| New information on Windows Home Server
Windows Home Server is built on Windows Server technology, but it also includes a great deal of new technology for simple backup/restore of multiple PCs in the home, easy addition of new storage, and a highly intuitive console to administer backups, shared folders, storage, users and network health. Windows Home Server is designed to work in broadband connected households that already have a broadband router / firewall device. A Windows Home Server device plugs in on the inside of the house and is initially protected by a users router / firewall device. Additionally, it is built on the proven technologies of Windows Server and uses the software firewall technologies built into Windows Server to provide an additional level of protection. It will be updated by Automatic Updates from MS. Also, remote access to Home Server is via HTTPS, only uses necessary ports, and is disabled by default.

Iran's president spurns critics, UN on nuclear work
TEHRAN -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashed back over the US military buildup in the Gulf, saying yesterday that Iran is ready for any possibility in the standoff over its nuclear program. The president made clear he was not backing down in his tough rhetoric toward the United States, despite criticism at home. Conservatives and reformists alike have openly challenged Ahmadinejad's nuclear diplomacy tactics, many saying his fiery anti-Western remarks are doing more harm than good. Ahmadinejad said their calls for compromise echo "the words of the enemy." The United States sent an aircraft carrier to the Gulf this week, the second to deploy in the region. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the buildup was intended to impress on Iran that the four-year war in Iraq has not made America vulnerable.
Safety of short-term breast-feeding among children born to HIV-infected mothers in Cote d
Short-term breastfeeding lasting no more than four months is no more likely to lead to serious illness or death for children of HIV-positive mothers than replacement feeding using formula feed, and neither method of feeding leads to a higher risk of death within 18 months of birth when compared to the extended period of breastfeeding that is the norm in sub-Saharan Africa. The findings, from the Ditrame Plus study, are published today in the January edition of PLoS Medicine. The current UNAIDS guidelines recommend the avoidance of breast-feeding by HIV-infected mothers when replacement feeding is acceptable, feasible, affordable, sustainable and safe. When breast-feeding is unavoidable, short-term exclusive breast-feeding is recommended during the first months. However, studies about the safety of these feeding practices have yielded rather conflicting results.
