As of February of 2007, the Impact Staff will update its section entitled "Impact Staff Blogs" every Monday while Mercy Classes are in attendance. It is part of our new mission to keep you reading! (and keep us writing…)

BLOG 3/8 - First it was Titanic, and then it was Poseidon. Two movies with two wonderfully enormous cruise ships that tragically sink to the bottom of the sea, and have since kept me from boarding a cruise ship.
We all know the story of the non-fictional Titanic, which hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912, where thousands of people died.

BLOG 2/8 - As a final year student athlete at Mercy College, I couldn't be more elated to depart.
Not only have I gotten worse as a player but the volleyball program at Mercy continues to deteriorate on a yearly basis.

BLOG MARCH 28 -
The Webster's Dictionary definition of suicide is the act of killing oneself. But, from a personal experience, I believe the definition should be: the act of taking one's life and pieces of everyone else's too.
It was the first day of my senior year of high school- a day that should be filled with excitement and success.

BLOG - 3/19 - Recycled speakers and a device that turns anything into a speaker. Yes, these things actually do exist.
Two weeks ago, I came across this really interesting website, Origaudio.com. At first, I didn't know what to expect, but after looking at two products on the website, I thought it was definitely something for everyone to take a look at.

BLOG 2/8 - With the grassroots group "Tea Party" finally organizing and meeting on Saturday, I saw the first real change in American Politics since the abolition of the Whig Party.
Three months ago I would never have said that the voting populace was educated on the goings-on in Washington.

BLOG - 2/8 My jaw dropped when I saw on Yahoo.com that the ever-popular Monopoly is getting a makeover.
Growing up, my family spent many nights around the rectangular board arguing over who was going to be the thimble and who was going to be the boot. Who was stuck in jail, or who forgot to collect $200 when passing "Go" was the biggest of our worries.

As a fan, player or executive for a team, what should the primary goal of a season be? What should everyone hope for? A championship, no?
As simple as that sounds, with a large portion of teams in the MLB and the NBA, that simply is not the case. With some of them, the owners are incredibly stingy and would rather simply pocket the money as opposed to pumping it back into the team in an effort to make them better.

BLOG 2/18 - In this day and age image means the world to people. With fewer role models and corporate companies setting the trend and standard, so many people fall through the cracks dying to make the mark, but at what cost?
It was early this week when I learned some dark secrets.
