"How can I access my laptop e-mail (from outlook) on my personal desk top (PC)?"

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the possibilities and solutions for windows to make this happen. This of course will have to happen without company authorization simply because it's a pain in the arse to get anything done going through the proper channels and because they're super iANAL about everything. But since my manager has been the best manager I've had in this company, I'm willing to help him out.

So is there anything we can do to make this happen? Can we set up something on the laptop to give him access? Be it something like active sync from PC to PC or an ssh tunnel forwarding ports?

Anything that would allow him to access his laptop's outlook from another PC AND be able to send from it as well.

Thanks gang!"

Problems arise when a "white" person is seen with food taken from stores and is labeled as "looking for food."

The problem most people had were that the "black man" was labeled a looter while the "white man" was looking for food in equal conditions.

So today I see this comment:

"I could stay an hour and a half at the front end or three hours at the back end," joked Ronald Marshall, a black Democrat.

In the entire article race isn't brought up anywhere else. Of all the people interviewed, there is no hint or revelation of their ethnicity or race.

The AP has been accused of not reporting the news fairly, but rather taking a bias due to race/color. Was this AP reporter out of hand or were they just reporting things as they saw it?"
