giving paper airplane presentations as a way to teach kids (and adults) about the basics of flight, and I believe it has worked well. I think education should be hands-on and fun, and paper airplanes accomplish both. What I didn't expect were the other lessons learned from paper airplanes. The process of following directions teaches an important skill in itself, and rewards patience and persistence. Paper airplanes also provides a launching point for other topics of science (fluids, flight in nature, physics, ...), history of flight, flight physiology, ...
Naturally I recommend both of my books:
The World Record Paper Airplane Book - Best for ages 10 & up, and includes:
- Basics of flight
- How to make and throw paper airplanes
- Flying activities indoors and outside, including the basics of soaring flight
- How to organize and run a contest (a contest is a great way to reinforce the lessons of how to make and fly paper airplanes).
Kids' Paper Airplane Book - Best for ages 6-12, and Includes:
- Basics of flight
- How to make and throw paper airplanes
- A guide for how to recognize real airplanes at the airport or as they fly over
- Flying activities and games indoors and outside
- Paper airplane contests (a contest is a great way to reinforce the lessons of how to make and fly paper airplanes).
- How to make a paper airplane perform stunts (loops, circles)
this is my information for aiplanes _Baileysss

Weekly Science Report #2
I got the article at a website called sciencedaily.com. The article is about a gas terminal in Mexico fifty miles away from the border. The United States is complaining that the gas is polluting the air because once the gas is processed at the terminal it has higher levels of the chemicals that produce nitrous oxide witch contributes to the ozone pollution. The technology of making the gas cleaner exists but they don’t want to pay the additional cost. I think they should pay the money because the ozone layer matters more than money. It interests me why they wouldn’t want to pay money, I mean I don’t like to spend a lot of money but do you really want to die!? My question is what was in the gas that made it worse. I want to know more about gas and what is in it.

Weekly Science Report #2
The name of this article is called New Dinosaur Species Found In Montana. The website I got It from was http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/09/070924104611.htm.The authors of this article are The Montana University.
This article is about a new species of a dinosaur that had been found. Nobody knew what it was until 24 years after they discovered the dinosaur skeleton. It took someone who really knew about this, far more than an expert. This dinosaur was not recognized at the immediate moment it was laid eyes on at. The species it came from was the Cerasinops but it was just one variable that kept it from being put in a species category. The dinosaur wasn’t horned.
I thought that the article was very interesting. It contained a lot of facts that were surprising. Such as how the dinosaur Cera had horns but yet this was that species but it wasn’t horned. I absolutely loved the article.
What had really surprised me was that it took these archeologists 24 years to find out what the heck it was. Another thing that mostly surprised me was that the Cera (Nickname) species are horned but this dinosaur was not yet it was still that kind of species. Jack Honer was the one who discovered the dinosaur in 1983;he found 80 skeletons in that week before discovering that strange dinosaur..
I really don’t think I have much questions of this article for the reason that this article was just so developed and written. Although I have to ask why the writers didn’t put in information of why the dinosaur was not horned although it was the species of Cera.
SLUGS AND SNAILS
This article is called “Slip Sliming Away” by Emily Sohn. I got this article from www.sciencenewsforkids.org. This article is about how the slime and movement of the slugs and snails and how we they can help us videotape and get throw the smallest places to record and send important messages. I think that this article was very interesting and kind of gross. I think it’s amazing the way that the slugs can stick to any object and how they’re on leg moves. The movement is like a wave and, that they have bands that move there muscles that lets them move to place to place. If I could ask one question to the author is why to slugs burn when you put salt on them? One thin that really surprised me was how they got footage of the bands the back of the slug. Overall I really enjoyed this article and would recommend this to lots of people.

