The article talks about Bush’s last statements to the State of the Union address. One thing he talks about is how we should trust people with money and their willpower will make our economy grow. Then goes off topic and he talks about is the Iraqi forces and how we made a big impact in the year we where there, he also address that people believe we didn’t make any progress. Then Bush goes back on topic and talks about a bill that would extend unemployment befits for senior citizens and also tax rebates. Bush also wants to trust Americans in the housing market and give them the full responsibility of a home ownership.

There is a new temporary flag being used in Iraq is stirring up controversy because the Iraqi parliament believed the three stars that represented Saddam's political party on the flag is something they do not want to be reminded when they view the flag of Iraq. But not all the people believe the same as the Iraqi government. Many Iraqi do not see the flag as a reminder of Saddam's brutality but a flag which many soldiers laid down their life for in many wars. One Iraqi said "It's shameful. Thousands of Iraqis lost their lives so this flag could fly.... Changing the flag ignores their sacrifice,." The flag is set to be only used for one year while the decision on what the final flag is going to look like is determined.

(Just for kicks article)
This insane little article was about a rather odd event that occured on Sunday at a diner in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It appears that a woman was walking her pet deer, which may or not be common around those parts, when it escaped from the leash and burst through the window at this diner. Luckily no one was hurt, though many were startled to see the reportedly large doe storm through the scene. Hopefully charges will not be filed against this woman, because at least she was attempting to be responsible by putting her deer on a leash.
No reading strategies were needed, as this was a short article, and rather to the point because of its strange & humorous nature.

This article is about Scotland possibly making a breakthrough in policies pertaining to the struggle of being environmentally-friendly. The Scottish are hoping that their Climate Change Bill will prove to be a better plan than the current proposal being put forth by the UK government. Scotland is very concerned with helping underdeveloped countries by getting all developed countries to take responsiblity for the emissions that have been put out, and to help support programs that would look out for the underdeveloped countries. The goal of the plan is ambitious, hoping to cut down on 80% of the total emissions by the year 2050, 42 years from today. However, with talks of creating adaptation programs in underdeveloped countries to help citizens adapt to a world being affected by global warming, and plans of having officials administer analyses on the impact of the bill every three years, it seems that Scotland is prepared to see the positive effects of this bill through.

This article is talking about all the fighting that is occurring in Kenya and how just in the past few days 100 people have been killed and a quarter of a million have had to flee from their homes because of the attacks on their cities. The people being attacked are mostly the Kikuyu’s which is the tribe with the most power in Kenya. This is happening because Kibaki the president of Kenya was reelected and many tribes didn’t want this because he is also a Kikuyu and he is giving the Kikuyu’s better jobs, more land, and overall they hold the high positions in the government. This article also says that Kenya has been an example for other countries in Africa to follow because they have a good economy, democracy, and many other things that has made the country very successful, but they also say that because of all the fighting occurring in Kenya many tourist will no longer visit Kenya and in turn 500,000 workers will loose their jobs and in turn this will have a bad effect on the economy. Many people also think that a civil war is going to occur in Kenya because these issues have been ignored for a long time, they’ve have always been present but never dealt with. It is being compared to what occurred in Rwanda.
The reading strategies I used were to read out loud and to use context clues to figure out what unknown words meant.

The article informs people about the arresting of three subjects for terrorism in Germany. The police said that they were planning bomb attacks that could have been even deadlier than the bombings in Madrid and London. Monika Harms, federal prosecutor, said that the suspects had a chemical called amassed hydrogen peroxide; the chemical that was used for the explosives detonated in London in 2005. Previous German plots have been far smaller, created by foreigners, or focused not even in Germany, just like the 9/11 attacks, which were hatched in Hamburg in Germany. The United States helped German authorities to track the location of the suspects, eavesdropping on cellphone calls.

