactions with mental health consumers.
Furthermore, we are increasing our level of service and expertise in this area through our Department's new Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program. This program is based on a national, best-practices model for police interactions with people with mental health issues. These training efforts, and the expansion of the program, are continuing throughout the year.
A thorough investigation takes time. We are obliged to wait for the evidence to be examined, the facts to be determined, and the investigation to be completed.
We are committed to conducting a sensitive and thorough investigation, fair to everyone involved, from the family and friends of the decedent, to the officers and firefighters who tried to save the decedent's life.

CoP members,
In January, the high school wireless network will go on-line. DMTS is looking into the possibility of students with an access code having the ability to bring in their laptop/wireless device and use it during the school day for instructional purposes.
Prior to implementation, we would like your feedback on the pros and cons of allowing this to happen. What benefits would you see in your curriculum if students had access? What drawbacks do you see? Would you yourself bring a home laptop to utilize on the district network?
Please click the comment link and share your thoughts.

Travel Guide of Isla Verde, Puerto Rico for: InterContinental San JuanIsla Verde, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Isla Verde Summary
- Beautiful white-sand beaches
- Great luxury hotels with casinos, restaurants and shops
- 3-minute drive to the airport
- Short drive to historic Old San Juan
- Close to Condado's nightlife and shops
- Lack of charm; very touristy
- No historic sites or tourist attractions
- Fewer restaurants and shops than neighboring Condado
What It's Like
Isla Verde feels somewhat similar to neighboring Condado, with oceanfront luxury hotels overlook several wonderful white-sand beaches. However, the dining and shopping scenes are less impressive here. Tourists come here for two main reasons: the wonderful beaches bordering the neighborhood on the north, and the short drive to the airport, located a couple of minutes east by car. Isla Verde Avenue, the main thoroughfare in the area, is lined with self-contained hotels overlooking the sand.
Don't expect to find charming romantic hideaways here -- the vibe here is more see-and-be-seen, especially during the weekends.
Where to Stay
The main strip in the area is Isla Verde Avenue, where most of the luxury hotels and self-contained resorts are. Properties here generally have great ocean views from most rooms, and nice pools. However, the hotels facing south also have great woods and lagoon views. The closer to the airport, the noisier it gets, so if you want to get a good night's sleep, and have easy access to the restaurants, shops and nightclubs in Condado, a hotel in the western edge of the neighborhood is a good pick --but the beaches farther east are better.

