Today the article I choose was about Israel dividing Jerusalem.The dispute over Jerusalem has derailed negotiations in the past, and the latest comments come at a time when Israeli and Palestinian teams are trying to agree on principles guiding future peace talk.My opinon of the issue is that Israel should divide Jerusalem so that it does not cause a lot of tention between any other part of Asia.

The story i chose is "A Quest For Energy In The Globe'sRemote Places". This article is about oil being shipped to places, but oil is going to cost because of global warming. The article said that "there is plenty of oil and gas." Since global warming has been a problem "demand soars and prices rise, energy companies are going to the ends of the earth to find new supplies." Now engineerers are finding how to sove that problem.

I read an artical talking about how a Pakistani air craft bombed a bazarr. It left 250 shopers dead in 4 days worth of looking. This is the worst attack in Pakastan throuh in supports at the U.S. I found this artical at yahoo.com.
Today I chose the article that was about Israel dividing Jerusalem.The dispute over Jerusalem has derailed negotiations in the past, and the latest comments come at a time when Israeli and Palestinian teams are trying to agree on principles guiding future peace talk.
Global warming is bad because it refers to the increase of the average temperature of earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projevted continuation.Global warming is'nt good because itchanging the weather to the wrong temperatures during the wrong seasons. Ex: during april(spring)it was 40 degrees outside and it was snowy and rainy, usually during spring its rainy, cool, or sometimes humid.
Global warming is also affecting the world in may ways because the ice is melting in the artic and that has caused alot of polar bears population to decrease bc of drowning.
that is why global warming is not good, there are many more reasons
Global warming is officialy in effect today. Global warming efeects us in many different ways. Global warming is also harming animals to because in the artic the heat is causing all the ice to melt and because of that it is causes th epolar bears and other artic animals to drown and die. Right now it is very obvious that global warming in in effect because it is october and still 80 degrees and above. which is not normal because it is supposed to be fall with tempertures starting from 70 degrees and lower. We did not have much snow last year either nor rain. We can prevent this by using enviorment friendly cars, Not using aresol sprays etc.
I just read a article on Bet.com and i read about the HIV/AIDS and i learned that there is now cure for this disese and the only thing that can help you is pills that you have to take. I also learned that in the that have HIV where under the age of 25. I also learned that the HIV/AIDS virus come from Afica and it getting worse out there. and i hope that one day there would be a cure for HIV/AIDS.

Valley To Host Largest Ever Terrorism Drill: By Sean Holstege : Oct 10, 2007 12:00A.M.
Info Gained From: www.azcentral.com
Next week in the Phoenix area there will take place the largest terrorism drill that was designed to be able to have an understanding of how people may react and to be able to assure that they would be aware for the next Super Bowl. However it also tests how the leaders would react for when this happens to know what it is that they have to do. This takes place in Arizona. The drill had a strong importance there because with this ever since the "Hurricane Katrina" was exposed to the resphonses made from the government and had been able to help evacuate people from further harm in the year 2005. They claim that it is to sharpen their awareness to overcome their obsticles. But because of these testings it becomes harder to make communications through agencies and leave their radios and transmissions and even cellphones to the contain the problem that they may overload due to the activities that are occuring now. In the Super Bowl when they activate the drill they would evacuate everyone when there is a terrorist attack, because one time when someone activated a dirty bomb it uses explosives to spread a "radioactive" waste that when used in a city could end up killing 180 or more people.
The article i choosed is from http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/nobel_chemistry. The topic of the news is "German wins Nobel Prize in chemistry". This is a news about a German man named Gerhard Ertl who won the 2007 chemistry nobel prize. He study chemistry about the chemical and the reason why the ozone layer is being destroyed. He recieved the prize
when he is 71 and he said that it was the best birthday present. He didnot imagine that he would win the nobel prize. His study was helpful in both academic studies and industrial development. This news was by KARL RITTER and MATT MOORE. I think this a great exploration made by the German. We all should try our best to save the world from the natural disaster.

