The Death of a Bad Guy.

            Osama bin Laden is dead. If you have not heard about his death you live in a cave in Antarctica. It was yesterday afternoon that President Obama announced Osama had been shot in a firefight with the USA Navy. He was buried in the ocean because no country wanted to bury him. It was believed that Osama was hiding in a cave but it turns out that he was living in a mansion with tons of security next to the Pakistan military academy. The house also didn't have any phone lines or Internet which would make me wonder even more who was living there. 

Many people thank the president for killing him but I think the Navy Seals that were out there fighting and risking there lives. They deserve more thanks then President Obama does. Even CIA director Leon Panetta was more involved then President Obama. She was directly in charge of the military team during the operation. I think the USA should celebrate for know but remember there are still more bad guys out there that are really mad that Osama bin Laden is dead.

Suicide Kit

A clear plastic bag over the victims head, and a plastic tube running from the bag to an orange metal helium tank which was next to a white box, decorated with a butterfly, the box the plastic bag and tube had arrived in the mail with a book inside titled Final Exit these materials were found in 29-year old Nick Klonoski’s room. His lifeless body was on the ground after receiving a silly suicide kit. The kit came from a company that calls itself the Gladd Group. It turns out it is not a group at all but 91-year old women named Sharlotte Hydorn making the suicide kits by hand.

   The family of Nick Kliniski believes she should go to jail for helping him attempt suicide. I believe she should go to jail because she has helped more than 1,600 people commit suicide. She believes you should not die slowly but die by the ones you love which is why she made the kits in the beginning. She should try helping other people live instead of helping them end their life when it is their time to die.

Borrowing on the Kindle.

    Any book lover knows about the unique new e-books, specifically the nook and the kindle. E-book stands for electronic book. It is a screen with no pages to flip. Imagine book lovers that do not have to go to the library to borrow a book. Imagine not worrying about late fees. I am excited to tell Kindle owners that Amazon is starting a library for kindles that allow you to borrow a book for 3 weeks before it disappears from your screen. The technology will be powered by OverDrive, which currently offers services for iPad and iPhone owners. Kindle has not released an exact start date, nor is it known if all cities will receive the service on the same day.

    On Kindles you can take notes and highlight words in the book. Now it will not be illegal to highlight or make notes in a library book because it is electronic. After the 3 week period if the reader checks out the book again, or decides to buy the book, the notes will still be there. Other readers will not be able to see the notes at all. The only thing kindle owners have to do is be a part of a library that cooperates with Amazon and read the book before 3 weeks is up.

Easter Eggs for Dogs?

Last Saturday Tinley Park in Illinois had their fourth annual Easter Egg Hunt from 10:00am until 12:00pm. This Easter Egg Hunt was different though. This Easter egg hunt was for dogs only. The P.A.W.S Animal Shelter designed this special Easter Egg Hunt to raise money for the shelter. Each dog owner paid ten dollars per dog. Each egg was filled with a dog treat and the owners were suppose to just walk their dogs and wait until the dog got an egg.  After they were all done collecting the 3,000 Easter Eggs they could have their dogs take a picture with the Easter Bunny. This was a fun filled time for the folks from Illinois.

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.
