If your pants / panties were in a "bunch" upon hearing news that Windows 7 would be headed into your ever-loving arms "next year," you might just want to hold off on those party invites for a little bit. Sure, Bill Gates just happened to mention that we'd see a new version of the OS "Sometime in the next year or so," but it's looking like that "or so" makes a world of difference. Microsoft wants to chill everyone out with the somber news that its got no plans to introduce Windows 7 any earlier than January 2010 (three years from the launch of Vista), and reassure us that crazy old Gates may have just been talkin' developer speak.Read More at Windows 7 Blog

Last night, I was talking to Lucky the Goldfish and she was going on and on about true feelings or something (I wasn't really listening), when I decided to turn the conversation to something interesting, like comic books. I was just getting warmed up on an impromptu lecture on the subject when Lucky interrupted and asked, "How come you haven't blogged on the movie adaptation of Bone?"I said, "What movie adaptation?"Lucky rolled her little eyes, flopped onto the keyboard, and flailed around until she had hit the right buttons to bring up this news article at Rotten Tomatoes:The comic book adventures of Jeff Smith's popular Bone brothers may have ended in 2004, but if all goes according to plan, they'll soon be making the transition to the big screen.According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warn

Recently pubished photo's of the beautiful and curvy wife of Pierce Brosnan have caused a nasty stir which proves that it is still seen by some as acceptable to slate the plus size.Keely Shaye Smith, former soap star and wife to 007 actor Pierce Brosnan, was last week pictured on the beach in Hawaii, daring to show her curvy figure in a bikini.TMZ.com ran with now and then pics of the happy couple, with the earlier pic showing a slim Keely. The title read 'Double Oh No! Pierce Brosnan and his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, had a whale of a time on the island of Kauai on Wednesday'.While it is not politically correct to judge by race, gender or social standing, it is still deemed ok by some in the media to be down right rude about weight.

With Michigan International Speedway celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2008, the Irish Hills track has begun construction on several capital improvement projects that will strengthen the speedway’s on-going commitment to its race fans.Michigan International Speedway will spend about $10 million in the coming months to continue enhancing the speedway based on feedback from the fans. The latest round of improvements will be completed by the start of the track’s 40th season of racing in June.“It is an exciting time at MIS,” track president Roger Curtis said. “We have incredible momentum from the success of our improved traffic patterns following our June events, and are looking forward to further implementing some of the fan feedback that our guests continue to give us.

Virginia has seen an escalation (surge?) of policies targeting migrant and Latino populations. The latest involves a recommendation to build the newest U.S. concentration camp. A panel studying illegal immigration in Virginia wants to build a 1,000-bed state jail solely for people arrested for being in the United States illegally. The Illegal Immigration Task Force agreed to 11 recommendations Monday in an effort to tighten enforcement of immigration laws. The new jail was one of them. linkage Since the current detention program in the U.S. for undocumented migrants has been so successful, it’s no wonder that locales are interested in expanding its scope. Perhaps the shiny barbed-wire and polished concrete will make a suitable environment for the children. Bookmark to:

“The retail sector seems to be behind with greening units compared to the residential and commercial building real estate sectors”, states Michael C. Trenery, a V.P. for developer Black Oak Associates. That factoid is what Owings Mills, Maryland based Black Oak Associates is hoping will differentiate their town shopping center, which is slated to open in the Fall of 2008, from others in the state. The move is both a green initiative as well as a strategic decision on their part to stand out in Maryland. Some of the green features the eco-friendly shopping center will incorporate includes: daylighting high efficiency HVAC system drought resistant plants white pavers The 90,000 square foot shopping center will be the first green mall in the Mid-Atlantic region. They also aim to acquire LEED certification and part of that certification includes getting the word out on the green initiative and educating others on the benefits of using sustainable materials and building eco-f

Most Hillsborough teachers will see about an eight percent raise under the contract agreement reached this afternoon between the district and the Hillsborough Classroom Teachers Association. The agreement sets the salary for a beginning teacher around $37,100. A teacher at the top of the salary schedule would earn about $61,300. Hillsborough also offers a variety of supplements, from performance pay to stipends for higher degrees and salary incentives to work in high poverty schools. This year's eight percent raise follows last year's historic 10 percent salary boost for Hillsborough teachers. It comes at a time of financial uncertainty for school districts across the state, with the Department of Education warning about budget cuts. The contract still must be ratified by teachers and approved by the School Board. AN UPDATE: The school district also reached salary agreements for support staff, including teachers aides and bus drivers. They will receive 6 percent raises. Principa

50 Cent's new album is on the move yet again. The release date for Curtis is being pushed back one week: from September 4 to September 11, the MC's label, Interscope Records, announced on Friday (July 13). In a press release, the label said the reason for the delay is because the previous date falls too close to the Labor Day holiday on September 3, and "the decision was made to push the release one week so that it is available everywhere at 10 a.m. on day of release." You may recall that a few weeks ago the album was moved from its original release date of June 26 due to some last-minute songs and the MC's desire to release the LP all over the world simultaneously (see "50 Cent's Curtis Release Pushed To September"). Of course, the album is the first of two the MC currently has in the works (see "50 Cent Plans To Make Like Eminem And Disappear After Next Two LPs Drop"). 50's new video, "I Get Money," debuted Friday afternoon on New York radio station Hot 97's Web site and within

Indians 1B Ryan Garko went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's spring game against the Dodgers. He is now 12-for-41 (.293) with three runs, two doubles, one homer and seven RBI in 11 spring games. Garko should back up Casey Blake at first base when the season opens. With Garko's solid skills at the plate, Fantasy owners will want to target him in AL-only drafts and just keep him reserved until Blake gets hurt -- which is a common occurrence. If he ever lands a full-time gig, he would be worth adding in all Fantasy formats. Source: CBS SportsLine.com

When a Chrysler PR flack called to ask about the source for the leaky-roofed Dodge Journey tested by TTAC reviewer Michael Karesh, I asked him why his employer would re-launch itself as the "New Chrysler" before it eliminated a third to a half of its tri-branded lineup. Surely they should make the cuts and then tell the world  Chrysler's reborn; losing a bunch of models does nothing for a carmaker's rep (not to mention owners' residuals). A long silence followed. That was February. This is April. And we still don't know which models are going away. That said, ChryCo's executive vice president for North American sales is dropping hints. According to The Detroit Free Press, Steven Landry told students and alumni at a Northwood University event that "What
