10+ Independent Online News Sources and Why America Needs More of Them
The fact that most major news outlets are controlled by a handful of massive, powerful companies, an aberration called media consolidation, is becoming of growing concern in America. It is vitally important that the citizens of this country become more skeptical of the news that is being fed to them by these huge corporate media outlets and find alternative means of learning about what is actually happening in this country and around the world. What they find might be rather shocking in its contradiction to what they are spoon fed on a daily basis.
There was a time when the nightly news was synonymous with the words objective, impartial, fair and balanced. Reporters and newscasters saw it as their duty and badge of honor to inform the public, as factually as possible, of the happenings in this country and around the world. Today, instead of journalists such as Walter Cronkite, a legend in his own right who brought the scandals of Watergate and the Vietnam War to the American people unfiltered, we have the major media outlets and their Talking Heads blindly supporting "facts" as told to them by the government, corporations and anyone else they deem worthy. Unfortunately, as the Iraq war has taught us, perceived truths are not always the facts and thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died as a consequence. It is extremely disturbing that the mainstream media's abject failure to do its job and the public's abject failure to demand that they do so could result in a "mistake" of such magnitude.
► What the Big Six Really Own
Each of the Big Six own an array of media venues, from TV and radio stations to newspapers and magazines to film and production studios. To gain a better understanding of the breadth of their reach, both freepress and the Colombia Journalism Review have composed fairly up-to-date listings of the companies under their ownership.
The Media's Big Six
In 1983, 90% of our media was owned and controlled by 50 different companies. Today, 90% of our news (whether we read, watch, or listen to it) is dominated by six media giants:
- Comcast
- News Corporation
- The Walt Disney Company
- Viacom
- Time Warner
- CBS Corporation
The merging of so many media companies into today's handful of powerhouses has been allowed, and some may say encouraged, by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), an independent government agency composed of five people whose duty it is to determine media policy and law. Created in 1934 by the Communications Act, the FCC's role is to regulate interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable throughout the United States. Critics say it hasn't done a very good job, and the proof is the existence of the Big Six.
Why should Americans be worried that only a small number of companies control so much of our media? Because with the Big Six's enormous control over a wide spectrum of the media, from production companies to radio to television, comes the ability to dictate what events they see as newsworthy (or not) on a massive scale. News is no longer a public service meant to communicate facts but a means for these companies to make profits from entertaining viewers. The importance of a news event is determined by ratings not by what is considered to be in the public's best interest.
Do you rely solely on the mainstream media for your news or do you read, view and listen to a variety of sources to get your news?
Independent News Options: Really Keeping It Real
A poll done by the Pew Research Center, in September of 2011, found that, "Fully 66% (of the public) say news stories often are inaccurate, 77% think that news organizations tend to favor one side, and 80% say news organizations are often influenced by powerful people and organizations." A more recent Gallup poll, taken in September of 2015, showed that 60% of Americans still do not trust the mass media to deliver the news fully, accurately and fairly.
These numbers are not so much a bleak outlook but evidence that the public is finally beginning to realize that the mainstream media cannot be trusted – a good thing and perhaps a catalyst for change. Americans need to understand what is really happening in our country and the rest of the world by reading, watching and listening to a variety of news sources, not only the mainstream media. Many times a foreign newspaper or news program will reflect a completely different perspective on the way a story in this country is portrayed.
Thankfully, there are a growing number of independent news sources available to anyone with access to the internet. The following are only a sampling of the alternatives to the Big Six but most state that they are "non-partisan, independent and non-profit." Some are more transparent than others; a couple go so far as to outline a code of journalistic ethics their company follows.
► Is your news answering the following?
- Who?
- What?
- When?
- Where?
- Why?
- How?
► Good news sources abide by a code of ethics. Does your news include the following?
- Accuracy
- Fairness
- Completeness
- Honesty
- Independence
- Impartiality
- Transparency
- Accountability
- Respect
- Excellence

Be a Real News Advocate
Americans need to become aware of news sources other than the mainstream media. It is essential that the public question the validity of their news. With only a tiny number of companies controlling what the vast majority of us see, hear, and read, it is critical that the public realize that there are alternatives. It is not only an important part of being an informed and engaged citizen, it is critical to our nation remaining a democracy.
Author's Note:
All these sources claim that they do not accept government, political, or corporate funding and that their missions are to seek the truth and provide real news versus the entertainment mass media outlets spew to maintain viewer ratings. But this does not eliminate bias. At the end of the day, it is human beings, with all their shortcomings, creating the final product. So it is up to every reader/listener to question their news and its sources. Being aware that the mainstream media is mostly propaganda is a good starting point. The difficult part is finding the truth.

