This week I want you to find your own current event article that interests you. Tell us what the article is about and why you chose it. Also, post a link to the article in your blog comment. The assignment is due Friday October 9.
The reason i choose this article is because it tells the rel truth about the war.This will probaly never end well for the United States.War in iraq is costing alot of money,and it only will get worse if we dont pull out now.
i picked this article because it just caught my eye. its so devastating and it happened to innocent people.Its about a quake that happened in Indonesia and more than 600 people were buried alive. According to the officials, the quakes will most likey double. 400 people were attending a wedding and when the quake came, they were sucked 100 feet into the earth.
For my article I chose the top 10 military powers in the world. You can find it on http://www.buzzle.com/articles/top10-military-powers-of-the-world.html.
This article caught my attention because I always wanted to know who has the strongest army in the worl. But what got me thinking that all the countries in that last are not in a war with each other. So it means that every country is trying to upgrade their own power, and want to be ready when they have to face a nation who has a strong army. I was surprised to find India in the top five, because how poor their economic situation is. What amazed me is how much money the U.S. spends on the defense budget. And how many Air Force planes and Navy ships they have more than the second country on the list which is China. I think this article is pretty intersting to know about other countries armies and how strong they are.
I choose this article because I like to keep up with President Obama's helth care plan.He filled the WHite House's rose garden with doctors to discuss the health plan he's trying to put in effect.It shows that he really is trying to improve our health system and that he believe's in equal health oppertunities for everyone. He tells the doctors "nobody has more credibility with the American people on this issue than you do."; and he is very right.
I choose this article because it stood out to me because it was about drug abuse and being a drug addict. I have a couple people in my family that are what you call a drug addict.{Meaning that they have a drug addiction. This explains what a drug addict is and what it mean to have a drug addiction. I want to change this problem, because i feel that everbody deserves a chance to make a change. This also list tha names of drugs that are commanly used. there are also was to pervent this from happening. And it tells you like going to meeting for there problem. And you can also help youth from being in that type of enviroment by easily moving to a more safe place.
I picked this article because it caught my attention. This article is about a family who molested a a 6-year-old boy, choked him to death and then threw his body in a trash bag along a road. Things like this interest me and it makes me really sad and frustrated because they're just little kids that don't deserve dying like that.
The above article happened today, Monday, Oct.5,2009..The article talks about how India got flooded by heavy rains. Over 270 people died in the flood and about a million people had to flee from their homes.
This article is about how Auto Sales weakening after the Cash For Clunkers program. Cash For Clunkers was a government program that gave you $3500-$4500 for your old gas guzzler or your run-down car. Many dealer sales jumped while the program went on but dropped drastically since the program ended. I chose this article because I am a car fanatic.
This article is about how teens are affected by internet and internet addiction. Many teens who are depressed, have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or social phobia look to the internet and computer for comfort. There were many studies done to observe how many adolescents are addicted to the intertnet. This article also lists what adults can do to help teens and other young ones not be addicted to the internet or reduce their use of time on the computer. Internet addiction could become one of the most chronic childhood diseases in America.
I chose this article because I know many people who spend a lot of time on the computer everyday. At first, the title made me think that if you spend too much time on the computer, you would likely get ADHD or teen depression, but it's actually about teens who are depressed or who have ADHD who like to go on the internet for "therapy." I like this article because it makes me aware of how much time I spend on the computer and it makes me question myself: Am I addicted to the internet?! :O I don't think so, but I hope others read this so they'll be scared or something.
This article is about Dogfighting and The First Amendment. It starts tomorrow Tuesday,Oct.6,2009. This article talks how wrong it is and what they are doing to dogs are wrong. A man who is a pitbull lover filmed the fights and sold it as a commercials. The films shows fights mainly in Japan. They also show pitbulls hunting boars which is illegal. By reading this article I've learned that it is cruel to have dogs fight.
The website i chose was http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/05/ohio.lethal.injection/index.html. This article was about the delay of an execution of a murderer named Lawrence Reynolds. Governor Ted Strickland decided to delay the execution due to the attempt of Rommel Broom's execution which failed because they weren't able to find veins suitable for the chemicals. I chose this article because I thought it was very interesting. I would have never thought that there could not be a suitable vein to put lethal injection in.
This article is about a 20 year old guy that is suspected of killing four people. The police said that they were murdered in such a sick way that they can't even describe it. He is suspected of killing Mark Niederbrock, Emma Niederbrock, Melanie Wells, and Debra Kelley which was their whole family.
I chose this article because it explains that the music we listen to may contain lyrics that may talk about inappropriate things and some kids may take it too seriously. For example, in this article, this dude was listening to a genre of music called horrorcore and the lyrics to horrorcore talks about killing people and stuff of that nature. This kid even sings horrorcore and one day, he just had the idea to go and kill a whole family. I want to share this article so that if you hear a song and it tells you to do bad things, don't do it!
My Article Talks About A 8- Year Old Boy Who Killed His Father and His Fathers Roommate. The Boy Was Charged As A Juvenille and He has also been charged with 2 Accounts of murder. Neighbors say That He Has Been Abused, And That It was simply Self Defenese. The Judge Called A Gag Order On the Trial, Which Basically means That They Will Withhold Information.. Its Simply not right. They Didnt even question the boy on why he killed his father. This Article really caught my attention.
