For a man to be face burglary and criminal mischief charges for doing something as rediculous as stealing a woman's car keys and pouring a powder into her car's gas tank is just sad. He was only 20 years old too. Before doing this he had first damaged the electrical circuit box in this 39-year-old's apartment. He had entered without permission which is sketchy to begin with. No one is sure of the relationship between these two but the damage will cost about $1,200 which is kind of a lot if you ask me. He was arrested so will hopefully never get the opportunity to do something like this ever again.

The fight to cure cancer is one of the largest investigated issues known in our society today. I find it extremely interesting myself. It is great to hear that we are discovering even more hints towards this huge topic as time goes by. I would have never guessed that it would be only a certain distinct group of people who seem to be providing us with clues to the solution for diabetes and cancer. Who would have thought that those diagnosed with dwarfism would be prone to both of them?! We now know this thanks to a group of individuals whose growth has been stunt that live in remote villages of Ecuador.

Currently in Egypt a lot of political issues are taking place that the United States became involved in. Just recently thousands of more workers attacked their president and his family's wealth in this country. These working class citizens came from all different jobs all with the same purpose however. This is to get their point across to President Hosni Mubarak and get their way. Their methods are starting to turn violent and unsafe however as they're setting fires and pelting stones at cars of their authorities. The whole idea of this scares me. There are definitely better ways to handle this situation. The Egyptians really seem to be strongly focused on the amount of money their president has at the time. It annoys them once they hear the billions that he is receiving while 40% of their country lives in poverty. It is sad to hear that these Egyptian protestors are still going working hard even after being given a warning by the Vice President. That was a first! They say they will not negotiate until Mubarak steps down. This is going to be going on for quite some time if that is the case! 300 have been killed already, lets hope this number does not increase anymore.

Weather conditions have been extremely severe this winter on Long Island and don't seem to be getting better any time soon with the low temperatures. The frozen water all over the roads and walkways is causing numerous incidents for pedestrians just trying to commute to places like work. These hazardous conditions are scary and altered the schedules of pretty much every single person. It is terrifying to hear that a gas station collapsed due to this intense snow and ice. After this past season it is clearly evident that the weather around us is changing significantly and something needs to be done to change it because it is becoming a serious issue.
