At&t wants to get rid of the unlimited data plan
At&t is planning to get rid of the unlimited data plan. For the unlimited data it costs now 30 dollas and after at&t changes the plan it will cost more for people who go online, watch videos, or use their data plan more. Yet if you don't really use your data plan it will only cost you abput 15 bucks. I feel like At&t will lose a lot of costumers over this and they might go under.

Media Literacy Essay
Joe was the instructor for this course. This course took place every day at 8:00 AM. Daily we had to inform ourselves of the news in this class. Not only did we get to know what was going on in the world on a daily basis but we also had to write our interpretation on the articles we had read. As weeks went by I constantly was informed of what was happening in our earth. The oil spill has been the most tragic story I have read about this entire year. It truly is sad. I’m glad I had to have Joes class as an Advisory class. It was a great and very informant class. joe rules

Momtoddler smoker in Indonesia seeks help for him of
Two year old kid in Indonesia is addicted to cigarettes. He cries if he dosn't have one. I their culture it is normal to smoke around a child freaquently. They arn't really aware of how bad smoking is for then and their kids. his mom did smoke while she was prgo but quit after she delivered. The "normal" age for kids who start smoking in Indonesia is 5 to 6 years, but research says that more and more younger kids are picking up on the habbit. This is truley sad, it's really ignorant how these people think smoking is harmless just because it's been in their culture for so long. Things need to change.

Euro falls, but losses are capped
The dollar is up 8.7% on the euro for the month. The currency has plummeted to four-year lows recently as fears of debt contagion worry investors. Despite a $1 trillion euro-zone rescue package, the euro still is going down in it's value. Nobody knows or can predict when the euro is going to stop declining in value.
Capitalism:An economic system based on a free market, open competition, profit motive and private ownership of the means of production.
Socialism:a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole
Communism:a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.
Laissez Faire:An economic theory from the 18th century that is strongly opposed to any government intervention in business affairs.
I think capitalism is the best one out of all of the above, because its based on open competition, you can also profit from it.

House to vote on raising the oil tax
The House is expected to vote this week on whether to quadruple the oil tax to pay for the damages from the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. They say that the consumers will barely feel the impact of the taxes. In my opinion i think that BP should pay for all of it, they were the ones who f&*^ up. First of all they spent so much time arguing blaming others when they could have been trying to stop or reduce the spill.

Reno, Vegas popular cities to cut the wedding knot
According to studies, Reno is one of the top 100 cities that has a high divorce rate. Some of Nevada's divorce laws made the divorce rate in Reno rise greatly. For example the passage of liberal divorce laws such as a three-month (later changed to a six-week) residency requirement created a divorce made a huge impact on the divorce rates. In a 1930's movie featuring Mayrlin Monroe, she come to Reno to get a divorce, She throws her wedding ring into the Truckee River. For many years Reno has had the reputation for divorced couples.
The top forms of entertainment in my opinion that are most popular for Americans are the ones who bring disasters and horror. For example this article makes Reno look horrible for being one of the top cities that have a high rate of divorce.

Betty White, one of the wonderful actress from THE GOLDEN GIRLS hosted Saturday Night Live on Her fans provided a petition on Facebook. Betty opend up with a really silly punch line "When I was young we didn't have Facebook, we had phone book," she said. Betty White is awesome in my opinion she is the cutest 88 year old lady.
1: We can mostly find entertainment about celebs and their dramarama. Also you can find ads on different show and things you can do to keep yourself entertained.
2: People find out about entertainment that they like by reading their favorite magazines or articles. Perhaps flyers and websites that they constantly visit like Myspace or Facebook.