Science Article Report
Science Panel Calls Global Warming ‘Unequivocal’
By Elisabeth Rosenthal and Andrew C. Revkin
From The New York Times web page, February 2nd, 2007. The subject of this article global warming and how humans are making it worse and how global warming has become worse since 1950. The article is also pointing out that humans need to stop pretending that global warming does not even exist.
When I first read this article I was very surprised that some people didn’t even think that global warming was real. But then I thought that they probably did they just didn’t want to face the problem, which is strange because if we don’t face it soon, we will all be drowned. The reason I know, that they know there really is global warming, there are too many facts proving that it is real. For example, around 1950 there have been many more vehicles than before. So all of the gasoline that we use up, must be contributing to global warming. The article also said that the United States was one of the greatest contributors to global warming. That is logical because The US is definitely a very developed country, so we probably use up more gas then many other countries.
My article is from a website called www.sciencenewsforkids.org. The article is Lessons From a Lonely Tortoise, by Bryn Nelson.
This article is about the many species in the Galapagos Islands that are in trouble, especially the Pinta tortoise. Over the last few centuries, fishermen, pirates and settlers have brought goats to the land. They are eating up all of the grass and food that the tortoises need to survive. Scientists are now trying to find ways to help save the Galapagos tortoises and other native species of the Galapagos Islands.
I really like this article. I always want to learn more about how to save the environment and animals because I am a huge animal lover. I think that this article really explains about what is happening to the native Galapagos animals in a simple straightforward way. The vocabulary is easy to understand.
I think that it was very surprising that part of the reason tortoises were dying out was because of goats. What is happening is that goats are eating up all the grass and trampling over other favorite tortoise foods. The tortoises are left with nothing to eat. Murals painted on walls in the Galapagos Islands say, “These introduced vertebrate animals are a menace in the Galapagos.” There is a picture of a rat, cat, dog, pig and goat next to it. They are some of the most destructive new animals of the Galapagos. I am happy that people know what is going on and are trying to stop it.
I got a little bit confused about the DNA part. I would like to know a little more about how people can help save the tortoises. I think that if people really put an effort into saving endangered species like the Pinta tortoise, we can help.
The article that i read is called, 'When space Age Blasted off, Pop Culture Followed. I found it in the New York Times by Randy Kennedy.
This article is about when scientists started to look more and more into space and what space was and how it influenced the beginning of American popular culture and art. From movies and television to architecture and design.
I thought that the article was really cool because it made me realize where architects, designers and movie producers got their ideas. A lot of the modern architecture is based on space and what was discovered in space. The Architecture that was based on space’s features are normally on motels, diners and gasoline stations even some houses. The work of architects such as John Lauter transformed the look of cities and highways with swept wing like roofs, domes, satellite shapes and starbursts. I think that this is really interesting because some architecture’s get their ideas from space and put it onto buildings without people even realizing that those designs came from space. Many movies of the 20th and 21st century have been based on space such as the hit, A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrik. From him to be able to direct/ write that movie he had to study space, along with other movie producers and designers. If scientists had not looked into space so deeply the Popular Culture of America would be very, very different. I would like to learn more about how space ties into fashion design, when I read that space influenced some fashion designers ideas it surprised me because I never thought of clothes in that way, and how space had to do with some peoples ideas to design clothes.
Weekly Science Article Report
Period 3
I found this article in the New York Times in the September 22nd issue in the National Report section.
The article I used is titled, “Failure of Vaccine Test is Setback in AIDS Fight.” It is about how Merck, the company who makes the vaccine, stopped test vaccinations on Friday because testers were becoming infected.
I thought this article was really powerful because it shows how AIDS is such a hard disease to cure. Scientists keep thinking they’ve found cures but it turns out that they don’t actually work.
I was really interested in how H.I.V. is unlike any infection for which scientists have invented a vaccination. Something that surprised me is that out of seven hundred and forty nine people tested, there were twenty-four cases of serious infection, and twenty-one cases of minor infection.
I would like to know more about AIDS, how it takes over the body, and its side effects. How many people die of AIDS each year? Will scientists and doctors ever make a discovery that will cure AIDS forever?

