NR Sports & TV Reviews Rule

As the year winds down this month we took a look at the stories published this year that appealed to NR readers. The NR Top 10 columns registered five of the 10 positions and was also the top section visited. The most popular NR Top 10 months were May taking the top spot followed by August and June taking the 2nd and 3rd positions. The two other NR top 10 months were September notching the 5th spot and October taking the 8th position making it our fastest riser of the month.

Our Sports Notes column took three positions on the list topped by September (4th), July (8th) and (6th) and our July Extra edition locked down the 9th spot. Our television review column Video Beat took the remaining two positions. The October Video Beat Max ranked 7th and October EXTRA EXTRA notched the 10th spot.

So what made May so popular? Six of the 10 spots were taken by Video Beat columns featuring a heavy month of decision making on the Apprentice and American idol. Sports made some noise with the top spot that month being a focus on Fabio Capello, Jose Mourinho and David Beckham. When it comes to noting what rocked the boat the most in May we have to rationalize go figure.

With NR Top 10 columns being non specific we took a look at the September Sports Notes column which ranked 4th. That column was about the uproar chain reaction to Ronaldo wanting to leave Man U for Real Madrid. Liuz Filipe Scolari then took away the thunder on his then Portugal International player and dropped the bomb that it is he not Ronaldo who will make all the noise as he revealed to the world after Portugal's 3-1 victory over the Chez Republic by stating that he would be leaving the Portuguese national team to manage Chelsea.

As we've stated in the past Chelsea owner Roman AbRAMOvich (Ramo) isn't Rambo but with that sweet deal of signing Scolari the 41-year-old Russian could certainly be rated in the Rambo category. He hit the big one in pulling off the Scolari signing against some major odds. He made a master stroke and hired perhaps the only available manager on the planet who didn't have to walk in Jose Mourinho's shadow.

The July Sports Notes which took the 6th position focused on the continued uproar on the loyalties of Christiano Ronaldo towards the man who made him the player he is today Sir Alex Ferguson. That column also digs into the Thaksin Shinawatra situation at Manchester City and their interest in Ronaldinho. We suggested that Ronaldinho should make better use of his time and talent rather than get involved with that Thaksin mess. Our opinion proved to be right.

'The Video Beat Max column of October pointed out the new look of Tyra Bank's America's Top Model with a transsexual contestant as well as their first full blooded Asian. That column also takes a look at the Celebrity Apprentice and their no mercy tactics in the Donald Trump world of business. The Amazing Race Asia and USA editions were covered in noting that the Asian edition held all the Trump cards of who they wanted in the race by issuing non elimination rounds for the teams they want and eliminating the teams they dislike. As Mick Jagger sang about life, Ít's a bitch.

Our Sports Notes July Extra column that ranked 9th noted that Ronaldinho took our advice and avoided Thaksin and signed with the A.C. Milan football club. We also took a look at FIFA President Sepp Blatter's remarks about Ronaldo receiving slave wages to which Pele wondered what's wrong with Christian's head. After all was said and done weeks later Blatter denied making the remarks and life went on as we all listened and learned from the famous words of Rodney King who said, "Why can't we all just get along," after the LAPD bashed his head in.

We also looked at the NBA fixed game scandal where a referee was accused of fixing NBA games. At that time he wasn't charged but in September he was sentenced to a short jail term. In the column we noted some of the games in question and linked the stories we wrote at the time the games were played years ago. At that time we thought the calls were incredulous. Years later our suspicions proved to be right but many NBA players who were involved in those games worked in the league for years and retired without winning an NBA title.

But hey, why end on a sour note when we can go light. Now we're talking about races both the presidential and the Amazing (Races USA - Asian). While Barack Obama and John McCain battled it out in televised presidential debates McCain's VP partner Sarah Palin blossomed on to center stage. Her intervention spurred comedian Tina Fey to imitate Pailin on Saturday Night Live. Fey resembles Palin and had her character down to a tee. The presidential race is over but the Sarah Palin jokes are not.

The oldest story was about former NFL (National Football League) player Howie Long. It's about how Long (a poor white boy) made his way out of a Boston ghetto and made a life for himself and a Hall of Fame football player, actor and now a football commentator on television. In case you weren't aware the ghettos in America aren't exclusive for minorities.

