Anderson should be an immediate spark off the bench.Later in the draft, New Jersey had the 40th pick. With this, they chose to take a scorer in Chris Douglas-Roberts. The Memphis shooting guard is a steal at 40 and should be a good scorer on the next level. He could be compared to Chicago's Ben Gordon.So, how is any of this relevant to bringing in Lebron?Well, with a large amount of cap space already cleared the Nets will likely look to move Vince Carter, probably for youth and draft choices. The team appears to be making an attempt at having some experience in a young team by 2010.If all goes well, the Nets will be a legitimate contender to make the playoffs by the time Lebron is available.Lebron is also good friends with Jay-Z, a part owner of the Nets. Lebron has toyed with the media by saying things about New York being his favorite city and Brooklyn being his favorite of the five boroughs.There is still a lot of time and there is a chance we see Lebron stay put in Cleveland It should be very interesting..
What is the Real Thing, Really?: Coke's Earth Day PR Thinly Veils Poor TrackRecordATLANTA, April 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- This Earth Day, Coke is using itsannual shareholders' meeting to spin the corporation's image green. For the second year in a row, Cokeexecutives challenged a shareholder resolution with the SEC on technicalgrounds that would have encouraged the corporation to provide more completeand timely information to consumers on the quality and testing of its Dasanibottled water and other Coke brands Opposing city efforts to support public water When the U.S. Conference ofMayors proposed a resolution to cut city bottled water budgets to reduce wasteand promote tap water, Coke and its trade group, the American BeverageAssociation, aggressively lobbied against the resolution.Opposing bottled water source labeling. Coke continues to refuse to follow thelead of Pepsi's Aquafina in labeling the source of Dasani. In 2007, Pepsiagreed to print "public water source" on Aquafina labels. Dasani also comesfrom the same source as tap.Bottling despite drought. When a report funded by Coke suggested thecorporation stop bottling in water parched areas in India, Coke's IndiaDivision told a reporter the answer was, "not to stop bottling." The pumpskept running, and this same pattern has born out even in Georgia, where cityrationing during drought conditions didn't preclude Coke from continuing tochurn out its products, including bottled tap water, at full-tilt."Shareholders have a right to know that their company is continuing to coverup its damaging practices with glossy corporate social responsibilityreports," said Richard Girard from the Polaris Institute.
"Claiming waterneutrality and highlighting sustainable initiatives does not change thenegative and very real impacts Coca-Cola has on communities around the world."Much of Coke's green PR centers on a murky concept called "water neutrality"which may turn out to be yet another Madoffian ponzi scheme allowing Coke torob Peter to pay Paul, as it were: running one community dry to hydrateanother. And given Coke's track record, the scheme has critics asking, "shouldwe really be entrusting the distribution of water resources to privatecorporations?"Coke has also sought praise for building a recycling plant to manage a smallfraction of its waste stream, while at the same time opposing bottle recyclingbills across the country. Each year, billions of pounds of plastic waste fromCoke products wind up in landfills, incinerators, or as roadside litter."People don't get kudos for picking up after themselves, nor should anenormously profitable global corporation -- it's just the right thing to do,"said Daniel Stockton, a student organizer at University of Georgia. "Since asyoung people we are inheriting what this corporation leaves behind, we're justasking Coke to do 'the real thing' and respond directly to our concerns andstop deflecting."SOURCECorporate Accountability InternationalKristin Urquiza, +1-617-412-7524, or Sara Joseph, +1-617-784-5278, both ofCorporate Accountability International.
