The Macdonald-Laurier Institute for Public Policy (MLI) exists to make poor quality public policy unacceptable in Ottawa. We will achieve this goal by proposing thoughtful alternatives to Canadians and their political and opinion leaders through non-partisan and independent research and commentary.
Reaching these goals requires human and financial resources. We are grateful for financial support from a variety of foundations, corporations and individuals. Support that allows us to:
- continue our ambitious research program which covers all facets of federal public policy.
- publish our research material so that all Canadians can learn about, read, hear and see innovative policy suggestions for the future.
- stage events that bring Canadians and their public policy leaders into contact with one another as we all try to build a better Canada.
We would not be able to continue to make a difference for Canadians without this support. You can help make that difference… consider making a donation to MLI today. For a donation of $100 we will provide you with a charitable tax receipt and a signed copy of your choice of either Fearful Symmetry or The Canadian Century.
There are several options to donate:
- Proceed to PayPal and make a donation. Select either book when you make a donation of $100 or more.
- Proceed to CanadaHelps to make your donation. Select either book when you make a donation of $100 or more.

Thank you for supporting the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
The Macdonald-Laurier Institute is a registered charitable institution for educational purposes in Canada and the United States. It is Canada's only truly national public policy think tank based in Ottawa and it is rigorously independent and non-partisan, as symbolized by its name. Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Wilfrid Laurier were two outstanding and long-serving former prime ministers who represent the best of Canada's distinguished political tradition. A Tory and a Grit, an English-speaker and a French-speaker, each of them championed the values that led to the creation of Canada and its emergence as one of the world's leading democracies and a place where people may live in peace and freedom under the rule of law.

If you're traveling to the birthplace of rock 'n' roll, there are so many things to do it will make your head spin! From scrumptious Southern-style food to exciting sports events, this metropolis has something to offer anyone. Hop in a Memphis rental car for the local experience and the ability to travel to all the attractions. Tennessee's largest city is a family-friendly town filled with admission-free museums, great dining and beautiful weather. Although one of the most popular modes of transportation around downtown is the trolley, you won't want to miss all the action outside of the downtown center.
Urban jungle
Located in Midtown Memphis, Overton Park may look like every other park from the outside, but meander to the center and you'll find yourself in a wonderland of animals. Open since 1906, the beloved Memphis Zoo is home to thousands of animals and it has even been named as one of the best zoos in the country! Watch sea lions play in a synchronized performance at the Northwest Passage - also home to polar bears, bald eagles and black bears. Grab a bite to eat after the show at one of the many vendors' stands, or bring along your own cooler in your Memphis rental car.
Beale Street
A Memphis car rental can take you to the legendary Beale Street, where some of music's most influential artists got their start. In 1966, Beale Street was officially declared a National Historic Landmark, making it a perfect place to visit for music-loving families. Head to the Walk of Fame between 2nd and 3rd streets where musical notes are sprinkled on the sidewalk to honor some of the area's best musicians. You may even catch a show from the legendary Beale Street Flippers, who often perform during halftime of NBA games.
Cruise the Mississippi
Families can jump aboard a tour boat and cruise down the Mississippi River while getting to see all the great things Memphis has to offer. Kids will love getting out of Memphis car rentals for a little while to feel the fresh breeze and ride down the river. These relaxing cruises are perfect at nighttime because parents can enjoy the sunset while kids are in awe over the bright lights of the city. Adventurous families can opt for an airboat ride - an experience unlike any other.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: lawman
I value Webmaster World dearly, and visit many times per day (I don't really leave, in a sense) But I am depressed to see such blatent censorship. The words he choose to use were not profound in their nature.
Your decision to censor me is astounding. Maybe you will kill this post as well. If so , what would YOU like me to say if I am not allowed to say what I want to say?
Why would this thread surface 2 months later?
You are entitled to your opinion about Google, DMOZ, Alta Vista or any other topic, but I don't think it is necessary to start name calling. There are many DMOZ editors who are valued members of WebmasterWorld and who contribute a great deal to these fora. A little decorum and respect wouldn't be out of line.
All said, it was probably calling the DMOZ editors "pigs" that cinched it for me. We're not that keen on moderating name-calling sessions here.
>what would YOU like me to say if I am not allowed to say what I want to say?
No one has ever represented that this is a forum for "free speech" advocates. That's what the terms of service [webmasterworld.com] and the forum charters (Directories Forum seems relevant here [webmasterworld.com]) lay out pretty plainly.
"Opinions" and "free thinking" need not include name calling or other abuses.
Warm regards,
To think this all started because some silly website dreamed up some silly meaningless awards -I must be still trying to get over the constant irritation of the media hyped equally meaningless Oscar awards.
Maybe there are decent Dmoz editors and I will apologise to those who are genuine and make an effort but unfortunately I seem to use directories that these wonderful people don't edit. I guess a bad apple or two just makes the rest look rotten.
I'm also sorry if I responded to a 2 month old post as it seems to be a problem for some. I didn't realise there was an expiry date on anything here.
with all my love and affection
>I must be still trying to get over the constant irritation of the media hyped equally meaningless Oscar awards.
pyst, there's certainly ample opportunity on the www for irritation and and strong opinions. There are dozens of blogs going up every day for exactly that purpose, so that people can express themselves about matters such as "meaningless Oscar awards," only adhering to their own rules and those of their web hosts.
Participation and posting privileges at a membership site, however, are contingent on agreeing and adhering to Terms of Service that are established for everyone's benefit. Posting is not a right, it's a privilege. There's a time and a place for everything; it just requires maturity and discernment to distinguish the difference and adapt accordingly.
>Are you are too busy protecting your business relationships to provide a free-thinking information board?
nate, that's been addressed by the previous quotes from our TOS, but let's add another, which is foundational to them all:
Always be respectful of other users, the system, and the moderators. We put the system online in good faith, please use it in good faith.
Free thinking and discussion are most certainly encouraged, but where there is a conflict between free expression and being respecful, respect must and will prevail. That's the underlying concept behind decisions that are made, including whether to edit or not.
The purpose of WmW is more clearly defined by this quote from our main page:
News and discussion for the independent web professional.
That just about says it all. We have members who are indeed seasoned professionals with years of experience as well as newcomers with little experience who have a dream, and we welcome and nurture them along so that if they stay with us, some day they can be professionals. That can only happen by maintaining an environment that's comfortable and productive for all, most particularly an atmosphere of respect that's foundational to good personal as well as business relationships.

