LA Vampires, Ital, Maria Minerva, Magic Touch and Innergaze.
Straight outta LA comes Amanda Brown's prolific dance/not dance imprint 100% SILK, a boutique label that bounces glitz with ghetto and warped basement aesthetics with boogie antics. The vibe will be good as 100% SILK hits the dance-floor, the odour of erotic jacking house mingling with disco ball good times and deep, sweaty sonics slipstreamed within post-noise possibilities. As well as Amanda's own project LA Vampires this non-stop SILK party will be joined by three other label mates, with special guests joining in where they can.
LA Vampires is the shapeshifting soundsystem universe of Amanda Beth Brown (co-runner of Not Not Fun Records, mother of 100% SILK, and ex-Pocahaunted voodoo-ist). To date she's released 4 records, each more different than the last: an acid-jazz crate-digger split with Psychic Reality, a spectral witch-dub collaboration with Zola Jesus, a blurry sunbleached cassette-loop collab with Matrix Metals, and an co-experiment in dance love and laments with Ital. Hers is an evolving vibe, utilizing a web of slowed/screwed tapes, boombox Casio FX, low end theories, and bleached voice patterns to conjure a reverb chamber's worth of dance floor mirages.
Ital is the sweet solo creation of Daniel Martin-McCormick (Mr. Sex Worker, and one half of the amazing Mi Ami). The sounds heady, tactile and amorphous and come from a producer who has a rich, passionate legacy in underground music. Look forward to his upcoming Planet Mu double 12″, a boundary-pushing, thoughtful, body moving trip. More mind-blowing SILK 12″s to come as well.
Maria Minerva is the new pop model. Estonian-born, London-based Maria Juur magnifies the idea of bedroom-ballads-turn-dirty-dance to the umpteenth power with her pleasure/pain vocals and synthphonies. Self-assured and whip smart, Maria writes sensual lyrics with an intellectual bent, calling out to all the music lovers with moving minds AND bodies.
Magic Touch is the magic touch of San Francisco-based denim demi-god DJ and dancefloor motivator Damon Palermo (the other Mi Ami half, and a constant collaborator with Jonas Reinhardt). An awe-inspiring live drummer, Damon's miraculously been able to translate that nuance and skill into synthetic drums and production. Magic Touch is relentlessly engaging, every peak and valley composed for optimum movement and groove.

