The Clear Guide to Online Business Step Seven in Developing a Web SiteBy Virginia Lawrence After deciding on your goal and your target market, you have written the text to attract that group of site visitors. Now it's time to actually start designing the site. Step 7. Site Navigation The navigation should be very clear. No site visitor wants to spend time trying to figure out how to get from the front page to the order page. Link Location The main navigation links should be in a row high up on the page, or in a left-hand column. That's where people expect to find the navigation links. Yes, if you're a great designer, and you want to show off your skills, you can put the navigation links elsewhere. Link location should be a conscious decision. As usual, consider the target market. If your site is aimed at showcasing and selling books, you want to have links in one of the simplest locations, near the top or left side of the page. Link Consistency You should have the major navigation links on every page. When you keep the page navigation consistent, you make site visitors comfortable. They know that they can always get back to the first page or find any other page when they need it. Text Links You need at least one set of links that are simply text links. The search engines need these links, and people who roam the Web with graphics turned off need these links. Also, they are helpful for disabled people using site readers. Text links are perfectly acceptable as the main navigation links for a site. Graphic Links If you want a jazzier set of links, use small graphics for your main navigation links. When you're using graphic links, place the text links at the bottom of the page and place the graphic links in a row near the top or in a column on the left side. If you have a small site, you can simply have one navigation button for each page. That makes navigation very simple and clear. For a larger site, you can have a navigation button for each major section of the site. Then the first page of each section will have links to the other pages in that section. Use a Site Map for a Large Site For a large site, you should add a site map page and have a button leading to that page. A site map can be as simple as a list of links by topic, or it can be a cool list of main topics where visitors click on the list to display each set of subtopics. The site map makes it easier for someone to find a page deep within your site without blindly following a series of links to get there. Good site navigation is critical to your site visitor's experience. You want to make it really easy for the site visitor to move around in the site so that he can help you reach your goal.

Pad-Dock iPhone to Tablet Converter Promises to Make Your iPhone an iPad
For any writer of tech, April 1 is a day of reckoning. This is the day when you never know if that cool item you see on another site or online is real or if it's a fake put there to be believable enough to trick consumers into trying to buy and writers into covering it.
I ran across this Pad-dock iPhone to Tablet converter today and knew right away that it had to be a fake. Click on the buy link and my suspicions were confirmed. The thing claimed to be able to dock your iPhone in the back and show the screen on the larger dock LCD on the front.
This is actually an interesting product idea, and I bet many folks will click it and try to buy it today. I guess if you really want a larger screen for your iPhone, you could always buy a magnifying glass.

Comments (1):
….that much for a magnifying glass?
The iPad allows you to use the touchscreen….this DOES NOT.
Although it is not stated that it can – but it is implied – makes it a scam in my humble view…

I did online researches and asked my ob about the benefits of post baby wrapping. It seems the cinch tummy wrap is the best because it is fully adjustable and it helps with stomach, back and hip also.
I received the cinch for my baby shower and have been using if for the past eight weeks. Not only I am down to my pre-baby size, I feel my stomach has toned and my back feels supported also.
I did not experience any of the postpartum problems like my friends who did not use a postpartum wrap had. This product is the best thing ever for new moms. I would highly recommend it to all new moms.

"This sounds like my type of recipe. When I saw that you added white sauce it brought back a memory. My mom would cream a can of peas and we would pour that over the patty and our mashed potatoes, too. This sounds better then my version tonight."
"A friend served these at coffee this morning. She said she used 2 sticks butter or margerine and 1 Cup Brown Sugar. Then sprinkled them with chocolate chips and pecans. I loved these darn things - had two - and they are so simple."
"I just made this recipe and eating one each morning. They are sooo good - love them and will be making many in the future. I used 1/2 C. honey instead of part syrup. It only makes a few - I think I got 11 out of a batch - Baked them at 350 F. - 16 min."

Love the figment pic
How did you get so into Origami?
The stuff looks very cool!
Hey guys, found this forum early this morning and I'm already in love! I can't wait to read people's stories and add my own. I've been going to WDW since I was a kid in NC (my parents love it and always took us). Now that I live in Florida, I'm in heaven b/c it takes me an hour to get there! Yay! Here are some favorite pics of me. Feel free to chat me up about Disney stuff on YIM or email me. If you are interested in seeing/purchasing any great origami gifts please email firstname.lastname@example.com. I'm not trying to make a load of money, I just have a lot of cool items that I want to share with the world! I hope to make some great online friends here.

Thanks, figment is my all time fave. I still refuse to ride the new imagination ride in protest. I tend to pick up arty hobbies and try them out only to lose interest quickly...but I got an origami book from the library about 10 years ago (in high school) and never lost interest! Thanks for the compliment.Originally Posted by crashbunny
Figment is climbing the side of our treadmill right now. I love him too. I like even the little bit he is in the new JIYI but, I am with you, the original rocked!Originally Posted by miakoda
I do the same with new artistic endeavors. I have also done some origami but nothing as nice as yours. (Mine never got past notebook paper).
You do beautiful work!

