Make private companies happy. Don't worry about the environment. Stop fretting about long-term sustainability. Forget renewables, property concerns, the safety of our water and air. Make private companies happy.
This was the 43rd president's message to the current administration at the DUG East conference held by the shale gas industry on Thursday.
With characteristic bluntness, George W. Bush spoke his mind on energy policy to several thousand oil and gas executives gathered in Pittsburgh at an exclusive luncheon on Wednesday.
"I think the goal of...
Oil Execs to the Big House Over Climate Change?
Oil Execs to the Big House Over Climate Change?
Should oil executives be prosecuted for high crimes against humanity? Top NASA scientist Jim Hansen thinks so.
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, Hansen said,
Clearly many the scientific community have finally had it with being nice with the oil lobby…
For years scientists in their pedantic and thoughtful way have sought to inform the public about the growing dangers of climate change. For years, the oil lobby responded by hiring some of the best people in the PR industry to confuse the public debate about this planetary emergency. In that battle for the hearts and minds of the public around climate science, truth hardly stood a chance.
Indeed, the oil industry's efforts to delay meaningful action will likely go down in history as the most audacious, cynical and successful public relations campaign in history.
How successful? Lets put it this way, when Jim Hansen gave a groundbreaking speech to congress June 23 1988, he said the evidence of the greenhouse gas effect was 99% certain, adding "it is time to stop waffling."
Fast-forward twenty years. A poll done last week on behalf of the Guardian showed that the majority of Britons still doubt that humans are responsible for climate change, or feel that scientists are exaggerating the threat.
The cynical strategy of trying to confound the public around science is of course not new. For years, Big Tobacco managed to delay regulation of their very dangerous product by denying the science. The tobacco lobby once stated plainly in a secret memo "doubt is our product."
Sound familiar? Similar efforts by the oil industry are indeed the reason that DesmogBlog was started by James Hoggan - to try and expose this heinous effort on the part of some of his professional colleagues to conceal the truth.
But Hansen has a point in laying the blame, not at the feet of the PR industry, but on the people who paid them. The top professionals in any field do not work for free and clearly someone was footing a big bill for this sophisticated campaign.
As for jail time, is it reasonable to ask that oil executives be chucked in the hooscow? Law and justice often have little to do with each other and I am sure that these wealthy and powerful people would employ every trick in the book to avoid being held legally accountable for their conduct.
But the immorality of seeking to delay action on climate change will come into sharper focus as global warming proceeds. I have no doubt that it will one day be seen in same light as standing outside a burning orphanage and telling the arriving firemen that there is nothing going on and they all should go home.

=For years, the oil lobby responded by hiring some of the best people in the PR industry to confuse the public debate about this planetary emergency.=
Not true. Pennies can't do propaganda. And the public is not "confused", we are "skeptical", because we choose not to be bullied by scientists and over aggressive greenies.
=In that battle for the hearts and minds of the public around climate science, truth hardly stood a chance.=
Poor truth; I'm tearing up. But don't blame oil companies for your failure to run roughshod over the democratic will of the people.
=Indeed, the oil industry's efforts to delay meaningful action will likely go down in history as the most audacious, cynical and successful public relations campaign in history.=
Spoken like a true zealot. We, the people are the enemy of hasty, poorly though out action. It is us you have to get deal with. Get used to it.
=As for jail time, is it reasonable to ask that oil executives be chucked in the hooscow?=
Sure. Why not? Put their spouses and kid in jail too. Forget about a trial as you just know they're guilty. Time is of the essence.
After all, in the lust for power, environmentalists are only thinking about their great great grandchildren's children.
"When you are in that kind of position, as the CEO of one the primary players who have been putting out misinformation even via organizations that affect what gets into school textbooks, then I think that's a crime."
Well, when Hansen is made Emperor, he'll get to choose what is and isn't a "crime". Until then, Hansen will continue to receive the derision and scorn he so richly deserves.

Man, weather has been so nice, the motivation to do anything other than play outside has been non existent.
Watched Idol last night, and Casey needs to go home. I mean, he NEEDS to GO HOME. Pretty boy ain't good enough. Personally, I like Crystal, though Lee is fine, it bothered me how much they orchestrated his "moment" last night. Clearly, they want Lee to win, and I think it's because Lee isn't as defined as Crystal is, and the winner of Idol doesn't have near the control over their album as the 2nd place finisher. So while Crystal is my fav, I really hope she doesn't win, because I want to like her album.

