Bloggers: A portrait of the internet's new
storytellers
By Amanda Lenhart, Susannah Fox
PEW/INTERNET , July 2006
The ease and appeal of blogging is inspiring a new group of writers and
creators to share their voices with the world.
A national phone survey
of bloggers finds that most are focused on describing their personal experiences
to a relatively small audience of readers and that only a small proportion focus
their coverage on politics, media, government, or technology. Blogs, the survey
finds, are as individual as the people who keep them. However, most bloggers are
primarily interested in creative, personal expression – documenting individual
experiences, sharing practical knowledge, or just keeping in touch with friends
and family.

Warren Report
The President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, known unofficially as The Warren Commission, was established on November 29, 1963 by Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination of the U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. It concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald
acted alone in killing Kennedy. The Commisson's findings have since
proved extremely controversial and have frequently been challenged
since then.
The Commission took its unofficial name—the Warren Commission—from its chairman, Chief Justice of the United States Earl Warren.

The 2006 Report on the global AIDS epidemic
UNAIDS , 2006
In the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, adopted at an historic special session of the UN General Assembly in 2001, leaders from 189 Member States committed to comprehensive, time-bound targets for the delivery of the effective HIV prevention, treatment, care and support needed to halt and begin to reverse the global epidemic by 2015.
Accountability and transparency are central to achieving these goals. The Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS provides for regular reporting to the General Assembly on global progress, using indicators developed by UNAIDS, individual nations and a diverse range of partners. To inform the five-year assessment of progress by the UN General Assembly in 2006, UNAIDS reviewed country progress reports on core AIDS indicators, with particular attention to quantifiabletargets that were to be reached by December 2005.
