Who needs T.V. News, Newspapers and Radio News?
By Jesse S. Somer
T.V. and radio got you down? On-line current events and blogs make being informed a much more enjoyable experience. For many the on television has become a trying time of the day. Focused mainly on negative events, you may have to wait through the whole program just to hear the one story you were waiting for. If you miss the 6:00 p.m. show, waiting until the late night segment can be a real drag, especially if you’ve got a lot to do, or have to wake up early the next morning.
My friends, there is an answer to this problem: blogs or on-line current events. You can find all of your favorite broadcasters (E.g.: CNN, BBC) on the Internet, getting up-to-date information at any time of the day or night. You can even read personal journal entries written by multiple correspondents out in the field reporting on several different stories down to the current minute. Instead of hearing all from one voice (often an irritating one), now you can read different human opinions straight from the scene of interest.
Often on-line has a section called “themes” which allows the reader to only hear about the specific areas that interest them. No more waiting through several wars to get to the positive story about the current medical breakthrough that

Struggling Retailers Paralyzed in Loss Prevention Efforts, New Study Finds
Retailers' perception of opportunities afforded by Loss Prevention initiatives based on sales performance, leads one to wonder: Is this a story of how Winners continue to win, or how laggards continue to miss the mark? While there is universal agreement that Shrink control is an ever-increasing retailer priority, Winners (those whose sales outperform their peers and inflation) rank nearly every opportunity for improvement higher than their underperforming peers.

could mean a cure for disease, or the technological idea that might mean the end to extreme pollution levels. Like a newspaper, you can go straight to the “jobs” theme and search through all the current employment vacancies available. If you are obsessed with the negative, themes such as “Disaster and Tragedy” and “Crime and Punishment are still readily accessible.
As the is now on the Internet it has also become an interactive experience in numerous ways. First of all now you can send stories straight to the companies yourself! If the story is deemed worthwhile and verifiable, you may even be published. This is also the case with photographers who have pictures of important events. It really means anyone can become a part of the action as a freelance consultant. Some on-line have “witness” sections where you can tell your story if you happen to have been in the right place at the right time. This option means that we can hear many different views on contentious issues giving a wider perspective to the ‘big picture’.
Some sites also have interactive sites within. For example, on the BBC Blog there is a learning site (BBCi Learning) that involves interactive activities and over half a million pages of factual information and resources available for children, adolescents, and adults. There are competitions and all sorts of games to help educate people in any and every area of interest imaginable.
Another great aspect of these on-line sites is the ability to access archival information. You can watch video and listen to audio recordings of famous historical stories right on the computer. If the day is Feb.3, you can read articles from Feb.3’s from fifty years ago. Looking up any date and year recorded is as easy as pushing a few buttons.
Some services have subscriptions where instead of looking up the website, the you want is sent straight to your email. Being in the know, and being in the now, has never been such an objective, enjoyable, and simplistic experience as in the 21st century. Partaking in a new perspective on life is what on-line current events and Blogs are all about. Jesse S. Somer is a human hoping to help other novices like him see the magic of the world of the Internet. www.m6.net

Wall Street Fraud Watchdog Warns All Investors About Wall Street Brokers and Banks Over Cash Equivalents
The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog is warning investors worldwide to be very careful of what Wall Street calls cash equivalents, such as failed, frozen, or devalued auction rate securities, products like Schwab Yield Plus and or a product sold by TD Ameritrade called Reverse Yield Plus. According to the group,"if you were sold one of these products, and your investment was devalued, or frozen, we want to hear from you. While we are on the topic, we are warning all investors to have your broker or bank investment advisor confirm in writing that your US tax free municipal bonds or VRDN's are 100% safe. We do think a US stock broker or bank investment advisor will put in writing that the US tax free Muni is 100% safe. We expect the US Municipal Market to crash in 2009, because of dramatic declines in US property tax & retail sales tax revenues." Investors or victims can contact Americas Watchdog's Wall Street Fraud Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466, or visit their web site at Http://WallStreetFraudWatchdog.Com for more information.
