Oill Spill in Gulf

Many animals and plants were hurt and still are getting hurt and affected because of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It is a spill like no other, taking place a mile or so deep under water, in layers of more shallow water and also on the surface. It is said that there more than 50,000 gallons of oil being spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. Scientitsts are worried about how far it will spread and go. Many people are doing whatever they can to stop this spill before it hurts any more animals and plants around the ocean. Thursday crews had sprayed 798,000 gallons of chemicals to dissolve the oil at the surface and injected another 346,000 gallons under water to break it up near the seafloor. In 142 controlled fires, crews also burned an estimated 3.62 million gallons of oil on open water. About one-third of the Gulf is only left good enough to fish. If the oil spill continues that one third will also be closed down.

Olive Garden Restaurant Review

I've been to many restaraunts that have given me food worth my money, and they also had good customer service and lines were fast moving in a nice pace. olive Garden was not one of them. Although Olive Garden is known all over NYC, and is known as one of the best italian restaurants in NYC, it is not. In my opinion Olive Garden has long, long lines that m,ove very very slow. Although the menu has good food listed on it, its not served properly. When i went with family and friends, I ordered Chicken Parmagian and wasn't what i expected at all, it was worse. Along with that, the service took way to long. I ordered my food with my family hours before i actually got the food on my table in front of me. According to me in my opinion, i wuold give Olive Garden a 3 out of 5 in restaurant ratings. But who knows maybe it was just one of there bad days.

Miss America 2010

Judges have finally selected a new woman to be Miss America. As it turns out Rima Fakih is Miss America 2010. Whats even more interesting is the new Miss America is a of the Islamic religion. Her parents were born to a muslim family and so was she. Although they are muslim they celebrate both the Islam and Chrisitian holidays. Although Rima Fakih was voted Miss America 2010, there were controversies on whether she should be Miss America because a recent video of her pole dancing was leaked. Another thing is since she was elected Miss America as a muslim, there will be many problems and controversies amongst the muslim community. There will be many arguments o n whethere this is right or not, and well, the muslim community will definitely consider this wrong. They will also say how this will give Islam a very bad image worldwide. All we can do now is wait and see what will happen, because time can tell everything.

N.Y. can live with fewer teachers Editorial

Dear Editor,

I am referring to your opinion posted on the Daily News editorial section where you said NY can live with fewer teachers. I disagree with your statement about having less teachers and more students per class. The reason why I disagree is because a lot of the schools in NY are already crowded with around 30-35 students per class when there's really suppose to be 20-25 students per class. If NY has less teachers this then means that in some schools the students per class can rise to 40 or more students. In a crowded class like those what can we posibbly learn? It would be to distracting, noisy many other problems. Another thing is many teachers have only one job, which is to teach. If teachers get laid off then they won't be able to support there families or kids. Instead of laying of teachers, why not lay off the teachers that don't teach at all and  just sit around all day, then hire teachers that actually teach and want kids to pass. Because many teachers in NY come to school to teach because they have to and not want to. There are many people out there that want to be teachers, not because they need a job to support themselves.

The Calm, Cool and Collected President Editorial

Dear Editor of the New York Times ,

I am referring to your opinion that you posted on the editorial section of the New York Times about President Obama being calm, collected and cool. I agree with you when you say President Obama is one President who can keep his cool in times like this. Usually you would expect a President to become rude and cranky when hes in stress because of all the problems going on around the world that he has to handle. I mean when your soldiers are in war dying daily and suffering, or when our country is going bankrupt or something worse you expect a President to probably just give up because it's to much to handle. But President Obama he has everything under control and stays calm with a postivie attitude that says "Things will start to get better". He always has a smile on his face which gives a great deal of relief to everyone and he always has a serious face when hes talking about something very serious. He thinks about the citizens and the people all around the world, not just himself. It seems as if we just got the President that we had been wating for for ages.

A homeless, illegal hero left to die editorial.