New dub episodes are currently being released. Yes Netflix finally got the first 48 episodes, but Funimation has started up again. I'm too lazy to check but if i were to guess I think there are about 68 dubbed episodes right now. I wouldn't be surprised if it were less. They should still be on the Oracion Seis arc still.

On June 12, 2012, the State Board of Education unanimously adopted Ohio's New Learning Standards for K-12 World Languages. The standards are composed of a set of three independent standards documents, which are aligned with Ohio's primary world language program articulations:
a. Kindergarten through 12th grade; b. 6th through 12th grades; and c. 9th through 12th grades.
These Learning Standards will be fully in use in Ohio classrooms by 2014-2015. ODE encourages districts to begin implementing these learning standards in world language classrooms now to better prepare students for 2014-2015 and beyond.

You don't have to live with your tattoo for the rest of your life – even though this is often claimed to be the case. However, until recently the methods of tattoo removal were extremely painful and were not very good for your health or particularly effective. Anyone who underwent tattoo removal had to live with scars and often irreversible colour alteration. Skinial Non Laser Tattoo Removal offers a new and gentle form of tattoo removal. With Skinial we remove your tattoo completely and safely without causing additional/potential damage to your health.
Interview with the surgeon and owner of the RADS Beauty Clinic in Madrid, Dr. Francesco MANCINI about Skinial and Tattoo removal without laser
We remove your tattoo without laser. Using a special physiological and natural liquid which acts as a colour remover. Our technicians remove small areas of the epidermis and the liquid is introduced into the tattooed skin. With this method the encapsulated pigment is irritated and the body pushes it to the surface of the skin. With our method we can remove multi-coloured tattoos which are not possible with laser. These are the advantages of Skinial. Tattoo Removal with laser causes the coloured tattooed pigments to be released uncontrolled into the body. Scientists who examined test patients discovered deposits of the ink and impurities in the lymph nodes of the spleen and liver. For the health of our clients our Skinial method for tattoo removal has been developed by qualified doctors and pharmacologists. Clients feel comfortable with the removal procedure, the same as when getting a tattoo. Our method reduces health risks to a minimum.
If you decide to remove your tattoo with Skinial you will be informed in advance about all the steps. Firstly, it is very important to have a consultation where you can discuss with your Skinial Technician about your tattoo and your wishes. We will estimate how many treatments will be needed and the cost of each treatment. The cost of the tattoo removal depends decisively on the number of treatments you need. With the Skinial method you usually need far less treatments that with the laser method.

In its own oddball way, "I'm Not There" is among the best pieces of music criticism I've seen or read on the subject of Bob Dylan. It is a jigsaw puzzle, with its various pieces scattered around the table by a deft, if quirky hand. It's a film that rewards close attention and deserves repeated viewings. The film's one significant omission is the place of Judaism in Dylan's life.

The Center for 21st Century Communities (21c3) values the impact of entrepreneurs on our transition to a new economy. We have many talented, creative entrepreneurs and business leaders here in Michigan already, and there is surely room for more individuals, start-ups and new economy businesses to join the "entrepreneurial revolution."
As best-selling author Seth Godin says in a video interview featured on Entrepreneur magazine's website; "For 150 years, we lived in an industrial economy. The industrial revolution lead to the industrial. Now it's over. Now there's a revolution going on and the industrial economy is ending," replaced by an "entrepreneurial revolution," he says.
A little while ago, Junior Achievement of Southeastern Michigan, in partnership with dbusiness magazine and News/Talk 760 WJR, put out a call for nominations identifying "Champions of the New Economy" in Michigan. Five entrepreneurs and business leaders "in metro Detroit who are moving southeast Michigan's economy forward," shared their stories with WJR Business Editor Tom Campbell in a series of radio interviews, in early 2010, and dbusiness published an extensive article on "Champions of the New Economy" in May / June 2010, which features additional profiles and interviews with the five men.

