My second current event blog is about the big news that Time Warner and AOL have decided to go their separate ways after nine-years. Chairman executive of Time Warner Jeffery Bewkes said that he believes AOL has a better opportunity to achieve its full potential as a leading independent internet provider. This will happen near the end of the year. Tech analysts say that if nothing else, this will allow AOL to pursue a wider range of business allies. AOL bought social networking Bebo for $850 million last year to try and compete in the social networking area of the internet. AOL will be competing with three other giants of the internet. Google,Yahoo, and Microsoft.

My current event blog post will be on Obama's nomination of Supreme Court official Sonia Sotomayo. On Thursday, the longest serving Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee said that she will be confirmed--barring any surprises. She will be only the third woman serving on the Supreme Court and the first hispanic. The Judiciary Committee has not yet announced when the hearings will be held. But the Democrats are trying to get her confirmed as soon as possible. The democrats are trying to give Sonia Sotomayoras much preperation time before the high court's next term begins.

My second post is from an article from cnn.com
The article is about Sydney Frank who made millions marketing jagermeister and other alcohol brands. He became a hit among college students not because of what he sold but because he gave them a college education. On Sunday, 49 students from low-income families became the first four-year Sidney E. Frank Scholars to graduate from Brown.

Frank gave Brown a $100 million dollar endowment exclusively to pay all the tuition and expenses for the neediest of Brown's applicants.

My blog is going to be on a recent article I read on foxsports.com. The article is about how while everyone is focused on wanting to watch a Lebron vs Kobe match in the finals, there is a decent chance that it might not be either going to the finals. The article goes on to talk about how the NBA has created an idea that is based around the clash of superstars. And that the only problem with the dream matchup of Lebron vs Kobe is that there are too many good players right now.

I don't really agree with the article because for one. I think that a Lebron vs Kobe match up would do wonders for NBA viewership. And because I myself am a Lakers fan and I want Kobe to finally prove he is better then Lebron
