= Please remember to date your current events postings! = World News: 8/10: Incomplete Local News: 8/10 Total: 16/20 =Headless bodies found in northern Guatemala drug region= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-13407591

"The decapitated bodies of at least 25 men and two women have been found near Guatemala's border with Mexico". These bodies have been discovered on a ranch in Peten province 500km north of the capital. Police had mentioned that these killings could have been linked to a battle between drug gangs fighting for control of the area. "Mexican cartels are increasingly moving into northern Guatemala, an important transit point for drugs smuggled from South America to the US". Police said this is the worst massacre we have seen in modern times.

I personally think this is a huge loss for the people of Guatemala loseing 25 men and women. This is a terrible result that is linked with a battle between drug gangs fighting. I wish there were no drugs involved with any of these killings, drug use usually ends up with a result of violence. This battle between the drug gangs was considered to be the worst massacre that people have seen in modern times. I think that if people were not to get involved in drug use there wouldnt be nearly as much violence and conflict. =Slave Lake firefighters struggle to save town= http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/story/2011/05/16/slave-lake-fire-evacuation.html

Authorities in slave lake, alta. Have begun to measure the damage on monday as hundreds of people who faced deadly wildfires remain huddled in evacuation centres. The town mayor Karina Pillay-Kinnee had said the town has losts its hall and radio station. She had also mentioned the town lost many homes and buildings. This town is barely hanging in there Karina mentioned to CBC news. There is a crew in the town working the command centre, mobilizing emergency providers here. Slave lake has suffered a huge loss.

Slave lake is in alot of trouble because of these fires that are spreading across the forest. This is a crazy huge fire that has spread almost everywhere around slave lake. I hope these fires stop soon in Slave lake, so that the town can start a rebuild of the homes and buildings that were lost. I think the emergency crews are doing as much as they can to stop the fires from spreading more. The wind is the reason these fires are spreading everywhere, but we cant control mother nature therefore the people are going to have a tough time stopping these fires.

Liberal and Conservative leaders traded jibes today(April 20th) in a war of words saying that one minority government may emerge from the upcoming May 2nd federal election. If Stephen Harper's Conservatives win most of the seats but not enough for a majority of the seats, they will have the same right to form a government and present a budget to the House of Commons(says Michael Ignatieff). "I have never said I will vote against his budget," Ignatieff told reporters in Saint John. Harper would have to negotiate some support with the other parties and govern accordingly, he added.

I personally think that these two are acting really immature about the issue. I dont like the way Michael Ignatieff is trying to run things. Stephen Harper is the one to go with, he has experience with this issues and hes the one to go with. I think Stephen Harper will get most of the seats and will have alot more power. These two have been arguing with one another for quit some time and it doesnt look good.

Officials were working around the clock to stay on top of some of the worst floods seen in years. rising waters have already forced over 700 people out of their homes and the damage is inevitable. while sandbaging around houses and other places was successful but as the water rises it makes it harder for the sandbags to work. over 80 highways and major roads are completely covered in water. and all this water can mean late seeding for farmers, which could mean rising food prices.

as we strive to get more oil and coal we are polluting our water and our plants. this will slowly affect our food supply but with the oil sands its taking oil out of the sand and is putting back clean sand.

how should we respond to Globalization impact on the environment?
economic growth must balance with stewardship in order to create a prosperous future Questions to ask yourself 1. is there enough energy for everyone to heat their homes? 2. can industry produce enough oil and gas to continue driving your car 3. will there be enough water for the future 4. can the plant produce enough food to feed everyone The worlds population has been growing at a rapid rate improved health care and better technology means more people are living longer than ever, fewer people dying of disease, and more children surviving into adulthood however there have yet to be great improvments in food production so that land can yeild larger crops

In this section you will explore ideas about what prosperity and sustainability mean to different people. Does prosperity just mean being rich, or are there other factors that contribute to a good life? In today's interconnected world. the global economy is growing at a great rate. Can our current level of economic and industrial activity be maintained over the long term, or does that really matter? Exploring these concepts will help you answer the inquiry question for this section: What does sustainable prosperity mean to me?===== The early 1950's was a time of great promise in many parts of the world. World War 2 was over, and many of the powerful nations of the world had joined together to form new organizations dedicated to peace and security, developing friendly relations between nations, solving international problems, and promoting respect for human rights around the world. Most nations had agreed that imperialism should end and that each country should have control of its own affairs. Peace, political stability, economic growth, and greater connections between nations made many people around the world believe that sustainable prosperity for all people was possible. What is sustainable prosperity? What does it mean to you?

=Budget renews eco retrofits, but no HST deal...March 21st= http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2011/03/21/pol-budget-advancer.html The conservative government budget includes student loan forgiveness for nurses and doctors, $400 million to renew a home energy retrofit program and a new program were it links veterans with lots of job training opportunities CBC news has learned. A government source will provide a student loan forgiveness for 40,000 dollars for doctors and up too 20,000 for nurses in some rural areas. These actions are only considered in remote or rural areas.

I personally think $400 million dollars to renew a home energy retrofit program is very insane. This does not affect me but, its crazy how much money doctors and nurses are given in this student loan forgiveness program. It would really suck for a doctor or nurse that is not in the remote or rural area of this program. I think doctors and nurses would be very thankful to get this amount of money for this student loan forgiveness program. Jason: A very interesting story for you to share. Be sure to answer the question “how does this affect people on a global scale? (7). Try to provide a more in depth answer.