Comment From MC:
I'm looking for ideas: what are some places that are good deals for fall travel?
Peter Greenberg:
thanks for your question. but could you be any more....general? (lol)
give me more specifics to start with, ok?
Comment From Mike:
What's the best way to meet people when traveling solo? And, are there any good spots in Europe for singles traveling solo?
Peter Greenberg:
travel with george clooney in "up in the air" part 2!
seriously, there are a number of great travel companies that specialize in solo travels -- backroads bike tours, intrepid travel overseas -- and they don't charge a single supplement, which is very good!
Comment From MC:
I have a passport, love warm weather, need someplace pretty cheap....
Peter Greenberg:
then go off season to the caribbean or to ski resorts in colorado and wyoming.....better deals, smaller crowds, better service! and don't let the off season scare you -- it's my favorite season because it's actually a myth. be a contrarian traveler and go!
Comment From L.C.:
One of the most frustrating things I've come across as a solo traveller is seeing a great vacation package advertised, only to get hit with the single supplement charge, which can be hundreds of dollars. Any other alternatives to this situation?
Peter Greenberg:
i totally agree with you. the dreaded solo supplement, or the words "double occupancy" at hotels. but thankfully this is changing. for example, the new ncl ship epic, which comes on line in late june, will feature more than 120 cabins designed and built -- and priced -- just for solo travelers. it's about time!
Comment From Doug from NJ:
What's your most important safety trip for anyone traveling alone?
Peter Greenberg:
when checking into a hotel, never let them announce your room number at the front desk. you lose no points in asking that a uniformed member of the staff to escort you to your room. ask the bellman or the maid their favorite neighborhoods, because safety is important to them as well, and where they would and wouldn't go..basic common sense prevails and you can go just about anywhere!
POLL: When do you plan on taking your next 'solo' trip?
This Spring
( 10% )
This Summer
( 40% )
Next Year
( 30% )
I'd be lucky to get even a day off work
( 20% )
Comment From Dora:
How about cruises for single people? I'm not looking for a meat market.
Peter Greenberg:
dora, i just mentioned ncl. but msc cruises also is offering a great discount for solo travelers this fall on their new england and canada trips. and more deals are coming as the cruise industry slowly but surely realizes that solo travelers area robust and potent economic force
Comment From Will from VA:
What are some of the most adventurous foods you've tried from across the world?
Peter Greenberg:
adventurous? well let's start with aboriginal grub in the outback....worms you'd never want to see, but i ate them! not fun. (and no, they did NOT taste just like chicken!
but then there's kava, in the remote outer islands of the lau archipelago in fiji. an amazing peppery drink that i had to drink with the elders in the island village...and it became a regular ritual each night!
Comment From Terry:
Has there been any destination you've visited that was particularly ill-suited for visiting alone?
Peter Greenberg:
check out my book DONT GO THERE, which lists the MUST MISS places of the world, based on crime, pollution, toxicity, deadly highways.....the list is pretty long...now, having said that, i still went...didn't i?
Comment From Nancy:
I'm completely broke but want to somehow make a "pilgrimage" to my ancestors' homeground, Scotland, England, Northern Ireland. I'm a lite hiker and love to walk anywhere, but in cool weather. I'm also a textile designer/weaver and Scotland pulls me especially. When is the best time weatherwise (cool) and where can I get the most hiking and arts for my Euro?
Peter Greenberg:
i'm fond of june and september in scotland, the magic months there. cool, it stays light longer, and the euro is not in scotland. i'm particularly fond of scotland, and with all due respect to shirley maclaine, i actually believe i lived in scotland in a previous life. the place is magical!
Comment From Guest:
I often travel alone but have some health problems (passing out, blood clots). What can I do to ensure that I get proper health care in a foreign land?
Peter Greenberg:
medical insurance outside the u.s. doesn't really cover you for things like this. so i recommend that you carry with you copies of your prescriptions written in both the brand name of the drugs you need, as well as the generic name of your medicine. further, i am a big fan of emergency medical evacuation and repatriation insurance. i carry a card from med jet (it's an annual premium) and it's the one card i'm glad i carry and hope to never use, but it i get sick or injured anywhere overseas, they will -- in consultation with my own doctor -- medically evacuate me and take me to the doctor and hospital of MY choice.
Comment From Sarah:
I've never traveled alone before...any pieces of advice for a first-time solo traveler?
Peter Greenberg:
the worst four letter word that starts with f is....FEAR. so don't be afraid. it's all about seeking -- and finding common ground wherever you go. people with like interests, affinities...strike up conversations with everyone you meet. remember --- it's more important to be interested than interesting, and you'd be surprised at what results from those conversations...lifelong friendships, incredible experiences...and fun. i practice this myself all the time in cleveland...and cairo....

The stars of The Hunger Games were out in full force at last night's LA premiere of the film at the Nokia Theatre. Jennifer Lawrence was rocking a very Cinna-approved dress, mirroring her character Katniss as the girl in gold. Upcoming MuchMusic guests Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson and Alexander Ludwig also hit the red carpet to represent the men of The Hunger Games.
And of course, Kylie and Kendall Jenner were there. I'm starting to worry about these two. When do they go to school? Plus, bonus Cody Simpson, Elizabeth Banks, Wes Bentley and more!