The interesting article that i read today was New vision Kampala. Whats really shocking was that a total of 1,078 counter terrorism were actually deployed in kampala
today, i read an article about terrorism. in kampala city 1078 counter-terrorism special police have benn deployed, they have to protect the city. they will be in groups of three and have guns. the police would be placed in many places like supermarkets, taxi parks, gas stations and other local places. they will maintain peace and maintain the city in order. they also will notbe able to use their guns unless it is terrorism. i think that the police will be helpful.

to day i was readin an artical on aid an it said that aids/hiv is a puplic helth problem in africa. also that most men in africa hav aids/hiv
Tis is what the artcal said about the probelm:"Almost half of all new HIV diagnoses are among blacks. Black men were diagnosed with the disease at a rate eight times that of white men, while black women were diagnosed at a rate almost 23 times that of white women, according to 2005 figures, the most recent available, from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.".
Also the inventor OF windows Bill Gates donated 100 million dollars for new research into AID. He has givin this much money for a research for a vaccine for that will cure AIDS. Aids /HIV which is devastating many in parts of southern Africa got a boost of 100 million dollar initiative launched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The money, to be disbursed in grants over five years, beginning from 2008, will promote research into diseases afflicting poor countries, like AIDS and malaria, said a statement on the Foundation's website on Wednesday after a meeting of global health researchers in Cape Town, South Africa.
So this my essay opn a current event.

I hav read an article about how Bill Gates gave 100 million dollars for new re search for Aids. That the researchers are going to start from 2008 because the 100 million dollars is a 5 year plan. So the researchers are going to study Aids and malaria. Something like that i didnt get it that well.
The article I read was about the House Foreign Affairs had prepared for the votes that had measure Turkey and United States that they could be dangerously tie for the vote. Turkey is part of the NATO ally of the area of the U.S military operations in Iraq and Middle East .
Alvin
The article i choose to write about is the story of Bill Gates and how he pumps 100 million dollars for new research on aids. I think he is a very generous man and he is mad smart. By him helping aids research it gives people a step closer to finding cures. His foundation is so world wide that all of his resaerchers are workin hard into cracking the aids desiese. That was the story i picked.
Uriel
The article was about how Global warming is driving up Humidity levels and how it's affecting the earth.High temperatures are rising more that it was in 2004.It was unclear that whether changes were the result of a natural or a human impact on the climate.The risk of humidity levels going up is that rainfall patterns will shift or strengthen, tropical storms will intensify and human health may suffer from heat stress.This is what the article was about.
I have read a article about bill gates paying 100 million dollars to find out more about aids. He said he was granting the money for more than 5 years to help the poor counties and get them away aids.He wants to stop the people that spread the aids. So that it would not spread the whole country and get every one sick with aids. If some one got aids i dont want to get aids so that i could live a shorter life i want to live a normal life untill i get to old .
LONDON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - AIDS researchers must step up collaboration following the failure last month of a key experimental HIV vaccine, the new head of a global group coordinating the hunt for an effective shot said on Thursday.
Merck & Co (MRK.N: Quote, Profile, Research), which had been working with the U.S. government-funded HIV Vaccine Trials Network, halted testing of its vaccine because it did not prevent subjects becoming infected in a clinical trial.
It was long considered one of the most promising vaccines in development and the failure was a major blow to the global effort to stem infections with the virus that causes AIDS.
Alan Bernstein, the founding president of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, who has now been appointed first executive director of the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise, said the setback underlined the need for cooperation to speed up vaccine work.
Bernstein's job as head of the group -- which has a new secretariat in New York -- is to bring together academics, drugmakers, governments and regulators to work on a common strategy.
"This trial was yet another eye-opener for the need for the Enterprise," he said in a telephone interview from Cape Town.
"We need a mechanism for everybody from scientists to volunteers to get around the table and talk and agree on a common way forward," he said.
I think it's horrible that the vaccines didn't work because millions of peopleare in need and are diing because of aids and we're not trying our hardest to cure it so please scientists try and find a cure.

