Teen pleads guilty in slaying of former CLTV host's parents
One of two teens charged in the 2009 slayings of the parents of former CLTV talk show host Garrard McClendon pleaded guilty Thursday to the crimes. Gregory Brooks,19 and Reo Thompson 18 years old had been charged with murder, auto theft, robbery, burglary and confinement in the deaths of Ruby McClendon, 76,and Milton McClendon,78, both of Hammond,Ind. Brooks pleaded guilty today before Lake County,Ind, Judge Clarence Murray, authorities said.
I think their parents weren't strict enought on them , they should respect the older. They didn't need to kill anyone, they took what they wanted already, I think they did that should be given the death penalty.

Hey cold, this cough’s for you
A sarcastically man, and his cold. All the symptoms are on point, morning sore throat, and right along with the runny nose. When you start to get it, you have to reschedule your week’s plans. Then when you show up at work, it gets even better your co-workers keep their distance. When you have four or more type of germs you should awful. Being ill is the legitimate reason to stay at home from going to work. Co-workers seem to have fun with the fact that you are sick.
In my opinion when your sick with the cold just drink a lot of medicine, get lots of rest. Make sure to stay warm, you don’t want to make the cold worst. When you’re at work tend to have a box of tissue, and wash your hands often.

Prime-Time Unemployed
Young workers between the ages of 20-24 are struggling to keep a permanent job. It’s hard for them to live independently with this economy going low. Young Americans that start moving out and starting a life, end up moving back in with their parents. Census Bureau figures that coupes are postponing marriage and becoming parents. Young families fall into poverty. With unemployed or underemployed Americans have little hope for paying their mortgages, or buying a house. Most workers see the incomes increase slowly.
In my opinion it’s great to know that young Americans are trying to live independently. But they need a plan first; these young Americans need to learn how to save their money. They need to stop spending money on unnecessary things. When they decide to move out their house, they should consider having a large amount of money in their bank account. That way they wouldn’t worry about not paying so many bills.
Traveling Circus

By Julia Borcherts
Montreal nouveau cirque toupe 7 Fingers started performance at Brodway Play house. Borcherts interviewed with members of 7 Finger about circus life. They described the show pretty action packed. In this show, the seven artists are on stage the entire time and they have to be good at all the disciplines. It makes the show unique. They have life music onstage and they also have cool way of playing with basketball and skateboards.
When i read this article I realized I have never seen any circus. When I was kid i guess my family didnt have time and when i became adult i never think about it. I started to be curious about it. When i read article it looks like fun. When i have time, I hope they will have still show. I' planing to go and see the show. If i miss them I will try to find another circus.

I think some people do these things by the need to support their family, and the lack of current employment

As the Nation fight against the consequenses of the big recession,many groups have allowed bigger late or figure bigger long-term damage than americans in their 20s -damage that could shadow their whole working lives.The chomage for 20 to 24 years old increase more than 17 percent quickly this year.The jobless rate of young adults with college degrees augmente earlier than the older graduates.This happens only in the labor departement.
In summary,each enterprise must give everybody the same chance in the workplace .the governement must create a lot of work to reduce the number of an unemployed.This allows to avoid to some trouble.

AUTO THEFTS SPIKE IN CITY
The Ogden POLICE DISTRICT on the West Side, where Toledo lives, has seen a more than 50 percent jump in auto thefts in the first eight months of the year compared with the same time last year. Auto thefts have spiked almost 23 percent in the first nine months of the years as compared with the same period last year, accoring to date provided by police. He was less sure why theft numbers are rising this year,though he speculated that a tougher economy may have spurred thieves to go after older model vehicles for quick cash. Older models have less complicated door locks and ignitions, making them popular targets for joy riders and those who sell to scrappers.
The economy has a part in it. You still have the professional car theft,he does this for a living, Most of the stolen cars are the older models, they are easier to steal. The newer cars are harder to steal, with their anti-thief systems, like the GM model cars offer on-star. It has a gps system and with the push of a few buttons, they can cut of the vehicle. There is no way to stop a car thief, if they want your car, they will find a way to get it.
BP PAYOUT
oct 30 2010
Author: Reuters
How the oil giant is following up on the largest spill in U.S.history.
BP was committed to waiving the legal cap on its liability from the Gulf oil spill. The company has publicly commited to pay cleanup costs and all"legitimate claims, than apply the cap. BP urged other defendants in the case to waise the liability cap. It also said it reserved the right to seek reimbursement from the other defendants and denied engaging in grossly negligent conduct, which would open the door to potentially huge punitive damages.
How did BP deny engaging in grossly negligent conduct? Its plan to setup the equipments has flaw. BP didn't do it against the rules of the industry. It is responsible for oil spill.