The article i read is about the former mayor of New York, Rudy Gulianni. Gulianni recently was in the race for president but after results of the Flordia primary has dropped out of the race. he is now decided to support the main runner of the race John McCain. It was his time to drop out after it was noticed he wasn't getting to much of the people votes during the recent primaries. Gulanni is well known for being the mayor during the time of Sept. 11, 2001. Many people support him just not enough to make it to the white house

Recently, this man who had a custody dispute with his wife, he took his son to an Orange County motel, gave him at least one sleeping pill, doused him with kerosene and set him on fire. The boy survived, but was badly disfigured and had part of his fingers amputated. The man was convicted to attempt murder and arson was sentenced to 13 years in prison. In June 2001, the man was arrested in San Francisco and charged with felon in possession of a handgun. He said he bought the gun for protection after someone had shot him on Market Street in 1995.

The article is about what is causing headaches. They found out that the medication that people take for their headaches are the things that are making it worst for them. They said that in the medication it has chronic migraines in them which will cause for the headaches to happen again. Therefore making the people who take the medication want to take more pills then what they have been told. By doing this all the person is doing is making their headaches even more worst. They said the best thing to do is not take any of the medications.
The only strategy I used was talking to the text in my mind. When was reading the article i had a little side comments about it and was very shocked as well. But I kept all the comments in my mind because I was reading it on my computer.

This article is about where the "Green" process is at. The purchases of hybrid cars doubled in 2006-2007 but that is still only 1% of the total amount of commercial cars bought that year. American companies as a whole are making progress in 8/20 environmental categories tracked in the State of Green Business 2008 study, while losing ground in two categories and staying the same in 10 other categories. The amount of greenhouse gases U.S. companies contribute have fallen by 1.5% but this is deemed insignificant due to the goals of scientists - "According to many scientists, greenhouse gases need to decrease a sky-high 80 percent by 2020," the report said. "At current rates, the U.S. will never get there."

This article is about the war and pulling our forces out. Basically, it is about the slowing down or stopping of the withdrawal of 5 brigades of combat forces in Iraq may allow al-Qaida to regain ground and the security forces in Iraq may disintegrate. Thus causing more violence and bloodshed. Bush left the decision to Petraeus to continue the troop reductions or to put a halt to it. But Petraeus is stil deliberating whether he should halt the reductions or not.
to help me understand this article i basically re-read it over twice.

This piece is more or less an editorial, criticizing the idea of allowing an ex-murderer/ Nazi sympathizer to study medicine at a famed Swedish medical school. This article brings up an unorthodox, yet important ethical question-- Should murderers be able to practice medicine? The author critcizes Swedish journalists who covered the incident, who initially supported the idea of having a convicted murderer practive medicine until they found out WHO it was, specifically. One of the more outstanding points made in the article is most people/jounalists said that they (if under certain circumstances) would go to a convicted murderer for medical treatment, but not send their loved ones.

The article I read was about a detective and a woman and how they forced a 13-year-old girl who ran away form home to work as a prostitute around the city. And they told her that if she tried to escape that they would sell her on the street. Their names are Wayne Taylor, 35, and Zelika Brown, 29, and were arrested on charges of kidnapping, promoting prostitution, assault and endangering the welfare of a child. Both of them could face up to 25 years in prison.
What I used to further understand the reading was to think about and put myself in their shoes.

The crazy Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (what a cool last name; even harder to pronounce than mine!!!) is going to produce nuclear energy by 2009 and destroy Israel. There is some definite hate towards Israel since he called them a "filthy entity”. The other interesting thing is that Russia is actually helping them but in my opinion, it is the right to decision because it is the only way to keep their country safe, since they are surrounded by Muslim countries in the south. I'd say I am a little shocked because I guess there will, in fact, be World War III that will destroy half of the world - but it's going to be on the other side of the world, so it's not really that bad for us, Americans. That is pretty hardcore but on a good side - people will finally start discussing a new topic instead of talking about global warming all the time; plus it spices up the boring situation on our planet with some fear. Wars will never stop, so we might as well enjoy them.
The article was pretty easy to understand, so I didn't need to use any tactics to understand the text.

This text speaks about how former president Bill Clinton damages the campaign of his wife. Some high democrats criticize Bill Clinton’s behavior leading up to last weekend’s South Carolina Democratic presidential primary and now they support Obama and his campaign. The most popular democrats who turned away from the Clintons are Sen. Ted Kennedy and Sen. John Kerry. In that articles there are also some citations from other articles which criticize the Clinton’s campaign. For example a columnist wrote that Hillary’s support in South Carolina is mostly based on the popularity of her husband and not on her own politics and her personality.

