Active

Athletics are becoming more apart of childrens lives. More girls than boys. There have been a record number of girls playing sports nowadays. The standards show its a 1 in 3 difference. But there's a downside. Although girls' participation in organized sports is on the rise, the number of girls staying physically active outside this arena is declining. Both boys and girls face barriers to being physically active, but for girls the challenges are more numerous and complex.

Food on the run

Despite countless warnings in the past years the world economy has hit hard. Wheat corn and rice prices have really gone up. They have more than doubled in the past two years. Economic growth may stop if this all continues to be a problem along with rising oil costs and soaring energy costs. So what are we all to do just sit back and let this all just happen? We really need to do something about this because I know I dont want to have to pay something as outrageous as five dollars for just a loaf of bread.

On the rocks

It is becoming more and more popular for people to make their own brew of a sort rather than going to the breweries themselves but one of the best places to go for a good clear taste is Denver. This is a place with 46 breweries which only produce the drink for their own bars but the biggest one from all around town is the coors breweries. Denver was dubbed the Napa of brews and is the most tourist friendly. There are many other great breweries in the US and all of the world but many of the greatest can be found in Denver. So where else you wat to go?

General meets his match

Senators seemed to be quiet on top of Petraeus and Crocker. If things were going so smoothly over in Iraq then why were they sio reluctant to come home? The senator that was so on top of the two was senator himself Barack Obama. He bombed them with a quiet impressive number of artful questions. He asked two main questions one of which is what we should rather do to sustain the fighting in aIraq and another to why is Iran such a threat to Iraq and yet the leaders get greated with such ease? So what are we really doing over there just fighting or playing little mind games between one another?

Fever pitch

People in China are still going mad over the olympics and where they are taking place this year. Many people dont like anything about the olympics and many are taking it so serious enough that they have made several attempts to try and put out the torch as it has been carried by. Now is it just me or arnt the olypmics supposed to bring us together? The olympics were created to bring people together for the love of sportsmanship but it really doesnt look like thats really happening.

Cult Chaos

The Texas cult is still having problems with the police. Cops still cant really be sure on what to do. The Prophet himself is sitting in prison. All morman of this "cult" have all attended the same church the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS). The way it was ran was rather odd the main focus was with "celestial marriages" (no man with fewer than three wives can attain the Kingdom of God, the FLDS believes). It all deals between religion and law so dont think anyone is sure what can or is going to be done.

First Big Test

Todays people are really not taking up to well to cleaning up the environment. All three Candidates in the presidential campainge run have all taken great issues in the environmentbut mainly towards carbon emissions. In the last three dozen campaigns climate has rarely even been stated. The Senate is preparing to debate climate ligislation. It's way too late for George W. Bush, who delivered a speech on April 16 calling for incentives to reduce carbon emissions but far too slowly and with little to ensure that the cuts would actually happen. So after all this you would think something would be done by somebody to change something with the concern of climate.
