Wednesday-today I read about a woman being attacked in a cork house. Thirty-five minutes into the hearing, when the issue of child support was brought up Gonzalez -- acting as his own attorney -- decided to leave the room, according to Michael Dunleavy, the attorney for Scott-Gonzalez. The couple, both former Marines, are the parents of two young children. “He goes, 'I'm not going to pay child support,' and Judge Rothschild says, 'You know all parents have to pay child support, we all have to support our children,' and he (Gonzalez) stalked out of the room," said Dunleavy. A belief was not in the room at the time of the attack. The judge said if he had know that he was going to be violent then he would have had a bailiff in his room at the time. That is a bond high enough for Scott-Gonzalez to feel safe, for now.

Today I read about the steady decline in teen smoking has stalled. According to the University of Michigan’s annual survey of the nation’s adolescents, in 2006, about 1/5 of U.S. high school seniors smoked at least monthly, down from more than a third who did so in 1996 but in the past few years, that figure has not continued its steady drop. The decline in regular smoking among younger students has similarly slowed. There has been signs in the most recent surveys indicate that smoking among younger teenagers might be on the rise. People do not know why the teen smoking has fallen some say because the restrictions on the advertisements and the anti-smoking education. I think that the smoking addiction in people doesn’t really matter if it rises or falls. Because, me personally I know a lot of people that hate cigarettes and yet I know a lot of people who like smoking cigarettes like me. Anyways, and the new law that they’re trying to make about now you have to be 21 to buy cigarettes; good luck because I doubt that the law will ever come into affect. For one, that means that government and tobacco companies are going to loose enormous amounts of money and second people have easy access into getting anything and cigarettes is not a major issue. Now that I really think of it..it’s pissing me off how they worry so much about these God damn little things that won’t change the fact that are economy is so jacked up. I mean how is raising the age of cigarette buyers going to improve us because we need money. Come on think about it.
In today’s news , I read about a Vancouver couple from Washington who has been accused of keeping two young children in a caged room.

The couple is set for arraignment April 27 in Clark County Superior Court.
Tuesday-
Today I read about the makers of Colt 45 malt liquor have stirred up a controversy with their new beverage that some fear will encourage kids to drink. Blast is a fruity new blend boasting twice the alcohol as Pabst Brewing Co.'s original malt liquor. This drink has 12% alcohol more than just a can of beer. This drink was also inspired by the makers of Four Loko's, Juices, and the tilt. I think that this drink has yet to increase in popularity but also that I need to go drink one myself just to see how good it is and to be the person who says it should be out in the market.
Wednesday-
Today I read about, Texas firefighters Wednesday battled blazes that have scorched over one million acres and have been burning for more than a week. The fires are all over the state. Saginor said firefighters from 34 states are now in Texas battling blazes that, over the past two weeks, have destroyed more than 170 homes. Five other volunteer firefighters have been injured by the East Sidwynicks fire, which has burned 3,000 acres. I think that this sucks for Texas.

Russell Barnes, the girl's father, said that a female body found in the Susquehanna River in northeast Maryland is that of his daughter, Phylicia Barnes. It was recovered about 40 miles from where she was last seen, in the city of Baltimore. Now the father of these two dead bodies cant have a proportion anymore. These two bodies are now registered and found by NC police investigation. The people that had kidnapped these young ladies had a good scheme too get away with this.
In Thursday’s morning blog I read about a man that died of being attacked from a taser. A man causing a disturbance outside a movie theater near Universal Studios died Friday after being handcuffed and shocked with a Taser stun gun, Orlando police said.

Today I read about the body of a 16-year-old honor student from North Carolina missing since December has been found in a Maryland river. Russell Barnes, the girl's father, said that a female body found in the Susquehanna River in northeast Maryland is that of his daughter, Phylicia Barnes. It was recovered about 40 miles from where she was last seen, in the city of Baltimore. On Thursday night, Maryland State Police Superintendent Terrence Sheridan and Baltimore Police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld confirmed at a press conference that the body is that of the teenager student from Charlotte, North Carolina. Her body was recovered around 10 a.m. that morning, less than three hours after people spotted it and flagged down police, said Sheridan.

There were no clothes on either body. I think that even bad things happen to good people too and I mean it flatters me that it wad a person with good intentions in life.

Today I read about authorities in the Mexican north-central state of Durango have confirmed the discovery of 26 bodies in a mass grave.

Officials say the bodies found late Wednesday were already badly decomposed and so far they haven't been able to identify the victims.
