I need your help! I'm in the market for a heart rate monitor. Specifically, I want one that has mileage, heart rate (obviously), time and calories. I don't really need GPS functionality. Cost is a factor, of course.
What do you use or can recommend? Polar, Nike, Garmin, et.al?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Reserve has slashed a key interest rate by half a percentage point as it seeks to revive an economy hit by a long list of maladies stemming from the most severe financial crisis in decades.
The central bank on Wednesday reduced its target for the federal funds rate, the interest banks charge on overnight loans, to 1 percent, a low last seen in 2003-2004. The funds rate has not been lower since 1958, when Dwight Eisenhower was president.

WSJ: The Best Economic Stimulus: A Corporate Tax Rate of Zero
Wall Street Journal op-ed: Leave the New Deal in the History Books; Cut Corporate Taxes to Zero and Create Real Jobs, by Mark Levey:
By 1939 Roosevelt's own Treasury secretary, Henry Morgenthau, had realized that the New Deal economic policies had failed. "We have tried spending money," Morgenthau wrote in his diary. "We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work.

Video: Small Business Insurance
A leading organisation of insurers and underwriters has predicted that the global recession and continued rising unemployment rate will see a surge in white collar crimes against businesses. The organisation also found that most businesses are not insured against cyber crimes, which could result in data theft or misuse, or business loss.
A spokes person for the organisation says, “According to a DTI Information Security Breaches Survey, one third of UK businesses think general small business insurance provides full cover for damage to the business arising from data loss, but the reality is quite different, with very few businesses likely to be insured against the result of cyber attacks on its most crucial management and business tool – corporate and customer information, most of which is today held on corporate IT systems.

I was voting today in the Special Elections (for directors in education) for my county and when I came across the blurb that Oregon had a 42% drop out rate it's almost unbelievable. I'm originally from LA and in a city that large, it's a bit easier to believe, but when I stand outside and walk around Portland I just can't see it or believe it. Anyway this post is nothing special, but I do realize now more than ever how important it is that I stay involved in education and to become even more so as budget cuts find there way into the schools.

From Denofgeek.comAs Twilight New Moon soaks up money across the planet, Robert Pattinson has been talking about what we can expect from next summer’s Twilight Eclipse…Even thought Twilight: New Moon has only just arrived in cinemas around the world, the third film in the cinematic saga, Eclipse, has already finished its shoot. Under the stewardship of 30 Days Of Night director David Slade, cameras were packed up a few weeks ago, and the film is already in post-production.And, if you believe the bits and pieces coming out about the film, it's set to be just a little bit different from New Moon. After all, star Robert Pattinson has been reportedly suggesting that the film might actually push towards an R rating, as opposed to the PG-13 of New Moon.We don't actually believe that's going to be the case, though, as Summit Entertainment will have a firm eye on the potential box office returns for the film, and if it puts a PG-13-rated cut of the film out in cinemas, then that's simply going to make more money.