MSNBC's Touré Accuses Mitt Romney of "Niggerization" of President Obamaby Free Britney at . Comments
MSNBC's Touré, co-host of the network's roundtable show The Cycle, used the n-word to describe Mitt Romney's campaign and its tactics against President Obama.
Touré insists recent comments by Romney were racially charged - somewhat ironic in that Romney was responding to a comment Joe Biden made - that Romney will "put y'all back in chains" - that some felt was racially charged.
"This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like," Romney said. "Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago."
Touré reacted strongly to this, calling it "niggerization" ...
"That really bothered me," he said. "You notice he says 'anger' twice. He's really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man."
"This is part of the playbook against Obama. The otherization, he's not like us. I know it's a heavy thing to say. I don't say it lightly ... But this is niggerization. You are not one of us, and that you are like the scary black man who we've been trained to fear."
Really, Touré?!
As his co-host points out, it's a bit of a stretch to accuse the GOP of racism when he described Biden's more controversial comment using the word "angry."
While Mitt Romney's faux outrage may be laughable, given Republicans' use of equally hard-nosed and divisive political tactics, Touré is pushing it here.
Or is he? Tell us what YOU think in the comments below.
Election 2012:
Lets see Republicans have killed education for the poor (slavery, without an education we beg for the 1%s scrapes) I personally think Biden was talking in general, (the whole 99% are the slaves), it's not rocket science, anyone with 1/2 a brain would see it, if you don't your an idiot. Since Bush this country's been F@&CKED!!!! SCREW YOU ROMNEY, YOU & YOUR FOLLOWERS ARE DESTROYING AMERICA
Honestly, if Obama was to lose, would blacks riot in the streets?
Cont. - I thought now it's personal and we are along for the ride. It's voters like you that are putting my kids future at risk! That's personal! You are entitled only to the Pursuit of Happiness! You cannot take from the pocket of those who have earned and label it justice. I do want to know what Obamas plan is because I missed it last time! We still don't know his agenda -from his mouth- but maybe you could go see Obama 2016 and for the 1st time get introduced to the person you are voting for! He will not win and if Romney doesn't make a clear path to recovery in his 1st 3 years then his ass will be out in 4. FYI- please - save many any explanation.
Good because I just wrote back to 67 reasons and my phn froze! I'm not re writing it. Lol
Matt I have no band here that I interact with. I am not racist never have I ever said anything to bait people with race. I'm not on the fence I'm voting for Obama but unlike u I can actually admit when I disagree with something Obama does. U come on here repeatedly asking what is Obama's work plan implying he doesn't have one when we both know that's a lie. But that's also something Republicans have tried to use because they think people are too stupid to look shit up their self which in ur case is true. And u Matt ARE racist. I have seen the shit u post. U have had comments deleted I never have! So why do u think that is Matt? Ur hateful and u try to spread lies instead of debating real issues. Ur mitt has no plan. His plan cut taxes. How will he pay for it who knows so please get off ur high horse acting like mitt knows what he's doing. Quit drinking the mitt kool aid!! Lol
You and your band of freeloaders on this site are nothing less than what all is wrong with this Country! This thread is about a co- host on MSNBC making a racial charge against Romney! Just like the black Female Senator in Virginia accusing Romney of being racist! What your sorry racist ass doesn't understand Chely is that you and your Party will not speak of the Economy or what needs to be done to fix it! Obama has you sheep doing his talking while he buys beers in Iowa! Your SuperPac adds are pathetic! Romney killed a woman with Cancer? Don't you for a minute try to beleive that you are in the middle- unbiased.! Your President is a phony! It's that simple! His followers are blatant racists who are pulling out all stops! Don't you for a minute try and make beleive you are on the fence! We all know what your about! Your constantly fishing and u use race for bait! Your whole Klan is a disgrace!
Chely take your head out of your rectum! Obama has stomped the constitution with his Marxist views. "Share the wealth" and "level the playing field ", ringing any bells? What about the Obamacare TAX? Oh yes get healthcare or pay the fine! Open the doors and do an end runaround to let ILLEGAL immigrants stay in the US. This is what you want for another four years! Racism ....is it not the Democrats putting people in chains and screaming niggerization? Their words, not Republicans! The Democrats are pulling the racecard out.
Say when their side is wrong. Believe me the Republicans are betting on getting all the racist votes. And they have made speeches geared toward this group. I don't know if ur trying to fool urself or others on here but one thing is for sure BOTH SIDES HAVE USED SHADY TACTICS! And have lied in their attack ads. U want a ex. OK Obama is taking out work for welfare its a lie and if u notice when that ad comes up and there's a small text under it that sites the info u will see there is only a date no sited source. Get ur head out of ur ass.
Ohhh please. Both sides are doing shady shit just like every election. Its so laughable when they try to call eachother out. Only dumb people fall for the fake indignation of these running mates. Toure give me a break.
Does that mean that matt does own thg and runs this blog.This site is pretty racist but i guess that is freedom of speech.

Sunday, 23 November 2014 00:00Driving rain and an early start time did not deter 600 people who arrived at Crest Hollow Country Club recently to celebrate the Women's Fund of Long Island's 20th year and to honor four exceptional women.
The breakfast started with a meet and greet and a chance to showcase Women's Fund contest winner Patti Hogarty, designer of "Women as Bamboo." Inspired by her neighbor's bamboo, she entered the contest drawing a design of the bamboo, which Ambalu Jewelers of Roslyn then turned into various pendants of which 40-percent of the profits would go to WFLI. Hogarty wrote a short essay comparing women to bamboo in that they are strong and can weather difficult storms, yet remain graceful and continue to grow sending out new shoots.

Oyster Bay High School Principal Dr. Dennis O'Hara addressed the board of education at Tuesday night's meeting about offering a summer school program at the high school. It would be the first time the district had a summer school program in more than 12 years.
Dr. O'Hara explained that with the institution of the Common Core state standards, students are faced with a greater level of academic rigor and more challenging coursework. The program would offer remedial and enrichment classes for students both in and out of district.