Can you recommend any other news sources to add to this list? Please comment!
I read a reporter/journalist, named Ryan Grim. He recently left his online paper to start his own. I believe him to be truthful, fair and balanced. He is interesting and also has a slight flair of making you smile when appropriate. He has links on all his articles. The ones I have read are ones that take me to the Interecpt, who he also writes for, as well as another person who I believe to be an impeccable person of great talent and honesty, Jeremy Scahill. I have read and enjoyed his books considering the topics.
I believe both of these gentlemen should be on your list for Independent Reporters. Thank you
Many of these are political opinion sites. I wanted sites that provide facts and facts only. It's too easy to go through these lists and find sites that confirm our individual biases.
I'm glad to have a list of sites to sift through, but it it is irresponsible to promote some of these third rate news organizations.
Isn't it interesting that Drudge Report is not even mentioned?
I appreciate the intent of this article and agree with checking sources, getting news from independent sources etc.
However, although I won't comment on some of your less-biased sources listed--I have to comment on Al Jazeera. You did not do your homework.
Not only do they accept government funding, they are basically OWNED by the Qatari government/Royal family. They are extremely biased on many issues--I could go on but everyone can research it themselves. The Royal arm of the Qatari government is NOT imdependent, nor objective and relatively unbiased.
So many great views in this article. It is crazy how the media can be so manipulative, especially to these younger generations who want to quickly believe what they hear. Great work on this article.
An independent press is priceless and important to democracy! Great read.
Gemini Fox, I happened upon this article when I googled unbiased news websites. This article you wrote is really good, and I'm going to share this on my Facebook. I wrote a few of the websites down, and I'm going to give them a try!
Funny how the real news that comes out here is not listed and the person writing this does not list real news here besides their ones they think are true! not saying some are true news but there are others that report 98% cent true with others being mocked that manyv cal conspitacy and that is what comes true! I feel this report is only partially true as some are part of the giant news corporations.
Also I find Cnn un- American and almost traitorists. They spew their lies worldwide and turn others against America.
The BBC is on the same level. It is my home country and I am sad to find them so unethical.
Truth and reliable sources are no longer needed in Journalism. Anything poisonous against Trump with no sources will be covered as fact.
Thanks so much for this list! I found it quite useful as an international relations student. Most mainstream media harps on about the same topics and I was looking for more variety and different perspectives. I especially love newsbud and the intercept. I even bookmarked some of those new sites, including this page. :)
Just visited 5 of the 10 links provided. ALL 5 do nothing more than promote democrat ideals and trash conservative ones.
This article promotes only the left.
I sure would like to find a new source that is balanced.
Excellent and significant article about maybe the most important issue in America today.
The BBC ought not be cited as a reliable source because it is partly Government funded. Furthermore its coverage of Middle East affairs is far from unbiased. However I write from an Irish/European perspective which appears quite different from the American experience. The Washington Post and the NYT are my preferences.
Today's free speech news sources are you and I... the internet, and all that is on it... Hubpages, YouTube, the ability to Email others and get answers directly from the source.
MSM is little more than propaganda, corporate, or political, repeaters as you say, not reporters. Today's newspapers and news channels are dinosaurs, they are already extinct they just don't know it yet.
This is fantastic, thank you for sharing!
Having been part of a JOA ( joint operating agreement) in Detroit, Michigan, I can say for sure that it was a con job perpetrated by Ronald Reagan and Edwin Meese. The figures involved ( ABCs....audit bureau of circulation) were phone figures and had been for years. Now, as in most large cities, there is one newspaper in Detroit.....oh sure, two coin op machines, side by side, but in reality, it is one newspaper.
These are very refreshing choices if you want the same crap your already being fed being served to you in a trojan horse.
This is my first encounter with this site and am already loving it. Hope I can get by more often from now
This looked like a good site for me to find a recommended news site that isn't biased. Wrong! It took about 3-5 min. each on the 10 independent sites listed to see that they ALL are slanted in 1 direction or another. "Independent" obviously does not mean un-biased. Sad.
Thank you for the information! I did not feel any bias.
This is one of most needed articles I've read recently. Thank you Gemini Fox for your research, accuracy and unbiased approach in explaining what is really going on with journalism today. This is a message that nobody will hear in mass media...yet it needs to be heard and understood in spades. I shared it with all my FB friends.
www.neutralnews.co.uk is an excellent comparative media source - one to watch
This is the best thing I have read in a long time - very important and truthful info here. THANK YOU! I will be sharing this :)
Truth-out.org needs removed from the 'non-partisan' list. They are far from non-partisan.
I am constantly looking for alternatives to the mainstream media and this article provides a great deal of information in that direction. I am so disappointed in both the left and right controlling the public with the media. I just want the truth so I can make an informed decision. But one statement I continue to make to my friends is to stop talking and start acting, get involved with both writing your representatives and actions. The final statement in this article is pure truth and everyone should take to heart.
We all need to be what Ben Franklin envisioned, and for a time realized - citizen journalists, publishing papers on every corner.
The article I liked and found informative. However, Freepress( which is listed as 1 of the 2 websites at the bottom as to how to improve the media and where to start) Appeared to me at nothing more that a TMZ of politics- Which is the very reason I came to your website . I feel frustrated and helpless that so many people are; and Ill go as far as to say- subliminally molded into being and thinking what the media/ government/ whoever wants us to believe- So when I open link to FreePress and all i see is "Jeff Sessions is a racist!" , i can hardly rely on them to be credible , correct, and very least , unbiased. Which completely undermines your article- which was a breath of fresh air until that link- just wanted you to know. I feel that many people will be seeking information as to what they can do to try to show media we NEED truth, not their version of it. And that website reinforced what we already knew
Try Adractive app. provides news with different views to keep it unbiased. also provides a short history / background
I agree to some degree, makes sense
You must be kidding. al jezeera and the bbc?
What America truly needs: teaching and learning critical thinking and reasoning at a younger age and continuing that education throughout college/university level. Since every human has and demonstrates bias, the best way I've found to have a better likelihood at arriving at what's mostly accurate and true is to get one's news from a variety of news sources - domestic, foreign, left, right, center, and to use critical thinking to question all that is gleaned and processed. It's an arduous task at first, but becomes easier once a plan is put into place and practiced. ie. Using an RSS reader or new aggregator site allows you to select various sources and read them all in one location.
Studies have revealed these base positions in major media:
RT and Sputnik...you must be kidding me!
I think most of these sources have a leftist bent. Perhaps they were different 4 years ago. But now I find it difficult to find an outlet for the news, not a reporter's opinion.
I don't think the author said these were neutral - just independent and generally trustworthy ... though RT and Sputnik definitely don't fit that description!
It's a good start and it would be nice of all the folks yelling "that's biased!" would suggest their alternatives for findng non-fake news, when possible from independent sources.
As Americans we get our in-country news mostly from one of the big 6 - so anything truthful from another source is a good option for us to consider in our news pile. I want to know what RT is saying, but I want to know that it's propaganda, just like other state-owned news sources. Knowing what they ar saying is different from believing everything they say. So VOA, UK and German sources, etc - valuable if you have the right goggles on!
The Young Turks
I do not see Alternet.org on your list. It was my understanding that they were a good source of real news. No?
Genealogy with out documentation is called Mythology! All of the major news media sources are giving us Mythology every day. Please boycott these dishonest organizations. It is all about money for them. They don't care about us! They will not change, until we force them by not listening to them any more! I am saying goodbye to all major news companies.
I can get more factual information from my local High School newspaper then the so called professional media.
It would be a cold day in hell when I go to Al Jazeera for any news.
Thanks for the information. I'm just starting to look into better ways to get my news. Truthfully I have avoided all news for many years due to various grievances with the way it is presented. Hopefully I will be refreshed by some of the alternatives. Again, thanks!
