Jeffrey Heller,author of the article ''Hamas says Gaza truce agreed; Israel, Egypt say no deal yet''
informs readers about the chaos happening in Israel on the Gaza Strip,around Jerusalem,and in Egypt.
Jeffrey had two purposes with this writing,1) to inform us of fighting that has been ravaging the middle east for about a week.2) tell us what the pitfall might be after the fighting is over.
tention in Israel has been high for many years with many wondering when the bullets and missiles will start flying,and now they have been for a week and the death toll is rising by the minute.
Jeffery says in the article that"Gaza medical officials say 130 people have
died in Israeli strikes, mostly civilians, including 31 children. In all, five
Israelis have died, including three civilians killed last week."
Hillary Clinton was set to meet with he Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu late Tuesday in Jerusalem but talks of truce between hamas and Israel have halted and the missiles are still falling into Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.more than 150 Rockets have been fired at Jersalem since Monday afternoon and they arent going to stop anytime soon.

beliefs
The nazi party in the 1940's,feared by many,quite possibly shaped how europe and the world look today.Although nazism was not just a belief but a way of life for many who diligently followed Adolf Hitler,others believed that they were all crazy and just another socialist group,Hitler wanted to be different than the socialist party in Italy.

Veronique Greenwood, the author of Why
Bacteria, But Not Humans, Can Live On Caffeine, explains 1) what
caffeine does in bodies 2) why caffeine can be bad and 3) why do we get energy
from caffeine.
"...it processes several enzymes... it breaks down the two carbon and nitrogen rings at the molecule's core." Anytime people drink "caffeine-packed beverages," this process happens to be present in the human body.
"When the molecule seeps into the brain and interferes with neurotransmitters, blood pressure rises..." When blood pressure rises, we have a problem; I find this information amazing because caffeine can do all of this single handed.
"...most of the molecules in nature are inaccessible to human digestion." I am sure of how we get the molecules to produce energy for us; the molecules are rare so our bodies try to absorb as much as we can get.
I used to drink "caffeine-packed beverages." I saw the effects of caffeine and immediately quit drinking the "caffeine-packed beverages." I remember reading an article about the horrors of energy drinks back in elementary school for a health awareness issue we had in the school. I can probably say about ninety-five percent of people in the world consume caffeine everyday.
Veronique Greenwood does a great job on showing us the effects of caffeine and what caffeine physically does to our bodies.

book review
Buzz Bissinger dives into a normal three-game series, perhaps one of the most common things in baseball, and makes it beautiful. 3 Nights in August tells the story of how Tony La Russa prepares his team for a series against the Chicago Cubs. It is a great insight into the workings of a Major League clubhouse and the job of the manager.
Bissinger takes readers into the brain of one of Major League baseball’s best managers. There are peaks into La Russa’s office as he and his coaches analyze statistics and tendencies of opposing players. 3 Nights in August also shows how La Russa handles the pressure of outsmarting another manager on a nightly basis, while nurturing the many different personalities on a team.
But there is much more than that. The book features stories about the humans and emotions that make up a team, as well as providing an in-depth look at the actual game of baseball. Just one example of this is the interplay between catcher relaying signs to a pitcher and the baserunner who may be peaking in. All of this is perfectly interwoven into the basic storyline of a three-game series. You may be surprised at how the storyline has shifted from one thing to another so easily.
Bissinger’s writing is once again excellent. He is known as one of the greatest prose sportswriters of contemporary times, and he does not disappoint in 3 Nights in August. His more famous book, Friday Night Lights, illuminates the beauty of high school football. 3 Nights in August does the same for baseball, helping fans recognize how beautiful a sport baseball is.
Whether you are someone who waxes poetic about baseball or aren’t that passionate of a fan, you’ll enjoy this book. Every fan of baseball should read it and i would prefer it to any non baseball fans as well.

flying saucer current connection
In a recent article on FoxNews.com entitled "Government report on secret flying saucer program made available" the unknown author informs readers of two purposes in writng this article: 1) tell about the requirements to aircraft would need. 2) inform the public about the formerly secret program that was started in the 50's.
Flying saucers,also known as UFO's,have been talk about for centuries and have always been related to aliens.In the early 1950's the United States Air Force secretly planned to build a flying saucer that would reach speed up to mach 4 and heights of 100,000 feet.
the flying saucer was originally planned to be built in Canada at the Avro Aircraft Limited in Ontario and would cost 3.2 million to build just one saucer.The aircraft would have six Armstrong Siddeley Viper turbo jet engines with 1,900 lbs. of thrust and would weigh about 525 lbs. each.
President Obama signed an executive order in 2009 that was also kept under wraps and is still being read through because of its length.The program could also be connected to Area 51 that is very well known and is still denied by the United States government as a real government facility.
This project could be reopened now that we have the technology to build such a craft,after all we have already built laser guns and other "futuristic" weapons.

