State mourns three slain Oakland police officers

I read the article "State mourns three slain Oakland police officers". I found it on the Los Angles times website. Here is a link. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-oakland-police-shooting22-2009mar22,0,7435617.story

This article was about the police shooting this weekend in Oakland California. The incident left three police officers dead. One is critical wounded at the moment. The shooter was Lovelle Mixon a parole who violated his patrol and had an arrest warrant for him. I think that this is very sad because it is always bad when cops get killed. I hope that the reason for this gets explained more because it is not very clear at the moment.

Peace Corps suspends Madagascar program, evacuates volunteers due to political unrest

I read the article Peace Corps suspends Madagascar program, evacuates volunteers due to political unrest. I found this on the Star Tribune Website. Here is a link. http://www.startribune.com/nation/41324792.html?elr=KArks:DCiUBcy7hUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUr

In Madagascar the Peace Corps are pulling out their workers because of tensions in the region. The State department recently also issued a travel warning for people travailing to Madagascar. I guess that it is not like the movie at all, Ha, HA. This is important because it fuels tensions in other parts of the world. I hope they get this figured out and the area stabilizes.

North Korea allows stranded South Koreans workers across border amid tensions

This article was about dispute the recent conflict between North and South Korea, North Korea allows The South Koreans in their country to go back to their country. I think that this could quickly trigger war and that could escalate into another world war because of the system of alliances that both countries have. I believe that war would destroy this country even firthur because they would probably institute the draft.

This article was about how the Today show is going to be broadcasting from Dublin Ireland this St. Patrick's Day. For reasons I can't explain I find this to be pretty cool.

So I would you all to watch the today show on St. Partock's Day.

This article is about a court battle between two women one a Muslim militant and one a bollywood star. The militant, Asiya Andrabi, is suing Bipasha Basu because she thinks she is being portraied baddly in her upcoming film. I think this is very interesting because she is right. You should have to sell your rights for them to use you in a film for sure.
