16/20 Ms. Cox Current Events May 18/11 Thousands flee Slave Lake as wildfires ravage town []
 * be sure to put the issues into your own words! Good reactions.

Thousands of Albertans have been forced to flee the northern town of Slave Lake, when a wildfire went out of control and has burned hundreds of buildings to the ground. The full extent of the devastation is still not known, No deaths and injuries have been recorded so far. Fire crews found themselves battling separate fires to the east and south of Slave Lake. Officials called for an evacuation of Slave Lake after the fire ripped through the town, fuelled by the high winds and dry conditions on the ground. There are about 200 firefighters on route to slave lake to help them control the fire and they say they should be there by Tuesday.

I think this is very serious because if they don’t get the fire under control it can spread to other towns and can even hit Edmonton. I’m glad that they are sending more firefighters from different provinces to help them keep the fire under control. This would be global issue because people that live in slave lake could have family and friends around the world and they could be worried about them getting hurt or even dying. I hope they end up getting the fire under control so that it doesn’t do any more harm. I feel bad for the citizens of Slave Lake because they have to build a new house and that will take a while and they just would like to return home.

Current events May 18/11 Prosecutor requests arrest warrants for Gadhafi, two others []

The chief prosecutor of the international Criminal Court, arrest of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and two relatives Monday. Linking them to attacks on civilians as they struggle to hold power. “The evidence shows that Moammar Gadhafi personally ordered attacks on unarmed Libyan civilians”. “His forces attacked Libyan civilians in their homes and in the public space, shot demonstrators with live ammunition”. Libya did not sign the treaty that created the International Criminal Court and indicated it would ignore the prosecution move.

This is interesting because I knew that there were violence but I didn’t know that Gadhafi was killing unarmed citizens. Like this will affect Libyan big time, people are not going to go there for a vacation because they think there could be killed while they enjoying their vacation. So now Libyan’s tourist economy will go down and they could face a lot of money loss because no one is going to go to Libyan. I hope they get the problem solved and they can go back to normal and that no other country. But I agree with charging him because kill unarmed citizens is not good.

Andrew, Your two current events postings from Monday May 18th are now overdue. As you were given an entire class to complete you currently have a mark of 0 for both.

Current Events April 20/11

[]#
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.

April /11 C urrent Events Japan plant: Radioactive water pumped from reactor [] Workers at Japan's nuclear plant that has been hit by the earthquake on March 11/11, have begun removing highly radioactive water from the basement. Removing 25,000 tonnes of water should give workers access to carry out repair work to vital cooling systems. The plant operator tepco has said it expects to bring the crisis under control by the end of the year. Emergency workers have been unable to enter any of the damaged reactor buildings at the Fukushima Daiichi plant since March 11/11. All the waste water will be kept in a storage building on site. This building has been previously flooded during the tsunami with lightly contaminated water that was later pumped into the ocean to make room for the heavily irradiated water. it is hoped that once the water removal process is complete workers can enter the buildings to try to restore cooling functions at the plants's five spent fuel ponds.

I think there on the right track because before all i heard was that the reactors where over heating and they where saying that there might not ever get the reactors to cool down. Then i heard that they where sending the worlds biggest cement pumpers to pump water on it to cool it down, that helped alot. Now there working on pumping all that water out so that they can replace all the damaged parts so they can resume there normal operations. This would be world news because it was a natural disaster that caused the effects and that when they dumped the water that wasn't contamanated bad can still do damage. It will flow around the ocean possibly killing fish and washing up on shores. all the debrie that has been washed out to the ocean because of the disaster will polute the water.

March 25/11 Current events Three hurt after Houston boy, 6, brings gun to school [] Three young children in the US state of Texas have been injured after a gun was brought to school by a six year old boy when the fire arm accidentally discharged. The gun discharged after falling out of the boys pocket. Three chirldren were injured the fragments. The accident occured in the school cafeteria, the bullet hit the floor and some of the chips and some of the round that was discharged were part of the injuries said the Houston Independent School Distrrict Assistant Police Chief Robert Mock. The children were carried off by stretchers from Ross Elementary School. Their Injuries were not life threatening.

