I am in a conference, and in a hotel. This morning, I saw
somebody passing by the cleaning lady, and just give her a very loud
good morning and an appreciative word, and the cleaning lady smiled so
much!

I resolve to myself that I should ( and I am bad in this) to show more
appreciation to all who are part of our lives, especially those of our
friends and family, and also specially those that makes our lives more easier.

I constantly yearn that people higher than me in the bizworld will
give me a nod or an approving comment, and I constantly forget that
there are now also people who work with me who are also yearning for me
to give them a nod too.

Appeals court upholds search of laptop at LAX - The Daily Breeze

In a closely watched search-and-seizure case, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court’s decision to toss evidence of alleged child pornography found on a traveler’s computer at Los Angeles International Airport.

Michael Timothy Arnold was a 44-year-old Orange County math teacher when he arrived July 17, 2005, at the LAX customs counter after a three-week trip in the Philippines.

Two U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers turned on his laptop, clicked on a file and found a photo of two nude women, according to the opinion.

Arnold was detained and his computer and other equipment were searched. Numerous images of alleged child pornography were found.
