| Giada dishes on her bun in the oven
A little over a month away from her April 3 due date, TODAY culinary contributor and mom-to-be Giada De Laurentiis is thinking a lot about steak, baby names and the changes her body is going through. Though the Food Network star has been working and traveling throughout her pregnancy, she's about to return home to California — and to her husband, clothing designer Todd Thompson — to settle in for the wait. As she leaned back into an easy chair and put her feet up, the 37-year-old seemed happy but tired, admitting, “I feel awesome in the morning, but around four or five o'clock my energy crumbles." But De Laurentiis has had some good support from her family and her husband of four years. “Todd's been fantastic," she says. “He's very nervous, but excited." However, the couple is having a hard time agreeing on a name for their daughter-to-be.
Danish Court Tells ISP To Block PirateBay
I'm a Dane, and I can tell you that 90% of the population can choose between 3 or more ISP's. The problem is that the other ISP's tend to follow (don't ask me why) like they did with allofmp3.com and mp3sparks.com. You can say what you want about allofmp3, TPB and how useless a DNS block is, but it's a very slippery slope. This is pretty much as pure censorship as it gets (which is forbidden in the danish "Grundloven" just like in the US Constitution), and if it's allowed to continue there is no telling where it will end.

Enabling Animal House: America Needs to Create Rational Higher Ed ...
America needs to invest more financial resources to help address a looming shortage of college graduates needed for the high-tech economy of tomorrow. Or do we? Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, current chair of the National Governor's Association, used her 2008 State of the State address to call for doubling the number of college graduates in Arizona by 2020. Napolitano proposed paying the tuition for students who graduate high school with a B average to accomplish this goal. “We must recognize that higher education is something that all Arizona children will need to succeed," stated Governor Napolitano. In the Carnegie Foundation's publication Change, Paul Barton wrote that the notion that the U.S. has a dire need for an ever increasing number of college graduates is a myth.
Obama Che Guevara Flag ‘Scandal’
That's the Cuban flag with the image of Ernesto Che Guevara superimposed on it. It's tacked onto the wall of an office in Barack Obama's Houston campaign headquarters. An office belonging, apparently, to a low level staffer who's in charge of setting up the office. I'm immediately reminded of a line from Charlie Daniels' breakout hit, Uneasy Rider: "I betchya he's even got a commie flag tacked up on the wall inside of his garage." The classic response: "I ain't even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife!" But I digress. Here are the headlines of some select reactions to the Obama flag flap: Ed Morrissey: "A Flag Obama Supporters Salute?" Charles Johnson: "Che Guevara Flags in Obama's Houston Office" Texas Communists For Obama (Apparently They Were Out of Himmler) Matt Bramanti: "Obama office adores psychotic Marxist thug" Ed Driscoll: "Sixties Radical Chic, Frozen In Amber" Curt@Flopping Aces and Don Surber weigh in with "Che Obama" Michael Goldfarb: "Che You Can Believe In" Morrissey is simultaneously fair and not: Does Obama know his Houston supporters honor a terrorist in his campaign office? I'm sure he doesn't.
9/11 is the Litmus Test.
There is one thing that defines everyone over the course of these early years of this new century. That thing is the 9/11 attack. Everyone in government and every field of endeavor the world over is defined by their position on this event. It is not necessary to know the truth. It is only necessary to know the extent of the lies in order to define any leader in any position anywhere in the world. By what they have said and by what they have not said, one can accurately judge who is an enemy of the people’s of the world. One can accurately determine who is a tool of the psychopaths or one of them. Think about what you allow yourself to know. Think about what you pass by; ignore, deny and defend ...that defines you. It defines the degree of your personal courage, your relationship to the truth, your values, your principles and what you will pass on to your children and everyone you meet.
The Barr Code
Still, all is not lost for the elder statesman from Arizona. In every election, at least some Republican voters have shown themselves as willing as their Democrat counterparts to lay principles aside for electoral victory. Unfortunately for McCain, the number of conservative voters predisposed to do this again this year, after the disappointing experience of the last eight years, is unlikely to be sufficient for him to overcome his considerable ideological baggage, especially since many of those voters already have tasted of much more exciting and principled candidates like Paul and Huckabee.

Halt Islamic banking study, group says
However, I have been told that Islamic Banking in Pakistan has a history of major scandals and flops where hundreds of thousands lost their savings. I hope that Canadian agencies are more careful in regulating these instruments.