Welcome to the site! I am in awe of anyone with a creative talent! See you around the threads!
I am in need of some Disney magic!!
to the DWT family! Hope you enjoy yourself!
Thanks very much! You should get some origami paper and a book from the library and try it out, it's easy once you get used to what the diagrams are trying to tell you to do. Paper can be bought pretty cheap, I get all mine on Ebay from seller Thepixiegirl, she has good deals, good paper, fast delivery! You may not care I just love origami and think its a great hobby everyone can enjoy. I just wish someone would come out with a Disney origami book! I would love to be able to make Disney characters! lol. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes!Originally Posted by MickeyBabe
Welcome to DWT! Figment is one of my all time fave characters (and will be represented in the soon-to-be Baby Yensid room!). The current version of the ride is much better than what they had a couple years ago. But both are nowhere near as good as the original!!!

Welcome to the board Selena! I'm new here too, as new as today in fact. I've grown up in NC and lived here my whole life. And not only do we have that in common, but I also LOVED the old Journey into Imagination ride with The Dreamfinder and the real Figment, as well as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. And I also have that same Skippy stuffed animal that I got when I first saw Alien Encounter. I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts and getting to know another artistic individual.Originally Posted by miakoda
Welcome Selena, everyone here is great ( as I am sure you have seen already). Have fun, have a sense of humour and "see" you on chat nights Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This is kinda a late post, but I got plenty of request for a tutorial on this look!
I wore it to work one night and it made an appearance on a vlog. It's actually really simple.
I used a deep purple shimmer color from the BH Cosmetics 4th edition palette. I did a simple smokey eye with that one color. Over the iris of my eye is a loose pigment from INGLOT. I really don't feel like getting up from my computer to see what number it is, but its got a similar finish to MACs CLUB eyeshadow! Except the finish is just so much more vibrant and more of a lime green/yellow! If that makes any sense. LOL
I will be doing a tutorial for this look very soon! I just wanted to give some still of the look to let you see close up! Maybe you could do this look already with the skinny I gave. This look can be accomplished with any color really! The more shimmer and vibrant the center color, the better in my opinion. This type of look is great for those really bright and obnoxious eyeshadows you have sitting there that you feel like you can't use! This technique is very subtle! So give it a try! You can also use a fine glitter on top of it!
Make sure to send me pictures to my Facebook fan page!

Hi all I've posted in the past that I was looking for some seeds from various flowering Gingers or Rhizomes and have been able to get a few of Rhizomes, I donated them to a tropical flower bed that I made for a person who has cancer. So I'm pretty much back to looking for some seeds of various Ginger species for myself. The reason why I want seeds is that I'm disabled and living on a fixed income and can't afford to buy or pay the postage on Rhizomes. I have some Passiflora foetida vines that I could trade, sorry but I don't know what color the flowers are, they will be blooming in a couple of weeks and then I'll know. Also I have various perennial Hibiscus seeds that I could trade and if you like some very rare Bolivian pepper seeds.
If anyone can help me out I would be very greatful. Please feel free to email me at my Yahoo address. Thank you and have a great season. George W. Z5 Mo. |
Follow-Up Postings:
George, the only gingers I have that make seeds that can actually be collected are hedychiums, and they don't set seed til what would be the late fall/early winter in your locale. I don't know how fresh they have to be to sprout. We usually bury them immediately and they come up in spring if they are going to. And if the squirrels and armadillos don't get them first. |
Hello bihai, you have quite a impressive list of plants that you are growing. It doesn't look like I have anything you want though. I am drooling over all the diferent Ginger varieties that you are growing. Your place must be very beautiful when everything is in bloom, Maybe we could work something out for a Rhizome or two at some point. My finances are very limited, but I really would like to get a few plants going. I have a protected area that is south facing that stays quite warm in the winter. Also I can plant them in large containers and bring them in. George W. Z5 Mo |

"Show Vesa Some Love Challenge"
January 30, 2014
During the month of February, Averett is looking for a few good men and women – 100 to be exact – who will make a gift in any amount to the "Show Vesa Some Love Challenge." The challenge was created by alumnus Rick Roccesano '81, who wanted to change the misconception that small gifts to the University's capital campaign don't make an impact. In his challenge, Roccesano is encouraging alumni, faculty, staff and friends to make a contribution in any amount toward the Vesa Hiltunen Tennis Complex. It is his hope that people will join together to help honor Hiltunen. Hiltunen served as the University's director of athletics for many years as well as coached several sports, including tennis. If the goal is reached, Roccesano will make a $25,000 contribution to support the $1.5 million project. All donors to the new tennis complex will be recognized on a plaque at the new facility. "I know there is a lot of love out there for Vesa, and the impact he has had on various members of the Averett family," Roccesano said. "It is time to step up and 'Show Vesa Some Love' and honor him, while leaving a legacy of our own." The new tennis complex will be built at the University's North Campus and will feature lighted courts, public restrooms, stands for spectators and locker areas for teams. Access will be granted to the public when not in use by the tennis programs. For more information about this special campaign, or if you and some friends are interested in sponsoring a court or even matching Roccesano's challenge, call Sam Ferguson '97, director of annual giving programs, at 434-791-7112, or visit www.averett.edu/showvesalove.

