[PC_LSN_No.2]To Draw a Line in the Sand

Imaging a tribe leader in a desert area where sand is everywhere. There were no trees, rivers and mountains, nothing to look at and say, “This is the border of our land, this is the place we’ll fight to defend.” since there were no nature landmarks to relate to, that commander then takes a stick and drag it along the groud, and in that sense, “draws” a line in the sand and says, here is the border of our land and we’ll fight to defend.

Beyond this line, no enemy must come. It is from that exotic image that we get this idiom meaning to define a symbolic point beyond which there is no further compromise, whatever ideas or discussions are on one side of the line, that is okay, but beyond that point, there can be no further discussion. The line in the sand represents the symbolic border for the negotiations.

[PC_LSN_No.1]What You Don't Know About MLK's 'Dream'

What You Don't Know About MLK's 'Dream'

We were standing at the Lincoln Memorial[Momoum] in the spot were doctor Martin Luther King made that speech that will become part of the fabric of our nation. Image this handful of Americans litarally rubbed shoulders with history they standing or[and] sitting near doctor King. we had a hard time to tracking them down and they had surprising[suprise] things to tell us.

Augest 28, 1963, the quarter[crowd] of a million gather at the Lincoln Memorial[Momoum] that day knew they had heard something momentous[MOmental]. 'I still have a dream, it's a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.' and he started speaking[to speak], and it was amazing. it was transfromed from a type of perhaps festival atmosphere to almost [the] religions I supposed. We couldn't hear thing dropped[You could be a T], I will never foget it, I will never forget it. Giama spent months[she has make a month to] tracking down those who stood[still] beside King as he spoke witnesses captured by the lens[L] of the history. Only a hanful are still alive. Gordon Gundrum than 25 years old was assigned to protect[the S protecting] that day. That's him standing in a[the] park ranger uniform. It was like a great symphony, even to try and[to] describe it today. The hair on the back of my neck stands[the Hero still in my next stands]. Gundrum says that moment with king opened his eyes to the civil rights movement. He shied away from interviews for[throught] decades but now want[once] the world remembered what king managered to do was just one speech. What he did that day I felt, was very close to god. When i think of doing good thing such as charity. I think that was the result of[that] the ideas [for] doctor king had[held].
For Charles Jackson, an New Jersey police officer, the assignment to stay and watch over[of] king when he spoke was a career highlight. He talked about [this] until his death in 1999. He said,"I almost trembled, and he said it's just magic." Civil rights[Supervice] leader doctor Dorothy Height[Jcy Hi] recalls being most struck[was C being B] by the king's ablity to unit both the crowd and the devided nation, with the speech that lasted just 15 minutes. "that we all felt as one through his talking[he was talking], not just about some, but about all." For Teresa Walker, a former freedom writer, it was king's reference to the dream he had for his four[poor] little children, that brought tears from her eyes.
"That i have a dream, My four[poor]little children, one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of thier character[the C of their C]."
"Well, it was my dream also, I have 4 children, [then] of couse every parent especial a mother want the world and the country to be as good as it can be. But I have no idea it was going to have the impact that it did have.[B. but i have an idea which B].

but imaging this, as we were research[searching] the story we learn something brand-new that never reported before, that I have a dream has almost cut from King's speech.
That I have a dream climax was never in the speech and we just thought it shouldn't be used. King has[is] giving the I have a dream speech some thirty times in a month leading up to the March Washington. And his chief of staff thought he need a new material. We felt that he use that climax so many times, it will be hackneyed and trite.
Doctor Wyatt T. walker and other stay up all night on the eve of the march crafting a[and even a much C] new dream free speech. But when king surveyed the crowd, he throwt out the new version deciding instead to talk about his dream. I was standing by the Washington Monument and when he said, "I have a dream today..." I said,"Oh, It should be deleted. " "What you were suggesting what if alter the history?" "It just shows how much we didn't know." And those who share that silver of[libery] history with king say it will be a profound moment of symmetry[symatry] when Barack Obama take the stage on the annirvesary of the speech that dare to dream about a candidacy like his[their to dream about.A cadedacy like he is].
"Well i think docotr king would[will] be the first to recognize that our country has moved forward. But i think it is providential."
"It just demostrates your dreams can come true."

'Porn mode' threatens Web ads

With just a few clicks you can now make sure that the computer you are surfing the web on (you surf is well born) has no trace of you activities. The feature known as InPrivate browsing is part of the test version of the Microsoft newest browser Internet Explorer 8. Bloggers have been quick to call Inprivate the porn mode (B is quickly c in private form mode), Since (Then) anyone using the computer afterwards should not be able to retrace a user’s virtual steps.

Once you’ve (When it is) activated InPrivate browsing, this’ll (all) appear here, and it means that(the) Internet Explorer will(would) be preventing from saving any data about your browsing session.

IE8 also introduces in-private blocking. This alerts users when third party sites (sides) are tracking browsing activity(activities). This is where(what) Google might be affected.

Banner ads are (Banner R) often displayed based on what Google and Yahoo think an user might be interested in(interesting) depending on the sites visited(site visiting). Blocking third parties(party) from(on) browsing activity could disrupt that business model(module).

When people are in InPrivate browsing and InPrivate blocking, they will be given a list of companies that and made(he may) aware of who else seeing the conversation. They can then opt(up) in or opt(up) out of that having those people continue to provide and stream new information and data onto those websites(B in this web site).

Microsoft controls around 70% of browser market, while Apple Safari already has the privacy feature and it also can be added to the popular Firefox 3 browser. A Google spokesman told CNN that it is too early to tell how the IE8 features work and what the impact on the search giant might be.

Microsoft says that are plenty of things that InPrivate browsers does not do, it does(is) not necessarily make you anonymous on the web so the site you visit can record your information. And if you are using a(the) network at the(in your) office, your IT apartment(department) still can see what you are up to while(or) you surf on a(the) company PC. Jim Bolden(Bone), CNN, London.
