SEATTLE — Microsoft Corp.'s next version of its Office desktop programs will reach consumers next year, though not likely in conjunction with the Windows 7 operating system.Microsoft is set to announce Wednesday that Office 2010 will be finished and ready to send to manufacturers in the first half of next year.From there, it can take six weeks to four months or more for the programs to reach PC users, said Chris Capossela, a senior vice president in the Microsoft group that makes Office. The timing will differ for big businesses and individual consumers, and for people who buy packaged software versus those who download it.Some industry watchers had expected a new version of Office this year, but Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer extinguished that rumor at a meeting with analysts in February.Capossela declined to be more specific about a launch date. Windows 7, the successor to Windows Vista, is scheduled to reach consumers by the end of January 2010.Office 2010 — previously known by the code name "Office 14" — will include slimmed-down versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote that let people create and edit documents in a Web browser. Consumers will have access to a free, ad-supported version, and Capossela said the company is still hammering out what to charge businesses that want a version without ads.Microsoft plans to let hundreds of thousands of people test a technical preview of the new Office portfolio starting in the third quarter of 2009, Capossela said. The company did not say whether average PC users will have a chance to test a more polished beta version.Microsoft also said a new version of its Exchange e-mail server will be available for purchase in the second half of 2009. When paired with the next version of Microsoft's Outlook e-mail program, Exchange 2010 aims to prevent e-mail faux pas and would warn people against trying to "reply all" to a huge distribution list. Microsoft said it can also be tweaked to stop people from sending e-mail outside the organization, helping businesses cut down on unnecessary e-mail and prevent leaks.A beta version of Exchange 2010 was to be made available on Wednesday. - AP

Just this morning when my family have breakfast we heard from the News about 17 year old boy killing 9 students, 3 teachers and 3 civilians in his 
former high school in Winnenden, Gemany - before he took his own life. It really scares us and worried for the safety our children especially now. How children at the young age expose to such violence and sometimes at sex. I remember the news last February about a young boy (Alfie Patten) became a father at the age of 13. Sometimes, we could not blame the children on what is happening to them. The adults are more responsible and great influence of such violence. They(children), need our guidance, love, understanding and support from us especially at their difficult times.

However, if we live a meaningful life and believe that everything we do will make a difference then our lives becomes important we feel more useful, joy, healthy, fruitful life. We become more connected with others and our days will become more brighter.
SYDNEY (AFP) – Nearly 200 whales and several dolphins have beached themselves on an island off southern Australia and a race is on to save the dozens of survivors, officials said Monday.
About 50 of 194 pilot whales and seven dolphins stranded on King Island between the mainland and Tasmania were still alive, Tasmania's Parks and Wildlife Service spokesman Chris Arthur said.
Although around 140 whales had already died, Arthur told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation he hoped some could be saved.
"These are fairly robust animals, pilot whales. We've experienced that in the past," he said.
Local residents have been at the scene since the whales began stranding themselves late Sunday, and rescuers were headed to the island in the Bass Strait, Arthur said.
The latest beaching takes the total number of whales stranded around Tasmania in the past four months to nearly 400.
More than 150 pilot whales died after beaching themselves on Tasmania's remote west coast in November and 48 sperm whales died in January on a sandbar off Perkins Island.
Tasmania, Australia's southern island state, experiences about 80 percent of whale beachings in the country, a phenomenon so far unexplained by science.
