1 – 200 of 204 Newer› Newest»My current event is about a six year old boy, in Virginia, who missed his bus to school so he took his parents 2005 Ford Taurus while his mother was sleeping and drove six miles to school before crashing it. He made at least two 90 degree turns, passed several cars and he ran off the road several times before he hit an embankment which was only a half mile from his school. The boy then got out of the car and tried continued to school before getting stopped by police. He only had minor injuries and he wasn’t even wearing a seatbelt. “He was very intent on getting to school,” said Sheriff Chuck Wilkins. He didn’t want to miss breakfast or P.E. He told the police he learned to drive from playing video games such as Grand Theft Auto and Monster Truck Jam. His parents Jacqulyn Deana Waltman and David Eugene Dodson are each charged with child endangerment. The boy and his brother were placed in protective custody. "This really is a story of miracles," Wilkins said. "The Lord was with him, along with everybody else on the highway."
When I read this story I couldn’t believe what I had just read so I had to read it again. I couldn’t believe a six year old boy drove his parents’ car six miles before crashing. He must be a natural and he learned from just playing video games. I think charging his parents of child endangerment and putting the boy and his brother in protective custody is a little harsh because it’s not like they knew the boy was going to take the car. The only thing I think they did wrong was letting him play Grand Theft Auto when he is only six years old. I agree with the sheriff when he said it was a story of miracles because nobody got hurt except for the boy but it was only minor injuries. If I could interview anyone it would obviously be the boy and I would ask him why he didn’t just tell his mom he missed the bus instead of taking the car. I would also ask him what was going through his head when he was driving and ask him if he knows how lucky he is that he didn’t get killed.

President Bush in his final day in office calling world leaders to say his goodbyes. Bush also said his final goodbyes to his staff members as Barack Obama makes his way into the white house as the next president of the U.S. Secretary Dana Perino said that most of Bush and his family's belongings were already moved to Texas. Moving will be complete by the time the Obama family returns from the Inaugural parade.
I would interview George Bush to talk about his days in office as president. All of his retarded speeches and his parties' mistakes over the last eight years. I would call him the most hated and the funniest president because of how dumb he is.

In Long Beach California, an elderly couple was attacked by a Heerman Gull while eating ice cream. It was on New Years Eve when the couple was eating ice cream then along came a flock of seagulls that attacked them. One of the birds hit the man’s wife on the head. The husband was “defecated”, which I think means that he got dookied on. It turns out that Heerman’s gulls are pretty dangerous.
I thought this story was pretty funny! But mainly cause of the fact that it attacked the couple cause of their ice cream. But it kinda scares me cause whenever I go to the beach…I always get some ice cream haha
I would have interviewed the husband of the couple, and ask him how it felt to be “defecated” on.

Hey this is a pretty crazy story! I can't believe a kid would do that. Then again kids these days are pretty stupid. And I know for sure that they know better. Kids these days are taught way more things than they were in the past. So the excuse "but they don't know any better" no longer applies.

Summary: This article is about an Obama look-a-like in Indonesia. Anas looks very similar to our president-elect Barack Obama. Anas' colleagues told Anas that if president Obama won, he would have to dress up in a suit,tie, and take pictures with his friends posing as Obama. The pictures were all over the internet, which drew attention from TV stations and advertising agencies.
Analysis: I thought this article was funny and interesting. I never thought there would be someone else in the world who would resemble our president-elect, Obama. Makes you wonder if there's anyone else in the world that looks like you.
Interview: If I could interview anyone I would interview Barack Obama. I would ask him how he feels knowing there's someone else that looks like him.

He could also imitate him very easily and make a comedy or something. That must be weird being president and knowing that someone else looks like you. It also must be weird to look like the president, like when you going to the store or something and people are all staring at you to see if it’s Obama.

Researchers suggest that domestication of wild plants that grow in salty conditions could help reduce global food shortages. Only 1% of the Earth's water is freshwater, and around the world agricultural areas are becoming less productive because of the increase of salt levels in water supply. The scientists say we will have to make use of salty environments for agriculture. They also predict that future crops could come from plant species that grow in brackish water, around the mouths of rivers, where salt and freshwater mix. The rising cost of bringing in freshwater to irrigate traditional crops may force producers to turn to salt water agriculture. It will be more profitable if we use brackish water and sea water as a resource. The scientists suggest the best way forward is to domesticate wild plants, crossbreeding them to produce higher yields. Genetic modification experiments have been conducted for more than 30 years to try to make crops such as wheat or rice salt tolerant, but they can't. The researchers also say some species of plants currently growing in salty environments could have a future use as biofuels.
We have limited amount of water and most of it is already used for drinking water. We can't be using our drinking water to water the plants. It'll be better if we would just be able to use saltwater on the plants, but we can't. A scientist from Netherlands says that salinisation is irreversible and that we have to accept the fact that we the world is becoming more saline.
I thinks it would really help if we can grow crops out with salt water. It would help a lot because then we won't have to use our limited fresh drinking water. It would be a huge advance. Scientist have tried reduce salt tolerance but it has proven impossible. Maybe in the future we would find an answer and it would really help our agriculture and maybe the future plants can be used as biofuels.
If I was to interview someone I would interview the scientist and ask them if they ever think that they are going be able to reverse salinisation.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama began overhauling U.S. treatment of terror suspects Thursday, signing orders to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center, shut down secret overseas CIA prisons, review military war crimes trials and ban the harshest interrogation methods.
With his action, Obama started changing how the United States prosecutes and questions al-Qaida, Taliban or other foreign fighters who pose a threat to Americans — and overhauling America's image abroad, battered by accusations of the use of torture and the indefinite detention of suspects at the Guantanamo prison in Cuba.
"The message that we are sending the world is that the United States intends to prosecute the ongoing struggle against violence and terrorism and we are going to do so vigilantly and we are going to do so effectively and we are going to do so in a manner that is consistent with our values and our ideals," the president said.
this article talks about closing guantanamo bay in a year. there still remains questions on what is goin to be done with those that have been detained gfor years and who are awaiting trial. they are debaiting in whether back in their home countries or at other federal detention centers — and how to prosecute some of them for war crimes.
if i could interview anyone i would interview obama and ask what klead him to this conclusion in closing the contivorsial prision.

obama had to swear oath again cause chief justice's mistake in the original inauguration.. it was a peice of history that we were alive to witness. i think having a black president will cause alot of problems with ppl that are racist but it will also show that black ppl is equal to everyone else..
if i interviewed anyone i would interview obama and ask him wat he was thinking when the chief justice messed up?
i liked how when we went to class we got to watch the inaguration on the perjector..

