The Economics of Martha Stewart Living
1)product placement: advertising products on TV shows.
2) Martha charges about $10,000 for a 30-second spot to advertise a product on her show.
3) No, i dont think its hurting the show because if the people see what products shes using and they like it, they will continue watching the show and buying that product.
4) i think product placement is a good idea because it gives credit to the product thats being used and its basically its and AD on tv.

SAVING OUR DIGITAL HERITAGE.
How does the situation today compare with what happened at the library of Alexandria?
- Because just like the "library of Alexandria in Egypt was one of the most devastating losses of knowledge in all of civilization" almost 44% of websites since 1998 vanished, meaning a bunch of information was lost.
Give a summary of the article and your own feelings as to whether the American government should invest money in this project.
-The American Gobernment should invest money in this project because if our daily things like cellphones, ipods, computer etcs use internet things and websites then without that we wont be able to use any of that.
The article talked about how bad the problem can be because internet practicaly can relate to anything, it can be found almost anywhere and the average american uses it everyday for news, communication etc. So without internet or websites we would bearly have anything or we would but things wouldnt be as advanced.

2 CNNmoney articles
Buffett wants 'huge' business
the article is about a man named Warren Buffett and how he wants to buy a huge, big business. Im guessing mr. buffett is a really big known man because he has an article on how he will like to buy a bigger business for his berkshire hathaway insurance and investment company and later would sell other investments to buy it. Buffett is a little worried that this will not work but he is hoping it does.
Gas prices hit record high
This article is about how gras prices keep on going high and now they have already beat the record. the article says that gas proces have gone up 12 cents higher than they were a ear ago, this might not seem much to the ones that dont drive, but to the ones that do it does because they are the ones working and paying for the gas. Even the lowest average is still a lot to be paying for gas.