Some days, from the moment I wake up until the time I go to sleep, are just plain bad. No matter how much positive thinking I do, I can't shake the negativity. It's like the 24-hr-cold of emotion.
Today was such a day.
I'm not telling you this to get sympathy. I don't expect you to care. Honestly. But I noticed that I deal with these kinds of days differently than I used to, and I hope that my transparency can be of some use. Continue reading

News and notes from area and statewide high school sports.
Arrowhead cruises to Division 1 title
Madison - Just as many expected, Arrowhead took care of business Friday and won the school's first state football title in five years.
The Warhawks defeated previously undefeated Sun Prairie, 35-14, at Camp Randall Stadium, racking up 306 yards in the first half and playing with a running clock most of the second half thanks to its 35-point lead.
Senior quarterback Brady Kelliher completed 14 of 20 passes for 217 yards and three touchdowns in the decisive first half when Arrowhead jumped out to a 35-0 lead. Senior Dom Todarello caught five passes for 75 yards during that stretch and threw for a touchdown in the second quarter.
The outcome of the game was clear pretty early. Junior Ricky Finco turned a short catch from Kelliher into a 33-yard touchdown for the Warhawks' first touchdown with 9 minutes 30 seconds left in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, Todarello capped a 10-play 70-yard drive with a 3-yard pass to Brandon Kim to make it 14-0.
And when Steve Radeztsky caught a 10-yard touchdown with 9:47 left in the half the rout was on.
Arrowhed finished the year 13-0. Sun Prairie, the Big Eight champion, dropped to 12-1.

Congrats to Arrowhead. Impressive team. Amazing how far high school athletics has come to hire a coach from Florida
Great season by Arrowhead, but would love to see an Arrowhead/Homestead match up. The two best teams should play each other. Forget enrollment. Do it like other states. Merit and ability.
Every state has divisions. In fact, most southern states have as many or more than WI.
Arrowhead really isnt that good. Actually homestead had a losing record this year if you want to include their entire schedule. Both teams are below average at best compared to real average teams and stuf
Wrong and wrong.
How do you know that Homestead is one of the two best teams? They had a loss during the regular season, and played some close games. Hudson and Sun Prairie, who both were POUNDED by Arrowhe
ad, were undefeated. If you've seen both Arrowhead and Homestead this year, you'd know the game wouldn't be very close. Sorry.-
You are probably correct but that should be expected, arrowhead has over twice the population and should be two schools. Homestead does more with less kids
You are probably correct but that should be expected, arrowhead has over twice the population and should be two schools. Homestead does more with less kids
You are probably correct but that is to be expected with over twice the population. They should be two schools. Homestead does more with less.
Gee, with that logic, Stevens Point, with 1000 kids more than Arrowhead, should win every year. Don't know if they have even one title. There's more to it than that.
Following college and high school football (I only follow the NFL come playoff time) is a harmless past time of mine and I can tell you without a doubt that this year's Arrowhead team is arguably the best in state history.
The mid 1980s Manitowoc Lincoln teams would've been defeated by this current Arrowhead team. The Milw Marquette team from a few years ago with that phenomenal D would've been defeated by this Arrowhead team. The sensational Kimberly teams from four and five years ago would've been beaten by this Arrowhead team. All those excellent D.C. Everest teams would've been defeated by this Arrowhead team.
The second best team in the state this year was Hudson and Arrowhead defeated them handily. The third best team in the state this year was Sun Prairie and Arrowhead trounced them.
Arrowhead is ranked nationally for a reason (5th in the Midwest according to PrepNation) - they're absolutely outstanding this year.

Georgia, Ala. Immigration Laws Challenged In Court
A federal appeals court hears arguments Thursday in legal challenges to tough new state immigration laws in Alabama and Georgia. The Justice Department and civil rights groups have sued. At issue are both civil rights violations, and whether states can constitutionally engage in immigration enforcement.

