SUMMARY
In Philadelphia; a woman, Anne Mahlum, would run by homeless every day as they cheered her on. One day she wondered why she was running by them and advancing her life but they always stayed stationary. She contacted homeless shelters and arranged for running gear to be donated. She called the organization "Back on My Feet". There are 54 homeless participants and more than 250 volunteers. "Requirements for shelter residents to join are simple -- they must live in an affiliated facility and be clean and sober for 30 days. Members receive new shoes and running clothes, and teams run together three times a week between 5:30 and 6 a.m." She think the running teaching discipline and dedication. One man who went through the program now has a job, is in school, training to run a marathon, and no longer does cocaine.
OPINION
This is pretty neat. I would agree with Ms. Mahlum, team sports do encourage discipline and the way this program is set up is very team like. I think this is a very clever way to help homeless people without enabling them to continue as are. The requirements are very good as well so the people who get in can all be supports and not the downfall to others. The diversity of the running groups are also good. The article said the groups have doctors, students, homeless people all running as a group.

SUMMARY
A man claims he is pregnant. He was born a woman but that never felt right so he began testosterone treatment to make him a man. He met his wife, Nancy, while he was still a female. Nancy said she was unable to have kids so Thomas, her now pregnant husband, said he would do it. One artificial insemination test later he became pregnant. Many groups found out about his claim and decided that there would need to be more proof. Oprah had the couple on her show. Oprah had cameras follow the two around to their doctors appointment. The doctor ran an ultra sound to show a little girl in Thomas' stomach.
OPINION
This is kind of disturbing. Can you just imagine the kid being like "My dad gave birth to me!" to her friends when she is little and totally getting made fun of. And when she sees pictures of her dad pregnant. The child is going to be so confused. I think that this is somewhat like playing God. I just think it is wrong that Thomas even changed to a woman. They seem like a loving couple so I suppose that is good albeit strange.

SUMMARY
A pirate siezed a French yacht. The yacht was taken over on its way back from Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean, toward the Mediterranean Sea. The prime minister of France said, "This is a blatant act of piracy." Currently the French government is dealing with this single act of piracy but last year pirates siezed more than 24 ships off the coast of Somalia.
OPINION
This is a rather neat fact. I had no idea that pirates were so prevelent today. I have always wanted to meet a pirate and now for all I know I have and did not realize it. Ah, I suppose I now must go to France and be a crew mwmber on luxury yachts. Anyways, in all seriousness, although, I wasn't entirely kidding before, I hope the issue is dealt with. The yacht sounded quite expensive and that would be a large loss for the company which owned it.

SUMMARY
A man in Canada had 15 sexual partners in seven years -- that's not even the craziest part of the story. The man, Carl Leone, had HIV and neglected to tell any of his partners about his condition. Five of those partners now have been diagnosed with HIV. He pled gulty to the charge so the women would not have to testify so he was sentenced with 18 years in jail. In 6 years he will be able to go on parole.
OPINION
What a jerk! I suppose I can understand why he would not tell the women he had AIDs but he still should have. That is seriously messed up. I feel especially bad for the five who actually contracted the disease. This is a perfect example for monogamy. Waiting to have sex until marriage is a clever idea. There would be far less STDs and emotionally disturbed people.

Study: 1 in 50 U.S. babies abused, neglected annually
About 1 in 50 U.S. infants are victims of nonfatal child abuse or neglect in a year, according to the first national study of the problem in that age group. The study was based on children younger than 1 year, and found almost a third of those who had been abused. The researchers counted more than 91,000 infant victims of abuse and neglect in the period October 1, 2005. The information came from a national database of cases done by protective services agencies in 45 states.
Opinion
THis is a very sad but at the same a true statistic. It is sad that many babies eventhough they are cute, they are neglected simply because their parents are ignorant. People just want to have sexual relationships but they do not want to pay the consequences and the ones that end up paying them is their children. People should not only think about themselves but also about those around them.

Ten killed in Pennsylvania house fire
Ten people were killed Thursday after fire swept through a house outside Brockway, Pennsylvania. The blaze started about 2:45 a.m. The 10 people killed ranged in age from 4 months to 40 years old. Fire marshals were at the scene trying to determine the cause, but Trooper Bruce Morris told the AP the fire did not appear to be suspicious.
Opinion
This is a weird case. It is hard to believe that a house was on fire with no cause. I think that police should investigate more about this case becuase maybe someone was responsible for this fire. It is sad that not only onw or two people died but instead 10 people died.

1:Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been arrested at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 for allegedly spitting at a police officer, Sky News television reported Thursday.
A London Metropolitan Police spokesman said a woman was arrested at the terminal for an assault on police, but refused to disclose her identity or give her age.
The spokesman spoke on condition of anonymity in line with force policy.
Opinion
Well i think that she is dumb for doing that and it is so disrespectful to the policeman with spitting on him. Although it's kinda nice to see someone other than normal people get caught for something. She needs to actually be punished if that was her second time to doing something like that.
2:A Beijing court has sentenced Hu Jia, one of China's most vocal dissidents to 3½ years in prison plus another year's banishment from political activism for "inciting subversion of state power." Journalists and envoys from foreign embassies, including the United States, were denied access to the courtroom and had their identification cards checked by police outside the court complex.
The verdict said Hu's interviews with foreign journalists as well as articles he wrote and were distributed online were libelous.
Opinion
I think it's dumg but also kinda smart that they banned and sent them to jail. I mean they must be protesting for something goodor at least for a good reason. People should probably approach the situation different instead of just going out and doing it try and do it the right way.

1: A Wisconsin college student found dead in her Madison apartment has sparked fears that a killer may be loose near the sprawling university campus.
Brittany Sue Zimmermann, 21, was found dead in her apartment near the University of Wisconsin-Madison shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday by police called to check on the student's welfare. A preliminary examination by the Dane County coroner has ruled her death a homicide. The coroner did not say how the woman was killed, but an autopsy was scheduled for today.
Opinion
That's wrong that someone would just kill an innocent girl. I mean these people need to find this guy because maybe if this guy turns into being a serial killer. The society nowadays aren't taking these things as serious as they should be. It is wrong and people need to handle the situation with more caution and start taking action more fast.
2:Thomas Beatie, a former woman who is now a pregnant man, defended his decision today to have a baby, saying he has a "right to have a biological child." Despite removing his breasts, growing a wispy beard and legally having his gender changed from female to male, Beatie, 34, kept his female sex organs intact because he hoped to have a child some day.
After years of struggling with his sexual identity and deciding to live as a man, he did the most womanly thing possible -- he became pregnant. In an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, Beatie said his lifelong desire to have children motivated him to use his still working female reproductive organs when he learned that Nancy, his wife of five years, was unable to conceive.
Opinion
This is DISTURBING!!!! I think that if you want to have kids you need to at least stay the same sex. Come on if your going to change sexes you need to go along with all the things that sex does and that would be not bearing children for men. It's sad that your wife can't have kids but come on it looks so weird if a man is pregnant, and think of what you have to tell your kid one day!!!! WRONG!!!! In so many ways.

Europeans Taking Advantage of Recession
SUMMARY
An apartment that would seem outrageously priced to us in the U.S. is considered a great deal for Europeans looking to get a peace of U.S. soil or high rise. New York real estate companies are seeing an abundance of Europeans since the decline in the dollar and increase in the Euro. They say that the Europeans make up about 30% of the buyers in the housing market. Realtors do not see this as a down fall because they think the diversity, especially in New York City makes the city as great as it is with such diverse cultures.
OPINION
As much as I wish I were European and had Euros, I think it is great that they can come to our wonderful country and buy up all of the good real estate while we can’t buy it. If we can get enough Europeans to do this then our dollar could start to increase and we could call our country Euromerica or Amerope in order to combine all the cultures. Then we can bring in the Euro and make it our new money and soon enough the Euro will be adapted by the entire world and we will never have to worry about exchange rates and the world having different money values ever again. Then maybe even Jesus will come back and there will be peace in the Middle East!

Red Eyes in London
SUMMARY
For the first time in history, London’s Heathrow airport has opened up to Continental red eye flights from New York. The slot however did no come cheap. It cost a mere two hundred million dollars, but the airlines say it was worth every penny. The flight made it in a record six hours and forty five minutes. Many of the passengers on board had no idea hey were on a historic flight, for all they new was that Continental had always been flying into Heathrow. This is really a big step for the airlines and they hope that this opportunity will lead to many future opportunities.
OPINION
This is a big step for a London airport to allow another American based company into their airport terminal. I hope some how this will help the stocks here in the U.S. and will help boost the economy faster than expected and the recession will be over. I think this will really help the airlines and I hope they will be able to buy more slots soon. I just hope that fuel prices will go down so that airline flights will be able to go down in price.

