| Review: iWeb '08
Of course, that means always having to remember to copy the file, when Apple could have allowed for syncing in the .Mac preferences just like it does for Mail, Address Book, and other applications. Galleries galore One problem with the previous version of iWeb was managing all of your photo albums and movies. You could create dozens of different albums and movies for various events (one for your kid's birthday, one for your beach vacation) but to keep track of them, you had to manually create and manage an index page. The new version of iWeb automatically indexes all of the photo albums you post into a My Albums directory—and each has an animated cover. A photo album can contain up to 500 images, and you can define how many images appear on each page. In addition, you can now turn your photo albums into an online community area, allowing visitors to subscribe to an RSS feed of your gallery, leave comments about individual photos, and even upload their own photos via e-mail to the gallery (with your permission).
Un-fussy and free to be, it's the fashion that fits us
Loulia Howard and husband Don believe a night at Seattle Opera is a special occasion and "people should dress up for it." At a performance of "Macbeth," Ioulia stands out in an eclectic crowd that includes jeans and fleece. It's the perfect snapshot of Seattle's ambivalent relationship with fashion. Still, Don Howard muses, "It's better they come in jeans than not come at all." .

THEY like it spicy down here in South Carolina. Locals pour hot sauce on their catfish, on their grits, even on their greens. Their politics is spicy too. Charleston, a city with some of the richest and poorest people in the state within spitting distance, has a political scene "as gothic as New York City," a local journalist says. Some folks who live in the historic mansions in Old Charleston actually commute to New York regularly. Meanwhile North Charleston has pockets of desperate poverty, and there are people living in run-down trailers not far outside town. The polls are open today in a state that has once again reminded America of its reputation for hard-ball politics. After all the antics of the past week, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards are in the hands of Democratic primary voters.
BUREAUCRACY AND EVIL
Now a new exhibition in the city's Jewish Museum shows what the community has suffered over the last three centuries. On display are old documents, photographs, identification papers, visa applications, petitions and public announcements -- things that give a flavor of everyday Jewish life in the Austrian capital. The show, which has already attracted considerable attention, may be the best-preserved collection of materials pertaining to Jewish life before the Holocaust. .
A new ID system will make US citizens more secure, according to the ...
The Department of Homeland Security (DOHS) originally estimated a total cost of the program at $14.6 billion USD, the cost of which would be shared amongst the states. Now, the DOHS is stating that it will only cost $3.9 billion USD total. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has been vocally opposing the initiative, which they say violates citizens' rights to privacy. Furthermore, they point to instances of what happened in Britain, and say that with more proliferated citizen data throughout the federal and state government, it will be far easier to lose citizen's valuable private information. The ACLU says the initiative is effectively the "first-ever national identity card system," and "would irreparably damage the fabric of American life." The over 50 exemption was given to help give states time to adjust their older citizens to the law. However, even the older folks will need one of the new IDs in order to board a plane by 2017.

Incursion of slobs rankles longtime South Oakland residents
The old families of Oakland have looked around, and they don't like what they see. Longtime denizens of Panther Hollow -- with last names like Casciato, DeIuliis and Giampolo -- have seen their numbers dwindle as their children move off and student rental housing eats into the neighborhood. Some of those who remain are demanding that the city and the University of Pittsburgh do more to combat the trash and unruliness they see all around them. They're calling police when they see trouble, demanding and getting meetings with top Pitt and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center executives, and even running a strongly worded ad in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Tuesday calling for steps to be taken so that "the well-deserved respect for our community will be restored." "My grandmother, she was in her 90s, and weather permitting, every day she would go outside and sweep the sidewalks, and my mother does the same," said Carlino Giampolo, 61, who lives part of the year with his elderly parents on Boundary Street and paid for the ad.