In the history of Oyster Bay High School athletics, no one has ever won a Girls' Tennis New York State Championship. Celeste Matute and Courtney Kowalsky became the first when they won the 2014 New York State Doubles Championship in Latham on Nov. 3. What makes this tremendous achievement even more remarkable is that Matute is a junior and Kowalsky is a sophomore.
The girls, who are usually singles players, teamed up to take on the very best players in Nassau County and New York State. They won all 10 matches in the section XIII and NYSPHSAA tournaments and left Latham as the 2014 New York State doubles champions.

I have been working at Hertz
Great people who are all focused on succeeding, freedom to do or try new initiatives, always learning and many options for personal development through courses, projects and new programs
Not much guidance provided, learn-as-you-go culture, too many initiatives that constantly change, overly strong focus on stock price and financials, need a better work/life balance program
Ask for feedback and recommendations from the employees who deal directly with customers. Pick one or two key initiatives and stick with them for at least a year, if not longer.

BlackBerry gets free international calls
Internet phone service specialist EQO has added BlackBerry to the list of around 400 handsets that it says can now make local-rate or free international calls - without using Wi-Fi or VOIP to the handset. Users also get cheap text messaging and free access to all the popular IM services, the company said. EQO's service uses a …
If you change the company name from EQO to iSkoot and the CEO's name you could have a second story. There is a difference, iSkoot support Treo's with a native app as well as a Java implemenation for the other mfrs handsets. Both need a data plan to do the call setup and IM, neither need wifi to achieve this (read no new handsets) so it's to the benefit of the customer rather than the mfr.
Just use Telediscount instead
Anyone can get low-cost international calling from any phone by calling Telediscount on 08452 449 449. Easier than faffing about with this kind of stuff.
Say no to 0845!
I hope the previous poster isn't a shill for Telediscount...
Most mobile tariffs won't let you call 0845 numbers using your inclusive minutes, so services like this can still be a relatively expensive way to call abroad.
It should be cheaper and easier to use a service like EQO or iSkoot as they use local numbers, so it goes onto your inclusive minutes, and they also take away the need to dial the access number.

Old people & technology (I mean you 30 year olds)
Updated On: Sep 02 2014 10:11:01 AM EDT
Ok, I'm a bit sick of generational scolds who fear, mock and are actively engaged in condemning younger people because of their technology.
Probably the worst is the idea that younger people are 'disconnected' because they are 'looking at screens' all day long. You know, therefore they are uncommunicative and not making personal contact.
What utter bull****. And its an ubiquitous refrain.
They aren't uncommunicative or disconnected. They are the most communicative and connected generation in the history of this species. They just aren't talking to you. They are talking to ten of their friends (or more) simultaneously and coming to consensus, looking at photos videos and posts, and (more importantly) fact checking the s*** out of each other in ways that were literally impossible back when you were slack jawed and drooling in front of the television watching 'Friends' and talking to your brain dead best friend for hours about literally nothing.
When you were told things straight from The Stupid. Like Dogs can smell cancer or Chicks dig a guy who won't take no for an answer, or you can't get pregnant if having sex while standing up, you just had to take it on faith. Now you can google it.
So while kids today aren't talking directly to you, they are also not being told mind numbingly stupid things that they can't look up.
Also, what do you want to talk to them about?
Because you probably aren't even thinking along the lines of their metaphors, allusions or structural jokes.
Most of the richest narrative and literate storytelling that happens in the world today happens within the universes completely created for video games and virtual experiences that you simply don't have any familiarity with.
Last year video games outsold total global Hollywood for the fourth year in a row.
And it doesn't use the same storytelling format. In fact the format for telling a story isn't even the same thing as your standard television and movie script anymore. Its a hundred times more complex and interactive.
If you don't know about Skyrim, World of Warcraft, Grand Theft Auto, God of War, Raccoon City, the Umbrella Corporation, or a million other characters, story lines, plots, places, seminal moments in video games, then you are literally missing half of all new writing and literature in the world. It is a visual, audio and narrative world that you simply do not have entrance to. Its like being functionally illiterate in the 1950s.
And yet there are no awards locally for this type of writing and literature (and don't feel bad, there isn't any national education on 'transmedia' writing either) There aren't any teachers and most people over the age of thirty have never even heard the word 'transmedia'.
Imagine how you would feel if you and a hundred of your friends were transported to a country where no one could read, none of them had ever heard of television, and most of their time was spent reading bones for omens about the weather. You reckon you would jump right into the bone reading conversations?
Can you FaceTime? Do you Skype?
And you wonder why kids aren't talking to you?
In another 20 years, it won't be the 'uncommunicative' generation sitting around with no one to talk to and nothing to talk about.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell is urging the state's residents to join their West Virginia neighbors in a moment of silence in memory of the victims of last week's deadly mine explosion.
Twenty-nine miners died in the explosion at Massey Energy's
Upper Big Branch mine in Montcoal, W.Va.
West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin has called for a moment of silence at 3:30 p.m. Monday, which marks one week since the disaster.
McDonnell says he's asking Virginians to join the observance and
to continue to look for ways to help West Virginians as they go
through a tragic time.

