After clicking on it a few more times, I finally used Google to find out whether there was a name change for this first-ever African-American focused search engine.

American Idol: Why Traditional Marketing?s ROI Is Increasingly Questionable
2009-10-10 11:50:00 It's taken a singing competition to underscore the importance of measurable ROI.

Specifically, I pointed to the record numbers of voters--the majority ...

African-American Chicago Entrepreneurs inspire potential new business owner

Wimberly II, and met so many women business owners and aspiring women business owners, including fashion experts, internship recruiters, lawyers, health experts and bank owners. When I was in college, I helped write and edit a business plan for a Chicago music company called MidWest Incorporated, and the more I talked to the owner, Phillip Cavil Sr., the more intrigued I became at owning my own business someday. And my favorite restaurant in all of Chicago is Quench!, owned by Quentin Love. I'm fascinated with those who are brave enough to branch out and start their own company--from hiring employees to...

The American Prophet Micheal Moore Profits From CAPITALISM: A Love Story
2009-09-18 14:15:00 Here we go Again. Yet another inner view with Micheal Moore getting accused of making money from a system that he decries is unfair to all and evil. When will he ever shut up and go away? When will he ever quit doing what he does so well, and that is make true docu/mockumentaries about the American Way. He's been doing this for 20 years now. All his films have been right on the American money and come true. All his films have been renowned around the globe for their truthiness. The prophet has made a profit and American capitalists try to paint him as greedy as they are. They try to put him in their boat with them and throw away the key. "Shut Up" you made your money. Now go away. This is their fondest hope. That Micheal Moore would just go away. Usually in the American money system this means "Don't go away mad,(without any money) just go away". "Please for the Love of God and Money, just Go the fuck away Micheal Moore."Nobody upon will ever be able to prove that Micheal Moore...

British Sports Cars and American Hot Rods Travel to VT This Weekend
2009-09-16 17:08:00 I just posted a few photos from the 2007 British Invasion on Flickr to give you a small sampling of what this car show is about. As mentioned in my September 6 blog entry below, there will be hundreds of beautiful British cars from old to new. The British Invasion web site has more details. My friends from the Classic Bike Experience will be there as well to display some British Motorcycles. The Boston Sunday Globe named this event as their number one choice for "Best 10 things to do within a day's drive of Boston." And the Vermont Chamber of Commerce has named it several years in a row as a Top Ten Event in Vermont. The event will be held at the Stowe Events Field on Weeks Hill Road, just off Route 108. It runs this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On the same weekend, there's a very large street rod show at the Champlain Expo Center put on by the National Street Rod Association.

Ellen on American Idol - Yes!
2009-09-10 20:53:00 Fox scored big this time with the ultimate replacement. Paula Abdul is out; Ellen DeGeneres is in. Check out Maureen Ryan's "The Watcher" article on the switcheroo. As much as I claim not to like American Idol, I watch the show every week, grumbling about how tired the script is. The formula: audition, embarrassment, tear jerking human interest vignettes, and "you're going to Hollywood." But I keep watching and listening to mediocre singers around the U.S. Pathetic, yet entertaining. Ellen DeGeneres: PR Newswire Ellen will add a spark to the line-up with her brand of "comedic" sharp-tongue, dance moves, and her daytime audience in tow. She and Simon will probably have a wonderful chemistry and I can't wait for her...

Is Ellen DeGeneres the right choice to judge 'American Idol'?
2009-09-10 05:24:00 Would Ellen DeGeneres be a better judge on "So You Think You Can Dance?" Ellen DeGeneresInstead, the talk show host with a habit for hoofing will join "American Idol" in January as the fourth judge, replacing Paula Abdul on the panel with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi. I guess "Idol" was never completely about the music, was it? DeGeneres will bring the funny, and she'll likely be the voice of America when it comes to her opinions on the music. She is, after all, a fan. But she's a fan with little or no musical background. Fox and the "Idol" producers probably see higher ratings and dollars signs with DeGeneres onboard. She's one of TV's most popular personalities....
Ellen DeGeneres Is The New American Idol Judge
2009-09-10 04:11:00 It’s official; Ellen DeGeneres will be the new fourth judge on American Idol. The comedian has signed on as Paula Abdul’s replacement. According to a just released video, she will sit alongside Randy, Simon, and Kara.I think she could bring some fresh new spunk to the show—plus she’s freakin’ hilarious. I doubt she has the musical know-how that Paula had, but Ellen does claim to be a major fan of the show. Here’s what she had to say about the new gig:"I've watched since the beginning, and I've always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I'll save from not having to text in my vote."She says she’ll be the people’s voice on Idol, and won’t look at the singers from a music producer’s point of view, but from a fan’s perspective.Here’s a video about Ellen DeGeneres on American Idol:The announcement that Ellen will be the new American Idol judge comes several weeks after Paula Abdul tweeted that she wouldn’t be ...