COP in Philly shot himself on puposed then blamed it on a black man.
The cop said that a black male pointed a silver revolver at his head, the cop said he knocked the gun out o fhis hand but it shot anyway. The bullet went right into his shoulder. He gave cops a descripion of the guy saying he was black, had braided hair and a tattoo near his eye. The police never found the black man whom he said shot him. However they did discover that the cop made the whole thing up. The gun powder that was found on his shirt matched the one in his own gun.
Media focuses on what the people we are at war with do to us and how "bad" they are. They don't focus on the killings the US does, only what they do negatively.
Four killed in Pakistan attacks

craigslist killer
Four people were arrested for killing a man after he posted an ad on craigslist. They all pleaded not guilty. T\hey allegedly murdered James Sanders after his wife and him posted an ad for a dimond ring worth $1,050. The "buyers" agreed to meet them at their home and when they got there they ended up pulling a gun out and assulting their family. After that 2 other men entered the home, one pistoled whipped their older son. Sanders was trying to deffend his older son when he got shot three times. While that was going on the kids mom was laying on the floor getting kicked in the head. The crimes that the media are more focused on are murders and death. I think white and blue collar crimes are not good but i really dont like white collar crimes.

Sport stacking originated in southern California in the 1980's.In 1990 is was futured in the TONIGHT SHOW with Johnny Carson.Speed stacking spread nationally in 1998. Benefits of cup stacking: university study by Dr. Brian Udermann, currently at the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse, confirms that stacking improves hand-eye coordination and reaction time by up to 30 percent. Sport stacking helps students develop bilateral proficiency equal performance on both sides of the body.
I think this sport is unpopular because a lot of people still arn't aware of it. The public dosn't really know much about it in the US. When it becomes know everyone will love it and it will become the next huge thing.

Hundreds protest immigration law in Arizona
Their is a new law that requires police to determine whether a person is in the United States legally. It also requires immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there is reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally. This law makes it okay for cops to stop people just for their apperence, or the color of their skin. In my opinion this is ridiculous and unnecessary.

Myth of the 'gay lifestyle' justifies bias
The person who wraoate this article is pretty much saying that there is no such thing as a gay lifestyle. Gay people do the same daily rituals as "Straight" people. They go to church, go to work etc. Discrimination against gay people need to change. In 29 states, people can be fired simply for being gay regardless of their education, experience or job performance; servicemen and women can be dismissed from the military regardless of their qualifications.

Finding a cure for Indonesia's sick river
IN Bandung, Indonesia there is a small village named Sukamaju. This little village hold the Citarum River, the Citarum River is considered to be one of the most polluted water sources in Indonesia and perhaps the whole world. About 30 million poeple rely on this water basin. The water contains heavy chemicals and metals. The only filter these people have are towls, they also boil the water but that technique does not get rid of the metals in the water. Some of the reasons this water is so polluted is due to the nearby factories that use the river as a dumping ground, locals pollute the water also, for example kids squat over canals and defecate the water. The government is working with the Asian Development Bank to rehabilitate the entire basin.

Plane Makes Emergency Landing on I-80
A plane was having engine problems and had to make an emergency landing yesterday on I-80. Fortunelty nobody got hurt in this accident. The landing was a success. This is crazy that a plane actually landed on a freeway but sometimes things like this need to happen for emergency reasons. Its just a good thing that noone got hurt.

Boy, 12, faces grown up murder charges
In Feb. 2009 Police found a 8 month pregnant woman on her bed with a bullet through her head. It is believed that the 11 year old son of her fiance killed her. Jordan Brown the 11 year old now faces life in prison without possibility of parole. There are debates wheather Jordan should be trialed as an adult or a juvenille. I think this is crazy and insane, very sad though because the dead lady's 4 year old daughter was the one who found her body.

10 Americans Missionaries in Haiti Charged with Kidnapping and Criminal Association
Ten Americans were charged with allegedly trying to take 33 Haitian children. The government of Haiti suggested that the casue could be transfered to the US. Until then the 10 Americans will be in jail. These 10 Americans are all members of a Christian charity that was supposed to help the orphans in Haiti get a new home. What will happen next? I don't know this case will probably go to the U.S.

