Democrat Barack Obama made history Tuesday by clinching the Democratic presidential nomination and becoming the first black candidate to head a major party ticket, after a giant-slaying win over Hillary Clinton. Senator Obama, 46, triumphed after the longest, most expensive nominating epic ever, buckling Clinton's own historic quest to break what she called America's highest glass ceiling by being the first woman president.

Google signed a US$146 million contract with US space agency NASA on Wednesday to lease 42.2 acres of open field at NASA Ames facility in Mountain View California to build a new facility. The 40-year agreement means Google will lease close to its own headquarters in Mountain View. By the end of 2013, Google said it will start construction on 1.2 million square feet of offices for research and development, in an effort to accommodate its growing staff of approximately 20,000. NASA Ames will oversee construction.

Making a brave attempt to be stoic, retired NBC anchor Tom Brokaw, his voice cracking, announced news that sent a shock through the world of journalism Friday afternoon - Tim Russert, Washington bureau chief for NBC and the host of 'Meet the Press,' had collapsed and died minutes earlier, apparently of a heart attack. Mr. Russert, 58, had just returned from a trip to Italy with his wife, Vanity Fair writer Maureen Orth, and their son, Luke, who had just graduated from Boston College. He had come back early to get ready for Sunday's 'Meet the Press' - his preparation for those notoriously tough interviews on the weekly political chat show was legendary - and he collapsed inside NBC's Washington bureau, 'to the extraordinary shock and grief of those working there,' his friend and colleague Keith Olbermann said on his MSNBC show later in the day.