This article is about a pill that is called Plan B. It is an over the counter pill that girls over the age of 18 can purchase. The federal court has ordered that the FDA approve it for girls who are 17 years or older to purchase. They believe that this pill can reduce the percentage of abortion. Also, this pill also can cause a stir because the religious conservatives believe that this pill can encourage premarital sex & it is very similar to abortion.
The reason why I chose this article is because there are a lot of teen pregnancy going on in the United States lately due to failure in using protection or taking extra precautions. This pill can be the answer to prevent teen pregnancy OR, in other words it can put it in a hault. I do think that teens who are sexually active should look into many options like this one.
On March 10, 2009 President Barack Obama gave a speech at the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He stated that he is in deliberation on making school hours and days longer for students. He is even claiming that he would like school open on weekends. Longer days and Shorter summers, thats what he wants. I picked this article because im not going to be affected at all. Im a Senior in high school, around the time he finalizes this plan I will have an High School Diploma. If I was affected by this I wouldn't agree. Im tired as it is, longer hours would only make me cranky and close minded. They feel that students lose too much info. during summer vacation they might be right, but Obama wants to build a stronger economy with more advanced learning.
This article interested me because it was one of those abnormal events that stand out from traditional news. It's about how a teacher in Ohio grew a pumpkin to almost 1,725 pounds in a contest. She won $2,500 and is possibly going to claim the world title.
What most interested me about this particular article is that is was telling you that this certain type of cancer could come from your everyday activity.This cancer is called Glimas is a brain cancer that starts from when you are younger. THis cancer can kill you and is one of the worst kinds. It also can come from your height and your energy exoenditure.
The article I chose is about the top U.S. commander of Afghanistan's request for Obama to send 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan. This caught my attention, because I've been hearing a lot about how Obama is struggling to make a decision on whether or not to send more troops, or send them all back. So, it made me really curious to see if he's made a decision or not.
After hearing about the 16 year old honor student getting beaten to death, I decided to look up the article. It's sad that an innocent kid who had a lot to look forward to in his future, can lose his life to something as stupid as a school fight.
The article states how the schools in Chicago have been transforming into Charter schools, and smaller campuses. Which has been causing more violence, especially since the schools are along gang lines. As the boy, Albert, was walking home from school, he got caught up in a fight. A video shows him on the sidewalk about six blocks away from his school, curled up and getting beaten with railroad ties.
Albert was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I hate how kids these days get into fights over really idiotic things. And the innocent ones, like Albert, get hurt for no reason.
This article is about men, convertible drivers are at a higher risk of hearing loss than women. Dr. Hamid Djalilian of the University of California stated that occupational and recreational noise exposures are likely the explation to why men are at greater risk. Those noises include service in the armed forces. Activities such as hunting and motorcycle-riding, which men typically do more than women, also create high levels of noise that may impair hearing. When you drive a convertible, all the wind and air pressure are damaging your ear drums, that may cost hearing loss.
I chose this article because I was looking around with car articles and came upon this one. I do realize that a lot of people enjoy to drive convertibles and like to keep their music on high, but did not know that it could cost hearing loss. It interests me because I wanted to know more about both cars and health and this one helped. They never know what they'll pass by. If you pass by a loud construction site, it'll damage your ears. And if you were in the army, you become exposed to lots of excessive noise such as airplanes, helicopters, and guns which also harm your ears. One way of preventing hearing loss while driving convertibles is avoiding loud sounds.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/07/home.invasion.slaying/index.html There was a deadly home invasion in New Hampshire,that happened in a small,rural town.It left a mother dead and a mother and her daughter extremly hurt,Four teens is being charged in connection of the act. Towns people says events don't happen there often as such.
My article Is about Babies Born to Childhood Cancer Survivors Do Well.It interests me because I never heard of something like that. I Choose this article because I will like to know does babies born to childhood Cancer Survivors do well. I know one thing the researchers said that the survivors of the childhood cancer are able to have children and their children will not have birth defects. Also women who survives childhood cancer would probably have light wieght or premature babies.
I chose this article because it talks about the health bill. It gives a lot of information about the bill also. It says how much the bill will cost and the percent of people it will cover.
This article is about a 92 year ols woman; Jane Bockstruck who took a 13,000-foot plunge from an airplane. To me it shows that age is simply nothing but a number, you can do whatever as long as you put your mind to it.Paul Peckham, her instrector rewarded Bockstruck with silver wings that he won in the Air Force. He stated that they represent courage.
This Article about 4 major earthquake had hit South Pacific Ocean near the island nation of Vanuatu. All 4 earthquake hit less than 11 min. Also The earthquake had did no damage to the island. I chose this article because i like to hear about the earthquake on the earth. But the 4 earthquake did no damage to the island so i was surprise when i heard about the earthquake did no damage.
This article is about the H1N1 virus (swine flu) in New York. New York was one of the nations hardest hit cities for this virus. It also says that the viruses that are going on at this time of the year are unusual.
The reason I chose this article is because the swine flu is a very serious thing. There are alot of people getting sick and dieing because of it. I chose this article because it helps you realize that this a very serious matter and people should start being more careful and take this serious because it is not a joke.

