Booster Seats for the Old

           In 2005, more than 1,400 child occupants died in motor vehicle crashes and nearly half were unrestrained. The government wants to save children by making them sit in boosters seats.

More than 203,000 occupants under 14 years of age were injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2005. The government wants kids twelve and under to sit in booster seats to keep them safe. The old booster seat law required kids older than 4 and younger than 8 or less than 80 pounds to sit in a booster seat. With this new law it will change to 12 years old or younger. I think it is a bad law because the kids may be taller than there mom but there mom doesn't have to sit in a booster seat. That would be crazy. They need to keep the same old law. Eight years and older can wear a seat belt.

End of World or New World?

On March 11 at around 2:46pm Japan was a witness of a massive 8.9/9.0 magnitude earthquake. It caused damage with blackouts, fire and tsunami. Nuclear Power Station and the cooling systems at three separate reactors are suffering problems. Officials have reported that a partial meltdown has likely occurred at the reactors, though the extent of the damage to the core is not yet clear. If the reactors melt then radiation poison will spread through Japan and neighboring countries. The soil will be unable to grow produce and Japan will have to buy produce from other countries like America. Some people believe that the end of the world is coming. If produce will become less susceptible then we will not have enough food and die. Some people believe that it may be good for America because if we improve our agriculture then Japan and neighboring countries will buy from us freeing us from debt. I believe it would be an awesome thing for America but Japan will have a lot of problems. Personally if I were a farmer in Japan I would move to America so that I could do what I do for a living and I could live in peace but it would be a whole new life. America is definitely different from Japans agriculture.

G-Murk Making His Voice Heard

            This article was very intresting. It talks about Calvin Bell, a student at PHS, and his life style of rapping.  I have never met Calvin. I believe he would be a nice person to get to know. I think it would be awesome to have a rap battle in the district to see if he really is the best rapper in the district. That would be a fun and awesome fundraiser idea.
