As the number of Wi-Fi hot spots grows, travelers might want to heed a word of caution from the Wi-Fi Alliance, a nonprofit industry group that promotes Wi-Fi technology: Think security.

"There's always a trade-off between ease of connecting and Wi-Fi security," said Kelly Davis-Felner, spokeswoman for the group, "so when folks are using ... a hot spot, they typically should assume that security is not enabled. We advise people that they should use caution when doing things like banking or online shopping in a public Wi-Fi hot spot."

If you’re one of the many people all around the world who use social networking site Twitter, the phrase om the headline probably sounds familiar. Twitter has become an integral part of how society communicates these days.

Twitter is a site built exclusively off of 140-character status messages in which users are prompted to update by being asked, “What are you doing?” Contents of tweets vary – they can be something as mundane as being bored, or something as important as trying to spread the message about donating to funds to benefit victims of Typhoon Ondoy in Southeast Asia. Tweets are received either through the public timeline or through “following” people, or receiving their updates.

Nintendo lags behind convention when it comes to online content delivery, which is why "Wii Fit Plus" exists as a standalone disc only instead of a downloadable content pack for existing owners of the original "Fit."

This doesn't mean a whole lot of anything to those getting into "Fit" for the first time. "Plus" essentially replaces "Fit" on the marketplace: If you buy the $100 Wii Balance Board, this is what's bundled inside now. Everything that was in "Fit" is in "Plus," which is a standalone game despite some confusing language on the box that suggests you need both discs.

From wikipedia:
Arna Wendell Bontemps (October 13, 1902 - June 4, 1973) was a well-known American poet and a noted member of the Harlem Renaissance. As the librarian at Fisk University, he established important collections of African-American literature and culture, establishing it as an important goal of scholarly study. In 2002, scholar Molefi Kete Asante listed Arna Bontemps on his list of 100 Greatest African Americans.

Bontemps was born in the city of Alexandria in the U.S. state of Louisiana. the son of Paul Bontemps and Marie Pembrooke Bontemps. His birthplace at 1327 Third Street has been recently restored and converted for use as the Bontemps African American Museum. It is included on the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail.