'08 SHOCK: Drudge still smearing, distorting quotes, and touting fake allegations
Research ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
Media critics have recently postulated that while Matt Drudge may have once set the media's agenda, his influence has waned and his efforts to inject himself in the media's coverage of the presidential election have largely fallen flat. This election season, Drudge has posted a long series of items that were false on their face or turned out to be false, making the strong case that, if his influence is not in fact waning, it should be.
In the past few weeks, media critics have postulated that Matt Drudge's influence in setting the media's agenda -- which the Politico's John F. Harris and Time's Mark Halperin argue in The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008 has been great -- has waned this election cycle. In his continuing efforts to drive media coverage, this election season, Drudge has posted a long series of items that were false on their face, misrepresented reports he linked to, or were subsequently exposed as false. As reporter and blogger Greg Sargent wrote in an October 31 post at Talking Points Memo, "Multiple times this cycle, Drudge has pushed stories that have gone belly-up." Whether or not Drudge's influence is in fact waning, these items, examples of which Media Matters for America has compiled below, make a strong case that it should be.
October 29 -- World Series
Drudge advanced Sen. John McCain's October 29 suggestion that Sen. Barack Obama was "delay[ing] the World Series" with his purchase of 30 minutes of network airtime on October 29. In fact, as Media Matters documented, The New York Times reported in an October 28 article that "Fox executives have said that they, and not the Obama campaign, had initially asked Major League Baseball to move the start of Wednesday's game to 8:35 p.m. from 8:20, to make way for his infomercial. But as it turns out, such a delay was not necessary anyway; none of the World Series games has started before 8:30, and two started after 8:35." Politico's Ben Smith also quoted a Fox broadcasting executive who reportedly "negotiated the ad buy" as saying: "By no means did they [the Obama campaign] push to get us to accommodate them with Game Six [of the World Series]. ... We're just missing the pregame, which isn't a big deal for us. It was a business decision."
October 27 -- Supreme Court "tragedy"
Drudge featured the following false headline: "2001 OBAMA: TRAGEDY THAT 'REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH' NOT PURSUED BY SUPREME COURT":
In fact, as the YouTube audio that Drudge linked to demonstrates, during a 2001 interview on Chicago Public Radio station WBEZ, Obama did not say it is a "tragedy" that the Supreme Court has not pursued wealth redistribution. The "tragedy" Obama identified was that the civil rights movement "became so court-focused" in trying to effect political and economic justice. Obama stated: "And one of the -- I think the tragedies of the civil rights movement was, because the civil rights movements became so court-focused, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing, and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change."
Numerous media figures echoed Drudge's false headline about Obama's 2001 remarks.
October 23 -- Pittsburgh "attack"
During the afternoon of October 23, Drudge seized on McCain campaign volunteer Ashley Todd's allegations that a black man mugged her and, after seeing a McCain bumper sticker on her car, carved a "B" into her cheek. At 2:54 p.m. ET, Drudge reported Todd's allegations as fact, posting on his website: "SHOCK: MCCAIN CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEER ATTACKED AND MUTILATED IN PITTSBURGH," along with another headline reading: " 'B' CARVED INTO 20-YEAR OLD WOMAN'S FACE... DEVELOPING..."
Drudge did not initially link to a news report for this claim. From the Drudge Report at 2:54 p.m. ET on October 23:
Drudge eventually added a link to an online article by WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh about the alleged attack. From the Drudge Report on October 23 at 3:28 p.m. ET:
He later posted a picture of Todd with her purported injuries. From the Drudge Report on October 23 at 6:40 p.m. ET:
Todd's claims were proven to be false on October 24, when Todd reportedly told police she made up her story. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported on October 25 that "[a]lmost from the start, Pittsburgh police were skeptical about a young woman's claim that she had been mugged and a 'B' carved into her cheek by an attacker who was provoked by the sight of a John McCain bumper sticker on her car."
The Post-Gazette added that Todd's story "quickly became political fodder on the Internet and spread around the world, fueled by the presidential campaign and Ms. Todd's political connections as a field representative for the College Republican National Committee and McCain volunteer. But in less than a day, the international story of a McCain volunteer being attacked, traumatized and disfigured for her political beliefs deflated into a sad tale of a troubled woman with a history of mental problems." The Post-Gazette wrote of Drudge:
[Todd's friend Dan] Garcia took the widely published picture of Ms. Todd with her injuries. He said he took several photographs with a digital camera to document what had happened. He said he only gave copies of the photos to police and Ms. Todd's employer, the College Republicans. One photo appeared on The Drudge Report on Thursday, setting off a storm of media attention.
The Post-Gazette wrote in an October 30 editorial that the "Drudge Report made 20-year-old Ashley Todd an object of political fascination around the country." Financial Times associate editor John Gapper wrote in an October 29 article: "It was a shocker in the tradition of Mr Drudge's scare stories and hyped-up trivia about Democratic candidates in US presidential campaigns, to go with past items about [former Sen.] John Edwards' $400 haircut and [Sen.] John Kerry's windsurfing. This time, however, it was not merely tendentious but false." Gapper added: "The Ashley Todd affair was the latest in a series of failures by Mr Drudge to recapture the magic of the past, when the Drudge Report had an unrivalled grip on the media agenda."
October 16 -- Gallup shock
Drudge displayed the following lead headline: "GALLUP SHOCK:? 49 OBAMA, 47 MCCAIN WITH LIKELY VOTERS":
However, as Media Matters noted, Drudge selectively cited only one of three findings from an October 13-15 Gallup daily tracking poll of the presidential race -- the result that showed Obama holding his smallest lead over McCain. MSNBC's Morning Joe echoed Drudge by displaying the on-screen text "Gallup shock."
New Republic contributor and statistician Nate Silver noted in an October 16 blog post that Drudge had "cherry-pick[ed]" polling results:
With seven different daily tracking polls to work with -- one of which releases three separate versions of its model each day -- there is a lot to choose from for those who might seek to cherry-pick results.
Slow news day, Matt? If this is a two-point race right now, I'll eat Drudge's fedora. None of the dozen or so other polls that were in the field this week shows a race that close. Nor do either of the alternate versions of Gallup's model, including the so-called Likely Voters II model that I find most credible. (Drudge, of course, had no interest in featuring the Zogby poll, as he had for the past several of days on his site, but which today showed Obama gaining ground.)
September 9-10 -- Lipstick on a pig
Drudge falsely suggested in lead headlines from September 9 through September 10 that Obama was referring to Gov. Sarah Palin when he said: "You can put lipstick on a pig; it's still a pig."
As Media Matters noted, on September 9, Drudge placed the words "OBAMA: 'LIPSTICK ON A PIG, STILL A PIG' " under a picture of Palin. Then, on September 10, Drudge posted the lead headline, "HOLY SOW!" under a picture of Palin:
Contrary to Drudge's suggestion, Obama did not mention Palin in at least the 65 words preceding his "lipstick on a pig" comment, as Media Matters noted. Indeed, Obama's preceding comments consisted of what he described as a "list" of McCain's policies that Obama said were no different from President Bush's. Moreover, the expression "lipstick on a pig" is common political rhetoric -- Obama had reportedly used the expression in the past, and McCain himself used it in 2007 in reference to Sen. Hillary Clinton's health-care proposal.
During the September 14 edition of CNN's Reliable Sources, host Howard Kurtz said: "I seriously thought about passing up entirely this ridiculous, trumped-up, phony lipstick controversy. No one really seriously believes that Barack Obama was talking about Sarah Palin when he used the well-worn barnyard phrase. Just about everyone knows it was essentially pushed along and made up by Drudge, Sean Hannity, and the New York Post, which endorsed McCain, by the way, in a front-page editorial." Kurtz, CNN special correspondent Frank Sesno, and Houston Chronicle White House correspondent Julie Mason then went on to criticize the media for their reporting on the "lipstick" remarks.
July 24-July 26 "Obama scraps visit to wounded troops"
Drudge furthered the myth that Obama did not visit wounded troops on his trip to the Middle East and Europe in July. A Drudge headline stated "Obama scraps visit to wounded troops..." and linked to a July 24 Associated Press article that reported "Obama scrapped plans to visit wounded members of the armed forces in Germany as part of his overseas trip, a decision his spokesman said was made because the Democratic presidential candidate thought it would be inappropriate on a campaign-funded journey." From the Drudge Report on July 24 at 6:53 p.m. ET:
Additionally, a July 26 Drudge Report headline read "McCain camp: Obama shortchanged injured troops..." and linked to a July 26 AP article that reported "McCain's campaign on Saturday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for canceling a visit to wounded troops in Germany. ... A new McCain ad that began airing Saturday in selected markets also chides Obama as disrespectful for making 'time to go to the gym' during his European visit while at the same time canceling the visit with wounded troops." From the Drudge Report on July 26 at 6:56 p.m. ET:
However, as Media Matters documented, while Obama did not go to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, Obama did visit wounded troops earlier in his trip overseas. Indeed, the July 26 AP article Drudge linked to reported that the Obama campaign "noted that the Illinois senator had visited troops in Iraq and Afghanistan last week and had made numerous trips to Washington's Walter Reed Army Medical Center." Obama also reportedly made phone calls to wounded soldiers at Landstuhl.
June 30 -- Obama, MoveOn.org
As Media Matters documented, Drudge revived the falsehood that Obama did not condemn MoveOn.org's "General Betray Us" ad about Gen. David Petraeus. Drudge ran the following string of headlines -- "Obama: I will never question others' patriotism..."; "Criticizes MoveOn.org for 'General Betray Us' Ad..."; "BUT DIDN'T VOTE TO CONDEMN AD..." From the Drudge Report at 1:55 p.m. ET on June 30:
The "BUT DIDN'T VOTE TO CONDEMN AD..." headline linked to a September 20, 2007, post on USA Today's On Politics blog, which noted that Obama "did not vote on" an amendment by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) that, in the words of the amendment, "repudiate[s] the unwarranted personal attack on General Petraeus by the liberal activist group Moveon.org." However, while Obama did not vote on Cornyn's amendment, which passed, the USA Today blog post also reported: "The AP said Obama did not vote on the resolution even though he had voted 'minutes earlier' for an alternative that condemned the MoveOn ad as an 'unwarranted personal attack,' but also condemned attack ads that questioned the patriotism of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and former Sen. Max Cleland, D-Ga., both Vietnam veterans." Indeed, Obama did vote for an amendment offered by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) that condemned the ad, as well as other attacks on past and present members of the armed forces.
March 3 -- "As far as I know"
Drudge linked to online news portal Breitbart.tv video footage from the March 2 edition of CBS' 60 Minutes with the headline "Hillary: Obama Not Muslim 'As Far As I Know' ... ":
But contrary to Drudge's suggestion that Sen. Hillary Clinton characterized the issue of Obama's religion as unresolved, Clinton did the opposite, as Media Matters documented. Correspondent Steve Kroft first asked Clinton, "You don't believe that Senator Obama is a Muslim?" Clinton replied, "Of course not. I mean, that's -- you know, there is no basis for that. You know, I take him on the basis of what he says. And, you know, there isn't any reason to doubt that." Kroft then asked, "And you said you'd take Senator Obama at his word that he's not a Muslim." Clinton replied, "Right. Right." Only after Kroft went on to ask, "You don't believe that he's a Muslim or implying, right?," did Clinton respond, "No. No. Why would I? No, there is nothing to base that on, as far as I know" [emphasis added].
Following Clinton's response to Kroft's third query on the subject, Kroft said, "It's just scurrilous --" to which Clinton responded, "Look, I have been the target of so many ridiculous rumors. I have a great deal of sympathy for anybody who gets, you know, smeared with the kind of rumors that go on all the time."
January 22 -- Niagara Falls
Drudge baselessly suggested in a headline that the children's psychiatric unit at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center closed because Clinton was "[n]eglecting" New York:
In fact, The Buffalo News article that the headline linked to contained no mention of Clinton; rather, it reported that hospital officials attributed the closure to problems surrounding the way Medicaid is administered by Niagara County.
November 16, 2007 -- Clinton "spied"
Drudge advanced the anonymously sourced allegation that Clinton "spied on political rivals" -- an allegation the Clinton campaign has said is "categorically untrue." From the Drudge Report at 9:29 a.m. ET on November 16:
As Media Matters noted, in the book Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton, co-authors Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. cited a single unnamed source describing events that allegedly occurred 14 years earlier to claim that during the 1992 presidential campaign, Clinton "listened to a secretly recorded audiotape of a phone conversation of Clinton critics plotting their next attack." Despite the book's release in June, Drudge revived the anonymously sourced allegation months later.
November 13, 2007 -- Wolf Blitzer "warned"
As Media Matters documented, Drudge ran an anonymously sourced item that claimed CNN host Wolf Blitzer "has been warned not to focus Thursday's Dem debate on" Clinton and quoted an anonymous "top Clinton insider" saying, "This campaign is about issues, not on who we can bring down and destroy. ... Blitzer should not go down to the levels of character attack." Drudge also ran the lead headline: "WOLF WARNED: NO GANGING UP ON HILLARY IN VEGAS!":
However, Blitzer stated that Drudge's claims were "not true" during the November 13, 2007, edition of CNN's The Situation Room. During the broadcast, CNN commentator Jack Cafferty said to Blitzer: "I was clicking on 'The Drudge Report,' and there you are, big as life, in the middle of the Drudge Report this afternoon, with a headline suggesting that the Hillary Clinton campaign is trying to intimidate you before you moderate this big debate in Las Vegas. What's up with that?" Blitzer replied:
BLITZER: Not true. No one has pressured me. No one has threatened me. No one is trying to intimidate me. ... No one has even called me to try to pressure me or anything like that. ... I have no idea where it's coming from. I have no idea who generated this story, but I can tell you I have not felt any pressure whatsoever.
Cafferty then said to Blitzer: "What about Drudge just rushing this thing onto the website without knowing if it's true or not?" Blitzer replied: "Well, that's another story."
September 18, 2007 -- "Health insurance proof"
Drudge featured the lead headline "HEALTH INSURANCE PROOF REQUIRED FOR WORK" under a picture of Clinton:
However, Drudge's headline was false, as Media Matters documented. The Associated Press article to which the headline linked did not report that Clinton's proposed health-care plan would require people to show proof of health insurance "for work." Rather, it reported that in an interview with the AP, Clinton said: "At this point, we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed" for people who do not purchase health insurance as required by her plan. According to the article, Clinton also said, "We're providing incentives and tax credits which we think will be very attractive to the vast majority of Americans." The AP article also stated that Clinton "said she could envision a day when 'you have to show proof to your employer that you're insured as a part of the job interview -- like when your kid goes to school and has to show proof of vaccination,' but said such details would be worked out through negotiations with Congress."
In a September 18, 2007, post on Time's Swampland blog -- headlined, "Why Drudge is a Disgrace" -- political columnist Joe Klein wrote:
I know this is old news, but this guy is shameless. The headline, with a photo of a three-quarters crazed Hillary, is HEALTH INSURANCE PROOF REQUIRED FOR WORK but the linked story says this:
At this point, we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed," the presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We're providing incentives and tax credits which we think will be very attractive to the vast majority of Americans."
She said she could envision a day when "you have to show proof to your employer that you're insured as a part of the job interview - like when your kid goes to school and has to show proof of vaccination," but said such details would be worked out through negotiations with Congress.
How stupid does he think we are? Answer: Extremely dumbolic.
August 28, 2007 -- Clinton "supports national smoking ban"
A Drudge headline falsely claimed that "HILLARY SUPPORTS NATIONAL SMOKING BAN... ":
As purported evidence, Drudge linked to an August 28, 2007, New York Post article with the headline, "Hill Eyes National Cig Curb." However, as Media Matters documented, the article did not say Clinton supported a "national smoking ban." The Post actually reported: "Asked whether the feds should impose a nationwide ban, Clinton deferred to local governments."
August 21, 2007 -- "Obama wife slams Hillary?"
Drudge's lead headline stated "OBAMA WIFE SLAMS HILLARY?":
The Drudge headline linked to an August 21, 2007, column by the Chicago Sun-Times' Jennifer Hunter about Michelle Obama's remarks that "if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House." Hunter asserted of Michelle Obama's comment: "She didn't elaborate, but it could be interpreted as a swipe at the Clintons." However, as Media Matters noted, Hunter selectively cited Michelle Obama's remarks in claiming that they could be about the Clintons. As Talking Point Memo's Greg Sargent noted, Obama immediately went on to discuss measures her family was taking to keep their children "grounded" while she and Barack Obama were campaigning, indicating that her comments were not a reference to rival candidates but rather a statement about the efforts they were making to ensure that their children will continue to "come first."
After stating, "Our view is that if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House," Michelle Obama continued: "[S]o we've adjusted our schedules to make sure that our girls are first, so while he's [Barack Obama] traveling around, I do day trips" in order to be "home before bedtime." Atlantic associate editor Marc Ambinder wrote that one "recurring theme of her stump speech" is "the hard choices she and Sen. Obama have had to make about their work/family balance."
Sargent wrote of suggestions that Obama was taking a swipe at Clinton: "The Obama campaign says this wasn't an attack on Hillary at all." Sargent added that Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton sent him a statement saying: "The only family Mrs. Obama was referring to was the Obama family." Ambinder further noted that in highlighting Hunter's column, "Matt Drudge has other designs, and you can bet that the cable news networks will follow."
NBC political director Chuck Todd, deputy political director Mark Murray, and reporter Andrew Merten wrote in an August 21, 2007, blog post on MSNBC.com's First Read that Drudge's headline was a "manufactured controversy" and "appears to be a Drudge straw man":
On his site now, Drudge has this provocative headline: "Obama Wife Slams Hillary?" It's taken from this Chicago Sun-Times story today.
There's just one problem: This all seems to be a manufactured controversy. For one thing, what Michelle Obama said isn't anything new; in fact, it appears to be her stump speech. She said this on August 13, per the AP. And also on August 16, per the New York Times. In both instances, it appears she's talking about her own family and its values.
In short, this appears to be a Drudge straw man; the challenge for news divisions (including our own) is whether they actually bite.
August 1, 2007 -- Pakistan
A Drudge lead headline claimed "WAR: COMMANDER OBAMA WOULD SEND TROOPS INTO PAKISTAN":
The headline linked to an August 1, 2007, Associated Press report about a foreign policy speech that day by Obama. However, Drudge's headline is a distortion of Obama's remarks. Obama did not say he "would send troops into Pakistan"; he said that "[i]f we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and [then-Pakistani] President [Pervez] Musharraf won't act, we will," without elaborating on how he would act. Furthermore, Obama never said he would declare "war" on Pakistan, as Drudge suggested.
May 25, 2007 -- "Flak Jacket"
A Drudge headline read "McCain mocks Obama for not knowing how to spell 'flak jacket' ..." and linked to a May 25, 2007, Hill article that reported McCain "took a shot at Obama for making a mistake in" a statement that day in which Obama wrote "flack jacket":
However, as Media Matters documented, "flack" is an alternate spelling of "flak." Indeed, the phrase "flack jacket" with a "c" appears on dozens of military websites.
March 11, 2007 -- JFK of 2008
A Drudge headline read "HILLARY: I'M THE JFK OF 2008... ":
The Drudge headline linked to a March 11, 2007, New York Post article with the headline "Hill: I'm the JFK of 2008." However, as Media Matters noted, Clinton did not say she was the John F. Kennedy of 2008. Instead, Clinton was comparing the possibility of her becoming the first woman president to Kennedy having become the first Catholic president. Following is the portion of Clinton's March 10, 2007, speech during which she addressed Kennedy:
A lot of people back then [during former President Kennedy's 1960 campaign] said, "Well, you know America will never elect a Catholic as president," but those who gathered here almost half a century ago knew better. ... So when people tell me, or when one of the pundits says that "I don't think a woman can be elected president," I say, "We'll never know unless we try."