"This makes a very moist, not-too-sweet loaf! Perfect for dinner, a bit too crumbly for toast. I substituted a small fresh pear for the dried and fiddled with the flour to account for the extra liquid during the kneading cycles. This is a winner!"
"Lovely! I wanted a fast and easy soup that didn't require roasting the peppers. This is perfect!! Delicious and satisfying. Thanks!"
"Fabulous! I was looking for a "crumble" recipe to use up 2 quarts of raspberries and found this recipe. Thanks to previous posters, I understood it would be runny when warm and then thicken as it cooled. We had it warm, anyway! With vanilla ice cream! :-) This is a definite keeper. Thanks!"
"NOTE: Step one in the recipe mentions butter twice. I found this a little confusing even though it's probably just a simple typo. I made this recipe the other night for dessert, using 5 large apples (mixed variety, cored, peeled and chopped) that needed using up. Added a teaspoon of cinnamon and served it with vanilla ice cream. It was ve..."

A while back I wrote a blog post about about how I was experiencing daily symptoms of brain fog. You can read it HERE. Over the last couple months I've been experiencing extreme fatigue in the afternoon hours, horrible air allergies, poor sleeping habits and decreased strength and stamina in the gym. A lot of this stems from when I got severely sick last October but even though my stomach is better, the other issues have been causing all sorts of problems. I've tried medication (which I normally don't like doing), local honey and sleep medication. The medication worked for a little while, I never really gave the honey time to work and the sleep medication helped a ton but after four months I started experiencing vivid dreams and the side effect of fatigue the following day. I stopped taking those about three weeks ago.
Last week I met with the owners of Nutra Summa who asked for a meeting with me in regards to a discussion about their gluten-free products. We had a great meeting and I also toured their lab in Phoenix where I was extremely impressed with how they test for heavy metals and gluten. I feel extremely comfortable with their products because of how important they consider food allergies. During the tour they highlighted where they test for gluten, the employees knowledge and quality control to prevent possible cross-contamination.
After the tour we sat down and talked about my concerns. So they gave me product to help with fatigue, brain fog, allergies, sleeping and strength/muscle recovery. They told me that it would take about 2-3 weeks to really start working but I have to say I'm impressed with what I'm seeing in the first 5 days. Here's a summary of the products that I'm taking:
- Amino Clear – Amino Acid Supplement…Recover during your workout, not after
- Dragon's Blood Herbal Supplement…Supports balanced blood flow for cardiovascular health
- Summa Lean – Metabolic Support…Helps mobilize stored fat so it can be used as fuel
- Pea Protein – Dietary Supplement…Complete protein from 100% vegan sources
- ZMA Plus – Zinc, Magnesium and B6 Support…Increases muscle strength
- Digest Complex – Dietary Supplement…Support digestive health
After the first 5 days I've had no afternoon fatigue, no need for naps, no brain fog and my energy and mental clarity is much improved. I've also noticed increased strength in the gym that I started losing last October. Most importantly, I've been able to shut my brain off at night and sleep a minimum of 6 hours straight without waking up. As stated earlier Nutra Summa said I wouldn't really start feeling the ultimate effects for 2-3 weeks so I will be writing another post at that time with my findings. Also, I was on the phone with them today and they will be sending me a product to help out with my air allergies as well.
I'm extremely excited about how I'm feeling and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the next couple of weeks. If you have any questions about the products please comment on the post and I will do my best to answer your questions.
Stay Healthy!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the factory and was so incredibly shocked to learn about all the precautions they take to go above and beyond required standards for nutritional safety and quality. The additional heavy metal testing is rarely, if ever, done by any nutraceutical companies in the US and it is a breath of fresh air to know they are doing that. Being that I have to go through chelation to eliminate heavy metals and toxins from my blood it counteracts my efforts to take any supplements that contain them!
It's great to know you have already felt some positive side effects from the products. I can't wait to be able to introduce them to the Bent But Not Broken audience as well along with my comments on how the products have affected me. -
This is very interesting information, Ken! Thanks for sharing. I haven't heard of Nutra Summa before but after reading this post I'm interested to learn more. I've been having issues with brain fog, fatigue and horrible air allergies. I take some supplements that have helped in the past, but recently there's been no relief. I will have to look into this company more! Thanks as always for your guidance!
I'm so excited to hear about your success with these supplements. I'm looking for something to helpe with brain fog and overall energy levels. I love that they are here in Phoenix! It's so hard to know for sure, especially with vitamins, whether they are truly gluten-free. Thank you for your due diligence and bringing us the knowledge on this quality product! I'm sharing your blog today on my Facebook page….. Thanks again.

