Wanted: Somebody who knows journalism. Television experience not required.

THIS JUST IN: Hot on the heels of his decisions regarding Don Imus and Virginia Tech, NBC News president Steve Capus has hired a veteran journalist to act as his Jiminy Cricket... and help get those mass murderer photos on line even quicker.

And, to put it bluntly, if crassly: Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson should be pleased, as well...
From: Capus, Steve (NBC Universal)

Landing page templates are essential for any business or individual who wants to display their products and features. A standalone webpage is known as a landing page. It's specially designed to convert users or visitors into leads or customers and used as a component of marketing or pay-per-click campaigns.