Obama gets to keep BlackBerry
After president Obama's everlasting battle, he finally gets to keep his Blackberry at is side. There were questions over the security of his messages were brought up. Obama was then worried that without his Blackberry he would become trapped within the White house's "BUBBLE" and will lose touch with his friends that are outside of Washington. Luckily for Obama there has been a super encryption package created just for the president. This added security will allow Obama to keep his Blackberry for the duration of his presidency.
I chose this article because I thought it was pretty funny, but I understand where he is coming from. I would want to keep my phone, too, but that is what you have to deal with when you are president. All of the security to keep you safe and out of harms way.
I would like to interview President Obama to ask him how happy he is to be able to keep his phone and do I have to be president to get a package like that?

Antarctica is getting warmer rather than cooling as widely believed, according to a study that fits the icy continent into a trend of global warming.
A review by U.S. scientists of satellite and weather records for Antarctica, which contains 90 percent of the world's ice and would raise world sea levels if it thaws, showed that freezing temperatures had risen by about 0.5 Celsius (0.8 Fahrenheit) since the 1950s.
Cooling at places such as the South Pole and an expansion of winter sea ice around Antarctica had masked the overall warming over a continent bigger than the United States where average year-round temperatures are about -50 Celsius (-58.00F).
Its mainly from burning fossil fuels.The Nature study compared temperatures measured by satellites in the past 25 years with 50-year records from 42 Antarctic weather stations, mostly on the coast. Scientists then deduced temperatures back 50 years.
i would like to interview the scientist because sometimes there studys are not accurate and if they think that then they better have 100% proof of this happening

iraq forced to cut spending as oil price falls.
Iraq's government will have dramatically less money to spend this year than expected because of plunging oil prices — a dire economic situation that's already forced the country to slash rebuilding plans by 40 percent, The Associated Press has learned. As the U.S. seeks a timetable for withdrawal, cutbacks on spending and jobs could trigger heightened violence.
U.S. commanders have repeatedly warned that without speedy economic development and reconstruction, the sharp improvements in security since the U.S. troop surge of 2007 could be at risk in a country where about 38 percent of the work force is estimated to have no job or just part-time employment.
But rebuilding requires money. And with oil prices plummeting, the government has been forced to cut planned spending — by one-third overall and 40 percent for rebuilding, Iraqi officials told the AP — and to consider even deeper reductions.Last summer, the U.S. Government Accountability Office — Congress' watchdog arm _estimated that soaring oil prices and the laggard pace of Iraqi government spending could leave Iraq with a cumulative budget surplus as high as $79 billion by the end of 2008. For now, the prospect of even a slowdown in reconstruction money holds dire security implications. It is not clear if the United States would change its still-evolving plans to draw down American troops if violence in Iraq worsened. President Barack Obama said in his inaugural address that the U.S. would begin leaving Iraq to its people.
i would like to interview the iraqi militants for these how they feel about this information i see whats on there side.

A Chinese court sentenced two men to death and a dairy boss to life in prison Thursday for their roles in producing and selling infant formula tainted with melamine, a deadly industrial chemical added to watered-down milk in order to fool inspectors and increase profits.
The swift trial and harsh sentences show Beijing's resolve in tackling the country's stubborn food safety problems and an eagerness by the communist leadership to move past the embarrassing scandal.
With six babies confirmed dead and some 300,000 others nationwide suffering kidney stones and other problems from drinking melamine-laced formula, public shock has turned to simmering anger since the contamination was exposed in September.
Tian had pleaded guilty to charges of producing and selling fake or substandard products.Tian was also fined 20 million yuan ($2.92 million) while Sanlu, which has been declared bankrupt, was fined 50 million yuan ($7.3 million). Among the 21 convictions announced Thursday, a third man was given a suspended death sentence which is usually commuted to life imprisonment, two others were handed life terms, while the remaining 14 defendants were given jail terms of five to 15 years.
I would interview these two jerks i mean they did this to little kids the only reason why they bought maybe because it was cheap but they didnt not know what they are doing but they know it was wrong but they still did it.

U.S. President Barack Obama's decision Thursday to shut secret CIA-run prisons abroad brought renewed calls for their locations to be disclosed as well a fresh denial from Poland, one of two eastern European countries most closely linked to the practice.
Across Europe, governments uneasy that CIA flights had been carrying terrorism suspects through their airports and air space for years said they were relieved to be heading into a new rendition-free era.
Dick Marty, the Swiss lawmaker who spearheaded the Council of Europe investigations that sought to expose the existence of clandestine interrogation centers in Eastern Europe and Africa, said he expected the truth would come trickling out once the centers were closed.
i would like to interview marty because i feel like there is some americans over there and there hiding it.
In Ireland, government and opposition leaders united in praise for Obama's move.
Al-Masri, a German citizen of Lebanese descent, maintains he was abducted in December 2003 at the Serbian-Macedonian border and flown by the CIA to a detention center in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he was interrogated and abused.

