Thinking about going with out a bank account??

With the banks going down and out, thought about going without a bank?? Cash is hard to deal with. Everything has to do with online banking and paying off bills online. But on the other hand banks keep track of you and you need an account for student loans. Plus, overdraft fees and other "hidden" fees with get you later. So what are we suppose to do with everything going bad with the economy and the world market. But we need to build credit and keep it good. I think that there should be another alternative to these problems. I want a system that i dont get overdraft fees or other annual fees that i did not plan for. Being in college has alot to do with money. But i guess for now we need to just stick though this rough patch. hopefully someone is in a position to help.

TV vs the Net

Explains in a view point of why tv is the same but the internet is changings things for every media type; movies, music, books, etc. very interesting about how our media is headed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7644849.stm

Obama and the I-phone

Recently, supporters of Obama made a app. on the I-phone to remind when election date is, who your contacts are supporting, wallpaper, and also, news, videos, and talking points about who to elect. Media use of the I-phone is used for politics. The communication is SO unbelievable about new ways to rally your campaign. I have heard the I-phone has UN-amounted potential but really, this is going to have a huge impact on this and future elections. But how huge? or what are the pros and cons of this?? This is really interesting about how our generations' media is headed.

Football in the Artic Circle?

A H.S. football team is going to play the state playoff game in Alaska first time ever north of the Arctic Circle. And as seen in the photo, polar bears wander around as well, and yet some people don't believe that global warming is happening. Overall, how can people be so ignorant about the current situation about this issue. Even for the first time ever scientist are finding polar bears that are drowning. I strongly recommened everyone watching "The Inconvient Truth". http://www.climatecrisis.net/ this a great film with tons of information.

Palin

Recently, in history class we disscussed what women roles were back in the 1600... mostly during the Salem witch hunts. Right now i was curious about what our society thinks of Sarah Palin. This women as an image to our country, representation as the undecided VP of the U.S.A., why more and more i have seen jokes or spoofs of her in a sexually context. Women have to responsibility of taking care of the home and the family. But why is it i realize that alot of people are still afraid of a women in such power. On NPR, there was a Republican commentor on, his opinion about Palin was undecided. But moreover, on NPR, the evangelist VP of the church, a republican dominated church, was up in the air about Palin and was more in support of Obama in the end. A women in her position has put alot of doubt... but why??

Tour De Fat

Tour De Fat came and went. I have never gone to an event like this before. I had a blast but what was even greater was to find out there is a cause to Tour De Fat. Not just beer drinking and another event for craziness. But enjoying bike riding more than driving. A lady here gave away her Saab black convertible for a bike for a charitible cause. And it was local cause too. All the proceeds go to the cause as well. I thought just to let it be known that is a great event and there was a great goal.

Troy Davis

Recently, on NPR i heard of a man from Georgia, Troy Davis, to be executed by lethal injection. In this instance, he is charged with murder... a cop. This happened in 1999.Two hours before his execution, the supreme court called it off for a re-trail. Troy did not hear from the guards he was not going to be executed but from watching T.V. The media knew before he did. How is that even appropiate to a man who is about to die and waiting to hear first hand about his situation? But some how the information about the re-trail made it to the media first than this persons life?? I think this is totally unsuitable how this situation was handled.

US government rescues insurer AIG

On BBC online, "The US Federal Reserve has announced an $85bn (£48bn) rescue package for AIG, the country's biggest insurance company, to save it from bankruptcy.
AIG will get an $85bn loan, in return for an 80% public stake in the firm.
The rescue follows the collapse of US investment giant Lehman Brothers, which caused share prices to plummet across the world's financial markets.
Authorities are hoping the bail-out will avert the threat of a global financial meltdown.
The Fed's move is viewed by some as the most radical intervention in private business in its history and has helped fuel a tentative rally on global stock markets." How risky can this be for the national and world economy? Is this going to future disadvantage the economy to pull back up?

Cover on US weekly! ! !

How does this help comfort the American people that she is the person for the job? "Babies, Lies, & Scandals" reads with her holding her baby with David Duchovnys' Sex Addiction on front page. Overall, how positive can this attention be for McCain & Palin campaign?
