What does Iconocast do? We receive health and science press releases from major research institutes, government agencies, and universities daily. These are articles and press releases that are sent to all publishers regularly. Do we also borrow news from other publishers? Yes, we do and so do many other major Internet publishers such as SeattleTimes.com (from almost all publishers), Washingtonpost.com (from all publishers) and CBS News (from WebMD.com and many other websites and blogs). However, contrary to these publishers, Iconocast adds value to the content presented. The new Iconocast technology provides the most accurate updates on important and valuable health and science news inside a (green-border) table (Google News). Are past news or articles worth searching? Yes, we believe past articles are still valuable if they are effectively updated. Majority of these articles are truly timeless.
How does it work for today's article? Before showcasing today's article, the new Iconocast algorithm also presents links to substantially more views, articles, and news inside a Green Border Table in regards to the article on the page. In most cases the first or second links provided by Google News inside the table is to the original source of the article. Most people click on those links and land on the page where the original article is located. Website that participate in Google news and their articles show up in Iconocast have experienced an increase in traffic (also from the back-links or the link popularity that Iconocast provides). If you are not participating in Google news, Google will be happy to consider your site. We also strongly believe the more views and news about the same article, the more information, intelligence, and much more trustworthy is that article. This is an effective way for the reader to expand on the information and make sure that the article has validity and is reliable. Let us examine some examples. Take a look at this article: The Associated Press : Ad gives hot dogs a bum rap, experts say. If you examine both Google News and Google Scholar results, you get much more important news on what really causes colon cancer, what might help, what prevents, and what is more risky than the poor Hot Dogs. Of course we can never compete with a company as larger as the The Associated Press, however, we strongly believe we have justifiably added value over what they are presenting.
Here is another example: Sarah Jessica Parker Removes Trademark Mole. Notice there are more than 100 articles that validate the news about the mole disappearance. After seeing the links to all these 100 article, don't you feel a bit more confident that the mole is really gone? Or check out this one : Miley Cyrus Without Clothes On in the Shower ; is this true? Fake? If you examine the information and news inside the Green Border Table on the page, you will quickly realize they are fake. These two examples and many, many other examples we can bring justify a system of check and balances to examine the validity of what people actually put out on the Internet. One can confidently say that Iconocast is based on our correct system of "Check (- the article) and Balances (- Google News)". No other News Agency provides the same service as Iconocast does. Everyday, Iconocast is viewed, searched and utilized by FBI, CIA, NSA, almost all private background checking agencies, NBC News, Apple Computer, Government News Agencies, Department of Health, CDC, and many other health related websites. What is the significance of our system? To do a quick search in Google News on the relevant keywords of the article, we are able to identify what each article is about by just examining the title of the article. How reliable is our system? Look at this example : How much risk can you handle? Making better investment decisions. The system correctly identifies the keywords: "you + risk + investment" right at the top of the Green Border Table. This is not an easy task. There are just too many other words in that title such as: How + much + can + handle + Making + better + decision. All these words were correctly eliminated. We strongly believe we have achieved something substantial here.
In addition, Iconocast is the very first International Multimedia News Library, providing updated archived news translated to more than 7 languages. It is now well known that satellite dish (tv) and the start of the Internet were very instrumental in break up of the tyrannical regime of Soviet Union. I say why stop there? Why not translate our good values (healthy living, healthy eating, quality arts, book reviews, green living, ..... ) in the western free society for everyone in the world? Compared to racy television programs that are translated today (e.g. Bachelorette, Lipstick Jungle), isn't this a better representation of the western values? Iconocast main focus are health, science, technology, and arts. In some cases we have also collected business, real estate, books review, entertainment, gossip, and
movie review.
