Why does the Herald Times Online cling to subscription model?
2008-06-22 08:37:00 Does anyone know why the Bloomington Herald Times Online is still password protected? It’s not like news is going to be kept locked inside the city limits of Bloomington. Maybe the thousands of Hoosiers fans willing to pay for access keep the subscription model worthwhile despite the fact that it keeps many people out of the Herald Times Online website? Why not move beyond the confines of the limited subscriber base and open up the newspaper to the world? More web traffic would mean higher advertising rates for online advertising and expanding readership beyond just Monroe County, Indiana. More web traffic usually translates into higher revenue! Is the Herald Times Online the last newspaper in America locked away behind a subscriber-only iron curtain? The New York Times opened its doors in an effort to increase advertising revenue. And, there was some talk about the Wall Street Journal doing the same — although most of the news and opinion is freely available on ...

Drunk Baby Born ‘15 Times’ Over the Limit
2008-06-11 00:56:00 A mother who was intoxicated during her labor at a Polish hospital gave birth to a baby girl who was almost 15 times over the country’s adult drunk-driving limit, Agence France-Presse is reporting. The baby girl, born Monday, had a blood alcohol level of 0.29 percent. Poland’s drunk driving limit is 0.02 percent, according to the report. In the U.S., the adult drunk-driving limit is 0.08. Doctors at a hospital in Otwock, on the outskirts of Warsaw, Poland, called the police after the drunk expectant mother checked in to give birth. The 38-year-old mother’s blood alcohol level was 0.12 percent, which is the equivalent of drinking a bottle of wine, according to the report.The mother could face up to five years in prison on charges of endangering the life and health of her child, it is reported. Doctors said the baby is not in immediate danger, but the alcohol may impact her development. You don’t believe this? We got the movie after the break!
