"The trick though is knowing what a podcast is and isn't. If it's just someone reading a press release or speaking the party line from a script then it's not valuable," Chapman told the E-Commerce Times. "Listeners want to hear real voices, real conversations. We live in a world now where overly edited news is not what we want. We want honest and instant communications and podcasting allows this."

Milano, who seemed to be mimicking a press release by Democratic Web site Moveon.org, referred to net neutrality as "the Internet's First Amendment." This characterization is flawed, as the concept of net neutrality would mean greater government regulation of the Net, leading to less freedom...

What was so powerful, and true, about that statement was the acknowledgment that dental health involved a program, a series of interlocking steps that have the goal and end result of a healthy smile.

Bowen's legislation increased the state's commitment to slow, old and inefficient paper voting methods by specifying that "manual recounts of votes" requires that "the paper record copies or the voter verified paper audit trail of the electronically recorded vote are counted manually."