This story is about Caylee Marie Anthony,3 years old, who went missing last summer and whos mom didnt call the police for a couple months. The little girl was found dead in the woods. Her remains were found in a bag with a winnie the pooh blanket, a shirt, and a pair of shorts. She was found with duct tape over her mouth and her hair. They also found a heart shaped sticker over her mouth on the duct tape. Her mom is now being accused of first degree murder.
I think this is the worst of situations. A mother is suppose to be someone who takes care of one and someone we can count on for whatever and to know that this mom was able to do this makes me really sad.
If I could interview anybody it would be the grandma. I would want to ask her if she really believes her daughter did this.

This article is about the peanut product recall. There was salmonela in some peanut butter and now there is a recall. Reporters said that there was 31 MILLION pounds of peanut butter that was recalled. The national peanut board said that people who live in America eat about 700 million pounds of peanut butter each year. The company that mad the recalled products was the Peanut Corporation of America, which is not an industry giant, but their peanut paste is used in many other products because other companies buy their peanut paste to use in their treats.
I think that the Peanut Cooperation of America is going to go out of business cause no one is going to want to buy their peanut paste anymore and because of the bad economy. They should also have better health standards for their peanut employees.
If i were to interview something, i would interview a peanut and ask it if it's mad about people being concerned to eat it. I would also ask it "how did the salmonella get into peanuts?"

Reecently a 51 year old Chicago Police officer was arrested on accessive and unreasonable charges. The Chicago police officer pleaded guilty to these two charges without a fight. The victum was a man in a wheelchair. The man was outside of a hospital when he was exposed to the officer. The man had been loud and verbally abusive so the officer used a club like weapon to strike the man in the face and body. keeping in mind that the victum was handcuffed and schackled. The officer said that there was no possible physical threat with the victum. The officer proceeded to hit the victum numerous times in the face and body anyways. At the same time Cozzi prepared a false report on the victum hitting the officer. That was eventually found to be false. The kicker was that this was all filmed by a nearby pedestrian with a portable video camera. This concerns me because it reminds me of the crookid cops in this nation. They have us pedestrians at their mercy if they wanted. I think this article is intresting because it shows how even our system has certain flaws of corruption. It seems as it is everywhere you look. If I were to interview someone it would be the person who videotaped it. Then I would ask what they though about what happrned to the man in the wheelchair.

This made it difficult for workers to file claims after they discovered they get paid less than other colleagues. This can be one of the first major bills signed by Obama, but it will first have to be approved by The house and then sent to the White House.
I think that this article was well written. On the other hand the subject is very discriminating in a way because they are talking about how some poeple are not getting paid the equal wage as their colleagues.

summary: this article is about Bettie Page's farewell and legacy. Legendary pinup queen Bettie Page was remembered at a private memorial service Tuesday. the attendants at her memorial service were about 70 relatives, friends and admirers, including several Bettie Page lookalikes. After the memorial service, Page's casket was taken from the memorial park's chapel to a shady grave site a few yards from Monroe's crypt. "So it is only fitting that her final resting place be here, not far from Marilyn Monroe's final resting place," said Mark Roesler, chairman of Indianapolis-based CMG Worldwide, which markets Page's images.
Analysis: i believe this article is of significant importance, Bettie Page became a huge icon for many generations even if as she says, "I was not trying to be shocking, or to be a pioneer." "I wasn't trying to change society, or to be ahead of my time. I didn't think of myself as liberated, and I don't believe that I did anything important. I was just myself. I didn't know any other way to be, or any other way to live." she has influenced the life of others with her own whether it be in style [obvioulsy] or other personal ways such as confidence or being upnique.
Interview: with the given atricle i would have to say i would want to interview Tempest Storm, former pinup model and actress. Tempest had only nice thing to say about Bettie in this article and i would like to hear more about them from a perspective of a friend.

President Barack Obama is moving quickly to reshape U.S. national-security policy. Thursday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Barack Obama said “there is no time to lose.” The orders reshape how the U.S. prosecutes and questions al-Qaida, Taliban or other foreign countries that pose a threat to Americans. Also he ordered the CIA to close all existing detention facilities and prohibits those prisons from being used in the future. Obama said he would try to seek a lasting peace between Israel and Palestinians. Already on his second day in office, he is moving quickly starting off with his Guantanamo which will be closed. If I were to interview anyone it would probably be the president because what’s going to happen to the detainees and will they be secured.

The youngest residents of the White House have sure grabbed Americans' attention on and offline. It's true that being the daughters of the president of the United States has got to be a tough act. But that mantle is lightly held by Malia, 10 and Sasha, 7, the daughters of first couple Barack and Michelle Obama. Ever since they've been headed to the White House, the daughters have been gaining attention, with the curious turning to their computers to find out more.

I liked this article because ever since there father became a public figure everyone has been talking about his daughter. They are adorable and seem so sweet. I think that every girl wants to dress and be like them. It's funny how little girls can became so loved by people.
If i were to interview someone it would be a girl. I would ask her if she admires the sisters and what she thinks about them.

The Congress in Mexico has agreed to debate the issue of reinstating capital punishment for some crimes. There are many people in Mexico that want to bring back the death penalty and they want to redebate if it should be brought back. Mexico has long been powerful voice in international forums calling for the abolition of capital punishment and has not carried out an execution since 1961. Due to a surge in murders and kidnappings in the country, many linked to drug cartels and organized crime. Mexico abolished capital punishment in 2005, but recent surveys suggest that 70% of Mexicans are in favor of the death penalty. Hundreds of posters demanding capital punishment for murderers and kidnappers have appeared all over Mexico City. The government, church and human rights groups all strongly oppose reinstatement, but millions of Mexicans worried by the rising insecurity in the country are looking for a way on how to control the crime.
I thought that the article was interesting due to the fact that I myself am Mexican and I think that it's good to keep informed on some news from my home country. The deathpenalty is a really hot topic that I wouldn't really wanna take a side. I think that it both has good and bad written over it. Crime is dramatically rising in Mexico and the people are scared and want the government to do something about it. I think that if Mexico does bring the death penalty back then crime would actually go down, because it would scare the thugs off. I also don't think the death penalty is the right way to do things because I don't believe that anybody should decide weather somebody lives or dies. I say let God decide that.
If I was to interview somebody else I would interview some of the people from Mexico City putting up the posters and ask them what do they think and why they think that?
I want to hear what they have to say about the capital punishment.

