Blog Assignment #45 / The LA Times

CRIME L.A.
          This talks about how people in L.A. can be notified on the crimes in their city or neighbor hood. It talked about how the police are setting up a program so people will know everything they need to know.  It is a good way to know the places you don't want to be around.  It was a good little article. It was very informative.

Serious actor became a comic star
      This article just talked about how a Canadian changed from serious acting to comedy. He had been in movies since the 1950's. It didn't say much about it. It was a good article though. I thought it was great. It said the movies that changed his carrer were 'Airplane' and 'Naked Gun' .

         Fast Track: Johnny Depp says 'gay' Jack Sparrow made Disney nervous
       This just talked about how he confessed that Disney didn't like his acting as Jack Sparrow. They said he played Sparrow to gay. I didn't think that sounded right. I liked his performance. It brought the whole movie together.

 

Broadway's 'Spider-Man' musical begins previews on a shaky note

          It talked about all the technical difficulties in the performance. They said it was a train wreck. The star was supossed to be flying, but  the wire weren't working. He was left dangling above the audience. I would not of wanted to be there.

Disney's Rich Ross is really crazy: He thinks Pixar should win a best picture Oscar
       It says that 'Up' should not of won best picture. It should have been 'Toy Story 3'. I agree. 'Up' was boring. 'Toy Story 3' was much better in every way. It should have won best picture. I liked 'Up' sort of. It was an okay movie, but 'Toy Story 3' was better.

Blog Assignment #44/ The BBC

Brazilian forces seize large drugs haul in Rio favela
        I like this story because it is a big police chase. The police found more than 30 tons of marijuana.
Drug traffickers were given a choice to surrender by sunset on Saturday or face an assault. The story had a lot of action.  It said that they seized the marijuana, which was packaged for delivery, from several houses in Grota.

Mexico gang boss 'admits murders'
       In this story their were 2,700 murders in Mexico! Arturo Gallegos Castrellon was the boss of the gang. He confessed to most of the killings in Mexico since August 2009. He and his gang members called themselves Aztecas. Aztecas gang members work as hitmen for the Juarez drug cartel. This was a really great story.

Heavy snow causes disruption across north of England
      More than 550 schools are closed and several flights have been cancelled in the north of England after more heavy snowfall.Up to 6in of snow fell in the North East causing Durham Tees Valley Airport and Newcastle Airport to close. Ice is also causing problems on roads in East and West Yorkshire where conditions are very hazardous. The snow is causing the people not to be able to fly or drive anywhere. They don't like this bad weather.

Iran dismisses Wikileaks release
       Iran's president has dismissed as propaganda the leaking of US cables detailing Arab calls for Washington to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. The release by the Wikileaks website of thousands of extracts from US diplomatic messages was simply warfare against Iran.The release would not affect Iran's relationships with other countries. The release was reckless and put the lives of diplomats at risk. It talks a lot about how Obama is trying to make sure similar leaks don't happen again.

Dentist Howell's wife cries out to son as she is gassed
        The murdered wife of killer Colin Howell called to her eldest son as her husband gassed her. Howell confessed to police that his wife, Lesley, cried "Matthew", as he held a gas pipe to her face. I guess he didn't like his wife.Howell then dressed her body, put her in his car boot and drove to his former lover's home. There, he gassed her husband, Trevor Buchanan in May 1991.Howell used poisonous gas to kill both of his victims in May 1991.The bodies of Lesley Howell, 31, and Trevor Buchanan, 32, were found in a car full of exhaust fumes in Castlerock in 1991. This was a very interesting story.

Who am I?
      "Who am I?" is a fun game. Everyone can play it. It is a fun game you can play anytime.You can win really cool prizes. It also helps you to get to know you classmates and teachers better. It is a helpful way to find out facts.
      It is an awesome game. It is fun for the publisher too. The person who makes it gets to pick a student or a teacher and find things out about them. All you do is get a sheet of paper and get them to fill it out. It is not hard at all.
       It is a fun party game too. You can have bucket loads of fun with it. It is a mystery. Most of the time you get candy for winning. It is really good candy too. It is just a fun little game. It is very simple. It is very very fun.
      All the person does is read the article and try to find out who the person is. It is not a long article. It is a short article that has easy words. It doesn't take much effort. I know that some people are lazy so all you have to do is read. ___________________________________________________________________________________
Actress of the Month
      This lets the children have variety. They can actually pick who they want an article about in the newspaper. It is so fun for the children. They can say I like her and I don't like her. It can only be a girl actress though. You try to keep it in the Disney Channel.
       If you keep it limited to good actresses, it doesn't harm the kids. I like the idea of being able to pick what I want in the newspaper. It gives me something to do. I think that it is not a bad idea. I think that the students will like it.
        The children will love being able to pick. They won't just sit around and wait for the newspaper. It is so cool. They love have some responsibility. They are not useless although some may act useless. It makes them so happy to for you.
         This is a great idea. They should do this in newspapers everywhere. I know that children would love that. Newspapers now are not fun at all. It will make the students love newspapers once again. I know the children would love that. ___________________________________________________________________________________
Crazy Cover Sheet
             I think this will give kids something to do when they get bored. They can do it after test. They can use it to cover their test. They can color it. It is just a fun thing to. It will have games on it. I think the students will love it.
             They will have so much fun with it. I know I will love it. I love the games that we can do on paper now-a days. It is so cool. I think the kids will have an awesome time playing on it. I know that it will be awesome.
             It is so so cool. The people who make it will have fun too. They can find out what kids want to do. It is so hard and fun. Kids like to be on the newspaper. It gives them work to do. It makes them feel good to make a cover sheet for the kids.
             I think everyone will enjoy a crazy cover sheet. I know I would. Everyone will have a blast with a crazy cover sheet. If I had a survey, almost everyone would vote for the crazy cover sheet. It will probally be the best thing in the newspaper.