This article keeps slapping me in the face every year lol..but anyways I chose this article because I think its a Tragity how people were so cruel back in the day. How they kept people in a cage or in a cell of some type. They would be smooshed and people would die of hunger or thirst. Its just so devastating or how they would stack the dead people one ontop the other. About 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazi. The Nazi believed that Germans were "racially superior." Its Just so Horrible and I would like to learn more about this...
The reason i picked this article is because , now in the U.S we have plenty teenagers that are getting pregnant . And the causee of that is because they're not using protection , and if they are, it's not good protection , I think this pill can help plenty teenagers , it will prevent many teenagers from getting pregnant . And the pill is over the counter , so they have no excuses of why they are pregnant !
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113624846 Obama seeks middle ground on Afganistan I decided to pick this article because Pres. Obama has finally made a choice to increse troops in the war.Reporters were told that troops pulling out of the war was "off the table".Obama's adminstration request a calling of 40,000 troops to battle, maybe 10,000 to 20,000 troops.As for the overall stragety,the Obama adminstration is apparently considering narrowing the mission Afgan., focusing tightly on Al-Qaida and downgrading the emphasis on Tailban (qtd. in Obama seeks ground).
This article is about an FBI who suspects an afghan immigrant of a terror attak. The FBI beleived that the suspect sait for the associates to ourchase more chemicals for a homeade bomb.The mans father is out on bond. This caught my attention because of the recent event with Iran and the suspision about the nuclear facility. and now we have suspected a terroist on an attack.
The article I chose is about a terror suspect name Najibullah Zazi.Najibllah is an immigrant from Afghanistan he is accused of plotting a terror attack in New York City, o fficials that are investigating the case said he he was sending insructions to to purchase more bomb-making chemicals."The court documents says that investigators have been paying clpse attention to his cell phone and e-mail. The reason why I chosed this article because I think its very important. I think that investigators need to keep a very close eye on this case because we do not need another terror attack because during 9/11 to many people died.
The article I chose was "Former judge goes on trial in sex with inmate case." I chose this article because I thought it was an interesting topic to read about. I also chose it for that fact that it was under the crime topic and it deals with a person that worked for the government. Even people who work in government do wrong. A good example is a judge. The article I read was about a former Alabama judge, who is accused of checking male inmates out of jail, forcing them to have sex with him and spanking them on the buttocks with paddles. He gets charge for kidnapping, sexual abuse, extortion, and sodomy of 14 people. Of course he denies all charges, gets his license suspended, and attorney alleges rasicm.
Title of Article: "Tracking Your Taxes: NIH Spends Millions on Wasteful Research Studies."
Lawmakers in Washington are asking the National Institutes of Health to explain why millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent on ridiculous research projects. The NIH spent $73,000 dollars to study whether the Asian tradition of dragon boat racing will enhance the lives of cancer survivors more than just walking. Some subjects that the NIH studies does not relate to Americans. Researchers say that these studies are important to provide a scientific baseline and result in programs that could help sick people and people who have addiction problems. The ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Rep. Greg Walden, says that Congress could hold up funding for the NIH if it doesn't get answers, but projects already in the pipeline will go forward. This is what the article is about.
The reason why I chose this article is because I think that this article is very interesting. When I first find this article, the title of it caught my attention immediately. Plus, I want to know why taxpayer money was spent on ridiculous reasearch like the dragon studies. I also want to share this article to taxpayer because it give them a clue on how the money they pay for tax is used.
I chose this article because I really don't know the risks and dangers of having high cholesterol or heart disease.
This article talks about a woman named Erin Peiffer who is 48 years old and never thought she would have heart disease. She knew she had high cholesterol around the age of 20 but didn't think she would need to worry about it. It's important to know your cholesterol number so you can know what types of food you need to cut down on and whether or not you need medical help. Your cholesterol number should be no greater than 200 to be in healthy condition. Erin later found out that her left artery was 99% clogged and needed open-heart surgery. Knowing your cholesterol number can make a huge impact on your life; it may even determine how long you'll live.