HTC has released a new YouTube app for Windows Phone 7 that's capable of playing high quality videos over 3G or WiFI. Unfortunately, those of you with devices from other manufacturers are stuck with either Microsoft's poor implementation or another third party app that doesn't come with expected features. HTC has really stepped up their game this week, by first updating their Hub to reveal live weather, and now by releasing an app many users have been anticipating for quite a while. We look forward to seeing what else HTC has to offer in the coming months. Get the HTC YouTube app by visiting the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace, though it may not be available in all regions just yet.

During my trip to San Sebastian in Northern Spain last year, I took some video footage which I've compiled in our latest Hostelworld.com video postcard.
In 'San Sebastian – a video postcard' you'll catch a glimpse of some of the city's top attractions, along with a selection of bars, restaurants and more.
One of the attractions you'll see in the video are the Peine De Los Vientos or Wind Comb sculptures, which were made by local artist Eduardo Chillida. More of Chillida's work can be seen at the Museo Chillida Leku, which is also very popular with visitors to the city.
There's plenty for those who want sun, sea and sand too, as the video features beaches like Playa de Ondarreta and Playa de Zurriola. Other attractions featured in the video include Monte Igueldo, Monte Urgull, La Concha Bay and Plaza de la Constitución, which is the main square in the city's Old Town area.
So, if you're thinking of heading to San Sebastian and you want to have a look around before you go, make sure to check out 'San Sebastian – a video postcard'.
In our hostelworld.com travel blog we bring you all the latest company news and information on new additions to the site including podcasts, videos and more. You'll also get inside information on a variety of destinations across the globe as they're visited by our travel editor and writers.

20 Ways to Improve Your Presentation Skills
I've been doing a lot of presenting recently, and I have no problem admitting that it's tough. For those not born with natural eloquence, public speaking can be remarkably nerve-racking. But I'm getting a lot better!One of the biggest lessons I've learned over the last few years is that to be a great speaker, it's key to develop a personal speaking style.
Since I know I'm not the most eloquent speaker in the world, I make up for it by packing my presentations with enthusiasm, unique/proprietary data, and tons of useful content as well as plenty of dumb jokes.We can't all deliver the next Gettysburg Address, but there are lots of small things you can do prior to your presentation that will help calm your nerves and set you up for a better presentation.

How Content Marketing REALLY Works: New Webinar with Moz & WordStream

Is Email Marketing Effective? Three Examples That Prove It Is
Email marketing gets a bad rap. Sure, it's not quite as embarrassing as direct mail (which is somehow a $12 billion per year industry), but it's pretty close.Image via G-Lock SoftwareMany marketers have been seduced by social media advertising, perceiving it to be not only "cooler," but also more effective than email marketing.
There's no denying that social media gets a lot more media attention than email marketing. However, claims that email marketing is no longer effective are simply not true, and any marketer worth their salt will tell you that email remains a cornerstone of their campaigns.Not convinced?

Niche Marketing: 7 Ways to Get It Right
If you're a marketer working in a highly specialized industry, you might be wondering about how you can maximize your impact and make your mark. Some marketers mistakenly believe that being in a niche industry is a disadvantage, but it's all about how you look at it.Being a glass-half-full kind of guy, I thought I'd offer some suggestions to poor, beleaguered marketers working in very specialized industries.
Follow these seven tips to get the most out of your niche marketing campaigns.1. Know Your Target Market Inside OutJust because your product or service only appeals to a narrow range of people doesn't mean you can be lazy when it comes to researching your target market.

