1: You don't have to be catwalk-skinny to be a beauty queen, at least not in the English county of Surrey.
Last week, Surrey residents elected teenager Chloe Marshall (a statuesque 5-feet-10-inches tall and 176 pounds) as Miss Surrey, proving that beauty does come in all shapes and sizes. Curvy Chloe Marshall will be the first plus-size model in British history to compete in the Miss England final on July 18. And the outspoken 16-year-old beautician trainee is in it to win it.

Opinion
I think that it is a good thing that a plus size model gets to have a chance to win something like that. People today think that you have to be a twig to actually get awarded for beauty. All sizes need to know that they are beautiful. Especially girls we are held to this standard that we have to be extremely skinny and we do not at all.

2: Luke Pittard didn't quite say "I'm lovin' it," but after winning a $2.7 million lottery he returned to his job flipping burgers at McDonald's. Pittard, 25, from Wales, England, became a millionaire after winning the British lottery 18 months ago. He promptly quit his McDonald's job.
"I don't think much will change in my life, just the fact that I got money," Pittard said at the time.
Things changed less than Pittard expected. Today, he is back at work at the Golden Arches.

Opinion
I think that is amazing a guy that won the lottery would go back and work for McDonalds out of all places. I mean if you really want to work to just not feel lazy then go get another job you can find one. Just the fact he is still there when he won that much money just doesnt make sense to me at all. I think it's good that he kinda has morals and wants to keep his job but still there come on.

1: A young man wielding a 5-inch knife stabbed four people to death in a small Alaska fishing and tourist town on Tuesday before officers subdued him with a stun gun, police said.Jason Abbott, 18, was taken to the jail in Sitka and is awaiting charges, Police Chief Sheldon Schmitt said.
Officers found the bodies of three people just before noon at a two-story home just two blocks from the police station, police said. A fourth person found in the house later died at a hospital.

Opinion
WOW!! That's crazy and why would a guy that young have the need or wanting to kill someone especially with no reasoning behind it. I hate hearing things like this cause I would just like to know the reasoning behind it. I wonder what put the idea in the guys head as to why he needed to do this it is wrong and just not right at all.

2:A desperate Iowa banker facing federal embezzlement and money laundering charges murdered his wife and four young children in their home before killing himself yesterday by slamming the family minivan into a concrete highway abutment, Iowa City police announced Tuesday evening. Steven Sueppel, 42, who was accused of stealing more than a half million dollars, left apologetic messages for his former employer, brother and father, as well as on his own family's answering machine late Sunday night and early Monday morning. He used the same phone from which he called police to direct them to his Iowa City home just minutes before crashing the family's minivan, police said at a Tuesday press conference.

Opinion
That is really wrong and messed up that someone would kill his family because of something he did. Ah it just upsets me and how in the world did his wife not notice where all this money was coming from I mean come on. People need to open their eyes today and actually look at what is going on and do something about it. Don't stand back and watch nothings going to change that way. It's aggrivating.