Having a baby is hard and aggravating work and girls dont understand that. So girls need to do whats right and quit worrying about what he's gonna think of you!
In this article it talks about how NASA has spent 79 million dollars to crash a craft into the moon. Really? Is this what we are doing now? Just blowing money away to crash stuff into the moon? I believe that not only NASA but this country has been taken over by overgrown 5th graders. Please tell me im not the only one. Anyways they are doing this to see if there is water or ice undernear the dusty layer of the moon. We could probley just go uo there witha drill and take care of that but then the 5th graders might do in an uproar. If another crazy idea like this, say maybe going to see if the moon is actually made of cheese, is put into place I swear im moving to Austraila.
My article name was "President Barack Obama's visit to New Orleans." Its about President Obama being scheduled to vist New Orleans on October 15 to see the progress the city has made since Hurricane Katrina.Also it talks about how Mary Landrieu will be with President Obama during his vist to the N.O.
Link for my Article: http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2009/10/states_senators_want_more_than.html
I chose this article because its is about the long war that has been against al-Qaida and its good to know about whats happening across the countries in the east.
I'M VERY INTERESTED IN THE SNOW MELTING IN ANTARCTICA.TAKE A MOMENT A READ A PIECE OF THE ARTICLE "THE SURFACE SIZE OF ANTARCTICA IS 1.5 TIMES THE SIZE OF THE U.S., IT CONTAIN 90% OF EARTH"S FRESH WATER, MAKING THE LARGEST SEA LEVEL RISE" I THINK ITS VERY SCARY AND A WAKE UP CALL TO US AND OUR LIFE. THIS IS FREAKY THAT THE ICE IS STARTING TO MELT IN THE COLDEST CONTINENT AND ONLY SATELLITIES CAN CAPTURE WHATS GOING ON. THE ICE IS SLOWLY MOVING INTO THE INLAND. THIS WORLD WE CALL EARTH AND OUR HOME CAN BECOME NOTHING BUT WATER..."YOU FIND YOUR SELF SCARED???" THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE END OF THE WORLD JUST BY SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS ICE??? WELL "PSSHHH" I KNOW I AM I WISH SOMETHING COULD STOP IT BUT WHO KNOWS WHATS GOING TO BE THE OUT COME. SOME PEOPLE PROBABLY DONT EVEN CARE. I THINK ITS BC WERE THE REASON WHY THE EARTH IS FALLING APART WE INVENTING ALOT OF THINGS AND NOT KNOWING IF WE ARE INTERRUPTING WITH OTHER THINGS THAT BEEN HERE B4 US. I DO BELIEVE IF OUR TEMP.(HEAT) REMAINS THE SAME THE SNOW WONT STOP MELTING
I read about Social Security. First, it give me a small background on how social security came into play. In 1935 just like today the banks fails and the stock market crash leaving millions out of their savings. It also states that in about 2012 social security will be done for because more money is going out then coming in. They also stated some way in which we can keep social security. “cutting benefits across the bored (or just the wealthy)” I don’t think that is the answer we are looking for because we all need to type benefits to do basis things like going to the doctor. “raising the payroll tax across the bored (or just the wealthy)” don’t think that is to good either because the less money that is coming the less we have to buy things we need and support the economic growth. “raising the age at which retirees become eligible” doing that may help and then it may not. Its not a good thing to say but if they raise the age in which they would be able to get social security they will be dead before they can even get social security but that is less money government would have to pay. But it want help because if they are not getting the money from social security at their old age they would have to work for somebody to make the money. Which is just not a good thing for older people to be working with all the other problems they have. “Letting workers contribute to personal security accounts that the government would manage (or that workers would manage themselves)” this to me make more sense, that way the people are sure that they will have money when they choose to retire. They also will know how much money they will receive after retirement and the can assure the families they are gone. The article have a lot more info but this is what was important to me.
