My Report

Hi, This is Maria Medley from Weblogger.com.

I am reporting Baby 81 Verdict:

     There was a baby identified from the Tsunami which happened around the Indian Ocean.  They called him baby 81 because he was the eighty-first baby who was brought into the Sri Lankan Hospital.  In Sri Lanka they identified the baby 81's parents. They found out by doing a DNA test.In the Sri Lankan court they announced that the DNA tests of baby 81 which matched to the couple Jenitha and Murugaillai Jeyarajah who fought for him in court.

     At first,they didn't believe the couple they thought they just wanted publicity but the couples didn't give up their baby. They fought hard for their child and they finally got him. They are now living happily ever after with their baby in their arms.

This is Maria Medley signing off. Come back soon to the Weblogger.com

Tsunami News

Did you hear about the Tsunami? If you didn't it was a very dramatic moment. I'm going to talk to you about the Tsunami. A Tsunami is an enormous sea wave produced by an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption; produced by tidal waves; The Tsunami happened at the bottom of the

Indian Ocean.

The last earthquake was 40 years ago. The Tsunami was so powerful that it affects the countries around it. The Tsunami was also so powerful that it moved the earth's axis and it will take a fraction of the Earth's day away. Also the Earth is still vibrating from the powerful impact from the Tsunami. Those are some facts about the Tsunami. The Tsunami affected many people. It left the many people homeless. Many of the people lost their loved ones. Many people died and some people still can't be found. They buried the people who has died and been found to stop diseases. Many people stood in line for food. Many people got shots to stop disease. Those are some facts about the Tsunami  and how it  affected people.

Explain what you would do to help Tsunami victims.

The Saddest Moment Ever!

     Where were you when the world stopped turning for moments and moments? The 9/11 attack is still going on for heart-broken people. Investigators are still searching for clues. It is still changing  America. It happened so suddenly we didn't know what to do. Many people were crying, praying, and at churches praying and crying for the people who lost their loved ones. Those are some things abut 9/11 that are still going on.
     9/11 is bringing problems to the cabinets. Intelligence are trying to make a bill of 9/11, but they are meeting up with roadblocks. The Conservative Republicans say that the bill needed more work. So it stopped the bill from becoming a vote for the House of Representatives. The bill was for the recommendation of 9/11 Commission. It was to stop future terrorist attacks. It was made by Republicans and Democrats, 9/11 Commisson and also President Bush. Those are some facts about problems for the Cabinets.
     The Commission has many recommenations for America. The commisson found out that the U.S wasn't ready for terrorists. The commision is helping the government with 41 recommendations. It is laid out in 2 secions: "What to Do" and "How to do it". The Comission wants to show the world America's values. They also want to express American values in countries where terrorists live. They plan on doing that by broadcasting freedom on television and also giving countries money for education programs. They want to give universal rules to check systems. They want the world to fight terrorists together. They say that CIA and FBI didn't give much information before Septemeber 11. They want systems to give information together and give the same kind of report. Those are some recommendations of the commision.
     The Congress has mahy reactions to the recommendations. The Senate of South Dakota hope for quick actions to the recommendations. He said put security first. The 88 Congressional Committees oversee the Homeland Security Department. The Commission plans to keep speakjng about the recommendations to Congress. Those are some reactions that the Congress had.
     The 9/11 attack was a saddest moment yet. We will always remember the people who died. We will always also give respect to the people who lost their loved ones. The paragarphs above tell about the 9/11 attacks.

Recall some facts about the 9/11 attacks.

Russian Plane Crashes

There is a topic in CNN which a really think is very interesting and mysterious. The topic is about the Russian Crashes. It is very interesting to me because there were two planes and one crashed and soon after it did another one crashed. The details are that there were two planes and they wondered if they were crashed or did terrorist crash them.
It was mysterious because everyone wanted to know what really happened. The questions is was it terrorists or not? Can you explain how you feel about it if you were in one of those planes.

Revised Version

There were two major plane crashes in Russia can you believe that they were 400 miles apart and they fell in between 1 minute. It was very interesting things about the crashes. It happened on a Thursday. There were two planes and they both had passengers aboard, one plane had 45 people on board and another had 60 passengers aboard. Some people thought it was a suicide bombing, a high jack, a terrorist, and some didn’t know what to think because of it was some people from there country. They planes crashed in between a minute and they both disappeared off the radar. There were no survivors found after the terrible accident. The engine exploded before they crashed. I wish I had seen the crash so I could see how terrible it was. I think that it would be a terrible thing would be a terrible experience for me if I was one of the people in that group.

Who was really apart of the crash or explosion?
