An article I read beginning to end is "Quake toll hits 75; scores missing"
by John M. Glionna and Rich Connell
Its about and earthquake that had a magnitude of 6.3


"The country’s worst seismic catastrophe in 80 years."
"Attempts to reach trapped victims, some of whom, officials said, were text messaging for help."

I'm thankful that I have never been thruogh an earthquake. I wouldn't be able to handle all of that.

An article that I read from begging to end was Double standard seen in teacher-student sex case
by Michelle Manchir
This is about a teacher who is being charge for sexual assault because she was having sex with a young boy.

“When boys sexually interact with older women they’re viewed as lucky,” she said. “When girls sexually interact with an older male it’s seen as them being victimized.”


I think this is just wrong in people are aware of what they are doing. So I don't find it right that the older person is the only one that has to have it in his/her record they should both be punish if it wasn't rap or ect.

An article I read was "A love for the ages"
is by Colleen Mastony
Its about a couple who are celebrating their 80th anniversary. They meet at a very young couple and are know in in their late 90's and early 100's.

I think this is hard to make it work just for the fact that she meet him at the age of 14 and now of her 90's.

An article I read Obama seeks emergency aid package for Egypt
is by Paul Richter
Obama wants to help Egypt with there struggle wanting to send an emergency package to help them with their financial problems.

"money to help build political parties "
"Egypt’s struggling economy, including high unemployment and rising prices"

Its good that he wants to help another country try to get a stable political struggle but I'm not really sure if our country is at a possition to be helping others with that amount of money at this moment because we are not reallly good position right now financially

An article I read beginning to end was "Families cross fingers for charter school luck"
is by Bonnie Miller Rubin
Its about a mother who wants for her kids to get a good education there for she is signing them up for a charter school even though she knows that they might be in the waiting list. She just hopes as she waits that her children have been accepted.



"I need to know my kids are being prepared for today's world."

I think that what this mother is doing is great jut for the fact that not alot of parents do this for their kids.If I had done my research 4years ago, I would of most likely have been in a better school then being to the schools that I have been at.
