  July 31, 2009: A baby loggerhead turtle makes its way to the ocean from the nest in Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge in South Carolina. (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)

I read an article on the Loggerhead sea turtles being laid a few months before Sandy and then hatched right before Sandy started. Some eggs were laid late and either were washed out to sea, the sand was washed away and they were eaten by land predator, or they were hatched an then drown by sea water. The teams were able to save many turtles but about fifty nests were just left behind by the hurricane. I think this article is important because the entire Loggerhead turtle population might go extinct. But another hurricane might come again and destroy another population. Then another hurricane comes and another and another. Then one day the turtles are gone and your great great grand children ask your great grand children what a turtle is. "That is impossible!" you say. But I say that that is very possible. We need to change all of this by helping save the turtles! Click HERE to read more!

make way for Dino bird

Jet sized Dino took off from a prehistoric runway.

A skull of a giant bird called Quetzalcoatlus was found in big Bend National Park. scientist say that this large flying Dino lived i what is now known as Texas. Its wing span is 37 feet wide.These beast would go in downward slopping areas and use it as a prehistorical.

      

I think that this is important  because It tells people about history and this new discovery could be a very good scientific investigation that could become on of a new every day animal just like a cat or dog.

Sandy Disturbed sea turtle

Sandy's surge disturbed baby sea turtle boom

                                       Sandy Disturbed Baby sea turtle

As hurricane Sandy went up the east coast it threatened the loggerhead turtle during nesting season. Florida,South Carolina,and Georgia reported baby booms. North Carolina had  it's third highest year, loggerhead turtles were traveling all  the way to Maryland to lay eggs. I think this important because it shows us how much damage a hurricane can do. And it tells us to be ready for any thing some thing like this will probably happen again so be ready. To learn more click here

fiber does what

WHAT DOES FIBER ACTUALLY DO.There are to types of fiber soluble and insoluble.Fiber acts natural laxative by increasing stool bulk.I think this is important because fiber is a good thing to have in your body and if you do not know what it does that is probably bad.If you wan't to know more click here.

fake gear

Fake tech gear has infiltrated the u.s. government. A lot of tech used by the USA military is fake.In 2010 the military found out there missile is fake.I think this is important because giving the military fake weapons will cost your neck and if the military thought it is someone else they will kill them and that will be very bad.It is also illegal to do that.If you wan't to know more click here.

A logehead turtle introuble

        Sandy's Surge disturbed baby sea turtle boom. In Florida October 26 there was a big hurricane called Sandy Surge. Well in the hurricane there were baby sea turtle hatching. There was at least 4,604 nest on the beach of South Caroline.There where nest on the beach of Florida. 50 were distorted which means a bunch of turtles were killed.
    I think this is important because there is not a lot of turtle in the world. I posted this post because it will teach kids and adults to protect wild life and turtles. But it will also teach people what hurricanes can do to wild life.  Click here for more info. http://www.foxnews.com/science/2012/11/08/sandy-surge-disturbed-baby-sea-turtle-boom/  

Scientists Find a New Kind of Dinosaur!!

2-Ton 'Alien' Horned Dinosaur Discovered

        Canadian scientist found a new dinosaur fossil that walked the earth 80 million years ago. This dinosaur is a distant cousin of the triceratops called Xenoceratops foremostensis. This triceratops is one of the oldest of its kind. I think this is important because dinosaurs are proof that things walked the earth before we did. To me this is also important because dinosaurs are very amazing and cool and its amazing that we found another dinosaur.

Angry birds is partnering with Lucasfilms for the new Angry birds star wars game. The game is about rebel birds fight the evil imperial pigs.In the game players will be able to wield a lightsaber and use the force. There are more than 80 levels.Why i think this is important because if there is more downloads and i know there will be people wont be going outside and playing sports and stuff.

