Secretary of Defense Gates to step down in 2011
2010-08-17 21:46:00 Foreign Policy reports that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates plans to leave the administration in 2011, indeed he has stayed quite a bit longer than he originally planned. Secretary Gates told FP, "I just think this is not the kind of job you want to fill in the spring of a presidential election. So I think sometime in 2011 sounds pretty good." With this news, the speculation as to who would replace him picks up.Foreign Policy goes through the short list for the next Secretary of Defense, which includes Chuck Hagel:Always the bridesmaid: Chuck HagelFormer Nebraska senatorThe Obama administration has been trying to give Hagel a prime posting for a while. He's reported to have turned down several sweet offers, including ambassador to China and director of national intelligence. He does serve as a co-chair of Obama's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. In Hagel's favor, he's a Republican who won't bend to the GOP talking points of the moment and he's high-profile enough to fi...

'The Gates': Desperate Vampires
2010-06-21 22:03:00 Yes, ABC's The Gates is yet another vampire drama - but it does have its own original twist that sets it apart from HBO's True Blood and The CW's The Vampire Diaries. Think Desperate Housewives if the Wisteria Lane women had a craving for blood and witchcraft. Actually that show could use a vampire or two after its last dismal season - but I'm not here to discuss that mess of a series. Instead I'm happy to report that I enjoyed The Gates, which debuted last night along with Scoundrels, a comedy-drama starring the lovely Virginia Madsen. However, despite her talented presence and her handsome TV husband, David James Elliott, the show just didn't make me care enough about its...

Since leaving his job at Microsoft, Bill Gates has been working to dedicate more time to his Bill & Melinda Gates foundation. He has also launched a personal website – The Gates Notes.

Changing threats and emerging technologies drove the decision to restructure the European missile defense plan, Defense Secretary Robert M.

Why is Eva Longoria Parker proud of Henry Louis Gates?
2009-08-01 19:23:00 Actress Eva Longoria Parker had nothing but praise for the work Henry Louis Gates Jr. has done in tracing the ancestry of African-Americans. Now the Harvard professor who has been in recent headlines is going to include Latinos and other ethnic groups in a new PBS series called American Lives, Longoria said during the National Council of La Raza conference in Chicago this past week. Dr. Gates traced the family roots of Longoria and she spoke about their first conversation at the conference. "I think you are a fascinating person and I want to tell a Latino story of where you're ancestors came from," Longoria said Gates told her. This past week Longoria got her results from DNA testing and...

President Obama's beer bust with Gates and Crowley: a beer poll

The ill-advised (in my opinion) arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Lewis Gates by Cambridge Police Officer Sgt. James Crowley four days ago caught the attention of the nation, but it was President Obama's comment that the Cambridge Police "acted stupidly" and the rather terrible response by the Cambridge Police Union at its press conference , which created a much-needed national conversation about race, law enforcement, and American culture. Regardless of where you stand on this issue, there's no doubt that it has been the political talk of the day, even if much of it was disjointed, nasty, and ignorant, especially on...

Lucky for HL Gates
2009-07-25 00:44:00 If Henry Louis Gates were a woman, he probably would've been strip searched. In fact, several of the first strip search cases were filed as violations of the 14th Amendment's equal protections clause because in many counties only women - and not men - have been subjected to blanket strip searches.

A few thoughts on the Gates debacle
2009-07-24 20:45:00 Since the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (now with its own authoritative Wikipedia page!) hit the news, I've had a few civilian friends and acquaintances ask me if I was going to write about it. My initial response was "no", not wanting to contribute to the endless re-hashing of the latest racially-charged police media event. I've since reconsidered, and want to throw out a few thoughts on the subject.Events like this provide the stage and setting for a series of ritualized responses by a variety of people and organizations. It's like a play--we all show up with our own script that dictates how we'll act and what we'll say, based on whatever beliefs and prejudices we already hold. I...

Here's how to settle the Gates debate
2009-07-24 16:08:00 This fight over Professor Gates' arrest has spun far out of control. Too many people making Blind Justicetoo many assumptions about the facts involved. Too much generalizing about who's at fault. This goes for both sides. Before this thing goes any further, the establishment of the facts is primary. To do that, we need sworn statements from the parties and witnesses and the place to do that is in a court of law.So....The police department should reinstate the charges against Gates, so that sworn statements can be taken from everyone, under penalty of perjury. That, of course, is political impossible. Gates has threatened to sue, so he should proceed so that sworn testimony can be given in the civil case....
Henry Louis Gates arrested for being "uppity black man"

James Crowley after trying to pry open the lock, which was already damaged, to his own Cambridge home with the help of his driver, who picked him up from a trip to China. President Obama, in a press conference on his health care initiative, chimes in by saying "the Cambridge Police acted stupidly." President Obama's totally right. Here's why. Professor Gates problem was that he was being "an uppity black man" against an officer who looked for "uncommon" versus "common" elements to connect with Gates - no connection, or "uncommon leads to an arrest. On the plane from Chicago to Atlanta yesterday, I was in first class on United Airlines (the luck I enjoy as the son of a forme...
Dr. Gates vs. Sgt. Crowley - The Showdown
2009-07-23 22:56:00 I have changed my mind. The other day I was upset at Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. for "going off" on police officers. But he was right. If I was in my house, after prying my own door open, I can see showing I.D. to an officer, but the incident should have ended there. When police officers fail to recognize HLG in a canary yellow house in Cambridge, the social fabric is diminished. Henry Louis Gates, Ph.D. The foremost global scholar on African and African American history is led away in handcuffs, by an officer who says that he will not apologize. Dr. Gates should said, "Wait a minute "fellas'!" Before you cuff me and cart me away to jail, let me pop...

2009-07-23 14:30:00 Photo: Courtesy of Harvard UniversityHenry Louis Gates Jr. is awesome. Or so I thought until I found out he was a burglar. A Harvard professor and director of the W.E.B DuBois Institute for African-American Studies, Gates is one of the most thoughtful voices on race in America today. He's the author or editor of over fifteen books on African-American history, race relations and the culture wars. He's also the host, narrator and creative mind behind PBS's engrossing mini-series "African-American Lives," which traces the ancestral lineages of famous black Americans. It's an amazing show that somehow spans history and feels immediately personal at the same time (I must admit, despite how I feel about his love life, the Morgan Freeman...

You're under arrest, Dr. Gates?
2009-07-21 18:40:00 Why blame it on racism? When the proponents of civil rights and African American history have to break into their own homes, we know "we gotta do betta."

He reportedly forgot his keys and had to break into his home, while a witness (unaware that this was Dr. Gates' residence) called authorities. Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and mug shots Charges were dropped, thank God, but Dr. Gates should know not to argue with police when they ask for identification. His reply, "No I will not."

2009-04-25 00:09:00 It’s amazing that Oracle Corporation doesn’t get more buzz in the blogosphere. Everybody knows about Microsoft and a few have heard of Apple and Mac OS, but you’re still hard-pressed to find somebody outside of the IT profession who’s heard of Linux, BSD, or Solaris. Especially in the English-speaking world. But here we have Larry Ellison. Pay attention to this name; he’s the fourth-richest human being on the planet. The Forbes wealth rank for 2009 runs Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim Helú, and then there’s Lawrence Ellison. There used to be a bunch of other names between them, but they’ve gotten weeded out this year thanks to the global real estate and banking crash. Sorry boys, play-money wealth doesn’t last. Larry Ellison is the CEO of Oracle Corporation, and amongst Oracle’s various holdings pretty much runs the back end of every major business’ server room.
