New reporters should visit...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>This thread will explain how to be a news reporter and setup your Google Adsense so you can get paid.<br />
<br />
<u><b>HOW-TO:</b></u><br />
New reporters should visit various sports related websites looking for football, baseball, hockey and basketball news for both pro and college teams.<br />
<br />
Once you find a new article you will need to create a new thread in the proper news forum.<br />
<br />
The title can be copied over from the article as is. For the body of the article, you should only copy over about 500 characters, <b>with no formatting</b>, and paste them into the body of the thread. No formatting means no HTML tags such as; links, bold, italic, or line breaks. The easiest way to remove formatting is to open up notepad and paste the text into their first then past the text into the thread body box.<br />
<br />
Each news piece will need to be sourced. Here is an example below:<br />
<b>Source: <a href="http://www.espn.com" target="_blank">ESPN.com</a></b><br />
<br />
As you can see the Source text is bolded with the link going directly to the news source. Make sure the link text is name of the site.<br />
<br />
The last important part of posting a news story is the <b>Attachment</b>. Stories with attachments will be placed into the news flipper as well as the list of the 15-20 most recent news stories. If you know how to crop out images from the web using Photoshop or some other image editing program, the min width and height is 550px x 350px.<br />
<br />
If you do not have photoshop or do not know how to use those types of programs, then find an image bigger that 550px x 350px. <a href="http://images.google.com" target="_blank">Google Images</a> is a good source for images.<br />
<br />
<u><b>GOOGLE ADSENSE:</b></u><br />
This is the perk of being a New Reporter. The more new you report, the more chance you will have to make some $$$.<br />
<br />
Obviously, the first thing you will need to do is create a <a href="https://www.google.com/adsense/g-app-single-1" target="_blank">Google Adsense Account</a>.<br />
<br />
Once you create an account please follow these steps:<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal"><li>Click the &quot;Adsense Setup&quot; tab at the top of the page.</li>
<li>Click on the &quot;Adsense for Content&quot; link once the page loads.</li>
<li>Click the &quot;Continue&quot; button because &quot;Ad Unit&quot; and &quot;Text and Image Ads (default)&quot; is selected by default.</li>
<li>Select &quot;728 x 90 Leaderboard&quot; for the format option.</li>
<li>Enter &quot;738FBF&quot; for the Border # option.</li>
<li>Enter &quot;22229C&quot; for the Title # option.</li>
<li>Enter &quot;F5F5FF&quot; for the Background # option.</li>
<li>Enter &quot;000000&quot; for the Text # option.</li>
<li>Enter &quot;008000&quot; for the URL # option.</li>
<li>Select &quot;Verdana&quot; for the Font Family option.</li>
<li>Select &quot;Medium&quot; for the Font Size option.</li>
<li>Select &quot;Very Rounded&quot; for the Corner Style option.</li>
<li>Select &quot;Fill space with solid color&quot; for the Alternate Ads or Color option.</li>
<li>Enter &quot;F5F5FF&quot; in the box that appears.</li>
<li>You can setup a channel if you want to add for reporting purposes or you can just click the &quot;Continue&quot; button to skip this step.</li>
<li>You can change the name of the ad unit. This is for reporting purposes.</li>
<li>Copy and paste the code on the next step and send me a PM or send it in an email to <a href="mailto:support@sportsrumormill.com">support@sportsrumormill.com</a></li>
</ol>All adsense codes are setup manually through the admin of vBulletin. Once you code is in place it will automatically be added to the ad unit below all your reported news stories.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>DENVER, Colorado (Reuters) - Ben Roethlisberger's three second-half touchdown passes and a stingy defense helped the Pittsburgh Steelers ease to a 28-10 victory over the Denver Broncos on Monday. The Steelers returned to action after a bye week and limited the Broncos to just 27 rushing yards in winning a fifth consecutive game, as the Super Bowl champions continue to look more like the team that powered to the NFL title in February. The victory moved Pittsburgh (6-2) into a tie with the Cincinnati Bengals at the top of the AFC North and in position to lift a third straight division title.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount, who was suspended for the season after punching a Boise State player in the wake of the season opener, has been allowed to rejoin the Ducks. The university requested Blount's reinstatement, which was approved by Pacific-10 Conference Commissioner Larry Scott on Monday. Blaount will be able to play for the Ducks (No. 13 BCS, No. 14 AP) on Saturday night when they host Arizona State. He missed eight games.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>NEW YORK -- All 27 active judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals may take the unprecedented step of rehearing the baseball drug list case, which could delay a final resolution until at least 2011 and possibly later. In a one-sentence order last Wednesday, Chief Judge Alex Kozinski asked lawyers to submit briefs by Nov. 25 addressing whether the case should be heard by the full court. That day is also the deadline for the federal government to ask the Supreme Court to review the long-running dispute, although the Justice Department could request an extension.<br />

				Las Vegas, Nov 9 (THAINDIAN NEWS) At the last week’s Latin Grammy Awards many musicians won many awards but the showstopper of the lot was <b>Sammy Sosa</b> with his skin akin to Michael Jackson. His pictures were clicked and they made numerous rounds of the Internet world with everybody wondering that, “What happened to Sammy Sosa?” In these photos, Sammy Sosa’s skin appears multiple shades lighter than usual, leading to all sorts of Internet speculation.<br />
 “He’s not trying to be Michael Jackson,” former Chicago Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis, who talks frequently with Sosa, told the Chicago Tribune.<br />
 “He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin. Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of [the photo appearance] is just the lighting.” Polihronis said Sosa told her the photos are deceiving.<br />
 It is also being speculated by some fans have that Sosa’s rampant steroid use in the ’90s and 2000s could be the reason behind this.<br />

				The No. 1 argument for Cincinnati getting a shot at the BCS title is this: If you run the table while playing in a BCS conference, you deserve a chance. Period. End of story. <br />
<br />
Of course, that argument would be harder to make if a team didn't play anybody or belonged to a weak conference. That's not the deal with the No. 5 Bearcats. <br />
<br />
As much as people want to knock the Big East, all you have to do is look at the BCS standings. The league has four teams ranked this week. It also has two Top 10 teams in the three major human polls. This conference is legitimately tough, and if Cincinnati can navigate through the Big East unscathed then it is a championship-quality team. <br />
<br />
The Bearcats also own victories over two ranked teams in the BCS standings, both on the road, beating Oregon State and South Florida by double digits in both games. <br />
<br />
Before Saturday, Cincinnati had let only one opponent come within 10 points all year, and that was in a game (a 28-20 win over Fresno State) in which Brian Kelly was trying to make do with a severely banged-up secondary. Yes, the 47-45 win over Connecticut exposed some flaws, but every major championship contender has had a scare. Alabama needed a spate of missed field goals to beat Tennessee. Florida barely survived Arkansas at home on some questionable calls. Texas beat Oklahoma by three in an ugly game. <br />
<br />
Kelly's offense, which produced 711 total yards against UConn, is an unstoppable force. But the Bearcats are more than just a run-and-gun team, despite Saturday's result. They rank in the top 15 of the FBS in the following stats: passing efficiency (1), tackles for loss (1), sacks (3), turnover margin (3), total offense (3), scoring offense (5), passing offense (6), kickoff returns (10), punt returns (12), sacks allowed (12) and scoring defense (15). <br />
<br />
In other words, this is a complete team that has done everything it has needed to do. And a team that deserves a chance to play for the national championship.
