urgh here we go again (Mar 28 2007 23:03 GMT) - I don't even know how to begin I am so mad at the ex I could spit nails. Yesterday I had to be at work at 5am so that left h2b to get my boys off to school (which is not always easy the youngest is not at all a morning person) anyway I get a call at 7:15 saying he can't take it anymore we have to figure out something with the little one. I tell him to calm down and tell me what happened apparently after trying to get him out of bed several times and him not getting up h2b picked him up and put him on his feet and told him to go get his shoes on( he already had his clothes on I dress him while he is still asleep before I leave so there is one less battle) well little one runs into the living room looking for me of course I was not there so the temper tantrum starts he begins screaming and kicking and crying h2b keeps telling him to get his shoes on so he can go to the sitter to get his medicine and catch the bus. Well he just would not put them on so finally h2b sits him on the couch and attempts to put them on him needless to say that didn't go over well. |

Semi-identieke tweeling ontdekt (Mar 28 2007 23:01 GMT) - Naast de identieke en de twee-eiige tweelingen bestaat er nu ook een derde mogelijkheid: de semi-identieke tweeling. Dat zegt de nieuwsdienst van het vakblad Nature. De semi-identieke tweeling is een tweeling die identiek is langs moederskant, maar slechts de helft van hun vaders genen delen. Een resultaat wanneer twee zaadcellen de eicel binnendringen. |

Hurgando en el avispero (Mar 28 2007 23:00 GMT) - Los osos entienden de esto visiblemente más que mi amigo Emilio. Usan un palito o similar. Emilio ha metido el hocico y le han salido unos bichos de lo más incordiante en el blog. Algunos de ellos con título académico, con lo que no nos ha de extrañar que las recientes revisiones historiográficas resulten [...] |

And Oregon Makes 5 for ODF - With a Twist (Mar 28 2007 23:00 GMT) - Andy Updegrove writes "In what is beginning to seem like a legislative drumbeat, Oregon has become the fourth US state this year to see an open document format bill introduced in its legislature. Taken together with pioneer Massachusetts, which led the way with an administrative rule adopted in 2005, this means that individual legislators in 10% of all US States have thus far taken steps to require that governments must be responsible stewards of public records. While the Oregon bill falls into a current trend, it is in some ways less similar to the bills introduced earlier this year than they are to each other. Most notably, it would establish a clear preference for open formats that are deployed in the greatest variety of programs and services that are available as "free ware," which it defines as " computer software made available or distributed to the public for use free of charge for an unlimited time." Through this and other provisions, it is clear that only ODF, and not Microsoft's OOXML, would pass muster for the foreseeable future in Oregon - if, of course, the bill passes. |