The other night I followed through with my menu plan and made some extremely unconventional gnocchi. This gnocchi was baked, not boiled, and cut into rounds more like a croquette than a gnocchi. But DH was ecstatic over the dish, and any dish with greens that DH is ecstatic over is something to take note of. I recently opened a box of Cream of Buckwheat that had been hiding in my pantry forever. We used it for hot cereal several days, and it struck the perfect balance for me- hearty and whole grain without being too heavy. Mild but not insipid, thick but not lumpy. Good stuff, and DH pronounced it not too different from oatmeal. But then I was reading a recipe for spinach gnocchi and noticed it called for semolina. Semolina, a kind of wheat flour, makes me think of the Indian Rava, or cream of semolina. And that made me think of my new discovery, cream of buckwheat. So, I decided to make my own version of this recipe, using cream of buckwheat instead of semolina and substituting beet greens and a few leaves of red chard for the spinach. (DH far prefers beet greens to spinach.) It made the whole house smell good, especially when I threw together some garlic bread using an unfavorite baguette brought home from Austria. DH proclaimed it to smell "just like a restaurant," and the whole meal tasted like a restaurant meal, too. So, if you're tired of the same old potato gnocchi- why not try something really different, like cream of buckwheat gnocchi? It should be even more nutritious, and it was definitely delicious.
If it's not in your local store, get your Wheat-free, Gluten-free Pocono Organic Cereal, Cream of Buckwheatfrom Amazon. :)
Buckwheat Gnocchi with Greens
14 oz. fresh spinach OR beet greens from one bunch of beets plus any other greens to make 2 or 3 cups of fresh greens
3 cups milk
1 1/4 cup Cream of Buckwheat cereal (Pocono)
1/8 cup butter
4 oz fresh grated parmesan cheese
fresh grated nutmeg
salt, freshly ground pepper
2 eggs, beaten
Blanch your beet greens or spinach until nicely cooked, drain thoroughly and chop into small pieces.
Rinse a pot with water and place on burner still damp. Let warm and then add your milk, heating until the milk begins to boil. Slowly add your (uncooked) Cream of Buckwheat cereal grits to the milk and stir. Let mixture come back to a boil and then lower heat, stirring frequently for up to ten minutes or until mixture has thickened nicely to a grit-like texture. Take off the burner and add butter, cheese, and seasonings. Let mixture cool for a few minutes (up to five) and then add your beaten eggs and mix thoroughly.
If you'd like, separate out some of the mixture for plain gnocchi (no greens). Mix greens into the other half of the "dough" and combine thoroughly.
There are 2 preparation options.
1)scoop out little balls of the dough and form them into a little gnocchi shape, placing them on a baking tin in a single layer sprayed with non-stick cooking spray as you make each one.
2)spread the batter on cookie tins about 1/2 inch thick and let cool in refrigerator. When firm, use little cookie or biscuit cutter to cut out gnocchi "rounds" (more like croquettes, really) and place on a single layer on a baking tin sprayed with non-stick cooking spray as you make each one. Top each round with extra parmesan cheese. (Really, do, it adds a lot of flavor and interest)
Place in pre-heated 375 degree oven and bake for 35 minutes or so. Remove from oven and reserve.
You can either serve as is with a yummy homemade tomato sauce OR to take it up a notch…
Heat 1 or 2 tsp. butter with 1 or 2 tsp. garlic flavored olive oil in a cast iron pan. (To make oil, just sautee up some garlic in the oil and then remove the garlic from the pan, leaving the oil.- I actually used oil from a garlic bread mash topping of garlic, parsley, and pepper, so there was infused parsley in the oil too, yum.) When warm, add a single layer of your baked gnocchi. After they warm and get a little golden brown, turn them over. When done, remove from pan and serve with your sauce.
DH was amazingly enthused about this dish, and gobbled it down. I had to take the gnocchi away from the table or he said he would eat it all right then. lol. We will be making this again- AND it's a great, fun way to use cream of buckwheat cereal.
A very untraditional gnocchi, on many points, but we liked it.
All Purpose Pasta Sauce
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (thyme, sage, oregano), or 1 tablespoon dried spices
1/2 medium carrot, finely grated
2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes or 1 can whole tomatoes and 5 or 6 home grown heirloom tomatoes, roughly chopped (reserve juice from can and any from the tomatoes) OR 1 28 oz. can peeled tomatoes and 1 14 oz. can stewed tomatoes
GF Spaghetti noodles
Grill or roast your fresh tomatoes until charred and skin comes off easily. Chop roughly and retain any juice. In a sauce pan or dutch oven, heat the oil to medium, and add your diced onion and garlic, cooking until lightly golden (about 10 minutes). Lower heat if needed. ThroIn a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add spices and grated carrot and cook for about five minutes. Add tomatoes and any juice or liquid from the can or fresh tomatoes and let come to boil, stirring to make sure it doesn't burn. Turn down heat and simmer on low for half an hour until thickened. Add salt to taste.
Use on pasta, and/or for vegetarian sloppy joes.

