ReplyDeleteMAYO FACILITY IN WEST VALLEY TO STOP TAKING MEDICARE PAYMENTS by Sara Todd p1
ReplyDeleteThere is a Mayo hospital in the west valley that is no longer taking Medicare payments. This could start a trend in the healthcare industry ; and it won't be a good trend. The Mayo facility that will be affected is called " Arrowhead Family Medicine." This policy will go into effect on January 1st, 2010. This will affect about 3,000 senior citizens. They will try this as an experiment for two years. Then they will evaluate and reassess the program, to see how it is working. I hope they find out it doesn't work, because senior citizens need to have good healthcare.
PIG FARMERS FIGHT THE TERM 'SWINE' FLU by Joey House
ReplyDeletePig farmers want to stop use of the term swine flu. People think that pork and ham products will make them sick. The result is 1.5 billion dollars lost in the industry. Farmers are closing down because of loss of business in pork. Costs of necessities for pigs are rising. I think they should stop using the term swine flu so pork can recover from the past year.
SWINE FLU by Sophia Barr
ReplyDeleteThe word ''Swine" in ''Swine Flu'' doesn't mean that you could get it from a pig or from eating pork. The Federal Centers for Disease and Prevention has stated that the disease is IMPOSSIBLE to get from eating pork or standing near a pig. According to the National Pork Producers Council the pork industry has lost about $1.5 billion since the virus was first reported in April. The H1N1 has claimed about 4,000 lives this year in the U.S. In Egypt the government killed 300,000 pigs in the mistaken belief that the animals spread the disease. To help yourself stay healthy you should wash your hands often and not share food or drinks.
TEENS ABUSING PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
ReplyDeleteRichard Rosky was having a Q & A about how teens were abusing drugs. He told us that PRESCRIPTION drug abuse was growing unbelievably fast among teens in Arizona. He also said that on the second day confrence, attendees will talk about their parents that had deceased from the past because they had abused prescription drugs. As Richard Rosky explained to parents that they should watch for dramatic changes in teens, which should be abuse of drugs.
I chose this article because it seems to be a big problem already. Also I think this could change lives of many people including friends and family.
DEBBIE JOHNSTONE
ReplyDeleteDebbie Johnstone communicates with animals also known as animal whisperer. She became fond of animals when she was young, Debbie collected animals. She was under the impression all people could hear animals the way she did. She currently works with clients across the country.
Her practice name is "Listen 2 Animals."Johnstone
uses her senses to read the animals minds. I choose this article because, I love animals and I
they should have as much attentions as we do. I love this article and am glad Debbie is helping them.
Local Women Changes Traffic Laws
ReplyDeleteFarell Friedland a local women wants to change traffic laws. Friedland thinks that accidents should be prevented. She thinks pedestrians shouldn't be called civil (a criminal) if an accident happens. She said, " If you're going above the speed limit and kill two people that's not an accident!" While fighting to change traffic laws her parents died from being ran over. I think the traffic laws should be changed
CHIMP ATTACK by Jacob
ReplyDeleteIt was a tragic day in the USA. A women was attacked by a chimpanzee. The chimp was going crazy. A woman was at her house when her friend called and said "can you help me my chimp is out of its cage." She went over to help her friend. But when she got there the chimp went crazy and cut her with knives, threw pots and pans at her, and made dressers fall on her. She was deformed. I think she shouldn't have gone over to her friends house to help and she wouldn't be in the mess.

