6th Period Current Event 12/10 or 12/17
Please post your current event for 12/10 or 12/17 (you only have to do one) below. You can read about anything you would like to for this current event :).
By: Jameela McCaffity http://www.wchl1360.com/detailswide.html?id=16861 just yesterday 12/14/10 a fire had popped off on colombia street downtown. this is important news for people who may go uptown or want to know these kinds of things. The fire wasnt let out until later, an when it had been put out it "chaffted" the whole bus leaving there to be smoke filling the streets, know one was injured but, i still thought this was crazy !.
I feel like sometimes some people are too overwhelmed and loose control with the reality, which is sad, because bad things happens during that state of mind. That man could have killed those people, which are innocent, and you can't solve a problem anyway if you have a gun. I mean, things get messes up if you ever wanna resolve something and receive a reasonable, smart feedback. I find it ridiculous.
http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/12/16/california.transgender.dmv/index.html?iref=allsearch Harassing a trans-gender in this current state of hype about sexual orientation was a pretty stupid idea for the employee depicted in this article. Had he stuck to the universal commercial indifference that businessmen are supposed to hold, he would have a job and not be under threat of losing 25k of his money. If he really had a problem, posting anonymously to the internet would of been a better and safer idea for him.
http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/12003027928355/town-bars-student-teacher-facebook-friendships/ The article I read was about a school that banned teacher student friendship on facebook. The school is called weymouth in mass.They voted on the rule through out the teachers and administraters adn the rule will be final in this school and hopefully it will expand to other schools as well. I dont like this rule because there is nothing wrong to have a friendship with your teacher. But I do understand that the school doesnt want student favoritism and teacher, student relations.

They do not carry labels or bar codes, because they are wrapped in leaves and tied with twine. The cheeses are all soft raw milk cheeses, and were distributed nationwide to restaurants, distributors, and retail stores. evan clendening
