SPONSORED: We Just Keep Crankin’ It Out . . . thanks to the national media, which takes a discerning view of our region and repeatedly reveals good stuff for all to see. Take a look at the article the New York Times released that was, dare we say, incredibly appropriate called “Cleveland is Rocking,” which chronicled the Cavaliers as the hottest team in the Eastern Conference. If that’s not enough to put some zing in your step, then how about the Wall Street Journal article entitled “Your Mentor Is Out There -- in Cyberspace” regarding JumpStart’s IdeaCrossing website, as a tool to let both prospective mentors/investors and entrepreneurs in need of assistance build online profiles and find each other.
