International
Summary: In Sao Paulo, Brazil, an executive jet crashed into a Brazilian neighborhood on Sunday. THe jet crash killed at least eight people. The crash left a big pile of smoky rubble just months after the city suffered an air disaster. The plane belonged to a Brazilian air tax company. The crash slammed into two houses and the dead included four men, two women, a child, and another person. Here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,307980,00.html

Opinion: I wonder what had caused the crash. I really get frightened when i hear about plane crashes. I have never been on a plane before and i probably won't be on one for a very long time. I think i'll stick with driving instead of driving.

Summary: In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, a U.S. based charity is hopeing to fight the spread of AIDS with a new product that just came out: coffee-scented condoms. It is a unique product that appeals to the coffee mania in the country that claim they invented the beverage. ANdrew Piller, director of DKT's local chapter, said that the product wasn't made to make money but instead make the condom users more comfortable. In Ethiopia, consumers bought about 300,000 coffee flavored condoms during the week of September which was also during the time when the product was first introduced.

Opinion: This product introduced sounds really disgusting! I don't want to sound immature but why would anyone want to buy coffee condoms? It really sounds weird that the consumers in Ethiopia would all together buy 300,000 coffee condoms. If the people in Ethiopia want to stop the spread of AIDS, they all should stop having SEX! It may sound very difficult, but i'm pretty sure that's better than making coffee condoms.

In Syracuse, New York, a dentist was dancing to a song called,"Car Wash", and then punctured a woman's sinus cavity during an extraction and lodged near her eye socket. He punctured it with an inch long drill bit and the woman had to have emergency surgery and spent 3 days in the hospital because of the mishape. THe woman said she still suffers facial swelling, nerve damazge, and chronic infections. The woman wants $600,000 for her medical expenses, pain, suffering, and filed a lawsuit against Dr. George Trusty. Here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,307691,00.html

Opinion: I can't believe that dentist actually did that to the women he was working on while dancing to the Car Wash song. THe song isn't even that catchy. I would probably sue for more money on that dentist if i was the patient he was working on. The dentist must feel really, really embarrassed.

In Goshen, Ohio, a cheerleader coach, football coach, were fired after the cheerleading coach and cheerleader were allegedly photographed together topless at the football coach's house. The football coach held a party at his house and the two girls posed for the photos. The photos were posted online. The freshman cheerleader could face disciplinary action from her school's code of conduct. Here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,307950,00.html

Opinion: These people are really stupid! I know that sounds really mean but it's true. I don't know why the football coach posted the pics online. I'ts like he wanted all three of them to get in trouble and have everybody find out. Wow, I feel really dumb just reading about these people.