CNN, NBC, ABC, FOX and MSNBC have just given up their rights to free speech. They've allowed trump to tell them all to shut up. None of them have broken their non disclosure agreements and none of them walked out of them, like a real reporter would do. I'm looking for trust worthy outlets hoping to see these cowards replaced as sources.
The new sources are labeled independent by the author........that has my radar blinking red......independent my ass......just look at who the big ones endorsed in this bizarre election.......HRC....now tell me how independent is that.......lol.....
Sorry, but none of these sites are unbiased . Scanned through them all and found them to be mostly left leaning with liberal/left opinion pieces. These sites are no better then right leaning ones. Very difficult to find a balanced news source out there that shares facts and allows the readers to decide for themselves.
Not sure why Gemini Fox has allowed this to carry on so long without remaining an active participant in the discussion. But while I won't attempt to speak on her behalf, I WILL say that the basis for this post remains relevant.
The most important thing that EVERYONE needs to realize first & foremost is that MOST media sources now have some bias or viewpoint. It's the end-product of the "24-hour news cycle" and the consolidation of our media. It's now more about ratings... and filling air time... and even sensationalism, than it is about pure reporting. Running down leads, double- and triple-checking facts & sources BEFORE commenting, and real investigative reporting takes time; and while the payoff can be sensational, the process is more likely to be "boring" and time-consuming (read: not "good TV").
It is incumbent upon us, as American citizens, to do our own due diligence. Yes, the list that was originally compiled--and since added to--here is flawed. But that's the challenge. We need to be willing to put in the work- to research, read and evaluate information from MULTIPLE sources and viewpoints, to try to read between the lines & find Truth. We've gotten lazy, folks- we want our snippets & soundbytes so we can feel "informed" in a hurry, and move on to our reality TV and NetFlix while still feeling good about ourselves.
So stop debating the individual links here. Just use them as a starting point, come to your own conclusions about them, and if they don't strike you as "unbiased", then dig around and find some yourselves! Then you can post your OWN list in your OWN blog for others to use as a new benchmark. :-)
@Steven: I wonder about that "liberal bias" thing. At the moment you live in a mostly liberal environment (like, half of the US, or whole Austria) it's obviously almost impossible to be absolutely non-biased, since you would need to deny the content of most news you actually read, even if their argumentation seems logical and is backed by trustworthy sources. Of course journalists, which live in liberal environments, will statistically get more into contact with other people which share liberal values at least to a certain extent.
This is no actively made "bias" which alters the quality of the media in any way. Instead of banishing news outlets like reuters, you could just add an explicitely illiberal news outlet into your mix. Of course you need to think about every text you read, if it's written to convince you of illiberal or liberal values, or not.
There is a huge difference between the 'bias" of reuters and, say, the "bias" of sputnik. Sputnik (and RT) are websites controlled by the russian government, and an active part of their communication strategy. These news outlets put a further meaning into every news they publish. These news are really biased towards pre-defined (russian governmental) values.
Because of that, I cant understand why RT and Sputnik are part of that list.
Of course you could argue, that every govt-led website is somehow "biased". If not, why are there only UK and Russian govt news outlets listed? What about France24 or DW (Deutsche Welle, German website)?
Many (democratic) countries have govt-controlled news outlets which are known for their journalistic quality being on par with better news sites and NGO news projects. No reason to stay away from them if you would even read something like RT.
1. The Real News Network (therealnews.com) Severe Liberal Bias
2. The Christian Science Monitor (csmonitor.com) Slight Conservative Bias
3. Truthout (truth-out.org) Severe Liberal Bias
4. Reuters (reuters.com) Slight Liberal Bias
5. The Nation (thenation.com) Severe Liberal Bias
6. ProPublica (propublica.org) Mostly Conspiracy Related Content.
7. The Center for Public Integrity (publicintegrity.org) Appears to be Unbias
8. Reveal (The Center for Investigative Reporting) (revealnews.org)Appears Unbias but also appears to have some conspiracy related content.
9. AllSides (allsides.com) Appears to be Unbias but contains news sources from Mainstream media like New York Times and CNN who have been know to post fake news and have Severe Bias.
10. FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) (fair.org) Severe Liberal Bias and Post Fake News
11. Who, What, Why (whowhatwhy.org) Severe Liberal Bias
12. WorldNews (WN) Network (wn.com) Slight Liberal Bias and Foreign News Source
13. Sputnik (sputniknews.com) Government Bias, Foreign(Russia) and Conspiracy.
14. Watchdog.org Appears Unbias but appears to take a hands off approach political sensitive topics.
Listen up, I've seen a ton of comments stating this is bias and this isnt. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's bias or non-bias. There are some legitimate, all sided news sources out there. But just because you may not agree with it, doesn't technically mean it's bias.
Sputnik and RT as non partisant ? Are you serious ? These are propaganda arms of Russia !
British: BBC News (bbc.com)
British: The Guardian (guardian.co.uk/)
That's hilarious... They are proud left wing liberal news outlets.
Nobody in the world would seriously take the view that these places are neutral or independent.
Did Lena Dunham compile this list! Ha ha!
RT and Sputnik are owned by the Russian government. Sputnik was the source of the fake Wikileaks document that Trump used during the campaign - the first major sign that Russia was attempting to tamper with the election. There is no way either of those can be credibly included on this list.
Also, The Nation and Truthout identify themselves as providing progressive op-eds. Likewise, CSMonitor does lean right.
This is all a good start, though.
Sorry, but therealnews.com is liberal. Go look at it.
After months and months of watching all those chuckle heads on mainstream news each night and following those grossly onaccurate polls, I feel like I've been watching some sort of reality show where the American electorate is the punchline. I was not one of those people who thought Hilary had it in the bag but it wasn't even close. I no longer watch high-paid, out of touch anchors -- why waste my time. I want to know what my fellow American thinks and deals without the filter of the no-nothing news. The list here has offered some good options to try out for additional perspective. I'm also working on keeping an open mind when it comes to the opinion and character of others.
I'm 26 years old and I'm sad to confess a few truths. Over the last few days, following the announcement of the Presidential Elect, I had become depressed and unmotivated. I'm always on the go as a senior in college, so Facebook and CNN are ways that I can quickly stay updated on what's going on in our country and sometimes around the world. Sad, I know. There was an overwhelming amount of news released and I didn't know WHAT to believe. After noticing my change in mood, I decided to cleanse my home (smudging and meditating) and told myself that I'm going to disconnect from social media for the weekend (hopefully I'll last longer.) Well, it's been 2 days and I feel unbelieveably good. I've found my motivation again and I'm not harboring the feelings of those that are being attacked based on their perceived ethnicity and who they support politically. It's so weird how amazing social media can be but it's also saddening how much damage it has the power to cause. I'm grateful for this article. I had no idea of the Big Six or the FCC (mind blowing.) I've gone and subscribed to ALL of the ethical news sources you posted. Thanks again.
All news is corrupt and biased now.
These might have been unbiased news 4 years ago, but no longer.
I agree with others that many of the sites are strongly biased......but not left or right....many are biased to corporatism and neoliberalism.....does not matter if you are democrat or republican both are beholden to corporations......both are one side of the same coin......and btw has anybody noticed Ms Fox has not blogged in some time........mmmm
I saw reuters and stopped reading. Nuff said
you have to be kidding. most if not all these news outlets are socialistic/progressive and can not be trusted!
Propublica is also funded by Open Society. For more info as to how deep the rabbit hole goes, see this article:
Yes, it's hosted by Fox, but that doesn't make the info any less real.
Real News Network is supported by Open Society Foundations, aka George Soros. RNN is even hosting a summit for them on the 22nd of this month. (October, 16) Soros also made a mega donation to PBS which makes them suspect. Dig deep when looking for an unbiased, bipartisan news site because sometimes these connections are buried.
Apparently there are no unbiased news sources these days.
RT is literally owned and operated by the Russian government. Don't know how you got past that one...
Well, I got through 11 of the links... terrible biased garbage for the most part. Really, what is even the point in listing these sites. The MSM is already incredibly left-biased. Why one earth does anyone need more such sites? You wasted 15 minutes of my time...
Jews are 2.5% of the population. Rather than ask the question you might expect - what I want to askis WHY we all accept being forbidden from discussing what is pervasive, massive, and arguably coordinated and planned domination of news media by Jews? Again - good and bad in allgroups, but what its a out is a cohesive, ethnocentric 2.5% with areligion based on moral chauvinism. See Deuteronomy chapter 7. Antisemites did not write that - Jews did.
And they control how we understand Palestine, Syria, Russia and the immivasion (kalergi plan) of Europe, long supportedby Jews like George Soros and Barbara Specter.