This article is about the Australian government’s proposed apology to Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people were severely mistreated since Europeans arrived in Australia in the 18th century, and now the Australian government is planning to apologize for it. The government is however not planning to make reparations, or change any current laws that would help them; they are just going to apologize. The apology will be very important because it will be the first act under the new prime-minister Kevin Rudd. Despite all of the various forms of mistreatment, the biggest thing they will be apologizing for is the assimilation policy the government had throughout the 60’s where they would forcibly take aboriginal children and place them in foster care or with willing white families to try to assimilate the aboriginals with the white people, this policy was abandoned in 1969, but it still has lingering affects today. I like this article because it shows how aboriginals are kind of like Native Americans and African Americans because they were forced off of their land, and were not given the right to vote until 1962. Also there continues to be racial tension because, like African Americans today in America, Aboriginals are faced with lingering issues of inequality, and because of the bigotry against them, they have an average life span of 17 years less than a white Australian and are also 3 times less likely to be employed.
I did not need to use reading strategies to understand this article; however, I did use the “wikipedian” strategy of following links embedded in the page/article to find out more information on topics that branch out from this.

This article appeared in the Guardian on Wednesday January 23 2008 on p11 of the UK news section. It was last updated at 23:43 on January 22 2008.
Britain has become a significantly more tolerant nation over the last 20 years, with increasingly liberal views on marriage, relationships and same-sex partnerships, according to research showing that the heterosexual married couple is no longer at the centre of UK life.
The British Social Attitudes report, conducted annually since 1983, reveals both dramatic social change around family life and a widespread acceptance that traditional structures and life patterns are being eroded.
However, it also shows that some traditional norms endure: adulterous sex is still as strongly condemned as it was two decades ago - 85% say it is always or mostly wrong - and people are more wary of alternative family arrangements where children are involved.
The latest report, based on more than 3,000 interviews with a random, representative sample of people in 2006, offers a picture of a fast-changing landscape of relationships and living arrangements, including partners who do not live together, unmarried, long-term cohabitees, "reconstituted families" made up of previously divorced parents and their stepchildren, and a rise in solo living.
The Victorian notion of marriage as the "socially accepted and religiously sanctified means of having sex" has vanished, says the study: 70% of people think there is nothing wrong with sex before marriage, compared with fewer than half (48%) in 1984. Cohabitation and marriage have become effective equivalents in the minds of most: two-thirds of people believe there is little difference between being married and living together, and only just over one in four (28%) think married couples make better parents than unmarried ones.
Views are somewhat more evenly balanced where children are concerned: three in 10 people think it should be harder for couples with children under 16 to get divorced, though four in 10 disagree. Four in 10 people believe one parent can bring up a child as well as two, and a similar proportion think two are better than one. Nevertheless, support for divorce is strong: almost two-thirds think it can be a positive step towards a new life, and over three-quarters think it is not divorce that harms children but conflict between their parents.
The past two decades have seen a revolution in attitudes towards gay and lesbian partnerships, the survey shows. Fewer than one in five now believe homosexual relationships are always wrong, while half regard them as rarely or never wrong.
The public is more divided on the issue of gay men and lesbians becoming parents. Just over a third believe a lesbian couple can be as good parents as a man and woman, and just under that proportion think that a gay male couple can be as good parents.
Prof Simon Duncan, co-author of the study, said: "The heterosexual married couple is no longer central as a social norm. But ... children seem to hold a particular position in people's attitudes to family life. When they are involved, alternative family arrangements are seen as less acceptable."
The report reveals that people remain ill-informed about the lack of legal protection afforded to cohabiting partners, with half still wrongly believing there is such as thing as "common law marriage". Public support for legal reform - being considered by the government - is strong, with 90% arguing that a long-term cohabiting partner should be entitled to financial provision on separation if children are involved.
The division of housework is one area where behaviour is lagging behind liberal attitudes. Over three-quarters (77%) of couples say the woman usually does the laundry, little changed since 1994. Two-thirds of women say they do the cleaning, yet only 54% of men say this of their partner.
Main points
· In 1987, 75% of people thought homosexuality was always or mostly wrong. Now 32% take this view.
· People are generally more tolerant, but 36% think measures to promote equal opportunities for black and Asian people have gone too far.
· Only 20% of graduates regularly read a quality newspaper, compared with 50% in 1986.
· The decline of print readership has not been taken up by the internet. Among those who do not read a paper regularly, only 3% regularly consult a newspaper website.
· Since 2002 the views of Labour supporters have become less leftwing, with fewer wanting the government to redistribute income to the poor. The values of Conservative supporters have changed little.
· Two-thirds of young public sector employees "strongly agree" that their job is useful to society, compared with 14% of their contemporaries in the private sector.
Britishness
Gordon Brown's choice of Britishness as one of the defining themes of his government may be out of tune with the popular mood, the report suggests. It found that people in England are substantially less likely to define themselves as British and more likely to assert an English identity than 15 years ago.
In Scotland, the proportion of people claiming to be British rather than Scottish is now only 14%. The study found that "only" or "mainly" British has fallen to 13% in England and 3% in Scotland.
But there was only a weak connection between people's feelings about national identity and devolution. Only 28% of people in England, who defined themselves as English, thought an English parliament would be the best way to govern England.
Environment
Nearly half of Britain's drivers say they could use their cars less often to help save the environment. About 80% in the survey think the current level of car use in the UK is having a serious, detrimental effect, and 66% say everyone should respond by using vehicles less frequently.
Nonetheless, a hard-core minority of 23% - which includes many high-mileage drivers - insist that people should be allowed to use their cars as much as they like, even if that damages the environment. And there is less consensus about how easy it is to cut car use for short journeys.
But there is widespread concern about the impact of cars on climate change. The survey found 45% of drivers claiming to be willing and able to find other types of transport. Another 12% were able to use the car less, but unsure whether they were prepared to do so. And 18% were willing to cut back - but unable to do so for lack of public transport or safe routes for walking or cycling.

