<h2>PKS prods govt over antigraft drive</h2>
<cite>Jakarta Post</cite>, 01 August 2005
<p>Wrapping up its week-long national conference on Sunday, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) criticized President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's administration for its less than satisfactory performance in fighting corruption and enforcing the rule of law.

However, the party also said that the policies being carried out by the current administration were still tolerable as the economy was not reverting to pre-crisis conditions.

The use of a self-registration based community website is a relatively new thing for the webmasters of the world. For example, in the past, using static html pages, a typical "labor of love" webmaster was forced to create all of his/her content on a continuous basis, costing a great deal of time and effort if you wanted a current, clean and exciting web experience.

The [Jacksonville] City Council's now notorious green room had members of the city's Ethics Commission seeing red earlier this week. Well, if not exactly red, pretty darn close.

The commissioners were reacting to news reports about how the green room is used, or perhaps abused.

The room is adjacent to the City Council chambers and is accessible through the chambers and through a side door at the front of City Hall that is locked.

<p>This time last spring, the tension in Lake County political circles used to build like a lottery jackpot each week before Friday news conferences hosted by U.S. Attorney Joseph Van Bokkelen.
