...system could be used for all forms of media: magazines and blogs, games and apps, TV newscasts and amateur videos, porn pictures and policy monographs, the reports of citizen journalists, recipes of great cooks and songs of garage bands. This would not only offer a lifeline to traditional media outlets but also nourish citizen journalists and bloggers. They have vastly enriched our realms of information and ideas, but most can't make much money at it. As a result, they tend to do it for the ego kick or as a civic contribution. A micropayment system would allow regular folks...
...explain why interest is surging in detoxing and deep cleansing. More than 40% of people searching online for spa services are hunting for something to clean out the pipes, according to SpaFinder, a consumer resource for spa information; that's almost 50% more than in 2007. Most spas now offer some type of detox, with services ranging from colonics--water-injection enemas that literally flush out your system--to Calgon-take-me-away treatments meant to detach you from financial worries, family, work and other sources of stress. There are also thousands of do-it-yourselfers who swear by those...

Obama tapped him, along with Caroline Kennedy, to head his vice-presidential search committee last summer, a process that apparently deepened the candidate's trust in Holder. When Obama called to offer the Attorney General job in late November, the issue of independence arose immediately. Obama made clear he was looking for someone to represent the rule of law, not his political interests, a point Holder stressed at his Senate hearing...
...what happened to Hamas? Israeli military officials offer a triumphalist explanation in which the Islamist militants simply wilted in the face of Israel's overwhelming firepower. By this reasoning, Israel had overinflated the Hamas threat. The militants are able to lob dozens of crude, badly aimed rockets into southern Israel, but that may be the limit of their abilities. And Israeli officials are congratulating themselves on their tactics. "Hamas and [Lebanon's] Hizballah are worried that Israel has broken the DNA code of urban fighting," says reserve Brigadier General Shalom Harari, while cautioning that Hamas' military leaders are probably already...