obesity in the U.S. has taken over the population over the years. Children and adults mostly are overweight do to the production of fast food comapnies racing for the title of best food coming out with all sorts of commercials and foods that even if it's not true people will still go after it. You hear McDonalds coming out with all sorts of salads and milk and fruits but if you read the ingredients it has a whole bunch of fats in it over the population in NYC children from a year old are gaining triple the weight. and along with the weight comes the health issues such as Asthma and high cholesterol. the question is when will people stop fisically growing 2 times their weight and when are these fast food restaurants really going to provide us with real nutrition and stop giving us so much grease?? do you know that a burguer is not really cooked they just take it out of a freezer and heat it up so youre eating something thats really you dont know how long its been in the freezer. I'm 15 years old and also going thru alot with my weight. I tend to eat over the limit because I find its what makes me better and when im bored i sit infront of a computer and stuff myself with stuff just because im not hungry but im bored and i tend to grow from my stomach and i struggle through weight coming out of school eatiing so much fast food..and stuff...but its an addiction and its killing our people. whats gonna keep happening if it keeps increasing?? just like animals isz gonna be extinction. and I jus wish things would get better for us!
The Article I chosed is called Recognizing Eating Disorders in Children for anorexica. Kids, or teenagers that say that they are not hungry but they are, its because they are either deprssed or they have a fear of becoming fat. Once a teenager starts a diet is might become an obssion.
The article I choose is about global warming. I read that a person named Stewart Dimmock, a father of two, brought a High Court action against the screening of the documentary in schools, claiming that it was "politically partisan" and "sentimental." Also that Stewarts lawyers argued that the film contained serious scientific inaccuracies. So they accused the government of backing the film, by the former vice-president, as a way of "brainwashing" pupils on global warming.
the aricle i was reading i got it from th website http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5i76P2MdxqZpEOyfiHRbdcJ38_K-g. this article was talking about global warming and hoew it is affecting our enviroment. they said that the human population has increase over the last few year. i think that this is a very important issue that people should talk about and that they need to do some thing about this.

lawyers argued that the film contained serious scientific inaccuracies. They accused the government of backing the film, by the former vice-president, as a way of "brainwashing" pupils on global warming. My opinion is that Stewert should not jump to conclusions because he could get sewed if he was wrong
I am doing Global warming driving in this article it says that from 1976-2004 the temperature rose 0.49 degrees Celsius.They say"By 2100, humidity levels could increase by another 10 percent".Gillett said water vapour was a "positive feedback" -- a vicious circle, in scientific parlance -- in the global warming equation.My opinion on this article is global warming is already here and sooner or latter there are going to be hevey rain storms and human health may suffer from heat.I got this article at afp.google.com
i read a article called Study Ties Marital Strife, Heart Disease. I read that more people are now getting heart disease because of obesity. All the fat in your heart is going to your heart and you can get a heart disease.Other factors related to heart disease such as obesity, high blood pressure and smoking.you can get a heart disease anytime. My opinion is that not to eat alot of junk food and see what you get and then eat.I know that alot of people are having heart diseasebecause of obesity.

The article "five go on trail over terrorism campus" is about there was five terrorist caught iin London. Atilla Ahmet is the owner of the gang of the terorists. Atilla Ahmet is 43 years old and was guiltiy of telling others to comit murder. Also another terrorist named Hamid. He is 50 years old and he was also acussed of traning other Muslims of war and terrosim. I think that these people are really crazy for doing this. I think that they should be in jail for the rest of there life.
From Omar Teles
Bill Gates is the riches man in the world. He said that he is going to put in 100 million dollars to find the vaccine for Aids and Malaria. Aids and Malaria are foud in most of the world millions of people have Aids and Malaria and doctors and scientist don't know how to cure the sickness people are dieing because of the sicknesses. o hope that they find the vaccine and cure everyone that has those sicknesses.
Bill Gates is the most wealthyest man in the world. I think it is good that he is putting money into this because it is helping the children hu have AIDS and malria. They should have found out sooner about the disease so that they could have stopped it years ago.
Dear Ms.sakno,
The article is about a student from a school in cleveland,US,shoting and wounding 4 people, 2 students and 2 teachers,before killing himself.
The was threating the school of bombing it, killing everybody in the school.The metal detectors werent on that day because they use them intermittently.
I think the school should use the metal detectors everyday for everyone, fot their own saftey.

MY news article is about is a guy named coon who commited sucide after he injured two teachers and two students and then he shot himself. Coon had a fistfight on monday with another student at cleveland high school and got suspended also he got beaten up. Then the terrible incident happened on wedenesday when he wounded two teachers and two students. One of coon's friends said that he warned the person that he was going to snap and coon's friend thought he was kidding. Students said that coon was a goth because he wore who usually wore black cloths and a trench coat and also strapped a empty gun belt to his leg. That was the story that I chose.
the article i was reading is about a doctor named Dr Alan Bernstein who created or founded " Institutes of Health Reasearch ". Dr Alan was named the frist excutive director of the gobal HIV vaccine enterpise.The organization Dr Alan created is an alliance of reseachers in trying to find a vaccine against th virus HIV/Aids that effets more then 40 million people
I read a story about how the world is started to get obesity. I also learned that people are getting cancer for being obese. I really think it's said and that people are getting obese for doing something that they like to do like "eat." I think that maybe is the food they eat. Maybe they're eatting a lot of junk food like Mc Dolands and getting fat.

that the article was talking about the that people want to reduce the green house gas by the capturing the co2 and the storg undergroud resevoirs and that they said that there is a permanently capture between 2 billion and 6 billion tons of carbon dixide.

