A few months ago, I wrote about one of Lindsay Lohan’s many dramas and what she should do to counteract negative press. Today, it only gets worse for Lindsay as she has turned herself in at a Los Angeles courthouse to serve a 90-day jail sentence, her second jail sentence in three years.

Like any good governor, Bev Perdue has a plan. When it comes to the BP oil spill crisis and its potential effects on the North Carolina tourism industry, not only does she appear to have a solid crisis management plan, she also has a solid public relations plan.

I was talking with my cousin last night about local farmers’ markets, and she mentioned that Wal-Mart recently announced that it will be supplying locally grown, organic foods in many of its stores.
