NEW PLANET???

Yes! You heard right! Scientists discovered a new planet just outside the Milky Way! They named it HIP 13044. It was found with a medium-size telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile. I think that is pretty cool. They say it consists of nitrogen, hellium, oxygen, etc. Also, it is around the size of Planet Jupiter. it is aid that is around 7 or 8 billion years old! I cannot believe their is another planet. I think it is so cool how we keep finding new things. I wonder if there are planets that have people just like us living on them?! HHmmm, I wonder..

Caffeine-alcohol drinks are unsafe!!

So what are they going to do about it? They are going to band them! Finally somebody gets some brains! These Four Loko drinks contain 12% alcohol and are mixed with caffeine. Also, the FDA says that it is an unsafe drink because it is like putting 6 cans of beer together with alcohol. They are also calling it "blackout in a can." People are tending to forget what they are doing or not even have one clue. Next, people are "junping off buildings." This drink is causing consumers to be able to stay up late and drink more. I am glad they are banning this product, but it might take a while to get them completely off the market.

OH,No! Where's Facebook?!

There was a "bug" as they call it, going around facebook just deleting accounts. Over a million users were denied access to their daily used account. It is noticed that more female Facebook accounts were deleted than those of male users. HMM...I wonder why. Also, to complain about it and contact facebook, former users had to go on to Facebook's FAQ page to claim their account. Something I found interesting was that they had to send a picture of their photo ID to prove it is their account. They are now finding a way to reactivate and send users a "sorry note."

MEG WHITMAN

Meg Whitman for Governor of California. Web. 02 Nov. 2010. http://www.megwhitman.com/media/video/11281/I'm-Ready.
 
 
This add is about Meg Whitman. She talks about her strong determination for about one minute. I don't like it because she doesn't really say much about anything that she is going to do. Also there are no examples or any evidence that she will be a good senate that will "change America." She also says that if we want America to stay the same, then vote for her opponent. The fact that she doesn't give evidence bugs me.
