Breaking News : Farouk Hosni Lost The Elections
2009-09-22 23:02:00 Yes boys and girls Farouk Hosni has lost the UNESCO elections in front of Bulgarian Irina Bokova who has become the first woman to head the international organization :) Farouk got 27 votes and Irina got 30 in the final fifth vote.

Man I am so happy but I am sad on that money spent on his campaign and the humiliation and comprises Egypt had to pay all those month to win the minds and hearts of the United States and Israel. Of course he will return and keep bitching about how biased the UNESCO committee is to stand with an European woman and not with an Egyptian Arab Muslim man and surely the official media will go on with him compl...

2009-06-30 08:40:00 More and more often, when news breaks, it breaks on Twitter. And Twitter without fail is a place to find immediate reaction to news stories around the world. I noticed these trends when I founded Breaking Tweets, "World News, Twitter-Stlye," in late January. The site consists of editors who sift through hundreds of tweets daily to write articles based on recent news events. I've long thought the next logical step for Breaking Tweets is to experiment with a local market. What better place than Chicago? Not only do I live here, but Chicago's the 3rd most popular city on Twitter, only behind Los Angeles (2) and London (1). So when bigtime news breaks in Chicago, when a new political scandal...

It's a very good article and I hope you will read it all the way through and vote Bruce chocolate chip cookies at the end, because he definitely deserves a cookie for his efforts.The comments interest me, as someone almost immediately tries to diminish the impact of the message by forcing it back into the anime box - and not just that, but the "oh, it's those gals talking about Yuri, how cute and pointless" box. Bruce deftly points out that my social media skills are useful for more than "just Yuri."

Dollar, who was formerly an Assistant Professor of Economics at UCLA and a Visiting Professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, really knows whereof he speaks when it comes to economics and China. Though there will no doubt be those who will attribute his pick to the favorable publicity I gave him in this post, (kidding!) I have to believe this particular pick was entirely on the merits.

2009-05-01 22:06:00 I am nothing if not cautious. Having grown up being raised to believe that everyone is a serial killer, and having lived in Milwaukee near actual serial killers, I believe in having my home be secure.So I lock windows, I lock doors, I make sure that we have lights around the house, and I felt pretty safe, until the night I thought I heard someone trying to get into our living room windows -- low to the ground, away from the street -- during a time when people were having homes broken into in our house.I did the only thing I could do: Grab the nearest weapon (A copy of "Doonsebury's Greatest Hits") and made my way downstairs to find... that it was the cats making noise. That lesson taught me that it's important to have even more security than I thought we needed. I don't want to have to defend my family using a softcover comic - strip collection. Protect America can give me the extra security I'd like -- and they can do it for a price I like... FREE.They've got this wireless ...
