| Sketch: MA Bell for President
Obviously," the candidate answered, "I was there for a lot of phone calls at different times of the day and night, and I have a very clear idea of what it takes to be prepared and ready to not only answer the phone but then to make the decisions." Sorry to break in on this party line, but here's an important announcement for Democrats: You are doing John McCain's work for him. While the presumptive Republican nominee rests, the two remaining Democratic candidates are working as hard as they can to make each other appear unfit to lead. "Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign, I will bring a lifetime of experience, and Senator Obama will bring a speech he gave in 2002," a derisive Clinton said yesterday to the retired military officers at the Westin in Dupont Circle.
Seomra Spraoi calls for solidarity and support
Seomra Spraoi is a large and vibrant social centre, just off Capel St in Dublin. It is used by small campaign and informal groups for meetings, workshops and is also a place where arts, crafts and children's activities take place.
For a community of people engaged in seeking positive social change, it is a point of contact, a source of resources and information and a base for skills and knowledge sharing. Recently, the gardai have succeeded in having the place temporarily shut down, presenting the collective that runs the centre with a complex legal and bureaucratic situation. Maybe you can be of some assistance.

New on Amazon's Shelves: Storage for Startups
EC2 lets its customers quickly start up a virtual computer in the "cloud" -- industry slang for data centers around the world -- then use it as a Web server or for crunching data and shut it down just as fast. "I don't need to have a systems administrator or a network administrator," said Chief Executive Chris Gay. "I don't have to worry about hardware becoming irrelevant." Gay said he also uses Amazon's online payments service and is evaluating its data storage and simple database services. During the first dot-com boom, he said, "It was a badge of strength to have as much as possible in house. "Now, unless that is your core business...it's a liability." Adam Selipsky, vice president of product management and developer relations for Amazon Web Services, said Amazon wants entrepreneurs to focus on their ideas, not on hardware leases and crashing servers.
How effective are the promo spots airing on local TV?
I love the total idiotic shamelessness on display here. And I happily admit that I've been chanting 'News Never Stops' at my wife all day. Can I get a copy of the single on iTunes?" WFXT (Channel 25):More Hours of News
The professor: "It's upbeat. They give you one clear reason to watch them, more news than other stations. The graphic animation is almost reminiscent of a clock turning in a 24-hour cycle. They stick to that unique message throughout: more news for the viewers." The student: "This one is pretty clear in their message: They offer more opportunities to see the news at any given time of the day. There is an overarching theme of accessibility and availability to watch the news. If something is changed from the morning, you will hear about it at night." The author: "After watching 'News Never Stops,' I thought for sure Fox would bust out the pole dancers and techno.
Dion hints Liberals willing to let budget stand
Care to try and make your point without attacking his english (which is as good or better than Harper's french, IMO), his heritage, his physique, or other superficial and irrelevant things?
Can you do it?
Didn't think so.
Don't feel too bad....neither can the CPC. Their attack ads are all sizzle and no steak. And pathetic, to boot.
That's why your hero's party is basically in a tie with Dion's in the polls.
That's why Harper will never get his majority.
Thank goodness. Posted 19/02/08 at 1:52 AM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .
iPhone SDK: Apple to approve, distribute apps, limit accs
According to several sources familiar with Apple's iPhone and iPod touch software development kit (SDK) plans, the company will use a March 6 event in Cupertino, California to formally announce a number of potentially controversial limitations on application development and publishing. Our sources spoke on the condition that their comments were not for attribution, independently confirming the following details, and offering differing opinions of their importance. We include both the details and opinions below for your reference. iTunes Store as hub. Least controversially, Apple plans to require that all mobile applications be distributed through its iTunes Store, making the Store a necessary hub for those interested in browsing or purchasing iPhone and iPod touch software.
Name the Catch finalists
Your readers obviously have more mental capacity than your so-called "panel of experts" at the Daily News. The significance of the Super Bowl catch was the fact that Tyree used his head to secure the ball - this quality should definitely be prominent in the catchphrase. The only entry in your top five that suggests this is "The Hat Trick", but this title makes every educated sports fan think of hockey. The obvious winning choice is the "Cranium Cling" Catch (submitted by me - February 28, 2008; 11:58 a.m. - too bad you guys didn't get past the first 100 entries). The word "cranium" is a unique, appealing synonym for "head" and the word "cling" is a perfect word to describe the fashion in which Tyree secured the ball as he went down (it also brings to mind the phrase, "cling to victory" which is also perfectly suitable to the situation).
High-pressure Storm: Norm Roberts feels heat as St. John's flounders
The team is 10-16 after Saturday's 30-point loss at Duke, and a dialogue about the program's future is percolating. In high school gyms, on the talk-radio airwaves and among St. John's most loyal and influential supporters, the question is asked whether the school will stick with Roberts or make a change. A determination probably is still weeks away and the value of Roberts' successes and failures will be measured by the university president, the Rev. Donald J. Harrington, and athletic director, Chris Monasch. "I'm not willing to pass judgment on a season until it's a complete season," Monasch said. "We knew our record would probably take a step back this year. The criteria we're looking for is whether there's a good core of players to build on." Roberts has removed the tarnish from the sex scandal and the subsequent revelation about illegal payments to a player.
