The last unpublished This Week in Geek - (USA)
I quit the weekly column at Crikey today, and they chose not to publish the last one. Why let it go to waste though. The stories that I cut before submitting (and are not below) were a Huffington Post internship selling for $13k, a new round for BlogHer, and a piece asking why The Gruen Transfer crippled embedding on the fat pride ad.

DoJ Drops Watada Case - (USA)
By Steve HyndSome good news I missed yesterday - the Department of Justice has dropped its case against 1st Lt. Ehren Watada, who refused deployment to Iraq because he felt it was an immoral war. In Feb. 2007, military judge Lieutenant Colonel John Head halted Watada’s case following possible inconsistencies concerning a “stipulation of fact” agreed before the hearing. The decision led to a mistrial, ending Watada’s court martial. The Army appealed, but a judge said Watada could not be tried ag

Health Care Reform? INSURANCE BAIL OUT is more like it – by guest author Skyagunsta - (USA)
By Skyagunsta Let it be said upfront and outright that not having a Single-Payer Universal Health care System, to cover medically necessary services for all Americans, is a major travesty played on the American people by the enabling, moneyed-making relationship existing between the insurance companies and the politicians. As a result, the politicians continue to guarantee, on the backs of the American people, that insurance companies keep their profit-making apparatus well fed; while the ins

12th Ave Bike/Streetcar Harmony - (USA)
So a few weeks back, I explained why a streetcar would function better on 12th Ave compared to the Broadway alignment. Most people seemed to agree that this would be a much better route due to the opportunities it would provide for a healthy, lively community. But one worry I have heard repeatedly is that a streetcar down 12th would interfere with an integral bike corridor, connecting South Downtown to Capitol Hill. Its a legitimate worry. As anyone who bikes regularly knows, the SLUT tracks w

The Lasting Fallout of a Nuclear Meltdown’s Data Gaps - (USA)
LIVERMORE, California — Thirty years ago, half the core of a reactor at the Three Mile Island nuclear complex melted down, but government officials and the utility running the place didn’t know that. And they wouldn’t know for six more years. In fact, as the crisis extended from its start on March 28, 1979 , the amount of information available about the nature of the accident remained slim. Key pieces of data were missing. Nobody knew exactly what was happening inside the containment ve