ReplyDeleteThere are so many interesting things about scottland. They have a lochness monster. Some old ruins of castles and war grounds. They have tours on boats. My tour guide said if you dont see the monster it is watching tv or its sleeping. I think scottland has lot of mysterious things waiting.
US TRIES NEW TACTIC AGAINST TALIBAN by Nicolas Gordon
ReplyDeleteThe U.S Armed Forces, are trying a new strategy to achieve peace in Afghanistan, with the fighters, also know as the Taliban Insurgents.The plan is to reach out to the Insurgents from the Taliban, by giving them protection and jobs,to stop fighting. President Obama signed a bill that made funds available for this and a jobs program. This plan will go hand-and-hand with the presidents decision to send 30,000 new troops to the war Afghanistan war. I think this is a better decision than fighting because you have to think about how it effects the people of Afghanistan. War leads to more killing and retaliation by both sides. I hope this war concludes soon.
Drug Smuggling
ReplyDeleteby Riley 5C
Drug smuggling is becoming a major problem in Mexico and U.S.A. The United States have developed a program that allows trucking companys quick passage across the border. This has encouraged drug smuggling gangs to kill or bribe truck drivers so they can smuggle their drugs into the U.S.A. Of the few trucks that are checked, police have found amazing amounts of drugs, the majority being marijuana. I think this program is dangerous to the USA because it could allow the entire gang to get into the United States. I feel very strongly that this program should be stopped immediately.
Has Over Parenting Gotten Way Out of Control? by, Darwin
ReplyDeleteOver parenting has gotten way out of control in the past generation.Parents have bought nacrobiotic cupcakes and hypoallergenic socks, hired tutors to correct a five year-olds "pencil holding defieiency," and took down the swing set after the second skinned knee, stores began selling locks for cabinets. They also sold kinder locks (which is basically a leash.)They also sold baby knee pads, like they don't already come pre-padded. The mayor of Connecticut town had to cut down three hickory trees on one block because a grandmother was afraid a stray nut might fall into her swimming pool where her nut allergic grandson swam.I think it is crazy to be that protective to any kid, you should let them have some freedom.
Woman That Lost Her Beloved Dog In Her Truck
ReplyDeleteThis article is about a girl that loses her dog in a terrifying way.One day a woman was running into Cosco to get a few things and when she came out her heart was broken into a million pieces.Her truck was stolen with her beloved dog Miss Cydney inside.Her dog was found one block away running across the road.Her neighbor found it and brought it back to her.If that happened to me I would feel the same way.

ReplyDeletehuge mercury clean up

TEMPLE TURMOIL by Samuel Gerkin P2
ReplyDeleteMany are argueing over whether or not a Morman temple will be built in North Phoenix. Critics of a Morman temple want to overturn the City Council decision to allow the temple. Supporters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints agreed with the decision. The church is now able to add ten feet to the temple, which is expected to begin by 2011. Opponents believe city leaders ignored their concerns. I think people should be allowed to vote on this.

ReplyDeleteKATIE PIPER DRASTIC CHANGE BY: LAUREN WELCH
ReplyDeleteRecently in the UK something terrible happened.A year and a half ago a drastic event changed Katie Pipers life.Katie Piper was a beautiful model until one day her face was almost destroyed. It all started when her boyfriend Daniel Lynch called her and said "I have a present for you that will change your life forever." All of a sudden while walking down a street Daniel threw a cup of sulfiric acid a her face. Katie says" I could feel my face melting off. I thought my face was on fire."Katie has under gone over 30 surgeries and has to wear a mask 23 hours a day so that her face will not fall off. I thought this was a terrible event and Katie should press charges.
In Pasadena,California,the Sun Devils satarted not to do so well.They decided to change their playing.They think that they will not have enough time so,now,sadly the Sun Devils will not be one of the 68 teams playing in a bowl game this season.The Sun Devils will now suffer another losing streak.The last time anything like this occured was 1946-1947.I think that if they had tried hard enough to change their playing,they probably would be in the bowl game this season.But they decided not to go through with it.Hopefully,the Sun Devils will have a better season,next season!
ReplyDeleteNew Records Since 2006

Things to do. By Kaylyn Keith
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot fabulous things to do in Arizona. Here are some things to do with your family. My first idea is to go to the Sugar Bowl. The Sugar Bowl has been open in Scottsdale since 1958! They have old fashioned food and ice cream treats. My second pick is a Hot Air Balloon ride. The desert is one of the best hot air ballooning places. Be adventurous try something daring! Want to keep your feet on the ground? Then take a train ride on the Grand Canyon Railway. The train will take you to one of the seven wonders of the world. Inside the train is set up like the old west. These are all great things to do, what do you want to try? I chose this because I thought it will give people something to do.

I chose this article cause i thought it was a big deal
PORK PRODUCERS FIGHT VS. USE OF 'SWINE FLU'
ReplyDeletePork producers are having a tough time this year. Because of the use swine flu there has been a big loss of money in the pork industry. Twenty-six countries temporarily banned the export from north America. Even though cooked and living pig is perfectly safe people were not buying it. Did you know that the true swine flu is completely harmless to the human body.It's the combinations of the swine flu, the bird flu and the regular flu that makes it bad for you. I agree with pork producers that pork is perfectly safe for you and that people should call it H1N1.

