2013

In 2013 the U.S. will conquer China and we will be all okay. Also there will be an Earthquake by Japan and will cause the country to sink under water and be lost forever, just like Atlantis. The country will sink and people will come out and say the country had tons and tons of riches. After that happens the world will all be freaking out because they think they are all going to die so we find a way to all go live on the moon but not everyone will be able to go so the people left on earth will turn into Aliens and try to blow up the moon to end us.

Chopper Down!

A medical helicopter crashed killing three people. There were two nurses on the helicopter  and they both died as did the pilot. The helicopter ended up crashing in a town called Compton near the city of Rochelle. The chopper was destroyed in the crash says the FAA. The hospital that these nurses and pilot are from say that they were some of the best trained for the job. The pilot of the helicopter needs to be able to  land on landing sites that aren't normal in a short amount of time. Being in a medical helicopter you do take risks and this was one of them.

United Flew 787 Dreamliner

United Airlines became the first U.S.carrier to fly passengers on Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner. The flight sold out flying from Houston to Chicago. "It felt like we were kids going to Disney World for the first time I guess." People that took this flight were so excited to fly on this awesome plane. Apparently the flight had a "party atmosphere" according to a couple of the passengers. As the plane arrived in Chicago they received a water-cannon-salute. They do this for inaugural flights and people were saying this was just awesome.

Bomb Threat

There was a man at Texas A&M that made a bomb threat. Of course he was just kidding and is now being charged with false bomb threat. There is also another instance at a different university that is now being investigated because of this. The young lady is under arrest for being a person of interest and supposedly in a relationship in the guy that made the bomb threat. After the bomb threats were made both of the suspects were arrested just hours later. The best part is that the threats were made by email so it made it easy to find out who it was.

In Las Vegas a man allegedly stole some chips worth $1.6 million. They say he took the chips around 6:00 am. He didn't use any weapons or anything like that and he didn't run into any witnesses or security guards either. The casino's security cameras captured everything . the man's name in Akingide Cole, 31 years old. Now he is wanted on grand larceny, burglary and possession of burglary tools. They say that the suspect cashing the chips in are very slim and that the chips would just circulate around some top players. Casino's also have different sets of chips so if he uses the chips he would stand out and be caught.

Same Thing but Not?

Samsung  is coming out with a Galaxy S III mini. The phones will be exactly the same except for the size of the phone. The mini will have a 4 inch display mainly to come to the iPhone 5 size. The screen resolution will be worse going from 1280 x 720 pixel to 800 x 480 pixels. The device will also have a worse battery life and is much slower than the original Galaxy S III. They basically made a complete different device but the same thing with the same name just so they could bring in some sales. They brought this in because of the holidays coming up and people will want a smaller device because it is much more convenient.

The Champ Dies

Down near Miami, Florida there was a roach eating contest and Edward Archbold ended up winning the contest and winning a python but losing his life. He downed a couple dozen roaches and worms in order to win. After he won he collapsed in the store and was then taken to the hospital where they pronounced him dead. "Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don't think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat," said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside. No other contestants got ill after the contest but it is known for people to have reactions to the roaches. The prize has been put aside in his name and was given to  his estate.

Predators in the Sea

Some of the main ocean predators in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean could lose as much as 35 percent of their habitat. Eleven Scientists from Canada and America tracked 4300 animals and looked at how the temperature can affect their habitat. Some of the habitats can move up to 600 miles while others won't move at all. Blue whales and loggerhead turtles already have to travel pretty far to get some food. Then there's some other species that won't have any problems because they will be able to adjust more easily.

Will the iPhone 5 sell?

In the last couple weeks, Nokia, Samsung and Motorola all released new smartphones. The question people are wondering is if the new iPhone will sell or not because of the high competition just released. People love the iPhone's because Apple makes it easy to do many tasks at once but that also drains the battery life majorly. The battery life of the three that just released had major battery improvements and that's what people like. Apple also plans on moving away from the colors of black and white and on to something different but we aren't sure what. There is some tough competition for the iPhone on this time around.

WWII Vet. Defends Home

A 92 year old farmer and WWII veteran was in his home, in Kentucky, while he heard a noise come from the basement. He grabbed his .22-caliber rifle with no fear and waited in a chair at the top of the stairs leading to the basement. He said he claims he aimed for the heart and shot and killed the 24 year old Lloyd "Adam" Maxwell. The Kentucky law on using some type of physical force is that if they believe it is needed then they have the right to. The Boone County is also charging two other individuals with burglary and tampering with evidence for moving some of the evidence around at the scene. They say that investigations are still under way.
