News & Documentaries in a YouTube Era: LinkTV Launches World ...

This was a good point -- it also made me laugh -- so let's start off with Michael Gowan's lede for his TechNewsDaily piece today:

Web surfers have instant access to more news videos than ever before, but quantity doesn't equal quality -- especially when it comes to finding informed sources of world news. Maybe that's why people spend so much time watching cat videos.

I love cat videos, too (especially this looped GIF), but there's only so much I can take before I'm bored and seeking something more substantive. That's why it's great to be working at KCET, where I sit near the minds that create the in-depth videos behind "SoCal Connected" and Artbound, to name a couple.

Now that KCET has announced its merger with LinkTV, there's even more to be excited about in this regard. Today LinkTV announced the release of a major project a long time in the making: the LinkTV World News App. It's a free iPad app that brings together the best of broadcast world news reporting from over 125 news outlets.

It also features raw video taken by the public as events unfold, a very important and recent development in news, as highlighted by this Link video:

In addition to videos and their descriptions, the app uses semantic technology to surface short, relevant encyclopedic entries (marked as Topics) and related articles from over 50,000 international news sources.

Then there's the documentary tab for longer-form looks at issues. I just opened the app up and the first one is the 102-minute "Barack Obama: Great Expectations" about his first term in office. Next to that is Vice's hour-long giude to the Balkans (54 minutes) and next to that is the half-hour documentary that explores whether Miss Tibet actually highlights the country's issues or not.

And lastly, my favorite: the My Link tab. On any video you watch in the app, click the "Follow this topic" in any encyclopedic entry under a video and it becomes part of your own curated page. I'm currently following California, Anonymous, Hurricane Sandy, and the U.S. Presidential Election.

So, all that said, this is worth a download. And, hey, it's free! Give it a whirl here and let us know what you think (also, if you have Google TV, there's a basic version of the app that can be downloaded here).

Ghost stories part of the White House?s legacy

The White House is the best-known residence in the nation, and a few of its famous residents are rumored to be long-term tenants.

Andrew Jackson - a reported White House spirit

Ghost stories have been part of the executive mansion?s heritage for over a century, and as we approach Halloween, let?s take a look at the top stories passed down from people who claimed to have bumped into some departed presidents and others.

1. Lincoln?s ghost

There may have been more sightings of Abraham Lincoln?s spirit than presidents who inhabited the White House, and some reports seem to be in jest.

But there are a lot of reports from workers at the White House and even Winston Churchill that they bumped into Lincoln wandering the building years after his death.

Lincoln was shot at Ford?s Theater in 1865 and died at a nearby boarding house. But it is his spirit that is reportedly stuck at the White House, where he planned the Civil War and had started planning reconciliation when he was killed just days after Robert E. Lee?s surrender.

The most famous Lincoln story is from Churchill, who was staying at the residence after World War II, the British leader had just emerged from a bath, wearing nothing and smoking a cigar. He reportedly met the late president.

?Good evening, Mr. President. You seem to have me at a disadvantage,? Churchill allegedly said. He also refused to stay in the room after the encounter.

2. Jackson?s ghost

Another famous president who still could be seeking a longer term in the White House is Andrew Jackson.

The reported encounters with Old Hickory are not sightings but hearings. And what people reportedly hear from Jackson is a lot cursing from the 19th-century president.

One person who believed Jackson?s spirit remained in the White House was Mary Todd Lincoln, who held regular s?ances there after her son, Willie, died.

There was also a reported Jackson encounter during the administration of President Dwight Eisenhower.

3. Abigail Adams

John Adams? wife only stayed at the White House for a few months as its first occupant, along with her husband. Thomas Jefferson was the first president to spend a full term at the residence.

But some people believe Abigail Adams returns for an occasional visit to supervise the laundry.

Mrs. Adams used the East Room to hang out her laundry in 1800. A sighting of her was reported there during the Taft administration about 112 years later, when an apparition was seen carrying clothes in its arms.

4. Dolley Madison

The irrepressible Dolley Madison is best known today for rescuing the Gilbert Stuart painting of George Washington from the White House before the British burned it down during the War of 1812.