For the people of Newtown and for people across the country, 9:30 a.m. was a time to stop, listen and remember.
Bells rang in the Connecticut town and in churches and other buildings in multiple states Friday morning to remember the 20 children and six women who were gunned down at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School at that hour a week ago.
Standing in rain -- some holding umbrellas and others letting the water wash over their bowed heads -- people in Newtown gathered outside various locations and paused as multiple churches rang their bells, once for each victim.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman stood with others under the awning of Newtown's Edmond Town Hall, listening to bells of a nearby church. People also paused elsewhere in town -- under a tent that covered the numerous flowers and stuffed animals left as a memorial -- and outside various churches.
Some closed their eyes. Some put hands on their hearts. All stood nearly still as the bells rang.
At least one Newtown church rang its bells 28 times, marking the deaths of the school's 26 victims; the gunman's mother, who was slain before the shooter went to the school; and the gunman himself, who authorities say committed suicide after the shootings.
Three pastors at that church, Newtown United Methodist, took turns ringing the bell.
In the state Capitol building in Hartford, a bell was rung for each of the school's 26 victims after their names were read. "Amazing Grace" was sung afterward.
Bells were rung at the National Cathedral in Washington and the Cathedral of Saint Mary in Miami. Traders at the New York Stock Exchange paused silently for one minute before the opening bell.
Earlier, in a letter to other governors across the country, Malloy noted how the shooting in his state has resonated nationwide.
"Mourning this tragedy has extended beyond Newtown, beyond the borders of Connecticut, and has spread across the nation and the world," he said. "On behalf of the State of Connecticut, we appreciate the letters and calls of support that have been delivered to our state and to the family members during their hour of need."
At least 29 states declared a moment of silence for Friday morning, with flags flying at half-staff. People mourned on the Internet, as well: Some websites went dark at the urging of Silicon Valley venture capitalist Ron Conway, who came up with the idea at a Christmas party attended by Gabby Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman who was wounded in a 2011 shooting that killed six.
Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma suggested that residents wear green, Sandy Hook's school color. In Alaska, the Capitol's bell was scheduled to ring at 9:30 a.m. local time. The bell is a full-scale replica of the Liberty Bell.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and Texas Gov. Rick Perry called for residents of their states to pause to reflect one week after the shooting rampage. Perry also asked that churches ring their bells 26 times in honor of the victims at the school.
In an open letter to the people of Newtown in Friday's Hartford Courant, first lady Michelle Obama wrote that she and President Barack Obama are "holding you and your families in our hearts."
"As a mother of two young daughters, my heart aches for you and your families. Like so many Americans, I wish there were something -- anything -- I could do or say to ease your anguish," Michelle Obama wrote.
Although she "cannot begin to imagine the depths of your grief," she paid tribute to "the countless acts of courage, kindness and love here in Newtown and across America."
The states that observed a moment of silence are Alaska, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Obama ordered flags to half-staff last Friday after the shooting. Flags are also flying at half-staff this Friday.
In Danbury, Connecticut, about 12 miles west of Newtown, the congregation of United Methodist Church of Danbury gathered to pray, CNN affiliate WFSB reported.

Japanese premium PC case maker Abee announced the ACE-G40 line of cubical micro-ATX cases. Made of aluminum alloy panels with SECC steel framework, these cases are designed with a perforated metal strip lining its front, which lets it draw air from a 120 mm fan. The ACE-G40 is available in two color options, silver (ACE-G40-S), and black (ACE-G40-BK). Its motherboard tray gives you enough room for CPU coolers as tall as 75 mm, and graphics cards as long as 270 mm. The ACE-G40 can hold a 5.25-inch drive, three 3.5-inch drives or up to six 2.5-inch ones. In addition to the 120 mm front-intake, the case has just enough room for a 92 mm rear exhaust. Measuring 269 x 318 x 249 mm (WxDxH), its dry-weight is 4.6 kg. Source: Hermitage Akihabara
Naah, You would have to wiggle it back and forth quite a bit for that to happen. You would have to force it back and forth actually.
Damn it all to hell, THIS! I have wanted an Abee case for the last 3 years! It seems they're moving further away from their large towers, several aren't even offered on their site anymore. They had one ATX chassis that was just so slick I would have given a finger for it! Also, they should make a phone case for HTC phones like the One X. Their phone cases are amazing.

