SOCIAL MEDIA AND SENTIMENT MINING
<http://abcmail.net.au/t/1033221/553073/18643/0/>
Reporter: Shevonne Hunt
Businesses and advertisers can already access enormous amounts of
personal data on social media sites, from where you live to what you
like. The next step is sentiment analysis, where online conversations
are mined for words and thoughts, for a commercial advantage. Is this
ethical, and could computers really sift sarcasm from enthusiasm?

GAS RUSH <http://abcmail.net.au/t/1033221/553073/18570/0/>
Reporter: Ian Townsend
Beneath the rich farming soils of the Darling Downs there's a gaseous
gold mine. Mobile drilling rigs dot the landscape as energy companies
rush to secure the next big export contracts - for natural gas. It's
cheaper and cleaner than oil and looks set to supersede coal for making
electricity. But farmers fear it will contaminate an even more valuable
resource - water.
PREVENTION OR CURE? <http://abcmail.net.au/t/1033221/553073/18412/0/>
Producer: Chris Bullock
Primary school kitchen gardens, behavioural economics and frugal
innovation, they're all important elements in a complex strategy to
improve heart health and reduce the obesity epidemic. From a public
forum at the St Vincent's Institute in Melbourne.
SOFT POWER SHIFTS <http://abcmail.net.au/t/1033221/553073/18269/0/>
Reporter: Philip Dodd of the BBC.
>From Hollywood to Harvard, rock'n'roll to rap, American soft power is
well understood. But what about Confucianism, or the Peking Opera,
Bhangra music and Bollywood? They are part of the soft power emanating
from the East, from the emerging superpowers, China and India.
TIMBER POLITICS <http://abcmail.net.au/t/1033221/553073/18051/0/>
Reporter: Stephen Crittenden
Bunnings, Greenpeace, Ikea and the US Congress are part of an unlikely
coalition pushing for a ban on illegally logged timber. An Australian
DNA test may solve the problem of enforcement but the Rudd government is
yet to impose a ban it promised three years ago.

LIMITS OF POWER - AFGHANISTAN
<http://abcmail.net.au/t/1033221/553073/18644/0/>
Speaker: Professor Andrew Bacevich
President Obama has been forced to sack his Chief in Afghanistan for his
comments on Whitehouse policy. Retired colonel in the US army and
historian of international relations, Professor Andrew Bacevich argues
that the US should get out of Afghanistan.
