Starting a New Business is Worth the Risk

College students find it hard to obtain a job when they graduate.  However, entrepreneurships are also an option, despite the risk involved.  It could be a better choice than applying for a job.

In October, Mr. Gerber started the Young Entrepreneur Council “to create a shift from a résumé-driven society to one where people create their own jobs,” he says. “The jobs are going to come from the entrepreneurial level.”

The Young Entrepreneur Council was formed by young people who have some sort of practice in the real world with creating a new business.  They offer their services to young people who are trying to start their own busniness.  Young adults are finding it hard to get a job, so they turn to entrepreneurship.  It can be successful, and that's why it's worth the risk to them.  These businesses tend to appeal to young people, but they also can flop easily.  On the flip side, they can boom and be extrodinarily popular.  It's interesting to see how these kids are reacting to how the economy is changing. 

New Ideas to Report the News

Newspapers are dying, and the internet is surging, but only in some areas. People tend to only want to read short articles, but Instapaper is combating that.

It is clever because it plays to human psychology by helping us gather articles we want to read, but have no time to read while we are foraging.

Instapaper was created by Marco Arment.  He programmed a machine essentially to sort out what people want to read, to make it easier to find and read longer articles.  Apparently there is a demand for something like this.  Here I thought reading has died all together, but if one were to make it convinient to look up stuff on the internet, then there may be demand.  It's popular among those who want to search for online articles.  It could be the new thing for young people as well.  This is the information era, so this could be a rapidly growing business. 

Clinton and Obama agree on deal

Clinton is extremely popular among the public, and he has long been in sync with Obama. They both restate the position they hold together. They have agreed with the republicans on tax cuts, and the administration could be going somewhere now. Hopeful Clinto will continue to be involved aswell, it seems he gets a lot done.

Washington (CNN) -- The Congressional Budget Office released its score Friday on the tax plan hammered out between Republicans and President Barack Obama, showing a $893 billion hit on the deficit over the next five years.

Odd Luggage Traveling To Munich

Recently terrorism via airplanes has heightened due to recent threats to Europe, and a bag found flying to America that had suspicious contents.

(CNN) -- A suspicious piece of luggage that was about to be loaded onto a plane at Windhoek Hosea Kutako International Airport in Namibia contained no explosives, a spokeswoman for the airline said Thursday.

The contents lead them to believe that terrorists are planning bombings, and are just testing the waters by sending lone bags. Threat levels around the world are raised, particularly in Europe and the US. Terrorism is certainly reaching new levels as the schemes created are more devious.

Haiti Cholera Outbreak

Haiti is blaming the U.N. peacekeepers for a recent cholera outbreak.  U.N. claims it is not their fault.

Port-Au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- Like cholera itself, Haiti's protests against the United Nations spread Thursday to the capital, Port-au-Prince, as angry people took to the streets demanding the global body get out of their country.

The U.N. is there to help, and even if they did cause the outbreak, Haiti still needs their help. They are a poor country, and can use all the help the can get. The ruined cities, and high population in cities can be a contributor to the outbreak. Once it's there, the U.N. can only be of help for them in the end.

Obama Still Fighting For Peace

Obama isn't letting down on his figure of peace as he pushes for nuclear reform with Russia.

WASHINGTON — President Obama escalated the pressure on the Senate on Thursday to approve a new arms control treaty with Russia before the end of the year, saying, “This is not a matter that can be delayed.” But a new survey of Republican senators cast doubt on his chances of success.

Obama is pushing for the New Start treaty.  However, he may be over-zealous because the treaty isn't fully explored and analyzed, which is the reason even Jon Kyl, a negotiatior on the treaty, is hesitant.  Others aren't promoting the treaty either.  Yet Obama wants to go with the treaty and start making peace in the world.  Maybe this is the reason he won the noble prize, although he didn't think he deserved it.  Obama's promises were extensive, and he can't do all the things at once, but this aspect of his campaign is now coming to life.  Maybe the unseen changes just take time, which would be a reasonable assumption when considering the much needed reforms.  However, this treaty may not be a priority due to the little support it has.