My article title is dealing with threatening space rocks. My article talks about astroids hiting earth. NASA is trying to find a way to spot the dangerous rocks before they hit earth. NASA plans to launch two phases to prevent this from hapaning. Phase 1 is puting a spacecraft in orbit to watch the posible astroids. Phase 2 another spacecarft would slam into the astroids and push them off target. How would we know if it will work? How much will it cost?
Weekly Science Article
Migrating Birds may ‘See’ Earth’s Magnetic Field
I got this article online at MSN.com, it is by Ben Hirschler. A current news article states that migrating birds may be able to see the Earth’s magnetic field which they use as a compass to guide themselves around the globe when they migrate. They say that specialized neurons in the eye, that are sensitive to magnetic direction, have been shown, for the first time, to connect a brain pathway to an area in the brain of birds, responsible for the vision that picks up the magnetic field.
I thought this article was very interesting because I am really interested in animal behavior and how they do things and I think that it is just awesome that birds can see the earths magnetic field and it helps them migrate. I thought this article was a little bit confusing to understand, but after I read it a few times, I understood it better and really enjoyed it. I thought this article was really well written and really pulls you in.
This article interested me because I really enjoy learning about animal’s behaviors, as I said earlier, and how they do things. This article really proves that every type of living thing has a different way of doing different things. For instance, we get around by map or brain power but birds use the magnetic field to do so. What surprised me in this article was how smart birds must be and how they actually can use the magnetic fields as a compass to guide themselves wherever they want to go. Its really suprising how they have magnetic senses in their eyes which guides them toward their destinations.
I have questions about this article like how do scientists find out that birds use the magnetic field as a compass? How do they prove this theory correct? I really want to learn more about this topic such as do any other animals use the earths magnetic field as a compass? I want to learn more about what the magnetic field looks like through a birds point of view. I want to learn about this more overall.
Mr. Ardito, I didn't know if we had to post the link of the website, but I can't find the link of mine but I got it at msn.com and it's by Ben Hirschler. Sorry about that! And, when are the three comments due? Write back please!!!! (or tell me tomorrow)
Bye!
Comment One-
'When Space Age Blasted off, Pop Culture Followed'
I thought this report was very interesting because I never thought that houses and citys and movies were influence by space. It's jst really interesting to me because it never dawned on me that these things were influenced on somthing like space. Does fashion design also come from space too?
Comment 2-
'Failure of Vaccine Test is Setback in AIDS Fight.'
This report is sad in a way because it shows that there is almost no cure for AIDS and how so many people have it. It is really interesting to read about though because so many people got infections fom one vaccine. Who are they testing it on? Isn't it dangerous?
Comment 3-
'New Dinosaur Species Found In Montana'
This report was very interseting because I thought they found all of the dinosaur species and it's awesome how people are still finding new life forms on earth. I also wonder why it is not horned even thought it is a species of Cera?
Weekly Science Report
by Pie82
The article I chose was about a new way they can treat depression. The article is called “Happiness is a Warm Electrode” (at www.popsci.com)
The new way they can treat depression is by inserting wires into your skull and electrocuting it with electrodes, and somehow is a way of waking up the brain/treating the disease depression. They specifically talked about one person, Diane Hire in the article.
I thought the article was very cool. I mean it’s not everyday that you read about people getting surgery for depression, and getting wire in their head/brain. I also wanted to keep on reading because it seems like a very risky surgery and it’s a new surgery and you didn’t know if it was going to work out.
The thing that interested me the most was when they but Hire in the fMRI and turned on, and off the electrodes and in seconds, she became depressed, and a perfectly fine human being. Something that surprised me was when the doctor said it would not treat depression completely, that it would not be strong enough if one of her family members died, or something tragic happened. I did not suspect that.
I would like to know more about the incision that they did to her brain/head and what happened to other patients when they got this surgery. Also, I’d like to know maybe if it’s a consistent response, (if it always works or not.) It would also be interesting if they talked more about how sore Diane was after she got the surgery, or if she had a really bad headache.
Here’s the link Mr. Ardito:

