Woman gunned down, boyfriend wounded leaving Brooklyn Halloween party

Article
This article is about a couple walking home from a halloween party and were shot.It was a "Saturday morning when the couple walked home and the the gun shots started". The police still dont know why the people were killed. The girlfriend was quickly killed with a shot to the chest.A witness said the saw the boyfriend get shot in the head.Even though in great pain he still was able to drive two miles to the hospital.

My Thoughts
Its really sad that people cant walk down the street without being shot.I dont even think its a reason that the couples were shot.It isnt right how this world is coming to. I really feel for the family members who lost their brother or sister.HOW CAN SOMEONE GO OUT AND SHOT SOMEONE?DONT THEY KNOW THATS SOMEONES FATHER OR MOTHER,BROTHER OR SISTER?

Jury recommends death to ringleader of 'ninja' robbers

This article is about a man named Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Jr, getting sentenced to death, also known as the death penalty. He is 35 years old. This happened because he was stealthily leading a crew of men with disguises of ninjas and mask that would sneek into a home in Florida. He was found guilty of the murders of Byrd Billings & Melanie Billings. Also a robbery in the same place. The death penalty would be on December 19 but he would stay in jail until the day. I guess this is both sad for the Billings family and the Gonzalez family, but if I was part of the jury, i wouldnt give the death penalty for anyone because no matter how bad of a person i am , I wouldnt want anyone to kill me ! I would probably just make the person go to jail for their whole life and some punishments inside jail to, because people are people and mosst of the time they regret many things ! :)http://http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/10/29/florida.couple.slain.case/index.html

New monkey found in Myanmar near China dam project




Summary: Scientists have discovered a new type of snub-nosed monkey in the northern isolated forests of Myanmar. This type of monkey can be distinguished by its eyes, nose, and mouth, which seem to be pushed inward. Also, this monkey is known to sneeze a lot when it rains, because water can easily seep into its nose. Unfortunately, these scientists believe the monkey may be in trouble, because a dam is being built in its habitat. They say it is likely that the monkey will be hunted.

Reaction: It is amazing to know that there are still animals on earth that humans haven't discovered. Although most of these animals are probably in isolated rain forests with little people around, I wonder if there are any undiscovered animal species in the Bronx?

I really hope leaders in Myanmar are stict about hunting the snub-nosed monkey, because if too many are killed, they could become endangered or even extinct. It is all of our responsibility to make sure endangered species are protected, because if they become extinct, it could disrupt the entire food chain, and change life on earth as we know it!

Fox says Avatar is Costliest Film Ever


Here is an example post from me. Feel free to comment.

Summary: I have read that Avatar is the most expensive movie ever made, costing over 300 million dollars to produce. Avatar broke the old record which was held by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which cost just about 300 million to make. The film was written and directed by James Cameron, and is a 3-D movie, which takes place on the planet of Pandora. It involves a war between invading humans from earth and the planet Pandora's native species, which look like blue people.


Reaction: I am really excited to see Avatar not only because I don't go to the movies very often, but also because it looks like a really unique film. I have never been to a 3-D movie before, but most of James Cameron's movies have been pretty amazing. I know he also directed Terminator 1 and 2, True Lies, and Titanic, all of which are solid movies.

At the same time, I am concerned with how much the movie cost to make. What happens if the movie does not make back at least 300 million dollars it cost to make? Does that mean there will be no profit? How does a movie make any money if it does not make back at least how much the movie cost to make in the first place? Also, does this mean that more and more movies will be this expensive to make? How is a regular person who wants to be a director ever supposed to come up with 300 million dollars to make a movie??!?!
