ReplyDeleteThe story that I read was about the wildfire in australia it burnt many houses down. Oregonian
I read " Only 50 transfers available for the most popular high schools" from *The Oregonian.* The article states that Portland Public Schools are limiting slots for transfer students as they move into high school in order to create schools with the same size and offerings. I think this is a great idea. It seems ridiculous to me that your educational options should be limited by where your parents choose to live. All Portland public schools should offer the same elective, athletic , and academic opportunities.
ReplyDeleteI read The Oregonian, and i read about the L.A Clipper and Miami Heat game. Blake Griffin had a great game, having a double double. His 42nd of the season. Even though Griffin had a good game the Heat still beat the Clippers by 18 points.
ReplyDeleteAsk An Expert About A.D.H.D
ReplyDeleteToby Billanow
This article is about A.D.H.D and how it's most commonly associated with younger people. Recently, Dr. Barkley published " Taking Charge of Adult A.D.H.D", Which raises awareness for the 4 to 5 percent of Adults that suffer from this impairing disorder. I think that this article is useful for adults who might have questions on A.D.H.D and where it stems from. At the end of this article you can ask questions and post comments for the doctor to read and answer.

Ever wanted to learn Chinese? well in some school in oregon you can get your very own Chinese teacher from China,that is still in china and will do a webcam chat with you so you can learn Chinese. Some Oregon schools decided it was time to remove German and let students take Chinese instead of German. I am gonna take a guess and say this may be a good thing. my reason for that would be why wouldn't you want to know Chinese!

The article i read on The Oregonian was about how Nancy Reagan celebrated Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday celebration. 1500 people showed up for the ceremony. LoneStar one of Ronald's favorite country performers performed and so did a few other artists. Also the USS flew over the ceremony where everyone sang him happy birthday. he had died at the age 89.

ReplyDeleteSummery of "WikiLeaks Founder Back in Court to Challenge Extradition" written by Andrew Testa, published by the New York Times. 2/7/2011
This articles states that the founder of wikileaks is in court in London fighting not to be sent to Sweden to be heard for charges of rape. He argues that he has done nothing wrong and that it is a smear campaign by unknown enemies because of the countless government documents released.

ReplyDeleteI found this in the Oregonian
I read the article "Shooting of vets by police set off alarms" This story is about how three men who served in the military were shot by police. I think that is kind of wrong for the police men to do because those three guys go to war to save our lives, and those police men shot them and toke their lives away. The sate isn't very happy about this and I don't think that their families are either. I think that they should take this case further like Gresham Police Chief Craig Junginger said to do.
i read an article about last nights super-bowl. The green bay packers gave it there all and they came out on top. the steelers have the most super-bowls to there name and more advantage of fans but the green ay packers deserved this fight. overall, it was a good, hard game and very fun to watch. -chris hugger.
ReplyDeleteI read "After 65 Years, Fix Track Era Will Come to an End," by Ken Goe, from the Oregonian. This article explains why DavidFix is going to retire after season 2011. He thinks he has been a coach long enough and it is time to be a retired man. I think David Fix is smart to retire at the age of 62 because he has been a coach since 1981 and needs sometime to do things that he won't be able to do as he gets older. I decided to read this article because I have heard of his name but I did not know very much about him.
ReplyDeleteJames Kozlik
I read the article "Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood," by Barry Wilner, from the Oregonian. This article was really interesting cause I learned some new facts about the Packers and the players that I already didn't know. I learned that Rodgers has one just as many Super Bowls now as ex-Packer quarterback, Bret Farve. I decided to choose this article because I watched the Super Bowl yesterday, and I was rooting for the Packers, and they won!
ReplyDeleteNathan Hohensee
I read "Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood." Aaron Rodgers led his team to the Super Bowl and they won. He is a quarterback for Green Bay. This is their first championship win in 14 years. He also go MVP of the game. Their team played hard. They were the underdogs and were not expected to win but they did. I enjoyed this article because it was a good summery of the game.