But in ghost lore, she?s best known for reportedly encountering two gardeners during the Wilson administration a century later.

First Lady Edith Wilson asked the two to move the fabled Rose Garden, which Madison had created and nurtured.

The gardeners were reportedly met by an angry Dolley.

Today, the Rose Garden remains where Dolley Madison wanted it.

5. The British fire starter

The most traumatic incident in White House history was its destruction by British troops in 1814. A royal soldier apparently died in the attack after he helped set fire to the White House, and there are reports he occasionally returns to finish the job.

One incident was reported a few years after the Truman-era restoration, where the spirit was seen trying to set a bed on fire.

Also, there was a major fire in the West Wing during the Hoover administration on Christmas Eve in 1929.

Officially, it was a clogged fireplace flue that stared the blaze.

Even today, recent White House staffers reported hearing strange noises late at night in the White House. But there?s one president who probably hasn?t come back for a guest appearance.

James Buchanan openly tired of being president as the Civil War grew near.

?If you are as happy in entering the White House as I shall feel on returning to Wheatland, you are a happy man indeed,? Buchanan said just before leaving office in 1861.

Dana White is a really good tipper

UFC president Dana White is known as many things: entrepreneur, visionary, hothead, Pinkberry fan. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, he also deserves the title great tipper.

White and the UFC have apparently cut ties with the Palms, the Las Vegas Casino that has hosted several of the UFC's smaller events. White's credit line was reportedly cut, and the biggest loser from the fallout is the staff. White was known to give exorbitant tips to dealers and waitstaff.

"He changed people's lives," said one of the sources ... During one two-month hot streak, White tipped dealers more than $100,000, sources confirmed. "Anytime he came in, we knew it was a big payday," a Palms employee said.

The Palms and UFC fans are also losers in this because their venues were fun places to watch fights. They have intimate venues that are nothing like the arenas the UFC uses for some of their bigger pay-per-views and Fox shows.

It was perfect for "The Ultimate Fighter" finale and Ultimate Fight Night events. Fans could get closer to the action. Diego Sanchez's memorable win over Clay Guida sticks out as one of the fights that was perfect for the Palms. Every punch, every blood drop that flew, every kick was clear to every fan in the venue.

Forex Traders: different profiles have different objectives by John ...

Currency trading can provide a significant source of income for some professional traders. But for other investors, foreign exchange transactions are simply an additional source of income that allows them to invest their hard earned money. With the growing popularity of currency trading, more and more individuals seek to use forex trading as an alternative investment vehicle, in a sense replacing stock market trading.

There are several types of traders in the foreign exchange market:

The first type of trader is the full-time professional trader. The majority of these traders are day trading, they invest in the Forex on a daily basis and are sometimes scalpers who profit from small movements of currency pairs using high leverage. These seasoned traders have extensive experience that allows them to develop effective forex trading strategies.

The second type of Forex trader does not really have time to do forex trading on a daily basis. These investors either do not have the time to monitor the financial markets themselves or are essentially long-term traders who wage their ?bets? on large forex movements. They do not really care about small foreign exchange fluctuations and trade with little leverage.

The third type of forex traders are slowly emerging in the world of forex investing, they prefer to let managers manage their accounts for them. These investors do not have time to study the financial markets themselves, but are well informed about the possibilities of profit or losses that may quickly occur in the forex market.

There are other types of traders who are not in the list because they are not individuals, such as hedge funds, brokers or hedgers who protect themselves to ensure a fixed price for their productions.

If you are interested in investing money on the forex market, make sure to set clear investment objectives. You must not only determine the amount you are willing to invest, but also the time that you can afford to devote to the study of trading. Your psychological profile and personality must determine your trading style.

Before you begin trading, you should make a short checklist containing, at the very least, the following: 1) define your trading strategy (hedging? scalping? trading with the trend? trying to identify tops and bottoms?), 2) find a broker that meets your requirements (for example, you may want a broker that allows scalping, or that allows you to trade mini-lots, or that lets you trade metals and commodities as well as currency pairs) and 3) make sure that the broker is licensed and accredited by a regulatory body (for example: the FSC in the Republic of Mauritius).