This article is about how Fidel Castro praises Barack Obama for his honesty But Fidel Castro still thinks President Barack Obama still has a lot of question to answer. In fact Fidel Castro’s brother President Raul Castro once said that Barack Obama seemed like a good man and wished him luck. Seems like the Castro’s really like the new president Barack Obama.
I think that Castro is right about President Obama I also think that he is very honest with the American citizens and also the rest of the world.
If I were to interview someone it would be President Obama to know if he thinks about Castro the same way.

First Day at Obama White House Brings Growing Pains (Update1)
Jan. 21 (Bloomberg) -- On the first full day in office, President Barack Obama’s team discovered the difference between running a tightly organized campaign and managing a sprawling White House bureaucracy. As Obama left the executive mansion this morning for a post-inaugural prayer service at the National Cathedral, e-mails to press staff went unanswered or bounced back to senders, the phone numbers at the press office emitted busy signals and few aides were available. The full day’s schedule for the president hadn’t been settled. Obama set high expectations for the start of his administration. The president repeatedly praised the transition help he got from his predecessor, George W. Bush. He made a point of naming his Cabinet within weeks of his election and promised they would “hit the ground running” after inauguration.
I chose this article because I’ve watched Obama’s Inauguration at Mr. Waldram’s Class last Tuesday. And it is somewhat interesting to know what’s going on in the White House, after Bush left and now that Obama is the president.
If I were to interview somebody else, I would interview President Obama. Now that he is the Current president, would he be able to handle all the peer pressure and heavy workloads, full schedules everyday? What are his plans?

Bush's 'War' on therror comes to a sudden end
President Obama eliminated the most controversial tools employed by his predecessor against terrorism suspects. With the stroke of his pen, he effectively declared an end to the "war on terror," as President George W. Bush had defined it, signaling to the world that the reach of the U.S. government in battling its enemies will not be limitless.
While Obama says he has no plans to diminish counterterrorism operations abroad, the notion that a president can circumvent long-standing U.S. laws simply by declaring war was halted by executive order in the Oval Office.
Key components of the secret structure developed under Bush are being swept away: The military's Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, facility, where the rights of habeas corpus and due process had been denied detainees, will close, and the CIA is now prohibited from maintaining its own overseas prisons. And in a broad swipe at the Bush administration's lawyers, Obama nullified every legal order and opinion on interrogations issued by any lawyer in the executive branch after Sept. 11, 2001.
I chose this Article because it shows Obama taking charge right from the from the start of his presedency. He showing that theres no time for rest he has work to be done. He also shows him fixing the past mistakes of the former president Bush.
If I were to ask interview someone it will probably be CIA director Porter J. Goss and ask if you support the new president's decision of the removal of facilitys in Guantanamo Bay.

Chrysler LLC, which suffered a 30% drop in sales last year, announced a massive new incentive program to move vehicles off dealers' lots.The carmaker will begin marketing the incentive plans, called "Employee Pricing Plus," in ads on Monday. Under the program, all 2008 and 2009 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles will be available at prices similar to those Chrysler employees pay -- typically thousands of dollars below the sticker price. In addition, customers will receive discounts of up to $3,500 on 2009 vehicles and $6,000 on 2008 models.
This is a great idea from Chrysler to bring up their sales because all this time they been suffering like ford and chevy did on their sales so this a great strategy for the most part from chrysler, and the good thing is that the employees will have a great discounts on chryslers cars and dodge as well and the 08 and 09 models prices will go down and make it affordable for people to buy it.
I would ask the employees of chrysler about what they think about this great idea as a solution and about on how they're planing to keep this up.

The celebration was more like a party, people had parades and everything I know It’s historical but they weren’t taking it seriously. Celebrities went to the party and people didn’t really paid attention to the moment.

President Barack Obama plans to sign an executive order ending the ban on federal funds for international groups that perform abortions.
President Bill Clinton ended the ban in 1993, but President George W. Bush re-instituted it in 2001 as one of his first acts in office.The policy bans U.S. taxpayer money, usually in the form of U.S. Obama has chosen to focus initially on issues in which there is consensus across the political spectrum and support from the public, such as closing the prison camp.
"President Obama not long ago told the American people that he would support policies to reduce abortions, but today he is effectively guaranteeing more abortions by funding groups that promote abortion as a method of population control," said Douglas Johnson.

President Barack Obama and Republicans come together and discuss the issue of the massive stimulate economic stimulus plan. Many of the Republicans believe that the $825 billion dollar plan is way to costly and spending that much will not stimulate the economy quickly enough. Barack Obama states that even though they have differences on this plan he is glad that the congress men have moved this plan quickly to help create 3 or 4 million jobs for the people. Many of the House committees have come together and made an approval of $275 billion tax cuts.

Under the hotly debated "Mexico City Policy," the U.S. government cannot provide funding for family planning services to clinics or groups that offer abortion-related services overseas, even if funding for those activities comes from non-government sources. It essentially bars recipients of U.S. foreign aid from promoting abortion as a method of family planning.If organizations received government funding, they would "agree as a condition of their receipt of federal funds that such organizations would neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations.

Two days before he was sentenced to four life terms for killing his parents and younger brothers, an honor student from an upscale Baltimore suburb joked about escaping from prison in a jailhouse phone call to a friend.
Nicholas W. Browning took a different tone at his sentencing hearing Friday, sobbing and telling relatives, "I'm so sorry." Baltimore County Circuit Judge Thomas J. Bollinger sentenced 16-year-old Browning to serve two of the life terms consecutively, meaning he could be eligible for parole in 23 years with good behavior.