I think this article is really interesting because I have to wonder what the difference is between our societies that make Britian seem to be going along this path of common sense. In our country it seems so hard to get anywhere in terms of mutual understanding especially in the realms of the idea of families, sex, relationships, sexuality, etc. I wonder if it's our leadership or our system that makes it so difficult to advance on that forefront. I think it's really fascinating that the people we've come from directly are beginning to outstep us.

3. Some of the UN peacekeepers have defaced ancient paintings of africa with spray paint. Now the UN is seeking funds to remove the spray paint from the paintings. They spray painted their names amongst other things on the paintings. The local Sahrawi people considered the place, the "Devil Mountain" a place of great cultural significance.

Basically this article is about how john Edwards backed out of the presidential candidate. this is mainly because he finished 3rd behind Hillary and Barack in every contest other then in Iowa. he did this not just because he was 3rd but because he didn't have the funs to support his campaign unlike his runner uppers. also the fact that most people where voting for the other two. so it would be very hard for him to succeed at this point in his candidate.

This article talks about the violence that has recently hit Kenya in the last few months. Before the violence erupted this country was in relativly good shape with a growing economy, a safe democratic government, and a large tourist attraction. The last election is what started all this violence and now the entire country is in turmoil. The people that are suffering the most are the tribes of Kenya as they are being persecuted. In Kenya's third largest city there isnt anymore tribal people in it because they have either been killed or have fleed the country. Peace talks have tried to be conducted but as the article shows the violence has not let it happen.

The article talks about a massive cable in the Mediterranean that was cut and now tons of internet in asia, africa, and other countries is out. The article says that it will take about a week to fix the cable, and these places are going to have no internet until it is fixed. I found it interesting because it documents the turmoil that it caused, and its funny to see how much the world relies on technologies like the internet, and without them it cannot really function.