Outlook 2013
Outlook 2010
Outlook 2007
Recently, we talked about how we've reimagined cloud services for Windows 8 and Windows Phone. And we described new apps for Windows 8, updates to SkyDrive, and how cloud services power the new Office Preview, We've also been hard at work on a mission to reimagine personal email - from the datacenter all the way to the user experience. Today, we're starting to deliver on that goal with a preview of the new Outlook.com - modern email designed for the next billion mailboxes.
Webmail was first introduced with HoTMaiL in 1996. Back then, it was novel to have a personal email address you could keep for life - one that was totally independent from your business or internet service provider. Eight years later, Google introduced Gmail, which included 1 GB of storage and inbox search. And while Gmail and other webmail services like Hotmail have added some features since then, not much has fundamentally changed in webmail over the last 8 years - though yesterday's frustrations about the small size of inboxes are now things of the past. At the same time, email is becoming less and less useful as inboxes become cluttered with newsletters and social updates, and people increasingly keep up their personal connections in social networks instead of their email address books. All of this has led many to hope for a better solution so you don't have to settle for today's webmail.
We think the time is right to reimagine email. So today, we're introducing a preview of Outlook.com. We realized that we needed to take a bold step, break from the past and build you a brand new service from the ground up. You already know Outlook via the Outlook desktop application-for PCs and Macs-as the world's most popular application for reading email, managing a calendar, and connecting to people. And you may have used the Outlook Web App connected to Exchange Server in your organization. Now, in addition to a desktop application and a service for businesses, we're offering Outlook as a personal email service - Outlook.com.
Modern experience for modern browsers and devices. Email isn't just about the browser anymore. In fact, email represents 20% of the time we spend on smartphones, and is used extensively on tablets as well as PCs. Outlook is designed cloud first, so all of your mail is always available wherever you are. Its fresh, clean user interface gets the clutter out of your way-the header has 60% fewer pixels and there are 30% more messages visible in your inbox than the webmail most people are used to. And there are no display ads or large search boxes that take up extra space. Outlook.com also uses Exchange ActiveSync, so it powers your mail, calendar and people experience on your smartphone, tablet, and the new Outlook 2013 Preview.
Connected to friends and co-workers, wherever they are. Over the last several years, social networks have become an incredibly popular place to share and communicate with friends and co-workers. At the same time, email use among people who use social networks actively has continued to increase. We saw an opportunity to make email better by using your connections on social networks to enrich your email experience. And so with the Outlook.com preview, we are giving you the first email service that is connected to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, and soon, Skype, to bring relevant context and communications to your email.
In the Outlook.com inbox, your personal email comes alive with photos of your friends, recent status updates and Tweets that your friend has shared with you, the ability to chat and video call - all powered by an always up-to-date contact list that is connected to your social networks. And, of course, you are in control of your experience - what you share, the networks you connect to, and your personal information.
Smart and powerful. Today's inbox is about more than just exchanging mail with the people you know -50% of the email in a typical inbox is newsletters and another 20% is social network updates. This is part of the reason our inboxes are overloaded and we often feel it's a chore to "do email." Outlook.com automatically sorts your messages from contacts, newsletters, shipping updates, and social updates, and with our Sweep features you can move, delete and set up powerful rules in a few, simple clicks so you can more quickly get to the email you really want.
People also use email to share photos and work together on documents. So we included free Office Web Apps -- Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote - which let you view and edit attachments without leaving your inbox. And Outlook.com comes with SkyDrive, so if you're sending photos, documents, or just about any other file, you can now put them on SkyDrive and stop worrying about attachment limits.
Putting you in control. Email is private and confidential, and most folks we've talked to want to keep it that way. So we keep your personal email personal. We don't scan your email content or attachments and sell this information to advertisers or any other company, and we don't show ads in personal conversations. We let you decide whether to connect your account to social networks, and which ones you want to use - and you're in control of who you friend or follow. And, if you're a power user who wants to really fine tune your inbox, we let you create your own categories, folders, and rules to tailor Outlook.com to your preferences.
And of course Outlook.com comes with the features you'd expect from any email service. Building on our past work with Exchange and Hotmail, we provide an inbox with virtually unlimited storage, industry leading spam protection, and rock solid account protection powered by your Microsoft account. Outlook.com also works great with the Outlook desktop application, and as you'd expect from a personal email service, it's free.
While today's preview is just the start, Outlook.com is ready now to become your primary email service. We're expecting millions of people to try it out. Starting today, you can get an @Outlook.com email address, and we've also made it easy to get started with your current email address if you want to.
Once you're using Outlook.com, you can also set it up on your phone (Windows Phone, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or other phone), tablet (Windows 8, iPad, and Android), in the new Outlook 2013 Preview, or in other mail apps you might use. And because Outlook.com supports Exchange ActiveSync, you can set it up just like you would your Exchange or Hotmail account. Have more questions? See our step-by- step guide to setting up Outlook.com on your phone.
Today is the start of our preview, which represents an opportunity to learn together as we roll out and scale this new service. We know your email is important and you need a service that puts you in control, and we're looking forward to your feedback. Once you're using the service, just click Feedback in the Outlook.com Options menu and let us know what you think. If you have questions about this post, feel free to leave a comment here on our blog, or join us on Reddit later today where we're hosting an "Ask me anything" at 11am PST. We have a lot more we'll be sharing on this blog, and we look forward to continuing this conversation with you.
A lot has changed in the last eight years, and we think it' time for a fresh look at email - modern, connected, smart, powerful, and in control. So try out the preview at Outlook.com. We think you'll like what you see.

