PRIME MINISTER Julia Gillard's attempts to keep the election campaign moving forward were dragged straight back to 2004 yesterday when former Labor leader Mark Latham confronted her at Brisbane's Ekka show and deployed the death-grip handshake famously used on former prime minister John Howard during the previous election campaign.

Mr Latham, now working for a television news program, demanded to know why Ms Gillard was complaining about his new job instead of having a dig at Mr Rudd whom he accused of undermining her bid to maintain power.

It was another awkward moment for the Prime Minister who spent the morning trying to present a united front at a carefully staged event with another former Labor leader and the man she dumped, Kevin Rudd. FULL STORY: Page 6.

An interesting comparison between architecture and web design .

It pinpoints the importance of pre-construction planning for both architecture and web design .

For the news website , it is important to provide a clear structure about “what” , “when” , “where” ,”who” and “how” , architects have to arrange the relationship between different news and enable the reader could find different news efficiently .

It requires a lot of pre-construction planning and modification .

There is an interesting interpretation about how to create an effective information architecture by means of explaining the relationship between the business , content and the user .

It mentions about the consequence of fail to apply information architecture to the website and the common problems when architecture apply it.

A very worth-reading essay which provides a deep understanding to the topic .