This month we'll exclude pointing out what sections were most visited. For those of you in America or wherever who celebrate Thanksgiving enjoy and have a happy one.

NATIONAL RADIO PUBLISHED IN 5 LANGUAGES

National Radio is published in five languages, English, Thai, French, Russian and Khmer (Cambodian language). Any of our foreign language material and our Roman Wanderaugh columns are legally available ONLY on our National Radio site.

In researching the findings we have found that search engines Yahoo, Google and MSN are all guilty of misleading the public. They have linked our story information to other sites without our permission. Those sites include Thai Visa, Washington University in the USA and UNESCO.

We have tried to contact Yahoo regarding this matter but there was no response. For our story on Digital Divide Data titled Bridging The Digital Gap Yahoo linked our information to UNESCO and Washington University web sites as noted below.

Cambodia (PDF) 13 James Loving, "DDD - Bridging the Digital Gap of Have and Have. Notes," (by James Loving, National Radio Text Service, 8 April 8, ... www.unescobkk.org/fileadmin/user_upload/ict/Metasurvey/CAMBODIA.PDF - 117k - View as html

The questions are:

1. Why would a company that is valued at billions of dollars employ dishonest practices?

2. Who is responsible for manipulating information that is misleading to the public?

3. Who is responsible at UNESCO in permitting the practice?

Yahoo used the same story to mislead the public to the Washington University (USA) web site as noted below:

Cambodia (PDF) 13 James Loving, "DDD - Bridging the Digital Gap of Have and Have. Notes," (by James Loving, National Radio Text Service, 8 April 8, ... www.com.washington.edu/ict4d/upload/2004052712430458_03760155.pdf - 117k - View as html WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

Our Roman Wanderaugh columns have been linked to other web sites by all three search engines without our permission. The most flagrant violator is Thai Visa. We have contacted them in the past but they have ignored our request to take our stories off their site.

All three of the mentioned search engines have used our story information and linked it to Thai Visa without our permission. Thai Visa actually stole our story and posted it on their site. In the past they not only stole our Cambodia By Land & Sea story but also used our photo. Since that time the photo is not on our story on their site.

Google provides advertising for the site. The question is why would a company that is worth billions of dollars resort to supporting a web site that steals?

The information of our information page on the Google site also had the following endorsing going to the Thai Visa site. ©2007 Google - Google Home - Advertising Programs - Business Solutions - About Google FRONT PAGE WITH THAI VISA

MSN did the same. They listed incorrect information and linked our work to Thai Visa as noted below:

Thaivisa.com The latest updated Thai visa immigration news; work permit and residence permit in ... Friday, 15 December 2006 Cambodia visa trip "TRAVELING AROUND" by Roman Wanderaugh o www.thaivisa.com/344.0.html o ˇ¤ 7/14/2007 o ˇ¤ Cached page

MSN also listed the headline TRAVELING AROUND on the Cambodia Land & Sea story. It raises the question why was it necessary to make two listings on the same story to link to the Thai Visa site?

Roman Wanderaugh and any other National Radio columns are only legally available on the Internet on National Radio. We DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION for any other web site to use our material including soliciting our photos to the public.

We negotiate directly with interested parties for use. We are published in print in five languages. We do not approve of Thai Visa using our material and all of the search engines misleading the public to other web sites using National Radio information.

Isn't a search engines job to lead the public to the information they seek? It is clearly stated on our National Radio web site:

© Copyright: National Radio. Any use of these materials, whole or in part, is prohibited unless authorized in writing by National Radio. Contact: nationalradio@yahoo.com All rights reserved.

The questions are:

1. Where is the integrity of these companies?

2. Why should people do business with web sites that employ illegal practices?

3. If search engine companies render misinformation regarding linking the public to web sites they aren't searching for while stealing the traffic from the site the public intends to reach does that reflect on the accuracy of the value of their business that could inflate the value of their stock?

4. Is there an ENRON in the house?

We believe that a search engine should take the public to the web sites they are trying to find and not misdirect them. FULL STORY NEXT MONTH.
