			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The universally recognized best American heavyweight boxer and the IBF’s #1 rated contender for the Heavyweight Championship of the World, 30-0, 16 KO’s Fast Eddie Chambers, will appear live for the full hour on Monday, 11/19/07 from 9:00 AM to 10:00AM EST on WHCR 90.3 FM &#8211; Harlem Community Radio – The Voice of Harlem on the “The Mind of a Champion” program. The appearance will be simulcast worldwide live at <a href="www.WHCR.org">www.WHCR.org</a> and Chambers will be joined by Team Chambers members, Co-Promoter Robert Murray, Jr. and Business Advisor, Leland Hardy</p>
<p>Chambers (<a href="www.FastEddieChambers.com">www.FastEddieChambers.com</a>) is indisputably the most wholesome athlete and soon-to-be-recognized most admirable role model in professional sports. He is considered by most pundits to have a greater potential to achieve global superstardom than any other professional boxer. Chambers has never even been behind in a fight and has effortlessly beaten all comers, including his having scored a stunning knockout on ESPN on February 9, 2007 against the previously unbeaten, Derrick Rossy, followed by soundly thrashing top contender, Dominick Guinn, on Showtime TV on May 4, 2007, followed by his latest triumph, the dismantling of the world’s #3 ranked Heavyweight, Olympian, and former title challenger, Calvin Brock, in an Heavyweight Championship Elimination bout on Showtime TV on November 2, 2007. The dashing, articulate 25 year old Chambers’ next scheduled victories will be over 2004 Olympic Gold Medallist, Alexander Povetkin, followed by the reigning IBF Heavyweight Champion, Wladimir Klitchko.</p>
<p>Chambers, nicknamed “Fast Eddie” for having the fastest hands in the Heavyweight Division since Muhammad Ali, is being marketed to the masses in a manner heretofore unprecedented in sports. Among other things, Chambers is the first ever professional athlete to have a comprehensive Internet e-commerce strategy as well as an e-Charity strategy. Chambers’ website, <a href="www.FastEddieChambers.com">www.FastEddieChambers.com</a>, for example, features on-line event ticketing to most any collegiate or professional sports or entertainment event worldwide through his <a href="www.WorldChampTickets.com">www.WorldChampTickets.com</a> website. He is also a global spokesperson for <a href="www.InternetEquality.org">www.InternetEquality.org</a>, the global initiative that aids in the provision to those with limited Internet access and limited knowledge of the Internet space, the tools and information necessary to participate at all levels in the Internet revolution</p>
<p>Chambers has an endorsement relationship with <a href="www.phone.com">www.phone.com</a>, the next generation broadband telephony service that, along with <a href="www.grassroots.org">www.grassroots.org</a>, <a href="www.software.com">www.software.com</a>, <a href="www.seo.com">www.seo.com</a>, <a href="www.graphics.net">www.graphics.net</a>, and others is a member company of <a href="www.WashingtonVC.com">www.WashingtonVC.com</a>.</p>
<p>“I really look forward to my appearance on WHCR FM’s ‘The Mind of a Champion’ with the show’s host, Brother Leroy. I’ve had the pleasure of listening to both his Sunday afternoon and Monday morning programs and he definitely addresses the important issues that his listeners in the Harlem community and others worldwide need to hear” said Chambers. “With all of the things that Team Chambers is trying to do to tie technology to the visibility that will come with my winning the Heavyweight Championship of the World, I’m glad to see that people all over the world can listen in to his broadcasts live on <a href="www.WHCR.org">www.WHCR.org</a>” added. Chambers. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mike Mann is driven. He wants to make money &#8211; lots of money. Of course, that doesn&#8217;t exactly make him unique. The thing that&#8217;s different about Mann, who has already made tens of millions of dollars, is that his primary reason for chasing greenbacks is to give them away. He&#8217;s been doing it for years through the well-known Grassroots.org  foundation he started and he will step up his efforts with Make Change! Trust  through its new website that just launched.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you spend much time surfing the web you have probably noticed logos for Grassroots.org  popping up all over the net. Companies operating in all corners of the domain industry are linking to the site and the Grassroots banner is even appearing on some PPC  (pay per click) parking pages, ground previously reserved for profit making links only. As you might expect from the .org  extension, Grassroots is a charitable organization, but many are wondering exactly what it is they do and how they’ve managed to rally such widespread support.</p>

Mike Mann, who founded BuyDomains back in the days when I started my company, HitDomains and DomainSystems, and Mike sold BuyDomains to Highland Capital and started another organization called GrassRoots.org, which is a non-profit and which is basically dedicated to helping less fortunate folks get up and running on the Web and helping them with infrastructure.</p>