Tyson Stelzer wrote:I have a proposal for the wine question of the decade: Would Latour mature as well under screwcap as it does under cork?
The rise of the screwcap in recent years has brought with it an avalanche of questions. The manner in which wine bottles are sealed has been queried, with implications reaching the way in which wines are made and the way that they mature in bottle. The debate has challenged the most fundamental principles of winemaking and maturation, revealing that our understanding of the scientific processes by which wine ages has not been as well founded as we might have once believed.
In response, wine scientists the world over have initiated scientific studies to investigate the process of maturation during bottle aging. These trials are necessarily long term, so most of the results are still some years from release.
Major screwcap trials have been conducted by first-growth Bordeaux houses for years--but under strict secrecy, with no results revealed as yet.
* Even after more than 30 years of rigorous scientific testing, many winemakers and consumers are still unconvinced that red wines can age under screwcap.
* According to trials in Australia and France, wines under screwcap remain sound indefinitely, and even those deemed not age-worthy can improve in the bottle.
* Lack of oxygen in screwcapped bottles prevents oxidation, not aging.

NEW YORK (AP) - California Chrome has failed in his bid to win the first Triple Crown in 36 years.
Official results of the race are pending, but California Chrome finished well behind the lead. It appears that Tonalist crossed first.
The result means the longest drought without a Triple Crown champion in history is extended.
California Chrome and jockey Victor Espinoza lost the 1 1/2-mile race on a hot day at Belmont Park, where tens of thousands of fans were packed in hoping to see history. It was not to be, leaving Affirmed as the most recent Triple Crown winner in 1978.

