A survey of nearly 100 respondents recently asked the question “how do you see middle-aged women online?” The results were intruiging; many respondents indicated that the term “middle-aged woman” should not be associated with women who, according to these respondents anyway, should be in the prime of their lives. The survey covers terminology and concepts surrounding women online, and attempts to find out what features women of middle age most want in a website devoted to them.

In today’s world, all it takes is two hours to ruin a lifetime of work and effort. Most interesting though is that behaviors haven’t changed for the better - just the medium of exposing those who behave in stupid, sexist, degrading, and wildly tasteless ways. Perhaps this event will go down in political history as the “Favreau effect” - what not to do right before you start a job with a new new presidential administration.

with all the talk of an Automaker bailout in Washington, what seems to be ignored is the fact that the hit to auto makers is not just relegated to U.S. made cars. Honda, Toyota and Nissan profits have also dipped as sales have dropped by nearly 40%. That drop is not as large as the nearly 50% drop for American manufacturers, but it indicates that the problem is an economic shift, not something that requires a bailout at a time when everyone is being hit hard.
