C-SPAN Radio, Replays of Sunday Morning Public Affairs Programming Available on the Web
This post could be of special interest to those of you who don't have access to American television. Every Sunday morning the major television networks run public affairs talk shows. They feature political leaders from the U.S. and the rest of the World discussing current events and related issues. A local radio station here in Washington DC and available on the web, WCSP/C-SPAN Radio, replays the audio portion from all of these programs beginning at Noon EST/1600 GMT. Here is the current schedule, make sure to check this page for changes.

Public Company Info--Databases
Invisible Web
What's Up With SECInfo.Com

The site hasn't been online for the past couple of weeks BUT good news, it will be back soon. I just had a brief chat with Fran Finnegan, the site owner and he informs me that the SECInfo.Com database is currently being rebuilt on a new, faster server. It will also return with a new ISP which should also improve performance. Fran told me that he hopes to have his very useful database back online in the next week or two. Stay tuned. If you would like to get an idea about how SECInfo is designed, check out a cached version of the homepage via Google.