A dislocation is when the bones in a joint slip out of their normal position. A finger dislocation may happen from a fall, blow, or sports injury, especially if the finger is bent back or jammed.
A dislocated finger is usually diagnosed through an X-ray. The bones may move back into place on their own or a doctor might gently put the joint back with a quick maneuver called a reduction. In some cases, surgery is needed to repair the joint
To keep the joint from dislocating again, a splint is put on the injured finger or the injured finger is taped to the neighboring finger ("buddy taping"). Depending on the injury, the splint or buddy taping will remain for a few days to a few weeks. Gentle hand exercises might be recommended to help strengthen the finger and reduce joint stiffness.
With proper treatment, most people who dislocate a finger can gradually return to their normal activities. The finger may feel sore or stiff for a while.

don't worry... we go through this process every year when were expecting an active hurricane season. Generally the Atlantic tropical season doesn't kick in until the middle to end of August. That's when conditions start to become more favorable off the Cape Verde Islands.
July is generally very quiet in the tropics.
I would argue that overall July is our calmest month of the year. There's been a couple little swells this month.
True...but what happened to the big prediction for some hurricane/TS to hit NJ/NY?

A Visual Guide to Moped Parking in Madison
State Statutes allow mopeds to be parked like bicycles (1). This means that mopeds can be parked at bike racks and on sidewalks, as long as the pedestrian way is not blocked. When parking on sidewalks always park in the terrace, the area between where people walk and the street, not on the walkway.
Mopeds can also be parked on the street anywhere it is legal to park, or in a parking lot or ramp.
(1) 346.54(1) (e) For the purpose of parking, mopeds shall be considered bicycles. Where possible without impeding the flow of pedestrian traffic, a bicycle, [or] moped may be parked on a sidewalk. A bicycle, [or] moped may be parked in a bike rack or other similar area designated for bicycle parking.
NOTE: These parking rules do not apply on the UW-Madison campus. On campus mopeds can only be parked in designated areas, and a moped parking permit is required. For more information on moped parking on the UW-Madison campus contact UW Transportation Services at (608) 263-6666.
Moped License Plate
Motorcycle License Plate
Moped plates in Wisconsin say "MOPED". If your license plate does not include the word "MOPED", your vehicle is classified and registered as a motorcycle and you cannot park on the sidewalk.
If your vehicle does not have pedals and has an engine larger than 50 cc it is a motorcycle, not a moped, and cannot be parked on the sidewalk. This vehicle is a motorcycle and is illegally parked on the sidewalk.
Park in a bike rack if you are locking your moped to the rack.
If you are not locking your moped to a bike rack, you can park anywhere out of the way of pedestrian walking areas. You do not have to be in or near a bike rack.
Park outside the pedestrian walkway area. Do not block the sidewalk area where people need to walk.
Do not park near a bike rack so as to block the spaces for bicyclists. Since this moped is not locked to the bike rack, there is no need to park at the rack. Park away from the rack but not in the pedestrian walking area.
When parking near, but not in, a bike rack, please park at least 5 feet away from any bikes in the rack or 10 feet away from the center of the rack on the side the bikes are on to allow room for bikes to enter and exit the rack. The bicycle parking space is 6 feet long and there needs to be a 5 foot access aisle behind the bikes for entry and exit.
Mopeds, and motorcycles, can be parked on the street anywhere parking is permitted, as well as in parking lots and ramps. Some streets, parking lots and ramps have special spaces for motorcycles, mopeds can also be parked in these spaces.
Mopeds can also be parked at parking meter spaces for either cars or motorcycles, as long as you pay for the meter time and do not park longer than allowed.
If you park on the sidewalk, or use the sidewalk to access a bicycle rack or moped parking area, remember that it is illegal to operate your moped on the sidewalk. You have to walk your moped on the sidewalk at all times.
The University of Wisconsin requires a moped parking permit and has designated moped parking areas throughout campus. On campus you can only park in these spaces, and only with the permit. For moped permit and parking location information, contact UW Transportation Services at (608) 263-6666.