Citation - I got “The Jane Fonda Effect” from the New York Times website. The URL is http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/16/magazine/16wwln-freakonomics-t.html?_r=1&ref=environment&oref=slogin
Summary - This article is about the history of how nuclear power was used. It is also about the possibility and the opinions of using nuclear power in the future.
Reaction -
I. I think the article was well written, had a nice subject, and had the right length. I also liked the connection to the film called “China Syndrome”. The title of the article (The Jane Fonda Effect) went great with the theme about nuclear power. I do think that the article spent a little too much time on the politics of nuclear power; as well as the movie story.
II. I was interested in the Ellsberg paradox where there are two urns. The first urn, you are told, contains 50 red balls and 50 black balls. The second one also contains 100 red and black balls, but the number of each color is unknown. If your task is to pick a red ball out of either urn, which urn do you choose? It is said in the article that most people choose the first urn. Another thing I was interested in was the battle between coal power and nuclear power. I was surprised on how much more accidents happen in coal power than nuclear power.
III. I only have about one question: How much nuclear resources are there and how long can we use them?
IV. I would like to know more about the opinions of people and nuclear power. And I would like to know how does nuclear power work.
I got this article from a National Geographic magazine.
This article is about different ways you can experience a heart attcack. It explains how you can get it from genetics, cholestorol, smoking and even stress and drepression , etc...
I thought the article was interesting. It made me want to keep reading and finding out more about the subject.
I was very surprised when i read that stress and drepression can almost triple the risk of a aheart attack!! I was also very interested when I read and saw the diagram of the process of a heart attack.
I think this article is well written and clear on what it is trying to say. I have no qeustions on this article and I have no things i would like to no more about.
Unexpected Archive: Mammoth hair yields ancient DNA! www.sciencenews.org.
Well it's about how scientists might have gathered enough genetic material to allow reconstruction of mitochondrial DNA (of a mammoth).
a) The article was really good. It explained how mammoths hair has be preserved for thousands of years in peoples houses and in where they used to live.
b) When the said "this 25,000-year-old sample from Siberia, may contain enough genetic material to allow reconstruction of mitochondrial DNA." it surprised me so much. They even said that some mammoth hair has more than enough genetic material but they cant use it to get mitochondrial DNA because of all the bacteria and the fungus that has been there so long. It can be removed by bleach but to much bleach can destroy the sample they are trying to clean.
c) Are they able to clone the mammoth by this genetic material??
Well i want to make another article saying more about this topic.

ARTICLE: REDESIGNING CROPS TO HARVEST
FROM: NEW YORK TIMES
SUMMERY: Designing switch grass and corn. For biofuel that will make cars and trains run.
REAFLECTION: I think that it is a good idea that DuPont is using some soybeans as biofuel. In case you don’t know what biofuel is it is supposed to dent petroleum use. Biofuel is ingenious, especially now during global warming. I wonder how they make biofuel from corn, switch grass, and other plants. The people that make biofuel want less lignin because it interferes with turning the plants cell house into ethanol. Lignin is the gene that makes plants stand up right. If they take the lignin out of some plants the plants will cross-pollinate and will be drooping forests and plants. A gene called amylase brakes down starch into sugar to be turned into ethanol (amylase is a little studied microbe). For corn to produce its own amylase gene another gene is browed. The microbe is a composite of three amylase genes. Scientists say that starch won’t make enough ethanol for biofuel also that some amylase induces allergy. If they switch grass they could have 20 tons of it in one year and it brakes down more easily. This article is very interesting and other should read it.

CITATION:OTTER CATASTROPHE? By Bill Sherwonit. The magazine is Wildlife Conservation.
Summary: Sea otters are being killed all around and scientists are linking it with the bacteria Streptococcus infantarius ss coli to many sea otter deaths since 2002.
Reflection: The article is about how some guy and his friends went to Cook Inlet, Alaska about 180 miles southwest of Anchorage. While they were there they found two sea otter skulls and a few bodies. They contacted the F.W.S. (Fish and Wildlife Service) when they got back from their trip. The article is also about what sea otters do for the envirnment. I think this is what the article is about because that’s pretty much what it says, only the article is in more detail.
The thing that interested me was what was killing the sea otters. I wasn’t really interested in the peoples trip but it’s is weird that the sea otters are dying from Streptococcus infantarius ss coli. I don’t understand how the disease can spread so far.
It surprised me that sea otters are considered by scientists to be keystone species because they hold down the number of sea urchins. That’s important because otherwise the sea urchins would laid waste to kelp beds that provide food and shelter for different kinds of animals like crabs, birds, and marine mammals. It also surprises me what the bacteria does, it spreads through the blood and it leads to inflammation of tissues lining the heart valve. This leads to paralysis and almost certain death.
I don’t have questions because this article explains all I really need to know. I don’t really want to know anything else except maybe for what they’re doing to try and stop it, if it is stoppable.
dear xoxopurplepantherxoxo
I thought that your article was really good. I was just wondering of what you thought of the article, in your reflection?
~chopsticks
-dance4peacexo
i think its amazing that birds have their own way of telling directions, plus it uses what the earth already has, its magnetic force. Maybe next time you could make more of an ending.