THOSE WHO HATE TRUTH CALL TRUTH 'hate'
sputniknews is owned by the Russian state. Tough to get unbiased when it's owned by the government...
Wow, the first link (realnews.com) has nothing but anti-Trump info on the page! The articles are full of adjectives and hype just like CNN. If that is objective reporting someone needs to go back to journalism school.
I do second the thoughts of Reese and Ruby. One site I know of which works on the same principle is
Maybe there is no such one site or team which can provide a balanced news...but two sites work :)
Democracy Now! should be on this list. Amy Goodman is one of the best journalists of our time.
ARE YOU KIDDING Me?
YOU are citing the BBC as being NeuTRAL ?
they themselves have cited themselves as LEFT WING ... that is the ONLY site I noted in my brief scan of sites recommended.. NO way ... thanks,,, maybe re visit and UPDATE this list ... thanks
This article has lost credibility. Reuters is unbiased ?? Ok, send me a link that is either anti Hillary or pro Trump
Nice Article. I learn a lot from this nice article. I am a small article writer, love your work. hope you keep writing such a useful articles in future as well. Hope this article will help new comers and also improve the quality of work in US national news staff. Thank You
Big money is what keeps big news channels in demand so it naturally follows that those big money investors will always influence the news when it comes to politics..more so now than ever. The clinton foundation..is just the tip of the iceberg. As an American I take what is going on in America when it comes to the so-called "democratic party" and it sickens me. Even JFK would back away from these folks. No wonder why Putin is interested..he would definitely like to see hillary in office. During the G20 summit obama as not even afforded a deplaning ramp, no red carpet. Even when he met with Mr. Putin it was just a stare down. Obama has no respect. at all from his own people..how should he ask for it from any other nations..especially those who dislike us the most. Do you expect anything different from Hillary..if so then you are a fool at very best.
It's relatively new but The Unopinionated looks promising, name says it all!
Today we are seeing the electronic equivalent of the printed "journalism" of the 1800's, when anyone with access to a printing press could become a reporter. Then, as now, sensationalism took precedence over fact, bias was expected as normal, even desirable, and if you did not have a real story, you could create one out of thin air and there was no peer review to call it into question. Much of our recorded history of that era, particularly in regard to the happenings in the American west has actually been taken from the historical character based pulp paperbacks that were very popular at the time. As the craft matured and competition over the same stories forced those reporting the facts to do just that, journalism became more trustworthy. Bias did not disappear completely, but it was certainly less acceptable. Hopefully as internet based reporting comes of age, the same forces will create a new system of self policing that will result in more facts and less spin.
It is interesting that you hold up Walter Cronkite as the shining beacon of fact and truth. Unfortunately it was Cronkite himself who shattered the glass wall between journalism and editorial activism in an on-air diatribe against the Vietnam war in one of his newscasts. While everyone should have the rights to hold and express their points of view, the highly respected Cronkite's failure to keep his views separate from the news he was trusted to report was an impetus to the explosion of yellow journalism we are currently forced to filter facts from.
Many thanks for your article! Part of my decision process in choosing which news agency to read invariably involves the vocabulary used in the article. I try to apply a simple standard that has been outlined in S. I. Hayakawa's "Language in Thought and Action." One needs to know the difference among three orientations of the auuthor and/or news agency by asking: Is this article a REPORT, an INFERENCE, or a JUDGMENT?
I look forward to visiting your site often.
The American media should worry, no one believes their propaganda anymore.
Truth-out.org is the same BS of the left wing media moguls and should not be on this list
the nation is like Fox
All news sources are "natural". We get what comes, but I agree that too much comes with biased interpretations such as the Washington Post's determination to see Trump lose even if Hillary is left standing alone and with all the power of the presidency. For years Time and Newsweek have been party mouthpieces, and most newspapers have editors chosen for their political views. Those views too often determine which Letters To The Editor are chosen for print. The Web is a potential source but runs the gammut from informed to nonsense. The individual is left to their own devices and their educational level may well determine how well they can inform themselves. Try finding the truth. It is out there somewhere.
I like the concept of this article. But I find a lot of your choices are just offering more opinion - certainly more diverse opinions, but the content is largely opinion, not factual. As an example, Globalresearch.ca - Sounds great, more research, Canadians maybe more level-headed and less self-absorbed than other nations, but what they serve up is 90% opinion. This is easier to write than to assemble data but really just increases the froth. Specific example: http://www.globalresearch.ca/nato-summit-closes-by... . Interesting opinions, sure.
So I challenge you, Gemini, to develop a metric to express how much factual content sources provide - easier than trying to express bias or lack thereof.
Don't get me wrong - I really laud this effort.
Truthout is extremely biased/liberal.
I like one-america news. Its the only place I can go and see stories about the good and bad in both candidates. Refreshing!!!
HBO's Last Week Tonight?
Wow - listened to the nation - if this is an example of unbiased reporting we are in deep trouble.
I think is a very good article but also strongly believe that Reese has a great point and totally agree with, we should focus more on the good things instead of supporting all the horror stories that are being shown on the news which only brings more bad news, seems like we are getting used to waking up every morning to read/watch how many people got killed today, what city is going down, who is making the new war, just to mention a few.
I am not saying is not good to know what is happening around us, but even if those sites are the more unbiased, they are still showing us what is selling "bad news".
When there's a shooting (which sadly is happening more often) all the news focus on the shooter, and give us a full biography of that person; which usually last all week hearing or seeing every single detail about the shooter life. For the elections, we see every day all the bad things each candidate has to say about the other candidate and a little is said about what they actually are going to do for us, and that is what is selling. The list can go on.
I do think is a good article and a good list of unbiased news, just wish we could stop supporting the bad news and start demanding a little more news of all the beautiful things that are happening around in our world.
rt.com and aljazeera.com news services - unbiased? Huh?
There was NEVER a`WHY` in true NEWs reporting.. That was on the `opinion` page.. Only `Who, What,When, Where and How!! 5 not 6 Lets get this correct!!
Unfortunately, we'll need to remove Arabic: Al Jazeera English U.S. (aljazeera.com) from the list as they have been shut down as of end of April
thanks so much for the lists. I'm getting ready to teach Current Events next year-- this should be a great help!
Sorry, but every suggested site is delivering the wrong message. First, most of them support specific paradigms of politics. That right there disqualifies them as being unbiased. They do so by either overt verbal support and/or by a preponderance of articles that focus in on one way of thinking.
But more damaging to all of society is the general rhetoric and selection of stories to write about. Over 90% of the articles written focus in on issues of discrimination and discord; as if nothing else is of any significance in this world. You can't bring people together when you can do nothing other than argue and complain. If you want people to come together - making real sacrifice for the well-being of others - these news sites need to turn their attention to the good things people engage in and those stories that demonstrate man's ability to work together in common good.
Sorry, these sites fail.
Add--One America News Network.
Hi Gemini,
You should also post the new documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad".
A lot of people I know call NPR National Pentagon Radio or National Propaganda Radio. They may do more in depth coverage on any particular news piece, but it cannot be trusted, particularly on issues of war and foreign policy. It should definitely not be on the list. At one time they were reliable, but that was a long time ago.
Hi Gemini -
The ProPublica link goes to .ord -- should go to propublica.org.
You can also add the below. All three have one major awards - pulitzer prizes, emmy awards amongst others, and are unbiased, nonprofit news organizations.
The Center for Investigative Reporting - revealnews.org
The Center for Public Integrity - publicintegrity.org
InsideClimate News - insideclimatenews.org
Real News and Truthout look promising, but I have to agree with whoucrappin about NPR and PBS. Those organizations, along with The Nation, are ridiculously biased to the Left. CSMonitor is definitely Right. I'll standby for a defensive Gemini Fox attack. ;-)
10+ Independent, Unbiased Online News Sources and Why America Needs More of Them
This is your title but evidently I missed the unbiased list of news sites. PBS and NPR are two of the most liberal organizations around! why is it liberals and conservatives have no understanding of the meaning of unbiased? It's incredible the ignorance that's pervading every corner of our country and also the world! And now I see this will only be posted if the author ok's it? nothing like only allowing those comments you like.