I chose this article because this is serious because everybody is worryed about kids bringing guns to school, and this was just a lucky case because no kids was killed just minor injuries. Now there more than likly to expand the rules of school and making sure checkes to make sure kids are not bringing in guns to school anymore. This would be world news becausesome people around the world could have a nephew or niece that go to this school. Also to inform other schools that another incedent happend and the other schools could adjust there rules to make sure that incedents like this dont happen again.

Current events March 22/11 [] This is interesting because I’m always into military actions, and a F-15E Eagle went down that’s pretty big. An F-15E Eagle warplane went down on March 22/11. Two US airmen have been rescued after ejecting out of their F-15E Eagle just before it crashed during allied operations in eastern Libya. The plane appeared to suffer mechanical failure near the rebel stronghold of Benghazi, the US military said. The plane went down after a third night of US led coalition attacks on Col Muammar. The US military is not giving the exact location of where the plane crashed. The aircraft was based in England and was operating out of Aviano.

This Article is interesting because I’m always into the military. But when a warplane goes down that’s really big. I’m pretty sure the plane didn’t have mechanical problems, I think it was hit by something because the military always lies when a plane goes down and they don’t want the real story revealed. It is also good that the pilots only suffered with only minor injuries. I hope this war ends really quickly and no K.I.A’s happen in this war. Andrew: 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 Events March 2/11 Theresa Riggi admits killing her three children [] A American women living with her family in Scotland has admitted that she killed her children. Theresa Riggi, 47, pleaded guilty to a charge of culpable homicide of her three children, she was just charged with murder. Theresa Riggi stabbed her eight year old twin Austin and Luke and their five year old sister Cecilia at their home in Edinburgh in August last year. Their bodies were discovered following a suspected gas explosion at the townhouse they shared with Riggi. Theresa was also accused of recklessly causing a gas explosion. They were originally from the US, in the Scottish city's Slateford Road.

I think this is just wrong because killing your own kids, you know that something is wrong with you. She probly did it because she just divorced with her husband and she probly didn’t want to do all this stuff, but i really don’t care, you don’t kill your own kids. This would be globalization because there could be family all over the world hearing this. Theresa was charged of culpable homicide, I think she should go to a mental hospital and to be locked up for awhile. When she set of that explosion, she should be locked up forever because all she was trying to do was dispose the bodies.

Notes March 2/11 <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;">Responding to legacies Injustice: a violation of another’s right or of what is right; lack of justice; unfair action or treatment. Throughout history, injustice has been all around people. Examples woman’s right to vote, women’s right to speak, nelson Mandela, Hitler and the Jews, blood diamond, Injustice happened when one person or a group of ppl is treated unfairly by others. Some ppl are the victims of justice others cause justice, some are witness to the problem taking place, and still others have to deal with the conceguenes of injustice as time goes by.

Q can ones person acting alone, fix the social, economic, and political problems that result from the legacies of imperialism. When injustice is not addressed, it can lead to bigger problems that affect hundreds and thousands of ppl problems such as increased suicide rates, homelessness, and violence. Poverty, unrest, protests, even welfare. Victims of injustice are marginalized and voiceless. They depend on ppl to help them resolve their issues.

Current events March 2/11 __**2 killed in Germany airport shooting**__ []

Two people were shot and killed Wednesday March 2/11. The incident involving a U.S. military bus at Frankfurt Airport in Germany. One person is severely wounded and two are wounded. It's believed that they have a young Kosovo national in custody. The troops that were killed are U.S. Air Force airmen from Lakenheath base in the United Kingdom. They also say that the bus driver was also killed and they don't know what nationality he was, German or American. President Obama said that he was “saddened and outraged and we will spare no effort in learning how this outrageous attack took place”.

