North Korea asking for it?

Today, Tuesday march 26, North Korea just warned South Korea and the U.S.A. That they have aim at those two countries with their rockets. North Korea has planned to take aim at millitary bases on the U.S mainland Hawaii as well as Guam. These bases have been put on the highest alet that they could be put on. South Korea aslso is on high alrt to recieve an attack from North Korea. All this is supposively all just to gain millitary credidentials for North Korea's new leader Kim Jung Un. I dont really think that North Korea would actually act on this because if they would, they would be taken right off the map.

Prison head shot!

Tuesday night the head of Colorado's prison system was shot and murdered. Tom Clements  who was 57 was the cheif for 2 years in Colorado and was the number 2 man in missouri for over 30 years. 
the shooting took place at his house on the eve of the gun control signing in the state. Police say that the shooter had to of gone out of its way to do the job because tom lived in an isolated part of the woods off the main road. there hasnt been a suspect named yet but there was a witness that saw a car right away. i would have hated to have that job because that is just scarey!

Hindenburg finally figured out?

The Hindenburg blimp blew up on May 6, 1937 and they just not think they found the reason that it happened. Researchers say that the German dirigable exploaded due to static electricity. Seventy-six years ago when it was landing in New Jersey it blew up and killed 35 of the 100 passengers and workers on board. The Hindenburg was supposed to blaze a path for trans-Atlantice Flight. But when it blew up it obviously wasn't the future that people wanted. This interested me because when i took transportaion class earlier this year we talked about this. Hopefully it was only due to static electricity and the research was correct.

Rodman in Korea

Former NBA standout Dennis Rodman is in North Korea as a spokesman for bringing the Harlem Globetrotters there to play some basketball. Dennis is the wrong canidate to send there i feel because of his track record. He is known for his crazy hair, piercings and his terrible attitude and personallity. But if he gets the globetrotters there it will be a win and hopefully he can come out of the country alive.  Dennis played many seasons in the NBA and has written his own book which he came in a dress to a signing event. Dennis Rodman is a crazy human being!

First in 600 years!

Pope Benedict XVI is resigning from being the pope effective February 28. The pope is 85 years old and he is resigning due to the fact that he is aging and his health is declining. He feels that he can no longer do his duty of looking over over 1 billion Catholics. He was the first pope to resign since 1415 when Pope Gregory XII stepped down. The Catholics will have a new pope before easter, which is March 31. There isnt a leading canidate to replace the pope but the Catholic community is working hard to find a replacement.

no mail on saturdays?

The u.s. post service or the mail is planning on cutting out saturday mail routes to cut down the cost. this plan would save the agency 2 billion dollars. it is going to be annouced today according to fox new and will bevin effect starting in August. the service has been struggling with money and has raised the mail prices over time including a penny raise lately. Research shows that 7 out of 10 americans approve of the move. Packages will still be delivered 6 days a week because packages have gone up 14% since 2010. i think this move is decent and in 20 years i feel there will be no mail system it will all be email.
