Joel M Hansen May 16 2011 many people this past weekend have had to evacuate their houses leaving all their valuables and possessions behind. they have been asked to do this because of huge forest fires sweeping over the the towns surrounding land**.** it is now considered a state of emergency, and believed that half the town has been engulfed in flames. the high school**,** library, and main hall have all burned down. The local hospital has also been evacuated because it is in danger of burning down
 * Slave lake fires**


 * I** think this is very sad and tragic. its sad to see peoples homes and lives destroyed because of something like this. I think people should all help out and we can make somewhere for these people to live untill their life's are back to how they were before

The US space shuttle Endeavour has launched on its final mission. Joel M Hansen May 16 2011

on may 16th 2011 if you were anywhere near the Kennedy space center or watching the news around 6o clock you could see 1 space shuttle launch for the last time ever. The Endeviour take off with a trail of flames as it flew away out of our world. the Endeviour is on its way to the international space station. It will make it there on wendsday may 18th. the ship is delivering a 2 billion dollar particle physics experiment. Also among the flight was mark Kellys wife, the politician from Arizona that was shot in the head in January of 2011

I think this would have been a neat thing to see, sadly i missed the live flight but still might be able to see the recap latter on. its kinda cool that its the shuttles last flight ever and that its bringing such expensive stuff up.

DIAMONDS joel m hansen may 5 2011

Many diamonds these days come from Africa, these are called conflict diamonds they are called this because they get the diamonds with slaves and killing people. many companies can win over the public by using certified diamonds that were mined in a safe manner. companies such as Spense, Peoples, do not sell conflict diamonds. Although companies such as tiffany co are taking it a step further and only using diamonds that are mined in an environmentally and socially safe way. its places like this that are making the difference. many more companies should do stuff like this, because 1 its better for everyone and 2 they win over the public.

A year after BP spill, U.S. vows to restore Gulf Coast
Wednesday, April 20, 2011 3:12 PM []

One year affter the huge BP oil spill the U.S.A government agrees that they will do what ever it takes to restore the coast. President Barack Obama vowed to do "whatever is necessary" to restore the U.S. Gulf Coast and to "hold BP and other responsible parties fully accountable for the damage they've done and the painful losses that they've caused." even one year after this incodent oil covered anilmals and tar balls are washing up the coasts. By the time the well was capped 87 days later, 4.9 million barrels of oil had leaked into the golf coast pollutio\ng the watter.

I think this is good that someone is taking resposibility for this misshap. Even if it is the government and not the oil companie someone has to start cleaning the mess up. hopfully they do a good job on this and make it so it is back to normal. this is good and hopfully many people will help out.

__[|Little Keeps Nigeria From Crisis] __ This is saying that many 3 world countries are having problems supplying food to everyone This is caused by Nigerian farms not being big enough or having the supplies to produce enough food for the country.

=**Tsunami survivors rescue photos as a reminder of life before disaster** =

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/04/10/japan.finding.memories/index.html april 11 2011 Joel M Hansen among the derby of homes and buildings in japan is many pictures. lost memories many think they will never get back, but their is hope to getting your lost memories back. Many rescue workers have been looking for photo albums and photos as they search through the ruble. these pictures have been put in make shift galleries where people can walk through and look for pictures of them or their family to get their memories back. people are very happy and will be happier when they find their pictures.

i think this is great and that people should do as much as they can to help others find their memories. this is like a little glimpse of hope to the people who lost everything. i know if i was in a disaster like this having these photos back would be great. i hope many people get there stuff back and no one does anything to damage this idea of helping people find their photos. Joel: I’m happy you chose this to report on. A very interesting and unique story for you to share. Be sure to EDIT all your submissions.