U.S Charges Chicago Man in Mumbai by: Abigail Franco
ReplyDeleteChicago-A Chicago man previously accused of plotting to attack a Danish newspaper. He was charged with scouting targets for a militant Pakistani group for the attack on Mumbai attack that killed166 people. Prosecuters accused David Headly of performing surveillance for the militant group,Lashkar-e-Taiba,which is blamed for the Mumbai rampage. Among those killed were six Americans. I thought it was interesting how David Headly was accused for the attack that killed 166 people.

T-SHIRT SNUGGIES By:shira p.1
ReplyDeleteRecentely a woman named Angela Johnson created a t-shirt snuggie . The t-shirt snuggie is more than just a regular snuggie ,it has colorful different patterns and designs. The original snuggie was more about function than form. Now you can keep warm and look cool with the leopard,zebra,and camel prints. Some people think it looks very foolish . But almost nobody cares about appearance. I think the t-shirt snuggie is a knew way to be comfortable,and fashionable
NEW RING AROUND SATURN Andrew Wimmer P1
ReplyDeleteAstronomers recently found another ring around saturn. The ring streaches about15 million miles across and 22 million miles across its diameter.Saturn's new ring is the biggest known in the solar system. The ring was found in February. The astronomers did not find it using a normal telascope, instead they found it using NASA;s spitzer space telascope. The spitzer detectsn infrared energy not light. The ring is made of millions and billions of tiny rock. Astronomers susppect that the new ring gets its material from Saturn's outer moon Phoebe. The discovery of the ring could explain other mysteries surrounding Saturn and its many moons.
I think it is realy cool but i am still puzzled by the spitzer telascope and how it works!!
JOHN MCCAINS ONE-TIME HOME HEADS TO AUCTION
ReplyDeleteBy Adam Krueger
John McCains one-time home heads to auction. John McCains former phoenix home and many furnishings and other items will go to sale. It is the second auction attempt in over a year. The property features a thirteen bedroom main house, two guest houses, a pool and a spa, and a seven car air-conditioned garage. Last year it was unable to sell for seven million. This year it will be sold at the highest bid above 5.9 million.this was in the newspaper on Thursday December 3, 2009. Ithink this house should sell for a lower price because it didn't sell for seven million last year.
DID LOSING IN 2006 MAKE J.D. HAYWORTH A WINNER? By: Sofia S. P.1
ReplyDeleteLosing his place in the U.S. Congress was the best chance J.D. Hayworth had for advancing in political career. If J.D. hadn't been beat and defeated by Harry Mitchell in 2006, he would not have found a job for a local talk radio. And without a three hour weekday radio program to make people listen to him and trash his hopes, he would not have been neck to neck with the United States Senator, John McCain. But he is. I think that this is a great opportunity for Hayworth to get up on higher levels.

EARTH COULD PLUNGE INTO ANOTHER ICE AGE SUDDENLY!
ReplyDeleteNOAH A. P1
In the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" the world goes into a ice age in a few weeks.Science proves that it could happen again. In the "Big Freeze" The ice age happend in a few months. Global Warming could result in melting the greenland ice cap resulting in a disaster. The whole northern hemisphere could freeze in just a few weeks. People could not stop it.
I chose this article because it looked very informative. My opinion is that it could end the human race. Its pretty much like Adapt or die.
Gordon To Test Defense
ReplyDeleteSuns have not allowed an opponent to score 30 points or more this season. Detroits guard Ben Gordon who visited US Airways center and in his past six times he has averaged 30 points or more. I think Suns should take more time and see how many points and fouls each player has.
U.s. border protection has found more than 100 pounds of marijuana in the bumpers and doors of a car! Officers were screening travelers on thanksgiving day when a 22 year old man from Sonora,Mexico had been driving making the officers suspicious.

Animal Whisperer
ReplyDeleteDebbie Johnstone is an animal whisperer. She speaks with animals that are frighten of people. What people did to animals was cruel. Johnstone wants to help the animals. Johnstone relies on her senses of sight, hearing, smell, andtaste to read the animals thoughts. She is able to connect with turkeys, cats, dogs, horses, iguanas, turtles,even humans. I think that people should be less cruel to animals.
DAVID ORTIZ by Colin King
ReplyDeleteRecently David Ortiz tested positive for a banned substance. Ortiz is the DH for the Boston Red Sox. He took this substance during the 2003 season. the Red Sox are now looking for a new DH. But Ortiz also plays excellent defense. I think that anybody who used a banned substance should be suspended for the rest of the season.
SWINE FLU by Michael Piekarz
ReplyDeleteSwine Flu was started recently in Mexico then went all around the world. Lots of scientists believe that H1N1 was started in WW1 but probably not from pigs. Already U.S. soldiers at home as well as in Iraq and Afghanistan have bin struck with H1N1, what's more, the Iraq government has voiced concerns that, along with the seeds for peace,our may be sowing a pandemic. Regular Flu shots will not cure you, you have to get a vaccine.
I think everyone should get a vaccine so there isn't so much H1N1.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
ReplyDeleteAt 12/10/09 the 10-1 Vikings face - off against the 7-4 Cardinals. The Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner is expected to play as last week, it doesn't matter Warner or Leinart the Cardinals need to stop the Vikings pass rush. The rush game well be good against rookie ''Beanie'' Wells and Tim Hightower, screens and middle runs are expected. Also Warner should have some pass game with L. Fitzgerald , A. Boldin , and B. Breaston. The Vikings offense is different. With quarterback Brett Farve and Pro Bowl Adrian Peterson the Vikings may have some tricks. The Vikings

