February 16, 2011 No Comment
Perhaps AOL acquiring The Huffington Post isn't such a bad thing after all. Liberal filmmaker, writer and photographer Lee Stranahan did something one doesn't often see at the left-wing news aggregator — he broke from the pack to defend “the notorious Andrew Breitbart,” publisher of Breitbart.com and a slew of similar sites where he basks in skewering liberals. In his HuffPo article , Stranahan wrote how he “spent a slightly surreal weekend” hanging out with Breitbart at CPAC — … and at the end of the conservative convention, he was served with a lawsuit from Shirley Sherrod, the former USDA official who was forced to resign by USDA Secretary

Jean Schmidt ’s receipt of legal assistance from a Turkish-American interest group that has represented her in a host of proceedings in Ohio, one of the Republican’s counsels confirmed Friday. Schmidt attorney Bruce Fein declined to answer questions about how he is paid, saying he is responding to a request from the OCE, the board that reviews potential rules violations and recommends investigations to the House Ethics Committee. “We’ll be making proper responses to an outstanding inquiry,” said Fein, an attorney with the Turkish American Legal Defense Fund and a resident scholar at the Turkish Coalition of America. Fein did not detail the inquiry, and the OCE does not comment publicly on its work or confirm whether it is reviewing specific matters. But Democrat David Krikorian, who has twice sought to challenge Schmidt for the 2nd district seat, has filed multiple complaints to the OCE, alleging that the Ohio lawmaker improperly received free legal services from the TCA and its legal defense fund in violation of House rules. It is not known whether the OCE investigation stems from Krikorian’s complaints. In a statement Monday, Schmidt spokesman Brian Pfaff acknowledged the Ohio lawmaker had not received a bill from TALDF for its work to date but said Schmidt had followed House rules.

There have been a lot of phone and tablet announcements here at MWC 2011 , but laptops? Not so much. Toshiba’s not following the crowd here, though. Instead, it’s touched down in Barcelona with three fresh Satellites — the 13.3-inch R830, 14-inch R840, and 15.6-inch R850. Aesthetically, they should look very familiar as Toshiba’s basically refreshed its Portege R700 series with Intel’s latest Core i5 and i7 Sandy Bridge processors and enhanced its cooling system. The company was a bit vague on specific configuration details (though, we took some shots of the system properties in the gallery below), but its press release does list that the rigs will be available with up to 8GB of RAM and 640GB of hard disk storage, SSDs, and USB 3.0. The R830 (pictured above) is still one of our favorites, and like the R705 , it is made of magnesium, only weighs 3.2 pounds, and still has a optical drive. The R840 and R850 have been slightly retooled with subtlety striped lids, which we are told of made of a high stiffness resin. Both models have chiclet keyboards and regular touchpads with two mouse buttons, though the 14- and 15-inchers have pointing sticks. All three models will be hitting in April, but Tosh is keeping quiet on pricing. Hit the first gallery for a few shots of the rigs and the second for a look at the special copper airflow cooling system Toshiba’s cooked up.
