7 health benefits of playing video games


                Has your mom ever told you to get off of your electronics because it hurts your eyes? 
Well now you will have something to tell her according to recent studies video games actually help your vision because it helps you be more aware about whatever is going on. Games like Halo and Call of Duty and other first person shooters make you work your mind and you increasingly get more aware about everything. Video games can also help people with diseases because it works out their mind to try new things. Are your grand parents happy? Because if their not then they probably haven't played games. Scientists say that elders are even more happy when the play games then those that don't. If you want to see the other benefits you can go to this website-Click Here

Double Take

Double-headed shark fetus netted by fisherman


while a fisherman was fishing off the coast of the Florida Keys when in one of his nets he caught a two headed shark.He brought it to scientist, who hen said that there are 16 recorded two headed sharks and that it was the only bull ever recorded. I think that this is important because finding out more about the species we have today can help use to produce more and maybe these animals may even have a way to help find a cur for a disease.

Engineering Animals?


Cyborg bugs and glow-in-the-dark cats: How we're engineering animals



          Engineering animals. Well it's happened before. But have you ever seen this? A cat named Mr.Green Genes who glows in the dark under an ultraviolet light and in light, a normal kitten. Also, what is known as a "GloFish", who glows just like Mr.Green Genes. It's really just a zebra fish who has been genetically engineered to contain a fluorescent protein gene. Which is also what is in Mr.Green Genes, that fluorescent protein gene. But the glowing protein isn't the only thing we've engineered animals with. Plus,this doesn't harm the animals. Its just as if they were born with it. Winter the bottlenose dolphin was also helped or engineered by us when she lost her tail in a crab trap line. So, with Winter without a tail, we made her a prosthetic tail to help her swim just like she would have with a real one like she had. Listen to this. Science journalist Emily Anthes has also discovered a way to engineer animals without the things found in the animals that make peoples allergies act up. I think that this article is important because we are discovering new and very improved ways of living with animals. Also it could be a better way of living, without harming animals.

Abuse leads to Autism.

Study: Women Abused As Kids More Likely To Have Children With Autism

Doctors studied grown women that were abused as a child and that are currently pregnant. It turns out that their brain sent things all around their body that were poison to the brain. It sends these things because the brain doesn't know how to react. When the baby is growing inside the body that toxin goes into the baby. The toxin goes into the child's brain and hurts it, which would cause autism. Doctors studied a few women and it turns out it is that their children have a 60 percent chance of being autistic. I think this is important because its heartbreaking that peoples children have to suffer because of a stupid mistake someone made. To learn more click.here. No pic

That iPad box might be filled with a fake

That iPad is a Little Light....


          Suzanne Nassise was walking outside of  Walmart and thought she was buying a normal $499 iPad. When she got back home she noticed it was a little on the light side, so she opened it and pressed the center button to turn it on it didn't turn on she then noticed it was a paperweight. I Think this is important because there are people out there that will do anything to trick you into giving your money so be careful with your money. I also think this is important because people need to be more suspicious about a guy selling you a lightweight iPad outside of Walmart because you could be ripped off.

Disorders don't matter


Mom: Down Syndrome doesn't change my dreams


To learn more click here

         In September 2003 a 16 year old girl was pregnant with a baby girl that had Down Syndrome. She asked herself what kind of shoes her daughter would wear. After thinking about it for a while she decided she didn't care what shoes she wore. Jaylin (the baby) was born a wore pink Nike shoes for a good few months. I think this is important because like the mother did, she didn't let her baby's disorder come in the way of her dreams for her. I also think this is important because many people treat kids with disorders different but they really shouldn't, those kids didn't chose to have the disorder.   Photos courtesy the <a href='http://www.ndss.org/' target='_blank'>National Down Syndrome Society</a>

Parent New Way To Make You Punished


Parents Force Girl to Hold Sign as Punishment for Being Disrespectful. Tough Love or Too Much?

A 13 teen girl was forced to hold a sign in public for about an hour. The sign had "I’m a self-entitled teenager w/no respect for authority. I’m also super smart, yet I have 3 'D’s' because I DON’T CARE." Some people had took pictures and it has got on Facebook. Most people are being rude to them now and some people see why they are doing this to her. She started being like this when there brother died in Afghanistan in December 2011. I think this is important because I can see why they are doing this but I think there's a better way to fix this instead of making them hold a sign in public. They could have just had a big talk to her or something else. If you had to hold a sign in public for everybody to see would you like that.To read more go  Here.

Three marines and the gunman are dead


3 Marines, including gunman, dead in shooting at Marine Base Quantico

Authorities say that an active duty marine shot and killed two members of the marine corps base before killing himself. Investigators say that the male shooter was found dead along with two others one man and one women. The shooter and the two victims were identified as active marines. I think this is important because there must have been something wrong with the man for him just to go killing two of his partners. I also think this is important because it shows us that you can't trust everyone around you.

Salt...Tasty or Killer?


Salt responsible for 2.3 million deaths worldwide, study suggests

  • Heart attack iStock


I read an article about large salt intake having to do with many of the deaths worldwide. My article said that the "salt is responsible for 2.3 million deaths world wide." Studies showed that men were more at risk for death caused by salt. I think that this article is important because many deaths are related to salt and most salt is eaten for taste. I wouldn't want to die just because I liked to eat salt. I wouldn't want any one of my family members to die because they ate salt.

He almost made it ti LeBron James but security got to him first. This man was imminently arrested. This is important because you should never run onto the court during a basketball game because it is not safe for the players or yourself.

