...even after weeks of preparing for the inevitable takedown, even knowing that half a million people played Scrabulous every day, Hasbro still couldn't handle the traffic at the switchover. The site crashed like a carload of clowns at the circus early Tuesday. Soon, a notice was posted on Facebook: "We're working on some tech problems and Scrabble will be ready to play as soon as possible!" the developers wrote, adding that "we're making changes to Scrabble for its official launch in mid-August...
Frenk emphasized the global nature of public health in a phone interview on Tuesday, saying that his top priority as dean would be to strengthen the school’s rapport with the rest of the world. Frenk, who was health minister from 2000 to 2006, was the founding director-general of Mexico's National Institute of Public Health and later served as an executive director of the World Health Organization. He is currently a senior fellow in the global health program at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation."In these and other leadership roles, he has emerged over...

Finally, Ferrell, the Hollywood star most notorious for going naked in his movies, shows off only his belly, and that for a teasing second. For most of the rest of the time, you'll be reveling in, or enduring, one more exhibition of grown men playing...
When asked Tuesday if Obama would use executive or legislative means - or a combination thereof - to repeal "Don't ask, don't tell," campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor issued a statement saying, "As President, Senator Obama would work in consultation with our military leaders to submit legislation to Congress repealing 'Don't ask, don't tell' and advocate for its passage." The trouble is, while the long legislative process of repealing the law unspools, many gays in the military will almost certainly lose their jobs. Because the military is fighting two wars, commanders discharge only about 600 bisexuals, gays and lesbians...
