current event feburary 7th

on feburary 6th at the super bowl in Texas. Christina Aguilera made a mistake on the national anthem. she sung out "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?" and i geuss that was not right. she said she got lost in the moment. and made the mistake.

Its not that big of a deal she is probably really embarrassed. I feel bad for her cause that would suck. Im also a bit surprised but im sure she sounded amazing as usual so its a even situation. And people shouldn't be attacking her for it everyone makes mistakes. hopefully everyone will get over it soon. nbd

911 caller shot down after trying to run down police

a man in his 40's called Montreal police from his car. When the police officers showed up on the scene the man tryed to run them down. The police started to shoot at the suspect. he is now in the hospital and 1 officer is in the hospital with non life threatening damage to his legs and 3 other officers are in shock.

I think it is pretty stupid of him to do that, why would anyone try to run down police. First of all they have guns and the are obviously going to catch you. But im sure he had legitiment reason for doing what he did. Also in my opinion I think he learned his lesson. Brittany, This is a current events report and therefore should be EDITED.

[] Son says father killed, buried mother in basement

32 years ago a man killed his wife. his son wich is now 37 years old so he was 5 at the time watched the whole thing happen. And has now finally come out and told people that his dad murdered his mom and he had to help bury his mom in his basement in his house in vancouver. police are now undigging the basement and finding the proof.

I think that this is horrible, that man must be terrifyed or scard from this. Watching his dad kill his own mother. Then having to write a note in crayon saying that he did it. that is just horrible I do hope they catch that man and put him in jail. cause who knows he might have burried some more people in basements. )=

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/03/21/japan-fukushima032111.html japan death toll hits

more then 9,000 people have been killed in the march 11th tragedy anothe 12,000 and something are still missing. and they are geussing that it will double in death tolls.

I think that this is horrible and very sad. I am glad its not happening too us. but its still apart of our world so its pretty depressing. I hope It doesnt affect us to much. But that is ALOOOOOT of people to die.

Enough of Charlie Sheen
http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/things-that-go-pop-blog/2011/04/enough-of-charlie-sheen.html

Charlie sheen got to drunk at a show. he got to drunk he had to do the show the next day. he was rambiling on being rude, and snarky remarks and comments. There was really bad reviews on his appearence.

I personally love charlie sheen, it seems alot of stars are going through this at the moment for example Christina Agulera && Brittany Spears both went through this " phase " in their careers. I just hope he gets over it soon, I wouldnt like seeing him die or anything.

2 : Forget oil, the new global crisis is food, Little Keeps Nigeria From Crisis , Great food crisis

3 : everyone is worried about the oil, when the food crisis should be first priority.

In Nigeria they cant grow enough food so they are going hungry. But they are barely getting by.

There is a huge food crisis. basically the same as the other 2 headlines.

4 : the prices are going up on food. so lots of people are starting to not be able to afford it.

5 : people are dieing from starvation.

6 : no one is doing anything about it

7 : nope

=Kidnapped Italian activist killed by al-Qaeda group= Friday April 15 2011 9:13 am the body of an Italian activist was found hung in a apartment in Gaza a few hours after he was abducted by an Al Qaeda inspired group .police went into the apartment, Vittorio Arrigon was being held by members of a small Islamic group. they had kidnapped him on Thursday April 14th.

I think that things like these are so interesting because they are crazy who in the right mind would hang someone. What is going through those peoples heads. I am sure glad that things like that do not happen here. But I guess things like this happen a lot around the world. They just don't report it all.

 * Men arrested after bank machine found in car**

police officers have taken two men in Montreal into custody after a bank machine was stolen and found in the back of their car. Police recived a call at about 4:30 a.m. that someone had took a bank machine on Jarry Street East. The front door and windows of the bank-machine kiosk had been smashed in. police later found the car abandoned with the bank machine in the back of the vehicle. police are looking for a 3rd suspect.

who in the world would try to steal a bank machine your obviously gonna get caught. I think these two men should go to jail or be charged just for attempting it. Honestly they were probably drinking and/or doing drugs. Also I wonder how they fit it into the car. But anyways I geuss when people need money they will do almost anything for it.

=Diamonds project= = [|diamondsprice.jpg] <- this picture explains alooooot about this. its sad but its true. =

Diamonds are mined in africa, Australia , Asia , North America && South America. Only Europe & Antarctica, mine don't mine diamonds. Australia mines most diamonds. India was one of the first countries to mine diamonds Although they are no longer considered a diamond source .I have not found a jewelry shop that has said they have conflict diamonds. But I'm sure there is some stores that do .I asked on live chat at the blue nile website, they said the lazer etchings are used to identify the diamond.

http://www.un.org/peace/africa/Diamond.html

what is a conflict Diamond ?
Conflict diamonds are diamonds that originate from areas controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and internationally recognized governments, and are used to fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of the Security Council. and a fair trade diamond is a diamond that has been traded fairly.

=1 dead after oil truck hits train, explodes = =http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2011/05/12/calgary-cp-brooks-explosion.html =

may 12 2011

1 person is dead after an oil truck hit a Canadian Pacific Railway train near Brooks and exploded. The accident happened Thursday at 9:40 a.m. at a rural level crossing about 40 kilometres southeast of the city.The truck exploded on contact, sending up huge plumes of smoke which were visible for kilometers. One person was found dead at the scene, RCMP said later Thursday. The name of the person that got killed is not being released at the moment.

I think this is horrible but luckily only one person died, and there was no dangerous things in the train. They said there was no alcohol in the truck but I think the guy was on some kind of drugs. Unless he was committing suicide. actually a few things could have happened. They should do something to block off the train crossings from vehicles.

=IMF chief accused of sex assault by 2nd woman = http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/05/16/strauss-kahn-imf.html

may 16th 2011

A second woman came forward to accuse International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting her. she says she was sexually assaulted by this man 9 years ago. The womens name isTristane Banon and she did not file a suit earlier cause of " pressures ". Strauss-Kahn's wife claims him not to be guilty. He will also claim not guilty until proven so.

I honestly think He did sexually assault this women, because I don't think any women would lie about that , To the public especially .He also sexually assaulted a hotel maid on sunday and she had to be taken into the hospital by police with minor injuries. So if he did it once why wouldn't he do it again ? But on the other side Tristane Banon might have had something against him. But in my opinion I think he did it.