Iconocast acts only as a library for these collections. What does it mean by library? It means we do not present these articles on daily basis (contrary to the news we receive from Universities and research institutes; there is no gossip news on today.htm page). We only save them for future reference and of course these articles can always be searched inside Iconocast by using the Google Search below on this page. In reality we recycle the past content (gossips and entertainment news) with today Google News. We do not intend to violate any copyright laws. If we have missed a link to the original article, we will correct this error. Iconocast is the very first Internet Library that is capable of recycling (value added) the past content. Just not too long ago there was a news (gossip) regarding the iPod effect on Heart Pacemaker. Two weeks later it was known that iPod has absolutely no effect on Pacemaker. Iconocast is the only Internet Library that corrected this content (gossip and rumors) by providing recent Google News at the top of the mentioned article which refuted the iPod harm on pacemaker. I wish someone could have calculated the loss to Apple computer for that period of doubt and more important the loss to the society for temporarily losing its trust on one of the best gadgets ever invented. Take a look at this one: Leaked Document Shows Verizon's Psyops Anti-iPhone Propagands. Now if you examine the Google News Table, you get a better, fair and expanded view on iPhone and all the neat things it can do. Isn't this more fair? You also get competitive analysis, and news on future Google Cell Phone Android. This is what we call check, expand, fair, and balance. Because there are so many wild and unchecked information on the Internet, some people joke that WWW stand for Wild Wild Web. We just like to hopefully remove the sarcasms.
I personally love the music of Amy Winehouse. It is a shame how much garbage is written on the Internet about Amy (e.g.:Amy Winehouse's hair extentions harvested from corpse). It is just as if we love to destroy and tear apart personalities and characters if they are famous or talented. We should wait another 100 years until someone with her talents give us enjoyment.
We strongly believe there is a justified opportunity for correcting gossips and false accusations, and it is to the advantage of the society for a healthy rule of mass communication and intelligence. Iconocast can also be used as an instrument that can remove burden of the liability of the shoulders of those who distribute false news and gossips unknowingly. How important is this effort? Recent article such as "Lawsuits Against Bloggers Seen Rising; Since 2004, 159 Court Actions Have Targeted Citizen Journalists for Libel and Other Charges" is a good indication.
In summary, there is really no difference between Iconocast and your city library with one unique advantage that Iconocast adds value by recycling the news with today's content.
And finally, I like to dedicate this website to the loving memory and honor of Tim Russert and his inspiring legacy. Just like us, he loved the News. He used to say if it's Sunday, it's meet the press. We like to say, if it's in the Internet, it is either expanded, updated, validated or refuted in Iconocast, not just in English, but in Spanish, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Italian, ......
A national magazine tells a professor she needs hundreds of permissions to use its cover photos in her class, when in fact, she could claim fair use, which does not require payment or permission. Many teachers want to use YouTube as a teaching tool but aren’t sure if it’s legal, while others warn their students not to post their video assignments to YouTube. Under fair use, both actions are legal.
All manner of content and media is now available online, but fear and misinformation have kept teachers and students from using this valuable material, including portions of films, TV coverage, photos, songs, articles, and audio, in the classroom.
Now, thanks to a coordinated effort by the media literacy community, supported by experts at American University and Temple University, teachers and students have a guide that simplifies the legalities of using copyrighted materials in an academic setting: The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education.
The code, which will be released on Tuesday, November 11, at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, was developed by the National Association for Media Literacy Education, the Action Coalition for Media Education, the National Council of Teachers of English, the Visual Communication Studies Division of the International Communication Association, and the Media Education Foundation. The code was facilitated by Peter Jaszi and Patricia Aufderheide of American University, and Renee Hobbs of Temple University. For information about the November 11 event, email Katie Donnelly at Temple, katie.donnelly@temple.edu.
Educators use copyrighted materials from mass media and popular culture in building students’ critical thinking and communication skills. For example, a teacher might have a class analyze a website or a television ad to identify purpose, point of view, and source credibility. With the rise of digital media tools for learning and sharing, it is more important than ever for educators to understand copyright and fair use.
Fair use, a long-standing doctrine that was specifically written into Sec. 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allows the use of copyrighted material without permission or payment when the benefit to society outweighs the cost to the copyright owner.
“The fair-use doctrine was designed to help teachers and learners, among others,” said Peter Jaszi, director of the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property at American University’s Washington College of Law. “It's one of the best copyright tools teachers have.”
“Finally, copyright confusion among educators will be a thing of the past,” said Hobbs, founder of Temple University’s Media Education Lab and professor of broadcasting, telecommunications and mass media at the university’s School of Communications and Theater. “In an increasingly copyrighted world, the code of best practices clarifies copyright and fair use for educators and students.”