Soho's Puck building was packed Sunday afternoon with brokers, buyers and browsers checking out New York's hottest luxe real estate projects. The first ever New York Observer Condo Showcase made one stop shopping easy for anyone with a few (or 10) million dollars burning a hole in their Rock & Republics.
The idea was the brainchild of Observer Media Group publisher and real estate scion Jared Kushner, who apparently liked what he saw. He picked up a pad in Manhattan. Kushner tells FishbowlNY the one-day walk thorough made it simple for potential buyers to see the projects, and the developers to develop interest in them. The free-flowing Mimosas and aged Tarentaise helped.
From Riverdale to FiDi (that's Financial District to you and me); from Hell's Kitchen, to Williamsburg, 40 high-end properties represented.
Kushner says the event exceeded expectations with more than 2,250 people attending. He plans to make it a twice a year event. The $10 entrance fee ($5 online) goes to the Coalition for the Homeless.

LOS ANGELES — We eat there, we buy our clothes there, and some people suspect teenagers may actually live there. So perhaps it was just a matter of time before funeral homes began moving into the shopping mall.
Over the last two years, Forest Lawn has been putting movable kiosks in several of the malls that dot Southern California's suburbs.
The move, by one of the funeral industry's best-known operators, expands on a marketing innovation that appears to have begun at the dawn of the decade when a company called Til We Meet Again began opening casket stores around the country.
"We try to reach our audience where they are at, and the mall is a great way to do that," said Ben Sussman, spokesman for Forest Lawn, whose cemeteries count among their permanent residents such notables as Walt Disney, Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson.
"It's also, perhaps, a way to reach people who might be a little leery about coming directly into one of our parks," Sussman said.
As to why folks would be leery about that, industry officials acknowledge that the answer is obvious: Who really wants to enter a funeral home even one day before they have to?
"Funeral planning is something everybody knows they must do, but at the same time it's something nobody wants to do," said Robert Fells, executive director of the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association.
"Nobody gets up on a Saturday morning and says, 'Gee, it's a nice day. I wonder if I can go out and get myself a burial plot,'" Fells said.
But if they're strolling past a funeral outlet at the mall, they might think differently.
"When they're going to the mall, people are not going out of need," said Nathan Smith, co-founder and CEO of Til We Meet Again, which has outlets in malls in Arizona, Louisiana, Kansas, Indiana and Amarillo, Texas.
If they happen to see a place peddling coffins or urns while they're pricing T-shirts and hoodies, it will look far less intimidating, Smith said.
Forest Lawn's effort began modestly, with just one kiosk in a mall in the Los Angeles suburb of Eagle Rock.
When no one was creeped out, the program expanded to about a half-dozen malls. Now, Forest Lawn periodically shuffles them from one mall to another to reach the largest audience.
Discreet pitch
Unlike the people at other kiosks, who can seem like carnival barkers as they hawk discount calling plans or free yogurt samples, Forest Lawn's operators are discreet.
At the entrance to a Macy's department in the LA suburb of Arcadia last year, operators were quick to smile and hand out brochures when approached. But they kept their distance until people came to them.
It was the same at a mall in Glendale recently, where people stopped to examine cremation urns, including one that featured the logo for the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
Also on display was a recruiting poster for potential future Forest Lawn employees, complete with a picture of the great Dodgers pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, who urged them to consider "joining a winning team."
Still, not everyone is thrilled with the idea. "You're in a shopping mall and you're walking along and there's a funeral place?" said retired high school teacher Stan Slome, 86. "That sounds too deadly."
After thinking it over, however, he acknowledged that it could catch on.
Boomer plans
If more funeral companies show up at the mall, credit the aging baby boom generation at least in part, said Jessica Koth of the National Funeral Directors Association. Historically, people have not wanted to talk, or even think, about their demise.
But baby boomers, the oldest of whom are pushing 70, are different. Many are beginning to press for green funerals that don't require the use of coffins or burial vaults, Koth said. Others want custom-made coffins or urns that say something about who they were.
That often means something that represents a favorite car or sports team, said Smith of Til We Meet Again. He once got a request once for a coffin built to resemble a portable toilet from a guy whose company made them.
With that mindset, going to the mall and planning the whole deal doesn't seem that unusual.

