World Environment
Day (WED) was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to mark
the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment.
Commemorated yearly on June
5, WED is one of the principal vehicles
through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of
the environment and enhances political attention and action. The
day's agenda is to: Empower people to become active agents of
sustainable and equitable development; Give a human face to
environmental issues; Promote an understanding that communities are
pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues;
Advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and peoples
enjoy a safer and more prosperous future. The theme for WED 2009 is
'Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change'. It reflects
the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial
climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the
year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management
of forests. Learn more

During Whoopi
Goldberg's closing minutes, a male patron suffered an apparent
seizure near the front of the Encore Theater, according to
several witnesses.
Goldberg stopped her show when ushers began tending to the man,
who was near Steve and Elaine Wynn, who had arrived arm

After the King of Pop
Michael Jackson postponed his first five opening shows of the This Is It
run of 50 concerts in London’s 02 Arena, the tawdry tabloid tales and
rumors have gotten out of control. They escalate and get worse every
day. To clear up all the craziness, I went inside the Jackson camp and
got answers to some sensational scoops claimed by British reporters…. |

This & That |

I did not realize how well my weekly column would catch
on. I’m a humble kind of guy and even when Paul Shaffer called me one of
America’s top vocalists of all-time it was a hard pill for me to
swallow. The same with the ongoing popularity of “An Imperial Life” but
at some point, you have to go with the majority. So, a couple of weeks
ago I was invited to attend a comedy show starring Bobby (The Pit Bull)
Slayton.......... |

The Car in Your Career
As I waited for my
car to be washed the other day, I started to think about
how much, time, effort and expense we allocate to our
cars. Society collectively, has made a tremendous
commitment to this one amenity in life, a machine. I
couldn't help but think of the similarities between our
cars and our careers.... |

This Just In, and the World Series

There were masses of poker
players and spectators at the Rio as the weekend $1000 event got close to the
opening bell. Excitement was in the air. Comparable to a celebrity throwing out
the baseball at the beginning of a play-off game, a celebrity always announces,
"Shuffle Up and Deal." On Sat. May 30, that celebrity was Jack Binion who's
Daddy, Benny Binion was the originator of the
WSOP......... |
