I love my iPod, but there is a new music player vying for my heart: the slotRadio ($79) by Sansa.
The two-inch-by-two-inch clip-on music player comes with a data card with 1,000 songs from the Billboard music charts, with prearranged playlists by music genre. I tried the additional Health and Fitness mix, which includes the mixes for warmup, cardio, roadwork (cycling), power (lifting), yoga, cooldown, and the even more mellow spa mix.

Even before Barack Obama was elected to the presidency, Rupert Murdoch had declared war on him via the personalities of Fox News Channel, a subsidiary of Murdoch's media conglomerate, News Corp.
Since Obama's election, the cable channel's hosts and paid analysts have launched a full frontal assault on the president, smearing his nominees, calling him a racist and suggesting that his administration was trying to persuade disabled veterans to off themselves.
Now the fearmongers at Fox are crying foul since the president and his aides declared Fox not to be a news organization.

I am not sure what makes the swine flu a national emergency.
Obama declares swine flu a national emergency
By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer Philip Elliott, Associated Press Writer – 19 mins ago
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, giving his health chief the power to let hospitals move emergency rooms offsite to speed treatment and protect noninfected patients.
The declaration, signed Friday night and announced Saturday, comes with the disease more prevalent than ever in the country and production delays undercutting the government's initial, optimistic estimates that as many as 120 million doses of the vaccine could be available by mid-October.

The following is a copy of an email I received this week from the Obama camp. Apparently Fox is one of the few media outlets which is dispensing REAL information and it is making Obama and his minions nervous. Seems they have forgotten our country has "FREE SPEECH" which includes the ability to have opinions which may not agree with those of our lofty leader.
The democrats are SO scared that they actually are spending a great deal of money to attempt to thwart FOX NEWS and their ability to perhaps share some inconvenient information that Obama is really uncomfortable about ANY of us reading. Interesting isn't it! A president of the United States is advocating limiting our free speech and fair information! That smells like a rat. NOTE: I did not change this email except removing their links. I refuse to help them in this goal.
Dear MoveOn member,
All year, FOX has worked 24/7 to block President Obama's agenda—repeating lies about "death panels," promoting Tea Party protests, and whipping up fake political scandals.1
Now, President Obama is fighting back.

ASAN, South Korea - Brides in white gowns and Japanese kimonos joined grooms in black suits and red ties Wednesday for the Unification Church's biggest mass wedding in a decade — a spectacle church officials say involves 40,000 people around the world.
The "blessing ceremony" is the church's largest since 1999, and may well be the last on such a grand scale officiated by the 89-year-old Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the controversial founder of the Unification Church.
