Who Killed the Webmaster?
XorNand writes "With the explosive growth of the Web in the previous decade, many predicted the birth of a new, well-paying, and in-demand profession: the Webmaster. Yet in 2007, this person has somehow vanished; even the term is scarcely mentioned. What happened? A decade later I'm left wondering: Who killed the Webmaster?"
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Monkeyfilter community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
NIGGER RAPES DOG
(Newark - WABC, January 17, 2007) - The Associated Humane Societies and the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have each offered a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of a person who apparently sodomized a dog in Newark.
Officials say the Associated Humane Societies rescued a 10-month-old female dog who had been sodomized by a local resident.
Eyewitness News reporter Anthony Johnson has more.
The peaceful 10-month old puppy is walking gingerly, but is making progress following an act of animal cruelty that is almost unthinkable.
The staff at the Garden State Veterinary Specialists has given this young pit bull the name Kate, and workers have filled her cage in the intensive care unit with comfortable pillows. Doctors are keeping a close eye on Kate's progress. She's being treated with antibiotics and for internal bleeding, but her prognosis appears to be improving.
"She's not out of the woods yet, but she's marketedly better than she was," Doctor Tom Scavelli said.
The Associated Humane Societies admits the traumatized animal was close to death when she first arrived at their Newark location on Tuesday afternoon.
They say Kate was discovered almost lifeless inside the Seth Boyden housing complex. Residents of the apartments are stunned to hear about this awful act of brutality.
"People have no heart," an area resident said.
The shelter is now being swamped with calls of concern, and they've even received a E-mail from a soldier in Iraq who offered to pay for the Kate's medical bills.
Witnesses to this awful, cruel, unthinkable attack have refused to say who is behind the crime. Now, a $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible.
"We have two people who saw this terrible act, but no information on the perpetrator," said Roseann Trezza, Executive Director of the Associated Humane Societies. "This is a horrendous crime of bestiality and it cannot go unpunished."
"The dog was terrified and...totally traumatized," Trezza added. "Her body temperature had dropped, she was bleeding and efforts were made to stabilize her and warm her up before she was taken to Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls."
If the perpetrator is found guilty, penalties range from up to $7,500 in fines and 18 months behind bars.

What I cannot stand is people like you who claim to be representative of the industry, yet seek to damage it by chopping a rung off the bottom each time it ascends the future-bound ladder.
Don't you realise that your narrow minded perceptions of technological capabilities are simply that? Narrow. That's the keyword the search engines will pick up. That means that if you were a public figure, you would be wrongly quoted as stating computational limitations for the reason we ought stay in the past. Then people will laugh at you.
They will laugh at you, regardless of the fact that you may indeed be a beautiful human being, capable of all the emotions that clouded your judgement and caused you to issue such statements against Flash.
A very good friend of someone I once knew told me he had done extensive work in flash, and he had included graphics, moving images, and text in his website. If that isn't the sweet song of tomorrow, then I must be tuned into the wrong station.