Current Event-March 7, 2011 Pro-Gaddafi forces have launched several air strikes on Libya's rebel-held oil port of Ras Lanuf [] One of the attacks have destroyed a car carrying a family. This attack resulted with one person dying. The UN had said 200,000 people have fled in the violence, this revolt has been going on for 3 weeks. Nato is considering military options in response to the event in Libya, the US president Barack Obama has said. Bin Jawad was 50km to the west and has fallen to forces loyal to Libyan Col Gaddafi, correspoondents had said he was checking the rebels westward progress. Obama had said that they sent a very clear message to the Libyan people.

I personally think this is a crazy event happening here because of the attacks happening in the past few weeks. I think this is insane bacause 200,000 people have fled in violence and its been happening for 3 weeks. I chose this article because it looked like it had good depth and lots info about it. I feel sad that this is happening, i wish everyone and everything could have peace and not have to fight. I liked this article because it was about Libya and, it had some intersting things to read about in its story.

Current Event-March 2,2011 Frankfurt Airport Shooting: Two dead and Two Injured [] Two people have been shot on a bus near Frankfurt Airport. The driver of the bus was shot and killed along with a US soldier. These two were reported killed, and two more people were seriously injured. Police have reported that it was a 21 year old suspect from Kosovo, this suspect was arrested in front of Terminal 2 at Europes second biggest airport. Police have also reported that this is unclear weather or not it was a terrorist attack. This whole event ocurred inside the bus on march 2nd 2011. The US army has not said much about this crime, but they are still looking into the event.

I personally think that this is crazy to have a shooting right outside of the second biggest airport in Europe. I chose this article because shooting stories are interesting to lots of people. This article upsets me because two people were shot and killed while two more were seriously injured. Now i want to know how many years this suspect will have to serve in jail after doing something like this. I feel sad for the family and friends of these four people affected in this shooting event that occured today. I still wonder how the suspect got a gun onto a bus near the second biggest airport in Europe.

Imagining the Perfect World:

I think the Perfect World would look very identical to the one we have right now. This Perfect World would have everything the same except for the wars and hatred between certian Nations. The World would work so much easier if there was peace for everyone. I beleave there would be lots of industries, and therefore there would be pollution in the air we breath. This World would have countries and races just like the one we have today. The change i would like to see in the Perfect World would be that all countries and all races get along with one another and have no hatred or racism. It would be great if all people in the world were equal with the same amount of money and possesion. There would be many religions in this World and they will all get along and give respect to one another. I think there would be all sorts of cultural groups and not one huge group of people that are all the same. This World will have co-operation with everyone and everything. There would be competition in it but, winners and losers will be respected.

The Perfect World would have slight changes in it, similar but not excatly the same as the one today. The Perfect World i have came up with is different than the one today because, everyone would be equal to one another and have all the same possesions. There would be no racism or hatred, everyone would get along and respect each other. The similarities between my Perfect World and the World today would be, lots of co-operation and competition. I would also keep all countries and races different from one another just like the World today. (John Lennons song Imagine) - I think John Lennons song is great because there are many things that could come true and make this World a better place. I do think John Lennons World may be possible but, it would take a miracle to make it happen. I agree with the fact he is saying we need peace, i dont agree with how he said there would be no possesions. If nobody had possesion of anything, then how would this World work?. I dont think a World like that would be a good thing because those are some major changes that have to be made. If changes like that were made i personally dont think most people would want to adapt those changes or couldnt adapt those changes.

Somali Pirate sentenced to 33 years in US prison-Current Event [] A Somali man was sentenced to be put in US jail for 33 years. Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse was the only survivor of the crew that had attacked the Maersk Alabama merchant ship. This attacking happened just off the Somali coast in april 2009. Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse was captured by the US Navy, the Navy's sharpshooters had killed three other pirates trying to escape on a lifeboat. In court Muse said he was very sorry for what he did. Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse also said that he had got his hands into something that has more power than he does.

Personally i think that events like this are real and not fake. Pirates are no joke these days, they are for real and they do roam around the seas looking for something to attack. I think its pretty crazy how Pirates are out there in the seas, you would think they are old school news but when you hear stories like this then you will think they are real. I feel bad for people who are boating out in the seas, then all of a sudden get attacked by Pirates. I am still confused why Pirates would want to attack boats, maybe they are looking for something. I liked this article because it is about Pirates and because i have never herd of the place called Somali. I thinks its really interesting because they are putting this man in jail for 33 years, maybe they are trying to cut down the population of Pirates roaming the seas attacking random ships. Great job. This was very entertaining.

Super Bowl: Christina Aguilera fluffs national anthem-Curent Event 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12378790 Christina Aguilera messes up a line during the US national anthem. When she was singing the national anthem in Dallas Texas, she had repeated a line that was already sang earlier in the anthem. When this event was finished, reporters asked her what happened. Christina replied that she was lost in the moment. The national anthem for the Super Bowl is a very important part of the pre game ceremony. When the anthem was messed up there was a huge buzz in the news that started up. I personally think this was embarrassing to watch, a huge percentage of people watching the game felt the same way. I think its pretty bad that u cant remember a line in your national anthem. She messed up bad and apologized right away, but i dont think her apology will be accepted for a while. I believe that if this was a smaller event it would not have been as big of a deal, but considering it was the national anthem for the Super Bowl, its a big deal. I liked this article because it looked interesting and pretty funny considering she messed up the US national anthem. I chose this article because it was about the Super Bowl and because its an interesting sport to watch.
