Today at Virgina Tech, there was a shooting that has left two dead. This shooting was a murder-suicide, leaving a 4 year veteran campus police officer dead, as well as the gunman. The school has had strong fears of school shoooting. in 2007 the was a shooting that left 32 people dead and many injured.
Virgina Tech is in shock after today's events. This has to be one of their worst fears, having this shooting happening after this school has had known the violence of people. The shooter gave no motive for violence, he watched as the officer was directing traffic, and walked toward him and shot him dead. police are still investigating what the cause of the shooting, and if it just the officer and the gunman, or how many more are involved.

http://news.yahoo.com/anti-wall-street-protesters-dig-against-police-054221744.html
This article explanes the growing protest of the awful economy that we are currently living in. This is also telling about how the police are constantly being called in to help out to stop the protesting the is being done. The protesters are camping out by the hundreds and this is causing a problem for many that live or are around that area. So in order to stop this problem authorites are constantly monitoring these areas and looking for problems to kick these people out. Yes, problems have been found but, the protesters will not be going anywhere for a while.
Increasing tenson is growing between the economy and the Anti-Wall Street protesters. The latest Portland prostest showed that example of all of the built up anger that everyone is harboring at the economy. However, unlike the norm like myself I am not out there protesting and getting arrested, but I do understand how someone can be feed up enough to start fights and rebelling so badly that the police is using tear gas to hold a crowd back. In my opinon this is the beggining of the end for the economy, but I have hopes that some new economic solution will come out of this.

Week 12
What would you do?
If someone were to cut me in line and had won $500 from that, I would be mad and deserve that money. First of all i would not let someone cut me in line, and if i did I really do not know what i would do, I certanly would ask the person for a cut of the money. If the person didnot share I might throw a fist but, when and if it happens we will see. However, from watching that clip I will never let someone cut ever.

Week 11 post
(Reuters) - Like a lot of companies, Veridian Credit Union wants its employees to be healthier. In January, the Waterloo, Iowa-company rolled out a wellness program and voluntary screenings.
It also gave workers a mandate - quit smoking, curb obesity, or you'll be paying higher healthcare costs in 2013. It doesn't yet know by how much, but one thing's for certain - the unhealthy will pay more.
I believe that this is a good thing to do for the insurance companies. They will benifit with extra money comming in as well as, Americans will have more of an insentative to get off their lazy but and get into shape. this can also be good for smokers, people say smoking is one of the hardest habits to break. However, with this new plan many will stop their habit and start to live healthier.

This article says that Moammar Gadhafi is dead. in my opinon the world will be a better place without him, and Libya can be free of his dictatoship. It is now our resposibility to help out the country and to better them in government and in democracy. As americans it is our place to help out those who are in need, as well as the responsibility of the entire world.