Lysite Wyoming
This is the railhead at Lysite, Wyoming, with photographs also including the J. B. Okie structure, built in 1919.
Lysite is a very small town, although it's seen some rejuvenation recently due to a major natural gas processing plant having been built just outside of town. It was originally, however, a local agricultural town and it is located quite near Okie's town of Lost Cabin. Okie had hoped the rail line would go through Lost Cabin, and was disappointed when it did not, but he obviously adjusted and had this structure built near the rail line. I don't know its original function, but as Okie was a major sheepman, I suspect it was for shipping wool. Okie had stores in Lysite, Lost Cabin and Arminto as well.
Today this is is a Burlington Northern line.

The Burlington Northern (CB&Q) in Sherdan, Wyoming
The brick structure is much later, and it bears a striking resemblance to the BN depot in Casper, Wyoming. Apparently Burlington Northern depots were built to a standard set of plans. This substantial depot is also no longer a BN depot, but is now a bar and grill in Sheridan.
Also depicted is a decommissioned BN locomotive, built in 1940.

|Primary Prom
Sure they will get the dress, make up and hair done but I will not go over board.
My middle daughter is due to attend her primary prom this year, her dress is bought, a pretty pale blue one that can be worn afterwards and won't remain redundant at the back of her wardrobe. I will do her hair and I may stretch to a bit of mascara. As for high school prom, looking at the figures I best start saving now.
Does anyone require a dress or helicopter ride review? Nope, raiding the piggy bank it is.
How much would you spend on your child's prom?
How much would you hope your parents would have spent had you attended prom? I would have had to do the old Cinderella trick.

