Links to stuff.

Women's health issues. Maternal childbirth risk and the abortion pill.

Wishing Goodell had stayed home.

Biggest barrier to low-cost education.

Orrin.

Your pick of Obama - Student loan cost stories. One of several.

Wouldn't you be disillusioned with Sarkozy as a choice?

If your first shot at traction fails, try "tar baby."

Survived a test in the minors, now it's time for a test in the big leagues.

Acting school, a topic on my mind. More.

The Franson lady. Representative of her district? Do they all there stick out their chin and say, "Hit me"?

"The Richfield-based retailer's new commitment to transparency will help it recruit a world-class leader, experts say." Now available, would Gingrich be a good fit.

Take working money and give it to cronies? "Agency managers must find the money within their own budgets, he added; the state doesn't provide money specifically for merit compensation." Is that the Grover Norquist way?

Work on the boards and on the end of the court that matters, not the end that gets the feature photo.

Tomorrow is Earth Day, Mary Franson knows that. Take a tour Mary?

When Marley sang, "I shot the sheriff," he did not mean it literally, but conceptually.

Freedom rings for Scott Walker. (But Gary does not vote in Wisconsin any more than Mac Hammond does in the Sixth District.) Leave Gary a comment. He works hard at what he does. Civil comments, even in disagreement, are welcome by Gary.

Try a lookback. Well, the archive's been hijacked, or what? Scrubbing bubbles? See this, for prescience about things to come as well as things for the moment. Try, "... my ethics are not governed by legal interpretations." "Betty McCollum" removed as a sidebar site topic (or a never was on the sidebar topic)? There's a sidebar search box and putting Betty's name in gets, for instance, this. Nothing about Betty or her staff. Or did I miss something? Looking at that anti-Betty item, we have so much to look forward to this election. How can we wait?

A tent that any former hippie can relate to. Design and marketing types take notice too. Do you think if you gave one to David Flaherty he would recognize the design?

A site with compelling sidebar images, enough to perhaps review some content. Perhaps not?

Last, if you go to a website and do not like the layout, e.g., pastel lettering on black background - anything about layout that ticks you off, try this Read Easily Firefox addon. If you use Firefox you should try it. It toggles CSS scripting on/off. If you load it, try it with the Strib homepage.

____________UPDATE____________
Who will be the Dropbox of enterprise computing? Is any reader out there using Dropbox, who is enthusiastic enough about it to post a comment saying, "I'd be lost without synchronized file saving in the cloud"? If so, leave that comment please. Any reader wanting to say, ho-hum, so what, please do so. I am curious whether the cloud is selling to individual consumer-users the way Apple's stuff is, and gotta-have texting capability, etc. Texting and twitter seem made for each other. Between tweets, look up at the road while driving.
