To I read in the union tribune about bob burn Quist and his victory last night at X games 14.he won all 3 big air events. For his final run his final score was 96 points almost to 100. he thought he wasn’t going to win all 3 heats but it turned out to be the best runs of the night. Bob cleared a 70 foot gap in the middle of the 2 ramps and I think that’s what got him the score of 96.
Reflection – I think that’s pretty cool how he jumped a 70 foot gap to win the heat and get the medal.
Interesting fact - his final run his final score was 96 points almost to 100

Tittle: 20 stopped in attempt to enter U.S. illegally.

Story: The article I read today was that authorities said they stopped 20 Mexicans attempting to illegally enter the United States on a 20-foot boat about 18 miles off Point Loma yesterday. The U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and border Protection were alerted overload vessel about 9:30 a.m. and found the boat with 16 men and four woman, the coast guard towed the boat to its San Diego facility, while customs agents took the 20 people, who are expected to be deported, into custody.
My opinion about this article is I think that it sucks for them not being her right now in San Diego.
My second opinion is they should of crossed some other way because it’s just getting harder and harder by day.
My last opinion is they should of just let them cross.
One interesting fact is that next time be careful when crossing.

“Endurance lift without lifting”
►What I read today on the newspaper is that A team of scientists at the Salk Institute in La Jolla has made a discovery that might just make your dreams come true. They have uncovered a possible “exercise pill.” When ordinary mice were fed two experimental drugs, they turned into marathon mice, capable of running 44 percent longer on a treadmill than before they were medicated, according to an article published today in the journal Cell. If transferred to humans, the pill may not give them the speed or muscle of an Olympian, but it might make it less painful to leave behind the television and hit the treadmill. More practical applications may be to help people with muscle diseases or extreme obesity and help long-term hospital patients maintain a minimum fitness level, said Salk team leader Ronald Evans. “In our society, there is an ever-decreasing amount of time for either healthy food or exercise,” said Evans, a medical investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Compound that with people who had a medical need – people who have long hospital stays and surgery and as a result are inactive and disabled. I believe the availability of drugs that could stimulate the effect of exercise could reduce muscle wasting or atrophy," \
►I agree because the scientist CONFERRED about the thing.
►I also agree because there is no DEBATE on selling the pills.
►I agree because CIVILIANS can use this product.
►I think the most interesting fact is that they are testing with animals first.

The article I read today is about a defensive line men or offensive line men Binghams who plays for the Chargers . Yes, he’s a bear of a man, one who subsists by swatting his way through natural enemies with his huge paws. Apparently, too, the convenient comparison doesn't end there. There’s also grizzlylike behavior to be found in the camera phone of Ryon Bingham,the Chargers defensive lineman who answers to the call of the wild offseason, most recently with a fishing trip to the white river in Arkansas. As captured on video and shown prodly, not only only did the 6-foot3, 305-pound Bingham catch a lovely rainbow trout, but he also ate it on the spot. Raw. As fresh as fresh gets. With no debates on cooking or eating raw, he just ate it raw.

Today in the union tribune, I read that A former government anthrax researcher committed suicide this week as the Justice Department was close to filing criminal charges against him in the 2001 anthrax attacks. Bruce Ivins likely would have faced the death penalty although no information was available on what charges he would have faced. Three sources familiar with the investigation said the case soon will be closed because a threat no longer exists. Authorities were investigating Ivins, a former researcher at the Army's bioweapons laboratory at Fort Detrick, Maryland, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is still officially open. The medical examiner's spokesman said he could not confirm a report in the Los Angeles Times that Ivins had taken Tylenol mixed with codeine. The Times first reported Ivins' death amid the anthrax investigation on its Web site early Friday. The paper said Ivins apparently killed himself after learning of the possible prosecution. It cited unnamed people familiar with him, his death and the FBI investigation.

Anthrax scientist commits suicide as FBI closes in

WASHINGTON (AP) - A top U.S. biodefense researcher apparently committed suicide just as the Justice Department was about to file criminal charges against him in the anthrax mailings that traumatized the nation in the weeks following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to a published report. The scientist, Bruce E. Ivins, 62, who worked for the past 18 years at the government's biodefense labs at Fort Detrick, Md., had been told about the impending prosecution, the Los Angeles Times reported for Friday editions. The laboratory has been at the center of the FBI's investigation of the anthrax attacks, which killed five people including 94-year-old Ottilie Lundgren of Oxford, Connecticut.

In the Union-Tribune today, I read about how the county loses pot ruling again. San Diego County has lost its latest court fight against a state law requiring counties to issue government identification to qualified medical marijuana patients. The patients had to be CIVIL with the government to receive the right outcome of the case. The counties had argued that issuing government identification to medical marijuana patients would violate federal drug laws that categorize marijuana as one of the most dangerous known drugs. They CONFERRED that marijuana is bad for people even the ones with medical problems that it could actually help. The government had to DEBATE whether they should have medical marijuana legal with the medical card, or should it be illegal still. I think it should be legal, because it helps the people with diseases and ill people.

What I learned about this article that I read today is that there was a guy who is 31 years old and went insane. The driver of a civil sports car did a hit and run on some people were really confer injured and just one died but most of them got left paralyzed for life. But now he is gone spend the rest of his life in a state psychiatric debate hospital just for running people over.