My article is called Arctic ice cover drops 23 percent; I got this article from ScienceDaily.com. The article is about how the Artic is shrinking from the heat and pollution, and how the artic has shrunk 23 percent since the last two winters. I liked the article, and reading that article made me realize how fast the artic is shrinking and that we should do something about it before it’s too late. What surprised me most about that article was that between winter 2005 and winter 2007, the Arctic's perennial ice cover shrunk by an area the size of Texas and California combined. The one question I have is what effects the artic the most?
-THiNKPiNK21
-Pie82
I really like how you explained exactly how the surgery went. Next time you should probobly say who the surgery was performed on at the beginning of the story.
-greenmango
-chopsticks
i think its really cool how space inspires architects to make different designs. Try not to repeat yourself so much
-GreenMango
COMMENT 1-
Pie82 the title of your article really catchy, I see why you picked it. I’ve never heard of surgery for depression or that happiness is a warm electrode, but what do the wires do other then send out electrodes? Would it be possible that the surgery could affect her mentally?
From,

Dear Thinkpink21,
Your article sounds interesting to me because I am very interested in Global Warming. Your responce was nice, but next time try to expand your questions, and reflections more.
-Pie82
Dear Mo-Zman,
Your article sounds very interesting and sounds like something I would like to read. Maybe next time you should explain more about the article because I don't know much about it.
Dear xoxpurplepantherxox,
I really liked your report. You said a lot of your opinions and was very well written. If I had to give you one suggestion I would say explain more about the problem (the gas and the ozone layer).
To dance4peacexo,
I thought your article was written clear and was very interesting. Next time though try to make a better ending.
-THiNKPiNK21
To josereyes,
Your article was short but interesting. Maybe next time though work on your response.
-THiNKPiNK21
To Pie82,
I really like how you explained a lot of detail on how the surgery went. Next time you should probobly also say were the surgery took place and who performed it.

Comment # 1 for ThinkPink21-
Dear ThinkPink21,
I think the article you chose was catchy and cool but I think that you could have been more detailed with your report. You looked at the broad idea and didn't give much detail or information.
KK-DuH!95 out but still on computer :)
Dear bolgname,
Your article sounds very interesting but as you said, the article was more detailed and (No Offense), you were too lazy to list some of those details. Sorry!!!:I
DuH!95
Comment #3 for potatopotahto
Dear potatopotahto,
Your report was very developed and very detailed. I don't think I have much criticism but there is one thing I would like you to improve just a tiny tiny itibity bit; for you to organize your article better.
ttyl-DuH!95 0ut but still on computer :p
Dear Mr.Ardito
These comments we have to do are due on Wednesday rite?
C.B. plZZZzzzZZ k thnx
Dear MO-ZMAN,
I thought the article you choose was really cool, but next time, you might want to try spell check
Garbage can
I liked your article and thought that cloning a mammoth would be cool. I think you could add some things like, where the mammoth hair was found, and also what some of the words like mitochondrial means.
duh!95
I agree that it's weird that it took them so long to find out what it was, I also wonder why it doesn't have a horn. What were some of the other facts you said were surprising though?
COMMENT 3 –
Dear rocker your article sounds really interesting but also it also sounds like you are leaving out a lot of info. Half of your response is explaining where you got the article and stating a couple of facts, but not what you thought of the article. You should write more next week.
From,

dear duh95,
i think that it is really weird that it took them 24 years to figure it out and i think that ur report would be better w/ more about how you got the article.
dear xoxpurplepantherxox,
i think that ur right about the cost and that they should spend the money because this is where we live and that we should try to preserve the earth as ong as we can.
MO-ZMAN i think that u picked a good topic. I have had deaths in my family from heart attacks. one thing that u should have done was say i u have had any experiances on heart attacks
My Article is called “Sleep Deprivation” and I got it from the website How Stuff Works.
My Article is about sleep and what it does to help you. First it tells you about what would happen to you if you went a night without sleep, then 2 nights, then 3. It tells you what would happen to you without sleep and then it gives you a list of why you need it.
I loved the Article. I thought it was really well written and I learned a lot more about sleep than I already had. I thought the article was really well written and easy to understand for all ages. I would like to know more about dreams and how dreams work but the article was really well written.