Peerless Shrinks Ultra Slim Flat Wall Mount to .19" - World's Thinnest
2-4 Times Thinner Than Competition; New Locking Arm Adds Protection
Jun 15, 2011, 09:00 ET from Peerless-AV
ORLANDO, Fla., June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's slimmest mounts for ultra-thin flat panel displays just got 42% thinner with Peerless-AV's new Universal Ultra Slim Flat Wall Mounts. Extending just .19" (5mm) from the wall – one-third the width of a dime – the new Ultra Slim mounts for ultra-thin flat panel displays up to 65" are two to four times thinner than competitive solutions. The result is near-invisible installation that makes the super-sleek displays appear to float on the wall.
Nearly Flush to the Wall
The Universal Ultra Slim Flat Wall Mount's leaner-than-ever patent-pending design was achieved by re-engineering the mount to eliminate vertical brackets and instead allow flat panels to hook directly onto the wall plate with two screws that fit into the display's built-in screw holes. The new design shaved .14" off the first-generation Ultra Slim flat mount, delivering an even tighter screen-to-wall fit than before and concealing the mount almost entirely.
New Locking Arm, Easy Installation
The new Universal Ultra Slim Flat Wall Mount series also features an industry-first locking arm that prevents displays from being dislocated when bumped. An optional security screw provides additional protection in commercial settings.
Mount installation is an easy three-step process involving fastening the mount to wood studs or concrete, attaching the display, and sliding the locking arm onto one side of the wall plate. Unlike some other ultra thin flat wall mounts, the Peerless-AV version achieves its .19" depth without requiring the drywall to be cut. All necessary display attachment hardware is included in a fastener pack that ships with the mount.
Three Models, Complementary Products
Peerless-AV's new Universal Ultra Slim Flat Wall Mounts are available for 23" to 46" (SUF641P), 32" to 56" (SUF651P), and 37" to 65" (SUF661P) VESA®-compliant ultra-thin flat panel displays. They are part of a larger family of world's-thinnest universal flat panel mounts that also include tilt and articulating models.
Other complementary new Peerless-AV products include:
- Recessed Cable Management and Power Storage Accessory Boxes, slimmed-down in-wall accessory boxes that create more usable space behind the flat panel display for cable and power management.

Madden NFL 2005 Review
A brand new portable system and a new incarnation of the long running Madden NFL series – recipe for some great football gaming on the go, right? Wrong. Madden NFL 2005 DS features some surprisingly sub-par graphics, poor sound work, bugs, and a general lack of polish that will leave you with the feeling that you're playing with a beta version of the game rather than the final product.
Probably the first question that came to your mind when you heard that Madden NFL was coming to the DS was probably whether or not the game would make good use of the DS' unique dual screen layout. Well the game makes use of both screens, but overall it tends to be more for novelty's sake than for innovative gameplay. The touchscreen is used to display your playbook and you can even tap to select plays, but while this is going on the main screen just shows your team in a huddle so there's not much added value here. The touchscreen is also used to display the kick meter, so you get a nice big view of the meter but do so at the cost of being able to aim your kick.
During plays the touchscreen is used to display a top-down, X's and O's view of the action. This can give you a good look at the separation between a receiver and his defender, but overall it is not very practical to be bouncing your eyeballs between two screens to both watch for open receivers and avoid the rush. I suppose you could play the entire game while using the touchscreen view, but it's been over 20 years since gamers were last forced to play video football with an overhead view of X's and O's.
Overall the game's graphics are disappointing. The players all look the same – cartoon-like, disproportioned hulks whose animation is surprisingly stilted and choppy. It's almost as if EA recycled an older graphics engine for the game rather than develop one that takes advantage of the DS' screen resolution. The quality of the visuals can also make play a little difficult at times, as it can be hard to judge the distance to holes in the line or to cut the right defensive angle. While the graphics are merely disappointing, the sound is downright terrible. The game commentary is surprisingly limited, so expect to hear the same few phrases over and over again even within the same game. Making matters worse is that there is sometimes a disconnect between the action on the field and the play by play call, leaving you to wonder sometimes if the announcers are watching the same game that you are.
On the plus side the game plays a solid game of football and the strengths and weaknesses of the teams do a good job of matching those of their real-life counterparts. However, the AI does have a tendency to have trouble with some particular plays. The running game is a mixed bag, with running between the tackles too difficult and large gains from outside runs too common. All in all, though, you'll probably be pleased enough with the on field play in the game.

Santa Rosa will ask an appellate court to reconsider nearly $40,000 in fines it levied against the city for what it said were frivolous legal filings.
The City Council on Tuesday unanimously authorized the city attorney to ask the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco for a new hearing on the issue.
The city last month lost its appeal of Superior Court Judge Elliot Daum's 2011 ruling against the city in its lawsuit over a disputed easement through a gated community near Oakmont.
The city had asked Daum to throw out a counter-suit filed by the Villages at Wild Oak Association, but the judge refused. The city appealed, but the higher court upheld Daum's ruling, chastising the city for its "repeated pattern of ignoring or misrepresenting relevant authority."
In rare move, the court ordered the city to pay the association's $39,810 in legal fees as a sanction.

