Today I read something boring. No I'm playing, it was about president Barack Obama and how he recognizes the crisis and calls for the U.S innovation. He urged last night to see the economic crisis as reason to raise its ambitions, calling for expensive new efforts to address energy, health care and education, programs even as he warned that more money might be needed to bail out banks. He said the weight of this crisis will not determine the destiny of this nation. He is working in lifting this crisis up and us getting back on out feet. He was greeted with applause and a welcome. I hope he fixes this because the economy sucks.
In today's paper I had that a eye surgeon is sentenced in beating of his ex-girlfriend. A la jolla eye surgeon is convicted of battery and passing a false prescription. The false prescription was prescribed for himself. He was pleaded guilty last month. How it happened was that him and his girlfriend had were involved in a incident while driving on the freeway in bay park the court had ordered him to donate $8,000 to a nonprofit organization or shelter that deals with victims of domestic violence. He will also have to pay restitution to the victim (ex-girlfriend).
Today in the newspaper I read about American soldiers being attacked by Israeli police and soldiers. This is not the first time soldiers have been attacked and probably will not be the last. In the Swat region of Pakistan the government has called a cease fire against extremist groups. Some government officials have mad comments about this because they say this will strengthen the terrorist organization. Officials say this will give them a chance to bring more men to terrorist aid and time for them to rearm. In lighter news President Obama would like to pull out of Iraq in 19 months. Even with the withdrawal of troop Obama plans to leave a small force of soldiers to train the Iraqi army. This plan is three months longer than planned but will still end the war centered on lies.
Today in The Union Tribune I read about a 61 year old man named GERALD Dean Metcalf. He has been accused of fatally stabbing another man in a Pacific Beach apartment more than 30 years ago. He was arrested October 14 while in Texas. In 1971 he was connected in the slaying of Gerald Jackson who was 27 and a veteran who worked as U.S. postal service carrier and bouncer at the Barbary Coast night club in San Diego. This case remained unsolved until lat year, when investigators with the San Diego Police department linked Metcalf to the slaying through modern fingerprint analysis and DNA testing. If Metcalf is convicted he could be facing 25 years to life in prison. They found his finger prints on cigarette butts found in the victims apartment where he was found dead by his co-worker. The man had 61 stab wounds on his body including his throat, chest and back. This was a tragic moment even though it happened years ago. I think this man Metcalf deserves to go to prison for life because the murder was so gruesome.
In today’s news paper article I read about a tragic incident that occurred in Afghanistan yesterday. Four U.S troops were killed yesterday by a bomb on the roadside in southern Afghanistan. It was said it is one of the deadliest single attacks this 2009 year. This happened a week after the U.S. was planning on sending reinforcements. An Afghan also died in this attack who was working for the Americans. The U.S. troops were patrolling the area with afghan soldiers when the bomb just struck. In January of this year there was also a deadly attack that killed three Americans. Twenty-nine troops have died this year in Afghanistan. The Taliban militants have increased attacks in the past three years. Obama announced on Feb. 17 that he had decided to send 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan adding to the record of 38,000 already fighting out there. Commanders predict that this year is going to be a violent one.
In today’s paper I read about how many states are considering abolishing the death penalty in order to cut costs. People that have cited religious opposition to the death penalty in the past now are arguing that capital cases cost three times as much as homicide cases in which the death penalty is not sought. In other topic, diarrhea drug sees success in trial again. The San Diego company announced yesterday that its second Phase 3 clinical trial of its antibiotic Prulifloxacin successfully killed pathogens that cause traveler’s diarrhea in people visiting India, Guatemala, and regions in Mexico. The product is expected to be released for over the counter purchase within a year. Yesterday, firefighters from the department’s bomb squad deactivated a fragmentation grenade found in the garage of a home on Delbarton Street, in the Grantville neighborhood. Finally, a man is to face trial in a 1971 stabbing case. 61 year-old Gerald Dean Metcalf is being accused of fatally stabbing another man in a Pacific Beach apartment more than three decades ago and was ordered yesterday to face a court. Advances in DNA testing have linked Metcalf to the murder. If convicted he could be sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
What I read in today’s Union Tribune newspaper for February 25, 2009 was about a bomb was found in a garage. A grenade was found yesterday morning in the garage. The home where the grenade was found at was at Delbarton Street near Clara Lee Avenue in the Grantville neighborhood. The owner of the house moved away, so the family decided to clean up the house not until they spotted the grenade around 9 am. The grenade was described as a post- World War II device. The fire department had been called for help. Once the firefighters and military personnel's came, the decision to remove the grenade was made at about 11 am. The PROCESS was of removing the grenade was that firefighters surrounded the grenade with sandbags and disarmed it in the garage. San Diego Fire- Rescue Department Maurice Luque ASSUME that the grenade had been in the house for several of years. As quoted in the newspaper, Luque RESPONDED was, “ It appeared as if it had been there for several of years, and there was concern that it might be unstable if they moved it. My personal opinion is that good thing the elderly couple who lived in the house decided to move out. They probably didn’t even have a clue the grenade was in the garage.
The article i read today was about the courts not allowing people with domestic violence crimes are not allowing them to have guns people with battery charges are getting the same thing women that were in those kind of cases will effect them because even though they were the victims they will not be abel to purchase because they think that they mite want to do some thing with it and that would make more problems they want to lower the gun cases and other things.
According to the San Diego Union Tribune I read that the Mexican Army has detained 109 suspected traffickers tied to drug cartels so far this year in Baja California. The suspects are in the process of being investigated by Mexico's Attorney General for possible links to Fernando Sánchez Arellano, the current leader of the Arellano Félix drug cartel, or to Teodoro Eduardo Garcia Simental El Teo. The authorities assume ex-associate of the Arellano cartel who started a brutal internal war with his previous employers and a confrontation with federal government forces that led to a record number of killings last year in the region. The authorities have not responded to the news papers.