Rare Mammoth Found in Great Condition

Just 4 hours ago on Friday, scientists in France found a nearly complete woolly mammoth skeleton. This mammoth lived between 50,000 to 200,000 years ago.Scientists think he died by drowning or sunking in the mud. I think this is important because if we keep finding these amazing discoveries, we can learn more and more about the past. I also think this is important because if we study the bones we can figure out how old it was when it died and that stuff.

Tentacled Snakes?

One day a group of Tentacled snakes were found in Smithsonain"s zoo. There was eight snakes that had been born.  The zoo keepers said that thy are not endangered but misunderstood. The tentacles are right next to there noses. It makes it so they can feel the vibration of fish or animals by them. I think this is important because there are things out there that no one knows about. To read more go to http://news.yahoo.com/8-bizarre-tentacled-snakes-born-national-zoo-174243910.html

A Rare Whale Fund

Scientists use DNA to ID rarest whale

         The rarest whale was spotted for the first time on December of 2010, the poor whales stranded themselves on a beach in New Zealand. A poor mother and her calf got stranded and died, the mother whale was 17 feet long and the calf was 11 feet long that is very long for a calf! This article is important because up until then there were only three partial skulls found and it was hard to collect information on this whale. This appeared in modern day news because it appeared in the magazine describing how DNA can help you figure things out.

Two horned alien found

Two horned alien found 

 Paleontologists in Canada found a new type of dinosaur. It roamed  the earth about 80 million Years ago. The name of the dinosaur  is Xenoceratops  a distant cousin of triceratops. this dinosaur is 2 ton. This is important because the more we study dinosaurs the more we know. Also we can find more dinosaurs.      

The US presidential election

The presidential election

Obama won 24 states and Romney won 24 states also. But the election does not matter about how many states they won its about the population of the states and the number of votes. I think this is important because Obama won the election many people may have different opinions but you should always treat the president with respect no matter what he does.

          The people better not hope that they can vote on line because they will not have it done. Also the people think that people can hack on to people votes and change their vote. Rob Weber said that at a young age people do not vote so that makes their votes not count. They will hack in by doing something with the computer that they do the votes on. for more info. click here.http://money.cnn.com/2012/11/06/technology/innovation/online-voting-election/index.html There was no picture.

First Gay Marriage

In historic first, gay marriage is approved by popular vote in Maine, Maryland

         The state of Maine brakes a streak of 32 states that say that gay people cant get married.  Now gays in Maine can get married starting Jan 1st. This article is important because to me gays should have the same amount of rights as we do. Now they do in Maine which makes me happy because people say gays are weird and over all not normal people. Now we can finally start to change it so more states will pass these laws in all states.( no picture available)

The speaking gaint

Elephants can speak Korean


An elephant named Koshik can imitate people that train him.He speaks in Korean and very fluently.people did test and had people who speak Korean to listen to the recordings of Koshik talking.The reported that they could understand the recording very well and that he mainly says 5 words witch are hello,sit down,lie down,no, and good.Elephants learn from other elephants and do hat they do but their was a female that had been living with Koshik since 2002,and never ever once  spoke a word.I think that this is important because It shows that elephants are and can be very intelligent.

Wind, rain, snow and fire: The storm that broke records -- and hearts

Hurricane Sandy continues to ruin the lives of many

             It broke records and hearts. This past week, more than 8 million people lost power as a result of wind, flooding, and heavy snow. Waves reached to a range of 20 feet, affecting many along with it. At least 23 states were affected by Sandy's record breaking events. Sandy was so big that forecasters said that if it had been a country, it would have ranked 20th in the world. This massive storm killed 110 people in the United States. This is important because we can't have a storm this big come without warning. We need to see them earlier so that we don't get hit this hard again.

US military prepares for 'zombie apocalypse'

         I think this is important because they are going way to far. They do not need to prepare for zombies. I could see if there was zombies than this would be necessary  but there is no zombies so this is just a big waste of money on the Government part. We should not be worried about zombies. Also this shows how worried people can get over something that is fake.

