Wildfires in Ausralia

In Australia they had the worst wildfire just recently. They fire took the lives of 134 people. The fire's were so large that they were visible from space. Several people in arctic of Australia have dies because of the outrageous temperate of 114 degrees. NASA has mad a chart of Australia and saw that there was more blue and red than white in Australia. That isn't good because the blue and the red are a "10-degree (C) differential from normal (white)." And that's not good. Right now Australia is so dry that if just a small spark hits the ground that can cause a huge wildfire. We have wildfires just like this in the U.S in California in the summer all of the time. In my opinion I think that we should all work harder in trying to clean up the earth because the wildfires are caused by global warming and if we help save the earth hopefully there won't be anymore dangerous wildfires such as this one.

New Road Fire

on January 28 in South Brunswick in Kendall Park on New Road was a terrible fire. Mr.Wolfe the owner of the house stated that the fire was started by an electrical problem from one of the buildings. Mr.Wolfe said that the "fire came out of the panel and on to his walls". The fireman from Monmouth and Kendall park said that the fire only took 20 to 25 minutes to clear out they also said that the "fire is not considered suspicious". So the fire was just a cliche with the wiring and wasn't a big problem.In my opinion I think that people in South Brunswick and other places should have monthly checks o there electricity wiring so that it will prevent people from having fires in their homes.

Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton's Life
By:Alfred Rupert Hall
Isaac Newton was a scientist in the 1700s. He investigated the refraction of light by a glass prism. He discovered "measurable, mathematical patterns in the phenomenon of color". He went to the college of Cambridge where he studied mathematics. In 1704 Newton made a theory that white light is mixed with all different colors. Newton wouldn't tell any other scientist what he was doing because he didn't want them stealing his idea. Isaac Newton invented what we know as calculus when he entered Cambridge College. People also know him for discovering gravity. There was a story when Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree he found out about gravity. This story is about an apple that fell from a tree and that is how he discovered gravity. In my opinion, I think that if Isaac Newton never figured out and discovered gravity that we would not know as much as we do know today.

obama's Inauguration 1-20-09

On Tuesday January 20th Barack Obama had his inauguration. When I was watching the inauguration i was so happy because I finally felt that things were going to change and things were going to be better. This was the firs inauguration I first saw and when I saw all of those people thee I was shocked because the news people said that there was around 2 million people thee and that was the most that any one ever at their inauguration. But while I watched it it mad me fell happy and it made me happy to be an American.

Today Barack Obama had to sign important papers to close Guantanamo detention center, shut down secret overseas CIA prsions and lota of other important things like that. Obama also changed the way the U.S prosecutes and question AlQaida, Taliban, and all of the others that foreign fighters who continues to threaten the United states. The president said " The message that we are sending the world is that the United States intends to prosecutes the ongoing struggle against violence and terrorism and we are going to do so in a manner that is consistent with our values and our ideas."

This afternoon president Obama was in a meeting about the war he talked to the top military commanders in the Iraq war right now he asked them " engage in additional planning necessary to execute a responsible military drawdown from Iraq." Obama wants to end the war as soon as possible and he wants to send the troops home but if that hopefully happens it might take a while like around a year. When Obama was talking about his first days of being in office he told people that he would do such things like talk about the war and things that Bush did that Obama wanted to change.

In my opinion I am happy that Barack Obama is president. I feel that he is going to make a difference in the U.S and to me he has influenced all kinds of people to do different and good things. I believe that he will do really good and hopefully fix all of the problems that we are in now. In my life time so far there has only been 2 presidents and I feel that he is the best one that we had in a long time.

Yellowstone Supervolcano and earthquakes

By: James Pethokoukis
January 05,2009 07:03 am

On December 26th from now there has been over 500 small earthquakes in the Yellowstone National Park. Under the park there is a super volcano. A super volcano is ten times worse as a normal volcano if the super volcano would erupt it could kill every one on the earth or states and contents close to it. That is how powerful hat volcano is. Scientist think that a super volcano killed dinosaurs because they found their bones and they had this bacteria on it that the volcano gives of and that is one of the reasons they thought that dinosaurs was killed from it and they know that the volcano can kill a lot of people because they found another dinosaur that had the same bacteria on it so that is why they know that this volcano is big and will harm a lot of people.The Yellowstone park is located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. The volcano hasn't erupted in millions of years so people don't know when the volcano will exploded but what they do know it can be any time soon or another million years.In my opinion I think that they have to keep a close watch and monitor the earthquakes closely and make sure that the earthquakes aren't dangerous and just make sure and tell every one what is happening just to keep everyone updated.

Commensalism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship. It is one out of three types of symbiotic relationships. Commensalism is a kind of symbiotic relationship that one thing benefits from and the other doesn't, such as a bird and a bush. A bird lives in a bush and the bush provides the bird with shelter so the bush doesn't benefit anything out of situation. You can find this relationship anywhere, for instance just look in your back yard and look at a tree or in a bush and you are most likely to find a bird living in it. In my opinion, I think commensalism is important because if the bird doesn't have anywhere to live they won't have a place to protect their children and would probably die.

Barack Obama

For the last eight years vast areas of land have been open to drilling for oil.The Obama administration must fix up the Bush-era and try to save the wildlife in Alaska.Now that the presidential campaign is over, the price of gas has gone down for now . Gas has gone down $3 a gallon so there's no more chants saying "drill,baby,drill"! for gas anymore.
Also, Barack Obama is promising to lower the cost of health insurance for everyone and is hopefully going to get our troops out of the war in Iraq and Pakistan. Obama is also letting the people of the United States keep their health insurance if they wanted to and he would lower it to as much as 2,500 dollars and that is as low as it will get for them. If you don't have health insurance you will have a choice of new affordable health insurance.
Right when Barack is in the office he will give his Secretary of Defense and Military commanders a new mission to take our troops out of the war. Barack Obama was raised by a single mother and by his grandparents. He lived in Hawaii for a little and then he lived with his grandparents in Kansas. In my opinion I am happy that Barack Obama is our new president and is going to be taking over the United States of America and hopefully going to fix up all of the damage that Bush did and finally make every thing better in the U.S. And hopefully he won't spend so much money on nonsense things that we don't need to spend millions of dollars on or things we don't need, and he will focus on us.
