Obama Received Significantly More Coverage in Presidential Race, Coverage Sentiment of Both Candidat - (USA)
President-elect Barack Obama (D-IL) received more media coverage than Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) during the U.S. presidential campaign, however the tone of coverage for both candidates was remarkably similar – according to data compiled by the LexisNexis Analytics 2008 election dashboard. Additionally, dashboard data suggest a correlation between major events in the campaign and the economy with changes in volume of coverage for the candidates. According to dashboard data, between July 8 and No

Cheap Pet Insurance Provides Low Cost Solutions for Your Pets Care - (USA)
Is Pet Insurance Worth It? In many households, a pet is as much a part of the extended family as anyone else in the clan.

Securing cheap pet insurance can be a good way to help make sure that your pet stays as healthy as possible. Pet insurance is a fairly new insurance product on the market.

Netani Rika's brand of Fiji 'courage under fire' - (USA)
OUTSPOKEN Cook Islands publisher and broadcaster George Pitt ruffled a few Pacific feathers with the most unpopular comment of the week at the highly successful UNESCO-funded Article 19 media freedom seminar in Samoa. Speaking after an off-the-record session about the future of PINA, he stunned Pacific Freedom Forum stalwarts in Apia by branding Fiji journalists as a “bunch of wimps” for their allegedly compliant acceptance of the military regime’s draconian censorship since Easter weekend.Fiji

Anti-Nipponism - (USA)
“…This is but one example of the encounters that I have on a regular basis with friends, family, and colleagues who have no idea what is going on in the world. They read the New York Times and believe they are informed. There is no intellectual curiosity, no questioning of reporting, and no analysis of what the mainstream media is pouring out to the masses. While we all like to blame the…media…at some point we all have to take responsibility for our own thoughts and decisions.” - Lauri B. Regan

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

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

Facebook Versus Twitter Is Getting Ugly For Twitter - (USA)
No one uses Netscape Navigator anymore because Bill Gates and Microsoft killed it by copying it. Could the same thing happen to Twitter? After Facebook's busy news day yesterday -- first announcing its $50 million FriendFeed acquisition , then rolling-out real-time search -- it's looking more like it. If Twitter isn't careful, Facebook could render the still-hot startup irrelevant -- and faster than you think. The competition is real. In June, we covered the 10 ways Facebook was trying

the world's deadliest novel strikes again - (USA)
Quite a score for our reader "Ajay", who I think is the first to spot that the Mumbai terrorist attack bears a very close resemblance to the coup plot in Frederick Forsyth's The Dogs of War, which makes it the third and possibly fourth case of someone actually using Forsyth's book as a practical handbook. The exact number depends on whether you believe the story that Forsyth actually took part in planning a coup in Equatorial Guinea in 1977 which didn't go ahead, and recycled the work he did on
