  • Major Miner Operation
  • Chilean miners rescued last month. Their first group and five rescuers tour from L.A. to the U.S. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa greeted them at the hotel. One miner calls Mario Sepulveda and another miner calls Victor Zamora were expressing both the miners, rescuers and their families were excited. There was the first trip for most of those miners and rescuers outside of Chile. Most of them intended to go shopping during this trip.
  • It's delighted to heard the Chilean miners rescued. TV showed their news every day during they were trapped. They didn't give up hope. After 69 days, they see this world again. They are showing us one message,"never give up and never surrender, you will see the miracle."

"Sears Tower Was A Target," Bush Says

Former President George W.Bush, was in town to promote his memoir, said he worries that the 9/11 attacks will become a "distant memory". The New York Times reported in 2003 that a senior leader of al-Qaida told U.S. interrogators the Sears Tower, now known as the Willis Tower, was on at least one list of possible targets for the 9/11 hijackers. Chicago Police at the time downplayed the report.

I am glad that the terrorist did not pick the Sears Tower as one of their targets, I believe that the Chicago Police should have taken the threat move seriously. I believe that the Willis Tower will remain to be on their list. We should take all the necessary steps to keep the city and the United States safe from terrorist.

Britain's Prince William will marry his long-term girlfriend, Kate Middleton. William proposed to Middleton with the large blue oval sapphire and diamond engagement ring his mother once wore as a 19-year-old fiancee of a future king. They will take place in the spring or summer of 2011, 39 years after Charles' spectacular but ultimately ill-fated wedding to Diana.

That's a exciting news, William will be the future of Britain. I wish he will have happiness on his marriage, not like his parents!

Afraid_about_the_Exit_Exam?

We Can Do It
By Rocio Miranda
________I remember the day when Corona explained us about the Exit Exam. I was afraid about it, and I'm sure that some of my classmates feel the same. I was thinking about everything we learned this semester and I realized that It doesn't matter to get an A, B or C. which It matters is our personal progress in our English skills for example: whenever we talk in English we won't have the same misstakes than in the past. We really improve our writing as well. I think every single student have learned many things in different areas (writing, grammar, pronuntiation,etc). tIt was worthed to do our homwork, spent time and money in order to reach our goal, which is learn and improve our English skills. Considering that most of the students work during the day. In short, I suggest that we shouldn't be afraid about the exit exam. We should be confident of ourselves and show that we can do it. Even if we fail, we would have more knowledge than when we started this English course.

By Reuters Washington

Last Monday evening, a mystery vapor was filmed in California's coast. The image was caught by a news helicopter.

Initial reports said the condensation trail looked as a missile, but 36 hours later of exhaustive investigation, Pentagon and Military Authorities reached the conclusion the vapor was caused by an aircraft.

Comment: More frequently, U.S. military authorities take more attention about suspect movements or appearances because after 9/11 U.S. territory is target or terrorist groups.

   The major change to cigarette packaging in the last 25 years will be print graphic warning labels in package' front. The photos would illustrate the danger of smoking and text saying something about smoking danger.

With this measure, health and human authorities want people know what the risk is consumers are taking. Actually, cigarette packaging require only a written warning.

 Already 450.000 Americans die prematurely from smoking and other 8 million suffer chronic disease. Therefore, the principal goal of the new action is to bring the smoking rate down to 12 percent by 2020.

Comment: Every time, authorities make new measures to try to reduce cigarette consuming, but they aren't enough and every year thousands of people die about smoking. I hope this new measure be efficient and make people aware about risk of nicotine.

A ship with 4,500 passengers and crew members aboard had been disabled for four day at sea. People suffered from access to food, dysfunctional toilet and etc. were finally rescued.

It’s lucky that the location where the ship was disabled was close to U.S. coast and got help in time; otherwise it could be another Titanic. It’s not too bad for rich people if they die this year. In 2010 there is no legacy tax.

Although the way the coach used to safe student from so-called destruction of self was not legal, he was out of his good intention to improve the performance of the basket team. He should get warning or light punishment for his behaviors.

Pay to stay?

The article say that they need to pay to stay also it say that the Cubs owner is seeking for state aid to keep historic Wrigley Field running. The Wrigley Field needs more than $200 million in renovation to ensure the team stays for the next 35 years. Last year the team was bought by the Ricketts family. The family paid for the team $845 million. The Cubs paid $16.1 million in amusement taxes and 12% levy of each ticket. The Illinois General Assembly needs to approval the financing plan. In the other hand on Thursday Gov. Quinn said that he didn’t know about this plan but he doesn’t want to say anything about that. He said, I want to know what they talking about. He said, we like the Cubs, we like the Sox and other sports but I needs more details. In the end of the article Tom Ricketts said “The plan is fair, simple and solve the problem”.
In mi opinion there is a controversy. A team is a team but the city has to approval the financing plan. The city has the majority of benefits from the teams of the Wrigley Field.
