Wild Weather Event! Blizzard of '96

During January of 96' everyone remembered the events for their city. But this was the last big storm.....(until 2010). First everything was dark and then it happened! The blizzard came. The storm was a national disaster according to Bill Clinton. 100 lives were lost and it stretched over many states including NJ. Nobody was prepared. An inch of icy snow in Atlanta, where tractor-trailers skidded across highway lanes and the indoor shopping area became deserted.Washington got a record of 24 inches, 30 inches in Philidalphia and 20 inches in NY.Also Boston got 18. Millions of dollars it took to clean up this nasty blizzard and everything was closed. Hoboken closed cities and of course, the capital of cabin fever was the capital. Monday was the day the government was to reopen. But when the day arrived, the only open shop was the Supreme Court, with Justice David Souter catching a lift to work after failing to dig his Volkswagen Rabbit out of a drift. This Blizzard was one to leave a mark with a huge downpour of snow and crazy reactions to what was going to happen. This is what also happened in the Blizzard of 2010. But There are no Facebook groups for the Blizzard of '96.

Smiles to Go Book Review. Smiles to go is a book about a boy named Will and he has an annoying sister who he personally hates. She takes Will's jellybeans and touches his Chess Champion Trophy. Then After Will is at his second championships about to win He is called out of the Tournament and his parents and him drive down to the Trauma center where Tabby his little sister is. Will Refused Tabby come to the tournament and so she took his skateboard and rode it down Dead Man's Hill. She fell off and had to get rushed to the Hospital. While Tabby is in an induced coma he reads to Tabby and finds out that the only reason Tabby touches everything is because she loves him. For example tabby drops Will's favorite jellybeans into the wastebasket and after will gets mad and leaves takes them out of the basket and hides them which she was going to give him on his birthday. Finally Tabby becomes better and Will walks Tabby down the aisle for graduating Kindergarten.

I would reccomend this book because it is a good book to read because it shows that even though someone may act like they hate you it is really just the way they love you. It is also a good book because it goes through Will's life and how everything lead up to the trauma center accident. It tells about Will's best friends, star parties, Friday night Monopoly. It also shows how an average 9th grader can become someone who gets his 5 year old sister and enjoys the time of his life being with Tabby. That's why I would reccomend this book.

Monica knew when the boxes were in the room it was time to go. Monica always wondered why, she was never able to go to school on picture day or why they always moved. One day when her parents weren't home she found her birth certificate, without a doctor and signature. It had the date and year of when She was seven. One day her mother was ill and had to file reports to the hospital, while she was getting the folder she uncovered a family secret. Her mother had a whole hysterectomy and couldn't have a child. Her mother was also very old to have a child of Monica's age. She asked her mother and her mother said her half sister was her mother. Her half sister was 19 years older and it could in fact be true but she wanted to find out for herself. Monica confronted her sister and her sister said, that her real mother sold Monica for a bus ticket and was worthless to look for. So what happened was she found more information out and didn't know who to believe. was she really kidnapped? pr was she her sister's daughter? The world may never know....





Science Technology Current Event[| science for kids article] A pepper that Burns Your Fat! Many people say diets come and go but really all we need to do id to burn more energy than we consume, therefore eat healthier and work out. Well there a chemical it’s dihydrocapsiate, it comes from a pepper, and in a recent study it was shown to boost the body’s energy burn.so now when you eat your peppers you can actually loose more weight.David Heber, a scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles reported on the dihydrocapsiate research in April during a meeting of scientists who study nutrition. He and his co-workers tested the chemical on 33 obese men and women. For four weeks, these volunteers consumed only 800 calories per day, and all of those calories came from a nutritious liquid, instead of from solid foods. These liquids did not contain any fat .At every meal, the participants were also given pills. People in one group received pills that didn’t do anything. Drugs that don’t do anything are called placebos, and they help the people who experiment figure out whether the drug or medicine being tested really works. Other participants were given a small dose of dihydrocapsiate. Finally, other participants were given a high dose of dihydrocapsiate. The people who took the non placebo pill with the dihydrocapsite burned more fat than the others who took the sugar pill.Heber and his team think that the pepper chemical works by attaching itself to another type of receptor, this one in a person’s gut. This receptor helps send a message to the brain, which then starts a process that causes a body to burn, burn, burn calories. This process is the same that, when triggered by capsaicin, causes some people to sweat while they eat hot foods. The scientists say that capsaicin could have the same effect as the dihydrocapsiate, but capsaicin causes intense pain to a person’s mouth and gut.

Senior congressional Democrats and the Obama administration scrambled Wednesday to line up support for $23 billion in federal aid to avert an estimated 100,000 or more school layoffs in a brutal year for education budgets coast to coast. Learning will get smaller and class sizes will get bigger, it's not gonna work but it's gonna have to.

"Giving states another $23 billion in federal education money simply throws more money into taxpayer-funded bailouts when we should be discussing why we aren't seeing the results we need from the billions in federal dollars that are already being spent," said House Minority Leader John A. Boehner.How many of the estimated 3.3 million public school teachers nationwide will lose their jobs remains unknown. Duncan often says 100,000 to 300,000 education jobs are at risk, including support staff. Teachers unions have put the layoff threat in the range of 160,000 — including 9,000 in New Jersey, 16,000 in New York. [|Time Magazine]

Social Awareness about : Poverty

Poverty happens around the world, many don't know why it happens because it can be one mistake you make in your lifetime that changes everything. Was it a lazy mistake? But what we do know is that poverty happens everywhere. Many poor people in America are fat because they can get a McDonald's Cheeseburger for less than a dollar! In other countries you either have some or none.And those poor people are skinny because they haven't had food in forever.The poorest people will also have less access to health, education and other services. Problems of hunger, bad nutrition and disease afflict the poorest in society. The poorest are also typically hid from society and have little representation or voice in public and political debates, making it even harder to escape poverty. Some Statistics about Poverty are:

Poverty is a big issue and if we don't help many people will keep dying! We already have large statistics for people without food. Many feel that high levels of inequality will affect social issues and lead to problems such as increasing crime and violence. Poverty Is a BIG issue and we can help! Over 24,000 children die every day around the world. That is equivalent to: Call a local food bank and help the children in need.

As a skier i will tell you about what to do when you ski. first of all it takes a lot of practice and a lot of skiing! Many skiers like Lindsey Vonn and Bode Miller are one of the best skiers in the world. first if you never skied before it's going to be a challenge. After that you get all of your stuff on and i recommend you rent it and don't wear jeans. To get on the Chairlift you have to hop on and hold on to the side bar. Then you have to but the bar down to be safer. Unless you are a daredevil and like falling from 50 ft i recommend you put the bar down. Now you are at the top of the slope and you you have to get your pole straps on. then you get ready to do the pizza! your skis have to be in a wide triangle and you have to make giant turns that's how you will get down the hill without killing yourself. What is ski racing you may ask? Well it is a huge sport and USA is very good at it. We Have Lindsay Vonn and bode miller. but ski racing is when you have a start gate and it is called the magic wand and once you hit it, it starts timing you. So you hear 5 4 3 2 1 and you go anytime after 5. then if it is a GS Giant Slalom you go through gates and alternate red blue. For slalom you go around sticks and many people hit the sticks so they have to wear shin protectors and chin guards. You alternate red and blue and you have to go through very quick so many people hit the gates. there are gate keepers to see if you missed a gate and if you did you get and DNF did not finish.media type="youtube" key="QPGFz7zd-ts" height="385" width="640" =media type="youtube" key="QgE_dZRT95I" height="385" width="480"=
