YahooGroups in trouble

Last month it was subscription settings going all kablooey. Now it's long periods of unavailability and, just this morning, messages disappearing entirely.

I'm going to look into migrating groups that I manage somewhere else.

finally!

Lieberman out.

I think the rest of the race will be about who's going to be the VP nominee, Clark or Edwards...

Saudi Arabia

maybe I just need to go to Ibiza

Professor Mark Bellis and colleagues from the Centre for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University interviewed Britons between the ages of 16 and 35 at Ibiza Airport at the end of their holiday.

They found that half of those who had travelled to the island without a partner had sex during their stay. Just 60% said they always used a condom.

Many of those questioned said they had slept with more than one person during their holiday.

Some 11% of men and 3% of women had sex with six or more partners.

Mostly the story is about the alarming rise of STIs that result from all this careless licentiousness.

"I think everybody's focusing on the finale, but a lot of what we've heard in terms of complaints and the breadth of the investigation is a little broader than just that incident," Powell said on ABC's "Good Morning America. "I personally was offended by the entire production."

And this is really what it boils down to, IMO. )

The Massachusetts high court ruled Wednesday that only full, equal marriage rights for gay couples -- rather than civil unions -- would be constitutional, erasing any doubts that the nation's first same-sex marriages would take place in the state beginning in mid-May.