Innovation, flair and creativity the stylish steps to success
INNOVATION is "almost beaten out" of schoolchildren and the workforce, a leading Irish-based academic has warned.
Damini Kumar, the inventor responsible for the first non-drip teapot spout and voted one of Cosmopolitan magazine's Top 100 Women, was critical of the failure of the learning system to nurture creativeness.
But Ms Kumar, a NUI Maynooth lecturer who specialises in design and creativity, also insisted there has been no slump in standards among college graduates, despite recent concerns raised by multinational bosses.
Her comments came just a day after the Government's innovation taskforce recommended the introduction of bonus points for Leaving Cert higher-level maths, in a bid to generate hi-tech jobs.
"You need to bring practical elements to every subject, even with the problem we are facing in Ireland with maths. If you made maths quite fun, quite practical, you would actually view maths in a totally different way," she said.
Ms Kumar, who was last year chosen as a European Commission Ambassador for Creativity and Innovation, highlighted the importance of a 'whole-brained' education system similar to Scandinavian countries.
"We are actually, I believe, born with creativity. Through the education system, through our work lives, it is almost beaten out of us and we don't use it to the point where we don't realise we have it any more," she told Microsoft employees in Sandyford, Dublin, in a talk about innovation and creativity.
She said the Government was taking a "serious" approach to job creation but still far more could be done.
Ms Kumar said the Innovation Task Force report launched on Thursday would help set the correct agenda -- but there was a need for much more collaboration between universities and industry.
Meanwhile, up-and-coming shoe designer Nina Divito spoke of her determination to succeed despite the recession.
The Dublin-born designer, who has Italian roots, has failed to buy in to the current trend of doom and gloom. Her next high-end collection will boast towering heels, jewelled plumage and luxurious leather.
At the Microsoft innovation talk, she described her journey since studying fine art in Dun Laoghaire 10 years ago.
She faced difficulties in trying to break into the luxury shoe market dominated by the likes of Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik.
And she told the audience she had been struck down by the debilitating Opsoclonus Myoclonus syndrome (OMS).
She still managed to display for buyers at the Paris Fashion week and launched her collection -- even as the illness at one stage left her unable to walk.

Great Fitment, Flows like its an OEM product
2003 Mercedes-Benz CL500
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I was hesitant due to the different style from the OEM look of the Camaro. After the easy installation, the look was off-the-chart better than imagine. The fit was tight, the look flowed perfect, and the receiver I purchased from Crutchfield was an exact match! The receiver, Sony XAV-AX100, does not have a CD option. With this the backside of the Sony receiver is half the thickness, so the wires that hung in the back tucked away nicely and "No" cutting required, per instructions. The A/C buttons all work out great, the adjustable lighting to match your dash "Great", all the little things are packed into this kit. One of the easiest installs, instructions were simple.
Pros: Fitment, Look, Function, After install you wonder why you didn't upgrade earlier from the factory.
Cons: The optional steering wheel control module is "not" easy as this kit...

Different Types Of Boating Accessories
Many of the boats meant for leisure and sports provide different options to which can be fitted with other accessories you want such as lean posts, seats and so on. These allow you to make the most of your boat while creating a more comfortable experience to everyone on board. A few of the marine accessories are manufactured to be able to make the boat safer too. All of these items if installed properly can increase the value of your boat.
Boats can use regular trims as these machines are frequently exposed to ever-changing weather conditions than typical conditions. With that said, marine upholstery that you are about to choose must endure harsh damage from elements similar to rain, marine environments and direct sun exposure. Say that you have used regular vinyl, it will likely deteriorate in a short time. It is recommended that you make investments in marine grade vinyl, which is specifically made to withstand harsh conditions. In addition to that, you've got the option of going for premade boat seats to make a boat seat of your own.
The foam is another essential part for any boat seat. There are some marine grade foams which come with an open cell structure to enable drainage and thus, prevent water retention. At the same time, this structure allows better air circulation. All these considerably help the foam to avoid accumulation and formation of mildew and mold as well as to let it dry faster. There are several other options available too like antimicrobial treatments that provide further protection to the seats and foam.
Learning The Secrets About Resources
Among the various kinds of accessories that are available for boating today, it is the leaning posts that are selling the most volumes primarily for the functional benefits added to the vessel. They're the perfect addition for center console boats but could be fitted as well in some other boats. Leaning posts can make your boat safer to ride due to the reason that it gives you and your passengers with a secure place to hold on while sailing through rough waters. This structure additionally comes in different shapes and sizes, which enable them to be easily fitted on different boats. You can even choose one that depends on your budget.
Short Course on Resources – What You Should Know
As what we have said earlier, there are countless of boating accessories that you can buy in the market which can add to the functionality of your vessel. And pedestals, models with back rests, cutting boards, cup holders, aluminum frames, road holders as well as coolers packed underneath neatly are just some good examples of it.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Installed and logged in with Desktop Google Reader today. Couldn't get any items to show at all from my Google Reader--all fields in the application were blank (see http://i.imgur.com/gTC4t.png ). I tried adding a feed I already had on Google Reader and
it said "Feed Added Successfully" with no change. I could add a feed I didn't have on Google Reader and it would then show upon both Google Reader and Desktop Google Reader, but all of my already-existing feeds are still not shown.
My operating system is 64-bit Windows Ultimate.
Disregard the above, I wasn't aware that Desktop Google Reader only allowed you to view feeds with Unread items in them. Might put that in the documentation. Anyway, looks good now, thanks for developing this application.
Yeah, I want to create an all new version / program which shall be able to not only show the unread items. But the basement of Desktop Google Reader is quite limited for this wish. Currently working much on Nymphicus
http://www.li-ghun.de/Nymphicus/ and by all the knowledge I got and still get from that I might start over with a fresh approach. Desktop Google Reader 1.x has been created to cover my own usecase and in fact
I don't have ever a look on my read items (if I do want to read them later I add them to Read It Later ;)).
When Nymphicus is done and the next release of Winslew
http://www.li-ghun.de/Winslew/ is out Google Reader might be a good target for me for a complete rewrite of everything from scratch ;)
Thanks for using ;)