Awesome... Just that.... Awesome.
Wow. Where do I begin? The ads in the sidebar are very annoying and there should be an option to remove them. There is far too much white space at the bottom of the screen that could be used for something helpful. The speed is very slow, both sending and receiving was far slower than gmail. The placement of the send button is awkward and unhelpful.
I understand this is a preview but it is pretty poor.
Fantastic! ... doesn't seem to be available in my Hotmail options ... is it available in Asia yet?
I barely got passed the CAPTCHA. Seriously, it like four times, and when my email wasn't available I had to enter it again. Really I just badly wanted to see what this was like, otherwise I would have given up.
I created an Outlook account and now cannot get back to Hotmail in order to upgrade Hotmail to Outlook.com. Please help!
I've been a hard core Google user and find this an impressive start. Maybe microsoft is getting innovative again? I'm not the first to think MS has been lackluster on innovation aside from Kinect - a home run, but MS is like everyone's father - we all started computing on MS products, and the company can - and is, based on products like this - become hip, fresh, and relevant again.
My .02 is (1.) Agree with John that "send" should be more clear, and probably bottom right, since we read top down L to R, and (2.) this is maybe just me, but I love the David Allen GTD philosophy; integrating a Google Docs equivalent / superior / killer means a chance to help people take control.. every email is "FYI", or "I request you do something (task list)", or schedule (calendar..) or pending. Areas in which Gmail is weak IMHO is scheduling (non-existent except via plugins), sometimes slow, and the to-do / tasks is pretty weak. Contacts is improving, but integrating the FB and skype has more potential.
This is Brilliant!
Of all the things being introduced with this new update I can't believe you overlooked a HUGE feature that has been conspicuously missing from HOTMAIL...the ability to have a unique signature for each email address in the system. This is email client 101 stuff...and the function has been in Gmail for years now. It's been a colossal inconvenience in Hotmail...and I had high hopes it would be resolved in Outlook.com...but alas, it has not. As far as I'm concerned...without out that type of "real-life" functionality, Outlook.com is just a prettier version of Hotmail. It doesn't matter how many extra bells and whistles you add (Facebook integration, Twitter, Skype) if it doesn't do basic email function....it's not a contender.
Patrick, you need to "rename" your account from hotmail to outlook. You cannot create a new outlook.com account and migrate your old hotmail.com account there.
I can't get past the CAPTCHA...what gives?
Given that this looks more like the Win 8 Mail app and less like Outlook 2013 beta, was the Outlook team even involved with this? This looks more like something the Windows Live team did and they got approval to call it Outlook.
Hi, Patrick - try signing out, then go to http://outlook.com and sign back in with the account you want to upgrade.
The preview is available worldwide. You can sign in at http://outlook.com to upgrade your account.
My Reaction on signing in: Wow!
You can sign in with your old hotmail/live accounts
Looks very, very nice! Now for some nits:
IMAP support is still missing. You really, really need that.
When I check a bunch of messages, if I accidentally click even a pixel out of the check box, all my selections are un-checked. Very, very annoying!
There are too many inconsistencies in the interface. Best example: To mark individual messages as read I hover my mouse and wait for the icon. But to mark a _group_ as read I have to select them and right-click.
Another way to put it: When I select several (or all) messages, my options should be more obvious. There's a drop-down menu, but that's just for viewing options. If I click one of the message's "Delete" icons, it deletes only that message and unselects all the other ones I've checked. Argh!
So it's getting there, but you really need to make the interface more consistent so I click the same things to do the same tasks whether I'm looking at one message or a bunch.

It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to receive it. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Using this medicine while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Use an effective form of birth control to keep from getting pregnant. If you think you have become pregnant while using this medicine, tell your doctor right away.
Omacetaxine can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:
- If you can, avoid people with infections. Check with your doctor immediately if you think you are getting an infection or if you get a fever or chills, cough or hoarseness, lower back or side pain, or painful or difficult urination.
- Check with your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual bleeding or bruising, black, tarry stools, blood in the urine or stools, or pinpoint red spots on your skin.
- Be careful when using a regular toothbrush, dental floss, or toothpick. Your medical doctor, dentist, or nurse may recommend other ways to clean your teeth and gums. Check with your medical doctor before having any dental work done.
- Do not touch your eyes or the inside of your nose unless you have just washed your hands and have not touched anything else in the meantime.
- Be careful not to cut yourself when you are using sharp objects such as a safety razor or fingernail or toenail cutters.
- Avoid contact sports or other situations where bruising or injury could occur.
This medicine may affect blood sugar levels. Check with your doctor if you are diabetic and notice a change in the results of your blood or urine sugar tests.
Cancer medicines can cause abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting, even after receiving medicines to prevent it. Ask your doctor or nurse about ways to control these side effects.

