I don't have TV. So when I want to watch sports, I can go to my friend's house to watch the game, or I can go watch then stream live thru ESPN 360. ESPN "get's it" when it comes to sports. CBS will always fail because they don't understand fans. I, for example, am a tennis fan. I was looking forward to catching the semifinal match between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer live online. However, CBS carried the match, so I was unable to watch it. I went to CBSSPORTS.com, and looked for a live stream..... Nothing.... so, I listened to it on the radio at www.usopen.org. USOPEN.org is not allowed to carry streams of the games that are hosted by CBS sports, however, they do stream all the matches that are hosted by ESPN.com. So I was unable to watch the match because I refuse to pay for TV (mostly because it is seriously dangerous to one's health to watch). I listened to the radio broadcast, then, and Roger Federer made what he called the greatest shot he had ever made. I was glad to be listening to it on the radio. However, when I went to see that actual video at CBS sports.com, I couldn't see the video. The best example I could find was a crappy youtube video taken by someone. Whatever it is you do... in order to please your customers, you need to give them what they want. CBS failed at this and ESPN continues to succeed because it really understands sports, the players, and most importantly the fans. I'll be watching the finals streaming live at espn360 tomorrow at 4pm.
Oh.. in case you want to see the shot....

State Supported Industries... FAIL!!
Post Office cannot make a profit even with a government protected monopoly over an enormous industry. What an embarrassment.
I can guarantee that postage would drop down to 30 cents if this monopoly was dropped. This is almost as dumb as continuing to imprison people for marijuana usage.

A suggestion
Go invest in commodities now. That way, when gas prices go back up to 4.50 a gallon, you will be rich!!
OIL, GSG, or any commodities ETF is a good call. I'm in!!

Americans Will Never Learn Math
Someone tell me the point of math classes if you can just go to Bing.com and type in x-3/x-1=x-4/x-5.
Of course, there is a point to the math classes, but come on, do you think any kid is going to really learn it anymore when there is an xbox to be played as soon as the math homework is done? This is actually pretty troubling.
I suppose so long as our students don't have internet access during exams, there will always be a way to find out who actually learned something.

Tommy Haas is awesome
From ESPN.com about Wimbledon's most memorable moments....
Most harmful collision: Michael Llodra slamming into a ball girl, then the umpire's chair, against Haas in the second round.
Llodra, an eccentric Frenchman, was forced to retire minutes after the incident in the first set.
Haas, at 31 keen to enjoy the remainder of his career, stayed on the court and entertained the crowd by hitting with a few ball kids.