This article is about the Obama mortage loan relief plan reaching its goal. This plan helps homeowners pay more affordable prices for their mortage each month. The government expects this program to help more than 3 million people within the next 3 years. With the bad economy and the recession, unemployment is rising. And because of that, this program can be help to people. Some though, are skeptic about this plan.
I chose this article because it has my name in it! But on a more serious note, I chose this article because it has to do with the current economy that we have. I feel like it's an issue that needs to be discussed.
The fuss in this article is about a chief in the Marshall Islands wanting to up the rent of 17 million to 19 million- which permits the U.S. to use his land for a missile testing base on his land when the current lease ends in 2016. The reason was sought to be because proposed new land use agreement by the government seems to be "'one-sided' and not offering "just compensation" for use of his land beyond 2016".
This article is interesting because I would have never thought missile testing bases would cost anything for the simple fact that its isolated, remote, and useful for nothing more. But it is smart to by the land for cheap and rent it out for big bucks, but when is enough really enough?
I know missile testing is a big deal, but to jump from one million up to a few more million because
I chose this article, because it relates to what used to be ,sort of a hobby of mine. Its about planes, the air force, nasa and that type of stuff. Boeing, along with nasa, has set to launch a new space plane called the x-37b. The craft was developed by boeing under a $ 301 million contract to build and test an approach and laanding vehical, and one for obital flight testing. It is planned to launch on January,2010 to orbit the earth and land in either Vandenberg Air Force Base or Edwards Air Force Base in california, which is like the biggest, baddest, just know that its the place to be for expirimental aircraft.
This article is about President Obama winning a Nobel Peace Prize. He won this prize because of his efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people. To me this shows that Obama is a good president and he wants to make America a better place. Obama is the third president to win the Nobel Peace Prize. I feel that Obama has not been president that long and has already demonstrated great things. I was interested in this article because to me it was good news and it truly shows that Obama is a good president. I also think Obama was the right one to get this prize.
President Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his attempts to nullify the increase of nuclear arms, and mitigate the intense tensions between the Muslim world. He also stressed the idea Diplomacy and cooperation instead of unilaterism. Nobel observers were surprised at the choice so early in the Obama presidency, 2 weeks before the nominee deadline of Feb. 1st. I chose this article to reinterpret because at first glance it inspires me to inspire others do the right thing.
I chose this article because its proving that we were having more of our soilders killed than iraq in this war and obama is thinking bout putting more soilders into this war go check it out for urself
I chose this article because I feel it is a disgrace to African Americans as a people. With all the black on black crime that's taking place in America today. It's simlply proving the statics and all the negativity about our race correct in some aspects,not altogether. I feel that it was horrible to see a mother have to lose her child the way the way she did. The generational curses has to be broken now or never, or else the fate of our future is at stake!