Dear xoxPurplePantherxox,
Itotally agree with you that they should spend the extra money to make the gas cleaner and help our ozone layer. I thought your article was well written but next time you should try and define your paragraphs more.

dear blog name
that is a really cool article and I'm wondering all the same things you are. I didn't know beforevthat sea otters are such an important species, vut its really sad that all of them are dying. Your Article was really well written, but next time maybe make the summary a little longer.

Dear Greenmango,
I really liked your report and
this report is sad because it shows that there is almost no cure for AIDS but it is really interesting to read about because so many people got infections fom one vaccine. Next time, I think you could have more description in your summary.
-dance4peacexo
To- xoxpurplepantherxox
I really liked your article and I think that you are right about the ozone layer being much more important than money. I think that you could have put a litle more detail into what your thoughts were about the article.
-potatopotahto
To- rocker
I think that the article seems really interesting. It's really cool that they ight be able to help us film things. You had a couple typos, so i think that if you just read over your work once it would be perfect!
-potatopotahto
To-greenmango
I really liked your review! It was very well organised. I got a little confused when you mentioned HIV because I thought that the article was about AIDS. Was it about both?
comment 1: to rocker
I think that the article is really interesting. To know that slugs and snails can help us film is weird and cool. You had a couple of spelling mistakes u might wanna think of re-reading your work before you do anything (if you write something).

comment 2: To xoxpurplepantherxox
Your post is really good, I agree with on the money over death thing. You had one typo, but other than that the article is fine.
-R3gr0wth
comment 3: to greenmango
Your article was good. Its well organized and interesting that people actually got infected by testing the vaccine. I'm going to ask the same question as potatopotahto because u mentioned H.I.V. so I didn't know if it was about AIDS and HIV.

xoxpurplepantherxox
I agree i wonder why they don't ant to pay the money. I think that you could add some more detail on how much gas the terminal is putting out.
Dear Tall Cool One,
The article you wrote about sounded really cool, but next time could you be a little more detailed.
Dear Dance4Peacexo
I thought that your article was very well written and organized.But next time put in what "surprised" you.
Dear THiNKPiNK21,
I really liked your article because I'm really interested in global warming. THe only thing is i think you could have made your questions a little more detailed.
Dear xoxpurplepantherxox,
I thought that you article was really good, but i thought that you should of put more writing into your reflection.
dear rocker
I thought that your article was really good and interesting, but i think that you should've put what interested you
Rocker, I totally agree with you that they should have said the answer to “why is it when you put salt on slugs they burn.” That would have completed the article. In my opinion I would say that you put too many “ands” in the first sentence.
-Aidan :
Blogname, like you said in your article I bet if sea otters went extinct then a lot of other marine life would go extinct because of what the sea otters do. Does the article say how Streptococcus infantarius ss coli is spreading. Like is it being spread by globel warming and the weather change?
-Aidan :
Thinkpink21, I liked how you said about what the size was of the artic that shrank. Like it was about the size of Texas and California combined. You should also say how much it shrank in the past 10 years or something close to that so you could see if it is getting worse or better.

