The U.S has given a $650 million dollar loan to four different companies. The loan is to aid the companies in producing biofuels from waste. It is a known fact that alot of money goes into to fuel industry. It is also a fact that the current mix of gasoline and ethanol is harmful to our environment. I appreciate the U.S stepping in and taking a legitimate step to finding more sufficient and eco-friendly fuel.
This subject interest me because I drive a Ford Explorer, and gas mileage is very important to me. Being that my vechicle is going to have to last me for awhile, I am highly concerned with gas prices and fuel quality. If making gas out of orange peels, peanut oil, or trash will lower gas prices and save the economy then I'm in.
I hope that these biofuel companies make drastic changes and fast. My gas guzzler will not last forever. I may have to invest in an electric vehicle. Gas going green will definitely make the environment a better place for all of us.

Completely Digital?? Mediated:Chp 1
New technologies have been evolving rapidly for many years now. New technology has proven to be the gateway to information worldwide. Mediums such as the internet, radio, and television are highly relied upon sources that have developed as new technologies.
Chapter one of 'Mediated' illustrates the importance of remembering the initial sources of media. Because mankind relies heavily on cell phones and computers, the first mediums of communication are often forgotten. The first news paper, magazine, printing press, and radio wave all play a vital role in the way new technologies developed.
Society has a way of adapting, and new technologies help to make the transition run more smoothly. The world is becoming more digital every day, and new technologies are partly responsible. Truth is, when it comes to technology, the sky is the limit.

Shocking Shooting: Arizona Congresswoman
Arizona Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, and at least a dozen more people were injured in a shooting in Tucson Arizona on Saturday. Six people are pronounced dead. The alleged shooter is in police custody with five separate pending criminal charges.
I heard about this event on the radio on my way to work on Saturday evening. My heart went out to the victims and their families, as well as the family and friends of the shooter. Immediately I knew to turn my radio to NPR to get more information on the subject.
The internet is my medium of choice when it comes to current events. I use NPR, CNN, and my local television stations websites to keep me updated on what is happening around me. Probing for The Real Truth, I found some information that could incriminate the accused shooter in court.
The accused shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, recently posted videos on Youtube.com that showcase his anger towards America, and its political policies. The information surrounding this case is playing out through the media.
New technologies play a major role in this tragic instance. The internet, television, and radio are the mediums that keep the public up to date. New technologies also assist the FBI and other investigators in finding evidence for the case.
I care deeply about the current state of our government and the American people. I pray for speedy recovery of those injured and closure for the families who lost loved ones. The Real Truth is that violence solves nothing, but instead creates more problems.