COLOGNE. The BKK Westphalia lip takes retroactively to 1 January twelve euros per month. The common staff sickness fund Cologne (GBK) and the BKK for occupations of welfare require a per cent of the contributory monthly income. The GBK had as the first health insurance company in the summer 2009 eight euros auxiliary contribution to take. That helped only at short notice however. " We have a relatively high morbidity and an above average expensive Leistungsfall" , chairman of the board says Helmut Wasserfuhr. However for a child with Hämophilie with approximately 40,000 insured comparatively small cash must for 2009 approximately 2.8 million euros to pay. Neither balance mechanisms in the morbidity-oriented risk structure reconciliation (Morbi RSA) still within the BKK group cushion the high loads sufficiently. " I know that other cashes the same problems haben" , says water-drove That did not only transfer to the proportional collection of the auxiliary contribution brings more money, but is also fairer, says it. At present would have also students with 400 euros student financial assistance scheme or children with 50 euros orphan's annuity eight euros auxiliary contribution to pay. Since the GBK already furnished contribution accounts, hold themselves the administration expense within limits. " We must communicate in at the latest one and a half weeks their individual auxiliary contribution to the members, which we become schaffen." Also the BKK for occupations of welfare makes above all inadequacies of the Morbi RSA for the financial bottleneck responsible. " We have above average many young insured ones and predominantly Frauen" , so speaker Jürgen of grains. Pregnancies cost the cashes to much money, however in the Morbi RSA were not illustrated. " By mismanagement no speech cannot be, one can the executive committees reproach machen" with all three cashes; , Theo Giehler, executive committee of the BKK regional organization North Rhine-Westphalia says. It assumes soon further cashes will follow their example.

Class Reflection
Being informed of the news daily was the best part of this class. I love knowing what is going on in the world daily. I honestly don't think this class had any downfalls. Changes for this course are not needed, this class is great just the way it is. Joe always does a great job teaching. Not one time did this class bore me, everyday was intresting. I'm very confident knowing that my reading skills have improved. I would also say my writting skills have improved from taking this class. When it comes down to it, i am very indecisive and i was unable to chose any topics that were my favorites, all of them were really interesting to me. Weebly was a great experience i love being able to login at home and finish any unfinished assignments.

In Western Newton. PA Someone mailed an envelope filled with money to a western Pennsylvania bank that was robbed earlier this month.
This story made me laugh ...... a lot. Hahah somone just went through a whole lot of trouble to rob a bank thats not the funny part though the funny part is when they decided to mail the money back. hahahah
part 2: Funny holiday experience?
That would probably have to be the halloween that i dresses up as a huge tetris piece. Twas 2 of my friends and i we had killler DIY costumes, the only bad thing about the costumes was that we couldnt really move so we wobbled everywhere in them. We decided it would be funny to go to a convinience store in our costumes; we achieved that but minutes from getting in the store we got kicked out. Then we decided to run down some streets but we fell and due to the costumes and the lack of movement we could do, we were laying on the sidewalk for quite some time it was halarious haha. I mean what would you do if you saw 3 tetris pieces run down a street then fall and struggle to get up? I wish i had that on cam. Priceless moment.

A deer was seen with christmas wrapped in its antlers. Neighbors tried to chanse the deer inorder to get the christmas light unwrapped from its antlers but they were unable to suceed. Wildlife managers have told them to let the deer be unless the chords get wrapped aboutn it's neck or mouth.
This is sad to me, poor deer this is just another story that lets us know how much space humans have taken up, wildlife creatures come out inorder to find food we keep taking up space, they either get ran over and killed in roads or something not as tragic happens; in this case it got its antlers wrapped arounf christmas lights.