Tony Lithur has dared Martin Amidu to report him to the General Legal Council if he has any adverse findings against him.
A former partner of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Mr Tony Lithur, has challenged Mr Martin Amidu to report him to the General Legal Council if he has any adverse findings against him.
"Martin Amidu, as a senior practitioner knows what to do if he has definite information of unethical conduct of the nature that he accuses me of. If he has any facts to support them, he should take them to the correct forum and he will receive an appropriate response," Mr Lithur stated in an interview with the Graphiconline in Accra on Wednesday.
"The doors of the General Legal Council are wide open to him should he wish to take opportunity of that forum. Damaging a fellow practitioner's reputation so publicly based on conjecture is much more unethical and quite irresponsible,"
Mr Lithur opined in reaction to Mr Amidu's allegations of complicity against his firm in connection with the GHc51.2 million Woyome saga.
Mr Amidu issued a statement to Graphiconline on Tuesday, March 17, 2015, in reaction to Mr Lithur's earlier interview to the Graphiconline where the latter had explained how his firm had had contact with Austro-Invest.
According to Mr Amidu, the Attorney-General deliberately left out the names of Austro-Invest and Mrs Betty Mould-Iddrisu, in her entry of judgement which sought to seek enforcement of the Supreme Court's July 29, 2014 order to Woyome to refund the money.
He had argued that because her firm had had dealings with Austro-Invest in the past, there was the likelihood of her showing open bias towards Woyome and treating Austro-Invest leniently.
"The point should be made very clear that Lithur Brew & Company did not act for Austro-Invest in relation to the actual claim or steps taken to claim any compensation from Government. We were not aware Austro-Invest had given Woyome power of attorney to claim monies from government and were not part and did not advice Austro-Invest or Woyome on any of the processes leading to the payment of monies to Woyome," Mr Lithur told the Graphiconline in the interview in Accra Wednesday.
"We were instructed by Austro-Invest only after monies had been paid to Woyome and he refused to pay Austro-Invest any part of it, on grounds that Austro-Invest did not play any particular role in the financial engineering based on which the claim and payment had been made.
The power of attorney given to Mr Woyome by Austro-Invest to pursue the claim with the Attorney General, the various steps that were taken by Woyome pursuant to that power, the meetings with government etc were all done without knowledge or advise from Lithur Brew," counsel stated in response to Mr Amidu's.

Hello Charles,
You should use Image control not the BitmapImage. You don't need more bindings in HierarchicalDataTemplate.
One small note - there is an improved version that I've attached in my last post. It has some more validations (mainly if the container is RadMenuItem not RadSeparator) and allows you to put RadSeparator in your datasource collection. I recommend to use it.
Thanks very much. That did it. I didn't use your new suggested code yet, but I will upgrade to that shortly.

Michael Gabriel's Birth
View Single Post
November 4th, 2012, 01:09 PM
Posts: n/a
Sorry it's taken me so long to get around to writing this!
During my pregnancy, I sought care from Rosemary Birthing Home. I am so glad that I had the experience of receiving care from midwives. They answered all my questions, and took extra time to talk with me and make me feel safe and comfortable. My appointments were always at least an hour long! I loved it. I had planned on having a natural water birth. Michael, however, had other plans.
We found out at about 34 weeks that Michael was breech. We tried everything: exercises, acupuncture, chiropractic, swimming, and finally an External Cephalic Version...and the little bugger still wouldn't turn.
So, at 39 weeks, we went to the hospital to have a C-Section.
The hospital we chose was AMAZING! I had the nicest nurses, and my doctor was so sweet and did such an amazing job. I was very nervous about everything, especially getting the catheter put in, but they assured me it wouldn't be put in until after I was numb. At first we just waited, put our hospital gear on, and they inserted my IV. I met the team, and before I knew it they were wheeling me to the operating room. I didn't like that hubby had to wait outside while I was getting the anesthesia...I would have preferred him being there. But it was okay. The spinal shot was extremely painful for me, and I was terrified, so I was crying a lot. When I laid down, a nurse stayed with me and kept drying my tears. Finally DH was allowed in, and held my hand and talked to me. At one point I looked up at the nurse and said "Have they cut me yet?" and she said "Honey, they've BEEN cutting you." At that point I was so relieved to realize that I REALLY couldn't feel anything! so I stopped crying after that. I am kind of glad I cried though, because my nose was too stuffed up to smell the burning smell from the C-Section.
I remember laughing when they told me my son was coming out butt first! And then crying again when he came out and started screaming bloody murder! I was crying tears of joy, though :-) DH got to go over and watch them clean him off, and he cut the cord :-) He was crying too! They pulled back the sheet a little bit so I could see my baby wiggling on the warmer. Then they wrapped him up like a burrito and brought him to me, and I got to hold my baby for the first time. He was so beautiful. We got our first family photo right then :-) And the footprints in the baby book :-)
The rest of my stay in the hospital was great. I was very sore, bleeding a lot, and tired, but I was so happy to have my baby :-) My family came to visit, and learning to breast feed was hard, but worth it. I was very determined to breast feed! They let me go home on Sunday when I had given birth on Friday, and the first thing we did was go to Chilis! lol and then Wal-Mart to get my percoset and my birth control. Poor kid went to walmart before he went home!
When I got home, for the first few days I cried tears of joy whenever I looked at him. I was so blissfully happy. But at his one-week date, all of a sudden, I was crying all the time, inconsolable. Breast feeding was not going well, he was not getting enough to eat, and he was not sleeping. So we weren't sleeping. Cloth diapering sucked, and I was feeling depressed because nothing was going the way I thought it would.
My midwives actually, without meaning to, made this much harder for me. I went to talk to a doctor about getting back on Prozac to balance myself out (I had been on it before I was pregnant) but they and the midwives told me I couldn't breast feed. I was not liking breast feeding much, but I felt I had to keep doing it due to pressure from friends and the midwives. Any time I talked about formula the midwives had a lecture. The pediatrician told me I could still breast feed on the low dosage I was taking, so I was happy for a moment, until he kept me up all that night wanting to feed constantly and never getting enough. Finally my DH and I decided to forget about everyone else's opinions and do what was right for us.
So we stopped cloth diapering, and switched to regular diapers. We stopped breast feeding, and switched to formula with Playtex VentAire bottles. We are now happy, well-fed, and getting enough sleep at night, and we couldn't be happier. And now that I am no longer covered by Medicaid and can't afford any post-partum appointments, I hear nothing from the Midwives who "cared so much about me and my well-being." Next time we will be getting all our care from an OB associated with the hospital we were so impressed with.
I love my baby boy, and i'm still a nervous new mommy, afraid to be alone with him, lol. But DH is the best hubby/daddy ever, helps me SO much, and I am so in love with my family :-)

