    I like the design. It would probably look better if you just take out the adsense ad above your logo because it looks too cluttered. IMO. Otherwise it's pretty cool!

    Replace all those graphic ads with one Adsense textbanner. Otherwise, people with get disfocused and browse away from it.

    1) Those two "Coming soon" boxes - what are they?

    2) I agree with NRLMedia about the top banner ad, although for a different reason. I thought this was your logo, not an ad. I wasn't about to click on it. Note: I didn't read the image, I just glanced at it, said mentally "logo" and skipped it.

    3) I disagree with latehorn on one of the ads - I think the small ad in the "ADVERTISEMENT" box is well placed.

    4) The "Bookmark" and "Home page" links/text: are they really necessary? Honestly, I despise these with extreme bias, so ...

    5) Two Google search bars? on one page? I was expecting to search on your site, using the first input box - however, this did a Web search. Only after doing my first search did I notice the (hidden / buried) Keywords field ...

    6) I was expecting Video to give me news-related video - not Music Videos.

    7) Finally, :), does http://news.tranix.net/sitemap.html really go back to the Home page?

    Otherwise, despite using a number of tables, and both inline and external CSS, I really do like it. It's readable and fairly easy to navigate.

    Great site content and concept. The log is a bit hard to read. I agree that adsense needs to be sorted out better for any revenue to be generated. The site has some navigation issues, too. Keep working, listed to the feedback and good luck with the site.
