ED'S TRUST FUND DEADLINE EXTENSION
*******
Ed's Trust Fund (a $1000 scholarship!) deadline is being extended until August 10th. Ed fears that prospective fall interns didn't get what he meant the first few times he advertised his free money giveaway. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE AN INTERNSHIP LINED UP TO APPLY. So if you're applying for unpaid internships for the fall (like the millions that are below in Whispers Jobs) apply for the $1000. Why the hell not?! We'll tell you if you've won in the next couple weeks--if you don't end up getting an internship after all, we'll just give the cash to the next runner up who does. Make sense? Questions email Ed at ed@ed2010.com.

Just Going for Broke
By Keith J. Kelly

http://www.nypost.com/business/just_going_for_broke_business_keith_j__kelly.htm

The tortured tale of The Source, the embattled hip-hop magazine, wound its way into bankruptcy court yesterday.

Three disgruntled creditors filed an involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against the Source Enterprises Inc. which could force a liquidation sale.

The filing derailed a plan by Textron financial, the Providence, R.I.-based investor that had loaned the Source's former executive team of David Mays and Raymond "Benzino" Scott some $18 million, to finally extract itself from the troubled hip-hop operation.

Textron hoped it could conduct a much-delayed auction of the stock it owned when the court ordered Mays and Benzino to relinquish ownership after running up millions in unpaid bills and reneging on the company's loan obligations. Black Enterprise/Greenwich Street Partners, another lender of money to the old regime, had been attempting to run the magazine for the past several months.
