A Minute of Your Time: "Going Naked"
Following the insurance industry's across the board move to raise rates by as much as 39%, many Americans have decided to "go naked" by opting out of insurance entirely. While it may sound risky, for some it represents the most reliable alternative to an insurance industry that has, over the last two decades, coalesced into just seven companies - a monopoly if there ever was one, and an unregulated one, at that.

A Minute of Your Time: "Wine to Water"
So do you favor a dry chardonnay with your fish? Or maybe something from Provence? Well, it may all be moot if climate change has its way.

"Little Green Shoots - Dennis Hof"
When we read the statement by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that he was starting to see “green shoots” in the economy, we wondered, where? Instead of asking another politician or an economist, we decided to go to the people who would really know: the small business owner. After all, small business owners are lauded by Congress as the “backbone of America,” and they’re also the ones bearing the brunt of the recession.

Reporting For Duty
Produced by Film@11.tv, Israeli filmmaker Michal Zilberman's Reporting For Duty examines the lives and thoughts of three members of Israel's IDF reserve forces who served in the 2006 Lebanon War. Profoundly affected by their experiences, the three soldiers must reevaluate the reasons for going to war, and what exactly duty to one's country means.