The 4 Best Presentations from Pubcon 2014
Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in Pubcon Las Vegas, one of the world's largest, most popular digital marketing conferences. Before shipping out for the event, I read a few "surviving Pubcon" guides and the most commonly shared piece of advice was to plan ahead and map out exactly which sessions you plan to attend.
When I arrived, it became very apparent that this was a wise move. There were multiple tracks so, at any point during the 4-day event, attendees had the option of listening to one of six presentations, roaming the exhibit hall or networking with fellow attendees.Although I tried to stick with my meticulously planned schedule, it was tough. There were tons of interesting presentations so I frantically bounced from room to room trying to fit everything in. By... > Read more
5 Epic Content Marketing Tips from Joe Pulizzi
What makes an outstanding presentation? One that pushes you to think from a new perspectives? One without an endless string of snooze-worthy PowerPoint slides?Perhaps gaining actionable items to implement and grow your business?Nope, you guessed wrong.According to the self-proclaimed poster boy of content marketing, Joe Pulizzi, a great presentation is one you go into with low expectations.
For instance, if you expect to go home with one actionable item, but instead go home with two (i.e. it exceeds your expectations).As marketers and business owners, you've probably attended your fair share of unfortunate presentations. As an avid public speaker, Pulizzi's goal is the make sure this is not the case. Last week I found myself slurping down a lukewarm cup of coffee in the cozy wine cella... > Read more

Unraveling: Wholesale bypass and cheap imports continue to lower prices and hurt demand
IBISWorld's Men's & Boys' Apparel Wholesaling market research report offers insightful industry analysis and research into the market at the national level. IBISWorld's in-depth industry market research is presented in a logical and consistent format. The industry report contains key industry statistics, market size, industry trends, and growth and profit forecasts for a 5-year outlook period.
The economic recession has had a dismal effect on men's and boys' apparel wholesalers. With decreased discretionary spending in 2008 and 2009, retailers have been offering discounts to consumers to retain sales. Due to weak downstream demand, wholesalers were left with excess inventories and slashed prices to move stock. In their ongoing quest to cut expenditures and sustain margins, retailers have been sourcing directly from manufacturers, causing wholesalers to cut prices to remain relevant in the apparel supply chain. Meanwhile, due to cheap foreign labor, retailers are enticed with low-cost imports. As a result, wholesalers are left with lower demand... purchase to read more
The Men's and Boys' Apparel Wholesaling industry has a low market share concentration, defined as the top four players accounting for less than 40.0% of industry revenue. The top three players, VF Corporation, Phillips-Van Heusen and Ralph Lauren Corporation, are estimated to account for 14.6% of revenue in 2014. This low concentration reflects the fragmented market that has a mix of small and medium participants. The highly competitive nature of this industry will continue to place pressure on participants to close operations or to merge to maintain profitability. Over the past five years, concentration has slightly increased, from about 10.0% in 2009... purchase to read more
Businesses in this industry purchase men's and boys' clothing from apparel manufacturers and sell these products to retailers, generally with minimal or no further product development. Most wholesalers in this industry undertake sales and administrative activities such as establishing relationships with manufacturers and retailers, marketing and advertising their products, and storing and transporting stock.

