Well-informed consumers know to shop around and compare prices and quality for whatever product they set out to buy. However, the same smart buyers may skip this time-honored method of acquiring an excellent purchase when it comes to getting insurance.
Perhaps it is because no one really feels too eager at the thought of sitting for long stretches of time sifting through fine print. There is also that universal assumption that “they (the insurance policies) are all the same, anyway.” Regardless of the excuse not to, one should make an extra effort in finding the right insurance plan. Passing it all up to chance simply because you think you have better things to do than stare at sheets of paper can result in costly payments, inadequate coverage, or unsuitable policies for your specific needs.

Outside the local train station, the Maplewood Civic Association maintains a bulletin board plastered with news of jazz festivals and yoga classes for this small, affluent New Jersey town. One day last winter, an unassuming new flyer appeared, nestled between ones hawking a fish tank and a drum set, titled, “Introducing the Local.” The flyer describes the Local as “a community Web site by you and for these communities, mentored by The New York Times.”
Why is a media titan like The New York Times Co. — already stretched thin by the challenges of a faltering business model — dabbling in community news, traditionally the bottom of the journalistic food chain? Call it the Google Effect. The search giant’s model, described by author John Battelle as “a billion dollars, one nickel at a time,” is a perfect description of how media companies hope to take tiny sources of local revenue and roll them up into big money.

Eric had some doctor’s appointments today and I had to drive him (since he was being sedated). So there I am, sitting in the waiting room with April, and on the TV there were your typical afternoon soap operas on. Well, was. On came “breaking news” for Omaha–Gunman at Mall of the Bluffs.
Mind you, Mall of the Bluffs is across the border in Council Bluffs, Iowa, but it’s still, well, close enough. Most of us, even those who don’t live here in Omaha, recall the Westroads Mall/Von Maur shooting in 2007 (more memorable to me, I suppose, since I was in the hospital having April watching all of it unfold on the news in my room). Stupid kid shot down random people before shooting himself, making it one of the biggest news stories for Omaha in years.
Well, here on the news, there was a report of a man “running through the mall with a gun.” No one was shot, the mall was put under lockdown after it was evacuated, and the police and news reporters seemed to be just standing around doing not much of anything. Then they report that they “lost the suspect.” Like he left the mall. Nowhere to be found. So, oh well, let’s just open the mall back up. So they let everyone back in while all the hubbub wound down.
So I’m thinking, well, gee, maybe the guys hiding somewhere, in some stockroom or something, or gosh, I don’t know, plans on coming back?
Either way, I figured there should have been something more done. And then I find out WHY nothing more was done–apparently, the gun that was referred to? Just a frickin’ black umbrella. And the “mad gunman?” Just a gentleman minding his own business.
Wow. Seriously. That’s got to be the funniest thing I’ve heard all day!

Whether Google News is an improvement over the Orwellian days of broadcast and cable TV is debatable. It seems to be, at least while there are other search engines that offer news features. For the Orwellian inclined, YouTube News has video news (YouTube is owned by Google). Those who have read George Orwell will always be skeptical of any series of motion pictures that is labeled “news”. Orwell described a totalitarian world where “Newspeak” is the reality, where televised news is “doublespeak”, where peace is war, where 2+2=5. To abandon printed news and other sources of information is unwise.
Local news is also available on Google News. To see local news, a user just enters a city, state or zip code. A news feed is also available through Google News. The news feed can be downloaded to a website. Google News also maintains its own blog to let users know of changes.
