beauty queen killed

The beauty queen of Sinaloa, Mexico was killed. Maria Susana Flores Gamez. There was a shootout and she go caught in the middle of it. There were also two more people that got killed too. The fight was between military troops and criminals from the municipality of Mocorito. There was a rifle found by her body when they found her but they don't know who shot her. This is not really something new though. One of the past beauty queens was also involved with things like this and drugs and she was taken to custody with several other people  but she got released. Since December 2006, 47,500 people in mexico have died from drug related fights. Also a lot of people have gone missing, about 5,300 and 9,000 people have been announced dead but no bodies have been found. I think they need to get it together and change this because they have a huge problem.

table a key bored for iphone

they are in the process of making a program for iPhones so you can use a table as a keyboard. it hepls for people with big fingers. You have to program your phone for it so it recognizes it. It goes off of vibrations. They have it working now but there are still flaws its not perfect and it doesn't work all the time. Spell check helps spelling errors because it might not get the letter right that you hit. There is a video that shows how it works but I don't think its that great because it goes from the keyboard to the screen of the phone and it doesn't show the letters coming up as they are typing. So it could be totally  fake. There is also this other thing they are making so you can use your body as a touch screen and this actually works if you have the machine projector thing they use in the video which  i think it petty cool.

no shoulder bones

Joshua Carter was born with out his collarbones. He a 22 year man that is normal just doesn't have collarbones. For those who don't know that is the bone in your shoulder. It is a very rare disease and its hereditary. This doesn't stop him for being able to do things, he can do everything that someone with collarbones can do. He started to notice that he was different in elementary and middle school. He could touch his shoulders together and no one else could. All his co workers are very accepting of this. They think its cool cause he can fit into smaller spaces because he can squeeze his shoulders together. He got this from his family, he is not the  only one that has it.His sister and his mom and hos moms granddad has it. If people make fun of him for it he doesn't let it get to  him cause he says 'roll with it cause at the end of the day your a little cooler than they are'.  I think this is kind a cool. In the video he crushes a can between his shoulders, a person with collarbones could never do that in a million years do that.

killing giant manta rays

The Chinese are killing them with this medicine.They could make them go extinct. The giant manta ray population has gone down 1/3 in the last couple years.  Its not just in one area its all over the world. Marine biologist don't like seeing this happen so they made a law that it will be considered a crime if you kill one of these manta rays. Theses rays also reproduce slowly so they cant repopulate as fast as they are killed. They don't even kill them for food.Its for some of  their body parts that's all they want from them. Its just wrong to kill a innocent animal for fun pretty much.

teen that buys houses!!....not cars

This girl is 15 and has bought two houses already. She has created her own little business. She buys old kind of junkie looking houses and fixes them and then rents them out. Rent is $800 and that money she uses to pay for next house. Since shes too young to actually buy her own house her parents help her and she just pays them back. She plans to buy 10 houses by the time shes 18. When she is 18 her parents are singing the houses over to her. For right now she is learning how things go when you buy a house and knowing what she can spend and what not to spend. She will probably go into real-state if she keeps doing this. I would never want to do this, they are crazy for even letting their daughter do this and they help her.

couple arrested for terror activities

In London's Heathrow Airport they arrested a couple about 26 years of age and both British nationals. They got off a flight from Egypt and were then arrested for terror activities. The polices didn't know if they were going to Syria or if they returned from from there.  they were brought to the police station and they searched two home in London to investigate. I assume that the homes belonged to this couple. Now they are looking into these two to see if they were part of something that happened in July. How do they tell if someone is a part of terror activity or not? or is it all a guess just of suspicion?

Starfish are a problem

Since like 1980's the Great Barrier Reef has lost about half of its coral. Its all because of this one kind of start fish its kind eats about 10 square meter in a year, that's a lot.  They say that the ecosystem has experienced a lot of damage. The damage was caused by tropical cyclones, starfish (crown of thorns), and coral bleaching.  If this keeps up in 10 years another half of it will be gone. The only thing they can really do to help fix this is to get rid of the starfish because they cant control the storms or coral bleaching cause they are natural occurring things its nature.
