...over, for a third time, and there is concern it will be months before another TSA nominee can be found and vetted. The vacancy could be both a security problem for the nation and a political problem for the Obama Administration. Brian Jenkins, a terrorism expert with the Rand Corp., says a TSA without a confirmed leader hurts in two ways: it's bad for front-line morale, and it means there will be no bold policy proposals coming from the agency. "TSA can continue to tread water while it awaits a leader," says Jenkins. "But the threat is dynamic...
...media landscape is changing by the day in London. Murdoch's News Corp. announced Friday, March 26, that it will start charging consumers ?1 ($1.50) a day or ?2 a week to access the websites of the Times of London and the Sunday Times. James Harding, editor of the Times of London, said the move was a "big risk but less of a risk than throwing our journalism away."

What's more, his massive state purchase of U.S. Sugar Corp. land to enhance Everglades restoration, touted last year as a landmark environmental triumph, is now under scrutiny as a sweeter deal for the sugar giant: the company was represented by a legal firm headed in part by Crist's former chief of staff, George LeMieux, whom Crist later tapped...
...They're hoping to mimic London-based Tullow Oil, which discovered some 2 billion bbl. of oil in landlocked Uganda over the past four years. Last month, Texas-based oil company Anadarko Petroleum Corp. announced that it had tapped a giant reservoir of natural gas off the coast of Mozambique. "Anadarko's find went off like a bomb here in Houston," says Robert Bertagne, a Texas-based oil wildcatter. "It was, 'Wow, we are finding large quantities of gas, and that means we have hydrocarbons in the area.' Once you have a discovery, more people are going...
