I am in a 12 team fantasy football league, and as of now, I am in 2nd place. My team has a lot of depth, so many times I have trouble deciding what RBs and WRs to sit or start. http://www.rotowire.com/blogs/blog.htm?sp=nfl
is a blog that i found that will help me make my decisions. There is a list of about 7 bloggers who rank players of every position every week. I am glad about this because there are many opinions to consider, so I can listen to who I like. This blog will give me more information and insights than I would be able to find anywhere else.

Market getting better?
In this blog, I read that today the market stopped its sharp decrease, and some stocks actually started to regain value. Personally, I thought that the market would continue to get worse, so I restrained from purchasing any stock. If i could have bought yesterday, and sold today, I could have made some money. The big name futures like the DOW, the S&P, and NASDAQ have each increased in value from yesterday. http://www.stockdollars.blogspot.com/ gives you the details of the market in an easy to find place.

Are we the dumbest generation?
After reading Boston.com's "8 reasons why this is the dumbest generation," I saw that the article had facts about our generation that are unfortunately true. I do strongly disagree though that we are the dumbest generation. I just think that we do not take advantage of all the technology and opportunities for us to excel and learn.
For example, the internet is a great resource for us to obtain knowledge, and it is much more efficient than spending hours browsing through books at a library. Besides making it easier to learn for school, the internet gives us access to thousands of sites that talk about current issues and other topics for independent learning. This is why I was very surprised and angry to hear that a quarter of high school graduates do not know who Dick Cheney is. This is why I was very surprised and angry to hear that only half of high school graduates know who our allies in WWII were. Instead taking full advantage of the internet to learn, we waste way too much time playing video games and going on facebook.
We are certainly not the dumbest generation. Increased competitiveness for college spots and higher IQ scores are proof of that. But with the resources available to us now a days, we should be so much smarter about the issues of the past and the present. Just like our technology is exponentially getting better, we too should be growing exponentially smarter.