For my article I chose the top 10 military powers in the world. You can find it on http://www.buzzle.com/articles/top10-military-powers-of-the-world.html.
ReplyDeleteThis article caught my attention because I always wanted to know who has the strongest army in the worl. But what got me thinking that all the countries in that last are not in a war with each other. So it means that every country is trying to upgrade their own power, and want to be ready when they have to face a nation who has a strong army.

And how many Air Force planes and Navy ships they have more than the second country on the list which is China. I think this article is pretty intersting to know about other countries armies and how strong they are.

ReplyDeleteThis article is about Dogfighting and The First Amendment. It starts tomorrow Tuesday,Oct.6,2009. This article talks how wrong it is and what they are doing to dogs are wrong. A man who is a pitbull lover filmed the fights and sold it as a commercials. The films shows fights mainly in Japan. They also show pitbulls hunting boars which is illegal. By reading this article I've learned that it is cruel to have dogs fight.
The website i chose was http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/05/ohio.lethal.injection/index.html.
ReplyDeleteThis article was about the delay of an execution of a murderer named Lawrence Reynolds. Governor Ted Strickland decided to delay the execution due to the attempt of Rommel Broom's execution which failed because they weren't able to find veins suitable for the chemicals. I chose this article because I thought it was very interesting. I would have never thought that there could not be a suitable vein to put lethal injection in.

ReplyDeleteThis article is about a 20 year old guy that is suspected of killing four people. The police said that they were murdered in such a sick way that they can't even describe it. He is suspected of killing Mark Niederbrock, Emma Niederbrock, Melanie Wells, and Debra Kelley which was their whole family.
I chose this article because it explains that the music we listen to may contain lyrics that may talk about inappropriate things and some kids may take it too seriously. For example, in this article, this dude was listening to a genre of music called horrorcore and the lyrics to horrorcore talks about killing people and stuff of that nature. This kid even sings horrorcore and one day, he just had the idea to go and kill a whole family. I want to share this article so that if you hear a song and it tells you to do bad things, don't do it!

ReplyDeleteMy Article Talks About A 8- Year Old Boy Who Killed His Father and His Fathers Roommate. The Boy Was Charged As A Juvenille and He has also been charged with 2 Accounts of murder. Neighbors say That He Has Been Abused, And That It was simply Self Defenese. The Judge Called A Gag Order On the Trial, Which Basically means That They Will Withhold Information.. Its Simply not right. They Didnt even question the boy on why he killed his father. This Article really caught my attention.
http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2009/04/22/fda-approves-plan-b-pill-for-17-year-olds.html
ReplyDeleteThis article is about a pill that is called Plan B. It is an over the counter pill that girls over the age of 18 can purchase. The federal court has ordered that the FDA approve it for girls who are 17 years or older to purchase. They believe that this pill can reduce the percentage of abortion. Also, this pill also can cause a stir because the religious conservatives believe that this pill can encourage premarital sex & it is very similar to abortion.
The reason why I chose this article is because there are a lot of teen pregnancy going on in the United States lately due to failure in using protection or taking extra precautions. This pill can be the answer to prevent teen pregnancy OR, in other words it can put it in a hault. I do think that teens who are sexually active should look into many options like this one.

ReplyDeleteOn March 10, 2009 President Barack Obama gave a speech at the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He stated that he is in deliberation on making school hours and days longer for students. He is even claiming that he would like school open on weekends. Longer days and Shorter summers, thats what he wants. I picked this article because im not going to be affected at all. Im a Senior in high school, around the time he finalizes this plan I will have an High School Diploma. If I was affected by this I wouldn't agree. Im tired as it is, longer hours would only make me cranky and close minded. They feel that students lose too much info. during summer vacation they might be right, but Obama wants to build a stronger economy with more advanced learning.

What most interested me about this particular article is that is was telling you that this certain type of cancer could come from your everyday activity.This cancer is called Glimas is a brain cancer that starts from when you are younger.

This caught my attention, because I've been hearing a lot about how Obama is struggling to make a decision on whether or not to send more troops, or send them all back. So, it made me really curious to see if he's made a decision or not.