Dear editor of the New York Post,

I am referring to you opinion posted on the editorial section of the New York post on the homeless man that was left to die after saving a women from a robber. I completely agree with you when you say there are very few people left with humanity in this world. If 20 people passing a women being robbed and don't help and leave a homeless man to stop the robbery then pass by him dying in the streets is called humanity then this world is worse then we thought. What I'm trying to say is, okay you let a homeless man save the woman, but at least try to help him when he's dying , i mean he's a homeless man with no family and no where to go. Many people just left him to die because he's homeless and has no importance in the economy. Well, for all of you that think that, consider your self with no heart. Even a homeless person matters, even if they have no where to go or no one to go to. All humans are equal and deserve to be treated equally with the same amount of respect, disrespect, friendship and love. Not to many people think this way because if they did then this world would have been a place with no violence and crimes. Sadly, this world has a very long way to go before we can achieve something like this.

South Park Makes Fun of Prophet Muhammad Editorial

Dear Editor of Fox News ,

I am referring to the opinion you posted on the editorial section of Fox News about South Park making fun of Prophet Muhammad. On your editorial you wrote "we should not get scared by muslims that threaten to kill the South Park creators for making fun of Prophet Muhammad." Then you said the South Park creators should've replayed that episode a couple of times. Well that is total disrespect. Islam is a religion about peace and sacredness. They in any way do not make fun of any religion or any people. They keep there opinions to them selves and respect other religions. To disrespect a religion that never disrespects another religion on t.v, shows that we humans have no humanity left in us. Although i agree with you by going against the people that try to kill the creators of South Park because of this incident, I know it is not right to kill people that airs a show that everyone loves, but there should be some sort of consequence for making fun of such an innocent religion that respects every other religion. Although the world sees Islam as a religion that commits the sin of terrorism and violent doesn't mean we are all like that. There are specific Islamic people that think terrorism is the right thing to do. The true believers and followers of Islam do not consider terrorists as Muslims because everyone knows Islam forbids violence and terrorism completely.

Wierd man stabs himself to avoid work...why not just call in sick?

Aaron Siebers a 29 year old man eneded up telling cops that he stabbed himself in the leg to avoid work at blockbuster's. Siebers showed up at Blockbuster Monday night with a deep leg wound and several minor slashes on his face and stomach. He accused a Hispanic trio, clad in all-black, of robbing him and then stabbing him outside the local Target. Police searched for the trio with search dogs to find the criminals. Meanwhile, Siebers was rushed to Saint Anthony’s hospital and received several stitches to seal up his wound. Investigators reviewed the surveillance cameras at Target – the apparent scene of the crime – but found that no such attack had taken place. Although the stabbing got Aaron out of work, it sent him right to jail.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2009/11/05/2009-11-05_blockbuster_employee_aaron_seibers_stabs_himself_in_the_leg_to_avoid_going_to_wo.html

5,000-8,000 teens commit suicides yearly...but the question still remains...Why?

Well, the teen years are some of the hardest years one can go through. you are maturing and growing up, and  parents don't treat you differently. Hormones are raging, and body is changing and sometimes you don't know how to deal with that. many teens think they are so alone in everything. They think there's no future left for them nor is there any hope in there futues. There not sure how to deal with many issues that affect them, some decide that death is the best way out. They don't see an end to their suffering and they just want away from it all. what they don't realize is that teenage years mean nothing, especially when your in highschool. These years don't matter all you have to do is stand a lot of things and somehow get through the teen years. They have to realize once the teenage years are up they have a life. Sadly many teens don't see that and end up thinking suicide is the only way out.

Man tried to assassinate President Obama

A man named Joseph Sean McVey tried assassinating President Obama by pretending to be a cop. He rented a car and "dressed it up" to make it look like a cop car. He then asked to see President Obama while Obama's plane was ready to take of. Cops then stopped  because one of them saw a gun strapped on to his belt. They then grabbedhim and took him away. They saw that the gun wasn't loaded so they charged him for a misdeamnor. Cops are still trying to figure out whether McVey was targeting Obama or ha danother motive. But he is currently in jail with a $100,000 dollar bailout.http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/joseph-sean-mcvey-arrested-near-president-barack-obamas-plane/19453712?icid=main|main|dl1|link1|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolnews.com%2Fnation%2Farticle%2Fjoseph-sean-mcvey-arrested-near-president-barack-obamas-plane%2F19453712

South Park episode depicting Prophet Muhammad causes uproars.