It was nearly four years ago that residents of the Douglass neighborhood questioned city staff over a decision to privatize their community center.
Back then, neighbors wondered why the city was proposing large-scale changes to the city-run Douglass Community Center, a gathering place for the neighborhood's children and families, but none of its other recreation centers. Some wondered if Douglass was targeted because it's the city's historically black neighborhood.
Some were upset that any changes were happening at all.
"A few community members still feel that way," said Ramon Hodridge, minister of Avenue F Christ of Church and treasurer of the newly formed Douglass Community Neighborhood Association.
Hodridge said it will take time for those residents to come to terms with the city's decision to privatize the community center and give control to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Collin County.
"There's nothing we can do about the city's decision to privatize it. It's just going to take more time," he said.
The change has been for the better, said Amy Fortenberry, Plano's parks and recreation director.
"I do think that the city, the citizens of Plano and the Douglass neighborhood are all better served as a result," she said.
She said the organization has been able to accomplish things the city couldn't do, such as providing transportation for children from their schools and raising money for their programs.
The organization has also been able to partner with businesses who have "adopted" specific rooms to provide enhancements. The center now has a media room to host movies and guest speakers, a teen room with games, an art room, a reading room and a dance studio.
About 125 volunteers serve as tutors, said Debra Sweezer, the Collin County chapter vice president of programs. Nearly 900 children are registered in the program annually from the 28 Plano schools it serves.
Before 2010, both the city and the Boys and Girls Clubs shared the facility.
"We were operating out of the back part of the building," Sweezer said.
The Plano branch of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Collin County began serving the Douglass neighborhood in 1993, first in the old Plano Housing Authority building and then at the Douglass Community Center, according to the organization's website.
"This was just a duplication of services. We were providing similar services," Fortenberry said. "It makes more sense."
The city, which provided services for free or low cost, has saved more than $500,000 by transferring control of operations to the Boys and Girls Clubs. It did not charge a membership fee like the city's recreation centers.
"We didn't have any other community center like this," Fortenberry said.
Public meetings over the change were held over over the course of nearly a year, she said.
Residents will soon notice another change at the Douglass Community Center.
Renovations including fresh paint, a landscaping overhaul and maintenance will be underway this year, thanks to a city bond program of $500,000 approved in 2009.
"We committed to that," Fortenberry said.
When the city made the change, one of the biggest worries for community members, especially older residents, was that much of the adult programming would be lost, said Kisha Voss, president of the neighborhood association.
"Some community members were and are still upset. Some events that we used to have don't happen anymore," such as ESL classes and senior meetings, she said.
Boys and Girls Clubs representatives said they're doing their best to keep community events alive.
"Our community events have continued to go on," said Karen Johnson, the Boys and Girls Clubs branch director of the location.
The center still provides annual community programs such as a Thanksgiving event and a health fair, financial literacy programs and forums for parents. There are a number of local groups that meet at the center, said Darion McCoy, assistant director of the Plano branch.
Mike Simpson, CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Collin County and former mayor of Frisco, said he hasn't heard any negative feedback from the neighborhood since the group took over the Douglass center.
And the neighborhood association's efforts to organize more community-wide events might help put concerned residents at ease, Hodridge said.
In the past few months, the association has started holding its meetings at the center, and it will host a number of upcoming events there, among them a free community block party on May 3.
"Our association is trying to bridge that gap," Hodridge said. "[The Douglass Community Center] is still the central point for the community. We're trying to work together to get the community united."
Voss said most Douglass neighbors want to work with and be a part of the community center.
"The majority of the community wants to work together," she said. "I think it's beneficial."

Doc of the Year: Award Comes with Responsibility
"There is nothing special about me. I am just a doctor trying to do what I know how to do," says Thomas E. Albani Jr., MD, who helped establish and helps run a free health clinic in Ohio. The American Academy of Family Physicians has named him 2013 Family Physician of the Year.
Between his solo practice, his volunteer clinic work and other community and professional service, Canfield, OH-based family physician Thomas E. Albani Jr., MD, figures he puts in "anywhere between 60 to 70 hours or more than that" each week.
(Photo: Ohio State University College of Medicine)
"You get tired, but honestly I feel pretty good," says Albani, 56. "There is that old axiom that if you do what you love you never work a day in your life. That is where I am at. I love what I am doing. If I am having a bad day the thing that makes me the most happy is when I go in to see my patients. They pick me up. I enjoy interacting with folks. It always helps."
Albani's longstanding dedication and commitment to providing healthcare access for the less-affluent in his native Youngstown, OH region have earned him the 2013 Family Physician of the Year award from the American Academy of Family Physicians.
In addition to his nearly 30 years of private practice, Albani helped establish the Midlothian Free Health Clinic, which works out of a church and serves a working poor patient base. The clinic gets no public money and is staffed by volunteers who provide patients with a primary care medical home. Albani, who is the medical director at the clinic, and his staff also help patients navigate the healthcare maze when more advanced, sub-specialty care is needed.

