Gomez confirmed to Hora that he had been arrested and then was released on bail on a domestic violence case and that none other than Goodman put him back in the clink two weeks ago because of a "dirty" or positive drug test. Goodman smiled. Gomez confirmed to the DA that Goodman's order was separate from the inmate's appearance in the jurist's courtroom. Gomez said he was introduced to Reiser while both were in jail.

Say sheesh! Best Buy digital photo frame harbors virus
Talk about spoiled cheese. A digital picture frame made by a gadget brand belonging to Best Buy is thought to carry a virus, and the big-box retailer is warning owners to contact customer service for instructions. The frames at issue are 10.4-inch in diameter and made by Insignia. They carry the model number NS-DPF-10A, and according to the warning posted by Best Buy on its Insignia site, the virus slipped in during manufacturing. But the company did not explain how that happened. Best Buy says the frames were pulled from stores and retail websites as soon as it knew of the problem, but some still made it to the public. Customers who believe they have one should call the Insignia customer care line at 1-877-467-4289. The virus wasn't described, but Best Buy insists that it's old and can be removed with current, up-to-date antivirus software.

That's why a number of companies have recently focused on creating rugged, easy-to-use, and easy-to- handle digital cameras. The results are surprisingly good.
Digital Concepts' Crayola VGA camera, for instance, is made of tough plastic and has two big handles that allow kids to hold up the camera to frame images on the 1.3-inch preview screen.

Bushs speech was one of the more restrained descriptions of the surgelast years decision to send an additional 30,000 troops to Iraq. In recent weeks, politicians and commentators have moved beyond saying the surge is working to the blunter declaration that the surge "worked," full-stop. Bill Kristol, declaring Gen.