SHOOTING SUSPECT KILLED 13 PEOPLE
ReplyDeleteA major Nidal Hanson at fort hood was horribly enraged and killed 13 helpless people. He is waiting in hospital confinement for his court-martial because of his outrage. Hanson would have killed more if he had not been stopped by the forts local police in a building where troops go before they are deployed. I think this is utterly horrible and am disgusted that anyone would think of doing this.

ReplyDeleteby: indigo elmore
Barack Obama had a decision to make. He could either send 3o,ooo men and women to Afghanistan or he wouldn't. He did the research and decided he would. He needs them soon. He needs them before he starts the pullout in 2011 to bring the troops home. US officials said that Obama wants them all out before January 2013. I belive that's a good idea for Barak Obama to start the pullout. :)

ANIMALS IN DANGER BY:MADELINE SCHULLER
ReplyDeleteMost animals are loosing their habitats. Some are dissapearing. A group called the I.U.C.N realeased a yeerly RED LIST. This list names the animals that have the greatest risk of dying out. Pollution is part of the problem. The trees are dying and too many animas are over populating their habitats. The more animals, the mor animals die. My sollution to this problem is to gather some friends, buy some plants that are needed. Plant them in the natural habitats of the animal so they can live off those plants.
Barack Obama said that on Tuesday he will send 30,000 troops to Afghanistan.He said"Huge challenges remain" "Afghanistan has not lost but for several years it has moved backwards."July 2011 he will bring soldiers back after 10 years of battle.For three months they will review a war strategy.I think they should end the war sooner.

THE THREE YEAR SOLUTION by Alyssa Krehbiel
ReplyDeleteIn Hartwick college,they give well prepared students an offer:to earn your undergraduate degree in three years instead of four.A number of other college are making this same offer to students who are anxious to get a degree. You could also save a lot of money,you would save about $43,000! That is about one years tuition and fees. But sometimes the bosses and districts worry about if this program will fail."Nothing is more vulnerable then entrenched success,"says one of them.But so far, so good.I am positive that 5this will work.

ReplyDeleterecently a huge blizzard hit Flagstaff Arizona. This was the first blizzard to hit Flagstaff in over ten years! It was dropping seven inches of snow a day and the blizzard lasted three days. Over the whole storm they got over twenty four inches of snow. As of Sunday night school is not canceled. Visibility is under half a mile. i think its great we are having snow but I hope people in Flagstaff are very careful.
Alot of smoking is going on in the U.S Army.Soldiers from the U.S Army are currently dying.Two reasons they are dying is because the soldiers around them are creating smoke clouds.The second reason is because the soldiers that are smoking are getting black lungs.What I think they should do about the smoking problem is they should get cameras and put them in the halls so when they see someone smoke they can do something about it.Stay healthy and make a better choice then the soldiers that smoke.
ReplyDeleteDRUG ADDICTION by Alyssa Baca
ReplyDeleteDrug addiction is horrible and Jeanne Segal Ph.D wants to do something about drugs so it can stop. Drugs can effect your life forever. You can hurt your liver, kidney, skin, and lungs. You can become very dizzy, and there can be trauma to your head like losing brain cells. When your very young and do drugs you can die.

