Sarah Palin's Email Account Hacked
Palin's yahoo email account which she used for personal and professional correspondences was hacked. Screen shots of the emails were published on gawker.com. The secret service and the FBI have forged a joint effort to identify the hackers.
Opinion Leaders...Sarah Palin has been under scrutiny and had her private life turn public since she became the vice presidential nominee. Has she been treated unfairly? As a very public person, is anything out of bounds?

India to Start New Nuclear Program
India has been given the opportunity to begin using nuclear technology to meet their growing energy needs. Why is this newsworthy? Because they were given a waiver from the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group, not requiring them to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Instead they will just be given the technology.
Opinion Leaders...Will this create a dangerous precedent? How will this waiver effect the dealings with other more hostile nuclear states?

Will Changing the Drinking Age to 18 Save Lives?
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 1,700 college students die each year in alcohol-related deaths. Drinking is also linked to car accidents, sexual assaults and fraternity hazing. In an effort to curb the problem over 100 college presidents have united in an attempt to persuade lawmakers to lower the drinking age. College officials propose that the younger age will make drinking the choice of a responsible adult instead of a part of underground culture. MADD insists that the proposed law is an attempt to shift the responsibility of binge drinking related problems away from colleges.
Opinion leaders…should the drinking age be lowered? Will eighteen year olds drinking legally be able to make responsible choices? Will this measure limit fatalities related to alcohol abuse?
