Jet Crash Wiped Out Man's Family

Yesterday afternoon a man named Dung You Yoon lost his family in a jet crash in San Diego. His wife, two children and his mother-in-law were killed by a fighter jet that lost power and by chance crashed through their home and burst into flames. One day after losing his family, Yoon held a news conference asking for guidance from people who have suffered ''more terrible things.''

Plaxico Burress Shoots Himself in the Thigh

Plaxico Burress has just been suspended from the NFL for the rest of the season and will go to court in March for possession of an illegal firearm. He accidentally shot himself in the thigh while at a Manhattan Night Club on Friday. His teammate, Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce will be questioned about the shooting. Pierce was driving Burress to the hospital in his SUV and the SUV will also be investigated. The lawyer says that Burress will be found not guilty for possession of an illegal firearm. Burress did not have a gun license. Luckily, he wasn't seriously injured.

Be Careful

Today at school 10-15 people were suspended because of the gossip page on Myspace. So I want you all to be mindful of what you put up on the internet because those little things can effect you in a big way. Some examples of that are: schools look at that and they wont accept you, employers also look at those things, you really don't want to mess up your reputation for a little attention, friends or the opposite sex. Most importantly everybody in the world has at least one person who dislikes them and that person will do anything to make you second guess about what you posted. So I am going to say this one last time be careful of what you put on Myspace because it can hurt you or someone else.

Dorothea Lange

Dorothea Lange was born May 25, 895 and died October 11, 1965. When she was twelve her father "Henry Nutzhorn" abandoned her and her mother. That's why Lange's last name came to be Lange. Lange was educated in the art of photograghy in New York. After marrying Mayard Dixon in 1920 she stopped taking photo's inside the studio and started taking photos of the homeless and unemployed during the Great Depression. This led her to employment with the Farm Security Administration. She went around the country documenting the events that happened throughout the Great Depression. She has taken many great photograghs.

No To Prop 8

In the same election in which Barack Obama became the first black president people also voted against gay marriages in California. In my opinion I think that it is wrong for people to vote against gay marriages because if you love someone same sex or not you can't stop them from loving. Its ironic that in this historical election peolpe are so judgemental.

Allen Iverson

Allen Iverson is finally on a championship team, the Detroit Pistons. The pistons have won the 2004 championship against my favorite team since Shaq was on the team, the Los Angeles Lakers(I hate the Pistons for that). Allen Iverson is one of the best shooting guard I ever seen since Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson. Iverson first team was with the Philadelphia 76ers. His second was with a trade to the Denver Nuggets for Andre Miller and a draft pick. Now his 3rd and maybe his final team until he gets a NBA championship in another trade for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess, the Detroit Pistons

Go And Get It

Beyonce's (Sasha Fierce) CD came out yesterday with her two hits "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" and "If I Were A Boy". So go and get it soon before they sell out.

Librarys could be closed

During this financial crisis Mayor Nutter is suggesting closing the city's libraries to meet budget cut needs. But at the same time, he is trying to open a casino that will destroy the Gallery when The Gallery brings in a lot of money and employs a lot of people in Philadelphia. The library also employs people and people visit the library too. Mayor Nutter is committing political suicide.

Scorpio Horoscope

Your traditional ruling planet Mars is given greater authority now by Saturn, transforming the warrior planet into a strategist. You have an uncanny ability to organize complex data and to motivate people to perform specific tasks that weave together into a well-orchestrated action plan. If handed the reins of leadership today, grab them and don't relinquish control no matter what.

Is Rihanna Really Pregant?

Future Deja

This is me when I grow up. I would like to be a biochemist or a pediatrician.

A brave new world

Barack becoming president has me thinking I can do anything. The revelation that an African American man has become president has children dropping weapons and picking up books, thinking about their education. It gives children an honest chance to achieve in their dreams and get out of situations that they should not be in. Kids of every color can be what they want all they have to do is go to the library, listen in school and not be afraid to ask for help rather than give up. Also be grateful for what the have and live their life.

Barack Obama

Barack Obama is the first African-American to be elected for President of the United States. I know his grandma and mom are looking down and congratulating him. This makes every African American set their hearts out on what they want to do and not care when people talk negatively to them. Since Barack Obama made history, I want to make history, to be the first African American to find a place where no one else has found (when I'm older).

