Economics Students - Current Event due Monday, January 30

This week's Current Event (C.E.) homework is to locate an Economics Themed Blog. Try searching for a blog containing a unique name for some aspect of economics you would like to learn more about. Once you locate the hyperlink to a blog, copy-and-paste the link into the www.tinyurl.com website. The example below shows what happens to the long hyperlink when it comes out of tinyurl. It is that shorter URL that you should post as a blog comment. Try to post that comment in your class period page because it is easier for me to find your name to give you the credit for this assignment.

I searched for "Economics Blog Free Market" and received this result - http://blogs.lawrence.edu/economics/tag/free-market-monday

then, I put it through the tinyurl,com website and this is the shorter re-direct

You can also custom name your tinyurl like this

=================================================================

Economics Semester Begins

Homework for Periods 1, 3, and 5 is to complete Section 1 Assessment of Chapter 1, #'s 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 on Page 10

Additionally, each week you are required to "invest" a minimum of 10 minutes separate from our reading and other out-of-classwork, acquiring knowledge of a current event with an economics theme.

There are practically limitless themes, as you will soon learn, where Economics is the subject. For this week, you could earn credit for this portion of the assignment by simply recording a BLOG comment about something you have already learned, or discovered. Indicate the source of your discovery and how you might incorporate what you've learned in your comment.
As you have already learned the basic fundamental problem Economics hopes to resolve is SCARCITY, there will only be chairs for students who complete the homework and exchange it for a chair AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD.

STUDENTS WHO DO NOT SUBMIT THEIR HOMEWORK MAY NOT RECEIVE A CHAIR.