ReplyDeleteOnly 50 transfers available for the most popular high schools
The Oregonian
I think they should be putting more money towards schools instead of closing them down. It can be hard enough to get to school then they want to make kids go to school that is farther away from where they live. It is messed up to me. I have friends that go there and it makes things a lot harder then it should be. Students should be focused on homework and school work not how they're going to get to and from school.
I read the article "After First Talks, Egypt Opposition Vows New Protest" from the New York Times. This article talks about how the Egypt Democracy Movement is putting more pressure on the president to step down and stop the riots. They are going to create a reform to their constitution once the presient steps down. hayden scott per 2
ReplyDeleteI read "Fraternity shooting kills 1 and hurts eleven" From The *New York Times*
ReplyDeleteIn youngstown, Ohio a shooting at a fraternity near youngstown state university that had killed 1 student at the age of 25. But 11 others were injured. Both men were arrested and charged with aggravated murder. Both men that were arrested were seen at a party earlier that day and had reappeared at the house and started shooting.The guy that was shot, was shot once in the head and multiple times in the hips and legs.

ReplyDeleteThe article i read is 'When you need Chinese teachers, go to China", by The oregonian.
Summary : If you want to learn Chinese, in oregon you can learn by turn on computer with Chinese teachers that they live in China and there are 17 licensed Chinese teachers.In oregon school has vast experience with Chinese language classes"Our teachers will tell you they absolutely love teaching American kids," Chinese teacher said. I think that's a good thing to learn Chinese and it's no matter to learn on computer.
"What’s a Little Swine Flu Outbreak Among Friends?" From *The New York Times* says that influenza, or swine flu, may not spread how we originally thought it did. It seems that it actually spreads through the kids networks of friends, and NOT from sitting next to an infected child. Also, adults that got infected probably didn't get it from their children. I think that this is pretty interesting, because I really thought that swine flu spread from sitting next to an infected kid. The more you know.
ReplyDeleteI read "Mr.Rodgers' neighborhood" by Barry Wilner from The Oregonian. The article talked about how Aaron Rodgers was Brett Favre's back up but now Aaron showed everyone he's the star that he was in college. He already has tied Brett with super bowl rings and is showing everyone that he is one of the best QB's in the game. Aaron led the packer to the super bowl from being the no. 6 seed in the playoffs. The packers are only the second team to be ever to win the super bowl after coming as the no. 6 seed.

I read "Wildfire guts 41 homes, damaged 19 in Australia" *The Oregonian*
ReplyDeleteIt was very interesting. There was a very deadly wildfire in Australia that ripped across 4,000 acres of the outskirts of an Australian city, it destroyed dozens of homes. Even though there were 200 firefighters, they still couldn't control it until it had destroyed 41 homes. I think this article is very interesting, it tells people the dangers of wildfires and that if you are told to evacuate your house, you definitely should!

I read "Animal House,Solange Azagury-Partridgde" by Chelsea Zalphony in "The New York Times. There are these new rings ot thatg resemble zodiac signs. hey sell for $2450 dollars which is impratical. The animal sits on top of the 18kt rin. It's hand crafted which is cool and fancy but a little to espensive for my tastes. If it wasn't so much I would more than likely by it.

The article describes the way brady won the vote, and what the vote was. It tell the ways that he describes the win and how he feels about it.
HOW I FEEL: I enjoyed the article and would recommend the article to some tome brady fans. It also sais a really good quote in the article.

