A California attorney lobbying the U.S. Supreme Court for a review of Barack Obama's qualifications to be president confronted the chief justice yesterday with legal briefs and a WND petition bearing names of over 325,000 people asking the court to rule on whether or not the sitting president fulfills the Constitution's "natural-born citizen" clause.According to Orly Taitz, the attorney who confronted Chief Justice John Roberts at a lecture at the University of Idaho, the judge promised before the gathered crowd that he would, indeed, read and review the briefs and petition.

The story of POP continues like this… A few months ago some folks on the team hatched a plan to finally offer POP and starting this week Hotmail Plus users ($19.95 a year) will be able to use POP access from any device. In the interest of transparency though I want to be clear that we have plans to offer POP to all users (all premium and free) but we aren't ready to do that yet. I can't comment on a timeframe for when free users will get POP, but we hope to do so within the next 12 months.

If you do take advantage of this premium feature and sign up for Hotmail plus you'll also get an ad-free experience, more storage, larger attachment support, and a non expiring account.

Our POP service requires that you use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with the POP and SMTP connection and use SMTP authentication. This is to ensure that your email address and password are not subject to tampering. The settings are the following:

• POP:pop3.live.com (port 995)
• SMTP: smtp.live.com (port 25)
  • Note:make sure you check the box that indicates that your outgoing server requires authentication (in most mail clients this is not checked by default).
• Username:your full email address
• Password: your Windows Live ID password

WellI hope this news is welcome, and thanks for being patient!

-Omar Shahine (Lead Program Manager, Hotmail)

PS - please note that I said Hotmail Plus users and not MSN Premium users. We are working to offer everyone POP access eventually, but for now, Hotmail Plus users are the only ones that can do so.

(An insight into Eastern Orthodox Christian calendar)

BELIEFS COLUMN

Nativity of Christ Sunday

   While the memories of Western Christmas are fading away, millions of Eastern Orthodox Christians will celebrate their Christmas Sunday, which they prefer to call the Nativity of Christ.
   Eastern Orthodox Christians celebrate the Nativity of Christ according to the Julian calendar. At one time, all Christians followed the Julian calendar. But the mean year in the Julian calendar was slightly too long, causing the vernal equinox to slowly drift backward in the calendar year. So in 1582, Pope Gregory VIII decreed that the Gregorian Calendar,
which dropped days to bring the seasons back into synchronization, would be used.
   Eastern Orthodox Christians continued to celebrate the Nativity of Christ according to the Julian calendar, making Dec. 25 fall on Jan. 7 by Gregorian calendar calculations. In 1925, some Orthodox churches adopted the Gregorian calendar. The Patriarchate of Jerusalem, Mount Athos in Greece, Russian and Serbian Orthodox churches stuck to the Julian calendar.
   The Eastern Orthodox Nativity of Christ is not greeted with festively illuminated streets and homes. We expect the light of Christ to illuminate us and, through intensified prayers and fasting, we try to prepare ourselves spiritually.
   There is no exchange of seasonal gifts. Orthodox Christians celebrate receiving the most precious gift, the Nativity of Christ. In all the hustling about regarding gifts and meals, one tends to forget the One we are celebrating.
   Orthodox Christians greet one another on that day and the two following days not with “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays,” but with “Christ is Born. Indeed He is born.”
   We also remember the meaning of Christmas by spreading straw on the floor of our dining rooms to signify that the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, was born in a cave and laid in a manger. Many Orthodox Christians eat Christmas Eve supper not at the table, but sitting on the floor. Whether Christians celebrate on Dec. 25 according to the Gregorian or Jan. 7 according to the Julian calendar, we all celebrate the Nativity of Christ.