MILEY CYRUS'S TOUR BUS CRASH by: Natalie Goldman
ReplyDeleteOn the 20th of November there was a 911 call reporting a tour bus flipping over. Not only was it a tour bus but Miley Cyrus's tour bus. But Miley wasn't on the bus it was carring their lighting crew. The crash was on interstate 85 highway in Virginia. Sadly the driver Walter Douglas was killed of a heart attack. Happily only one was injured. He was teated at a local hospital. The rest of them escaped through a window that was broken. I for am very happy that not many people were injured.
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
ReplyDeleteAt 12/10/09 the 10-1 Vikings face - off against the 7-4 Cardinals. The Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner is expected to play as last week, it doesn't matter Warner or Leinart the Cardinals need to stop the Vikings pass rush. The rush game well be good against rookie ''Beanie'' Wells and Tim Hightower, screens and middle runs are expected. Also Warner should have some pass game with L. Fitzgerald , A. Boldin , and B. Breaston. The Vikings offense is different. With quarterback Brett Farve and Pro Bowl Adrian Peterson the Vikings may have some tricks. The Vikings need to stop pass rush with Darnell Docket to pass to Pro Bowl Visan Shiancoe. Bottom line the prediction says th Vikings win 27-24. But I think the Cardinals will take it home 23-14. With Pro Bowl L. Fizgerald,K. Warner,D.Docket and A.Boldin but the Vikings might have some tricks with Farve,Peterson and Shiancoe it should be a good game. Fortunately the Cardinals won 30-17 now they have a division lead in the play offs. Hopefully the Super Bowl!
WHY SOME AMPHIBIANS ARE BECOMING EXTINCT By : Amanda Wiggins
ReplyDeleteAccording to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature,
( IUCN ) 17,291 types of plants and animals are becoming extinct. Disappearing habitats is one huge reason for their loses. The Rabb's limed- tree frog is one of the many amphibians that are coming really close to becoming extinct, because of a deadly fungus that threatens their lives. The news isn't all bad though, some of the species have recovered thanks to conversation efforts. I think that is a good thing because no animal or creature deserves to die.
THE NEWS ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE by Isela
ReplyDeleteThere are big news about Michaele and Tareq Salahi of Hume Va, that they crashed president Obama's Thanksgiving party. Michaele and Tareq entered the White house without an invitation, and the security thought that they were going to crash the presidents party. Right after Thanksgiving the news were running like crazy! I think they should put more security in the White house.
Give the gift of your time and talent by; Kendra Wardon p.3
ReplyDeleteNearly 20 seniors are in need of a volunteer to help them with their day-to-day life. Dottie Brission, a legally blind senior is always excited when volunteer Rose Marshall comes to help her out. Some volunteers work as little as 3 hours but you they can work as long as they want! The volunteers do any thing from buying groceries to paying bills! I am very happy people are taking time out of their life to help others in need.
Trek to the South Pole
ReplyDeleteTodd Carmicheal walked by himself to the south pole. The trek was 700 miles long and all he had with him was a 260 pound sled full of supplies. He had to pull it because an animal would of died of cold. The trek took 39 days and when he got to the arctic station he had about 24 hours to live because his lungs were swelling with frostbite. He was the first American ever to complete this feat. I think that this story is amazing because he had to be very brave to try, because many other people before him had tried but died trying.

ReplyDeleteCATS ARE IN NEED OF ADOPTION By:Sage Witt
ReplyDeleteThe cats at the humane society are overflowing the walls. It's becoming a major problem. The article shares that it will be giving cats away. Now that was a few weeks ago so their not giving cats away for free anymore. But I think you should still adopt the cats even if their not free. Some people are just leaving cats when they move, assuming that they are an outdoor cat. Most of them end up at an animal shelter. I chose this article because I really feel sorry for cats, and I love animals. What if you got left on the streets and some weird people found you and you were scared out of your mind? What would you feel like if you were a cat and every body else cared about dogs, turtles, or some other animal? The point is, what would you feel like if you were not being adopted and you might die right there in the same place? What would you feel like? . . . . .
AMERICAN FOOD PROBLEMS
ReplyDeletePigs all get raised together. They have their tails chopped off so they don't get sick. Then they eat corn that has a lot of fertilizer on it, then the piggies eat it. At 5 months of age the pigs are killed and turned into bacon or sausage. This is why people become addicted to meat and become fat. This is a very bad problem! I chose this article because a lot of meat is very bad for people and sad for pigs!!!!!
Artifacts Saved With Bombing By Eleanor Faussane
ReplyDeleteAt a place called Lago Seco, millions of artifacts lay. Then, in the amiable silence, a bomb was dropped. The government does this to protect the artifacts from off-roaders, hikers, and bandits. The archeologists tell them if it's safe to drop an explosive. If there is anything in the way, the mission is canceled. I couldn't find why they do this exactly, but my guess is they drop the bombs to destroy the terrain. Bombs have saved this place.