Sales Commentary
There appears to be nothing on the horizon that will change the direction of the housing and condo market in Toronto. The Toronto Real Estate Board reported sales in October were up by 7.7% over October of last year. For the first two weeks of November sales were running 8.3% ahead of last year. Tracking the listing market (supply), 'active' listings were down 5.7% from a year ago. It suggests that prices can only increase, going into 2015. Also it appears that sales in Toronto proper have been stronger than the 905 region in the latter half of the year. Expect freehold properties in this market to produce significant price gains in the next twelve months./p>
The condo market is showing much better price balance. While overall condo sales were ahead by 6.6% in October over the previous year, the downtown condo market experienced a better performance with sales up by 9.7%. At the same time, 'active' condo listings downtown were up by 8.9%. While the condo listing supply continues to grow, it is not outpacing demand. This has allowed condo prices to remain fairly flat. And the price gap between condos and freeholds is now being discussed in the media with the suggestion that more people will now have to live in condos if they want to live downtown (surprise). This change in attitude from a year ago at this time also extends to Millennials who seem more willing to buy than to rent. The ratio of renters to buyers of condos has come down from over 2.5 times to just 1.38 times. The other reason for the drop is seasonality. Last year the number at this time was 1.8 times.
This month we looked at sales at the Vu Condos at 112 George St. (Adelaide and Jarvis) which was completed and registered in 2010. This is a prime downtown location close to St. Lawrence Market. The first unit we looked at was a one bedroom plus den with parking, locker, and balcony at 685 sf. It sold this year for $396,000 at 99% of list. That works out to $578/sf. The same unit sold four years previous, at registration for $335,000. That works out to a price increase of 4% per year. The second unit we compared also sold in 2014. This was a two bedroom, two bath unit with parking and locker. It had 10 ft. ceilings and also had a 240 sf terrace. It sold for $520,000 at 101% of list! At 812 sf, the price was $640/sf. Most units this size sell for $550/sf. That means the buyers paid just over $20,000 in premium for the terrace. This same unit also sold at registration, four years earlier, for $442,000 but without parking. At the time parking could be purchased for $25,000. When you adjust the original price by this amount, the condo appreciated at just 3% per year. Condo fees at just 55 cents/sf/month are very reasonable for a building of this age where the fees include heat, water, CAC, but not hydro. The popularity of the building is reflected in the fact that there are only three units available for sale out of a total of 352 units. The average list price is $600/sf.
Rental Commentary
We are now entering the slowest period of the rental market. Downtown there were 655 condos leased in October. That number is 37% lower than the peak in August of this year. Seasonality also applies to rents. For tenants, the best time to rent is in November and December. The worst is April (for May) and July and August (for September). At this time of year, landlords are ready to make a deal, rather than have their unit sit empty. The price drop is about $50/month, depending on the unit. The average price for studios dropped by that $50 to $1400 per month. The one bedroom market remained unchanged with the entry level unit still averaging over $1600. The top end of the one bedroom market – a den plus parking is still over $1900. The entry point for the two bedroom market dropped by $100 to $2100 on average. The high end of the two bedroom market which includes a den and parking is up slightly to $3000 per month. The three bedroom market remains in the $3500 to $4,000 range because of the lack of product versus the demand. Because parking spots in new condos are now being sold for $30,000 to $40,000, the rental price for a parking spot is now averaging $200 per month. That is still cheap to rent when you factor in condo fees and property taxes on these parking units.

Ronn Torossian on Hurricane Sandy: Big Government vs. Small Government
I am a born and bred New Yorker and have lived nearly my entire life in this great city. I love New York — and raise my kids here today in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of the Upper West Side.: : I have never seen New York City in such devastation, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy — there is not a single NY'er who hasn't had some aspect of their life affected by this catastrophe.
What the media is largely still not reporting is the immense impact this hurricane will have upon businesses in New York.: : I'd venture that less than 25 percent of businesses were open this week in New York — and for a week employees who haven't had electricity in their homes have been paid.: : Bills are due — even though by and large the US Postal Service (and even Fed-ex) hasn't delivered checks. There are tremendous economic implications in NYC to this hurricane which haven't yet been spoken about.
Such little help exists for businesses — which are the lifeline of this country's economy.The city's Department of Small Business Services is giving out $10,000 loans.: : It's laughable for a business in Idaho to do much with $10K — let alone in NYC.: : That doesn't cover rent here for a deli owner, let alone a business with employees who can't get into their office. It's not an amount of money which will go far. The city's Economic Development Corp. has approximately 40,000 square feet of space available for business owners — which in NYC fits perhaps 200 people (my: PR firm: alone occupies 35,000 square feet and is a small business).: : That's not a lot in this great city which has thousands of offices still closed.
There's no government help in sight for business. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy it should be clearer than ever before that anyone who cares about business should favor limited government. This administration favors big government — and we have had 4 years of it and now in the business capital of America there's no help in sight from government.
Obama speaks of "spreading wealth around" — and that's with his "big government" in place.: : : Perhaps a secretary of business with government bureaucracy is a better way than business owners depending on themselves as they get back to work and make their businesses succeed.
I believe in the greatness of American entrepreneurs — and not in big government.
Ronn Torossian: is CEO of 5WPR, a New York PR agency.: : Ronn Torossian: is author of "For Immediate Release", a leading PR book.