Great information! Also, good to know that it's right here in Phoenix!!!!
This sounds promising. Although it has been just two years since I finished up with my chemo treatments for breast cancer, I still experience chemo-brain, which sound much like your symptoms. I will have to look into this supplement to see if it would be a good fit for me.
Hey Ken!
Thanks for sharing! It's good to know that you really have a passion for what you do, and what you believe in. Most people would just go to their family doctor and ask for a prescription. You actually are trying to dig and dig until you can find the correct solutions to treat the issues that you had/have.
Also, it's great to see that there's a local company that cares just as much to helping those with similar symptoms.
I look forward to your update at the end of this trial run with these products.
What would be good for high blood sugar sleep problems also,and protein supplements trying to loose weight but I have severe arthritis so I don't workout.

The Department of English at UNO uses a placement exam, the EPPE, to place students into the proper level of first-year composition. The English Department does not use ACT or SAT composite scores or subscores for placement into its composition courses nor does it accept other placement examinations from other institutions.
The following students need to take the EPPE: all undergraduate students who are first-time freshmen, all international students, including some applying for graduate studies (students in this situation should check with advisors), and undergraduate transfer students not transferring equivalent composition courses into UNO. Students transferring in college composition credit deemed as equivalent to those classes at UNO or students presenting a 3, 4, or 5 on either Advanced Placement exams in English need NOT take the EPPE. (See Retroactive Credit Policy on this page's "hot box.")
Placements are emailed or available for viewing within approximately 10 business days or less (excluding weekends and holidays) from the test date.
GOODRICH APPLICANTS: If you are applying for the Goodrich Scholarship Program, you must take the EPPE, regardless of any other college credit you may be transferring in or taking at UNO (AP credit, dual enrollment credit, transfer credit). Note: you do not need to retake the EPPE if you have taken it within the past two years. If you have not received your placement results, contact the Goodrich Program before contacting the English Department office, even if you have not been accepted into the Goodrich program or your acceptance is pending. The Goodrich Program can be reached at 554-2274. International students may also experience a delay in results. Goodrich applicants' EPPE results may take longer than 10 days to post.
Students transferring courses equivalent to UNO's Composition I or Composition I and II from UNL, UNK, Nebraska State Colleges, or Nebraska community colleges (with grades of C or better) do not need to take the EPPE.
Students transferring courses equivalent to UNO's Composition I or Composition I and II (with grades of C or better) that were earned at other accredited American community colleges, colleges, or universities (including equivalent credit earned in dual enrollment programs), may not need to take the EPPE. Students should check with their academic advisors or call the English Department at 402-554-3476 for specific equivalency questions.
International students please note: English composition courses earned at foreign universities are NOT considered equivalent to UNO's composition sequence; exceptions to this may be courses deemed equivalent from baccalaureate programs from English speaking countries or provinces (England, English speaking Canada, Australia, etc.).
Students may take the EPPE twice in a calendar year. EPPE results are valid indefinitely. Please note: currently, Mavlink does not necessarily "see" a student's highest placement result. If this is the case, students should please contact the English Department at 402-554-3476.

