...first time I ever saw Tolbert on television, I honestly thought he was former center Matt Geiger. At least, a slightly more svelte, self-confident, even amiable Matt Geiger who puzzlingly got a job as an ESPN/ABC analyst. None of that bewilderment was erased, notably, when I found that it was in fact Tom Tolbert...
...could be a tight race. "[Yudhoyono] may be the favorite, but it is way too early to count Megawati out," says Indra Piliang, a political analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Jakarta.

The report also quotes the highest-ranking CIA analyst as saying she instructed staff...
...time when the site is already feeling the heat from insurgents like Yahoo Personals, Friendster and eHarmony, industry sources are snickering that its tactics may have given a boost to another foe. True.com really took advantage of this to generate publicity for itself," says Nate Elliott, an analyst at Jupiter Research. Guess it's too late to kiss and make up. --By Sonja Steptoe
