...well as others.” From the business standpoint, the founders said that Latin America seemed like a promising market for a new social networking site. “It’s a place where Internet use is increasing every year and technology is booming at a rapid pace,” said Kushner. “We’re hoping to get pretty big, pretty fast.” And while Vostu.com creators are currently focusing on the Latin American community, they hope to expand in the future. Schlosser said they are planning to launch...
...Detroit's chronic deficit, however, has forced the mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, to take officers off the street when more are needed. The state of Michigan, which is also facing a $2 billion budget deficit in the wake of the rapid downsizing of the state's automobile industry, is doing all it can to help Detroit, says Liz Boyd, spokeswoman for Governor Jennifer Granholm.

Aimfire, a Machiavellain Frenchman with an ego as outrageous as his Napoleonic costume, Michael B. Hoagland ’07 is great. Using his wiry frame to great effect, and always turning with a flourish of his glittering cape, Hoagland’s humor is terrifically focused, less concerned with cueing the audience for laughs than making sure there is something worth laughing...