yeah, its me, and I feel guilty that i've left this to the last minute. Anyway, this response is to "duh!95" (great name by the way).
You chose a subject that I realllllyyyyy like and im am still reallllllyyyyyy mad that it left our school curriculum(hopefuly it will return in our biology classes). I do find it just as strange as "duh!95" does that scientists didnt find out it was a dinosaur for 24 years(even jack bauer is better than that)
the report made by "duh!95" was long and piled with answers and questions, just the way teachers like it. The only critisim i have(your lucky i only thought of 1)is that you churned out a bit too much facts in stead of opinions.
hi, i just posted a second ago, and im going to make my fingers fall off a second time after taking a short brake with halo 3. Okay... let me see, reports reports reports... um ...uhhhh.... oh here's a good one...oh wait never mind its made by some one with the most rediculus screen name... uhhhh...okay HERE we go: a report about a negitive ny times article made by the coolest screen name i have ever seen(except mine of course) AIDS is one of those thing that can be infinitly horrible and yet infanitly delightful for all those companys who sell product(red) things. Except for apple who sell red ipod nanos, trust me those thin red metal sheets don't even look red, and barely sell. Anyway I think the the company Mereck should be a little more careful when fooling around with their fancy shmancy bio vaccines. green mango did a great job with their report EXCEPT(you can dream all you want but face it, you'll always get a critsism from me)when you made that strange question at the end that sounded like a bad cartoon.
by the way that last comment was to green mango
okay bedtime is seeping closer to me as i type this annoying response. This one is for: xoxpurplepantherxox(WHERE DID YOU GET THAT NAME!!!)the owners of the gas terminal are being kind of being jerks about not paying for cleaner gas(did i say "kind of" ? i meant "being a jerk"). "Now I know every body is all scared of global warming and they think the apocolyps is coming but its really not that bad. All you have to do is pick some thing and do it" That comment i just showed came from a comedy show on youtube. If the people who are responsible don't do anything and yet some random person on your computer is, then it tells us somthing
Dengue Fever Surges in Latin America
By MICHAEL MELIA,
AP
I found this article at http://news.aol.com/
I thought the article I read was very interesting. It talked about a disease called Dengue Fever which is a disease that is spread by mosquitoes. In Latin America more people than normal are catching it and some of the people are dieing.
I thought it was a bit weird at how the disease has been around for a while and the countries in Latin America are just noticing it. It sort of shows you how the governments and countries only pay attention to the big things and not the little things that may become big. I thought it was an o.k. article. It wasn’t written very well; when I read a few of the captions from the pictures some of the sentences said the same thing as the captions. It was sort of repetitive like they were trying to fill up space. Besides that it was a good article and it got right to the point and said only facts and quotes there weren’t really any opinions only in the quotes.
It interested me that in some countries like Mexico they wanted to get rid of the mosquitoes that carried it in high tourist areas like Cancun so that tourist would keep coming and would not be scared of the disease.
Some questions that I have are: Where did the disease first originate? Why isn’t there a vaccine for it if people are so afraid of it? Why didn’t countries act earlier on when it was growing?

DEAR THINKPINK21,
I liked your report i think it could have used some more info though. I was really suprised when it said that the artics perennial ice cover shrunk by an area the size of texas and california.
DEAR AIDAN,
I liked your article it was well written. I was suprised to hear that people die from this disease by mosquitoes. I liked the part where you siad that the goverment only looks out for the big things your right they should look for the small things too.
DEAR TALLCOOLONE,
I thought you could of put a lot more in the article instead of just telling us about it. Overall it was okay not one of my favs. Yeah so try to put more info in next time.
COMMENT2-
Dear garbage can it�s really cool that people can reconstruct 25,000 year old hair into mitochondrial DNA. They better be careful cleaning it !
I think you should just end response instead of questioning the reader.
Mr.Ardito this comment did not go thru for some strange reason.

Article: Research on Monkeys Finds Resurrected1918 Flu Killed by Turning the Body Against Itself.
From: www.USAToday.com
My article is about the 1918 Spanish flu. Did you know that the 1918 Spanish flu killed over 50 million healthy young adults? Some scientists took body tissue of a victim to reconstruct the flu to study. This flu now only exists in two biosafety labs in Canada. This flu was the biggest and the deadliest epidemic ever- bigger and deadlier then the bubonic plague! That’s’ pretty big right? This flu spread faster than normal flu. This flu killed its victims by making the body’s immune system go haywire. The body didn’t know when to stop. The victim’s lungs became inflamed then started to fill up with bodily fluids which drowned the victim. In the biosafety lab, monkeys were tested and the experiment was originally to last 21 days. It lasted only 8 days because the monkeys were feverish and had trouble breathing. This was because their lungs were filling with bodily fluids. Scientists say that the same thing happened to people in 1918. The reason they tested it on monkeys is because no other flu can kill monkeys.

COMMENT 1: Dear aidan your article sounds very inter interesting I would like to read it. Dose the government know why more people are getting the disease? I think it may seam like the government is not looking at the small things because they don’t know that the small thing might big thing.
