Poll Results: Who Will Take Oprah’s Daytime TV Crown?

When BlackEnterprise.com readers were given the choice between Ellen DeGeneres, Tyra Banks, and Wendy Williams, to replace Oprah Winfrey as queen of daytime television, a majority of respondents to a recent poll chose none of the above.

Free and Low-Cost Resources to Help College Students Stay Afloat

There’s no question that college is one of the most memorable experiences in the transition from teen to adult. It can also be one of the most costly with $200 books, incidentals, and accidentals -- $115 parking ticket, $10 to replace your student ID, $15 for the on-campus comedy show (because after that week of tests and projects you need a reprieve.) Though the costs keep rising, there are a number of free and low-cost resources that can help college students keep a balanced budget.

Former Chicago Urban League President Runs for Senate Seat

Initially, Cheryle R. Jackson was flattered that then President-elect Barack Obama had added her to a list of six individuals who he felt were qualified to replace him in the Senate. But she didn’t seriously consider it at first.

An Action Plan for Black Friday

While the holiday shopping season is in full swing, the “official” kick off is nigh: Nov. 27 to be exact, a.k.a. Black Friday. But with the economy in a slump and unemployment at record numbers, how do we shop smarter for the holidays—if we’re even shopping at all?

The FDIC’s ‘Red’ Menace

A few hours ago, news came across the transom that the government insurance fund that protects consumer bank deposits “slipped into the red,” after some 50 banks collapsed between July and the end of September this year. Such headlines are more than a little disturbing for the average bank account-holder. We all know by now that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is the government entity that guarantees the safety of the money we’ve deposited into its member banks.

Report: Without Healthcare Reform, Plight of the Uninsured Bleak

If health insurance costs are left unchecked, the number of uninsured Americans will increase by 10% in every state in the country and by 30% in more than half the states, according to a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Foreclosures of the Rich and Famous

Since the highly publicized foreclosure woes of Evander Holyfield and Michael Jackson, more celebrities have joined the thousands of homeowners hit by financial strain of a weakened economy.

Taking Advantage of Takeovers

When stocks rise, corporate takeovers usually aren’t far behind. Those takeovers can generate profits for investors–if you happen to own stock in the company being acquired.

Why Buy Retail Stocks?

As investors hunt for bargain stocks with strong growth potential, many are taking a closer look at retail stocks - and for a good reason.

Click on Olympics in paradise, Topline

The medals of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games are circular in shape and based on a large master artwork of an orca whale by Corrine Hunt, a Canadian designer/artist of Komoyue and Tlingit heritage. Each of the medals has a unique hand-cropped section of the abstract art, making every medal one-of-a-kind.

-- They are among the heaviest medals in Olympic, weighing between 500 grams to 576 g depending on the medal.

Would you jump on the opportunity?
If so…………………

You MUST listen in to this evening’s broadcast of the Building Your Extraordinary Business Radio Program! My guests will be Eric Allen, co-founder of iLearningGlobal.tv and Gene Pomerants, Mastermind Marketer. Here’s more info on my guests:

Eric is a former teacher and college basketball coach. Once Eric aligned with the iLearningGlobal.tv opportunity that allowed him to forge great relationships with Brian Tracy and other top luminaries in the 100+ BILLION Dollar personal development industry, he knew he had found a life-long home!

Comment by Mrs. Lisa Renee Clark on November 3, 2009 at 12:58pm: "5 Things A Day To Bless Our Business"
Vohn and Tami Martineau of Gilbert, Arizona, have five boys ages 11 and under, so growing a business takes some planning. “I was introduced to the products by a friend, and found help with my depression,” Tami says. “Our second son, Gray, has autism. I put him on Relìv and over the next five weeks, we saw dramatic results — and he has continued to thrive.

“I started telling people about my experience, and right from the start we began earning $200 to $400 a month,” Tami continues. “The income grew to $2,000, then $4,300. We recently made Master Director, and earned more than $8,400 part-time that month. We are so excited about our future.”

Working in the Cracks
And just how can a mother of five find the time to succeed? Tami explains, “Doing something every day for your business is essential. My goal is to do five things a day to bless our business — consistency is the goal. I've learned how to put Relìv into the 'cracks' in my day, those five- minute periods we all have, no matter how busy we are. That's the key to building the business around small children.”

Who do you know and care about that NEEDS HELP with their health? Who do you know and care about that just wants to FEEL BETTER? Who do you know and care about that has been looking for a real solution for their FINANCES? What if this is the solution they've been looking for? You may contact me at lisareneeclark@troyclark.org

Comment by Mrs. Lisa Renee Clark on November 3, 2009 at 12:54pm: "I Know What It Means To FEEL GOOD!"
With seven children between the ages of two and 25, Patricia Wallace of Madison, Missouri, was used to feeling tired all the time and dealing with what she thought were “ordinary” aches and pains.

“I figured it all came with the territory of being an older mom,” Patricia says. “My life was about putting one foot in front of the other to get through the day.”

It wasn't long after she started on Relìv's basic nutrition that Patricia began to realize just how much better she actually could feel.

“The first thing I noticed was a phenomenal increase in my energy level — and then I noticed I wasn't itching and sneezing my way through the allergy season,” she states. “And within six months of starting on the products, the heel pain from the plantar's fasciitis I'd developed during my last pregnancy was much improved.

“I haven't had a cold sore in nine months, when I used to have three or four outbreaks per year, and I can't even remember the last time I had a bladder or yeast infection,” Patricia continues, adding that her daughter and son, in particular, have also achieved great results with Relìv.

“Now I know what it means to have energy and feel good!”

Who do you know and care about that NEEDS HELP with their health? Who do you know and care about that just wants to FEEL BETTER? Who do you know and care about that has been looking for a real solution for their FINANCES? What if this is the solution they've been looking for? You may contact me at lisareneeclark@troyclark.org