The code, which outlines basic principles for the application of fair use to
media literacy education, articulates related limitations, and examines common
myths about copyright and education, is a follow-up to a 2007 report, The Cost
of Copyright Confusion for Media Literacy. The report found that teachers’ lack
of copyright understanding impairs the teaching of critical thinking and
communication skills. Too many teachers, the report found, react by feigning
ignorance, quietly defying the rules, or vigilantly complying.
The Code
of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education outlines five
principles, each with limitations:
Educators can, under some circumstances:
1. Make copies of newspaper
articles, TV shows, and other copyrighted works, and use them and keep them for
educational use.
2. Create curriculum materials and scholarship with
copyrighted materials embedded.
3. Share, sell, and distribute curriculum
materials with copyrighted materials embedded.
Learners can, under some circumstances:
4. Use copyrighted works in
creating new material.
5. Distribute their works digitally if they meet the
transformativeness standard.
As part of the project, American University’s Center for Social Media produced a video to help teachers and students understand how they can use copyrighted materials. The code, video, and other curriculum materials for educators are available at http://centerforsocialmedia.org/medialiteracy, and http://Mediaeducationlab.com.
Media interested in receiving an embargoed (November 11) copy of the report, contact Micael Bogar at the Center for Social Media, bogar@american.edu. Although the full video will not be available for viewing until November 11, preview/teaser clips are online and ready for viewing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzsvYVdr2iE.
“The best practices approach has worked superbly for other creative communities, such as documentary filmmakers,” said Aufderheide, director of the Center for Social Media, part of AU’s School of Communication. “The code will empower educators to work as creatively as they want to, with a much better understanding of their rights under the law.”
This project was funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, with additional funding from the Ford Foundation.
A schoolgirl who has been left bed-ridden with a serious illness for six
months, was only diagnosed after her mother looked up her symptoms on the
internet.
Danielle Fisher, 13, fell ill in October and doctors were baffled by her
mysterious condition.
Her mother Dominique, 35, took her to the doctors after she began suffering
from viral meningitis-like symptoms, including severe headaches and
fatigue.
Over the next few months, Danielle's condition worsened as her eyes became ultra-sensitive to light and she began suffering from vertigo and shortness of breath.
Danielle Fisher has been left bed-ridden by Lyme Disease after doctors failed to diagnose the condition for six monthsDanielle, from Whitefield, Greater Manchester, attended various doctor and hospital appointments where she was diagnosed with a variety of possible illnesses, including meningitis, Epstein-Bar virus, a tumour and even psychological problems.
Her mother, 35, said, 'She was admitted to hospital a few times, she was in and out for a long time and we got an array of diagnoses which were all wrong.
'She was diagnosed with Epstein-Bar virus, without the glandular fever. Then
meningitis, then the psychiatrist comment was the best one.
'They even suggested it could be a clot or a tumour at one point, which was worrying.
'The last time she was in, the doctor said there's nothing wrong with her, she needs a psychiatrist, which I knew was wrong, the poor girl could hardly walk.'
Frustrated at the lack of an appropriate diagnosis, Dominique, who is an
estate agent, was so worried that she began doing some research herself on the
internet into Danielle's symptoms.
She had severe vertigo and couldn't walk any
more
She was shocked to discover her daughter's illness may have been
caused by a bite from a tick, a tiny spider-like blood-sucking parasite which
usually feeds off animals.
Dominique said, 'I'd begun doing some research myself by then as she had
severe vertigo, couldn't walk any more and had severe muscle and joint
pain.
'I came across Lyme Disease and it just seemed to fit. There's a lot of
controversy over the treatment of the disease and over diagnosing the
disease.
'I took Danielle to see a professor in Newcastle privately and he diagnosed
her with Lyme Disease and three core infections. That's why she was so
ill.
'If it hadn't have been diagnosed, she could have become paralysed or
blind.'
Danielle's condition was diagnosed as borreliosis, also known as Lyme Disease
in April. If left untreated, it can cause nerve damage, paralysis and blindness.