Church Controversy
SUMMARY
In Topeka, Kansas over five hundred people from all over Kansas gathered in front of Westboro Baptists Church to protest against the church. The protesters want the church to reconsider what the bible says and be acceptant of everyone no matter what their sexual orientation is. They think that there is too much hate in the religion. The protest is directed directly to the leader of the church, Fred Phelps. They claim that there is too much hate coming from the church against homosexual. The church argues that the people are ignorant and they protestors have not even taken the time to read the Bible and see what it says. God is intolerant and has a hard time making exceptions for sin.
OPINION
I believe what the church is saying although it sounds like there is a little too much hate being portrayed instead of taking in the reality that we need to love even the sinners. This is going to be a huge problem Christians are going to have to face as homosexuality grows in ‘popularity’. I don’t think churches should cast out homosexuals but they should welcome them even though they are sinners because everyone sins and that would be classifying sins and God disgraces that. We should welcome in the sinners and try to show the moral truths in the Bible to lead them away from their sin.

Zimbabwe Poll Confusion
SUMMARY
In Zimbabwe opposition supporters printed out a mass of false news letters with unofficial results saying that Shanguri won the election against Mogawbi with more than 50%. At this time when the papers were distributed the election tallies were not even done yet. Some of the opposition supporters say that the official results do not even matter and that Shanguri will be the new president, and this will be the start of a new era. Many believe that this is very likely true because Mogawbi seems to have little control of the situation and is being over ruled by the lower house. If Shanguri does win then the road ahead of him is going to be long and hand.
OPINION
It sounds to me that it is time for Mogawbi to step down even if he does win the election by a few votes. There would be no point for him to continue office because he has lost control. I am afraid that the opposition is so strong that he will and up getting assassinated or something if he continues because there will be so many people against him. There is a point when government should reconsider its decisions they make when more than half of the population is not in support of the government. The government should represent the people not condone them.

Congress is electing to pass a bill that would allow the printing of cions that would honor the civil rights act that got rid of horrible treatment of blacks The bill would direct the U.S. Mint to produce 350,000 $1 coins to be sold beginning in 2014, marking the anniversary of the landmark law's signing in 1964. The Civil Rights Act barred restaurants, hotels and other public places from denying service to blacks and outlawed employment
This cool but I don’t really think that this sort of thing will catch on but it is funny that they are starting to pass legislation now in congress even though they aren’t set to be put on sale until 2014. this is just an example of how long it takes legislation to pass I mean they have to start six years early to just pass something simple like a silver dollar.

Florida Man Who Killed Ex-Wife, 2 Children Called It 'Cleansing Act'
Summary:
LARGO, Fla. — A Pinellas County teacher who fatally shot his ex-wife, their two children, another woman and himself in December left behind a letter that indicated the killings would cleanse the world of "sociopath" and "unethical" tendencies, according to newly released documents. "Though this act may be viewed as depraved and evil, it does, in fact, leave the world a better place," authorities said Oliver Thomas Bernsdorff wrote in a letter found on his computer after the slayings. Ballistics tests confirm Bernsdorff used the same gun in all the killings and to take his own life when state troopers tried to pull him over for driving erratically, Clearwater police spokeswoman Elizabeth Daly-Watts wrote in a statement.
Opinion:
Well I guess he is right, since he did kill others its only appropriate for hi to take his own life. I think it’s sad that he feels that was though. I think that he should get help with his emotional or mental problems before he shot and killed his own wife and children. Some people are so stupid.
Witness in O.J. Simpson Armed Robbery Case Accuses Alleged Victim of Threatening Him
Summary:
LAS VEGAS — A key witness in the O.J. Simpson armed robbery case has accused one of the alleged victims of harassing and threatening him, his business and his family. Collectibles broker Thomas Riccio filed a Los Angeles police complaint accusing memorabilia dealer Alfred Beardsley of "criminal threats" by telephone and text message, Riccio's lawyer said Wednesday. A clerk in the LAPD records unit confirmed that a report was taken Monday, but said she could not provide details. Riccio, 45, of Los Angeles, said he could not comment because he has a contract for a tell-all book, titled "Busted," being released next week about the alleged heist.
Opinion:
OMG I think that OJ should have been locked up years ago… if he was none of thins would have happened. Gay! Since those jurors sucked… I think that he should get locked up now. Seriously, how old are these accused people… 14? To be sending threatening text messages seem very childish, and dumb. Get over it, you got caught and now are lying about it.

A 14-year-old girl in a Texas middle school gave birth in a bathroom, and then tried to flush her baby. The mother of the baby told a counselor she had tried to flush the baby in the bathroom after she had given birth. The baby did not survive.
Opinion:
This is horrible. If you do not want to have a child, there are other options--like birth control or condoms, something, anything but killing your baby after it is born. If the girl did not have these options at the time the baby was conceived ( if she had been raped) then she still could have used the morning after pill. This baby could have been taken to a drop off place at a hospital or something. How can this girl live with herself after what she has done? Fourteen years old is old enough to be responsible for this sort of crime, and she should be charged and prosecuted.
