TGR: BMORENEWS.com: We’re International, Baby!
(INTERNATIONAL – April 2, 2009) - Hello! Wzup! Salaam Alaikum! Shalom! Bon Jour! Hola! Jambo! Yakshemash! Ni hao! Konnichiwa! Namaste! Zdravstvuyte! Ciao! Indimina!
BMORENEWS.com, DC and Baltimore’s one-stop-shop for news and information – especially when it comes to black political economy, is proud to announce that visitors from some 79 different countries logged-on to our site in March. These countries included the Faroe Islands, Namibia, Finland, Hong Kong, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, New Zealand, and Finland.
Mind you, this is nothing new!
As a continual student of international affairs and journalism, nothing warms the heart more than seeing that one’s work is noticed, if not appreciated, worldwide.
On this note, an important lesson I’ve learned is that a business’ product(s) and/or service(s) ought be formed and developed with the global market in mind. After all, modern technology increasingly has made the world so much smaller. We can do things today via the computer or a blackberry that we never even dreamed of years ago.
At www.bmorenews.com, while we are based 45 minutes from the most politically charged jurisdiction in the world, we also realize that we receive friends and visitors on our site from all over the world.
To those international visitors: We pray that we do a respectable job in telling our story. For better or for worse, we do strive arduously and diligently to present an accurate picture of our surroundings and the happenings.
Further, we encourage even more visitors from far away places to take a peek at what we have to offer. Hopefully, we are doing our part to help bridge the gaps caused by language, geographic locales, and cultural differences. Truth be told, every single person is important! Everybody!
We are www.bmorenews.com, the news before the news where we uncover the truth!

TGR: Guest Editorial: Heroes Will Emerge! By Armstrong Williams:
The continuing embarrassing situation became a desperate matter for Ms. Gallo in the Rhode Island public school system. The shameless teachers and administrators boasted an average salary of $72,000 - $78,000 a year in a town where the average salary was only $22,000.Thankfully, Ms. Gallo became fed up and demanded that student results become a priority for these hypocritical and selfish teachers and demanded six changes that she knew would turn around the unaccountability of that school. These changes included: Being subjected to new standards of professional evaluations, adding 25 minutes to the work day, meeting with other professionals weekly for planning sessions, eating lunch with students one day a week, a two-week training session in the summer, and tutoring, occasionally: All of which I am shocked were not a priority and demanded from these teachers in the first place.

CMS or what?:
Recently, I've had several conversations with clients on the benefits of moving their web sites to a web content management system or CMS. I currently use Wordpress for my web site, but I have also used Joomla, Drupal, Expression Engine, and Simple Updates. For a list and description of some popular CMS software go to CMS Critic, this by no means lists every system, but it does a good overview of many systems. I am a big fan of open-source CMS, but as long as you use one, it will be a good step in the right direction. Read in Full >>

TGR: Walk to Cure Diabetes by Lakrisha White:
My son, Jay, has been living with type 1 diabetes for a little over a year now. He's managing his diabetes with an insulin pump. Last fall he met with Senator Mikulski as part of JDRF's Promise to Remember Me Campaign. The campaign consists of coordinated meetings where children and teen diabetics are able to share their personal stories face-to-face with members of Congress so lawmakers can hear first hand about living with type 1 diabetes. The meetings ensure that research funding continues to be expanded and the needs of those with diabetes are included in legislation. Read in Full >>
TGR: Will Leronia Josey Make County History?:
Baltimore County Councilman Ken Oliver could have his hands full this election season - that is, if Ms. Josey decides to put her bid in for his seat. While Oliver is the first black to serve on the County Council, a loss to Josey would make her the first black woman to serve on the Baltimore County Council - a crew that consists mostly of white males. Move over, guys!
A black president; a possible black governor; seems only logical to me.
