Shortly after the release of Iron Man on Blu-ray on October 1, people started complaining of defective discs; the problem turned out to be that all the Blu-ray players downloading additional content brought down Paramount's BD-Live servers, causing delays while loading the disc.

Fashionising.com- Fashion Insight Podcast. Date Broadcasted: December 17, 2009. Genre: Fashion. Daniel P Dykes, Editor in Chief and Chairman of Fashionising.com, Tania Braukämper, the Editor, and Allan James Barger, the Pictorial Editor, discuss the highs and lows of the fashion trends in the last decade in this podcast, and the new ones in the next decade. Their favorite trends began with hot pants to knee high socks, to dresses with high slits, which all became popular in 2009, and will continue to grow in 2010. The main shift in style will be toward the "future warrior and gladiator look," such as leather accessories with studs and spikes, which is a more modern than the inspired ancient Roman and Greek fashion. This fashion craze is going in the opposite direction than the trends from the last decade, where the preppy, "school-girl" look was popular, due to the hit TV series, Gossip Girl. Additionally, the hair trend of braids, shown on the Alexander Wang carpet, is growing to be very desirable. One of the notorious styles was nudity being portrayed on the covers of many magazines, which all three individuals were not favorable of. Tania mentioned the "convergence of the alternative and the mainstream," which has been accessible through the internet. Speaking of the internet, Daniel and Allan talk over the continuation of the production of fashion websites where they sell high end, luxury clothing for 50-70% off. The future of 2010's fashion industry could be changed from the internet. Another aspect of the past decade shows the rise and downfall of celebrity fashion, because many civilians are not interested in the dramatic lives of celebrities anymore; instead, they would prefer models, such as Lara Stone, presenting clothing trends. Overall the changes in trends from the last decade into 2010 is miscellaneous, and fashionising.com's podcast informs the listener on what to watch out for.

Media literacy is the ability to sift through and analyze the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us every day. It's the ability to analyze all aspects of the media like music videos, online environments and the many advertisements in sports. There are three stages of media literacy. 1: BE AWARE. Know what you watch and limit the amount of time on the internet, television, games, and other forms that market to the masses. 2: BE ABLE TO QUESTION AND ANALYZE THE MEDIA. Learn to analyze what you are watching by observing what is in the advertisement and what is left out. 3: KNOW BACKGROUND INFORMATION. Ask questions like who produces the media we experience and for what purpose? Who profits? Who loses? And who decides? This analysis allows us to understand who drives our global economy and ultimately allows us to make better decisions based on our own opinions.

My article is about what specifically media literacy is and how we can implement it into classrooms to give children a better understanding of our society. The article features 7 excerpts from other articles about media literacy, such as "The 3 Stages of Media Literacy", which states "the principles and practices of media literacy education are applicable to all media- from television to T-shirts, from billboards to the Internet". I believe that media literacy, while it is something that is not needed, can greatly enrich a person's life, especially in the society that we live in today that focuses so much on advertising and different forms of communication.