The Manchester schoolgirl is now taking several courses of antibiotics to
treat the condition but it is feared she may never fully recover.
'If she had been diagnosed straight away, it would have been a course of six weeks of antibiotics but now she's on heavy antibiotics. It's gone past the blood-brain barrier,' Danielle's mother said.
'Thankfully she is now on a course of treatment and we are just hoping as
much as we can that she will get better. On one extreme she could be better in
weeks and on the other extreme she might always be like she is now. '
Dominique added: 'Danielle is fed up. She's lost a lot of weight, she's
miserable and she just wants to be better. She just wants to be back at school
and with her friends.'
The disease has seen a fivefold increase in Britain in the past decade.
'It's staggering that this has been caused by one bite. Danielle is literally bed-ridden. She can barely walk because she is so weak and she gets tired really easily.
'This disease is a lot more common than people think and I just want to make people aware of it.'
'It can happen anywhere in the UK. There seems to be quite a lot of it in certain big parks. It's like an unlucky lottery, it can happen to anyone.'
Wendy Fox, Chairperson and Director of BADA (Borreliosis and Associated
Diseases Awareness UK) said: 'Doctors need to be much more aware of early signs
and symptoms, the fact that ticks can carry more than one infection concurrently
and the fact that rashes can differ to those in medical journals."
Currently the only defence against Lyme Disease in the UK is wearing sensible clothing, using repellent and being aware of possible symptoms.
This is no surprise to me. I had a similar struggle with
the NHS. All the symptoms of a rare form of meningitis, but "too rare to
consider" and I "must be imagining the symptoms" due to "spending too much time
on the Internet". After threatening legal action, I finally received tests and
treatment, but only after suffering months of veiled insults and struggling in
pain, plus a much longer recovery time. No apologies and ruined tests meant no
legal proof.
A friend had a similar experience. Two years of being told
that his pains were "all in his head" and "to loose weight", finally he was
x-rayed and there was a large tumour.
In my opinion it's down to the of
sheer arrogance of many doctors, combined with government targets - 'pains' and
'mystery diseases' have no targets so doctors just aren't interested in
investigating them.
At least Danielle's mother was strong enough not to
accept the doctor's waffle.
I hope that Danielle soon makes a full
recovery.
- Baz, London, UK, 16/7/2008 12:52
My Mother had a similar experience some years ago when she became seriously ill after a trip to America. After months and months of different diagnosis and treatments for pneumonia, arthiritis, flu, and other ailments, she finally was diagnosed with Lyme's Disease. Although she responded well to treatment, her health has not been the same since. I sympathise with Danielle and her family, it is a worrying time just not knowing what is wrong. I wish her all the best for a full recovery.

However, even if we think we are ok using your news material...and you don't think it is ok...We still like happy authors!
If an author or news source wants us to completely eliminate or drop a link to a particular article, we will be happy to delete and/or drop the link immediately.
Send the request and the link you want removed to: info@liveinfospace.com
On many "big news" days the same article may appear in different newspapers around a country. We try to vary the sources. We leave out many duplicate articles unless it appears to be the main interest of the day and then we might give varying views from around the world. At times we find older news articles that are interesting. We don't like the idea of publishing old news, but the world is very big and it's exciting when we locate information from unique world sources. The date of original web publication is added to the by-line.
After a period of time that varies around the world, link decay starts, and the links do not work. This is normal. Based on this fact, trying not to point to a Page Not Found..... we have decided to present the link (http://............) and not make it active.
In allowing for fair use of copyrighted material--for reporting news,
conducting research, and teaching--without need to obtain the copyright
holder's permission, the U.S. Copyright Law says that fair use is
determined in a particular case by considering (1) the purpose and
character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial
nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the
copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used
in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of
the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

My heart goes out to them. My son became ill with what the doctors (without seeing him) diagnosed as sun stroke. Three days later he was seriously ill with meningitis-like symptoms, so I took him to A&E. He had an infection in the blood, which took the doctors TWO weeks to realise had spread to his heart, causing infective endocarditis. My advice is to trust your instincts and insist on further tests. My son eventually had to have open heart surgery to replace a damaged valve. This might have been repaired if it had been caught earlier. He is only 18 years old.