One of Nigeria's biggest daily newspapers reported that police implicated a goat in an attempted automobile theft. In a front-page article on Friday, the Vanguard newspaper said that two men tried to steal a Mazda car two days earlier in Kwara State, with one suspect transforming himself into a goat as vigilantes cornered him.
The paper quoted police spokesman Tunde Mohammed as saying that while one suspect escaped, the other transformed into a goat as he was about to be apprehended.
The newspaper reported that police paraded the goat before journalists, and published a picture of the animal.
Police in the state couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Belief in black magic is widespread in Nigeria, particularly in far-flung rural areas.

Instantly opening a rift among New York Democrats, Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand — a little-known, pro-gun Democrat from a rural Republican district — won appointment Friday to the Senate seat left vacant by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Gov. David Paterson announced his choice a day after presumed front-runner Caroline Kennedy — a woman with considerably more star power but less experience — mysteriously dropped out of contention in an embarrassing turn of events that touched off sniping between the governor and the Kennedy camp.
Gillibrand, at 42, will be the youngest member of the Senate and one of 17 women in the chamber. The second-term congresswoman will assume the seat once held by Kennedy's uncle Robert F. Kennedy as well as by Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

A Canadian company will pay the United States just over $1 million to resolve allegations it violated federal law by selling a defective material used in bulletproof vests worn by law enforcement officers, the Justice Department announced Friday.Barrday Inc. of Cambridge, Ontario, was aware of the problems with its woven Zylon fabric by at least 2001, investigators said, but continued to sell the protective material until 2003 when two police officers were shot through their vests. One of the officers was killed and the other seriously injured.According to the settlement agreement, Barrday executives denied any wrongdoing.
Barrday's Zylon was used in vests sold by Second Chance Body Armor Inc., Point Blank Body Armor Inc. and Gator Hawk Armor Inc.
The government alleged Barrday's Zylon lost its ballistic capability too quickly, especially when exposed to heat and humidity. The vests were bought and used by state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies in a program partly financed by the Justice Department. The Barrday settlement is part of a larger, ongoing federal investigation of the use of Zylon in body armor. As part of the agreement, Barrday will cooperate with investigators.

Regulators on Friday shut down 1st Centennial Bank in California, the third U.S. bank to fail this year.
California regulators closed the Redlands-based bank and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. as receiver. 1st Centennial had assets of $803.3 million and deposits of $676.9 million as of Jan. 9.
The FDIC said 1st Centennial's insured deposits will be assumed by First California Bank, based in Westlake Village, Calif. Its six branches will reopen Monday as offices of First California.
The agency said patrons of 1st Centennial will continue to have full access to their deposits.
Regular deposit accounts are insured up to $250,000.
First California also will buy about $293 million of the failed bank's assets; the FDIC will retain the rest for eventual sale.
The FDIC estimated that the resolution of 1st Centennial will cost the federal deposit insurance fund $227 million. 1st Centennial was the third federally insured bank to fail and be shuttered by regulators this year amid the pressures of tumbling home prices, rising mortgage foreclosures and tighter credit. It's expected that many more banks won't survive this year's continued economic tumult, and some may have to merge with other institutions.

Prosecutors said in one instance, Bruno solicited officials from several labor unions with interests before state government to hire an investment firm that paid him $1.3 million over a 12-year period.Wright Investors' Service released a statement Friday that Bruno and his attorney had said his actions were cleared by the proper ethics groups.

The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday approved $20 billion in tax credits and related financial incentives for renewable energy and energy efficiency — elements that are part of the Obama administration's plan to revive the economy. The legislation's energy tax breaks would benefit the wind and solar energy industries, encourage energy-efficiency improvements to existing homes and help service stations recoup their costs for installing alternative energy pumps. The economic stimulus package would extend by three years, to the end of 2012, the date that wind facilities would have to be in place to be eligible for the federal renewable energy production tax credit.

President Barack Obama plans to address a joint session of Congress next month to deliver a State of the Union-style speech.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday that Obama plans a speech at the Capitol in February. Gibbs said no date has been set but joked that they are trying to schedule it around "Dancing with the Stars."
Such a speech is typical for a new president. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton delivered similar addresses shortly after taking office, focusing on the goals of their administrations, according to the Government Printing Office's Public Papers of the President.
President Ronald Reagan also gave an inaugural year speech to Congress in 1981, outlining his economic recovery plan. Obama is working with congressional leaders to push through an economic stimulus plan that could cost $825 billion. He met with legislative leaders Friday morning at the White House.

President Obama yesterday eliminated the most controversial tools employed by his predecessor against terrorism suspects. With the stroke of his pen, he effectively declared an end to the "war on terror," as President George W. Bush had defined it, signaling to the world that the reach of the U.S. government in battling its enemies will not be limitless. While Obama says he has no plans to diminish counterterrorism operations abroad, the notion that a president can circumvent long-standing U.S. laws simply by declaring war was halted by executive order in the Oval Office. Key components of the secret structure developed under Bush are being swept away: The military's Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, facility, where the rights of habeas corpus and due process had been denied detainees, will close, and the CIA is now prohibited from maintaining its own overseas prisons. And in a broad swipe at the Bush administration's lawyers, Obama nullified every legal order and opinion on interrogations issued by any lawyer in the executive branch after Sept. 11, 2001.

this article is talking about "Growing Food on the White House Lawn"
The nonprofit group Kitchen Gardeners International wants to inspire people to grow their own food in home gardens. More recently, its “Eat the View!” campaign has targeted the ultimate home garden — the White House lawn.
To boost its efforts, the group has launched a new video: “The Garden of Eatin’: A Short History of America’s Garden.” The video details the fascinating and sometimes tumultuous history of White House food gardening. (A previous video by founder Roger Doiron of Scarborough, Me., called “This Lawn Is Your Lawn,” was the subject of a blog post by my colleague Andrew Revkin last year over at DotEarth.)
The latest video shows that the concept of a White House garden is hardly a new idea. Presidents throughout history have tried to grow their own food, and there was even a White House greenhouse that was torn down to make room for the West Wing.