Stamps released for Olympics
Royal Mail has unveiled new stamps to mark the 2012 Olympics. The "definitive" or everyday stamps, available from all 11,800 Post Office branches, go on sale on January 5. It is the first time a logo has been on a definitive stamp, which usually bears only an image of the Queen.
As with all Royal Mail stamps, the Queen's image will be present, this time in the top right-hand corner for 1st-class stamps, and the top left-hand corner for overseas stamps.
Two versions of the stamp books are available, one containing the key dates in the countdown to the Games, the other with a quote from Lord Coe, chairman of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

text: John255 6 Report post Posted March 26, 2013 One day when I was feeling square I made a squarish mug. Since this was a new shape I had no plan of what decoration, or how it was to be glazed. So I thought about taking a photo of the bisque piece and discover experimental designs using a simple drawing app on the computer. Apps like Paint Brush for Mac, or Microsoft Paint that comes with Windows will do. I will choose one of the designs for a prototype and use Mayco Coat & Stroke as underglaze on the #130 porcelain. Then glaze overall with John's clear, and fire to cone 6 . Previous test show this works well. See attached. John255 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thermal management has emerged as an increasingly important aspect of IC design. Elevated die temperatures are detrimental to circuit performance and reliability. Furthermore, hot spots due to spatially nonuniform heat flux in ICs can cause physical stress that further reduces reliability. The authors of this article review various chip-cooling techniques that have been proposed in the literature. They then present an alternative approach based on a recently invented digital-microfluidic platform that enables an adaptive cooling technique. This novel digital-fluid-handling platform uses a phenomenon known as electrowetting so that a vast array of discrete droplets of liquid, ranging from microliters to nanoliters and potentially to picoliters, can be independently moved along a substrate. Although this technology was originally developed for a biological and chemical lab on a chip, the authors show how it can be adapted for use as a fully reconfigurable, adaptive cooling platform.

Mercy Housing Begins Construction on KTGY-designed Bluff Lake Apartment Homes in Denver
Construction has begun on Bluff Lake Apartment Homes, a new $11.5 million high-quality, eco-friendly residential community in Denver for 92 families earning between 30% - 50% of AMI, slated to open by spring 2012.
Designed by KTGY Group, Mercy Housing's Bluff Lake Apartment Homes will offer 92 thoughtfully-
According to Denver's Road Home organization, the most commonly reported reasons for homelessness in the Denver area are loss of a job (35 percent), housing costs (31 percent), and the breakup of a family (20 percent); 60 percent of the homeless in Denver are people in families with children. Mercy Housing and KTGY intend to counter these statistics by providing a stable, service-enriched home for residents of Bluff Lake Apartment Homes.
"Mercy Housing is committed to developing affordable, program-enriched housing for low-income families, seniors and people with special needs who lack the economic resources to access quality, safe housing opportunities,"
Bluff Lake Apartment Homes will feature a spacious community room for larger resident meetings and after-school programming and daycare services, a computer lab, a fully-equipped kitchen, smaller group meeting spaces, landscaped courtyard areas, a 3,000-square-
Convenient to employment, shopping, services, parks and recreation, Bluff Lake Apartment Homes is approximately 10 minutes from Downtown Denver. There is also a new light rail line planned along the I-70 corridor. Within walking distance from the site is a new community center, the Sandcreek Regional Greenway, and Bluff Lake with its system of walking trails.
"Bluff Lake Apartment Homes' design is modern contemporary and the location's urban context provides easy access to the greater Stapleton community with the single-family neighborhood to the west," said KTGY's Principal Michael Ohara, AIA and the designer of Bluff Lake Apartment Homes. "The apartment community's surface parking on the east side of the site provides a buffer from a busy north/south arterial street."
Ohara continues, "Oftentimes, when residents hear the words 'affordable housing,' they immediately envision substandard housing and an owner that doesn't care about the property or its residents or neighbors. This is certainly not the case with Mercy Housing, one of the top affordable housing developers in the nation. Mercy Housing is known for their quality and dedication to creating and preserving affordable housing for those with the fewest options."
Bluff Lake Apartment Homes' attractive, sustainable design, cohesive layout and high quality residential living encourage healthy living and a sense of community among the residents. "The placement of shared spaces such as the community center, lobby, and courtyard elevate the importance of onsite resident services and social interaction and increase resident satisfaction,"
Some of the eco-friendly design features include ENERGY STAR rated appliances and energy-efficient lighting; water-saving fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms; dual flush toilets; tankless water heaters; the use of low-VOC paints, adhesives and finishes, and low dust stucco; building materials that contain recycled content and do not emit harmful chemicals; and low water landscaping. A high percentage of the construction waste will be recycled. Catamount Constructors, Inc. in Evergreen, Co. is the general contractor.
"We are pleased to be partnering with KTGY to develop affordable housing for families desperately in need of safe and quality homes," said Erixon. "Bluff Lake Apartments will provide our residents the opportunity to stabilize their lives and focus on building a brighter future for themselves and their families."
This will be Mercy Housing's second affordable housing development in the Stapleton community. In 2005, Mercy Housing opened Parkside Apartments in Stapleton, which provides 68 affordable homes. The organization currently owns and manages over 16,000 units of housing nationwide. including the Denver area, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Fraser and Durango.

ATD Circuit for Asynchronous RAM
Synchronous design and Asynchronous design are two different types of memory designs. The synchronous design has to suffer from problems such as clock skew, power consumption, synchronization with the external inputs etc. However, an asynchronous memory design responds immediately to any change in any address signal information even if it is due to noise. Thus, it may respond to wrong/unintended address changes and may lead to undesired operations. Address Transition Detection (ATD) circuit provide effective check on this problem by generating a pulse when address information is changed and for that period, the internal circuit of the memory is kept in non-operating mode.

Seems to me the trouble is "Merit Badge Program". Sounds like your son is attending Merit Badge "classes" - doing that will suck the fun out of any merit badge.
Merit Badges were designed to be done individually, with individual counselors (those these days, up to two people working together is de-riguer). They were not designed to be done in a group, classroom setting - not at summer camp, not at merit badge universities, not at merit badge programs, not at Troop meetings. It's way beyond time to go back to doing it the old-fashioned way - a Scout chooses a merit badge he's interested in, contacts the counselor, does the work, and reviews it with the counselor. Not this scout goes to a class with 20 other Scouts and sits through 3 hours of lecture. Individual attention can work at summer camp too - a Counselor may have 10 scouts for fishing merit badge and might hold "office hours" at a set time to meet, but the Scouts still would do the work individually.
Almost all scouts earn MBs these days through some form of class or lecture. I agree with your ideal. I just don't see that as how almost 99% of the MBs are earned.
The only time I've been contacted to work one on one is after the scout is all done and needs signatures. IMHO, that also defeats the program. It's supposed to be about mentorship.
