Giant storm pounds Midwest, barrels toward Northeast
A huge storm that stretched from Texas to the Great Lakes blanketed the nation's midsection with snow, tying up air travel and making roads treacherous, and headed for the Northeast on Friday.Five inches of snow was reported at Chicago's Midway Airport by early Friday and more was expected to begin around rush hour.
More than 600 flights were canceled Thursday at O'Hare International Airport, where low visibility continued to be a problem Friday

opinion
there would be a lot of problem. there would be a lot of traffic jam and people would have trouble
moving and doing other things. it would be difficult to clean the snow.

spears in now hand of doctors

With Britney Spears whisked out of the public spotlight Thursday and committed to a hospital psychiatric ward, it's now up to a team of professional caregivers to reverse her seemingly endless downward spiral. Spears, accompanied by more than a dozen police officers, was taken to the UCLA Medical Center before dawn Thursday in what one officer would only say was an effort to "get help" for the troubled pop star.
It was her second 72-hour commitment in four weeks, though her previous stay lasted less than two days and was followed by more strange episodes that have accompanied her divorce and bruising child custody battle.

opinion
i dont know how spears is in now doctors hand. she ruined her life when she started to get married. i cant belive she changed like this. i feel bad about how britteny lives her life. i hope the doctors would take a good care of her.

Iraq market bombers called mentally disabled

The first bomber struck at al-Ghazil pet market around 10:30 a.m. The second blast happened about a half-hour later in a southeastern Baghdad market, according to the Interior Ministry.
Al-Ghazil pet market is a popular destination where people buy and sell cats, dogs, monkeys and other animals. Attackers have struck the market on Fridays -- its busiest day -- several times in the last year or so.

opinion
i dont know why there are lot of bomb killing. innocent people are dying and there is no other solution as i see. i guess no one can stop the bomb terrorist. although lot of soldiers guard and watch, stopping bomb suicide isnt easy at all.

Zimbabwe inflation tops 24,000 percent, officially

Zimbabwe's central bank has revealed that its annual inflation has climbed to 24,470 percent, by far the highest in the world -- but far short of independent estimates of 150,000 percent. Zimbabwe Newspapers chief executive Justin Mutasa said, in a front-page announcement, that the increase was forced by sharp hikes in the cost of all raw materials, transportation and wages. School fees increased last month by 600 percent, and the price of scarce gasoline trebled in the past week. Rentals for housing and accommodation have soared.

opinion

wow. i cant believe that it increased massively. i hope there would not be any trouble at economy. increasing that much of percent can give problem to the country and to the people. since there isnt any problems i think the country is doing fine.