I think this is a big issue because U.S. air force pilots were killed and it could get ugly if this keeps happening. I agree with President Barack Obama because it is sanding that soldiers were killed. Also outrages because there were Germany police standing everywhere and that they didn’t see it all or stopped it. If this were to happen again the U.S. military could go over there and cause some big trouble because fellow troops are being killed because of the lack of security that is there. I heard that the airport did tighten up there security, but it just wasn’t enough. Great job. Very interesting article. Please remember to focus on the “why” of the article. Why did this happen? And why is it world news? Be careful of your verb tense as you tend to use slip back and forth and it affects the meaning of your article. (7)

The Perfect World Feb 28 /10 ==== The perfect World would have just one religion, Christianity, which will cut down all the wars that are going one. Then people can choose if they want to go to church is they want to or not. There would be no homosexuals in the world because I think that’s just wrong, and same for gothic people it is wrong too. Also everybody would get treated the same so then one person doesn’t get the same heath care as other people. Everybody would be forced through schools so then there wouldn’t be any homeless people or poor people. For family sizes it would be reduced to maximum of 3 people so then it would the population would be controlled, then for citys the maximum population would have to be 10 million people so then we wouldn’t have out rages citys. Then for the law there would be allot of police officers to control the world, and instead of using the normal ammunition it would be rubber bullets to keep the deaths down. For drugs like cocaine, marijuana it would be very legal and if caught with it, you can be sent to jail for a long time. For making it or growing it you might as well be shot because in the perfect world there will not be any drugs. For firearms and ammunition will be very hard to get. You would have to take a bunch of test to apply for a rifle. There would be a limit to 1 fire arm per person and for ammunition will be restricted to how much you can buy per year. If caught shooting somebody you will be sent to jail for a long time, also you will be banned from buying anymore firearms. For sports there wouldn’t be any changes really, because people like different things than others to then they need something to do.

Feb 16/11 Current Events Riot breacks out in libyan city of Benghazi [] Who: Hundreds of people clashed with police What: Riots in Benghazi, Libyan Where: Benghazi, Libyan When: Feb 16/10 How: protesters armed with stones and petrol bombs Why: protesters are angry about the arrest of human rights campaigner and demanded his release.

In Benghazi, Libyan riots started to breakout. Hundreds of people clashed with police overnight. Protesters where armed with stones and petrol bombs. protesters are angry about the arrest of human rights canpaigner and demand his release. Protests mount against the rule of Col.

I think this is just a monkey see monkey do issue because Eygts PM was incontroll for so long that the people wanted him out. Now in libyan, people want Moammar gadhafi out because hes been in charge for 40 years. For the police i dont think they have to be so agreasive towards the protesters. I think all they have to do is set up a primeter of trucks or barbed wire. There have been 2 killed and 2 injured, were in Egypt within 3 weeks 365 people have died.

Feb 10/11 Current events =Crosby remains confident he'll play again this season= [] Who:Sidney Crosby What: Crosby remaind confident he'll play again this season. Where: Pistburgh, Pensilvania How: He sufffered a hit in the winter classic game while playing the Washington Capitals When: Feb/11 Sidney Crosby ramainds confident thet he will play this season. After he suffered a hit to the head by David Steckel, Washington capitals, when Pistburgh Penguins and the Washington capitals where playing in the winter classic. That hit was a dirty hit, but it was behind the play so then no reff saw it. Sidney Crosby didn't see the guy coming so he couldn't prepare for it. He has been out since that game with a concusion.Today, Feb 10/11, was the first time he talked since Jan 25/11 at Pistburgh, Pensilsania.

I chose this article because Sidney Crosby is a great player. He was enjoyable to watch him play in the olyimpics, where he scored the golden goal. He had the most goals through out all of the players in the N.H.L. When he got injured, it was a dirty hit, witch was to the head in the winter classic. Ever since hes been in a warm location with his parents, then he said he was confident that he will return. I am happy he is returning because he is the best hockey player in the N.H.L.

Andrew: This is a great summary but your reaction to this article is a little superficial. Next time try choosing an article with more substance in order to have a stronger reaction. Please focus on articles of world importance. Good start! (8)
