Today in the union tribune I read an article about the new iPhone that’s coming out July 11. The new phone runs on third-generation wireless networks that deliver internet content at least two times faster then the old iPhone. An 8-gigabyte version will sell for $199 half the current price. A 16 gigabyte model will cost $299. Service plans start at $39.99 per month plus $30 for unlimited data. The company plans to make up the diffrence in revenue with sales volume and with subsidies that wireless carriers will now pay for the right to carry the gadget.
Wassup
The padres in a stunning succession is starting to come back in wins over there division. With a 5 game winning streak the padres have moved one spot up in there division. The D-backs are still leading in there division over the padres. The CONSEQUENCE for the padres starting out so let is that they might not have a chance to come back and win there division. This FEATURE of the padres has been there tradition since the first became a team. The team starts slow and finish in first. There chance of going to World Series is slim. The team needs to pick up there pieces and start to play a better game so they can win the bigger games that can hel them. The teams that they beat were not in there in there division so it looks like they cant beat the teams in the there division. I think that the padres should play like the have everything to lose and everything to gain.
The Aspect of that they might not be able to win in the future if they keep starting out late.
The Los Angeles Lakers was defeated by the Boston Celtics. The CONSEQUENCE of them losing that game is they have to play another game and already behind in the series. The Lakers is trailing the series 0-2 and if Boston to pull off two more victories, then its over. My favorite ASPECT of the game is when it’s a close game and players really play hard. I like Paul Pierce and thing of his best FEATURE is his three point shot. Kobe states that the referees where calling bad fouls which cost them to lose the game. Tonight will be game three of the series in Los Angeles and I already expect it to be a good and close game.
Residents warned to keep eye out for rattlesnakes.
The article I read today was aboutCounty residents should be on the lookout for rattlesnakes, which are biting more often and with more toxic venom than in years past, a UCSD poison expert said. The annual rate of bites has risen 5 percent to 6 percent in recent years. Dr. Richard Clark, director of the division of medical toxicology at UCSD said we really don’t know why the venom is becoming increasingly potent.
My opinion about this article is snakes are going to be biting and its something you can not stop, and one thing is for to just stay away from them.
Today in the union tribune, I read that Crude prices rebounded Tuesday on renewed concern about global demand, particularly in earthquake-ravaged China, while gasoline reached another record high average above $4 a gallon. Light, sweet crude for July delivery rose $1.28 to $135.63 a barrel in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Monday's $4 price drop was a slight backtrack from the largest single-day price jump of $10.75 the week before. The Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), which helps nations coordinate their energy policies, lowered its projected demand increase for 2008 to 0.9% from 1.2%, but that may not have been as big a cut as investors would have preferred. Global demand will continue to rise, especially in China, the EIA said. Demand for fuel in the wake of May's earthquake will boost Chinese oil demand by 5.5% this year, a slightly higher forecast than in previous reports. But rising demand may not be the only thing pressuring oil. Increased speculation by large investment and pension funds has been cited as one of the factors contributing to surging oil prices. On Monday, Goldman Sachs global head of commodities research Jeffrey Currie, speaking at a conference in Malaysia, said oil could hit $150 "sometime in summer. And a statement made last week by Morgan Stanley analyst Ole Slorer that high demand in Asia could send oil to $150 by July 4 helped fuel Friday's record rally.
“Impasse puts heat on spying authority”
►Today I read that with congress at an impasse over the government’s spy powers, congressional and intelligence officials ASPECT are bracing for the possibility that the government might have to revert to the old rules of terrorist surveillance, a CONSEQUENCE that some officials predict could leave worrisome gaps in intelligence. That prospect FEATURE seemed unlikely just a few months ago, when congressional negotiators and the White House promised a quick resolution to a bruising debate over the government's surveillance powers. The law allowed the National Security Agency to use blanket court orders to focus on groups of suspected al-Qaeda terrorists based overseas.
►I don’t agree because spying it is not good.
►I also don’t agree because if they are keeping it on secret is because of something.
►In the other hand if they didn’t spy we couldn't know.
►I think the most interesting fact is that the law allowed the National Security Agency to use blanket court orders.
The article I read today is about Washington crime rate is going up crimes reported to the police nationwide, the bureau said the number of violent crimes offensive including homicide robbery and assault from 2006, reversing two years of rising numbers. Violent crimes has raised 1.9 percent in 2006 and 2.3 percent in 2005 property crimes were down 2.1 percent last year, the largest drop in the past 4 years the largest declines were in vehicle theft 4.9 percent.
Chavez
The president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, is commonly known for his head strong personality, rash ideas regarding intelligence agencies and his position of support for Colombia’s rebel groups. Yet, he is also known for changing his position in CONSEQUENCE to diplomatic failures. During his almost ten year rule over Venezuela he has made this very clear, he will make a transition in ideas if his gambles don’t pay off. His ASPECT can change from the totalitarian dictator to the comprehensive listener as the circumstances pay off more for him. Recently he has FEATURED statements that have made clear that once again he has changed his mind. He has been heard to say to the rebel groups to dissipate their guerrilla war and he has also dispelled the idea he had to have a secret service agency that would watch closely the actions of other fellow diplomats. This last idea he had had raised concerns among Venezuelans because it would mean that Chaves would have the power to snip anti government ideas at the bud before they blossomed and influenced others to want a change in government. This idea of his had been dubbed the Gestapo Law a play on the Spanish word sapo which in slang means snitch.
The article I read today was on the 0-2 run against Lakers and Celtics. Celtics is leading the series not just cause there offensive but there solid defensive. With lockdown on Kobey Bryant the Lakers seem to be having a hard time catching up. With Bryant throwing up questionable shots and the Celtics have there way while building a 95-71 lead about eight minutes in the first half. Towards the end of the game the Lakers seem to lockdown on both sides of the board. Still trailing in the second half not by a lot. Bryant with three assists to Derek fisher, Vladimir Radmanovic for the three. An one him self. At the end of game 2 the score was 104 to 102 Celtics took it.
