Winston Peters doesn't have the ego-strength to back-down now... but hey he doesn't have the back-bone or substance to ever be a leader anyway... thank god - such a fickle small-minded man.... but maybe he could do something different for a change... who knows... stranger things have happened.... 160 days & 18 hrs agoSuggest removalPermalink ex fiji tourist of Australia says… The only interest in justice that bananasinpyjamas has, is to save himself from being tried for his crimes.

MSU men: Still time to right ship
To be sure, the Montana State men's basketball team doesn't want to let this thing get any further away from them. And the luster of a 16-point rout of Montana has faded in the haze of three consecutive defeats, the last one, Thursday's 78-76 loss to Weber State, came at home - the Bobcats' first loss at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse this winter.Then again, the senior-laden team is savvy enough to know that every season has its ebb and flow, and perhaps the 'Cats (9-8, 1-3) were due."I'm old - I've been through it all," senior guard Carlos Taylor said. "You aren't going to see my head down."After all, there's so much basketball still to be played, starting with tonight's key 7:05 o'clock game with feisty Idaho State (6-11, 3-1), which is fresh from a 56-54 win at Montana. There's still time to right a semi-listing ship for a team that once looked like Big Sky Conference contenders."And I still think they are," Weber State coach Randy Rahe said after what he described as a "huge" road win.

Janet chalks up text service
The Joint Academic Network (Janet) has signed a deal for a mobile phone text service to connect the 18 million users of its education network. The service - called 'Janet txt' - will allow the UK's educational and research institutions to send individual or group SMS messages to mobiles, landlines, email and pagers through one interface. PageOne won the three-year contract to supply Janet with its SMS service. Got two seconds? Make your voice heard - take our latest poll. The service is available to any educational body which receives Janet's other services, with individual contracts being established between PageOne and individual user organisations. Educational organisations can regulate and customise the text service so the messages sent out are clearly associated with the institution distributing them.
Google and PayPal collide at the checkout
Jon Kuhlmann has had a front row seat as that competition unfolded. Kuhlmann, whose company Grapevinehill.com sells discount footwear, had been taking PayPal for years, largely to service the eBay Inc. customers that account for 80% of his revenue. And when Google Checkout came along he added that payment option to his eBay store and his own site. But eBay, which owns PayPal, was having none of it. For the first few days we took Google Checkout for some eBay transactions, but that was quickly stopped by eBay, he says. A year later, eBay was still banning Google Checkout, saying it is unproven. And Kuhlmann was on hand in Boston when Googles attempt to poke fun at that ban badly misfired. Party crashing Google invited merchants attending the annual eBay Live event in June to attend a Revolutionary War-themed party billed as a celebration of freedom of choice.

Ulanoff: Facebook's Death Spiral Has Begun
In other instances, Facebook will create an infinite loop of friendliness where there really isn't any. I've had a couple of "pokes" on my page for ages. Someone poked me, I poked them back, and that should be the end of it. But the initial poke remains on my page, so I'm never sure if this is a new poke or a remnant. It's also hard to delete things like mail, so old messages stick around as if they're fresh. Everything seems more active than it really is. If all of this doesn't concern Facebook fans, it should. Any site that needs to resort to creating the illusion of life is clearly heading to a place where this is none. Copyright © 2008 Ziff Davis Media Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Gloriously Cranky Cathy Seipp
Never needs changing. Like a fluorescent bulb! ... 5:48 P.M. Dissing the Disgruntled! Grazer-Gate Update: A summary of the L.A.Times' second-time-farce scandal is here. The most recent at-bats ... Resigned editorial page editor Andres Martinez says the paper's newly-arrived editor and publisher caved to a disgruntled newsroom that is annoyed at [the paper's owners in] Chicago, annoyed at them and annoyed at the autonomy of the opinion pages. The newsroom unrest, Martinez says, is partly "ideological" (the news pages presumably being more conventionally liberal than his editorial page), partly "a matter of bureaucratic culture," and some of it a personnel matter (there are some embittered former editorial board members that Kinsley and Carroll sent off to the newsroom).