Sania Mirza Enters Doubles World Top Ten
September 19, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
India's Sania Mirza on Monday cracked the top 10 in the women's doubles tennis rankings. Her singles rankings, however, slipped 17 places to 81. The top Indian women's player, who is nursing a knee injury, climbed a rung to the 10th position in the new Women's Tennis Association (WTA) doubles rankings.
"Woke up to find out I cracked the top 10 in the world… thanks each and everyone of u for the support and love all these years." Sania wrote on her twitter account. "Needed some good news to lift up spirits after this silly knee injury…hope to recover soon….
Mirza, and her Russian doubles partner Elena Vesnina lost in the third round of the U.S. Open last week. The pair had won two doubles championships this year, in addition to reaching the finals of the French Open. Mirza and Vesnina are ranked number four in the world as a women's doubles team. Mirza also won an additional women's doubles title last month with Kazakhstani partner Yaroslava Shvedova.
The top four women's doubles teams will compete in the WTA end-of-year championships. However, Mirza's knee injury may keep her out of action through the end of the year, which would force Mirza and Vesnina to give up their spot in that elite tournament.
We Need a Hippocratic Oath for Journalists
July 21, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By George Monbiot
Is Murdoch now finished in the UK? As the pursuit of Gordon Brown by the Sunday Times and the Sun blows the hacking scandal into new corners of the old man's empire, this story begins to feel like the crumbling of the Berlin Wall. The naked attempt to destroy Brown by any means, including hacking the medical files of his sick baby son, means that there is no obvious limit to the story's ramifications.
The scandal radically changes public perceptions of how politics works, the danger corporate power presents to democracy, and the extent to which it has compromised and corrupted the Metropolitan police, who have now been dragged in so deep they are beginning to look like Murdoch's private army. It has electrified a dozy parliament and subjected the least accountable and most corrupt profession in Britain – journalism – to belated public scrutiny.
The cracks are appearing in the most unexpected places. Look at the remarkable admission by the rightwing columnist Janet Daley in this week's Sunday Telegraph. "British political journalism is basically a club to which politicians and journalists both belong," she wrote. "It is this familiarity, this intimacy, this set of shared assumptions … which is the real corruptor of political life. The self-limiting spectrum of what can and cannot be said … the self-reinforcing cowardice which takes for granted that certain vested interests are too powerful to be worth confronting. All of these things are constant dangers in the political life of any democracy."
Most national journalists are embedded, immersed in the society, beliefs and culture of the people they are meant to hold to account.
They are fascinated by power struggles among the elite but have little interest in the conflict between the elite and those they dominate.
They celebrate those with agency and ignore those without.
But this is just part of the problem. Daley stopped short of naming the most persuasive force: the interests of the owner and the corporate class to which he belongs. The proprietor appoints editors in his own image – who impress their views on their staff. Murdoch's editors, like those who work for the other proprietors, insist that they think and act independently.
It's a lie exposed by the concurrence of their views (did all 247 News Corp editors just happen to support the invasion of Iraq?), and blown out of the water by Andrew Neil's explosive testimony in 2008 before the Lords select committee on communications.
The papers cannot announce that their purpose is to ventriloquise the concerns of multimillionaires; they must present themselves as the voice of the people. The Sun, the Mail and the Express claim to represent the interests of the working man and woman. These interests turn out to be identical to those of the men who own the papers.
So the rightwing papers run endless exposures of benefit cheats, yet say scarcely a word about the corporate tax cheats. They savage the trade unions and excoriate the BBC. They lambast the regulations that restrain corporate power. They school us in the extrinsic values – the worship of power, money, image and fame – which advertisers love but which make this a shallower, more selfish country. Most of them deceive their readers about the causes of climate change. These are not the obsessions of working people. They are the obsessions thrust upon them by the multimillionaires who own these papers.
The corporate media is a gigantic astroturfing operation: a fake grassroots crusade serving elite interests. In this respect the media companies resemble the Tea Party movement, which claims to be a spontaneous rising of blue-collar Americans against the elite but was founded with the help of the billionaire Koch brothers and promoted by Murdoch's Fox News.
Journalism's primary purpose is to hold power to account. This purpose has been perfectly inverted. Columnists and bloggers are employed as the enforcers of corporate power, denouncing people who criticise its interests, stamping on new ideas, bullying the powerless. The press barons allowed governments occasionally to promote the interests of the poor, but never to hamper the interests of the rich. They also sought to discipline the rest of the media. The BBC, over the last 30 years, became a shadow of the gutsy broadcaster it was, and now treats big business with cringing deference. Every morning at 6.15, the Today programme's business report grants executives the kind of unchallenged access of an unprecedented level. The rest of the programme seeks out controversy and sets up discussions between opponents, but these people are not confronted by their critics.
So what can be done? Because of the peculiar threat they present to democracy there's a case to be made for breaking up all majority interests in media companies, and for a board of governors, appointed perhaps by Commons committee, to act as a counterweight to the shareholders' business interests.
But even if that's a workable idea, it's a long way off. For now, the best hope might be to mobilise readers to demand that journalists answer to them, not just their proprietors. One means of doing this is to lobby journalists to commit themselves to a kind of Hippocratic oath. Here's a rough stab at a first draft. I hope others can improve it. Ideally, I'd like to see the National Union of Journalists building on it and encouraging its members to sign.
'Our primary task is to hold power to account. We will prioritise those stories and issues which expose the interests of power. We will be wary of the relationships we form with the rich and powerful, and ensure that we don't become embedded in their society. We will not curry favour with politicians, businesses or other dominant groups by withholding scrutiny of their affairs, or twisting a story to suit their interests.
"We will stand up to the interests of the businesses we work for, and the advertisers which fund them. We will never take money for promulgating a particular opinion, and we will resist attempts to oblige us to adopt one.
"We will recognise and understand the power we wield and how it originates. We will challenge ourselves and our perception of the world as much as we challenge other people. When we turn out to be wrong, we will say so."
I accept that this doesn't directly address the power relations that govern the papers. But it might help journalists to assert a measure of independence, and readers to hold them to it. Just as voters should lobby their MPs to represent them and not just the whips, readers should seek to drag journalists away from the demands of their editors.
The oath is one possible tool that could enhance reader power.
If you don't like it, suggest a better idea. Something has to change: never again should a half a dozen oligarchs be allowed to dominate and corrupt the life of this country.