Today news is about a 14 years old boy who brougth a gun to school in the SuccessTech Acamedy school. The boy shot two students and two teacher and he tried to kill himself. Before the shoothing the same boy tried to blow up the school. The accident happen last week but the shoothing happen today. In my opinion I believe this boy should have help mentaly. I believe this because the boy tried to kill people twice and wanted to take away his own life.

Source:http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5ihQh-9oytbFpQFUCiJ30B6FHTMMA
The story i read today was about how Dr. Alan Bernstein has been named the executive director of the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise.The company trys to find new vaccine , to cure Aids/HIV, becuase the virus is getting very dangerous, it has effected more than 40 million people in Afirca, where the research lab is located. Dr.Alan Bernstein said "I am absolutely confident there will be a vaccine, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the job,",he is very confident he will find a cure, but some say this is impossible.Many funds and country have donated 750 million , to support the scientific plan. I think it was good that dc.Alan would be joining the research lab, so now they could be more secure, and they also add more fresh brian power to the team, and with what he promised, i think there will be soon a cure for Aids/HIV.

Period 8
THE ARTICLE I CHOOSE IS ABOUT INSURACNE COMPANIES USING A DEVICE TO TRACK TEENAGERS IN THEIR CARS. ALOT OF PARENTS DON'T TRUST THEIR KIDS SO THEY GOT THIS DEVICE TO PUT IN THEIR CARS TO SEE EVERYTHING THEY DO AND TO PREVENT THEM FROM GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS. ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE ABOUT 1,700 TEENAGERS HAVE DIED FROM FATAL ACCIDENTS.THE DEVICE COULD ALSO TRACK THEM WHERE THEY ARE. BUT SOME PARENTS DON'T LIKE THE DEVICE BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THEIR KIDS SHOULD HAVE THEIR PRIVACY. OTHER ACTIVITES ARE ALSO CAPTURED SUCH AS TEENS TALKING ON THEIR CELL PHONES, LISTENING TO THEIR IPODS AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THERE IS NO PROVE THAT THIS DEVICE WILL CAUSE FEWER ACCIDENTS. HOWEVER, WHEN TEENAGERS KNOW THAT THEIR PARENTS ARE WATCHING THEM THERE WILL BE A LOWER RISK OF ACCIDENTS.
what i read was that there was a man besides al gore that was working on a similar global warming project for over 2 decades then he saw the Al Gore An Incovinient Truth and he supported MR.Gore throu out the entire documentery. from my point of view is that there were presidents that could have told us about global warming but they were to busy wit sumthing different.

Today i have just read an interesting article about joint terrorism task forces:a users manual.F.B.I. Agents find a place of joint[meanig a place where theres drugs.] and before 9/11 there were a bunch of robberies that acured randomly.Then they dicided to raise more technology and take out counter terrorism,federal,state, and local agencies as well as private and non-profit groups
The article i read was about HIV/AIDS. It was about how lesbians, gay people, bisexual and transgender got AIDS. It was a sad story how people get aids. one thing people get aids is drinking too much alcolhol and using the same needle
the story i read about is US should halt AIDS funds for homophobic Uganda: HRW.gay people lesibans and others
As we know, this years weather has been different than any other year. This is called Global Warming. Global Warming is when the weather starts to act different. This winter that has past was very warm. It has been that way because people have too busy polluting the air and thats not good because that is putting OUR lives in danger. I have seen the movie The Day After Tomorrow and it had to do with Global Warming and it showed America what can happen if us Americans keep polluting the air. I think if people KEEP polluting the air, that is what might is gonna happen to us. Anyway, this summer has been very long. Or maybe it has been very warm for a long time now & i think fall is starting to kick in. --Chrystina Garcia