Hi! I have a 7 week old girl, and have a question about her dirty diapers. She has had mucous off and on (mucous is usually present more often than not) from around 1-2 weeks old. It is occasionally greenish, but is usually an egg white or yellow color. I consider her stools watery, but she only has 1-3 a day. Her weight gain is stellar, and she is otherwise a typical newborn with some grassiness, some restlessness with sleeping, etc. I am just trying to figure out if the presence of mucous in and of itself warrants eliminating dairy from my diet...any thoughts?
I have a 27 month old son who had issues with green, bloody mucousy stools and ended up on a complete elimination diet and never saw complete resolution with his bowels...he just eventually outgrew whatever it was that was bothering his gut, and now has no allergy issues at all. I got so much help from this these forums, and feel like I should have a food handle on this poop stuff, but I can't seem to figure out if I need to do something at this point or not. Because my son had issues with his bowels, i guess i am still not completely confident in ascertaining what is "normal" and what is not. It seems that some mamas jump on eliminating things with the presence of mucous alone, while others say not to worry in the absence of other issues...any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J. (December 6, 2012) – With Thanksgiving leftovers finally eaten and homes (temporarily) back in order, holiday cooks are taking a breather before plunging back into the end-of-the-year marathon. A new national survey commissioned by Samsung Electronics America, Inc., America's fastest growing major home appliance brand, and conducted online by Harris Interactive in November among U.S. adults1, reflects on the Thanksgiving meal and takes a look at the rest of the season ahead.
The vast majority of holiday cooks have plenty of positive things to "gobble" about and clearly love what they do, as 88% plan to host all over gain in the near future or next year. But not surprisingly, given the amount of time and work required, 66% of US adults who cooked a Thanksgiving meal admitted to having some regrets with how they pulled off the meal. Number 1 on the list is timing the meal correctly (21%), followed by not enough advance planning (16%) and too much time spent hand-washing dishes (15%).
The Make Your House Work for the Holidays program brought to you by Samsung features ideas, inspiration and smart product innovations to turn holiday regrets into hosting success in the areas of planning, cooking and cleaning. So for holiday cooks who had issues with meal timing, the hub features a multi-dish timer tool to keep the meal in sync. It also offers advanced planning assistance with helpful menu guides, pantry checklists and table setting maps, as well as a guide to items that should go in the dishwasher and those that should be hand washed.
With the first big holiday meal under their belt and less than a month to go until New Year's, consumers are already looking ahead to a very busy December, sizing up the challenges ahead, and thinking about best ways to approach them.
Plan Ahead? Many Don't
Although you would think that planning ahead would be a crucial step for holiday cooks, close to half (45%) don't actually do it. The non-planners run the gamut from "winging it" (10%), to asking guests to bring dishes (14%), having a drink to calm their nerves (7%) or to having absolutely no game plan at all (7%). Just 2% of cooks actually do a holiday meal test run.
Tis the Season for Guests in the Kitchen
One of the biggest challenges for holiday cooks can be how to handle holiday guests who gather in the kitchen during meal preparation time. In fact, 45 percent say they put people to work chopping vegetables, loading dishes, and setting the table; and 47 percent roll out snacks, drinks and conversation as they love the company. There's also a fine line between guests in the kitchen and "meddlers" looking over their shoulder. More than half (60%) complained of being closely watched while cooking – with spouse/partner/significant other topping the list, followed by mother/mother-in-law, other family members and sibling.
When it comes to cooking, over half (52%) of holiday cooks want an oven that is fast, efficient and able to multi-task at the top of their holiday wish list. Samsung's Flex Duo Oven (FE710DRS) reduces your stress and increases your options by preparing two dishes at two different temperatures, from one large capacity oven.
To the Grocery Store We Go, But Where To Put all the Food?
The sheer amount of holiday grocery shopping and groceries can also be a challenge. Almost 4 in 5 (78%) of holiday cooks will make themselves or have someone else in the household make up to three trips to the store and 22 percent will make four or more. Samsung's LCD Refrigerator with apps (RF4289HARS) includes an Epicurious app that provides a shopping list to cook all your favorite recipes.
Once the groceries are home, where to put them? The refrigerator, of course. But when faced with a shortage of space in the fridge, one third (31%) of holiday cooks will throw out older groceries to make room for new -- which raises the question of just how much good food will be wasted during the holidays? The most desperate among us (7%) have even resorted to asking neighbors to temporarily store groceries in their refrigerators. Holiday leftovers only add to the space crunch, with one third (33%) of those who host holiday dinners and have leftovers indicating they would store them in the refrigerator/freezer. Samsung's 31.6 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator (RF323TEDBSR) is the perfect solution for space-challenged holiday cooks. It is the largest in its class with enough room for 32 bags of groceries.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lioness98 from Not even close. I saw this dress online and just had to get it in white. I've bought several dresses from bebe and usually love them. When this dress arrived however I was so dissapointed. The material is cheap and see through and has the same texture as bad pair of spanx. The "chinced" waist is just a poorly gathered area that does nothing to make your waist look good. I'm returning this as soon as I get the chance.