New York, November 8, 2012 – Authorities in the Philippines must immediately investigate the shooting death of radio journalist Julius Cauzo and bring the perpetrators to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Journalists march in Manila to mark the second anniversary of the massacre of at least 57 people, including 32 journalists, in Maguindanao on November 23, 2011. The International Day to End Impunity commemorates the massacre. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)
A gunman riding a motorcycle shot Cauzo, who was also on a motorcycle, around 8.30 a.m. today in the northern Philippine city, Cabanatuan, according to local and international news reports. Cauzo died of three gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital, the reports said. The murder took place in the lead-up to the International Day to End Impunity on November 23, a global campaign to promote justice for killed journalists.
Cauzo was a host and commentator for the local radio station DWJJ, executive vice-president of the Nueva Ecija Press Club, and was known for criticizing local politicians, news reports said. A colleague reported that he had received death threats before the murder, but the reason for the threats was not known, according to local newspaper The Philippine Star. Police are still investigating whether the murder was work-related, according to the reports.
"We urge police to investigate Julius Cauzo's murder immediately and thoroughly," said CPJ Deputy Director Robert Mahoney. "Impunity in the killing of journalists is an entrenched problem in the Philippines, and requires action from law enforcement as well as sustained attention to the problem through international efforts like the Day to End Impunity."
CPJ's Global Campaign Against Impunity of five years has focused primarily on the Philippines and Russia, where journalists are killed frequently and prosecutions are rare.
The Philippines ranks third on CPJ's Impunity Index – a list of countries where journalists are murdered and governments fail to solve the crimes – second only to Iraq and Somalia.
On November 23, CPJ will continue the global fight against impunity with the launch of a new digital initiative. You can follow the campaign through CPJ's regional Asia accounts on Facebook and Twitter.

Reds radio announcer Marty Brennaman received the Ford C. Frick Award on July 23, 2000, in ceremonies at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The award is presented each year by the Hall of Fame to a broadcaster "for major contributions to the game of baseball." Brennaman, Red Barber (WSAI, 1934-38) and Russ Hodges (WFBE, 1932) are the only Reds announcers ever to receive the Hall of Fame's prestigious broadcasting award.

This week I'll pick up on the introductory discussion of PPC landing pages. If you haven't already read the first installment, go back and do so now. Also, a few caveat/plugs: the confines and scope of this column make it impossible to treat some complex topics thoroughly. Landing page design and testing is one of those topics.
For a truly in-depth, expert, A-Z description, I highly recommend the book Landing Page Optimization, written by my friend and fellow Search Engine Watch author Tim Ash. And for those of you faced with the task of creating and testing many different landing page versions, I encourage you to take a look at the landing page design tool/platform LiveBall from Ion Interactive.
Before diving in, I want to clarify a few things. First, the advice here will pertain to landing pages that are the destination of pay-per-click ads, and not necessarily to home pages and other site pages. Second, you don't need to worry about the SEO value (or potential to hinder SEO objectives); these pages are not intended to be browsed, and in fact it's probably a good idea to exclude them from spider examination by using "nofollow" mechanisms.
As usual, I'll start very simply. I'll refer to the very stark mockup below. I'll start with the most important concept in this article:
The first and most important objective of the landing page is to convince the visitor that they've come to the right place.
If this crucial first step doesn't happen — immediately — many (and possibly most) visitors will hit the back button and click on one of your competitor's ads.
Landing page designers should assume that most people visiting the site via PPC suffer from Attention Deficiency Disorder. They're rushing through their day with the usual thousands of distractions, trying to accomplish a task quickly: buy what your site is offering.
They do a Google search. They click on your ad. They start at the top left corner of the page and try to decide whether the page (and by extension, the site) matches their need/desire. If it does, they continue scanning the page, and possibly convert. If not, they're gone — possibly forever.
How long does this process take? You'll read various estimates. My educated guess? Less than one second. But you can find out yourself: use your web analytics package to find out the bounce rate for your current landing page, and the duration of the visit for those who bounced off the page.
I'm betting you'll find that the bounce rate is alarmingly high — like, over 50% — and the time on site for the "bouncers" is no more than a second or two. The bad news is: that's bad. The good news: you're on your way to improvements.
So what's the best way to ensure visitors conclude they've come to the right place? Reinforce it using the communications medium they've already used: words.
You'll improve conversion rates significantly by doing just one thing: mirroring the language of the PPC ad in the area just below the landing page logo.
So if the search term was "red nike sneakers," and the ad text included "Free Shipping. Delivery by Christmas!", the headline below the logo should be "Buy Red Nike Sneakers. Free Shipping and Guaranteed Delivery by Christmas!"
By now it should have dawned on you that the best strategy may be to create a separate landing page for each ad group. Some companies can afford to do that, others can't. I'll show you some shortcuts in future columns.
For now, since I'm running out of space, I'll list additional landing page design guidelines, and explain them in detail in the next column.
- Keep the logo small. Take a look at the landing pages of prominent retailers – the size of the logo has shrunk steadily over the years. I personally believe the logo need be no larger than 200 or so pixels wide by 50 high.
- Most people, including ADD site visitors, don't read content formatted as paragraphs. Put your content – benefits, features – into short, bulleted items.
- Graphics can be very helpful — product photos, pictures of happy people benefitting from your products/services — but keep the graphics relatively small. They should reinforce your textual messages and help guide the visitor to a quick conversion. See #6 below.
- The button or link that allows the visitor to take the next step in the conversion process should be big, prominent and "above the fold" – visible on the screen without forcing the visitor to scroll to see it.
- Limit or exclude off-page navigation. The more specific the search term, the less likely that the visitor arrived on your page without conversion intent. For that reason, pages we design often contain only three links – the link going to the next step in the conversion process, plus one each for the Privacy Policy and About Us pages. The latter are included for those visitors who need to feel the site and company are trustworthy. But we want to keep the visitor on the landing page – so we usually open a new window to display these two, leaving the landing page visible and accessible behind.
- Adopt the attitude, "If it's not helping, it's hurting." Any text, graphic or filigree must help focus the attention of the visitor on completing the conversion.
My column enjoys a hiatus over the next two weeks, so the next installment will be published January 9. I'll continue describing PPC landing page design. Meanwhile, here's some homework: do a Google search on the term "buy nike mercurial aero vapor sneakers." Then try to figure out which ad and landing page combinations convert the best. Let me know what you think by hopping over to the Profitable PPC forum. And I wish you happy, healthy, restful holidays — and a 2009 full of juicy conversions!

