Posen Family Fun - New York Observer Posted: 15 Apr 2010 07:36 AM PDT Zac Posen's mom has returned to her post as CEO of his company, following a three-year break from the position. And having your mom as your CEO is great, reports the Wall Street Journal, assuming that your mom is a hardcore mergers and acquisitions attorney: As Zac prepared to launch a fashion career, Mrs. Posen perused a contract from an investor proposing to back her son. "The terms were egregious. I had smoke coming out of my ears," she says. "It appeared to be a partnership. But there were certain triggers and they would have ended up owning Zac." Her guidance has been especially important as Posen prepares to launch his lower-priced Z Spoke line: He isn't abandoning his Zac Posen runway line. The luxury brand "informs every decision we make," says Mrs. Posen. "Is this brand-neutral, brand-negative, or brand positive?" We see the potential for a whole parenting strategy here. That haircut: brand-neutral. Taking time off school: brand-negative. Calling more often: brand-positive, in a big way. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

Cultural themes, free family fun at Africa in April - Memphis Commercial Appeal Posted: 15 Apr 2010 04:01 AM PDT After two dozen years, the annual Africa In April Cultural Awareness Festival has become an established favorite.

David Acey, who co-founded the event with his wife, Yvonne Acey, relishes the cultural immersion the weekend brings every year with old favorites and new experiences. "Nigeria will have a special booth with items they sell in Nigeria," Acey says, "and everything you want to learn about the country will be there: carvings, art, things they produce and information about commerce." Returning for the 15th year is a delegation of women from Gambia with a dozen booths featuring a rich variety of goods, including purses, jewelry, statuettes and garments. Shaka Zulu, a Mardi Gras Indian from New Orleans, will do his renowned stilt dancing in this morning's Diversity Parade and on the grounds of the festival. The parade begins at 10:30 a.m. today at Fourth and Beale, going west to Second, south to George W. Lee and east back to the park. Acey says there will also be Nigerian dancers in the parade, and he is expecting a Zulu float from New Orleans' Mardi Gras. Saturday is Health and Wellness Day, a priority theme for the festival, Acey says. A large tent will be available to perform blood pressure and diabetes screenings along with other tests and information about diet and wellness. -------------------- Africa in April The free festival is Friday through Sunday at Robert Church Park; from 8 a.m. "until" Friday and Saturday and from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