Microsoft highlights future tech
Microsoft opened the doors to its Silicon Valley research center here to show off the latest technologies it has under development. The show, called TechFair 2010 Silicon Valley, is similar to the TechFest events held at Microsoft's main Washington campus.
Microsoft Research is the home to a lot of very smart researchers with PhDs and advanced training in very esoteric technologies who don't worry about selling technology, just how to develop it; the product part comes later.
As Rick Rashid, senior vice president of research at Microsoft noted in his keynote, many key developments have come out of the software giant's research division. He said that "there isn't a product on the...
Microsoft refreshes Dynamics ERP Reporter
As it looks to expand the corporate performance management capabilities in its Dynamic ERP line, Microsoft has begun shipping Management Reporter, an upgrade of its FRx financial analysis application.
With the new tool, Microsoft is promising enhanced reliability and scalability, and direct integration with the general ledger in Dynamics ERP systems already in use.
Datamation takes a look at Microsoft's latest moves on the ERP front.
Microsoft said it has begun shipping Management Reporter for its Dynamics ERP packages, a replacement for its existing Microsoft FRx financial analysis and reporting application for medium-sized businesses.
Microsoft ships new Configuration Manager beta
Microsoft quietly embarked on the next phase of the overhaul of its System Center management suite this week, as the company announced that is has begun shipping the next iteration of its System Center Configuration Manager to beta testers.
The software giant is calling the refresh "v.Next," and bills it as a vehicle for "powerful and flexible user-centric client management." Datamation has the details.
Microsoft quietly announced this week that the next version of System Center Configuration Manager has hit its first beta milestone and has begun shipping to testers.
After two high-profile Microsoft exits
When a massive Microsoft corporate reorganization on September 20, 2005 vaulted Robbie Bach into the role of President of the Entertainment & Devices division, the explanation at the time was to enable the company to focus on devices where the goal was to promote devices, and on platforms where the goal was to promote devices. Xbox was a device, whatever MP3 player the company would decide to produce was a device, and obviously cell phones are devices should Microsoft ever choose to enter that business in earnest.
Obviousness is highly susceptible to changes in perspective, especially over five years' time. Today, with the launch of one of the company's most important gaming initiatives,...
Windows 7: As satisfying as Apple pie
Microsoft has a lot to smile about this week--not least of which is a recent consumer satisfaction study suggesting that Windows 7 has overcome the bad taste in the back of everyone's mouth that Windows Vista caused. According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index, Microsoft's customer satisfaction rating was 74 percent in 2006, right before the company released Windows Vista. After Vista's release, that rating plunged to 70 percent and then, in 2008, to a low of 69 percent. But, finally, Windows 7 shipped in late 2009, selling at almost double the rate of its predecessor. And in the latest survey, Microsoft achieved a customer satisfaction rating of 76 percent. Makes sense, right? I don't...
Office Live Workspace to bow to Office Web Apps, SkyDrive
Late last week, Microsoft began alerting customers of its Office Live Workspace service that they will soon see their online document repositories merged into Windows Live SkyDrive, which provides 25GB of storage space, for free, and offers the ability to edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote documents from the web via Office Web Apps (OWA). Previously, Microsoft had offered little in the way of information about what would happen to Office Live Workspace once SkyDrive offered OWA integration.
Microsoft previews the next Hotmail
Microsoft this morning unveiled its plans for updating its wildly-popular Hotmail webmail service, which currently serves over 370 million active users, or more than the user base of Gmail and Yahoo! Mail combined. The next Hotmail will integrate with various Windows Live wave 4 products, including Office Web Apps and SkyDrive, and will address email clutter and the changing needs of email users.
"You're getting more email than ever, email that often requires you to leave your inbox to complete an action," Microsoft's Dick Craddock explained in a blog post announcing the new Hotmail. "You're getting bigger and bigger attachments, and you're using smartphones where you want to sync not...
Microsoft files suit against click fraudsters
Click fraud has long been a blight on search engines, but Microsoft says that it's taken on a new form. According to the company, the latest scam disguises the source of bogus ad clicks and navigates unsuspecting users to dead-end Web sites.
In response, Microsoft has filed lawsuits to halt the practice and reassure its advertising partners that they will only pay for legitimate clicks. One suit comes against a firm in Texas, the other against a John Doe defendant as Microsoft attempts to trace the culprit.
Windows Server AppFabric, BizTalk near debut
Two key Microsoft tools for enterprise developers are edging toward completion: the new edition of BizTalk Server 2010 and Windows Server AppFabric. That's big news for developers working with Windows Communication Foundation and Windows Workflow Foundation-based composite apps, while BizTalk gives new features to make creating apps simpler and more efficient. CodeGuru takes a look.
Microsoft said it is shipping the long-awaited "release candidate" for Windows Server AppFabric this week, with plans to have the code finalized sometime in June.

Microsoft talks up modeling advancements
Microsoft is unveiling a new initiative aimed at throwing computing power and the cloud behind real-world modeling -- aiming to simplify modeling while making it less resource-intensive.
The idea is to lay the groundwork and promote advancements in improving modeling that could one day benefit everything from combating diseases and making scientific discoveries -- not to mention enhancing modeling in business. CIO Update has the story.
Microsoft executives have a long tradition of sending e-mails to CEOs and other technology influencers to explain how technology change is likely to impact the future -- particularly when that change revolves around Microsoft's technology.
Microsoft shows off redesigned Hotmail
Microsoft has begun dropping hints about what the revamped Windows Live service will look like. First it offered a preview of the next iteration of the Windows Live Messenger IM client, and now the company is offering details about the redesign of Hotmail.
The new Web-based e-mail client will allow users to store documents online through its SkyDrive offering, and will also provide access to Office Web Apps, the cloud-based versions of Microsoft's productivity suite. Datamation takes a look.

Microsoft kills off Response Point IP phone
Although its future had been in doubt for some time, Microsoft has announced the official cancellation of Response Point, a small-business phone system that routed calls over Internet Protocol networks.
In a post on its Web site, Microsoft said it will end sales, development, and support for the phone as of August 31.
"Despite favorable initial response from customers and channel partners since launch, we have not seen the necessary demand materialize to sustain Response Point as a viable standalone business," Microsoft said in the post. "After transitioning Microsoft Response Point to engineering maintenance status a year ago, Microsoft has made the decision to discontinue the...
Microsoft to give governments patch previews
Microsoft has launched a pilot program for governments and critical infrastructure providers to gain access to in-depth technical information about operating system patches before they are released on the second Tuesday of each month.
Senior security program manager lead at the Microsoft Security Response Center, Steve Adegbite, this week launched the Defensive Information Sharing Program (DISP) and the Critical Infrastructure Protection Program (CIPP) at the AusCERT 2010 security conference in Queensland.
Ballmer pitches cloud to fellow CEOs
With a high-power crowd in the audience, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer went hard-core with his sales pitch on the role cloud computing will have for businesses in the coming years.
Speaking to about 125 chief executives and other leaders, Ballmer said that truly big shifts in technology actually don't happen all that often.
"The really big ones you have to totally jump on," Ballmer said during a speech at the company's annual CEO Summit, which runs through Thursday at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Wash. "We are, right now, all of us in the midst of a big one."