Watch and music in one

               Samsung: we're making a smart watch too
               Apple wants to make a watch but also so you can listen to music. Samsung is helping apple to make this. They made it but they still have to test it. The purpose of this is so you can run but also have music to run too.
                I think this is important because its two in one. You have to carry one thing instead of two. It will be a lot easier to run with one thing than with two. I also think this is important because if you are bored at work you can tell what time it is and play a game it is useful f important things. For more info click here!

Deep-sea monsters have surprising DNA


         Scientists say that giant squids that can grow up to 43 feet have very interesting DNA too. Scientists say that their hypothesis have been right so far and that their is only one species of giant squid. This is a long awaited report, too! I think that this is important because there may actually be more species of giant sea animals out there that we do not know about! Another reason that I think this is important is because little is known about this giant species and we may learn more about them from their DNA now that we have it.

Stop blaming video games for America's gun violence

                                                                     Not this\/
Most of America is blaming video games for the gun violence happening in the U.S.A.
Recently Americas attention has been focused on the causes of increased gun violence  especially particularly among children and teenagers. Video games can probably can take 25% of Americas gun violence but there are other  things that cause gun violence. I think this is important because mostly drugs are to blame but also the way kids are raised in there childhood. I don't want kids shooting other kids and all but video games come on blame drugs not videogames. For more information click Here

A scientist from the University of Florida predicts that a large mosquito will be coming soon. It is about 1 inch long and is black and white. He also say that they will bite and the bite hurts really bad.I think that this is important because it lets people who live in Florida know and to be very careful this summer. Also is important because it informs other places that there is a new speices and that it might come to your town or state so be aware.

Georgia town mulls mandatory gun ownership

 Georgia town wants to require guns

      A small town in Georgia may pass a law that it is mandatory to have a gun in ever house. If this town passes the law it will be one of two towns that have done this. This law would give Families the right to protect themselves without prosecution. I think this is important because if every household had a gun there wouldn't be that much robbers and not that much people that wouldn't shoot at other people.   To read more click HERE

Marriage

Half of girls in South Sudan forced to marry

In Other countries girls under 18 are forced to marry people. These women are sold like cattle, they re sold to people that are at least 10 years older than them. One girl was sold to a man old enough to be her grand-father. She was beaten to death by this man because she refused to marry him. She was taken to her family and the man raped the girl in front of her family. It turns out that 39,000 girls are sold in one day in other countries Ike Egypt, or Arabia. I think this is important because people should marry who they want when they want. This is also important because its sad that people would beat and rape teens that are sold to 60 or older men. Its not fair that people would sell their children and then this happens there are only about 1,000 girls that actually got married at a young age and that survived until they were 18.

     A baby girl who was born with her heart outside of her body, went home January 24 after her heart was placed in the spot it should have been in . Docters say that when she grows older, she will need an internal shield protecting her heart and for another heart surgery. She went home with a pink protective shell to protect her organ. I think that this is important because docters performed an amazing surgery and was successful. It just shows what we can accomplish when things like this happen.

Lion Sanctuary? Tight? Safe?

Deadly lion attack occurred after animal escaped cage, coroner says
     On Wednesday March 6, a 24 year old volunteer was mauled by a lion that escaped from its cage. She was cleaning out another enclosure when the lion supposedly must have pulled open a with its paw. Investigators said that the lion broke her neck in one paw swipe and she quickly died. She loved the big cats and sometimes even posted pictures of them on her Facebook page, even the one that killed her. She died doing what she loved.
    The reason that I think this is important is because we should make sure that all of our zoos and other exotic animal shelters are safe for people to enter and be safe. Another reason that I think this is important is because she was there to be kind and help the lion but if she had not been in the other enclosure when the sanctuary was closed this might not have happened.

He is now getting payed $15.5 million for his suffering. I think this is important because if we forget about someone we will have to pay for what they deserve. I also think this is important because this just leaves us more in dept for our mistakes.

Deadly lion attack


Deadly lion attack occurred after animal escaped cage, coroner says
Authorities are still trying to figure out what caused the lion to attack a volunteer at a private park in California. The 24 year old female died very quickly from a broken neck. One of of the officials says that the 24 year old Dianna Hanson was already dead when the lion was tossing her body around in the en closer. Apparently Dianna was not in the lions en closer  she was in the exerciser/play area and the lion escaped from its en closer and sneaked up on her and killed her. I think this is important because the lions cage must not have been very well built because it got out of the cage so, we should make sure that all of the en closers  are very secure. I also think this is important because the loin should not have attacked her so there must have been something wrong with it. (no pic)

           A boy admitted he was a murder in Mexico. When he admitted he was taken to jail. HE told people he was good at shooting thing they thought that he meant other things not people. He can shoot how ever he wants.
       I think this is important because kids like these don't have a chance to grow up they will just stick with what they did in their childhood. I also think this is important because we need to stop all the killing and things like that people are going to get mad and try to be mean to their kids and tell them not to do that kinds of thins.

          Diabetes has been getting worse over the past few years. The cost of diabetes in 2007 was $174 billion and in 2010 the cost was $245 billion. Dr. John Anderson said the cost of diabetes was increasing 8% per year. I think this is important because if the cost of diabetes keeps increasing the more money the government will have to give the hospitals and the more our country will fall into dept with other countries.I also think this is important because the more people getting diabetes, the more factories will close down and there will be almost no more candy!
