...speech attacking Iraq-war critics last week, a black X flashed across his face for a total of 0.14 seconds. It took outraged conservatives only slightly longer to post allegations of media bias, with THE FILTHY ONE dubbing CNN "the al-Jazeera of the West." But skeptics accepted the network's apology for the glitch--"a dumb one," noted blogger MICHELLE MALKIN--after some graphic-savvy sleuthing at THE DAN REPORT.

...Mali - where remittances account for 3.2% of the country's national income - with wads of euros stuffed in their pockets and luggage. With about 300 people from his village of Ambadedi working in Paris - an estimated one-quarter of Ambadedi's entire population - the community has a well-organized network to transfer money, much of which is aimed at avoiding the hefty commissions from banks.

...problem with viewing pictures on the Xbox is that when you connect it over your home network to a PC full of family pictures (using free Windows Media Connect software available at Microsoft.com), the Xbox tosses the organization structure of your pics out the window. In my own My Pictures folder, there's a folder for each year, subdivided within with each photographic event. The Xbox lists all photos within your My Pictures folder, but without the hierarchy, so collections of pics from 2001 were listed confusingly alongside those from...
...volunteer at the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter every Thursday night. In October, the fraternity co-sponsored a party with the Delta Gamma sorority to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina. For its next community service endeavor, Sigma Chi plans to collaborate with the Children’s Miracle Network to raise money for Children’s Hospital in Boston. They will collect money, toys, and clothing after Thanksgiving and continuing through the holiday season. “It’s nice to see college students that are invested in making a difference in the Boston community...
