Re: Copyright music and lyrics
Copyright has become such a common name, but I don't know exactly how it applies to me. A person has copyrights when their work is created and is known to be theirs. Copyrights, for lyrics for example, last for the life of the author plus 70 years. Having copyright means that you have the right to record those lyrics and distribute them in the way you want to. Currently, if there is any music made before 1922, it has become Public Domain. This means that we can use this in public settings without permission. But I highly doubt that people are going to want to go to rock out to "April Showers" by Al Jolson at homecoming. So I would just be careful not to use music as your own or use it unless you have permission. I know youtube is the biggest culprit of copyright law because people post music on their website and even though it's not for monetary gain, it's still considered copyright infringement.
One of the most famous cases on copyright infringement is a song I'm pretty sure we all know..."Happy Birthday to you." We all have probably sung it close to a million times by now to people for their birthdays, but it is actually under US copyright until the year 2030. Idealy you are allowed to use the song, but you have to pay a $700 royalty. It's interesting to know.

ToonDoo- ID Theft
This is my cartoon I made on ToonDoo.com. I couldn't get the writing to be all the same color, but you get the message of what I am trying to convey.
Podcasts
A Podcast is a web feed that is released every so often. They are downloaded by the user, either a video or audio file, most of time from iTunes. I've used iTunes to download podcasts from my favorite bands like Blue October and Alfie Boe. Mostly they are just interviews, but the people who put them out on the internet have a show that they do periodically and I can just download the ones that interest me.

Re: Identity Theft
From this post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/12/AR2008011200275.html?wpisrc=newsletter&sid=ST2008011201190
This woman decided to use her debit card instead of credit cards to remain debt free. However, credit cards will reimburse their subscribers for fraud charges, but debit cards don’t normally have to. ID Theft is very common nowadays. With the internet emerging with new sites that allow you to buy new items at the click of a button it is just as easy for someone to hack into your accounts and steal your information. All most people need is a credit card number and the code on the back to start charging a few items that you didn’t order. If you want to protect yourself from these types of things common sense should be used. Don’t share information with anyone you don’t trust. Look around for a loan manager or ask friends for references. Credit scores should be checked annually. Another good piece of information is people who call you saying they’re from the bank don’t necessarily have to be from the bank. Use caution when giving out information! People who try to steal your information are exactly just that..STEALING! They are to blame, but don’t make their job easy.

Re: Emerging Technology
When it comes to brain cancer one of the most aggressive forms is Glioblastoma. In a new study published this week, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies studied this cancer in mice. They developed a nanosystem that "combines a tumor-homing peptide, a cell-killing peptide, and a nanoparticle that both enhances tumor cell death and allows the researchers to image the tumors." This is extremely important because Giloblastoma is difficult to detect and treat. It is hard to find and brutal to surgically remove leaving most patients who become diagnosed without many options. This nanotechnology allows for treatment to be done only to the infected tissues without harming other parts of the brain and delivers this treatment directly into the mitochondria of the infected cells essentially destroying it's power house. This system treated all but one mouse in a study of ten infected mice. It is important that we find cures for cancer; to find a way to treat patients with this intense form of brain cancer is an advancement we have all been waiting to hear.
