American Indian
2) September 1 , 2010
3) Unknown
4) American Indian tribe joins carp suit
5) Ottawa and Chippewa Indians joins five other states in the lawsuit demanding stronger action to prevent Asian carp from infesting the Great Lakes .
6) My Opinion : Both sides have good argument's about the Asian carps . I think there has to be a better way of stopping the Asian Carps from reaching the Great Lakes . By closing the River off to all traffic , this will force all barge owners to go a longer way around or go out of business .

Google's next frontier: Television
Google will launch Web service via TV. First, will bring the service to U.S. TV screens this autumn and worldwide next year. The service would be free and Google would work with a variety of providers to bring it to consumers. Sony said it had agreed to have Google TV on its TV sets, and Samsung has said it was looking into using the service.
The news comes only a week after Apple unveiled its latest Apple TV product and will intensify a battle for consumer's attention and it's potential of billion of dollars.
The world top search engine is hunting new business opportunities and new technologies in services that make to transform the way consumers access the web.
Google one of the leaders in worldwide web services and one leader would be in vanguard of consumer services. I think it service will be a hit in all the world and people that live in U.S., as We, are fortunate, maybe others companies will have same services later, but Google is Google and also "who hits first, hits two times". I'm anxious for watch internet on TV.
Speeders to take more costly hit

Beginning 9/15, tickets for minor offenses such as speeding up 20 mph over the limit, running a stop sign or making illegal turn will carry a $120 penalty, up from $75, under rates set by the Illinois Supreme Court. The cost of many tickets requiring a court date, like speeding more than 30 mph over the limit, also will go up.
The increase in fines may seem expensive to the drivers but I wish they would do the same thing in my country. Maybe it can stop traffic terror and drivers can be more cautious.
MISSION OVER

By Chicago Tribune
President Obama announces the end of U.S. combat phase in Iraq, speech Tuesday night, acknowledging the "huge price" paid.
He said the "central responsibility" of this presidency would be reviving the economy.
"Our must urgent task is to restore our economy and put millions of Americans who have lost their jobs back to work" Obama said.
And the President Obama conclude "The Iraqis people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country".
More than 4.400 U.S. soldiers died, and 30.000 were wounded. Thousands more Iraqi were killed.
>My opinion: I think that is time to finish the war because this country needs to change this face, and reconstruct the economy, is time that many people back to their jobs.
Now is more important to see our problems and find solutions.

EAT PRAY LOVE
"Eat Pray Perform Disgusting Sex Act" by Stephen Markley
The author makes a review about the new Julia Roberts's film "Eat Pray Love", a movie based on a book write by a Chicago's Writer, in which Stephen Markley desagree with the erotic scenes; He says the scenes are supremely depraved and He compares this movie with "Sex and the city 2" and the "The time traveler's wife" also He says that only will go to see that movie if Jessica Alba or Olivia Mum of "The Daily Show" put that condition for go out with Their.
I hadn't seen the movie "Eat Pray Love" yet, but I think it's an interesting film because Julia Roberts is a great actress and I don't think that She needs to make erotic scenes if She is not sure that the movie will be a hit. Thanks about this articule I'm sure that I want to see the movie and I would like to see it with my wife, not with Jessica Alba neither Olivia Munn.
