  1. Eyelash transplants set to sweep nip tuck world (Yahoo! News) Think you've seen it all when it comes to cosmetic surgery?Look more closely. Eyelash transplant surgery wants to become the new must-have procedure. (And ultimately history will remember these times as trifling and narcissistic to the extreme.)

  1. Social Media Strike Two for Edelman PR and Wal-Mart
    
    (Marketing Profs Daily Fix Blog)
  2. Wal-Mart, the ethics-challenged biggest employer in America, has just been caught - for the second time - in an unethical and entirely dumb fake blog (flog) scandal.
    
    Everyday low ethics. I will always maintain that in a capitalist society, everything is propaganda if it's being done for profit. Hoes have to eat too, but if somebody is trying to sell you something, then they can't be completely trusted.

  1. Sox thank heaven for 7:11
    
    (Chicago Tribune)
  2. "It's a fun way to insert our name into fans' hearts and minds," said Margaret Chabris, a 7-Eleven spokeswoman. "We think it's worth way more than $500,000." She said that 7-Eleven is talking to other baseball teams about sponsorship deals that would include starting their games at 7:11.
    
    Cost to brand the time on a clock: $500,000. Realization that advertisers' efforts to get our rapidly dwindling attention are completely and utterly out-of-whack: priceless.

  1. Torre will not be fired
    
    (ESPN.com)
  2. Joe Torre will remain as manager of the New York Yankees, finally getting the word from owner George Steinbrenner.
    
    Well, that's why they run the team and not me. Ever since I was a kid, I've been a Yankees fan. After Willie Randolph, my favorite pinstriper of all time was Sweet Lou Piniella, he was always clutch and he had attitude. I think he's the most natural fit to skipper the team. But what do I know, I've only supported the team for most of my life that I can remember? Still, I think they have to move A-Rod, if anything, for his own good.

  1. Buck O'Neill

  2. Life in the Negro Leagues: John Buck O'Neill provides living testimony to a remarkable baseball era and an important chapter in American culture. He played for and then managed the Kansas City Monarchs - an all-black baseball team that rose to the top of the Negro Leagues.
    
    Seemingly lost in all of the baseball this weekend was the passing of Buck O'Neill, at 94 years young. Effectively the last living ambassador for the Negro Leagues, a bunch of incompetent and clueless Hall of Fame voters refused to honor this man by letting him into the Hall during his lifetime. If you look at the company O'Neill kept during his playing and managing days -- Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, it's clear to see that this guy was an important branch on the tree of baseball history, and it's an embarrassment to baseball that's he's not already enshrined.

  1. Courts are asked to crack down on bloggers, websites
    
    (USATODAY.com)
  2. The case reflected how blogs short for web logs, the burgeoning, freewheeling Internet forums that give people the power to instantly disseminate messages worldwide increasingly are being targeted by those who feel harmed by blog attacks.
    
    For those who make the silly claim that blogging is journalism, this should make them think twice. Blogging is more like talking loudly in public, which may be irritating to some of your neighbors, irritating enough for them to sue you. But what really caught my eye about this week-old story is the way the newspaper describes blogs: burgeoning, freewheeling, power to instantly disseminate messages worldwide. Beware the all-powerful weblog! Is it me, or wouldn't Big Media just love it if blogs got buried beneath a mountain of legal hassles, so many problems that they'd just go away? After all, if people are reading blogs and writing blogs, that's less time they're spending reading, watching and more importantly, buying Big Media. Does Big Media (or Big Anything) really want average folks to have a point-of-view and the ability to voice it?

  1. Tigers rout Yankees to reach ALCS
    
    (MLB.com)
  2. It was proof of the old baseball adage of good pitching beating good hitting. The finale, however, showed Detroit with better everything.
    
    Where do the Yankees go from here? If I were running the team the first thing I'd do is is try to move these guys: Giambi, Sheffield, Johnson, and yes, A-Rod. Other than the Big Unit, none of these guys have ever come through for any team in the post-season. Sorry, but A-Rod is the symbol of all that's wrong with the team: overpriced and underperforming when it matters most. Thanks Mr. April, while you can make it anywhere, maybe you just can't make it in New York. After I trimmed the fat, I'd really start investing in youth and realize it may take a few years to get back to the top, but with young players like Cano and Cabrera, it's clear that there is some talent waiting in the wings. Look at the Tigers, three years ago, they lost 119 games, and now, they're a young team, just four wins away from the AL pennant. The Yankees won't fall that far, if they started a focused rebuilding program, but this bloated, old, expensive team needs to be broken up, because there's nowhere left for it to go but down, down, down. I'd like to see them go young, while keeping the key players from the teams that last won a Series: guys like Jeter, Rivera, Posada. Keep Matsui, Damon, Abreu, Mussina. Punt the rest for kids. A little youth would inject some life into this team, because they're way too, well, professional, and spiritless.

  1. Consumers Rebel Against Marketers' Endless Surveys
    
    (Advertising Age)
  2. He's part of a growing nightmare for marketers: consumers with opinion fatigue who reject almost all attempts at polling.
    
    I love that: opinion fatigue. These companies want you to spend your precious free time giving them information they'll use to turn around and bombard you with offers you don't need. And they don't pay you. Please. I think that no matter how you slice it, opinion polls, whether for products or politicians, are always sketchy, no matter how many people you ask, because there's always a wide gulf between what people say and what they actually do. In a material world, it's what people do that matters. Don't let the newspeak fool you.