Blige, Kristin Chenoweth, Joe Jonas, Neil Patrick Harris, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry and Shania Twain. “I’m thrilled to be the new judge on AMERICAN IDOL,” said DeGeneres. ”I’ve watched since the beginning, and I’ve always been a huge fan.

Woman Seeks American Drycleaner Magazine to Aid in her Asbestos Action
2009-08-27 00:44:00 A woman suffering from mesothelioma subpoenaed Crain Communications today to produce all issues of American Drycleaner magazine published from 1960 to 1981, including advertisements therein. Virginia Niusini worked at her family's dry cleaning business throughout the 1960's and 1970's where she believes she was exposed to asbestos in press covers. She is hoping to review the trade magazine back issues in order to identify the manufacturer and distributor of the press covers she used during that time. According to the subpoena, Niusini's attorney discussed her need to review the issues with Crain's agent. The agent indicated that the issues are physically present in Chicago but would not allow Niusini to review them without a valid subpoena. To review the documents filed...
Shahrukh Khan's Tribute To The American Legend Of Pop Michael Jackson
2009-08-24 21:51:00 Now that's what I call creative revenge. After what happened with Bollywood's biggest superstar, Shahrukh Khan at the Newark airport in America, Shahrukh Khan has chosen to respond to his insult by America in a way which is unique only to Indians.Shahrukh Khan is all set to produce a music video as a tribute to the American legend of pop, the late Michael Jackson, who died at the age of 50, under mysterious circumstances which caused a controversy in the death of MJ. This video will be directed by Samar Khan and the song, composed by Vishal and Shekhar is called, 'We lived in his world'.Apparently Shahrukh Khan cried for hours after he heard of the passing away of the great legend Michael Jackson and so did Vishal Dadlani who was a great fan of MJ.Incidentally, Shahrukh Khan was even slated to attend one of Michael Jackson's shows in London.

Website for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Reporting Now Ope
2009-08-18 22:33:00 In an earlier blog we discussed what the ARRA meant for Federal Construction Contractors, and noted that the reporting would be over the internet, once the government had its website up and running. On Monday, August 17, 2009, recipients of economic stimulus funds were notified that they now can access the website www.federalreporting.gov and register. Registration is necessary before the site will permit recipients to file reports, which begins on October 1, 2009. In addition to completing the registration process on the website, recipients also must obtain a Federal Reporting Personal Identification Number (FRPIN). Instructions on how to obtain a FRPIN can be found at http://www.recovery.gov/?q=cont-ent/recipient-reporting. The Government has published a 32 page guide to assist recipients in the registration process. The government has indicated that anyone interested in reviewing the reports filed by recipients of Stimulus funding will be able to do so beginning on October 11, 200...

An "American" Law School In China. Explanations Sought.
2009-08-16 18:34:00 My tiny firm must receive at least ten resumes every day. About a third of these come from students who, even in the best of of times, would likely never be hired as a law firm associate. Go ahead and get mad at me if you want, but those who are in the bottom half of the class from fourth tier ranked or unaccredited law schools are just not going to get hired by a law firm without exceptional circumstances. The United States is producing way more lawyers than jobs. I do not have the numbers on this, but I KNOW this to be true. Just ask Loyola 2L. And yet (usually with self-generated fanfare) new law schools just keep on coming. Why? I could talk about college presidents wanting to extend their fiefdom (and that would be true), but what it really comes down to is that law schools tend to be very profitable. I thought of all this today when I read an excellent article on the USC US-China Institute's website, entitled, "China Legal." The article is on Peking University's new...

“Showing the American right” through microblogging
2009-08-13 11:20:00 Interesting excercise in social politics or swing and a miss? The #welovethenhs hashtag and twibbon is an attempt to “show the world (and the American right) that we’ve got a great healthcare system”. But is it just shouting in the dark? What? Mark using his blog for a polemical argument? Surely not! Well, it just makes me think. Obama won the Presidential election - did you hear? - partly through maximising an audience that traditionally, the American right are ignoring. The Web. That doesn’t follow over here, however. The Conservative party has been making increasing inroads in social media, but our right-wing friends across the pond are really doing what Labour are doing in the UK, putting their hand up and shouting “me too!” I always find these Twitter campaigns a little strange, and if I’m completely honest, pointless. While recent “events” (and I hate to use that word to describe something so soul destroying) in Iran have ... |