- 1/4 0.25 0.25cup CUP_USVolumeflour
- pinch salt
- 1 1 1egg
- 1 1 1tablespoon TABLESPOON_USVolumesesame oil
- 1/2 0.5 0.5cup CUP_USVolumemilk
- 2 2 2teaspoons TEASPOON_USVolumeminced fresh ginger
- 1 1 1clove garlic, minced
- 1 1 1scallion, thinly sliced
- 1 1 1teaspoon TEASPOON_USVolumeunsalted butter
- 6 6 6small scallions, cut in half
In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, egg and sesame oil. Whisk in the milk, then unless your batter is completely lump free, strain into another bowl. (The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream). If the batter is too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you get the desired consistency.
Stir in the ginger, garlic and scallion.
Heat the butter in a non-stick crepe pan over moderate heat. Add 2 tablespoons batter, then swirl the pan to coat the bottom with batter. Cook the pancake over high heat until golden brown. Turn it over and brown the other side. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
Cut each pancake in half, place a scallion on each and roll into a cone shape. Serve with Wolfgang's Chinese Duck with Plum Sauce. (See separate recipe.)ABOUT THIS RECIPE
These pancakes are designed as the accompaniment to Chinese Duck with Plum Sauce. (See separate recipe.) But there's no reason why you cant serve them with all kinds of things - roast chicken, grilled meat or even steaks. Be adventurous! Have fun!

Pros: Protects phone...100% Cons: Rubber material starts to peel after about 2 months of use and becomes very annoying. VERY bulky and the case actually left scratch marks on my phone. IT's good for protection but I wouldn't buy another...the cons outweigh the pro's in my opinion. Did you find this review helpful? |
I love OtterBoxPros: Indestructible! I don't have to worry about anything damaging my iphone 5. Cons: Bulky but its a welcome trade off to spending the money for a new phone. Did you find this review helpful? |
AwesomePros: Otterbox has always been a high quality case. The case will get scuffed, but will do what it is built for. I will have no other Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Works as advertisedPros: Already have Defender cases on three other iPhones. Over the years since acquiring the first one in 2007, only one has ever needed to be replaced. It was on my wife's phone and I suspect it was hung up on something in her purse that ripped it upon retrieval. She's been more careful since and her current one is like new after over a year of use. This new case offers excellent protection and a neat two-tone appearance. It functions as advertised. Cons: Compared to Defender cases for the iPhone 4, this case's "doors" are less flexible. It is difficult to open the doors covering the power connector and Ringer/Mute switch. Other Thoughts: I would recommend this case to anyone and will buy another when we upgrade another iPhone. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fantastic CasePros: Very solid construction, easy to assemble, good looking with a convenient and much slimmer holster and excellent protection for your phone without obstructing most of the functions. Cons: Many peripherals designed for the phone won't work with it in this case, which can be quite frustrating. However, this was more of a problem for the earlier iPhones which actually have peripherals, unlike the iPhone 5. Other Thoughts: All in all this is my favorite case for the iPhone. I have always used Defender series cases, even after trying many others on my 3S, then 4 and 4S, I always gravitated back to the Defender. That being said, this is also probably the best case thus far offered by Otterbox, at least for the Defender lineup. Did you find this review helpful? |
casePros: sexy Cons: the built in screen protector is not finger proof :/ Did you find this review helpful? |
wonderfulPros: looks and fits great on my phone Cons: n/a Did you find this review helpful? |

Holley-Navarre Primary School hosted a pilot program on May 15 with Kid Power: Operation Lunch Line, designed to help children make healthy choices about food and exercise.
The presentation to HNP's second-graders was a unique blend of entertainment and education. The hour-long show lets children explore inside the body in 3D, showing the mechanics of digestion by going inside the body of a boy named Max, who doesn't feel very well because he doesn't eat properly or exercise enough.
For the complete story, see the May 24 issue of Navarre Press or subscribe online.
