I wish they could bring Pluto back as a planet….Enjoy
How do you define a planet? Officials at the International Astronomical Union thought the matter was settled more than a year ago when it drew up a definition of planethood that separated little Pluto from its eight bigger siblings and put it in the dwarf-planet category. Boy, were they wrong.
Many astronomers say the definition that the IAU came up doesn’t adequately reflect the diversity of worlds we see even in our own solar system – and arguably, might even exclude Jupiter as an official planet. Now a replay of the “Great Planet Debate” has been scheduled for August. Pluto may remain in the pint-size pigeonhole – but the other planets, in our solar system and beyond, would get their own pigeonholes as well.

In 20 hours, the Google Adsense team analyzed my problem, fixed the problem and responded to me. I was very surprised at how fast they responded, but I guess if you’re Google, it makes sense to have great tech support.
I recommend requesting help if you need it instead of complaining about it.
Thanks Google….

I was going to check my google adsense account to see my recent activity when i was intercepted by a verification page. They wanted me to re-accept the terms and conditions. I started wondering about when they would allow me to import my current account into my google account and then I got a surprise. After accepting the TOS, I was presented a page where they want you to convert your adsense account into a google account. I was very happy over this news because it has been about 2 years that I have waited for this.
I tried to import my information, but apparently there is something wrong with my account because it says I am already a user, but when I go to my services and click on adsense, it throws me to the login page with a message above it. Here is a screenshot of the first error I got.
I think I need to wait a little bit longer. I submitted a question to google to see if they will respond and fix the problem.

A fight fighter in South Carolina was saved from a bullet by a DVD that his friend “burned” for him about fire extinguishers. A bullet was shot breaking glass and hitting the man. The DVD case shattered and there was a hole in the DVD (besides the usual one).
I will have to carry around DVDs in my pockets from now on.