Support for a state oil extraction tax is strong and includes large percentages of Democrats, independents and even Republicans, says Tom Steyer, a billionaire former hedge fund investor turned environmentalist and political activist.
Steyer, a San Francisco Democrat, on Wednesday cited a new poll that found that nearly two-thirds of Californians support a tax at the wellhead on every barrel of crude oil pumped from the ground. California, he said, is the only one of 22 major oil-producing states that doesn't collect a so-called severance tax.
The poll was commissioned by NextGen Climate, a nonprofit organization founded by Steyer.
The poll results are "misleading, flawed and disingenuous," said Sabrina Lockhart, spokeswoman for Californians Against Higher Oil Taxes, a coalition that includes the Western States Petroleum Assn. and other business groups. The poll's questions, she said, don't tell respondents that oil companies in California already are taxed on the value of their oil in the ground and also pay other state and local property and income taxes.
The telephone survey of 800 likely voters in the 2016 election was conducted between April 24 and 28 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, said pollster Joel Benenson.
The survey showed that 64% of those queried said they supported the tax, while 27% opposed it. Enthusiasm was higher among Democrats at 71%, with 67% backing from independents and 50% from Republicans.
"Californians definitely believe that oil companies should be paying a fair share of taxes," said Benenson.
Steyer is backing a bill in the Legislature that would tax oil when it's pumped. The measure, SB 1017 by Sen. Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa), was approved by the Senate Goverance and Finance Committee on Wednesday. Steyer said he would push to put an initiative on the November 2016 ballot if Evans' bill fails to become law.
In a second question, Steyer's poll asked likely voters if they wanted to vote to allow the use of hydraulic fracturing in their local counties. The controversial drilling technique involves pumping a mixture of water, sand, chemicals and sometimes acid deep underground to recover oil and natural gas trapped in shale formations.
Seventy-eight percent backed imposing local control while 19% opposed it.

The Final Frontier: Tech Entrepreneurs in Myanmar
The team at Burma Computing Systems (not its real name) had a problem. They had a significant deal with a Singapore customer and were on-site installing bespoke software. The software itself was hosted on servers at BCS's headquarters. The problem was that a) BCS is based in Myanmar, b) this happened four years ago when the country was still closed off from most of the external world and, c) for some reason, all internet connectivity in the country had stopped for four hours. The team at HQ realized they were running out of time and so did what entrepreneurs do best: hustle. They ripped the servers out, threw them into a truck and drove to the Vietnamese border. Getting to the border, they hustled again. After an hour of negotiation they were allowed through and stopped at the first cybercafé. Then, once more: the hustle. Bursting into the café, they found the owner and negotiated exclusive use of his connection. Finally they re-attached the servers, called their teammates in Singapore and re-initiated the installation process, meeting the deadline by the slimmest of margins.
This story was recounted to me when I visited Mynamar in early June as part of the inaugural World Economic Forum on South East Asia. While the majority of our time was spent in Nay Pyi Taw being introduced to the country's broad strategy, we also spent a day at the Myanmar ICT Park meeting local technology entrepreneurs who shared more than a few tales like the one above.
During the day, we were reminded of the stark challenges facing Myanmar's nascent tech industry. The power went out three times, and there was much discussion on the challenge of building an e-commerce business in a country so underdeveloped that it has just one ATM usable to foreigners. Basic services considered essential in Silicon Valley and other technology hubs cannot be relied upon in Myanmar, although the country's leadership is taking all the right steps to fix these issues: improving its legal systems, relaxing financial constraints on external investment, building telecom infrastructure, running an open auction for its cellular spectrum and even adapting university syllabi for modern needs.
These changes will take time, but despite the massive uphill struggle ahead, I found myself excited by the potential the industry has. Why? Because, in years of analyzing why Silicon Valley works and why other, equally well endowed hubs do not, I am not alone in identifying a primary issue being a mentality gap. Maybe it's San Francisco's gold rush history or the anti-establishment streak that defined the area in the 1960s, people in the Valley bring more than money and skills to the table. They bring a belief that what they are working on matters. When their businesses hit inevitable road bumps, they don't give up. The drive is too great. They hustle and hustle and hustle. A pivot here, a re-factoring there, a new round raised and a new team assembled. This was the mentality that I saw in Myanmar. While the decades spent under the wilderness of international embargo may have given rise to massive infrastructural (but ultimately tractable) challenges, those same conditions mean that the entrepreneurs in Myanmar have already proven they can thrive in extremely difficult conditions. Ironically that cultural advantage is the hardest one to create in aspiring entrepreneurial hubs and, as a result, Myanmar may find innovation comes more naturally than for others.

You need 5-leaf rear springs, special BB cross member, BB front springs, BB heater box cover, completeBB radiator assembly, BB Z-bar assembly, BB 2-1/2" exhaust system, the complete engine with correct bracketry, etc., BB wiring harness, on and on and on...... There are way too many cloned Supercars these days for my taste. Keep your eyes open for the correct DZ block. One will show up one day, hopefully in a pricerange that suits you. You can always restore it with another small block and go for the correct engine accessory items found on the Z/28. Then, as time & money permit, look for the DZ block, build the long block and then transplant it into your restored Z/28. The 396 is probably worth the cost of a DZ block and some internals of you're lucky.Steve

4 o'clock, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger
-...tell no one. 5:30, jazzercize. 6:30, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again.
7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing;
I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9 I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness.
I'll be giving my love a new Air-filter

Ah... Valentine's Day, the one holiday in the year where the world kicks you while you're down and laughs at you for being single. Then, even if you avoid that, how can one argue with a holiday that preaches the commercialized version of romance, 'the more you buy them the more they'll love you.'
My plans: I'm planning on having a not-so-romantic dinner by myself consisting of Kraft Dinner and potatoes after which I'll watch the news and play MMO golf before heading to bed.

I can understand what you mean, but incidentally, however commercialised it may be, it's still a nice opportunity for those who do have someone to share the day with to do so. The whole commercial side of it is lessened somewhat by what you make of it.
I can't say I'm the type to go overly dramatic about any type of 'special' day really, but it's a bit of fun, so I'm more than happy to take part.

Regarding your other sardonic comment. Considering the topic is about Valentines Day, I'm typing specifically about what I plan to do on that particular day, since that's what the original poster asked. This has nothing to do with what I plan to do on any other day, nor can I see how it is relevant.
On a further note to Nightbat to conclude this dispute. Valentines Day is only a bit of fun, or at least for me. I don't see it as the pinnacle day of love or anything like that but merely for what it represents. It's like Christmas, it's fun to celebrate it, or in this case, do something romantic. This doesn't necessarily mean I won't do something romantic any other day of the year, not at all, of course I will… All I was saying was, don't frown upon something like Valentines Day, but rather, single or not, like I said before, make the most of it.
