Whey protein

Whey Protein Insitute is a website that I found that appears to provide excellent information about how Whey protein is made and what Whey protein is.

Other Web sites that discuss Whey Protein:

Bodybuilding.com has information on what and where Whey protein comes from. However, they might try to get you to buy something.

Also, the National Dairy Council has a good description of Whey Protein.

Top 10 Corporate media giants

Media belongs to the people and it should stay that way.

Giant media corporations own and control a lot of the media. There are many smaller media companies that are subcontractors, but it’s still controled and influenced by giant media corporations. Independent media companies don’t stand a chance against these giants. 

 The number one goal for giant media is to grow big and eleminate competition. By becoming so big they do not have to compete with others.  This affects our society.When many small individuals own bits and piece of media, it’s good for promoting diversity and equality. Also, if some companies fail, a few are affected. However, when giant media corporations own all the media, it’s bad. If one giant media corporation fails, it will hurt  and affect many.

Out of the 40 Media Companies, there are at least 6 giant media corporations to watch out for General Electric, Walt Disney, News Corp., Time Warner, Viacom, CBS Corporation.  

 However, according to Advertising Age, the Top 10 U.S. Media Companies in 2008 are: 

1 Time Warner —– $35.63 billion
2 Comcast Corp. — $26.94 billion
3 Walt Disney Co. – $17.49 billion
4 News Corp. —– $15.69 billion

Where to Study Abroad

I want to know what available options I have to go study abroad.

I imagine sometime as a college student if I had the possibility to travel around the world during my course of studying that would be an awesome college experience.

I want to have the ability to change each semester to another university in other countries as I study for my Bachelors degree in Communication.  However, I would choose one university to be my home university to graduate from. 

So, I want to find out if there is University in other countries that offer classes in English that will transfer as a credit towards my home base University.

I want to find out what’s available for the average American students.

Because right now, I think that United States offers more Study Abroad programs to individuals outside of America than it does within.