current event 2
Monsanto Seed Co. has produced a new variety of soy bean that has what they
refer to as stacked genes called RR2, meaning it is resistant to many parasites
and herbicides. A Brazil soy group has recently issued a statement warning
farmers in Brazil against planting this variety of soy since it has not been
approved for sale to china yet. They are worried that farmers that are planting
the samples of these beans that Monsanto is handing out may contaminate
shipments of approved beans that are going to China.
I can relate to this article because I grow soy beans in Oil Trough for Wyatt Farms and am responsible for a lot of what goes on growing the couple thousand acres of beans we farm. I understand that anything that can effect your marketability of your product has the potential to be disastrous and can cause you to go out of business. In the economy today with fuel and fertilizer prices so high, it only takes a few bad years to sink a farm. I haven’t heard of the RR2 variety yet, though it has been approved in America and some European countries.
I believe the authors purpose was to inform the world about what was happening in Brazil with the trade between China and them, and also to tell about the new variety of bean Monsanto has produced. I believe he accomplished his purpose because he gives detailed explanations about the testing and approval of the seed. He explains that many other countries have approved the seed but apparently China is still refusing to approve of the seed and are looking closely at bean shipments coming from Brazil because they are concerned about RR2 contamination. It is not that the variety isn’t good, its that they don’t want to purchase soy beans that may contain the seed because they want to know what they are planting and consuming.
What I do not understand from the article is why China hasn’t approved of the seed yet. The variety has been approved in many other countries that haven’t found anything wrong with it yet that I have learned about. If there was something genetically wrong with it that could cause problems I believe it would have shown itself through all of the testing done by Monsanto and the farmers who grew the samples. I also didn’t understand what they did with the seeds produced by the RR2 seeds that the farmers grew that accepted the samples given by Monsanto. The passage wasn’t clear on whether they had destroyed them or if they were trying to get China to buy them. Also, I would like to know why they have to sell to China and not to a country that has already approved of the variety.
In conclusion, I thought the article was very informative in the struggles that Brazil is going through with the new seed variety. I am hoping to see how the variety will be accepted in the U.S. seeing as China is one of our largest consumers of grain that we sell to. I believe only time will tell what happens with this seed and the global market.

current event
In a recent
article by Stan McNeal of Sporting News MLB entitled “St Louis Cardinals’ need
for Carpenter’s return intensifies.”McNeal informs his readers of one purpose
in writing this article: 1) tell the
readers that Chris Carpenter is ready to pitch and could be a key return for
the Cardinals.
Chris Carpenter, the man who had
a three day rest start during the World Series, is ready for a return. What
a miraculous comeback for him after having a so called season ending surgery in
July and to come back ready to play in September. Carps return might spark another
playoff run for the Cardinals, and maybe even another World Series Championship.
As reported in the article, Carp
has had numerous simulated games to bring his arm strength up to par, and after
Jake Westbrook’s injury Carp might be primed for a return.
while reminiscing on last years Championship performances, I could
not hold back my excitement to see carp pitch again.
Finally, if
Chris Carpenter returns it will mark another amazing feat no matter how good or
bad he plays down the stretch.

The sunflower Forgiveness
No, I dont think he deserves pity, because he was a Nazi and killed alot of innocent Jews. "The dying man held his hand in front of his bandaged eyes if he wanted to banish the picture from his mind." By him going around killing innocent people, no. I dont think he deserves pity because thats not right or fair to the ones who had to go through the pain and suffering of death. Also, i do not think that the Nazi deserves pity from anyone because he killed innocent people and noone deserves to die when their innocent, even though it seems like they do before the convicted . "Then from the other windows fell burning bodies...We shot...Oh God!" There are dead bodies falling from the windows when he doesnt even know who they are or what they have done to deserve that pain. He is just a bad person that needs to suffer the pain he has put other innocent people thru.
