Oklahoma's new topic

The state of Oklahoma just decided, and by an appallingly high margin I might add, that a doctor is protected from being sued if he or she chooses not to tell a woman that the baby she is carrying has a birth defect. Under this new law, a doctor may withhold information, mislead or even blatantly lie to a pregnant woman and her partner about the health of their baby if the doctor so much as thinks that fetal test results would cause a woman to consider abortion.But a woman in Oklahoma no longer gets to exhale. Because now, when a doctor says, "Everything looks fine," she has to wonder; does it really? Oklahoma politicians have now said that she can no longer count on the sacred trust that always existed between her and her doctor. A doctor may now lie to her face and, in doing so, deny a woman what is quite possibly the most important piece of information she will ever receive in her life.

should people under 16 have facebook accounts?

this new controversy has been a topic since facebook had become such a widespread website. in a way i agree kids unders 16 should be highly protected when expressing themselves on the internet, i like the fact that people are able to identify new friends through this websites though even kids younger than 18 should provide their passwords to their parents and have permission before hand. Facebook is harmelss when used correcting just like anything on the internet.

YOUTUBE IS ADDICTING

all i do now a days is look of funy youtube videos lol. i have found some great stuff though like these guys called rhett and link, they make road trips and create retarted commercials for local businesses. it may sound stupid but their stuff is really great. another youtube show i found is called equals three, its about this guy who finds videos on youtube and compiles them all together so everyone can see them, he also leaves personal comments.

here's their latest video

MGMT just release a new album, with a brand new song called flahs delirium. Andrew really reminds me of bob dylan in this video. his songs are in a way alike aswell, not traditional at all. here's the video.

Favorite new band

MGMT! i dont know why but ever since i heard their song Electric feel i'v just been amazed by them. they often dont use typical guitar and drums, this band uses any instrument they can grab to make a perfected sound. their videos are colorful and the lyrics are poems not ryhmes. the band consists of mostly two main guys though im sure other musicians play their part aswell. Andrew sings and play guitar (far left) and his best friend (far right) is back up and plays the piano.

Lady G in law suit

A lawyer for Lady Gaga has responded to a suit filed by her former boyfriend and collaborator, Rob Fusari, who accused her of not giving him his full share of royalties and other fees. On Friday Charles Ortner, a lawyer for the singer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, made public papers he filed in court saying that her agreement with Mr. Fusari was “unlawful,” and that the contract was “structured in such a way as to mask its true purpose — to provide to the defendants unlawful compensation for their services as unlicensed employment agents,” The Associated Press reported. In an e-mail message to The A.P. last week, Robert S. Meloni, a lawyer for Mr. Fusari, said, “Rob was no more of an ‘agent’ for her than she is a Roman Catholic nun.” Mr. Fusari, who helped write Lady Gaga songs including “Paparazzi” and “Beautiful, Dirty, Rich,” is asking for $30.5 million in compensation.

A New Human Group?

A previously unknown kind of human group vanished from the world so completely that it has left behind the merest wisp of evidence that it ever existed — a single bone from the little finger of a child, buried in a cave in the Altai mountains of southern Siberia.

Get Science News From The New York Times » Researchers extracted DNA from the bone and reported Wednesday that it differed conspicuously from that of both modern humans and of Neanderthals, the archaic human species that inhabited Europe until the arrival of modern humans on the continent some 44,000 years ago.

The child who carried the DNA lineage was probably 5 to 7 years old, but it is not yet known if it was a boy or a girl. The finger bone was excavated by Russian archaeologists in 2008 from a place known as the Denisova cave.

LEAGALIZEIN' MARY JANE????

On Wednesday, the California secretary of state certified a November vote on a ballot measure that would legalize, tax and regulate marijuana, a plan that advocates say could raise $1.4 billion and save precious law enforcement and prison resources.

Indeed, unlike previous efforts at legalization — including a failed 1972 measure in California — the 2010 campaign will not dwell on assertions of marijuana’s harmlessness or its social acceptance, but rather on cold cash.

Can inhaling sharpies make you high?

According to NIDA’s scientists, the answer is yes. Permanent markers contain chemicals called solvents. When inhaled, these solvents can produce a “high.” Like alcohol, inhalants including Sharpies can cause slurred speech, lack of coordination, euphoria, and dizziness. Unfortunately, the chemicals that cause these effects can also make you sick, kill your brain cells, and damage your nerves.

my Top Five American Serial Killers.