I found this article on BBC News and it is about India potentially passing a law for marriage HIV tests. If passed, all couples would have to take a mandatory HIV test before getting married. India has one of the highest numbers of people with HIV but awareness is low. The goal is to prevent couples from hiding this, sometimes deliberately, from one another. However, human rights lawyers oppose this potential law because it “forces people to do a test”. Some, most, people just wouldn’t be comfortable knowing or sharing this information. In addition to the couples knowing, people against this law bring up that the results may affect one’s employment or health care conditions.
I reread the parts that I needed clarification in but, overall, the article was easy to understand.

Malaria is a major killer of children in Africa. This disease, caused by mosquitoes has been estimated to kill over a million people a year. The World Health Organization, the WHO came up with a plan in reducing the deaths of children caused by malaria in Africa, and other tropical countries. The WHO distributed simple mosquito nets to keep away the bugs, as well as a new medicine known as Artemisinin to the people of some African countries. It took around 4 years in total to disperse the nets and the drug in the most effective way. Since however, malaria deaths have decreased drastically. In Ethiopia, the number of child deaths dropped 50% and in Rwanda dropped 60% (in only two months). In Ghana the numbers were different. Ghana got less money from the Global Fund and so had fewer nets to give and charged the patients for the drugs. Still, Ghana’s numbers dropped by 42%. Dr. Michel Kazatchkine, executive director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria says, “If we can scale up like this everywhere, we should be able to eliminate malaria as a major public health threat in many countries.”
I scanned things and looked for numbers so that I could just get the general feeling of the article. After that, I read it over seriously (slower) and absorbed more of its content and significance.

3. In Brazil during the Rio de Janeiro Grande festival, there are yearly samba dances with floats and dancers and singers. It is a main attraction that is welcome to anyone. This is a period to have fun and enjoy yourself. One group that was designing a float decided to base there float and dancing off of the Holocaust victims and how this was a horrible period and is should not be repeated. This float was called “gives you goose bumps.” Before the float could go to perform soon, the judges banned it from performing. They said it was done with horrible taste. If they were to perform, they would expect fines for the fake corpses they show and the dancing Hitler’s.
4. One strategy I used to read and comprehend the article was doing background information on the festival and the purpose of it. Another strategy was reading more than one article on this subject to get a wider perspective on the topic.

This Article was a about a float that was made in Brazil. This float was created to depict the Holocaust; it had burning bodies, naked and emaciated bodies. The float was meant to “give people Goosebumps” and show the public the chill and inhumanity of the Holocaust. The samba group wanted to remind the people about the past and to not let things like that happen again. Then the Float was banned from the carnival by a judge. The Jewish community was outraged and the artist said they apologized; the conflict that ensued was done when the float was destroyed.
This was a very straight forward article I didn’t need any reading strategies.

This article talks about the death of Haji Suharto, the former dictator of Indonesia. This is being met with mixed feelings (as any death of a political figure ever is). Some people are saying that he was a crooked jerk that killed hundreds of thousands of people on the pretense that they were with the Communist party, that his information was shoddy and the people were innocent...and others argue that he was a positive force, calling him the 'father of development', talking about his positive influence on Indonesia's economy. It's a pretty standard response to the death of a politician.

My article is about these little islands off the coast of Columbia (in the Caribbean) who have raised concerns and are wanting to declare their independence from Columbia. There is this group of people called the Raizals who are English-speaking ancestors of former slaves. There is a certain attitude that has surrounded these people in sort of a segregation/apartheid kind of way. It is subtle, but as the minority (making up only one-third of the population of the group of islands) people are reduced to digging through garbage dumps, looking for food. Some of these Raizals do not feel the need for independence, citing social security as their cause. Others, like the people who search through garbage to support a family, believe that Columbia is not doing anything for them now- so what would the difference be if they were independent?
I had too look up a few words like "archipelago", which was a big fancy word for group of islands.

