Research links of the week, and ex-journalists

After a long respite, some new research links, and a couple more references to what's going on in the world of laid-off journalists:

  • We Were Print a blog from several "Former and Soon-to-Be Former Print Journalists". Includes a body count, and links to job listings.
  • 42 Things I know from William Lobdell, recently bought out at LA Times, about the current state of newspapers (and the Times).

    The research links:
    News:
  • The Newsfilm Online Digitisation Project offers selected newsfilm from ITN/Reuters archives, by subscription or free browsing.
  • PopURLs, shows the most popular links on the Web today.
  • Beijing Olympics News from NewsNow.

    Reference:
  • A Chronology of Data Breaches, from Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. I've used this in the past but don't think I linked it. Very helpful when searching for past hacking or theft incidents.
  • A Big List of Sites That Teach You How To Do Stuff from ReadWriteWeb.

    Public Records:
  • Criminalsearches.com: this beta from PeopleFinders offers free national criminal records searches, with the usual caveats.
  • Safe Road Maps, a database of fatal traffic accidents overlaid on Google Maps.

    Business:
  • BizToolKit, from James J. Hill Reference Library in Minneapolis, organizes the business web, featuring the Web's best business information sources. Free but has a pro subscription version.

    Drug mystery, research roundup, and blogging status

    I'm always a sucker for a good conspiracy mystery, especially when it involves drug planes, the CIA, and south Florida. So here's a good one, with a roundup from Boing Boing ( Update on CIA drug plane owned by “Donna Blue Aircraft, Inc” ), linking to the site that seems to be breaking this story, Mad Cow Morning News , by Daniel Hopsicker. A lot of fun research went into this report. Enjoy. Only a couple research links this week: Online Encyclopedia of Mass Violence Gov. Sarah Palin: Background from Anchorage Daily News. And in other news, I'm starting treatments for a health condition that has been building for the last couple months. I don't know how much I'll be able to blog over the next few weeks, and things have already slowed down here quite a bit as I have been spending much of my time visiting doctors and hospitals for tests and preliminary treatments. Hope things will get back to normal around here but for now expect light blogging. I have continued to po...

    That woman

    Amazing the amount of interest Sarah Palin's raising around the country. I heard talk of her everywhere this week, places I wouldn't have expected. Daily Source has compiled a comprehensive list of resources on Palin's background, at Special section: an in-depth look at the record and policies of McCain’s VP choice Sarah Palin . There's similar coverage at Mahalo: Sarah Palin . The Anchorage newspaper, of course, compiled all their news coverage of Palin on their website, at Gov. Sarah Palin: Background from Anchorage Daily News. A blog: Women against Sarah Palin . With links to more, like Impalin . (Thanks Deb.)