1.Charles Manson-
His first murder was that of Sharon Tate, wife of director Roman Polanski. The next was the LaBianca family. He was sentenced to death but later reduced to life imprisonment, when California Supreme Court eliminated death penalties temporarily. He is currently an inmate at Corcoran State Prison.
2.Ted Bundy-
Police counted 15 women as his victims. Gein told the police that he never had sex with any of the dead women as “they smelled too bad.” His fascination with women was because of the power they held over men. Gein was admitted to Waupan State Hospital and died of cancer at the age of 78
3.Richard angelo-
Angelo was a killer with a different mindset from all others. He made the entire nation scared of hospitals. The desire to be a hero in others’ eyes made him a monster. He was 26 when he went to work at the Good Samaritan Hospital on Long Island in New York. He was a former Eagle Scout and always tried to do good things and help others.
4.Albert Fish-
Albert Fish may have been America’s most vile pedophile, serial killer, and cannibal. He is known by many names — Gray Man, Brooklyn Vampire, The Boogeyman, and the Werewolf of Wysteria. He was a gentle-looking and benevolent grandfather, a total contrast to the monster within him. His wife considered him a wonderful husband and his children believed he was a model father. Some of his crimes seem unbelievable.
5.Belle Sorenson Gunness-
Unlike many other female killers, Gunness didn’t poison her victims — she slaughtered them. She was a 42-year-old Norwegian immigrant who purchased a property in La Porte, Indiana using her first husband’s insurance after his death. Her husband and two of her children were said to have died mysteriously, although she wasn’t suspected. After moving to La Porte with the rest of her children, she married Peter Gunness who died after just nine months. She collected another insurance payment. Over the next few years, other men that came into her life vanished without trace.
She became famous for being a black widow — killing several of her husbands, ranch workers and adopted children.

How to Tip well

a nice fail tip is about 15% to 20% of your total bill after tax. If you don't think you can afford it, then go to a restaurant that doesn't have table service or stay home and cook. Skipping the tip is absolutely not allowed (and the karma gods will hunt you down for it).

Sometimes servers give less-than-awesome service to teens because they expect you to be bad tippers. My advice: give them a great tip anyway. They'll realize they were judging you unfairly, and they'll probably be a lot nicer to the next group of teens.

thoughts on the Grammys!

I thought it was funny how for Lady Gaga's performance there was never a full body shot then you see the pics and realize why XP
I lovedd the Black Eyed Peas Fergies such a BAMF in all her outfits.

i didnt know it was easier to sing on your back but apparently your whole diaphragm has to expand, forcing you to take good deep breaths
If you're fit enough you can sing while doing anything how do you think dancers like beyonce do it?

Global Warming, its real

Global warming has been getting a lot of attention in the media lately and with good reason. It is a drastic environmental problem with worldwide implications. Scientists around the world are publishing data that supports the conclusion that the problem will cause noticeable damage in the very near future.
So if all of the attention in the news about global warming gets to be bothersome and you find yourself thinking “I just don’t care,” then think again. We’re all in this together and whether you realize it or not, there is probably something that you value in life that global warming threatens. And to really stop the hub-bub, go out and DO SOMETHING. If you get enough people involved, hopefully someday this problem will be solved and you will never have to hear about it again.

top 3 movies that should be done at our school plays

"Dazed and Confused"
With the 1970s backdrop, quirky characters and cult following, how could this musical not be amazing? Throw in some covers of any of the rock classics that were in the original soundtrack and we’ve got ourselves a musical masterpiece. Think "Across the Universe" meets "American Graffiti."



"The Breakfast Club"
This 80s classic has all the ingredients of a good musical: the star-crossed lovers, the unexpected transformations and the feel-good happy ending. Plus, to see our five favorite detention goers busting a move and belting out ballads would be, like, totally awesome.



"Clueless"
If Elle Woods can have her own musical, so can Cher Horowitz. The clothes alone would make this hilarious satire worth seeing onstage. And it’s got the potential for some killer hip hop numbers (Dionne/Murray rap battle? Yes!)

Superstitions (but why?)

Black Cats: In ancient Egypt, the Goddess Bast was a black, female cat. Christians, wanting to rid society of all traces of other religions, convinced the ignorant that black cats were demons in disguise and should thus be destroyed. In the process, they also destroyed the kindly ladies who cared for the cats, believing them to be witches. Being demons, a black cat crossing your path would create a barrier of evil, cutting you off from God and blocking the entrance to heaven.

Friday the Thirteenth: The idea that this day would bring bad luck has its roots in both Norse and Christian beliefs. The Scandinavian's believed that the number 13 was unlucky due to the mythological 12 demigods being joined by a 13th, an evil one, who brought misfortune upon humans. Christ was said to have been crucified on Friday and the number of guests at the party of the Last Supper was 13, with the 13th guest being Judas, the traitor.

It's bad luck to walk under a ladder: A leaning ladder forms a triangle with the wall and ground. Triangles represent the Holy Trinity, and violating the Trinity by breaking it (walking through it) would put you in league with the devil himself. Considering what Christians did to those who were considered to be in league with the devil, it's hardly surprising that leaning ladders were avoided at all cost.


God Bless You: The blessing of those who sneeze started when the great plague took hold of Europe. Sufferers began sneezing violently, and as such, were bound to die. The Pope therefore passed a law requiring people to bless the sneezer. At the same time, it was expected that anybody sneezing would cover their mouth with a cloth or their hand. This was obviously to stop the spreading of the disease, but many believed that it was to keep the soul intact. Sneezing 'into the air' would allow the soul to escape and death would be imminent. Up until this time, the opposite was true. Those who sneezed were congratulated as it was believed that a violent sneeze would expel evil from their bodies.
