Disney Channel is definitely THE place to go for outstanding programming for children and the Wizards of Waverly Place has been a big winner in that category at the Emmy's. How do the children of Wizards themselves become empowered with the magical capabilities passed down by their parent? They earn them. Father Jerry (David DeLuise) is a former wizard himself and he tries to teach his three kids to never take their potential powers for granted. They need to learn to get on in life without use of the magical power they now have because it may not last. But of course kids being kids they love to play with what they have and the act of turning an ordinary orange into a cupcake or change the settings on a clock prove irresistible to them. However the "Wizards in training" ultimately must compete to see which one will carry on the family trade because only one can hold the powers and the others will simply become mortals. Selena Gomez (The Suite Life on Deck, Sonny With a Chance) stars as well as performs the title song "Everything is Not What it Seems".

Everyone knows how harmful some chemicals and insecticides have proven to be, even to the point of making many species extinct. By recycling, reusing, and in many instances, repurposing much of what is otherwise cast aside we help by making our environment sustainable. We want our grandchildren to be able to see and appreciate all the glory of nature and live in a safe atmosphere free from harmful chemicals. It has taken us decades to put earth in harms way but with care and thoughtful planning we can reverse most of the damage already done.

"Minute to Win It" gives you everything you loved at your eighth birthday party, now with cash prizes instead of cake and ice cream. Recently renewed for another season, NBC's flagship no-brainer game show returns with all the audience's favorite games and a few new wrinkles. As always, contestants will enjoy opportunities to dazzle with their skill at balancing dice on popsicle sticks, flipping pencils from the backs of their hands, collecting balanced balls while blindfolded, and clocking circular steps on a pedometer. In the American version, "["Minute to Win It'] features everyday Americans competing in 60-second challenges with household objects for a shot at a million bucks. But as the money increases, so does the level of difficulty." These strikingly attractive, fit "everyday Americans," of course, have been practicing these tricky maneuvers on their gaming systems and rec room floors, so that they generally will risk all their big earnings to stay in the game; social historians call that risk-taking "rugged American determination." With a million American dollars at stake, the reward apparently is worth the risk. "Minute to Win It" airs in seventeen other countries, comes in a board-game format, and has been adapted for PlayStation and Wii.