The European Commission was preparing an appeal on Friday to wealthy countries – and to the United States in particular – to adopt carbon trading as the main system for curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
The Europeans are drafting their proposal (we’ve posted a PDF of the European climate document here) as the United States enters into a period of intense debate over the wisdom of adopting such market-based systems following the inauguration of Barack Obama as president.
Mr. Obama endorsed a system to cap and trade carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, during his election campaign. The main alternative to a cap-and-trade system is a tax on emissions. Many analysts say such a tax would be a more straightforward way of limiting planet-warming gases from industry.

President Barack Obama, who arguably won a large chunk of political capital in the 2008 election, is now looking to cash in as he urges Congress to pass a massive economic stimulus package.
"We begin this year and this administration in the midst of an unprecedented crisis that calls for unprecedented action," he said in his weekly radio and Internet address. "Just this week, we saw more people file for unemployment than at any time in the last 26 years, and experts agree that if nothing is done, the unemployment rate could reach double digits."
and also he said that he plans to take a three-pronged approach to recovery: Stabilize the financial system, fix market regulation and pass the stimulus plan.
I just hope the economic crisis would be solved and gets better.
I would like to ask Barrack Obama about it.

My current event was about a man that resembled the Joker from the movie “The Dark Knight” killed two children and a child care worker in Dendermonde with a knife. The assailant was 20 years of age; he had a white painted face, eye shadow and ginger hair. According to witnesses the man was wearing a bullet proof vest. He tricked his way into the Fabeltjesland day care center at 10:00 am. He claimed he had a meeting with one of the staff members. He then drew a 12 inch knife and started slashing at children which were between a few months old to two years old. There were 21 infants and six supervisors and all the victims were stabbed in the throat or head. Nine of the children escaped unharmed and three of the workers were injured as they tried to fend off the joker imitator. "There was blood everywhere, it was unbelievable, real carnage. He went straight for the babies and attacked them. The smallest ones were in their beds, they were probably asleep." Marita Blinderman was set the alarm for the police and then was then died. "She was falling down as she was on the telephone. When we got there the phone was covered with blood, it was hanging in the little kitchen." After the attack the knifeman calmly left on his bicycle. He was pursued by helicopter and then arrested. "When we arrived, the attack was over and the building evacuated but none of us was sure if he had left. The injuries were bad, the worst I'd ever seen, especially because it involved very young babies," said Carl Haentjens, an ambulance coordinator.
When I was reading this I couldn’t believe that someone would do such a thing. Now every time I watch the movie The Dark Knight and see Heath Ledger I will think of the crazy man. I feel so bad for the children and their parents and the workers. I am glad the man was caught and I hope he gets what he deserves. If I could interview someone it would be the man that dressed up as the joker and ask him why he would do such a thing to children. I probably wouldn’t even be able to interview him because I would want to beat him up so bad.

The White House warned Sunday that the country could face a long and painful financial recovery, even with major government intervention to stimulate the economy and save financial institutions.
"We're off and running, but it's going to get worse before it gets better," said Vice President Joe Biden, taking the lead on a theme echoed by other Democratic officials on the Sunday talk shows.
At the end of the Obama administration's first week, the party in power at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue sought to lower expectations for a quick fix despite legislation expected to pass by next month that would pump billions of dollars into the economy. Democrats also opened the door for even more government aid to struggling banks beyond the $700 billion bailout already in the pipeline.
Congress has given President Barack Obama permission to spend the second $350 billion of a Wall Street bailout package even though lawmakers have criticized the Bush administration for the way it spent the first half.

The latest in a string of suspicious fires in this Philadelphia suburb tore through a block of row houses, damaging 15 homes, leaving several dozen people homeless and prompting city officials to declare a state of emergency.
At least 30 arsons have been reported since the beginning of 2008, about half of them in the last three weeks. Police said the blazes may be part of a gang initiation, but there was no clear information who was committing the crimes or why.
The latest fire was reported late Saturday at the rear of one house and quickly spread to adjacent homes in the Chester County community.
"This is an arson, no question about it," City Manager Harry Walker said Sunday.
The emergency declaration gives the city powers to deal with the situation without worrying about the budget, such as boarding up the buildings, assigning police to protect them and helping the families involved, Walker said.
The fire came despite stepped-up police patrols and investigative help from county, state and federal agencies. Three people were arrested in December.

Oil prices fell to below $46 a barrel Monday in Asia after White House officials warned Sunday the U.S. recession will likely worsen in coming months, undermining demand for crude.Light, sweet crude for March delivery fell 70 cents to $45.77 a barrel by midday in Singapore in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose Friday $2.80 to settle at $46.47.
The U.S. economy, the world's largest consumer of crude, will "get worse before it gets better," Vice President Joe Biden said Sunday, dampening expectations that a massive government stimulus package will quickly spur growth.
Congress is working on an $825 billion plan -- about two-thirds new government spending and the rest tax cuts -- that proponents expect will create as many as 4 million jobs.
Weak global demand for crude will likely continue to weigh on prices, said Clarence Chu, a trader at market maker Hudson Capital Energy in Singapore. U.S. crude inventories have soared in the last three weeks, a sign that drivers are cutting consumer spending amid the worst recession in decades.

Tens of millions of people across China were set to usher in the Lunar New Year Sunday with fireworks and big family reunions, but the global economic crisis put a dampener on celebrations.
Railways and planes worked full tilt over the weekend as people made last-minute dashes home to welcome the Year of the Ox, which begins on Monday.
A record 188 million people were expected to travel by train and another 24 million to fly over the 40 days before and after the New Year, in what is regarded as the biggest annual movement of people in the world.
And while bad weather failed to disrupt the transport network like it did last year in China, the economic crisis loomed large.
In a New Year speech, China's Premier Wen Jiabao warned of challenges in the year ahead, the official People's Daily newspaper reported Sunday, as financial woes continued to impact the country.

