AMONG the significant dates in the history of Kahlúa, the Mexican coffee liqueur, surely March 6, 1998, rates a mention. nbsp; nbsp; That was the release date of The Big Lebowski, the Coen Brothers movie about an aging slacker who calls himself the Dude, and who, after a thug urinates on his prized rug, becomes caught up in a Chandleresque mystery. nbsp; nbsp; Played with slouchy brio by Jeff Bridges, the Dude’s chief pursuits involve bowling, avoiding work and drinking White Russians, the sweet cocktail made with vodka, Kahlúa and cream or milk. nbsp; nbsp; The movie was a flop when it was released, but in the decade since, The Big Lebowski has attracted a cult following, and as the film’s renown has grown, so has the renown of the White Russian, or, as the Dude calls them, nbsp; Caucasians.

pMicrosoft's quest to find a digital head will end in a rather technical choice: former Yahoo EVP of engineering for Search and Ad Tech Qi Lu, according a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20081204/former-yahoo-tech-star-qi-lu-likely-to-be-named-microsofts-digital-head-by-next-week/" title="to Kara"to Kara/a. The final details of his contract are being ironed out, and could be announced by next week, the story says. This position has been vacant since Kevin Johnson left and joined Juniper. /p p bThe logic for hiring Lu/b: since a lot of Microsoft's future rests on winning in the search and search ad space and catching up with Google and Yahoo, Lu is also well suited for the position. But it is still a curious choice, as Lu lacks the business acumen to drive MSFT out of its digital/online troubles. As a result, he could be paired with another senior MSFT business exec, and that's still being decided. He will be overseeing three major egos at MSFT: Satya Nadella, Yusuf Mehdi, and Brian McAndrews. McAndrews was thought to be a front runner to run the merged Yahoo-MSN group if MSFT was successful in buying Yahoo, earlier this year. Likely McAndrews could be that business partner to work with Lu, the story speculates. /p pstrongRelated/strong/p ul class="related" lia href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-msn-adds-to-the-confusion-does-some-more-reorg" title="Industry Moves: MSN Does More Reorg; Portal Remains A Mystery"Industry Moves: MSN Does More Reorg; Portal Remains A Mystery/a/li lia href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-industry-moves-former-time-vet-robin-domeniconi-to-head-up-msft-ad-sale/"Industry Moves: Former Time Vet Robin Domeniconi To Head Up MSFT Ad Sales In U.S./a/li lia href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-interview-jeff-dossett-svp-us-audience-yahoo-his-nex/" Interview: Jeff Dossett, SVP-U.S. Audience, Yahoo: His 'Next Mount Everest'/a/li lia href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-yahoo-confirms-that-moore-is-leaving-picks-up-msn-vet-dossett-to-us-au/"Yahoo Confirms That Moore Is Leaving; Picks Up MSN Vet Dossett To Head U.S. Audiences/a/li lia href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-industry-moves-microsofts-kevin-johnson-out-unit-reorg-coming/"Industry Moves: Microsoft's Kevin Johnson Out; Reorg Of Platform And Services; Ballmer Memo/a/li /ul p!-- iMark Logic Digital Publishing Summit, Thursday November 6, Westin Times Square.

Lehman confirmed his move but declined comment on the reasons and referred to IAC public relations for details. As we pointed a href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-iac-which-emerging-businesses-will-it-sell-or-close/" title="out in some detail"out in some detail/a recently, Diller said in the Q308 earnings call that IAC would shed some of its emerging businesses and was rethinking investments; this appears to be part of that strategic shift. /p p Jackson's group has been responsible for IAC's efforts to develop, acquire and distribute "content-based" sites including CollegeHumor.com; Very Short List (VSL); 236.com; RushmoreDrive.com and Tina Brown's recently launched Daily Beast. The results have been uneven and some of the sites are among those likely to be sold. For instance, a href="http://www.236.com" title="236.com"236.com/a, the joint venture with The Huffington Post, could wind up be entirely owned by HuffPo. Kurt Andersen's eclectic a href="http://www.veryshortlist.com/" title="VSL"VSL/a doesn't have a good fit in IAC without something like the programming group.

Heston Blumenthal pioneered bacon and egg ice cream a few years back and now many chefs are following his lead./ppThe combination might seem strange, but roast pork has long been served with sweet apple sauce, and bacon and maple syrup is a popular breakfast in the US, where the trend for bacon desserts is soaring. You can sample a honey-apricot pudding draped with bacon at Le Pigeon restaurant in Oregon; brioche bread pudding with bacon brittle at the Dovetail restaurant in New York; and bacon maple cupcakes at More, a Chicago shop. /ppThe attraction for chefs - and the many food bloggers who have posted their bacon dessert recipes online - seems to be a deep love of the meat's distinctive flavour, and, naturally, the challenge. /ppChef Allegra McEvedy says she can see the point of mixing salty and sweet, but isn't sure about introducing meat into the equation. She enjoyed Blumenthal's ice cream, "but Heston is one of the cleverest chefs in the world, and it takes that brilliance to pull it off. I'd be worried about people putting bacon into their panettone bread and butter pudding."/ppSelfridges began selling Mo's Bacon Bars last month; they sold out in 48 hours, but have since been re-stocked. The bacon-flecked chocolate smells of bonfires and cigarettes, and is greasy on the tongue, with a strong bacon aftertaste. It also left me with meat in my teeth, which wasn't especially welcome. /ppOn such evidence, pig in our pudding does, as McEvedy says, seem a step too far.

Comparativement à l'équipe formée en l'an 2000 par Bush pour administrer les affaires étrangères, celle de Barack Obama se caractérise par sa capacité à s'attaquer aux dossiers chauds à court terme. Elle se distingue également par la présence d'un républicain à un poste-clé: la défense. Elle se singularise enfin par la nomination au secrétariat d'État de sa principale adversaire lors des primaires, soit évidemment Hillary Clinton. a href=http://www.ledevoir.com/2008/12/03/220409.htmlSuite/a

Then, it didn't have a big traffic funnel to bring any kind of mass to the social net, and if