Comedy Central's "South Park" included a representation of the Prophet Muhammad as a character this week even though a violent Muslim group warned them that its producers could be killed.Muhammad appeared on Wednesday night's episode of the cartoon with his body obscured by a black box, since Muslims consider a physical representation of their prophet to be really disrepectful. Last week, the character was believed to be disguised in a bear costume. When that same costume was removed this week, Santa Claus appeared.The bear costume had angered the New York-based group Revolution Muslim, which posted a message on its website saying that producers Trey Parker and Matt Stone had insulted their Prophet.The message included a gruesome picture of Theo Van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker murdered by a Muslim extremist in 2004 after making a movie about a woman who rejected Muhammad's teachings. The message said the "South Park" producers would "probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh" for airing the show.

New $100 dollar bill with 3D security ribbon.

Treasury the company that prints and makes the US money has invented a new hundred dollar bill that will frustrate the people that make counterfeit money but it helps many people from getting played into a counterfiet hundred dollar bill. The way it works is pretty amazing. The new hundred dollar bill has a bell on the right hand bottom which if you tilt in a certain way will turn into the number 100. The bill will release on Feb. 10, 2011. It also features a color-changing inkwell and Liberty Bell to the right of Franklin's portrait on the bill.An embedded thread to Franklin's left will glow pink when placed under UV light. And the words "The United States of America" will be microprinted on Franklin's jacket. It was suppose to be released in 2008 then it was delayed so they can make more advanced security enhancements. Now the question is wil lthere be a criminal smart enough to make a counterfeit hundred dollar bill when the new one comes out? Lets hope not.

The next touch screen generation in your palm.

Chris Harrison, a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University and a former intern at Microsoft Research, has developed a prototype where you can control some of your I-phone functions on your arm such as texting answering calls. The prototype is called Skinput. The way it works is you have certain hand movements and sign languages using your hand that triggers the function that you want. The Skin-put is also provided with a projector called the pico projector that allows you to display an image of a digital keyboard on a person's forearm. So, using Skinput, someone could send text messages by tapping his or her arm in certain places without pulling the phone out of a pocket or purse. You might be wondering how does the icons come onto your hands, well there is a small band that is placed on your hand which is connected to the I phone somehow allowing it to display the icons onto your hands also letting you to click on it. Pretty amazing, but then again it's America.

Strangest News Ever.

A journalist once published in the newspaper that a new pitcher asked him if he can join the New York Mets. The reason he wanted to join was because he can pitch 168 mph with exact accuracy. The journalist replied to him by saying of course. When the coach of the Mets read the article he let the players know and together they celebrated because a gifted man with such pitching skills wanted to join there team. Turns out the pitcher was only real in the imagination of the journalist. Yes, the journalist made the whole thing up. There was no pitcher that can pitch 168 mph. I mean come on, who beleives that, especially when there wasn't even a car that can travle 168 mph!

Most Expensive Car in the World.

Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000. This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. It claims to be the fastest car with a top speed of 253 mph+. To think people will waste over a million dollars on a car is  just absurd. You can buy at least two mansions with that kind of money. And another thing to point out is, what if the car gets messed up or something, what if you crash with it? Then thats a million dollars down the drain i guess, because reparing a expensive car liek that means expensive parts that arent found just anywhere. To get these parts will probably cost more than your car.

Obama funds federal funded abortions.

President Barack Obama has signed an executive order designed to ensure that no federal money can be used for elective abortions under the nation's new health care legislation.

Obama agreed to the order on Sunday to ensure passage of the health care overhaul that is central to his agenda. The deal won the votes of anti-abortion lawmaker Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan and a bloc of other House members who wanted assurances that existing federal policy would not change.

The order affirms a prohibition on federal funding of abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or danger to the woman's life.

Obama invited lawmakers to the Oval Office for the order signing Wednesday but no members of the news media were allowed in the room.

Overdue library book due after 45 years.

A pretty weird and funny story but true. A mysterious person borrowed a book back in 1996 and all of the sudden decided to return it 45 years later. Talk about slow readers. Alison Lawrie, the principal assistant at Dinnington Library, near northern England's Sheffield says she tried looking back at the records to see who the borrower was but the records don't go back that far. It's very weird to return a library book after so long. Imagine the fines for the book. Even if its a penny they charge every day your late imagine how much money you owe! All the staff members of the library were very baffled when they saw the book in there mailbox. They decided the person doesn't have to worry about the fines, they just want to know who the person is and why they decided to return it almost half a century later. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100319/ap_on_fe_st/eu_odd_britain_overdue_book
