That site, with a server in California, was unable to be accessed for a couple of hours Wednesday afternoon. The error could have been caused by too many people trying to access the site at the same time. The same error would be caused by a so-called "denial of service" attack -- using a program to flood a site with thousands of hits in a short time.

In today’s paper I read about how the Mexican navy uncovered s shipment of sharks that were stuffed with cocaine. They smelt something fishy when an anomaly was detected after a ADEQUATE x-ray on products. In all, authorities recovered 870 packages of cocaine, weighing 894 kilograms (about 1,967 pounds). Recently the United States and Mexico have stepped up their drug enforcement efforts, and it is paying off. In another story, two Pennsylvania teens will serve ANNUAL time in a county jail for participating in a brawl that left a Mexican immigrant dead last July. Brandon Piekarsky, 17, was sentenced to 6 to 23 months, and Derrick Donchak, 19, received 7 to 23 months for their roles in the beating death of 25-year-old Luis Ramirez. Judge William Baldwin ordered the two to report to Schuylkill County jail on July 19 to begin serving their sentences. An all-white jury convicted the two former high school football players of misdemeanor simple assault at trial last month and acquitted them of felony counts, including aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation and hindering apprehension, charges that carried lengthier sentences. In fashioning his sentence, Baldwin acknowledged the severity of the attack, which left Ramirez on life support for two days before he died, but said he could pass a sentence only in accordance with the jury's verdict. As the Iranian government seeks to crack down on the online networks being used by protesters who question the nation's election results, a community of Net-savvy users, both inside and outside the country, are working to try to stay one step ahead. That site, with a server in California, was unable to be accessed for a couple of hours Wednesday afternoon. The error could have been caused by too many people trying to access the VALID site at the same time. The same error would be caused by a so-called "denial of service" attack, using a program to flood a site with thousands of hits in a short time. In my opinion, the idea of putting the cocaine in the frozen sharks was pretty ingenious, but I am glad to see such a large amount of the drug did not make it through. Also, I find it odd that the two teens that beat that Mexican immigrant to death are getting such little sentences, but maybe the whole thing was just one big accident. The entire jury was white, that might have made a difference.

In today’s news article, Authorities seized more than 900 marijuana plants being grown in two remote North County locales this week and arrested three young men suspected of running one of the illicit cultivation operations. Acting on a tip from an area resident, deputies on Tuesday afternoon found one of the sites in De Luz Canyon off Calle Roxanne Road and seized 324 cannabis plants. Caught in the greenhouse were Ian Sean McKinster-Peters, 18, of Placentia; Corbin King, 20, of Fullerton; and Erik D. Trent, 19, of Yorba Linda, Brust said. They were arrested and booked on suspicion of growing marijuana.

Today I read about a girl and her boyfriend that are accused of killing her mom. The girl is 14 and her boyfriend is 19. This happened in El Dorado Hills California. The girls name is Tylar Witt and her boyfriend is Steven Clover. Police had been looking for the two since Monday when the body of 47 year old Joanne Witt was found. Police believe that the relationship with the older teen led to the killing.
Interesting facts- it was not clear if the charges had been immediately filed.
My Opinion- I think that girl she get rushed when she is locked up because that is scandal. I think they should both be put to the death penalty or something there was no reason for the killing. The judge will have a VALID reason to do that. They will probably not have an ADEQUATE amount of money to make bail. The two will probably remember this ANNUALY.

In today news, the Mexican navy discovered a shipment of cocaine Hindan inside frozen sharks. The navy have confirm the VALID package are tons of cocaine package’s. The navy had used x-ray, ADEQUATE the shipment, to find the drugs. The Mexican Navy & United States have stepped up drug enforcement efforts, to stop ANNUAL drugs trafficking. The fishy smell attract the invaders to the bust. Using sharks as an cover up is a old style of trafficking. Authorities recovered 870 packages of cocaine, weighing 894 kilograms. pushing more of the drug trade to sea routes and forcing drug smugglers to find more creative ways to hide their contraband.

Today I read about Usher files for divorce and is not a shocked to people or fans. Usher was very successful with his singing career and at the time they met, she was married with three kids. The fans didn’t care for her and word was also that his mother did not approve of the relationship. So when Usher file for divorce it was no surprise, more like I told you so from fans and the media. A lot of people did not like her from the beginning and they didn’t know much about her so they wonder if she was some kind of gold digger and where did she come from. They said no one seems to be shocked, its more like they were wondering when they were going to get a divorced not if they ever wonder if they’ll get a divorce. They were married for less than two years. The couple are the parents of two young sons.
