Monday's Daily Brief

Monday, March 14, 2011 Arianna Huffington: Biz Stone And The Power Of Giving Back Arianna Huffington: At HuffPost, we've always aimed to be more than just a trusted source for news and information -- we've also wanted to be a catalyst for engagement. As such, we've worked to combine the power of social media and online journalism by taking our users beyond just reading stories about their community and their world, and providing ways for them to become involved in those stories. It's why we've decided to kick off the first official week of the new Huffington Post Media Group at AOL with a "30-Day Service Challenge" to all AOL/HuffPost employees worldwide, encouraging them to find ways to give back to their local communities. In addition, today on every section of HuffPost we're featuring stories about organizations and individuals who are taking action to help others. Plus, I have an exciting announcement about Twitter co-founder Biz Stone. WORLD Fukushima Explosion: Japan Nuclear Plant Rocked By Hydrogen Explosion (VIDEO) POLITICS State Department Spokesman P.J.

Friday's Daily Brief

Friday, March 11, 2011 8.9 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Japan; Hawaii, West Coast Warned Of Tsunami WORLD Top U.S. Intelligence Official: Gaddafi 'Will Prevail' POLITICS Wisconsin Union Bill Passes State Assembly TECHNOLOGY iPad 2 Release: What You Need To Know BUSINESS Fed Reports Finds No Wrongful Foreclosures, Consumer Advocates Slam Methodology RELIGION Pope Links Violence In God's Name To Antichrist BLOG POSTS Arianna Huffington: Bill Keller Accuses Me of "Aggregating" an Idea He Had Actually "Aggregated" From Me In an exceptionally misinformed attack on HuffPost in a column released today, Bill Keller, the executive editor of the New York Times, describes HuffPost's offerings as nothing more than "celebrity gossip, adorable kitten videos, posts from unpaid bloggers and news reports from other publications." I wonder what site he's been looking at. Certainly not ours, as even a casual look at HuffPost will show. Even before we merged with AOL, HuffPost had 148 full-time editors, writers, and reporters engaged in the serious, old-fashioned work of traditional journalism. Did Keller not notice that? And did he not notice that he'd lost one of his top business reporters, Peter Goodman, and one of his best editors, Tim O'Brien, to The Huffington Post -- despite his best efforts to keep them? Did he think they came over to aggregate adorable kitten videos? But then Keller went much further, accusing me of "aggregating" his very thoughts. Unfortunately for him, there is a mountain of evidence proving that he had actually "aggregated" mine... Mindy Pennybacker: Tsunami Watch, Hawaii in the Dark We won't be evacuating our two-story house this year, having done the full drill last February when the Chilean earthquake struck and the predicted 30-foot wave turned out to be six inches. Patrick Takahashi: Hawaii Tsunami, Again At 7:46 PM Hawaii time tonight, a massive 8.9 earthquake struck 81 miles off Sendai, making this Japan's largest earthquake in 140 years. A major tsunami is scheduled to hit Hawaii. David Bromwich: The Embarrassments of Empire Sovereign nations cannot have feelings as people do -- but there are times when they would blush if they could. The ascent of the administration to the perfection of embarrassment was gradual, and its stages deserve to be remembered. Wm. David Cornwell, Sr.: The Battle for a Billion If NFL owners expect NFL players to act like partners by sharing their investment in the game, then NFL owners must treat NFL players as partners by sharing the benefits of that investment.