ReplyDeleteNew york times
The killings on the boarder of Texas is gaining since 2007 since 38 people were killed. Now their has been 60 people dead on the boarder in one year. This old women got shot when she got dropped of at her job. She was sot in the back of the head.They couldn't get her to the hospital in time. She died when she was 59 year old

I read "Shootings of vets by police set off alarms" from *The Oregonian.* The article states that three veterans had been shot and killed by the police within the last five months. one veteran was considered suicidal, another man had a knife and was intoxicated.I feel that the veterans should not have any special treatment and if they commit a crime that they should have to pay for it like anyone else.
ReplyDeleteCalvien Lewis, Per 3
I read the article "Thai, Cambodian troops trade fire for a fourth day" from *The Oregonian*. The article states that at the border of Cambodia and Thai, Tai soliders were shot at after looking for a fallen comrade, and the Cambodians fired to repel them. I don't think that the Thai soliders should've been shot at, since they weren't on a threatening mission. Although, I think they should've gotten permission from Cambodia to search for their comerade. Because of this incident, 10 people were wounded, and 5 were killed.
ReplyDeleteKody Hardy
I read the article "Mr. Rodgers' neighborhood" from *The Oregonian*. This article talks about how Aaron Rodgers finally proved himself to be a great quarterback by winning the Super Bowl. How he led them to their first Championship win in 14 years, and how he has already tied Bret Farve for Super Bowl wins for Green Bay. Donald Driver says "Aaron's proved that he's one of the best, if not the best quarterback in this game today."

I read "Outbreaks: A Tool to Track Animal Diseases May Help to Protect Humans" from *The New York Times*. This article is about an online mapping tool that enables scientists and the public to track animal disease outbreaks that could potentially jump to humans. It was made in 2009 during the swine flu pandemic. Scientists have realized that they haven't paid enough attention to animal diseases that humans can catch. I think this is a good way to prevent or at least be better prepared for future pandemics. I also strongly agree that this information be shared with the public.

I read "When you need Chinese teachers, go to China" from *The Oregoniam.* The article states that at the end of February the ESP will start to use virtual Mandarin chinese language classes taught by teachers in China. The teachers would teach through the World Wide Wed."Our teachers will tell you they absolutely love teaching American kids," Niederman said. I think this is a great idea. This seems like a lot of work to be putting into a class. But it would be cool to be able to learn a language from a teacher who is from that culture.

I read the article "Champions held together by Band-aids" by Judy Battista. I think it was pretty great that the Green Bay Packers were able to win the super bowl with 15 injured players, two that were injured during the game. It has put the Green Bay Packers in a good place to go to the Super Bowl again, they have a young team with a good future.

I read about a woman who died just over a year ago. Her friends called her Katie. She died in a tragic accident but they didn't say exactly how. She loved to travel and did all sorts of sports. She loved art and learned spanish. Katie was a loving friend and cared a lot about the people around her. She has been missed this pass year.
I read "Killing of missionary Rattles Texas Boarder" in * The New York Times.* This article addresses the killings on the boarder of Texas. It was said that, "..this region that the country has become a lawless war zone." It has been gaining since 2007. There has been 60 people dead on the boarder within one year. A missionary, Nancy Davis, had gotten shot when she was dropped of at her job. It was found later that she was shot in the back of the head. Unfortunately, they couldn't get her to the hospital in time. I find it sad that this region is becoming a war zone.
ReplyDeleteI read the article "After 65 years the Fix track era will come to an end".
ReplyDeleteThe article talks about how David Fix, the track coach for 65 years at Lewis & Clark College, is finally retiring. I think that it is really cool that there has been the same coach there for 65 years. The new coach coming to replace Fix is a former track athlete and plans on coaching for many years to come. I was interested in this article because I have heard the name David Fix before but I didn't know who he was.

ReplyDeleteI found in The New York Times that right when the riots in Cairo started quieting down, workers started right back up again. The protests are requesting that President Mubarak step down from power. Mubarak has been the President for more than 30 years and the Egyptian people want change. I think that the president has been in power long enough, and if he was a good resident, he would want what's best for the people of Egypt. Mubarak should care for the well being of his country instead of his position in power.
I read "Outbreaks: A tool to track animal diseases may help to protect humans" by Donald McNeil in The Oregonian. This article is about a new tool that will be open to the public. This tool is called Predict. It will let the public know where known diseases in animals are being spread to and what area the disease is in. I think this is a really great idea. I think that if the public was more aware of what was going on, they would take more action to help prevent the spreading of the disease. Predict could change how Americans look at the spread of diseases.
ReplyDeleteI read Talks Fortifey Egyption opposition from the *Oregonian* by David D. kirkpatrick. This article talks about how the protests in Cairo are still going on and that the vice president of Egypt talked with the Brotherhood and there is still no resolution. The protester want the president out of office. Muslim and Christians are helping each other have have mass and prayer time even thought there was a bombing earlier in the month. I think that the president needs to step down because he is not listening to the people and Egypt is suppose to be a democracy.

