My space is for all the music freaks on the web and you sure apt to make good friends and listen to good music too!

Here is Rick Paul from My Space friends. Rick Paul sings from Lake Forest, California. Rick Paul's songs combine memorable pop/rock and country melodies with mature, often thought provoking, lyrics on life and love. His songs have been recorded by independent artists from the USA, Europe, and Asia.

Rick is about to release his new album EP 'That Time of Year' with all the songs for Christmas. This comes after a successful 'The Lord's Prayer' - Our Father who art in heaven.' Rick has sung a beautiful song 'You get what you want' and you can listen these songs on Rick's my space too. 

My Most fav song of Rick Paul is Help Us Understand.

"Help Us Understand"
(Rick Paul)

A little boy in his bedroom, tears streaming from his eyes
Fell to his knees as he cried
He said, "God, I know you can hear me, and you can do all kinds of things
If I can't have Mommy back, would you give her angel's wings"

Oh, Heavenly Father, please help us understand
Why so many suffer in this world that's in your hands
Though we trust you have your reasons
If this is part of your plan
Oh, please, please, help us understand

A young man from the suburbs called his wife from work that day
Said, "tell everybody I'm okay"
Then he paused, and told her he loved her, and she should hug the kids for him
They never saw his face or heard his voice again

Oh, Heavenly Father, please help us understand
Why so many suffer in this world that's in your hands
Though we trust you have your reasons
If this is part of your plan
Oh, please, please, help us understand

Oh it hurts so much
That it's hard to go on
One moment here
The next, they're just gone

Thousands of crying voices were silenced that dark day
All we could do was watch, and pray
So many who tried to help them would sacrifice their lives
As steel and concrete towers crumbled like ice

Oh, Heavenly Father, please help us understand
Why so many suffer in this world that's in your hands
Though we trust you have your reasons
If this is part of your plan
Oh, please, please, help us understand
Oh, please, please help us understand

The recent news around is Google Inc plans to start selling advertising space in 50 top newspapers, expanding the Internet search efforts to provide services off the web and making it easier for companies advertising online to also show off their products in print.

A group of more than 100 Google Advertisers will be able to place bids for space in The New York Times, Gannett, Tribune and Washington Post during a three month test period according to reports on my desk.

Now, I feel this system will indeed increase sales as online journalism is in thing today and competition from online advertising also on a rise. Also google will gain more customers during its pursuit of print, radio and television marketing. Advertisers will have better opportunities to pick specific newspapers and specific sections for their ads. Buisnesses would place bids on ad size, sections and days a newspaper is offering and the publication can view the bids and make selections. The newspaper reserves the right to choose to accept as many bids as their reach.
Yeah, the newspapers would have a wider chance to tap in a group of advertisers and for sure, the print is going to stay even with the online Journalism and blogging journalism is on rise. It only remains to be seen how the trial period goes so that google can start this project by next year.

Any views on this?
