About your Advertising Manage Version 3.4.19...
how do I make it add an AD below my posts?
Oh yes and your url on the plugin gives a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error
Asked by raven2099
raven2099 - thanks for the query. I am no longer supporting Advertising Manager. OpenX still supports it I believe. You may want to try their forums or twitter to get an answer.
Sorry I cannot be more helpful!

I spent six months with Jay looking at the existing healthcare insurance landscape, and we agreed that a watered down national healthcare bill will not be effective reform. A single payer system is a proven model, and a state run single payer system is a great start. Hopefully more states will take the lead here and remove healthcare insurance state by state.

This article about how Google is using ‘Android Compatibility’ as a tool to dissuade manufacturers from using Google competitors is just like what Microsoft did in the nineties to encourage their OEMs to use Microsoft preferred browsers, ISP’s etc.
Hopefully I am wrong, but it seems like that this behavior is the beginning of the end of innovation for them - kinda like what happened to Microsoft 15 years ago.

In this blog post, MongoDB gives a high level overview on how document databases are particularly suited to ecommerce (as well as analytics). There are a few people who are using MongoDB for ecommerce, and I think that this is one area where document databases will perform well.
There is yet to be an open source ecommerce application which uses a document database (to my knowledge). Perhaps the start could be for Mongo, Apache, or some other open source project to release a the document equivalent to a ‘reference schema’ for an ecommerce application.
There is some work being done on the Vespolina project (which uses MongoDB and Symfony2) here:

It would be great to hear from people about other efforts!
Redditor describes how Americans were ‘celebrating in the streets’ upon news of Osama Bin Laden’s death. I had a similar feeling as the poster - however, my disgust was toward news stations who manufactured this silly reaction. I don’t (refuse to) believe that celebration was on many of US people’s minds.
I spent time reflecting on our actions before the event, how a group like Al Qaeda could exist in the first place, whether our reaction was appropriate, and whether silly images of people celebrating provides any closure to families of those directly affected by the bombings.