Mr. Kline,
ReplyDeleteI read an article about Kevin Love, of the NBA, setting the Double-Double record for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The article was titled "Love sets Minnesota’s double-double record". I agree with the article, obviously. The author is just stating facts for the most part. Also, I got the article from The Oregonian's website.

Packers fans enjoy more thrills, chills *oregonian* This is talking about how people are still celabrating the Packers win sunday night.And talking about how cold it was when the celabration started. and how they have not won a super bowl in 14 years.
ReplyDeleteAriel Mead-Fuller
I read "Talks Fortify Egyptian Opposition" from *The Oregonian.* The article talked about how the protestors in Cairo, Egypt are trying to force the president out of office, but countries, like the U.S., are supporting the Egyptian leader to finish his term as to remove any chance of instability in office. I think that he should finish his term, because it would only hurt the country more if the political aspect of it is ruined.

I read, Snow melts, revealing urban detritus and even death" from *The Oregonian.* This article is about the effects of the massive amount of snow that happened in New York this January and about what left overs were found when the snow melted. There were tons and tons of garbage under the snow and two bodies were found. The bodies were both found in cars and one of the bodies was reported missing a week ago and had a bullet wound. Forces of nature can be fun, but in some cases dangerous and a hastle, this is why we need to take precautions under extreme weather conditions.

I read "Yoga’s Stress Relief: An Aid for Infertility?" by Cathrine Saint Louis. This article is about Kimberly Soranno, and her stress relieving way to cope with infertility. A yoga support group for women who are infertile and cannot have children has been started at the New York University Fertility Center. They channel their emotions into something healthy. Along with yoga they will also talk about their struggles, in an understanding environment. I think this is a great way to handle stress. Being in an understanding and relaxed environment helps when trying to relieve stress.

Chip kelly sais,"That after the players are sorted with, he would offer to dedicate the uniforms to childeren hospitals". Throughout the article.

Spokane mystery has no good solution
ReplyDeleteA bomb placed on an MLK Day parade route raises specters of the region’s racist past
By WILLIAM YARDLEY
NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
In Spokane there was a bomb that was sophisticated and pretty near deadly. No one was hurt in this and no one was arrested. Many people are wondering why this bomb attack happened. I myself am wondering why no one was arrested if it was so bad that death could have occurred, but I am thankful that no one got hurt. Chief Anne said “To me, it’s that God’s gracious hand moved,” This was a bomb of significance that would have caused devastation.” I agree with that statement. About a month later and after the cleanup crew had found the living bomb, they planed a march honoring the Rev.Martin Luther King Jr. while the FBI is investigating it as an act for domestic terrorism.

I read"L.A Stifles Love In Blazers Win" *The New York Times* This article is about how L.A shut down the kevin Love who made the all start team over him. I think that L.A is the best big man in the NBA and should have made the all start team over anybody. He has averaged over 30 pts a game. ALLSTAR!

I read "Danish family said they knew the risks of their ocean voyage" by Jan M. Olsen and Malkhadir M. Muhumed in *The Oregonian*. This article talks about how the Danish family had gone on a roundthe- world journey with their three children and they knew that they had been sailing in the world's most pirate-infested waters of East Africa. They had drawn a pirate plan in case of an attack but they were pretty confident on their journey that everything would be okay. A couple days later their confidence had been misplaced when they ended up sailing right into the pirates arms.
