sounds like a book i would never read. (and thats say'n someth'n)

Doubts Raised on Book’s Tale of Atom Bomb
By: William J. Broad
Published: February 20, 2010
A new book about the atomic destruction of Hiroshima has won critical acclaim with its heartbreaking portrayals of the bomb’s survivors and is set to be made into a movie by James Cameron.

My Review
“The Last Train from Hiroshima” by Henry Holt is what this article is talking about. They say it claims to reveal a secret accident with the atom bomb that killed one American and irradiated others and greatly reduced the weapon’s destructive power.  I want to know where they got that information. other than that................... i think i don't want to know anything else. if your interested, then i hope you read that book. (and don't tell me about it 'cuz it's things like that that put me to sleep. i'm not big in real life can't ya tell?)

Officials See Slander in Uzbekistan
by: Ellen Barry
Article was published: February 10, 2010

photo of an Uzbekistan boy was among those by Umida Akhmedova that prosecutors said intentionally showed village life in an unflattering light.

MY REVIEW

I found that government officials in the boy's own country said the picture was depressing. That striked to me as odd. Does the government not know that there country is getting help from other countries? If they do, then why do they want foreigners, like us, to think that they are ok? That people die of hunger every day and they are the ones who can decrease the starvation rate? The government can also build homeless shelters so citizens who have nothing can at least have a place to sleep.

Some other things I found worth while to share with you are the following: by showing people with sour expressions or bowed heads, children in ragged clothing, old people begging for change or other images so dreary that, (according to a panel of experts convened by the prosecutors) a foreigner unfamiliar with Uzbekistan will conclude that this is a country where people live in the middle ages. Now i don't know about you, but i don't think thats fair.

yitta schwartz

God said multiply, and did she ever
By: Joseph Berger
Published: February 19, 2010
The casket of Yitta Schwartz after her death last month at age 93 in Kiryas Joel, N.Y. she left perhaps 2,000 descendants. (15 children, more than 200 grandchildren, and so many great- and great- great- grandchildren that, by her family’s count, she could claim 2,000 living descendants.)

My review
First of all, how old was she when started having kids if she has great- great- grandkids? Let’s see, if was 93 when she died………… then (and this is just math and guessing so it might not be right) Yitta would have to be maybe 12 or 13. But from reading on I have found that Yitta’s oldest child is a 75-year-old daughter and her youngest is a great- great- grandchild who was born on February 15. Second of all, the article said she was a survivor of the holocaust! In reading this article about a dead girl, I have found respect for Yitta. Yitta is a member of the Satmar Hasidic sect and she stood by to her religion very closely.

top world news

I have recently  become very curious about whats happing in Japan. I have heard some really crazy things like when Japan had that earthquake it knocked the earth off its axis an inch................. or something like that. I also heard that Japan won't help America anymore. (what I mean by that is Japan won't give us things like paper or toys.) so I went online to The New York Times to find out the truth. It said nothing about earth being knocked off it's axis, but it did say that 11,600 people are officially dead and more than 16,000 are listed as missing. The New York Times also said that Japan estimates that the final toll for the dead should be around 20,000, and more than 190,000 remain in temporary housing. I also found out that Japan will still export/import to the U.S. so we don't have to worry about that. I feel really sad for the people in Japan. They first had a 9.0 (according to the Richter scale) earthquake, then they had a huge tsunami, and after that was over, they found out that a nuclear power plant had leaked. So now the Japanese people have radiation to worry about besides how to feed 190,000 + people.
 Japan's earthquake was recorded to be the biggest earthquake in the world. Also according to The New York Times Japan has the whole world helping them in their time of need. But, like all happy story's, this story has a sad point. The radiation expanded to 25 miles from the  Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Japan is thinking of expanding the evacuation zone and whether the island needs to be abandoned. (I think this sounds reasonable, right?)
I feel really bad for Japan and now that I know what is going on, I feel like it's just the end of the world for Japan. The Red Cross, The Church of Jesus Christ, America, Europe, and the rest of Asia are some of the people who are helping poor Japan. So at least their getting some help while they are in this crisis.
last year, my family & i did this emergency prepareness thing. we had to pretend that we had been hit by a huge earthquake and that the power went out and the tap water was not safe to drink. we had to use our food storage and our water storage. it only lasted for a week, but i kinda know what Japan whent through.

anime that resembles me.

 i like this picture because it looks like me and my friends. i also like this one because it's Gothic and emo. i think it resembles that no matter how hard life can be, your friends will still be there to listen.
 i like this one because it's an angel. she looks like she's sad and alone. thats how i feel most of the time. so i understand how she feels.
 i like this one because you can't see the guy's face. so i can imagine who it is. there is also the fact that they (the couple) look happy to be together. (at least the girl dose)
 i like this one not only because she looks like me, but because she looks like a dreamer. someone who can't help it. someone who secretly has a child like innocence.
 i like this one because it shows individual acceptance. it shows that she dose not care about what anyone thinks of her.
 ok, this one is cute and funny. it's also kinda sad. this one is showing a yellow person(?) who dose not understand that its raining. it thinks the ............ well, just look at the picture.
 i like this one because its the original. the one i was looking for has these words written on it: you left me, standing in the rain, waiting for you, but you never came, do you still care about me, or are you lying to me again? good huh? i thought so too.
i like this one because it's ........................ this is the one and ONLY time i don't have a reason. i just like it.
so thats it. those are the anime pictures that people say resemble me. please state your opinion on your favorite picture. (I'm taking vote)

why school for teens should be at night.

i have many reasons why school should be at night, #1 i'm tiered and i want to go to bed.
no that's not the real reason although it's true. real #1 is : teens DON'T DO MORNINGS!!!!!!!!!! we stay up all night and sleep all day. we are real lazy and waking up is a HUGE chore or drag (for the "older" folks.)
#2 is : no one cares about school. unfortuanly we have to have school, why not delay it just a bit.........like mabye ......8/9:50. besides the only ones that care about school are nerds who don't have a life. like my journalism teacher. he is a comic book collecter.he takes our class just a wee bit serouis. #3 is : teens are stupid even if we go to school. school at night would have our full attention. and some CELLPHONE SERVICE would be nice too.
