this is interesting and researching for this type of information is relevant for all of us. this is only one study which seems to offer important aspects of our cognitive behavior on which to focus more research.

there are a number of unnamed, as well as unofficial sources, along with statements from other news outlets in this summary of what was available about this tragedy of the shooting and major hasan. given this it seems unlikely that this will be definitive or factual news. my sense is that the writes attempt to be fair, but given the patchiness of information it cannot be that. i particularly didn't like the limited reporting of the walter reed hospital work

there's a lot of information in this in-depth story, which does not speculate on why the conservative candidate, supported by the major conservative media stars, lost the race.

this summary using previous info, following a meeting of pres. obama with the joint chiefs is interesting in demonstrating how the pres. is working to determine how he wants to go forward in afghanistan. included here are some ideas and options which fall between the large troop surge recommended by gen. mc crystal, and the withdrawal of a stated strategy.

a responsible piece, laying out status of the health care bill and upon what choices of those in congress the outcome depends. the tone is straightforward, and one its main points is that knowing what's actually in the bill or not is a vital matter for those who have inon-valid reasons for opposition

straightforward good news and bad news about the economy. the story offers facts and figures which include the effects of cash for clunkers and the weakened dollar, as well as the fact that businesses are rebuilding inventory. it also discusses the factors effecting a continuation of high unemployment and what the government may do to help. only one business source response

the story involves a controversial figure in the afghan-u.s. relationship. they sources from the u.s. are primarily unnamed, and there are few others who have knowledge to add. the story illustrates some major barriers to achieving goals in an anarchistic country: imperfect or contradictoryinformation, major vital factors beyond our control, difficulty in finding trustworthy allies

this may be an important subject altho it appears here that the resolution discussed isn't likely to pass. what seems to be implied is that other resolutions from non-muslim states, and particularly the u.s. will be put forth to counter the current resoutions. i wish there had been more sources, both muslim and non, with more discussion of what has changed and what the u.s. hopes to achieve here.

in addition to celebrating what the late judge william justice brought to texas law, the authors give more current information on what the texas governor has done with the recent case of cameron todd willingham, potentially wrongfully put to death.

the article has in-depth information on this issue, with the reporting on the differences and the hold-ups by the senate republicans discussed with fairness.

the story is a snapshot of the process involved now in the debate/discussion of the public option in the health bill. the writer sorts out the senate's role and the president's in a way that seems fair.

the story focuses on one man who wants to bring real changes to the regulation of the banking industry, and offers specifics about means and methods in what he's looking at in order to accomplish this. the story includes pointing out potential risk in this process.

a story which can tell us about both how those in congress do their work, and about the complexities of us as individual people who can be affected by other events. the interview of this congressman by the writer lays out the man's own feelings and thoughts. i find the list of questions about the president's pending decision about the afghan war weakens the effectiveness of the story asthe point of view switches from the congressman to the subjective point of view of the writer.

this is a 'sky is falling' opinion from a psychiatrist turned social critic about the inevitable consequences if we have a public health care system. most of his predictions sound quite unreasonable and unrealistic, including active" euthanasia for medically expensive children", altho some, for example, " increased birth control and slower population growth", may become reality and be beneficial. but he presents each and all of them as going to "unleash dreadful moral ...

there is an interesting and complex theory here, but the writing is unclear. the comparison to price ceilings of gasoline seems irrelevant, acme inc.'s mismanagement story and the non-trading, for example, all may contain some support for the theory but along with complex contraindications, the author doesn't extend explanation enough to be convincing that this would be a qualitative change in the stock market, altho perhaps it is just not apparent to a complete non-insider.

the topic here is important, but the story is disappointing. in addition to lack of depth, implying a possible issue of policy disagreement wit h the president without more information or more than one other source besides holbrooke's own words, seems unethical.

without any sources to verify the analysis in this opinion on placing a specific medicare payment policy in a separate bill rather than including it in the reform bill, readers cannot assess the validity of the senate's action nor the deficit costs claimed here. the author denigrates the ama, the press corps and democrats as he writes

while the information here is interesting and may be useful for comparisons with our own system, there's no sources to verify the presented facts, for example, that the "actual care is the same whether a patient ..." is in the $1438./night vs. $99./night room, as the hospital marketing director states. the "complexity" mentioned clearly raises our costs, but the differences between 3 million on a small island and 300 million spread over an enormous landscape isn't given much importance here.

the poll goes further than the health care bill to cover the assessment of the president and congress in a number of areas

this seems the worst of the stories as there is nothing here but a put-down, both of the president and the meeting and the health care reform bill. the quotes, only from two republican congressmen show no credibility with their hyperbole. there is nothing of substance, nothing of balance, nothing of journalism here.

this piece has more information about the budget and how the numbers add up than some which carry the same story with senatorial sources.

a good and fair summary of what happened in the senate finance committee as t hey passed the health reform bill out. most of the reservations mentioned were about financing and insurance, and some about the cost to consumers. i'd like to have heard from some of the less known senators. it also doesn't address the public's role and view.

either realistic or pessimistic view that banks are more powerful than the revolve to regulate them.
