Three robbers pretended to be flower delivery men, made their way into a house in Manalapan, and threatened the residence with a gun on Sunday, Febuary 22, 2009. One of the robbers threatened the residence with a handgun while another looked around the house. However, the activation of the home's security alarm caused the burglars to run away. The police aren't sure if the intruders stole any items from the house and the police didn't track down any suspects yet. I got this info from:

Science Current Events- Animals Become Victims of Australian bushfires =(
Many native animals in Australia are victims as they encountered bushfires and most of them are in bad shape. There are literally thousands of animals that have been orphaned, injured, or even killed however, some where lucky. Sam the koala was found by a firefighter and was rescued, she was one of the lucky ones that survived.In my opinion, i believe that they did a really good deed however, i feel terrible that most of the animals did not survive the intensity of the fires. I also hope that bushfires would someday be prevented so more animals could be safe.

My Science Rollercoaster Project Class Response Blog
In my science class, we are doing a project where we choose groups and make a roller coaster or skate park. My group and I decided to do a roller coaster and we called it The Elephant! because we made it have visual characteristics of an elephant. Three Interesting facts about our project are:
* We were supposed to include at least three hills and at least one real characteristic of a roller coaster such as a loop or a bend. * The purpose of this project was to display gravitational potential energy and rolling friction. * These roller coasters were only made out of household items such as paper towel rolls and cardboard. In my opinion, I think everyones roller coasters and skate parks look great especially our roller coaster THE ELEPHANT! - By Vikinggirl15!

In San Miguel Del Monte, Argentina farmers encounter droughts that killed many cattle and crops. The farmers are struggling and are in deep trouble, they are losing money and really need rain fast. This is the worst drought in half a century and is ruining all their soil."I'm losing money. I can't afford to lose money all the time," said Juan Cahen D'Anvers, whose family has been farming in Argentina since the late 1700s. In my opinion, I believe that this is really depressing and we really need to help so farmers don't loose all their money. This information was found at:

My Electromagnetic Spectrum project!
A few days ago in my science class, we learned about waves of the electromagnetic spectrum. Then, my teacher assigned my class a project to research one of the electromagnetic waves, and the electromagnetic wave I chose was ultraviolet rays! The three interesting facts I learned about ultraviolet waves are: * Ultraviolet rays can cause skin cancer, premature aging, and problems with the immune system.* Ultraviolet rays can kill bacteria
* Sunlight is the major source of ultraviolet rays
In my opinion, I think that ultraviolet rays are helpful but dangerous and that everyone should do whatever it takes to protect their skin from ultraviolet rays in order to prevent the risk of skin cancer. So remember to always wear sunscreen when you are out in the sun.

On January 20, 2009 the inauguration of President Obama took place. To most people, it was an exciting and unforgettable moment in history. A lot of people went to Washington to witness history in the making. As it stands now, Barack Obama is now our 44Th president in the United States.
As onlookers took in the sight of Obama during the inauguration several thoughts crossed their minds. For example, "It's the first time in my life I've ever had someone to look up to. I'm a mixed, multi-ethnic, multinational person, and I've never had someone I could look up to politically and say, 'That's somebody who can represent me. That's somebody who I can relate to. That's somebody that my family can relate to,' and the fact that he actually made it into office is just ... it gives me hope that I can do whatever I want to do in my life and not have a glass ceiling above me," as expressed by one of the onlookers. People witnessing the inauguration had felt a deep connection with our 44Th president. The onlookers really look up to him as he now represents our nation. In my opinion, I think that Obama is a perfect choice for president and i think that he will do a great job as president.
"Our nation is at war, against a far reaching network of violence and hatred," Obama said. "Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age."said our new President at his inauguration. My analysis: the inauguration of Barack Obama was a significant event in history because he is the first African-American president in history. In my opinion, I think that it was a great idea for people to vote for Barack Obama because I believe that maybe the problems we are having trouble with now might be impacted by this change in history. However, I am still not quite sure if people wanted to vote for Obama or if the people just want a democratic president after having a republican for eight years?
