Back here I whined that I had roughly 100 photos scanned into a Windows netbook that I’d copied to a flash drive and couldn’t import to Mom’s Mac. I still can’t, for reasons I don’t understand, but I tried mailing the ones that didn’t import (and wasn’t identifying which ones didn’t a lot of fun) …

Now we know why Komen pulled its funding: the Catholic Church started telling its parishioners not to donate to the charity. Internal Komen documents reviewed by Reuters reveal the complicated …
