The Credit Crunch, Explained
There's nothing more complicated in the world right now than exactly what's happening with the economy and why. If you just listen to the evening news, you know it has something to do with lending and the stock market and a tightening of credit, but what really happened?

Time has a great step-by-step explanation of exactly what's happened to the world credit market and how it's gotten to the point it's at today.

Personal Websites

Sometimes it seems like everyone has a website... and sometimes more! Between MySpace, blogs, LinkedIn and personal sites, it can seem overwhelming to start to build your own personal brand.

About.com has a primer on how to sort through some of the most prominent options available and how to get started if you've decided it's time to get your presence out there.

Use Your Cell Phone For Travel Ease

If you've traveled anywhere lately, it seems like everyone is looking at his or her cell phone... constantly! If you think they're all just text messaging each other to say "Made it safe," think again.

There are tons of things you can use your cell phone for on the road to make life easier, and not a single one of them has anything to do with calling anyone. MSNBC has ideas on how you can use your cell phone to travel better.

Use Employer Matching To Help The Trust
If your employer has a matching donation program or payroll deduction or you'd like to donate and help The Trust through any other kind of matching gifts program, we've made it quick and easy.