Gone With the Papers-the-Death-of-Journalism
June 30, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Chris Hedges
I visited the Hartford Courant as a high school student. It was the first time I was in a newsroom. The Connecticut paper's newsroom, the size of a city block, was packed with rows of metal desks, most piled high with newspapers and notebooks. Reporters banged furiously on heavy typewriters set amid tangled phone cords, overflowing ashtrays, dirty coffee mugs and stacks of paper, many of which were in sloping piles on the floor. The din and clamor, the incessantly ringing phones, the haze of cigarette and cigar smoke that lay over the feverish hive, the hoarse shouts, the bustle and movement of reporters, most in disheveled coats and ties, made it seem an exotic, living organism. I was infatuated. I dreamed of entering this fraternity, which I eventually did, for more than two decades writing for The Dallas Morning News, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor and, finally, The New York Times, where I spent most of my career as a foreign correspondent.
Newsrooms today are anemic and forlorn wastelands. I was recently in the newsroom at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and patches of the floor, also the size of a city block, were open space or given over to rows of empty desks. These institutions are going the way of the massive rotary presses that lurked like undersea monsters in the bowels of newspaper buildings, roaring to life at night. The heavily oiled behemoths, the ones that spat out sheets of newsprint at lightning speed, once empowered and enriched newspaper publishers who for a few lucrative decades held a monopoly on connecting sellers with buyers. Now that that monopoly is gone, now that the sellers no long need newsprint to reach buyers, the fortunes of newspapers are declining as fast as the page counts of daily news sheets.
The great newspapers sustained legendary reporters such as I.F. Stone, Murray Kempton and Homer Bigart who wrote stories that brought down embezzlers, cheats, crooks and liars, who covered wars and conflicts, who told us about famines in Africa and the peculiarities of the French or what it was like to be poor and forgotten in our urban slums or Appalachia. These presses churned out raw lists of data, from sports scores to stock prices. Newspapers took us into parts of the city or the world we would never otherwise have seen or visited. Reporters and critics reviewed movies, books, dance, theater and music and covered sporting events. Newspapers printed the text of presidential addresses, sent reporters to chronicle the inner workings of City Hall and followed the courts and the police. Photographers and reporters raced to cover the lurid and the macabre, from Mafia hits to crimes of passion.
We are losing a peculiar culture and an ethic. This loss is impoverishing our civil discourse and leaving us less and less connected to the city, the nation and the world around us. The death of newsprint represents the end of an era. And news gathering will not be replaced by the Internet. Journalism, at least on the large scale of old newsrooms, is no longer commercially viable. Reporting is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It requires going out and talking to people. It means doing this every day. It means looking constantly for sources, tips, leads, documents, informants, whistle-blowers, new facts and information, untold stories and news. Reporters often spend days finding little or nothing of significance. The work can be tedious and is expensive. And as the budgets of large metropolitan dailies shrink, the very trade of reporting declines. Most city papers at their zenith employed several hundred reporters and editors and had operating budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The steady decline of the news business means we are plunging larger and larger parts of our society into dark holes and opening up greater opportunities for unchecked corruption, disinformation and the abuse of power.
A democracy survives when its citizens have access to trustworthy and impartial sources of information, when it can discern lies from truth, when civic discourse is grounded in verifiable fact. And with the decimation of reporting these sources of information are disappearing.
The increasing fusion of news and entertainment, the rise of a class of celebrity journalists on television who define reporting by their access to the famous and the powerful, the retreat by many readers into the ideological ghettos of the Internet and the ruthless drive by corporations to destroy the traditional news business are leaving us deaf, dumb and blind. The relentless assault on the "liberal press" by right-wing propaganda outlets such as Fox News or by the Christian right is in fact an assault on a system of information grounded in verifiable fact. And once this bedrock of civil discourse is eradicated, people will be free, as many already are, to believe whatever they want to believe, to pick and choose what facts or opinions suit their world and what do not. In this new world lies will become true.
I, like many who cared more about truth than news, was pushed out of The New York Times, specifically over my vocal and public opposition to the war in Iraq. This is not a new story. Those reporters who persistently challenge the orthodoxy of belief, who question and examine the reigning political passions, always tacitly embraced by the commercial media, are often banished. There is a constant battle in newsrooms between the managers, those who serve the interests of the institution and the needs of the advertisers, and reporters whose loyalty is to readers. I have a great affection for reporters, who hide their idealism behind a thin veneer of cynicism and worldliness. I also harbor a deep distrust and even loathing for the careerists who rise up the food chain to become managers and editors.
Sidney Schanberg was nearly killed in Cambodia in 1975 after staying there for The New York Times to cover the conquest of Phnom Penh by the Khmer Rouge, reporting for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. Later he went back to New York from Cambodia and ran the city desk. He pushed reporters to report about the homeless, the poor and the victims of developers who were forcing families out of their rent-controlled apartments. But it was not a good time to give a voice to the weak and the poor. The social movements built around the opposition to the Vietnam War had dissolved. Alternative publications, including the magazine Ramparts, which through a series of exposés had embarrassed the established media organizations into doing real reporting, had gone out of business.
The commercial press had, once again, become lethargic. It had less and less incentive to challenge the power elite. Many editors viewed Schanberg's concerns as relics of a dead era. He was removed as city editor and assigned to write a column about New York. He used the column, however, to again decry the abuse of the powerful, especially developers. The then-editor of the paper, Abe Rosenthal, began to acidly refer to Schanberg as the resident "Commie" and address him as "St. Francis." Rosenthal, who met William F. Buckley almost weekly for lunch along with the paper's publisher, Arthur "Punch" Sulzberger, grew increasingly impatient with Schanberg, who was challenging the activities of their powerful friends. Schanberg became a pariah. He was not invited to the paper's table at two consecutiveInner Circledinners held for New York reporters. The senior editors and the publisher did not attend the previews for the film "The Killing Fields," based on Schanberg's experience in Cambodia. His days at the newspaper were numbered.
The city Schanberg profiled in his column did not look like the glossy ads in Rosenthal's new lifestyle sections or the Sunday New York Times magazine. Schanberg's city was one in which thousands of citizens were sleeping on the streets. It was one where there were lines at soup kitchens. It was a city where the mentally ill were thrown onto heating grates or into jails like human refuse. He wrote of people who were unable to afford housing. He lost his column and left the paper to work for New York Newsday and later The Village Voice.
Schanberg's story was one of many. The best reporters almost always run afoul of the mandarins above them, a clash that sees them defanged and demoted or driven out. They are banished by a class of careerists whom the war correspondent Homer Bigartdismissed as "the pygmies." One evening Bigart was assigned to write about a riot, drawing from the information provided by reporters on the scene. As one reporter, John Kifner, called in from a phone booth rioters began to shake it. Kifner relayed the distressing bit of news to Bigart, who, sick of the needling of his editors, reassumed Kifner with the words: "At least you're dealing with sane people."
Those who insist on reporting uncomfortable truths always try the patience of the careerists who manage these institutions. If they are too persistent, as most good reporters are, they become "a problem."
This battle, which exists in all newsrooms, was summed up for me by the Los Angeles Times reporter Dial Torgerson, whom I worked with in Central America until he was killed by a land mine on the border between Honduras and Nicaragua. "Always remember," he once told me of newspaper editors, "they are the enemy."
When I met with Schanberg in his apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side he told me, "I heard all kinds of reports over the years that the wealthy patrons of the Metropolitan Museum of Art would often get to use the customs clearance provided to the museum to import personal items, including jewelry, which was not going to the museum. I can't prove this, but I believe it to be true. Would the Times investigate this? Not in a million years. The publisher at the time was the chairman of the board of the museum. These were his friends."
But Schanberg also argues, as do I, that newspapers prove a vital bulwark for a democratic state. It is possible to decry their numerous failings and compromises with the power elite and yet finally honor them as important to the maintenance of democracy. Traditionally, if a reporter goes out and reports on an event, the information is usually trustworthy and accurate. The report can be slanted or biased. It can leave out vital facts. But it is not fiction. The day The New York Times and other great city newspapers die, if such a day comes, will be a black day for the nation.
Newspapers "do more than anyone else, although they left out a lot of things," Schanberg said. "There are stories on their blackout list. But it is important the paper is there because they spend money on what they chose to cover. Most of the problem of mainstream journalism is what they leave out. But what they do, aside from the daily boiler plate, press releases and so forth, is very, very important to the democratic process."
"Papers function as a guide to newcomers, to immigrants, as to what the ethos is, what the rules are, how we are supposed to behave," Schanberg added. "That is not always good, obviously, because this is the consensus of the Establishment. But papers, probably more in the earlier years than now, print texts of things people will never see elsewhere. It tells them what you have to do to cast a vote. It covers things like the swearing in of immigrants. They are a positive force. I don't think The New York Times was ever a fully committed accountability paper. I am not sure there is one. I don't know who coined the phrase Afghanistanism, but it fits for newspapers.
Afghanistanism means you can cover all the corruption you find in Afghanistan, but don't try to do it in your own backyard. The Washington Post does not cover Washington. It covers official Washington. The Times ignores lots of omissions and worse by members of the Establishment."
"Newspapers do not erase bad things," Schanberg went on. "Newspapers keep the swamp from getting any deeper, from rising higher. We do it in spurts. We discover the civil rights movement. We discover the women's rights movement. We go at it hellbent because now it is kosher to write about those who have been neglected and treated like half citizens. And then when things calm down it becomes easy not to do that anymore."
The death of newspapers means, as Schanberg points out, that we will lose one more bulwark holding back the swamp of corporate malfeasance, abuse and lies. It will make it harder for us as a society to separate illusion from reality, fact from opinion, reality from fantasy. There is nothing, of course, intrinsically good about newspapers. We have long been cursed with sleazy tabloids and the fictional stories of the supermarket press, which have now become the staple of television journalism. The commercial press, in the name of balance and objectivity, had always skillfully muted the truth in the name of news or blotted it out. But the loss of great newspapers, newspapers that engage with the community, means the loss of one of the cornerstones of our open, democratic state. We face the prospect, in the very near future, of major metropolitan cities without city newspapers. This loss will diminish our capacity for self-reflection and take away the critical tools we need to monitor what is happening around us.
The leaders of the civil rights movement grasped from the start that without a press willing to attend their marches and report fairly from their communities on the injustices they decried and the repression they suffered, the movement would "have been a bird without wings," as civil rights leader and U.S. Rep. John Lewissaid.
"Without the media's willingness to stand in harm's way and starkly portray events of the Movement as they saw them unfold, Americans may never have understood or even believed the horrors that African Americans faced in the Deep South," Lewis, a Georgia Democrat, said in
2005 when the House celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. "That commitment to publish the truth took courage. It was incredibly dangerous to be seen with a pad, a pen, or a camera in Mississippi, Alabama or Georgia where the heart of the struggle took place. There was a violent desperation among local and State officials and the citizens to maintain the traditional order. People wanted to keep their injustice a secret. They wanted to hide from the critical eye of a disapproving world. They wanted to flee from the convictions of their own conscience. And they wanted to destroy the ugly reflection that nonviolent protestors and camera images so graphically displayed.
So when the Freedom Riders climbed off the bus in Alabama in 1961, for example, there were reporters who were beaten and bloodied before any of us were."
Our political apparatus and systems of information have been diminished and taken hostage by corporations. Our government no longer responds to the needs or rights of citizens. We have been left disempowered without the traditional mechanisms to be heard. Those who battle the corporate destruction of the ecosystem and seek to protect the remnants of our civil society must again take to the streets. They have to engage in acts of civil disobedience. But this time around the media and the systems of communication have dramatically changed.
The death of journalism, the loss of reporters on the airwaves and in print who believed the plight of the ordinary citizen should be reported, means that it will be harder for ordinary voices and dissenters to reach the wider public. The preoccupation with news as entertainment and the loss of sustained reporting will effectively marginalize and silence those who seek to be heard or to defy established power. Protests, unlike in the 1960s, will have a difficult time garnering the daily national coverage that characterized the reporting on the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement and in the end threatened the power elite. Acts of protest, no longer covered or barely covered, will leap up like disconnected wildfires, more easily snuffed out or ignored. It will be hard if not impossible for resistance leaders to have their voices amplified across the nation, to build a national movement for change. The failings of newspapers were huge, but in the years ahead, as the last battle for democracy means dissent, civil disobedience and protest, we will miss them.

