China denies hacking Pentagon

Summary: The Financial Times reported Monday that the People's Liberation Army hacked into a computer system in the office of Defense Secretary Robert Gates in June. The attack forced officials to take down the network for more than a week, the report said. The Financial Times report said the Pentagon was still investigating how much information was stolen, but cited an unnamed person as saying that most of it was probably unclassified.

opinion: There are so many people in China which also means there are many different people. Not all the Chinese are bad but some of them are. However, there are a lot of Chinese hackers has bias on America and Britain because they think America and Britain and other countries are bad. Well, I cannot say hacking is OK for Chinese. I think some Chinese hates America and they just want to steal information or everything and I think as long as you are using your brain, it is ok, even though it is illegal. However, American brains should make better systems and protect their webs better

Pakistan bomb blasts kill 21, hurt dozens

Summary: Two bomb blasts killed at least 21 people and wounded 74 in Rawalpindi. One of the explosions was caused by a bomb hidden on a bus carrying government employees. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks. Pakistan, a key ally of the United States in its war on terror, has been hit by numerous bomb attacks this year.

Opinion: It is always sad to hear about death. There are so many evil around the world these days. Pakistan was just trying to stand against the terrorism and the terrorists were attacking them. Since US claims themselves as a police nation and the good nation against terrorism, America should help Pakistan and try to eliminate evil around the mid-east area.

New York public school accused of radical Islamist agenda

Summary: A public school in New York will teach Arabic language and culture and will impose a radical Islamist agenda in its classrooms. About a dozen security guards and police officers were on patrol in the Brooklyn school. Two parents who were on the design team for the school said it's not a religious school. Some worried people says that if it's a New York City public school, it has to go by New York City standards.

Opinion: I think kids should have freedom in learning things. However, I do no think this is the case. Not all the kids are smart and not all of them are discretional. If the material they are going to learn is somewhat considered evil by the society, I think it is best not to teach them about the evil material. It might not be evil. But, they should follow the majority and the sociery's decision if they are living in it. I think they should not teach Arabic culture.

Americans most productive

Summary: According to a U.N. report, US leads the world in labor productivity. It said, American workers stay longer in the office, at the factory or on the farm than their counterparts in Europe and most other rich nations, and they produce more per person over the year. Accoring to ILO's report, the average U.S. worker produces $63,885 of wealth per year. The U.N. report is based on 2006 figures for many countries, or the most recent available.

Opinion: I cannot deny America is a leading nation. However, I think it is not the workers work hard. I think it is the good system and foundamental laws and all the other stuff than actual work that makes the result better than other counturies where people work 6 days in a week. The UN's important parts, well a lot of them, are located in America - maybe this is why the report was so great to America. Well, I'm not saying anything is bad but I just want to say that America's good SYSTEM is the thing that gives benefit to lesser work.
