Google Broadband Sought by Topeka, Boulder, Other U.S. Cities
March 4th, 2010 |
No Comments
Google plans on testing one or more high-speed broadband networks in a select number of midsized U.S. cities, and has asked interested municipalities to provide information about their communities that will allow Google to make its decision. That has led Topeka, Kan., to change its name temporarily to Google, and other towns such as Grand Rapids, Mich., to launch massive social networking campaigns. Google, however, is choosing to keep its decision-making process under wraps.

Easter Island thumped in first official football match
August 6th, 2009 |
No Comments
By Gideon Long
BBC News, Santiago, Chile
Easter Island, the tiny South Pacific territory administered by Chile, has staged its first ever officially sanctioned football match.
The islanders played their first competitive fixture in the Chilean Cup.
The game ended in a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Colo Colo, the 28-time national champions dubbed the Manchester United of Chilean football.
Fifa – the sport’s governing body – had described the clash as the island’s "match of the century".
It had always promised to be a tough challenge, and sure enough, Colo Colo won with two goals in each half.
Party atmosphere
But this was about more than just football. There was a carnival atmosphere throughout.
The game was played on an atrocious, bumpy pitch just yards from the beach.
A blustery wind blowing in from the Pacific Ocean made conditions tricky for both sides.
Virtually the entire population of 4,000 islanders turned out to watch.
Many wore traditional Polynesian dress and face paint, and held aloft the island’s distinctive red and white flag.
The match was broadcast live on Chilean TV to viewers over 3,700 km (2,300 miles) away on the mainland.
Before kick-off, the Easter islanders staged a war dance – a native show of bravado designed to intimidate their opponents.
But if Colo Colo were frightened, they did not show it, and it was they who went through to the second round of the Chilean Cup.
For the players of Easter Island – which is famous for its mysterious stone statues – the cup run is over, at least for another year.