In its rush to paint vitamin supplements as a "Lethal Weapon" in need of regulation, CBS's showed its "Passion" for bigger government as correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi used part two of her two-night series on nutrition supplements to accuse Mel Gibson, and vitamin makers, of standing in the way of nutrition supplement regulation.
"Nutritional supplements. So many Americans use them, so why aren't they regulated the way drugs are? You may not like the answer," anchor Katie Couric teased her January 16 audience before a commercial break.
"In 1993, the FDA was on the verge of enforcing a truth-in-labeling regulation for dietary supplements. The industry struck back with commercials like this," Alfonsi explained over footage of the actor Mel Gibson from a 1993 ad.
"Consumers were urged to write to their congressmen or told they may have to kiss their vitamin C goodbye," the correspondent added. Citing "science and medical writer Dan Hurley," Alfonsi complained that "Congress caved and passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act instead."
Appearing on camera with Alfonsi in a pharmacy, Hurley insisted that the bill "protects the manufacturers" at the cost of consumers.
Alfonsi did allow two quick sound bites from David Seckman of the Natural Products Association that totaled seven seconds and didn't address any specific claims by Hurley. By contrast, Hurley's two sound bites took up 18 seconds of time.
But Seckman's group is not the only one that takes issue with Hurley and his new book "Natural Causes." On January 16, the Council for Responsible Nutrition, (CRN), a dietary supplement industry trade group, released a statement attacking Hurley's book as based on hyped personal anecdotes in lieu of empirical data.
The book "cannot be considered a credible, scientific work," president Steve Mister was quoted in a CRN press statement. "This is an assortment of extreme anecdotes that exploit rare and tragic misfortunes in an agenda-driven attempt to sell books."
Alfonsi did include two sound bites of Mister in the first segment on supplements that aired on the January 15 "Evening News," but she left out Mister's most damning, specific charge.
"The book includes more than 200 footnotes, but a cursory examination shows the author repeatedly footnotes his own inquiries, other people's opinions and people who spoke anonymously," said the industry trade group president in a press release.
Not only did Alfonsi give short shrift to Mister's complaints, she parroted a horror story from Hurley's book that critics say more regulation would do little if anything to prevent her injury.
In her January 15 "Evening News" story, Alfonsi told viewers about Sue Gilliatt, a woman whose "nose was burned off" by "an herbal paste called bloodroot to treat a pink area on her nose she thought might be cancer."
But writing in a Dec. 15, 2006, article at quackwatch.org, physician Stephen Barrett noted that marketing bloodroot as a cancer cure is already illegal in the United States.
"Salves intended for the treatment of cancers cannot be legally marketed" and the "FDA has banned the importation of all 'black salve' products" including "Bloodroot Paste," noted the retired psychiatrist and vice-president of the National Council Against Health Fraud.
An expert in food and drug law agreed, critiquing Hurley in his Amazon.com book review posted on January 16.
"The real problem is that any topical product such as the one described in this section of Mr. Hurley's book is not a dietary supplement, and cannot be legally sold as one in the United States. By law such products are drugs. If either Mr. Hurley or his editors had bothered to look at the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, they could have avoided this fundamental mistake," wrote Marc S.Ullman, a New York attorney who represents clients "in the dietary supplement/natural products industry."
Even as CBS offered a skewed view of the nutritional supplement industry, the network's in-house media critic lamented that Alfonsi was not biased enough.
"The 'Evening News' gave us two sides of the argument, but it didn't tell us which one was right," complained PublicEye blog Editor Brian Montopoli, formerly of the Columbia Journalism Review.
"When you have someone like Hurley, who bills himself as a dispassionate observer who simply 'looked at what evidence I could find' and reported it, you tend to believe him over representatives of the industry that is being criticized," he explained.