An Elephant can Speak

Elephant in South Korean zoo imitates human speech

                                                An Elephant can speak

   In one of the zoo's in Korea there is an elephant that can produce 5 Korean words by tucking his trunk inside his mouth. Dome people say he might have started imitating  people because he was so lonely. I think this is important because it shows us that he s lonely and needs another elephant to be with him. And it shows  us that he really wanted to get the peoples attension to tell them something. to read more click here

In Wellington,Utah a worker was having a lunch break and was going to take a video of the train for his son. On the video the train hits the truck. The two men in the truck were lucky because they did not get hurt. In the hit the truck took out a pole. The police hope the town will learn from this. They fixed the pole and have more warning signs.

16 lbs of weed found by k-9

In Park City,Utah a K-9 sniffed out 16 pounds of  marijuana. An unusual looking car with two men in it  was stopped because a taillight was out (you can find out who it was yourself by clicking on the link at the end of the blog) and then they had the dog drug check the car. The dog made a "hit" in the trunk and found the 16 pounds of illegal marijuana.

46K pound metal falls on I-15

In Draper, Utah  metal fell onto the freeway. The chain that held the metal on the truck broke somehow and the sheet metal rolled off the truck. Luck was on our side because it missed every car around it. Not one other car was involved in this accident. Traffic was stopped for about two hours. It took a crane to remove the metal off of the freeway.

Holy Turtle!

   

Jurassic turtle graveyard found in China

By Megan Gannon

Published November 01, 2012

LiveScience

  "This site has probably more than doubled the known number of individual turtles from the Jurassic," said University of Tübingen turtle expert Walter Joyce. "Some of the shells were stacked up on top of one another in the rock." (Museum für Naturkunde Berlin)

Scientists say that they have found a grave site filled with the fossils of turtles from the Jurassic time period. The scientists think that the turtles were living in a very dry time and gathered in a water hole. Then the water hole might have dried up and the turtles may have died. Then the rain might have come in a flash flood and covered the turtle bodies in mud, fossilizing them over time. I think that this article is important because we can learn more about the Jurassic time period from these turtles'. We can even maybe someday learn all of the animals that lived in the Jurassic time period. Just maybe we can learn how to time travel from thesse turtles. Maybe...

Babies get their own medical tape.

This story says says that pulling a band aid of an a adult isn't as painful as pulling it of an infant. They say that if your not careful it can tear of fragile skin and can cause a bad injury. I think this is important because it shows that if we don't take care of our kind, we could become instinct eventually. I also think this is important because if we study these little insects, we could made a lot of new discoveries.

10 mile track for Atlantis the spaceship

"My opinion is it looks better vertically," said Christopher Ferguson, the astronaut who commanded Atlantis' final flight in July 2011.The fact that several hundred shuttle workers are about to lose their jobs, now that Atlantis is being turned over to the visitor complex, dampened the mood. They launched the spaceshutal  last year.http://news.yahoo.com/photos/space-shuttle-atlantis-rolls-down-kennedy-parkway-way-photo-130148452.html;_ylt=Ag6F37NTyneSAmYARHRpc.XzWed_;_ylu=X3oDMTQ1cHJuNnRhBG1pdANBcnRpY2xlIFJlbGF0ZWQgTGVhZARwa2cDYmQyNDAyNTktNjY1Yy0zMDMyLTk1ZjEtN2EyZDExOTJhNWM1BHBvcwMxBHNlYwNNZWRpYUFydGljbGVMZWFkBHZlcgNjYmRjN2NkMC0yNGVkLTExZTItYmY3NS03NTQ3ZmM3MjRhY2Y-;_ylg=X3oDMTJxYTE3ODJiBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDY2QzODE1NTYtY2E5Mi0zNjBlLWJmOGQtMTAwOGM4MDZkYTM5BHBzdGNhdANzY2llbmNlBHB0A3N0b3J5cGFnZQ--;_ylv=3

The Two Boys That Are Gone.