ReplyDeleteAfter hearing about the 16 year old honor student getting beaten to death, I decided to look up the article. It's sad that an innocent kid who had a lot to look forward to in his future, can lose his life to something as stupid as a school fight.
The article states how the schools in Chicago have been transforming into Charter schools, and smaller campuses. Which has been causing more violence, especially since the schools are along gang lines. As the boy, Albert, was walking home from school, he got caught up in a fight. A video shows him on the sidewalk about six blocks away from his school, curled up and getting beaten with railroad ties.
Albert was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I hate how kids these days get into fights over really idiotic things. And the innocent ones, like Albert, get hurt for no reason.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/10/07/hearing.loss.noise/index.html
ReplyDeleteThis article is about men, convertible drivers are at a higher risk of hearing loss than women. Dr. Hamid Djalilian of the University of California stated that occupational and recreational noise exposures are likely the explation to why men are at greater risk. Those noises include service in the armed forces. Activities such as hunting and motorcycle-riding, which men typically do more than women, also create high levels of noise that may impair hearing. When you drive a convertible, all the wind and air pressure are damaging your ear drums, that may cost hearing loss.
I chose this article because I was looking around with car articles and came upon this one. I do realize that a lot of people enjoy to drive convertibles and like to keep their music on high, but did not know that it could cost hearing loss. It interests me because I wanted to know more about both cars and health and this one helped. They never know what they'll pass by. If you pass by a loud construction site, it'll damage your ears. And if you were in the army, you become exposed to lots of excessive noise such as airplanes, helicopters, and guns which also harm your ears. One way of preventing hearing loss while driving convertibles is avoiding loud sounds.

I decided to pick this article because Pres. Obama has finally made a choice to increse troops in the war.Reporters were told that troops pulling out of the war was "off the table".Obama's adminstration request a calling of 40,000 troops to battle, maybe 10,000 to 20,000 troops.As for the overall stragety,the Obama adminstration is apparently considering narrowing the mission Afgan., focusing tightly on Al-Qaida and downgrading the emphasis on Tailban (qtd. in Obama seeks ground).

This caught my attention because of the recent event with Iran and the suspision about the nuclear facility. and now we have suspected a terroist on an attack.
The article I chose is about a terror suspect name Najibullah Zazi.Najibllah is an immigrant from Afghanistan he is accused of plotting a terror attack in New York City, o fficials that are investigating the case said he he was sending insructions to to purchase more bomb-making chemicals."The court documents says that investigators have been paying clpse attention to his cell phone and e-mail. The reason why I chosed this article because I think its very important. I think that investigators need to keep a very close eye on this case because we do not need another terror attack because during 9/11 to many people died.

I also chose it for that fact that it was under the crime topic and it deals with a person that worked for the government. Even people who work in government do wrong. A good example is a judge. The article I read was about a former Alabama judge, who is accused of checking male inmates out of jail, forcing them to have sex with him and spanking them on the buttocks with paddles. He gets charge for kidnapping, sexual abuse, extortion, and sodomy of 14 people. Of course he denies all charges, gets his license suspended, and attorney alleges rasicm.

Title of Article: "Tracking Your Taxes: NIH Spends Millions on Wasteful Research Studies."
Lawmakers in Washington are asking the National Institutes of Health to explain why millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent on ridiculous research projects. The NIH spent $73,000 dollars to study whether the Asian tradition of dragon boat racing will enhance the lives of cancer survivors more than just walking. Some subjects that the NIH studies does not relate to Americans. Researchers say that these studies are important to provide a scientific baseline and result in programs that could help sick people and people who have addiction problems. The ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Rep. Greg Walden, says that Congress could hold up funding for the NIH if it doesn't get answers, but projects already in the pipeline will go forward. This is what the article is about.
The reason why I chose this article is because I think that this article is very interesting. When I first find this article, the title of it caught my attention immediately. Plus, I want to know why taxpayer money was spent on ridiculous reasearch like the dragon studies. I also want to share this article to taxpayer because it give them a clue on how the money they pay for tax is used.