Coalition disagrees over Libyan mission =http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/03/21/libya-attack-tuesday.html= march 22 2011 Joel M Hansen = on march 22 the united states and canada sent fighter jets to d a fly over in Lydia. while they were in flight one f 15 crashed. this plane crashed due to mechanical problems. Their was two pilots in this plane were fine after they ejected they just walked away with minor injured. the pilots were not instructed to fire any rounds for this flight over. Since this the U.S government has said that they do not want to play a key role in lybia. =

I think the U.S government should not be saying they want a key role in this. the reason i think this is because if they didn't want a key role they shouldn't have got involved in the first place. this is typical U.S they always have to get involved until something doesn't go their way then they just want to back down. they should stand their ground and not back down from something the just had to get involved in. hopefully nothing along theis lines happens again.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 33px; line-height: 39px;">**1M foreign workers trapped in Libya: UN** http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/03/07/libya-foreign-workers.html March 7 2011 Up to 1 Million foreign workers are trapped in Libya and are expected to need emergency aid. aid officials have said that it will take $160 million to deal with this crisis. this money would be to last 3 moths which the UN says is how long this crisis will last. the money would be put to the basics to survive such as food,water,security, health care, and shelter. to this date about 200,000 people have fled libya and it is estimated that in the next 3 months another 400,000 will. that will leave about 400,000 workers left in libya.

I think this is tragic and that a lot of money will be put into this. If this where not to happen i think the UN could put this money to a better use. the people in libya need this help to survive. At the same time i think it is nice that their need for help is being recognized and they are getting the help they so desperately need. this doesnt affect me at all so i dont have much of an opinion on this matter. yet i hope they get the help they need

=Jews didn't cause death of Jesus= http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/03/02/pope-book-jesus.html march 02 2011

Pope Benedict XVI trys to tackle the conflict between Christians and Jews in his new book. His new book which is titled Jews didn't cause death of Jesus. In this new book he outlines how Jews actually did not kill Jesus. Many people think this may actually make an impact on Christianity due to the fact that i is the popes word. hopefully this resolves some conflicts against Jews and Cristian's.

I think this might help the conflict between Christians and Jews in the future because it is the popes word. in a perfect world the pope would have not had to wright a book like this. i think people who hate Jews because of the fact that they " killed Jesus Christ" shouldn't hate them. they clearly don't know what they are doing because this is not true. Great job. Very interesting article. Please remember to focus on the “why” of the article. Why is this global news? Edit your work.(8)

A perfect world= i think the perfect world would be kinda like what our world is like now. I only think things like religion, races, and world hunger. If i could i would make everyone in the world believe one religion, this religion would not be something you had to warship every day but only when you need it. my religion would be for sure it would be something that was proven to be right. i would not have so many races but i would have more than one to create diversity. I would have no homosexuals in my perfect world.

The though or death scares most people but for some they see it as a way out. that i would change i would have no depression or suicide in my perfect world. there would also be no Gothic people. i think my perfect world would have a lot less people in it, the city's would be less crowded.

Egypt museum pieces still missing after looting

[]

Some of the most priceless items in the world were stolen during looting. pieces were known to be missing, but since they were stolen 3 of the items were found on the museum floors. Although this is tragic it could have been way worse. many Egyptians defended the museum and its natural history. the people who stole them are not yet identified. the most valuable piece the statue of toto was not stolen.

I think this is tragic because this is history and shouldn't be destroyed. I am a very strong believer that people shouldn't break in or steal stuff. It is to bad that they were stolen. i hope these people get caught and sent to jail for a long time. it is lucky though cause many more things could have been damaged or stolen but they weren't. the sad thing is they will probably get away with it.

CLUB BEATIN' <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">Read more: [] <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">Bouzid Redha, 21, and Dmytro Aref Yev, 21, are in custody due to the out come of a beating at a bar in the Dominican They were at a club were they pushed down and stomped a 19 year old man. the man was a Canadian from Ontario. this fight broke out after one of the two men allegedly spit on a woman the 19 year old was with. after he was beat morrison the 19 year old was rushed to a clinic were he was unable to be revived. the two men could be facing up to 30 years in prison or bail at <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">$26,000.

I think i probably would have done the same thing is another man spit on a woman i was with, morrison was doing the right thing in my mind. i think this is tragic and could have easily been prevented. This just goes to show that Morrison stuck up for a woman. i agree with the fact that he stuck up for her its just to bad he had to be killed over it. I feel bad for morrison and his family over this tragity. Joel, This is a current events report and therefore should follow the guidelines provided on the home page.