3) A US spy satellite could possibly reenter Earth's atmosphere and strike its surface, say government spokesmen specifically monitoring the situation. Reports from Gordon Johndroe, speaking on behalf of the US National Security Council, say that strategists are currently throwing around ideas as to what to do to decrease the satellite's potential harm. Although several similar occurances have happened in the past with harmless results, this does not lower the risk of damage the satellite could inflict. Debates are being held as to either have a "controlled landing" for the satellite in the middle of the ocean, or possibly shoot a missile at it, thereby shattering it into little pieces that would burn up in the atmosphere. Easily the scariest quality of this particular satellite is its containment of a highly hazardous toxin called hydrazine. If this were to hit anywhere near populated areas, the result could be disastrous.
4) One reading strategy I used to interpret this article was becoming familiar with the terms being used, and I also read it aloud to friends to hear their reaction.

3.) This article is about the inflation of China and how it affects the United States. The reasons that China’s exports are rising are due to “souring energy and raw material costs, a falling dollar and new business rules.” So as China’s prices rise, the prices in the U.S. would also rise. In the U.S., from 2006 to 2007 the rate of price increase has doubled. Because most of U.S’ imports are from China and China is what the U.S. rely on for consumer goods, many companies face difficulties with profits and their supply chain.

2)My article was found in the paper, and I asked you if I needed to find a link to it and you said no. 3) In Kenya there is a lot of fighting between some of the different ethnic groups due to the election in December of last year. The Kikuyus are getting very violent and are driving many of the other ethnic groups out, mostly the Lous who were cheering for the opposition, Raila Odinga to the recently elected president Mwai Kibaki. The disputes did not start because of the election some claimed was deeply flawed, but rather decades ago over power and wealth (or the access or living in Rift Valley). Kofi Annan is mediating disputes and Mr. Lone, Odinga’s spokesman says it is important for both sides of the electroial dispute do everything possible to help Kofi Annan’s efforts succeed. Melitus Mugabe Were, a member of the parliament was shot in his drive way on Tuesday. Many have said that he was murdered by the government because he was opposing Kibaki. Mean while the violence between the ethinc groups in Rift Valley is only getting worse. Some call it a ethnic cleansing genocide, but the terms are debated by diplomats. 4) I looked up a couple of words, like incumbent and brokering. And I also related this back to what I have heard before about the electorial disputes in Kenya. I only heard or read something briefly a couple of weeks ago on Al Jazeera news and continued to hear some stuff about violence in Kenya. I didn’t know that they were directly linked together, but just having something to connect this news flash to was a good way to understand the article.

1)The messenger probe sent up to take pictures of Mercury has returned some interesting images. After passing Mercury, it sent images that show a major depression on the surface with over 100 troughs(depressions), which was nick named “The Spider” by NASA scientists. It both shows new information to us about Mercury that we have yet to see, and at the same time confirms many suspicions that scientists have had since the last images taken by the Mariner spacecraft over 30 years ago. The information retrieved today shows the planet to be a lot more “dynamic” than believed before. Scientists have figured out that there are actually volcanoes on the surface, ancient volcanoes, that were at first believed to be just the rocky surface. It is still being investigated and may go beyond the year 2011 due to NASA wanting to send the spacecraft into an orbit around the planet.

Bush held a conference with Cuban dissident in October of 2007, to try to implement a change in their political power. So far, under Fidel Castro’s Communist reign, Cuba has suffered much (specifically economically) and changed little for the worse. Cuba’s government has uses repression and terror to control its people. The Country has also kept political prisoners and hasn’t seen free transparent elections to its people. Many looked forward to a change in the corrupt regime by Fidel’s death; but when he fell ill, he gave his power to his brother Raul. This poses the big problem, of Fidel’s corruption continuing to plague Cuba, which Bush addressed in the conference.

The company that was in charge of the cargo ship carrying 54,000 gallons of oil, that made our way into our bay last november, is now compensating the city of San Francisco for the environmental damage in the form of $2 million dollars.
The timing and the amount of money as compensation don't seem adequate. I'm not sure if Dennis Herra (the cities attorney) is accepting this amount of money as sufficient, but its a little upsetting to me to think of the people that reacted and volunteered their time immediately after the accident being equated with a small sum like that

Fires broke out amongst 5 luxury homes in Seattle. Signs point to it as a deliberate fire and not accidental. FBI officials are looking into the incident as the ELF(Earth Liberation Front) has taken credit for the fires. The ELF has been labeled an ecoterrorist group.
Reread the article a couple of times.
