By not in system - AOL NewsSAN FRANCISCO -- Growing concern by Americans over exposure from damaged nuclear plants in Japan has prompted officials to deploy more radiation monitors in the western United States and Pacific territories, federal environmental regulators say. Officials with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said they do not expect harmful radiation levels to reach anywhere in the U.S. from Japan. "The agency decided out of an abundance of caution to send these deployable monitors in order to get some monitors on the ground closer to Japan," Jonathan Edwards, director of the U.S. Environmental ...

Northern Mariana Islands Support Arizona Immigrant Law, But Why?
By David Knowles - AOL News(July 15) -- Nine states announced today that they were filing a legal brief in support of Arizona's controversial immigration law. Surprisingly, the Northern Mariana Islands, a remote South Pacific commonwealth of the U.S. government, decided to join them. Word that the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) was hopping on the pro-Arizona bandwagon got Surge Desk wondering: Does CNMI really have a dog in this fight?

Congressman Worries Guam Could Capsize
By Dave Thier - AOL News(April 1) -- At first, people suspected it might have been an April Fools joke, but the following story is not, despite all hopes to the contrary, an April Fools' Day prank. During a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the proposed relocation of naval personnel to the island of Guam, Rep. Hank Johnson expressed his concern for the stability of the tiny U.S. territory -- not its political stability or its economic stability, but its basic, physical stability. "My fear that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," the Georgia Democrat said, ...

Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?In other news, earlier tonight, Hillary said of Barack:"If Senator Obama is the nominee, you better believe I'll work my heart ...
Obama's Counter: Superdelegates
By David Knowles - Politics DailyBarack Obama's morning-after, might not be as gloomy as some would think . According to Marc Ambinder, he's set to unveil a slew of newly-minted superdelegate endorsements today (and no, John Mellencamp doesn't count). One of those, Oklahoma's Governor, Brad Henry, had previously said he'd wait until the convention to decide. Make no mistake about it, Hillary Clinton notched a solid win in Pennsylvania. She won the popular vote of that state by roughly 200,000, and now trails Obama in that category by only half a million or so (excluding some caucus states, Michigan and Florida). So why are ...
