Neil Aspinall 1941 - 2008

March 25th, 2008
By Mike

Neil Aspinall has passed away in New York at age 66. He was receiving treatment for lung cancer. He was such a huge part of The Beatles success, it’s hard to overestimate how much he will be missed. Not only was he heavily involved in their business, but he was [...]

Ringo raises Help! for charity

February 7th, 2008
By Mike

I’ve been watching with interest as music memorabilia fetches higher prices. A recent example is a pretty cool auction lot package from Apple Corps., Capitol and EMI that sold for $12,100 on eBay. The lot included a specially designed Beatles flag as part of a promotion of the new Help! DVD set. [...]

Apple Takes on School in Latest Trademark Battle


The Victoria School of Business and Technology in Canada has received a cease a desist letter from Apple Inc. citing trademark infringement with its apple logo. While similar in shape (particularly the singular right-leaning leaf), the school’s logo is green, white and blue, and includes its name in the image. One of Apple’s biggest concerns is the fact that the school offers software operation courses. "Your business logo…reproduces, without authority, our client's Apple design logo wh


Food Charities


Last week I mentioned how often I get bored with food. It’s bugged me all week, quite frankly. I don’t like sounding so ungrateful. There are people right in my area who struggle to put food on the table each day, and here I am complaining about variety. With colder weather coming on and heating bills on the rise I know that it gets even tougher. With that in mind, I’d like to use this week’s post to list some resources for finding charities that focus on helping people with food needs. One s


Make-Believe Maverick


I know the article below is long and I didn't write it, but its frankly one of the most thorough and best written articles I've seen on John McCain's entire life. It takes a look at the maverick credentials of McCain, and the gaping holes in the myth that McCain is a real authentic, independent and presently sinless politician.The appeal of both Barack Obama and John McCain is myths. There is no other way that a human body, with a functioning brain can achieve that sort of appeal or power, the g


Les Dames and Daniel


It is not my typical Saturday lunch. The autumn air is crisp and clean as I stroll along East 65th Street in Manhattan, towards a cream colored building with an art deco façade. I turn left into a large set of revolving doors with burnished trim. On each glass panel is a cocoa-colored plaque embossed with the name DANIEL. Inside, elegantly dressed women are drinking ruby red sparkling wine in tulip glasses. I quickly spot my friend “Lee Sloan,” a grand dame of food and wine and join her.


McCain's Record of Reckless Dishonesty


[A long and important piece, but just in case there's any doubt, neither our group nor Rolling Stone has any connection to the Obama campaign, which most likely wouldn't print it. It needs to be read anyway. --CarlD ]The Make-BelieveMaverick: LookingCloser at McCainBy Tim DickinsonRolling StoneOctober 16, 2008 - A Fort McNair, an army base located along the Potomac River in the nation's capital, a chance reunion takes place one day between two former POWs.

VP Debate Open Thread/Live Chat Transcript


Thanks to everyone for coming to tonight's live chat. The transcript follows the jump. Quick take: Palin probably played very well to her choir and to those who were pulling for her not to pull a Couric. Of course when you don't answer questions that are asked, and just springboard into your well-rehearsed talking points, you're setting your own rules. Call it mavericky. I call it undisciplined and unwilling to meet the challenge. If this were an oral exam in college, her professor would have

Lessons in Loyalty


Approximately 25% of employees do not feel loyal to their current employer and 20% say they are likely to leave their current position to change jobs within a year, according to a recent CareerBuilder.com survey of HR professionals and hiring managers. Although I am not completely surprised by these figures, the percentages are nonetheless disturbing and warrant our attention. Ongoing recruitment, training and retention are costly endeavors on multiple fronts. Disengaged employees erode retenti


Mercy Corps Benefit Lineup Update


A couple of days ago, I posted about the comedy benefit for the Mercy Corps Action Center at the Highline Ballroom on October 19 and I speculated that a few more “heavy hitter” type guests would be added to the bill to justify the pricey ticket. Well, it looks like they must have been reading my post because the “Give Food A Chance” lineup now includes the following people: Horatio Sanz, Matt Walsh, Chevy Chase, Jack McBrayer, Christopher Meloni, Seth Meyers, Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte, Rac

Girardi's Losing Battle


The task of managing the 2008 New York Yankees would have been daunting for anyone. An historic year, on the biggest stage, starring a rickety roster, looking for support from untested neophytes, featuring deluded expectations, buoyed by the bluster of a novice owner and self-serving hype of a teetering team architect is a script for failure. Joe Girardi, responded by slipping on jersey #27The games marched on, the injuries mounted, the youth movement bubble burst and Girardi's jaw tightened. He