With whisky, haggis and poetry, Scots around the world celebrated the 250th anniversary Sunday of the birth of national bard Robert Burns, whose works include "Auld Lang Syne."
From Scotland to the United States, China and even Afghanistan, millions who claim Scots ancestry worldwide enjoyed a traditional Burns supper of haggis -- sheep's heart and lungs chopped up with spices and oatmeal and stuffed into a sheep's stomach -- plus "neeps" (turnips) and "tatties" (potatoes).
Devoted "Rabbie" fans traditionally recite his "Address To A Haggis," which hails the "great chieftain o' the puddin-race," before tucking into their meal.
Thousands of people joined celebrations across Scotland, including a church service at Glasgow cathedral in Scotland's biggest city, and a running 15-minute light and sound show of his life projected onto Glasgow City Hall.

It's shaping up to be another lousy year for workers, with more companies expecting to cut payrolls in the months ahead.
That's part of the latest outlook from forecasters in a survey to be released Monday by the National Association for Business Economics that depicts the worst business conditions in the U.S. since the report's inception in 1982.
Thirty-nine percent predicted job reductions through attrition or "significant" layoffs over the next six months, up from 32 percent in the previous survey in October. Around 45 percent in the current survey anticipated no change in hiring plans, while roughly 17 percent thought hiring would increase.
The recession, which started in December 2007, and is expected to stretch into this year, has been a job killer. The economy lost 2.6 million jobs last year, the most since 1945. The unemployment rate jumped to 7.2 percent in December, the highest in 16 years, and is expected to keep climbing.

And it wasn't just ciprofloxacin being detected. The supposedly cleaned water was a floating medicine cabinet — a soup of 21 different active pharmaceutical ingredients, used in generics for treatment of hypertension, heart disease, chronic liver ailments, depression, gonorrhea, ulcers and other ailments. Half of the drugs measured at the highest levels of pharmaceuticals ever detected in the environment, researchers say.
Those Indian factories produce drugs for much of the world, including many Americans. The result: Some of India's poor are unwittingly consuming an array of chemicals that may be harmful, and could lead to the proliferation of drug-resistant bacteria.

This article talks about Obama trying to work with the republicans about his economic stimulus plan. He has listen to the republicans ideas and he has also turned down on some of those ideas.

This article was about the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Baghdad against the U.S. It was about how the numbers of deaths of the U.S troops in those three places have decreased. In this month of October, no U.S troops have died in Baghdad, 13 in Iraq, and 15 in Afghanistan. It not only said that but also that more marines and army troops will be sent to those three places.
I think that its great that the numbers have had decrease so much, but still it would be better if there was actually no deaths. Also I don’t think they should bring back as many people as they are sending over there.
If I were to interview somebody to what they think about this. It would be mothers who have the sons or daughters over there. Also to those mothers who have had sons and daughters lost in that war.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/12/11/death.sentences/index.html
This article is about how the numbers of executions in the U.S prisons has lowered since the past 14 years. This year the prisoner being sentenced to death are 111 which is the lowest figure since executions in 1976. Only 37 people were put to death in 2008, compared with 98 executions in 1999. Texas carried out nearly half of this year's executions, and Ohio, with two after that there are no executions scheduled for the rest of the year.
I think this is a great thing that less people are getting put to death in prison, because this means that the people aren’t as dangerous as they use to be. But it is still bad that there are still deaths occurring.
If I were to interview some one it would be a cop. I would ask them is the deaths have dropped because the prisoners aren’t as bad or because is their just not being punished as hard as they use to. Noemi S.

This article is about how the number of deaths of officers has lowered in the past five decades. Showing that ‘08 has been the safest year for the law enforcement. Some say that this is all thanks to better training, equipment, and more officers in bullet-resistant vests Officials also cite a downturn in violent crime in general in the streets.
I think this is a good thing because the police officers need to be safe and feel safe as they are going to work or are at work.
I would ask the family of the officers that are today at work and what they think about this article.

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania a men (James Joseph Cialella) was arrested and accused of attempt of murder. It all started when James went to a theater, where another men and this son were watching a movie and talking too. James got annoyed at them both threw popcorn at the son then shot the dad in the left arm. I think this happens to every when they go to the theater or some place else and there’s someone or something that bothers you but I don’t think you have to shot at it.
I would ask a person ,in the theater who was there when this happen, If the dad and the son were really that loud and distracting?

The Effort to Roll Back Bush Policies Continues
on obamas first seven days of his election he chose to end some of the Cia programs. he also closed down a prison camp. the prison closed was Guantanamo Bay which lead to actually moving the prisoners to U.S. facilities.
in my opinion i think that it isnt good because it was safer for the citezens because it was harder for the prisoners to escape.
i would like to interview obama to see wat the hell was he thinking.

In El Reno, Okla. A man fatally shot his wife, 5 young children and himself after he faxed a note to a TV station saying that they got fired from their jobs and planned their owned deaths with their children with them as an escape for their problems. Ervin Lupoe had written “why leave our children in someone else’s hands” as for a reason to take their children’s life. The station called police after receiving the fax, and a police dispatch center had also receive a call from a man who stated, “I just returned home and my whole family ‘s been shot.” The police had gone to the scene and had found all the bodies lying on the ground. While in the house they could still smell the gun shot residue in the air.
Its sad to know that poeple are losing their jobs but its even sadder to see that know poeple are losing thier lifes. Its also wack beacuse they could get another job or atleast find one even if it dosent pay as much.
Who i would interview would be the man that had no sole at all and no right to be in heaven Ervin Lupoe. I would ask him how he had the nerve to do such a thing. If he could of thought of another ways to find a solutiong besides death. If he and Ana Lupoe had any idea or if they thought of it twice.