Americans & America's National Interests
July 2, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Dr. Aslam Abdullah, TMO Editor in chief
For almost 40 years, we Americans are being led to believe that Israel is a Western outpost in the Middle East and it is the only democratic country in the region that looks West. We are being led to believe that only Israel can defend out interests in the Middle East.
What are our interests in the Middle East? What are our core values?
In one simple word, our interests are in oil and in capturing a market share that would sustain our jobs and economy.
What are our core values?
In one simple word, our core values are defined by free market and unbridled capitalism.
We have rarely stood for democracy and democratic values. We have supported dictators and we still support them. We have supported movements that destabilize democracies primarily to ensure that our market interests are shared. Out interests are not determined by our people who vote in every election. Rather they are determined by those who influence our representatives through money and intimidation.
Our power elite has a grudge against Islam and Muslims. It does not view Islam a credible force in the world. In its view, Islam is a regressive ideology that dictates its draconian laws through the instrument of state. Our power elite relies on the medieval understanding of Islam for this perspective. Regardless of its leanings towards liberal or conservative thoughts, it believes that a religion that cannot change according to the will of those who produce capital is not worthy of anything.
The power elite is supported at least in action by Muslim monarchs, dictators, and Muslim political entities who have yet to provide a blue print for a society where human beings can live with dignity and freedom. On the contrary, they have projected Islam as a faith that is intolerant towards all those who are not willing to listen to its call. The way religious opposition is dealt in Muslim majority countries is a living proof of that.
Regardless of what the power elite tries to dictate, we Muslims must make every possible attempt to connect people and identify with their interests. We must present our perspectives of national interests to them without being intimidated. Otherwise, we would remain a pawn in this ponzy politics that legitimizes double standards in every policy issue. We the people have a right to determine our national interests collectively. We must never allow any lobby to dictate its terms on us. We are a democracy that are led by lobbyists and not by people. We claim that we believe in a government of the people, by the people for the people. But we tend to promote a government of the people, by the lobbies and for the lobbyists.

