125,000 people across the US have called on New Hampshire’s legislature to
keep the state’s equal marriage laws in a vote tomorrow, signing a petition
started by marine who wants to be best man at his brother’s wedding.
Craig Stowell, a married marine, said he started the Change.org petition to
lobby lawmakers to protect the marriage laws for his brother, who, he said,
finally felt accepted under the law.

发帖数: 2153 | 3 The 211-116 margin was a victory for gay rights advocates. It was also a
shock to social conservatives, who thought a 3 to 1 GOP majority combined
with a party platform that defines marriage as a between a man and women,
would secure the bill’s passage.
Deep into a debate that lasted 2 hours and included 10 separate votes,
Kingston Republican David Welch stated what by then was plain: gay marriage
is topic that divides House Republicans.

The Nobel prize for economics is given to Paul Krugman
IT WAS widely expected that Paul Krugman, who won the the 2008 Nobel prize
for economics on Monday October 13th, would claim the award one day. In 1991
he had received the John Bates Clark medal for the best young economist,
which is widely seen as a stepping stone to a Nobel award. What is more of a

As Mike Bates at NewsBusters points out, gay-themed news stories have
reached an absurd prominence lately. He was flummoxed by the amount of time
devoted by Don Lemon (CNN) to same-sex marriages in New York:
Lemon devoted most of the hour-long program to stories of men marrying men
and women marrying women. Less than ten minutes were spent on a potential
debt ceiling deal in Washington. The Norwegian tragedy warranted about four
minutes of air time.

【搜狐IT消息】北京时间6月24日消息，知情人士透露，微软CEO鲍尔默(Steve
Ballmer)准备7月1日对公司重组，一些顶级高管将调整。
许多微软高管很担心，因为鲍尔默在制定计划时，只向部分高管进行了有限的咨询
。领导团队包括一些直接汇报的人，一些董事会成员，鲍尔默只向其中的少数人咨询意
见。鲍尔默准备整合微软，将它打造成一家“设备和服务企业”，重组正是奔着此目标
而去的。但是鲍尔默在制定计划时将大多资深高管排除在决策制定者之外。
变革即将发生但信息不多，微软内部已经不安，许多高级主管在微软已经工作很长
一段时间了。一位知情人士称：“感觉重组规模很大，史蒂夫的目的是为了保护自己的
遗产。很长一段时间以来，这是第一次感觉会有一些大变革，包括一些人离开。”
变革显然是鲍尔默主导的，包括去年史蒂文·辛诺夫斯基（Steven Sinofsky）的
离开。已经有许多重量级高管离开微软，比如，去年凯文-约翰逊(Kevin Johnson)工作

与企业服务部门负责人Satya Nadella之中产生。
COO Kevin Turner接任鲍尔默无疑是非常稳妥的，作为公司现任高管，Turner无疑
能够很好的掌控公司。苹果、英特尔近年来的CEO交接都是COO接替CEO的模式。
另外，消息还称，Kevin Turner的CEO任期将只有两到三个财年，在这之后，将由
