submitted by flavum 17 hours 56 minutes ago (via americablog.blogspot.com)

Someone, on behalf of FOX News, reportedly gave Middle Eastern terrorists $2m to buy the release of FOX's hostage reporters. The terrorists now say they used the money to buy weapons to kill Israelis. FOX says "it's possible" the story is true. What was the Bush administration's role? Did they pay the ransom to terrorists? Did they know about it? More…

Sectarian Fury Turns Violent in Wake of Iraq Shrine Blast - New York Times

It seems that the potential for Iraq to have a comparable or worse outcome than the legacy of Vietnam is becoming real. If Iraq slides into civil war there is no easy way for the U.S. to extricate itself and we will keep sliding on this slippery slope.Sectarian Fury Turns Violent in Wake of Iraq Shrine Blast - New York Times

How to Stage Your Home to Sell for More Money

Staging is a critical stage of proper marketing when putting a house on the market. If a seller is going to spend time preparing for an open house, creating signage, print materials and getting listed then they should also make sure to stage their home. Not only can this help to ensure a higher sale price, but can prevent your home from sitting. A well staged home has warmth and appeal that unstaged homes lack.How to Stage Your Home to Sell for More Money

ABC News: Prefab Housing Goes Fab

The reason I posted about Nightline is that they have had two recent stories on Pre-Fab home building. This seems like the future of housing for some. Buy your land and then put a very inexpensive, but high quality prefab home on it.

ABC News: Nightline

The new nightline format is not an improvement in my opinion. Now instead of having insightful interviews on the most important topics of the day, they are doing a mini magazine with 3 stories.

Why would they tamper with a proven formula which worked for the last twenty-five years? Also, the new anchor is no Ted Koppell. ABC News: Nightline