Our President of the United States has lounched and dertemined to change our relations with the Arab and Muslim worlds, and saying to them that americans "havent been perfect" with dealing with them.Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday declined to characterize the new outreach as a complete rejection of the Bush administration's policies. "Where continuity is appropriate, we are committed to doing that," she told reporters. "In areas of the world that have felt either overlooked or not receiving appropriate attention for the problems that they are experiencing, there's a welcoming of the engagement that we are promising. So it's not any kind of repudiation or indictment of the past eight years so much as an excitement and an acceptance of how we're going to be doing business." So far Obamas outreach have gave a positive aspect to him but further action is awaited. Taliban called the Guantanamo closure a "positive step" but said it was an insufficient change in Bush's "satanic" policies in the region and the world, according to a translation by site Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist sites.
I thought this article was pretty interesting beacuse it had me thinking if what obama had said in the speeches he had said in the elections were going to be true. I know that not all of them but i think he will do some of them and that he will acomplish something.
I would interview the president himself to ask how is he going to work with the arabians and muslim worlds. How is he going to benefit from this. And how are they going to respond to this new turn for our new response that we have offer.

Two men from Sri Lanka who were about to go on trial in federal court in Brooklyn on terrorism charges pleaded guilty on Tuesday to plotting to buy shoulder-fired antiaircraft missiles for a separatist group in their country.
The men, Thiruthanikan Thanigasalam and Sahilal Sabaratnam, who prosecutors said were acting at the direction of senior members of the group, the Tamil Tigers, in Sri Lanka, also pleaded guilty to attempting and conspiring to provide material support for the group, which the State Department has designated as a terrorist organization.
Mr. Thanigasalam, 40, and Mr. Sabaratnam, 29, entered their pleas before Raymond J. Dearie, the chief judge of United States District Court in Brooklyn, where opening statements were expected to begin on Wednesday.
The guilty pleas stem from a videotaped F.B.I. sting operation in 2006 in which the men sought to buy 10 Russian-made SA-18 heat-seeking surface-to-air missiles and 500 AK-47 assault rifles, prosecutors said. On Monday, two of their co-defendants pleaded guilty to similar charges. Jury selection had been under way in the case.
I thought this article was intense. At first it was about two terrorist poeple cought and sent to the federal court in brooklyn. nut as a read more the court had evidence that these two guys had bought 10 Russian-made SA-18 heat-seeking surface-to-air missiles and 500 AK-47 assault rifles. Also that they were on a terrorist organization.
This interview would go to the two terrorist that had pleaded in the court. Ask how they became terrorist in the first place and ask why had they done this. If they know that they could cause deaths in inosent people.

The Ice blocking out thousands of homes and businesses, and schools and government offices were closed Tuesday as a major storm spread a glaze of ice and snow from the southern Plains to the East Coast.
At least 19 deaths had been blamed on the weather.
Highway crews fought to keep up with slippery roads and in some places were blocked by fallen tree limbs and power lines. Ice had built up 3 inches thick in sections of Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The National Weather Service posted ice storm and winter storm warnings Tuesday along a broad swath from Texas and Oklahoma through the Mississippi and Ohio valleys all the way into northern New England. Radar showed smears of snow and freezing rain stretching from Texas to Pennsylvania during the evening.
Broken tree limbs weighted down by ice crashed onto power lines, cutting service to at least 165,000homes and businesses in hard-hit Arkansas.
This artcle was mainly about how ice is causing alot of problems and a couple of deaths in the east coast. Even weather has no mercy on us. People should be more careful on driving on the road especially on the places that there at.

In Indianapolis The Senate has approved a four-month delay in the digital TV conversion. Democrats say too many Americans won't be ready for the switch to digital, while Republicans have said a delay would only confuse people.
No matter when the change comes, it's likely to be this year. It appears thousands of people are still confused over how to manage the switch. Some are finding it more difficult they counted on.Jim Himebaugh can't see what so many people say is so great about digital television."I'm unimpressed," he said.After spending thousands of dollars for a new television and antenna, Himebaugh is seeing fewer stations. Soon-to-be discontinued analog signals that are now crystal clear don't show up at all in digital. While the majority of homes aren't having any problems making the digital switch, many are finding it's not as easy as connecting a new TV or converter box to their old antenna.
This article was about how the converter box is not as what poeple are finding it to be. I found out in this article that also theres fewer channels and that is frustrating people already. if this is a problem already what can we expect when we go digital??

Even as the birth of octuplets at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center drew attention and applause from around the country, questions arose Tuesday about whether the mother's doctors did enough to prevent such a risky pregnancy.The chances that the eight babies born Monday were conceived naturally are infinitesimal, infertility specialists and doctors in maternal-fetal medicine say. Today's reproductive experts have the tools and the know-how to avoid such high-risk pregnancies and often try desperately to do so.The parents of the octuplets have not been identified, and Kaiser officials say they have not been authorized to release information to the public on how the babies were conceived.Doctors reported Tuesday that the eight babies, six boys and two girls, are doing fine. The babies were delivered by caesarean section Monday and ranged in weight from 1 pound, 8 ounces to 3 pounds, 4 ounces.

The government Tuesday accused the peanut butter manufacturer tied to a nationwide salmonella outbreak of shipping products in 2007 and 2008 after internal tests found bacterial contamination, violating food safety regulations.
Peanut butter and peanut paste manufactured by the Peanut Corp. of America (PCA) has been tied to the salmonella outbreak that has sickened 501 people in 43 states and is believed to have contributed to eight deaths.The Food and Drug Administration said that its inspection of the PCA plant in Blakely, Ga., found records of 12 instances in which plant officials identified salmonella in ingredients or finished products. The products should not have been shipped, the FDA.PCA took no steps to address cleaning after finding the salmonella says Michael Rogers the director of the FDA's division of field investigations.In some instances, the company had the product tested again by a different laboratory and got a clean test result, FDA officials said in a telephone conference with reporters.
This was mainly about how the peanut butter manafactures that had salmonella in there products had send it to the stores knowing that it could hurt poeple. They violated food safety regulations and now they could face penalties for it.
