The second live octuplets born in U.S. history doing 'very well' and breathing on their own

almost spring break I  cannot wait for this week to be over!  So this weekend I got to go to Winter Weekend in Lutsen and it was so much fun. This was an article I saw on the news and then looked it up in the star tribune. The story is about a family in California who had octuplets I thought this was so cool because its the 2nd time in U.S. HIstory that 8 children have survived, I think that it must have been a shock to the parents and the doctors because they were only 7 babies, and their were 8. I also think that this is amazing because all of the babies are doing really well they are all breathing on their own, this must seem amazing to the mother because I woulg guess that the odds wo9uld be really low for all of the babies to be doing this well but, all I can say is I hope that they keep imporving and the parents stay strong.

With Local Control, New Troubles in Iraq

Its good to know that the war in the Middle east is doing some good, we all know that the war is draining lots of money out of the treasury and many people are getting killed but it is also doing help in the Middle East. The Iraqis are trying to doing well in working to improve their governments, but in the past their have been more horror stories then happy endings. People are still getting hurt everyday and some people are afraid to do everyday things because of the danger outside. I hope that what we are doing in Iraq is the right thing but as we have seen in the past when other people with different cultures go into new lands it doesn't always turn out the best people get hurt, because they don't like the new ideas of the people coming into their lands. Our government has to decide if the pros out way the cons of being in  a war with another country when all we want to do is help them.

A Survival Imperative for Space Colonization

We all think when we are little that we are going to live in space or that we will fly into space some day but now. If you think about it we have done some amazing things in space, we landed on the moon, we built a space station in space, we sent robots to mars. Sooner or later we will be able to live in space either on the moon or in orbit around the earth. I think that at this day and age we should be able to live in space soon but it has been shown that if you spend to much time in space it is hard on your body because your bone density decreases, and you don't get proper exercise because their is little or no gravity on the moon or in space. i hope that some day I will get the chance to go into space but if that doesn't happen in our lifetime i know that it will happen soon.

Global Warming

You all hear that the world is coming to an end that the polar ice caps are melting and all of the animals are having troubles with the new climate changes. The reasons that the global warming has become so prominent issue is that the ocean is 2/3 of our planet and the world is a place that we need to take care of for the people of the future. I believe that this is a real problem that we have to deal with in the article it was claimed that by 2010 the oceans will rise by 7-23 inches. if you think about that the amount of water extra water that would come of that would be grand, I cant even think about how much water would come, or what is going to happen to all the animals that live on the polar ice caps, and in 3 years the place that they call their home is gone.

Across Differing Faiths, Shared Holidays

Their are families in these times in age that have multi religious families with one parent who believes in a religion and another parent who believes in another religion. I think that it is great that people are being more free about their religions and are sharing them with different people of different faiths. Now that parents who believe in different faiths with their children so that they can see both sides of their parents religions and not have to choose only one of their parents religions. when both religions in the family are equal they get to have the best of both world and get to celebrate both religious holidays.