I inspected the vinyl and it had a few nicks and scratches on it, though nothing from normal wear and tear and the sleeve was in great condition.

Express yourself on the web
The biggest of Expression Web's add-ons is the SuperPreview feature.
This allows you to see how your site pages will render in various browsers.
You can select up to eight at a time, including multiple browser resolutions and versions of Internet Explorer (Web 3 fully supports IE 8, so you can update older sites to be compliant with the new Microsoft browser technology). You can view rough comp layouts in an Image View mode, while ASP.NET and PHP web pages are supported by the Expression Development Server, which is installed with Expression Web.
Another add-in is Encoder Express, which allows you to convert video to Silverlight and then simply use Insert > Media > Silverlight to encode it into your page.
The new dockable panels and colour scheme brings Web into line with Design and Blend, while the Snapshot panel replicates the SuperPreview effect in miniature within a docked panel. There's also support for adding media types such as Deep Zoom (though you have to download Deep Zoom Composer separately) and better support for Adobe image formats.
It does need some serious configuration, but the SuperPreview feature is a real timesaver.

Robert Early, NREMT-P/AAS EMS, Redmond Director of Emergency Medical Services has been named the Stanley Payne Memorial Region One EMS Director of the Year by the Region 1 EMS Council. This annual award is given to an EMS leader that demonstrates the highest quality of service, support for employees development and commitment to improve his or her community.
The EMS Director of the Year must be nominated for the award with at least 75% of staff members submitting a form showing their support for the nominee. Nominations are then evaluated by the Region EMS Office and the title is awarded. Early was nominated by an impressive 91% of his staff members.
Early has served as the director for Redmond EMS for the past six years and has worked at Redmond for the past 19 years. Early is responsible for all operations, planning, staffing and financial functions for Redmond EMS in three counties including Floyd, Polk and Chattooga Counties. Prior to his current position, Early worked in several roles at Redmond including EMS Supervisor, Paramedic and EMT.
Early was instrumental in the successful on boarding of Polk EMS and Chattooga EMS to the Redmond EMS team in 2009 and 2011 respectively. The addition of these two great services to Redmond EMS more than doubled Redmond EMS's fleet and staff and tripled Redmond's coverage area. During both transitions, Early proudly led his team in reducing response times, expanding EMS fleets, developing leadership opportunities and integrating EMS into public emergency systems, among many other accomplishments.
"These guys are our heroes! Redmond EMS is saving lives by enhancing the quality and responsiveness of ambulance service in each county we support. I am proud they've been recognized and am especially proud the EMS Council is recognizing the importance of leadership in their selection of Robert as EMS Director of the Year. He is passionate about this vital work and has been an outstanding leader for this fine group of people," says John Quinlivan, FACHE, Redmond Chief Executive Officer.
Director of the Year award is on the heels of Redmond EMS's recent Service of the Year for Region 1 award and the Service of the Year for the State of Georgia award. These were earned for ingenuity in service, speedy response times, progress of the service, community benefit and employee satisfaction.
Outside of work, Early is a volunteer with the Floyd County SWAT team. He also teaches first aid and CPR in the community. He and his wife Sandy have two daughters and reside in Floyd County near Armuchee.

On 20/11/2013, ANZ and Saigon Children's Charity (SCC) announced a three year community education program called Project 3E:educate.enrich.employ. Working in conjunction with Hau Giang Education and Training Department, the project will provide quality education to fight poverty, enrich people's lives and support the employment prospects of more than 4,000 disadvantaged children and young people in Long My district, Hau Giang Province.
Tareq Muhmood, ANZ CEO, Vietnam, said: "Together with SCC and our staff, ANZ Vietnam hopes to raise more than USD600,000 to support this initiative over a three year period. Our aim is to ultimately make sustainable change in the community of Long My, one of the poorest areas in the Mekong Delta."
"ANZ staff in Vietnam and around the world can commit their time, money and other resources to enhance young people's learning and capacity to make a contribution through this community education partnership. We hope to provide some of Vietnam's most marginalised and impoverished young people with access to quality education and life skills, as well as a better and brighter future," Mr Muhmood added.
Paul Finnis, Director of SCC said: "We applaud the outstanding efforts of ANZ to support disadvantaged children in Vietnam, especially to those in Long My, by working in partnership with SCC."
ANZ was among the first international banks to operate in Vietnam, establishing its first office in 1993. ANZ was named the most sustainable bank globally in the 2013 Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
SCC is a UK registered NGO which has been operating in Vietnam for 20 years. We believe that education is the best path for a child and their family out of poverty. We build schools, provide scholarships, provide access to vocational training and support organisations working with children with a disability.