A mother was trying to run away from her house and went into her SUV but then the car stalled. When they were trying to escape from the car the two kids (Brandon and Connor) where snatched from her arms from the water. They found the bodies on Thursday(The third day of the search) with help of police divers and sniffer dogs. The police thought this was horrible. I think this is important because many peoples most precious things just got swept from there feet and are gone for ever.

From folklore to the future: Protecting endangered Sumatran Tigers

Help We need help!

Tigers have always been in the hearts of people and now there are endangered. People are in the forest ore on guard to make sure that there is no illegal tree cutting  so the tigers habitat is good. The Sumatran Tigers are 1 of 5 tiger species left with an estimated species of 500. I think this is important because if they are gone there will only be 4 species left. We need to work together  to keep animals  on Earth. If animals keep getting extinct then there wont be any animals left.

Mother lost Her Children to Sandy

                   A mother of 2 children got caught in sandy. The mother fled from her house to the SUV and that was filling up to with water. She ran out of the car with two little kids in her hands and not after that Sandy meant up with the 3 and sweep the children right out of her hands. The children's bodies were fond soon after in the heart of New York. I think this is important because we should remember to help one and others who have lost things that can never ever replaced and just help them. We may not be able to fix every thing, but that doesn't mean we can't try.  Click HERE for more information.

 

Magic Numbers

Three Numbers That Could Hold the Key to a Romney Win

            On November first there was a dead tie between Mitt Romney and Barrack Obama. This means that there will be a boost  for antacid sales in Boston and Chicago. With just five days until the life changing election both campaigns will be on the edge until Tuesday night. I think that this is important because this is a big point in history if our country elects the wrong president this could be the end of freedom. I also think that   this article is important because we could ruin the country if we vote for the wrong candidate. This is a big step for our country.

Mitt Romney: My vision for America

Mitt Romney said " America is a place where freedom rains a place where we can tell are differences. A place where were free."

Obama said " We will make more heat for homes that need it we will give gas to cars that need it we will give food to people that need it.''

Why I think this is important is because if we choose the wrong president we will fall as a nation.

Poor Animals :(

Habitat park or 'animal concentration camp'?

The dogs were rounded up and shipped to a deserted island in the Marmara Sea where they starved to death -- all part of a government-led effort to modernize Istanbul. really why should they put animals in concentration camps It's a law that might be killing hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats and little animals, i think this is important because i think these stray animals shouldn't be put to death but put into a nice home and are loved.

Wow! He can Talk!

      

Elephant can speak Korean

By Jennifer Viegas

Published November 01, 2012

Discovery News

• 
  Nov. 1, 2012: An Asian elephant named Koshik can imitate human speech, speaking words in Korean that can be readily understood by those who know the language. The elephant accomplishes this in a most unusual way: he vocalizes with his trunk in his mouth.Click HERE to read more.

      A male Asian elephant named Koshik has learned to talk. He has many trainers and when they asked many different languages what he was saying. He can say hello,sit down, no, lay down, and good. But he can only say them in Korean. Most of the words he says are words he has either picked up from the crowds or they are words his trainers use. I think this article is important because if an elephant can speak than a dog may be able to speak one of these days. Maybe someday we will be able to communicate with our pets. 

Wolf harvest continues to rise

      I think this is important because the wolf population needs to be managed. The wolves  will kill any thing. But we also dont need to wipe out the wolves. 

Sandy survivors push toward normalcy and search for the missing

Are We Ever Safe?

Sandy's grim death toll mounted Thursday as survivors struggled to regain a semblance of the normalcy that the storm swept away this week when it struck the Northeast.The storm was blamed for the deaths of 157 people -- at least 88 of them in the United States, two in Canada and 67 in the Caribbean. Two boys were found Thursday ages 2 and 4.Boats were beached on front yards in the Staten Island neighborhood of Great Kills. Several people were missing. I think this is important because we need to make people evacuate so less life's

 are taken, expectantly the Yong ones. They have life's to accomplish. Also we invest a lot of money into rebuilding houses or buildings.