Coffee Corner!

Coffee is a stimulated beverage that's roasted from seeds. These seeds come from coffee plants and coffee beans. Coffee is the most popular beverage in the world and millions of people drink it. Coffee is usually drunken by 16-80 years old but most of the time little kids get into it and drink it too. If little kids were to have coffee they would be more angry than ever and it could cause a growth stunt in their height. Coffee can also cause Alzheimer's disease, heart diseases, Parkinson's disease and Diabetes type2 . Coffee was first discovered in the high land of Ethiopia and speared all over the world . I got all of my information from wikipedia.

My Surroundings

Today was a good day, my surroundings make me very aware of where I live in and the people I meet every single day. It was very interesting how people come together to express their points, tell stories, and sometimes tell each other off.

All those things that happened within a day all ends when you eat some of the most delicious ICE CREAM/WATER ICE in NORTH PHILADELPHIA (23rd BERKS). The Water Ice that Mr. Elnashir gave was kind of cool and how he gave it to us out of the kindness of his HEART. It was very good that you have a shop that is convenient in the neighborhood ( you don't have to drive to another section of the city for something that you probably ha ve in your neighborhood.

The flowers are blooming and the trees/bushes are growing and the bees are pollinating for some Lectar to take back to the HIVE. The wind is blowing very COLD AIR, I am SICK so it did not affect me; I WAS BURNING UP.

Mr. Elnashir's Ice Cream Shop

Mr. Elnashir's Ice Cream Shop has been open for two months on 23rd and Berks. His ice cream shop has a variety of ice cream, water ice, cookies and candy. In the winter he plans on having soup, hot cocoa and breakfast items. I like going there because there are a lot of sweets and it's in the neighborhood. Please go visit Mr. Elnashir's Ice Cream Shop.

Change

Barack Obama is our first African American President and he didn't get elected yet. Do you agree?

Barack Obama

If Barack Obama were to win the election do you think it would have a positive or negitive effect on African Americans?

Democrats vs.Republicans Ideas

We all know about Democrats and republicans and how they have these diffrent ideas about how we as a country should be run. But the same age old question always bothers me... which one is better???
Here is some info on the Republicans:
*Old honest Abe got them to be really popular
*they presided over the civil war
*Today they support a conservative platform
*Bush is the 19th republican to hold office if Mcain wins then he'll be the 20th
Main idea:Less government rule
Democrats:
thats just some small facts now lets look on the flipside of Democrats
*Founded by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson
*Barack Obama is who their rooting for
*the party holds an outright majority in the house of representatives
* control a plurality of state legislatures
Main idea: Liberal rights and more government rule
(If you want more info go to wikipedia.org)

BRITTANY SPEARS AT THE VMA'S

I think it's pitiful that Brittany won all those awards at the VMA's. She's such a bad influence. The sources are just confused because one minute their like Brittany lost her kids, she's a mess, she just tired out and old, she so poor, and no one likes or cares about her no more. Then the next minute they are giving her awards, saying she is fierce and that they love her. They need to just make up their minds . Like aren't people supposed to earn their awards. I feel sorry for the other entertainers who actually work hard and care. BRITTANY DOES NOT DESERVE AN AWARD...at least until she learns how to take responsibility [like taking care of her kids]. Brittany's pitiful.

BACK 2 SKOOL

HeLLO WORLD, TODAY IS A NEW DAY !

Today was very exciting because it was BACK 2 SKOOL DAY. I am very happy because i am now finally a SENIOR and I am apart of the CLASS OF 2009. As a Student of the Hallahan Community and a Leader of tomorrow. I am very happy that i am taking part of history that has flourished since 1911. Even though that it is an all girl high school, it has an advantage, U can make a whole lot of friends so easily and you can feel very comfortable. When I leave Hallahan, I want to be a positive influence for young girls and outside of skool, even though I have a bad temper and attitude, i dont want people outside of skool to look at me like that, I want them to look at me being a EMPOWERING, WILLING, And DETERMINED Person who strives to give her all even if people dont want to see me succeed.