We traveled around town for hours, we ended up crossing a street during the new year count down. We wasted soo much time, but yet it was still fun. We started our new year by telling eachothe how our last shower was last year. haha My h my we are lame:]

Black nativity angers Italy's "White Xmas" party
A nativity scene featuring a dark-skinned Jesus, Mary and Joseph that went on display in a Verona courthouse has created a heated debate in a city with strong links to Italy's anti-immigration Northern League party.
The nativity's appearance coincides with the League's controversial operation "White Christmas," a two-month sweep ending on Christmas Day to ferret out foreigners without proper permits in Coccaglio, a small League-led town east of Milan.
I think this is really dumb and no christmas should have a skin color, ethnicity. Christmas is for the people who celebrate it. The color of your skin has nothing to do with it.
part 2:
Twas the night before christmas, their was no emily, mark, nor shea in sight. They were too busy stealing the orniments from the huge christmas tree downtown.
They also found shelter for thousand of lonely bums. Shea crocheted thousands of scarfs for these bums and gave them away as christmas gifts. Mark made vegan brownies, but told noone they were vegan. What good children they are. Emily dresses up as a cat and meowed all night this article is unfinished i shall finish it soon.

Violence erupted in the streets of the Xinjiang capital Urumqi on the 5th July, when a crowd of Uighurs - a Muslim minority which has long complained of repression under Chinese rule - attacked members of China's Han ethnic majority.

Hyundai launches Best Young Player Award for South Africa 2010
Hyundai announced today the introduction of the award for the best young player at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. It will recognise the outstanding achievements and courage of young players in next year’s tournament.
1) I believe that FiFa world cup 2010 is an international event because soccer is a very popular sport, especially in other countries outside of the USA. People really get into these games, they even bid on who they think will be the victors.
2) This event is popular world wide because of the ads and because people really love watching this, soccor has been an ancient game but its still very popular. Entertainment and copetitiveness play a large role in the popularity of this game.
3) A lot of Americans like soccer but i think they would chose American football over soccer. I'm pretty sure most Americans dont get super duper excited over soccer I'm sure they don't hate it, but i think they don't really care for it. Soccer is getiing more popular in America, perhaps in the future most Americans will be huge soccer fans and their will be soccer team bumper stickers on every mini van. Who knows. . . . . . . . . .

Goodbye jobs, hello mom and dad, say young adults
According to a study released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center 1 in 7 parents with grown children say that their kid moved back within the last year. Many are returning home because of tight finances or as they pursue an advanced degree. Pew's survey and analysis of government data found that the share of adults 18 to 29 who lived alone declined from 7.9 percent in 2007 to 7.3 percent this year. Drops of that magnitude were also seen during or immediately after the recessions of 1982 and 2001. These kids who move back home are known as "Boomerang kids" because they are coming back to mom and dad, i think the nickname they have for them is kinda funny.
Below you will see the lates data
According to the latest Pew survey and census data:
_About 20 million people ages 18 to 34 live at home with their parents — roughly 30 percent of that age group. That's up from about 18 million, or 27 percent, in 2005.
_About 12 percent of young adults ages 18 to 34 said they were forced to move in with a roommate because of the poor economy.
_Fifteen percent of adults 18 to 34 said they had postponed getting married due to the recession. That share increases to 21 percent for adults ages 25 to 34, when many people tend to get married.
_Fourteen percent of adults 18 to 34 say they delayed having a baby.
Pew based its findings on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau. It also interviewed 1,028 people ages 18 and older by cell phone or landline from Oct. 21-25. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
recessions: the act of receding or withdrawing

More anti-gay, religious-motivated crimes reported
Hate crimes against gays and religious groups have increased dramatically since 2008.
Half of all hate crimes are motivated by race, according to the FBI. One out of every five is driven by religious bias, and one out of every six is based on sexual orientation bias. President Barack Obama signed a bill expanding those covered by the federal law against hate crimes. The law had protected those attacked on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin. The new law covers crimes based on gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. It also removes the restriction that federal authorities can launch investigations of victims who were engaged in federally protected activities like voting or free speech.
Origin: Something from which anything arises or is derived; source; fountainhead: to follow a stream to its origin.
Bias: to cause partiality or favoritism in (a person); influence, esp. unfairly: a tearful plea designed to bias the jury.

