XM and Sirius

Is satellite radio going to make it?
Although XM and Sirius use satellite radio, they are very different from each other. For example Sirius channels sound like normal radio stations, but without commercials, while XM channels sound like somebody took a random pile of CDs, shoved them in a changer, and hit the "shuffle" button. Differences like this can cause problems in choosing what they will do, so they might not work good together.
Will the merger hurt or help the industry?
This should help the industry because a lot of money, in revenue, should be coming in.
Will the merger hurt or help consumers?
This could hurt consumers because the company can now change there prices becase the competition is gone.

Gears Of War for Xbox 360 won eight statues while Wii Sports won a decent three at the recent Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. Gears of War emerged as the evening's big winner last night at the 10th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards hosted by The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS), taking eight Interactive Achievement Award statues, including Game of the Year honors. Nintendo's Wii Sports pulled in the second most awards with three wins at the star-studded event hosted by comedian Jay Mohr at "The Joint" in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV.

2) John Mayer wins 2 Grammy's for Continuum
Commentator Ryan Seacrest on the Grammy red carpet asked about Jessica Simpson, to whom Mayer has recently been dating. Mayer answered in Japanese and then suggested Seacrest get someone to "decode" what he said and "subtitle it." The translation came back that Mayer had said Simpson is "very beautiful" and that "you are the last to know." At the Grammy awards yesterday John had won 2 Grammy’s for his newest album Continuum.

3) Heat stop Spurs

articulate and inarticulate

1)
marginalization- the social process of becoming or being made marginal (especially as a group within the larger society).
inarticulate-lacking the ability to express oneself, esp. in clear and effective speech.
political- having a definite policy or system of government.

2) This means that the people who speak clearly and articulate are much more educated and ahead of in articulate people.

3) I think this is false be I know many people who are articulate and they are at the same level of education as some inarticulate people.
