March seemed to be the start of the perfect world for new solo artist/song writer Keri Hilson, as Hilson released her first solo album, “In a Perfect World.”

The album, originally due to be released in 2007, but delayed by many setbacks, is well worth the wait.

Representing the “dirty south,” 27-year-old Hilson was born in Decatur, GA, only a few miles outside of Atlanta, according to the biographical material provided by her publicist. Known as “Keri-Okey” by her friends, she has been on this musical journey for a while now. Growing up watching shows like Star Search and Showtime at the Apollo, she was already planning a career in music at age 12.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama marked his first 100 days in office Wednesday with a broad assurance that the country is on the road to recovery and that there is no cause for panic on threats ranging from the swine flu to nuclear weapons in Pakistan.

In an evening news conference, Obama defended his formal ban of extreme techniques the Bush administration used to question terrorism suspects, and his decision to declassify memos outlining the tactics. He said there have been "no circumstances" so far "that would make me second-guess the decision that I've made."

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama announced Thursday that Italian carmaker Fiat would buy Chrysler and that Chrysler would enter a surgical bankruptcy that would let the storied American carmaker shed debts that it could not negotiate away.

"For too long Chrysler moved too slowly to adapt to the future. My job as president is to ensure that if tax dollars are being put on the line they are being invested in a real fix that will make Chrysler competitive," Obama said.

Roger Sherman, April 30, 1721 – July 23, 1793, was the only person to sign all four great documents establishing the United States: the Articles of Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the United States Constitution.

From the National Archives Experience:
In 1723, when Sherman was 2 years of age, his family relocated from his Newton, MA, birthplace to Dorchester (present Stoughton). As a boy, he was spurred by a desire to learn and read widely in his spare time to supplement his minimal education at a common school. But he spent most of his waking hours helping his father with farming chores and learning the cobbler's trade from him. In 1743, 2 years after his father's death, Sherman joined an elder brother who had settled in New Milford, CT.
