15 people, mostly teenager, shot at a Miami night club

 http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/28/us/miami-florida-teen-nightclub-shooting/index.html?c=homepage-t&page=2
    Sunday morning 15 people were shot at a Miami nightclub. Some of the kids were as young as 11 years old. The nightclub seemed to cater to young people since many young teenagers were there. The Miami-Dade County curfew makes it against the law for children younger than 17 to be out on their own between midnight and 6 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The curfew is 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. other nights. The investigation is still pending with few suspects. 
     This incident at a Miami nighy clud could have easily been prevented. Nught clubs like this one shouldn't cater to young teenagers, it's too dangerous. Though there are few suspects at this time the investigation is still in place. Hopefully after this incident there will be stricter laws against teenage night clubs.

Police Get Break In Missing Virginia Student http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/19/us/virginia-missing-student-hannah-graham/index.html?c=homepage-t&page=2


     Police were conducting an investigation to find evidence about the missing 19 year old, Hannah Graham. They searched an apartment and a vehicle in the college town Friday morning. Three males were present when police arrived to search the apartment, but no one was aressted or questioned. One of the three men matched the description of a "person of interest" in the investigation into, but there was no evidence there to arrest him. The person of interest is related to the vehicle that was searched and seized, but it was not clear if he is the owner. It was said that Graham left a dinner with a group of friends around 11 p.m. last Friday. Around 1:20 a.m. Saturday, she sent a text to friends saying she was lost. Police believe she may have been under the influence of alcohol, and may have been vulnerable or unable to defend herself.
     This pending case has two suspects who seem to be vital suspects. If the police and detectives continue their search, we all hope that they will be able to fin Graham and her kidnapper. Though the evidence is not proved yet one of the suspects is a "person of interest". I hope the investigation continues and they find the person who did this.

     Scientists have been following this story and have said that it is going to be a big storm. Although this storm won't have much effect on us it may effect the power lines, but nothing too serious. Astronauts are at a huge risk. Experts say that the storm will arrive to earth on saturday. These storms are related to solar flares but on a much larger scale. Though the earths atmosphere protects us from most storms, scientists recomend to keep a flashlight handy. It is not much to worry about because NASA is taking all the steps to protect us and the National Space Sation. These storms also create a beautiful aurora that can be seen in the Northern United States. 
     This article provides a lot of information about the upcoming Solar Storm. It tells us what to expect and also what precautions are being put forth to protect their astronauts and the National Space Sation. This article also gives us a scientific explanation for why these Solar occurances happen.

Joan Rivers Dies at 81 Years Old

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/05/showbiz/joan-rivers/index.html?c=homepage-t&page=0

        Joan Rivers died yesterday afternoon at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, New York. Joan had respiratory and cardiac arrest after a simple vocal procedure had gone wrong. She was immediately rushed to the hospital in Manhattan where she was pronounced in critical condition and was put on life support. Rivers stayed on life support for a little over a week before she was placed in a private room where family, and friends hoped for the best. Unfortunately, Rivers did not make it, and will be missed by many people. An investigation is in place to find out if there was any malpractice by the doctors and their staff. Although no criminal investigations are yet underway.
        Personally, i followed the story up until the final days of Joan Rivers. I loved her comedy, and i thought she was the best female comedic out there! It seemed strange to me how something so minor caused her to have respiratory and cardiac arrest. It is hard to say if there were any malpractices going on in that facility, but something must have gone wrong to have made her stop breathing. I will continue to follow this story to find out what exactly happened to Joan Rivers during that operation.

Yearbook Review

The yearbooks that i looked at were good for the most part. Something i noticed was that a lot of the pictures were blurry, people were cut out, and and other minor things. I liked the way the 2010 yearbook was set up. The baby pictures were separate from their senior pictures, and all of the sections seemed to be organized. The yearbook from last year, 2014, seemed like it was all over the place. I didn't like how the baby pictures were with the senior pictures, it made the page look cluttered.
