=Shuttle Endeavour blasts off on final flight= //The shuttle blasted off as scheduled at 8:56 a.m. ET Monday from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.// //(Chris O'Meara/Associated Press)// The 16-day mission, known formally as STS-134, is NASA's second last shuttle flight. The shuttle Atlantis will make NASA's final shuttle flight in July and then the entire shuttle fleet will be retired, following three decades of service.Commander Mark Kelly heads the crew set to dock at the International Space Station Wednesday at 6:15 a.m. ET. Also on board Endeavour are fellow NASA astronauts Michael Fincke, Greg Chamitoff, Andrew Feustel and European Space Agency astronaut Roberto Vittori."This mission represents the power of teamwork, commitment and exploration "It is in the DNA of our great country to reach for the stars and explore. Endeavour will deliver to the space station the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), a particle physics detector that scientists hope will help lead to the understanding of the origin of the universe.The shuttle will also deliver spare parts, including some specifically for Dextre, a Canadian Space Agency robot that rides on the end of the space station's Canadarm2 robotic arm. Dextre performs maintenance and repair work outside the station, such as changing batteries and cameras. I think it is to bad that the take shuttle Endeavour blasts off on final flight.I think they should keep doing space exploration and do not stop until they have more shuttles to replace the old ones. How it is going to work if we want to go in the space now, they should continue the space program, I think they should talk about more space missions in the future.I do not think that the U.S. should have let he program come to an end without a backup plan.

(Tokyo Electric Power Co./Associated Press)//Japan's troubled nuclear plant should store blood cells now in case they need them later as treatment for radiation overdose, some Japanese experts suggest.the experts note that the work therewill take years, posing a risk of accidental exposure.hey suggest that the plant's workers have their own blood stem cells banked now. That involves getting injections for several days to get stem cells from the marrow to enter the bloodstream.Then blood would be drawn from one arm,processed to extract the stem cells, and returned into the other arm. That takes several hours. I think the store blood is not that good idled to do when people that give to another is not a good for to transfusion for someone take it to you

I have experienced injustice when I was in high school in Thailand. When we entered Social class there was a statue of a religious god, and we were forced to bow to this God every time we entered or exited the classroom. In Thailand there many different religions and I did not believe the same as my teacher, but because it was her belief I was force to bow to this statue. If you did not observe the teachers wishes you would get punished. This made me feel mad; because I should have the right to believe in whatever God I want. This teacher made all of the students in her class feel powerless because we had no choice but to bow or be punished. If we did not obey the rules we would be told to go out of the class. My brother got hit for not following the rules and trying to stand up for what he believed in. I never did get punished as bad as him but I also did not say what I was really thinking.

** Monday 7 Mar 2011 ** ** CBC new ** ** Winter storm pounds southern Quebec ** Read more []

A Montreal city bus got stuck in the snow as a plow drives by at the corner of Sherbrooke Street and Oxford Street. ((CBC/Steve Rukavina)) A winter storm with heavy snowfall and high winds hammered southern Quebec on Monday morning, creating dangerous conditions on streets and highways. Environment Canada revised its forecast mid-morning to predict between 15 and 20 centimeters of snow fall in the Montreal area and in southern Quebec along the St. Lawrence River Valley.

I choose the article because I thought it was interesting that Quebec had so much snow that schools were closed, roads were closed, and the situation was declared an emergency. And when I look at this news article I think we are lucky that we don't have that much snow in Alberta like Quebec had. Quebec had 30 to 50 centimeters of snow in such a short time that it caused a lot of trouble for the people who live there. There were no buses running so people couldn’t go to work or school. Police had to help doctors get to the hospital so that sick people could get care. I like this article because it made me grateful to live in Alberta and not Quebec.

**L.A. to get 2,700 km of bike lanes**
Los Angeles to building 2,700 kilometers of interconnected bicycle paths. The city doing is doing this because of safety reasons. It is too dangerous for cyclists for cars and bikes to be sharing the same roadway (streets, highways). The City of L.A. is encouraging the people of L.A. to live a more active lifestyle. The city offcials want to see an improvement in the environment and in safety for cyclists, pedestrians, people driving vehicles. Some people like cyclists and envrionmentalists think the increase in bike lanes is a good idea and worth the money. Other people think it is too expensive right now because the city is in debt. I think building more bike lanes is a good idea because it is safer for people, cyclists and people in vehicles, and more people may take up bike riding if there are more lanes, and if is a safer activity for them to do.

I think they think should make the sides of the track higher. Then they have would have a safer track then before. I think it will more help with the person in the luge there would be less chance of someone flipping off the track. The Olympian people need to look at the design of the track as the safety was questioned before the Olynpics even started. when i look at is news i very feel sorry for him. luge training it a sport it not a bad thing to play! no one belived he would die on the luge track. it might mark people who has paly luge track afreid when they seem it happen. i think now when they seem is happnd in olgympic they shoud do sometime to mark it better Luge track, If they dont change they should not have lige track.
