IPhones are free in Japan!!!!!!!

In Japan iphones are free! If you have a smart phone in 2 years you can get a iphone for free. This offer is expected to end in May. Some people may want the 16GB which would cost $118. Japan has a very competetive cell phone market. A marketer thought that the iphone wouldn't sell well. I want to go to japan and by one now.

Underwater bombs threaten marine life

The sea floor is filled with tons of underwater bombs. These bombs were left from the US navy, but they are majorly affecting sea life. These bombs are causing cancer and therefor endangering many animals.These bombs were supposed to be safe to sealife. Unfortunately these bombs are majory affecting sea life. I hope scientists can figure out a way to stop this.

Giant Snake

Scientists find a snake fossil from 48 million years ago. This snake would have been 13 meters long and 2,500 pounds. Scientiscall this snake Titanoboa cerrejonensis. Titanoboa's fossilized remains were discovered at a coal mine in the tropical Cerrejon region of northern Colombia by a team of scientists. It would have had to be 86 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit for the snake to have survived. I think this is cool but im happy no snake was ever this big.

Report cards failing

Gov. Jon Corzine's goal of raising standards in New Jersey high schools is getting off to a bad start. Tons of middle school students are failing. New tests are being made to prepare students for what is to come.Responding to test data released today, people think that harder tests will make it easier for students to suceed in the later years to come. However other people think that the tests are getting to hard to fast.Fifth and sixth graders failed in badly on the proficiency test. In language arts, 40 percent of all fifth and sixth grade students failed. Some other districts had failure rates above 70 percents.Rich Vespucci thinks that the decrease in scores was exspected, but personally I think they made these tests way to hard

a flying car!!!!!!

A flying car has just been released into the market. This car can fly 500 miles before it runs out of gas. This car is 194,000 dollars. I think that it's worth it. You drive to the runway to take off and then when you land the wings fold up and you can leave. A boston area company made this possible.I think this is a amazing accomplishment.

The new president!!!!

Today a new president has been elected, but not an ordinary president. This is because he is the first black president ever.The place was packed with tons and tons of people. Obama was oficially declared president at 12:10. With this great new step in america there is still one question which is how will Obama be able to handle all these problems.

Obama promises to the economy many things. Here is what he said. "Today, I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious, and there are many. But know this America...they will be met. This is a very challenging promise to hold out. Obama also thanked president Bush for his service. I think that showed great charachter. I think Obama will be able to pull this off. Obama also said "we will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan." I agree with this statement. There are to many soldiers in Iraq.

This was witnessed by millions of people all over the world. I wish Barack Obama the best. I am confident he will be a very succesfull president. He will make this world a better place.