ReplyDeleteI chose this article because I really don't know the risks and dangers of having high cholesterol or heart disease.
This article talks about a woman named Erin Peiffer who is 48 years old and never thought she would have heart disease. She knew she had high cholesterol around the age of 20 but didn't think she would need to worry about it. It's important to know your cholesterol number so you can know what types of food you need to cut down on and whether or not you need medical help. Your cholesterol number should be no greater than 200 to be in healthy condition. Erin later found out that her left artery was 99% clogged and needed open-heart surgery. Knowing your cholesterol number can make a huge impact on your life; it may even determine how long you'll live.

Just blowing money away to crash stuff into the moon? I believe that not only NASA but this country has been taken over by overgrown 5th graders. Please tell me im not the only one. Anyways they are doing this to see if there is water or ice undernear the dusty layer of the moon. We could probley just go uo there witha drill and take care of that but then the 5th graders might do in an uproar. If another crazy idea like this, say maybe going to see if the moon is actually made of cheese, is put into place I swear im moving to Austraila.

THIS IS FREAKY THAT THE ICE IS STARTING TO MELT IN THE COLDEST CONTINENT AND ONLY SATELLITIES CAN CAPTURE WHATS GOING ON. THE ICE IS SLOWLY MOVING INTO THE INLAND. THIS WORLD WE CALL EARTH AND OUR HOME CAN BECOME NOTHING BUT WATER..."YOU FIND YOUR SELF SCARED???" THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE END OF THE WORLD JUST BY SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS ICE??? WELL "PSSHHH" I KNOW I AM I WISH SOMETHING COULD STOP IT BUT WHO KNOWS WHATS GOING TO BE THE OUT COME. SOME PEOPLE PROBABLY DONT EVEN CARE. I THINK ITS BC WERE THE REASON WHY THE EARTH IS FALLING APART WE INVENTING ALOT OF THINGS AND NOT KNOWING IF WE ARE INTERRUPTING WITH OTHER THINGS THAT BEEN HERE B4 US.

I read about Social Security. First, it give me a small background on how social security came into play. In 1935 just like today the banks fails and the stock market crash leaving millions out of their savings. It also states that in about 2012 social security will be done for because more money is going out then coming in. They also stated some way in which we can keep social security.
ReplyDelete“cutting benefits across the bored (or just the wealthy)” I don’t think that is the answer we are looking for because we all need to type benefits to do basis things like going to the doctor.
“raising the payroll tax across the bored (or just the wealthy)” don’t think that is to good either because the less money that is coming the less we have to buy things we need and support the economic growth.
“raising the age at which retirees become eligible” doing that may help and then it may not. Its not a good thing to say but if they raise the age in which they would be able to get social security they will be dead before they can even get social security but that is less money government would have to pay. But it want help because if they are not getting the money from social security at their old age they would have to work for somebody to make the money. Which is just not a good thing for older people to be working with all the other problems they have.
“Letting workers contribute to personal security accounts that the government would manage (or that workers would manage themselves)” this to me make more sense, that way the people are sure that they will have money when they choose to retire. They also will know how much money they will receive after retirement and the can assure the families they are gone.
The article have a lot more info but this is what was important to me.

The government expects this program to help more than 3 million people within the next 3 years. With the bad economy and the recession, unemployment is rising. And because of that, this program can be help to people. Some though, are skeptic about this plan.

The reason was sought to be because proposed new land use agreement by the government seems to be "'one-sided' and not offering "just compensation" for use of his land beyond 2016".
This article is interesting because I would have never thought missile testing bases would cost anything for the simple fact that its isolated, remote, and useful for nothing more. But it is smart to by the land for cheap and rent it out for big bucks, but when is enough really enough?

To me this shows that Obama is a good president and he wants to make America a better place. Obama is the third president to win the Nobel Peace Prize. I feel that Obama has not been president that long and has already demonstrated great things. I was interested in this article because to me it was good news and it truly shows that Obama is a good president. I also think Obama was the right one to get this prize.
President Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his attempts to nullify the increase of nuclear arms, and mitigate the intense tensions between the Muslim world. He also stressed the idea Diplomacy and cooperation instead of unilaterism. Nobel observers were surprised at the choice so early in the Obama presidency, 2 weeks before the nominee deadline of Feb. 1st.
