Some cliche somewhere said that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words.’ This has proven to be the case for me and especially when it comes to fan art. I have always sought out great fan art and have wanted to share it with as many people as possible. “Awesome Art We’ve Found Around The Net” is the outlet for that passion. In this column, I will showcase the kick-ass artwork of some great artists, with the hopes that these artists get the attention they deserve. That’s the aim. If you have any questions or comments, or even suggestions of art or other great artists, feel free to contact me at any time at theodorebond@joblo.com.

A 3 1/2 year investigation into the kidnapping and murder of the American journalist shows that 27 men were involved in the crime-and 14 of them remain free on the streets of Pakistan.

Almost nine years ago, on January 23, 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped off the streets of Karachi, Pakistan, brutally killed a week or so later, beheaded, and chopped into 12 pieces. In July 2002, four men were convicted of Pearl's murder, including mastermind Omar Sheikh and three men involved in sending out ransom notes to the world. Pakistan closed the case.

Toronto -- Canadian wireless and cable operator Rogers Communications saw its third quarter profit dip slightly as higher Apple iPhone sales offset lower broadcast revenue and new digital product sales.

Toronto-based Rogers saw earnings for the three months to Sept. 30 fall 2% to Can$485 million ($457 million), against a profit of Can$495 million in 2008.

Third quarter revenue was 2% higher to Can$3.03 billion ($2.83 billion), against a year-earlier Can$2.98 billion. Rogers added digital cable, Internet and home phone customers, but pointed to slowing new product sales due to fewer new home starts and rising unemployment during the economic downturn.

Rogers also posted lower advertising sales at its radio, TV and print operations partially offset by higher subscriber revenue from its Rogers Sportsnet cable sports channel.

Overall, Rogers' broadcast division, Rogers Media, saw revenue drop 6% to Can$364 million ($343 million).

"Importantly, the results of the quarter reflect record high growth in our wireless data revenues which...

Toronto -- Recovery from the recession by a battered Canadian media sector continued this week with a series of delicate rebalancing acts.

Edward Rogers, the son of the late Ted Rogers, is to become deputy chairman of Rogers Communications, Canada's largest cable TV and wireless phone operator, as it reorganizes its business units to cut costs and adjust to changing market conditions.

Rogers, controlling shareholder of the media group, moves from head of the cable unit to oversee mergers and acquisitions as the company merges its cable TV, internet and wireless phone businesses.

"The historical lines are being blurred," Rogers Communications CEO Nadir Mohamed said of a media convergence typified by young people increasingly using mobile phones to surf the Internet and view video content.

"The changes are very much in sync with where the market is going," he added in a media conference call.
