Report: Small online news sites more proven than large ones » VentureBeat
Report: Small online news sites more proven than large ones » VentureBeat: “The report uses long tail economics to show how small sites can do well by achieving greater distribution among a niche readership. Because operating costs are so low, these sites can still manage to be successful despite lower rates of advertising revenue. The report describes the revenue model for independent blogs and news sites and it offers, as an example, a news site with 1 million unique visitors a month which generates $1.5 million in annual revenues assuming a $2 CPM (cost per thousand user impressions) rate.”

National Journal Online -- Lost in Transition -- E-Government Ball Already Rolling At Commerce
National Journal Online -- Lost in Transition -- E-Government Ball Already Rolling At Commerce: “If Barack Obama wants to prioritize e-government, he might look to the Commerce Department, which has quietly gained a reputation for being one of the most Web-savvy departments in the federal government.
Commerce has long been viewed as a sprawling, almost ungovernable bureaucracy, but over the last few years it has seen significant advances in areas both small (online video) and large (the 2010 census).
"I think the Commerce Department has been aggressive and progressive," said Arnold Jackson, associate director for the 2010 census.”

Statement by Chief of Staff for Congressman Jackson - Kenneth Edmonds
I just received this direct email from Kenneth Edmonds, the spokesperson for Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr.:
That's confirmed. Kenneth Edmonds is Chief of Staff for Congressman Jackson. But he sent the email via richmondgrouponline.com.
But I can't find a direct connection between the two. In other words, was this actually Kenneth Edmonds who sent the email? No. The bottom of the email lists Kenneth Johnson as having sent it, not Edmonds. It's harmless to be sure, but it would have been better to send out something that looks more official than this.
"As a responsible citizen and elected official, Congressman Jackson has in the past provided information to federal authorities regarding his personal knowledge of perceived corruption and governmental misconduct.This was completely unrelated to the current federal investigation regarding the U.S. Senate appointment. And it is absolutely inaccurate to describe the Congressman as an informant."

Zorn throws himself under the bus - NFL - Yahoo! SportsMike Sliver: “Jim Zorn, I’m rooting for you. I really am. I resolved back in February to give you a chance as an out-of-the-box hire, and I hope you survive to coach a second year with the Redskins.
But could you kindly stop bleeding all over the place?”
Knowing Sil, I can actually hear him saying that!

NY GIANTS ADD A WIDEOUT - ProFootballTalk.com
ProFootballTalk.com - GIANTS ADD A WIDEOUT: “The New York Giants will sign receiver Derek Hagan, according to Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger.
Hagan was cut earlier this year by the Dolphins. Though he’s had several tryouts, he had not been re-signed.
Plagued by a problem holding onto the ball, the Fins finally gave up on the former first-day draft pick in November.
The Giants need help at the position given the absence of Plaxico Burress. The problem is that Burress can be properly replaced only by a receiver who draws double coverage (or more) everywhere he goes.”