Another one of those planes was slammed into the Pentagon. The fourth planes was brought down by the passangers in it. This was a horrifying day many loved ones were lost. A true tradgedy.
bikes & transportation
The effect of automania on the earth and life has been deadly over the last century. Over 40,000 poeple are killed each year in auto accidents in the United States. Additionally, the car-centered suburban lifestyle is a form of social control in which close community has been replaced by lonely individualism and people are penned into TV-molded alienation where they are brainwashed into what to think and believe. Eugene, Oregon, has more miles of bike path per road than any other city in the United States. The choice of two wheels over four is being made by more people all the time. Public transportation in the United States is abysmal when compared to other industrialized countries.
--Theirs not many bike lanes in many places and i think that we should start making The U.S more friendly towards bikers. I really like the fact that Oregon is friendly towards bikers and i truley think we should all do the same.
abysmal: 1. of or like an abyss; immeasurably deep or great. 2. extremely or hopelessly bad or severe: abysmal ignorance; abysmal poverty.

They need Rock stars, artists, visual performers, light shows, I mean come on, it’s a circus, not just a show. It’s the show of shows.

American's are getting worse at math 10/14 here's a link
The math score test's have only slightly rose for eighth graders and not at all for fourth graders keeping our country still sluggish for six years. the nation will not come close to bringing all children to proficiency by 2014 for bush's no child left behind act. only about mid 30s for both grades. “The trend is flat; it’s a plateau. Scores are not going anywhere, at least nowhere important,” said Chester E. Finn, Jr. who is the head of a research place in washington. they said that there has been better results but they are going to keep trying to make kids study harder in order to met what we need.
- I have always hated math, because i've always been bad at math. It's not a good thing that that math scores arn't doing so good, but yet it's totally undrstandable because most kids especially of this age really dislike math. I have no clue how they're gona make kids study harder, i mean you can push a kid to give it their all, but you cant push the kid off the cliff or to the point were they will have an overload in math.

Russian circus bear kills manager
A five-year-old bear who was touring with a Russian circus killed a circus manager and injured a trainer, while having skates on at the time, during a rehersal. Once the Kyrgyz police arrived at the scene they shoot and killed the bear. It is not said what the reason for the attack was. I find it really uncessary for people to train wild animals like these to ice skate and do other things just to get publicity for there circus. I honestly don't think this is right because animals are meant to be wild and it should stay that way
Re-post: I strongly agree with Maritza, bears arn't ment to be in a circus it's like haveing a slave. They should'nt have killed the bear that is wayy wrong. This is really sad to me this whole situation could have been avoided if only there were no circus animals. :[

'Fat Family' Children Taken From Parents
Seven children including a new born were taken from their parents due to the fact that they are obease. They were put into a care home because of concerns over their welfare. The father of this family weights 18 stone; the 13 year old boy weights 16 stone. Local authority insisted it was not its policy to remove children from their family home solely on the basis of weight problems. I think that they shouldn't have removed the kids, perhaps maybe they should have just kept an eye on the kids and made sure that they were maintaining a healthy wieght.
In the UK STONE means 14lbs.

Government Stubs Out Car Smoking Ban Laws
A woman was convicted of smoking in a vehicle containing a three-year-old child in what is believed to be one of the first prosecutions of its kind in Australia.
Britain was considering to introduce similar legislation next year as part of its review of 'smoke-free laws' introduced three years ago. A spokes woman told Sky news this has changed. She said that the government has no plans right now to introduce legislation to prohibit smoking in private cars. Health groups have long called for a ban in the UK, arguing that children should not have to breathe in their parents' cigarette smoke in cars.