Moroccan woman's outfit
Tafilalet region First half of the 20th century The red fabric of the tunic and the silk embroidery on its front and sleeves distinguished Jewish women's dress in the Tafilalet region. The women would wrap a fabric over their tunic and fasten it with pins. The distinctive head covering of married women, the grun ("horns"), was an elaborate construction demanding much expertise to fit and adjust. On the eighth day of wedding celebrations, a married woman would put the grun on the new bride, who would thereafter do it herself every morning. It was believed that this head covering would ensure her a long and happy marriage.

Name: DJ insanity
Age: 28
Place: Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands
At the age of 14 DJ insanity was introduced to the concept of DJ-ing. Since that time he was hooked. Started all in the time vinyl was the way to go, DJ insanity started collection great record from several music labels.
As a allround DJ he started playing House, Disco and Trance.
After experiencing different parties and events, DJ insanity wanted to search for one style to make his own. Over the years he also experimented with HardTrance and HardHouse. During that time two new styles entered the Dutch music scene. Hardstyle and Jumpstyle.
Since Jumpstyle was not the thing he wanted, DJ insanity focused on Hardstyle. Soon he found out there were different styles within Hardstyle. The uplifting tunes and hard kicks nowadays known from well knowns artists like Headhunterz, Noisecontrolles, Audio/Freq, DJ insanity started to follow them to learn as much as he can about their mixing skills and music styles.
Recently he started producing Hardstyle music, although it is a major project in progress, great feedback is received by other artists and listeners.To listen at DJ insanity´s first produced sounds, check out his youtubechannel at http://www.youtube.com/user/insanity83NL
More info is to come in the future…
