In Long Island, New York a human skull was found on the outside of a bird sanctuary. This is the ninth set of human remains that have been found remotely close to the area. The skull was found Monday around 3:30 pm in Oyster Bay. Somewhere around four hours earlier a police dog found another set of remains about a mile away. Cops weren't sure wether the remains were human or not. Police are going to continue their search on Tuesday. Since December eight sets of human parts have been discovered. These remains were in Suffolk County, about five miles from the sites of Mondays discoveries.

In New York, another set of bones was recovered. It can potentially be from the same serial killer of the other 8 sets. They were found on the outskirts of Long Island, New York. Authorities will not release any information on the remains or the condition of them. The remains may possibly belong to 24 year old Shannan Gilbert. Police say she was an escort visiting a client's home, and she ran from his house and called 911 claiming someone is trying to hurt her. Police responded to her call only 30 minutes later, but she was nowhere to be found. Her call led to the other 8 bodies being found, which her family is happy about.

I think someone should start keeping a lookout for guys with garbage bags and shovels around that area.

We all hear about those false zombie outbreaks over in Europe, but that deadly Egyptian cobra on the loose in New York is a hole another story. A venomous cobra escaped from the New York Bronx Zoo. Workers say the snake was isolated in a non-public area of the building, what's next for the city of New York.

Snakes where? On a plane?

@Brett ~ what do you think might have been a better comment that could have added value to Corey's post and comment? Remember when commenting that your thoughts or questions should add value to the posting.

Saratoga High School in New York will have breathalyzer for each student attending prom next month. It will be at the front door to ensure that every student will attend prom in a sober fashion. Their principal says the new guideline is in response to growing concerns about student safety and alcohol use. Mostly all of the students of this school said its a good idea and they like this idea. They think that students should be checked for this since its not legal for anyone underage to do no matter the circumstances.

This is a good idea because there are probably many students who would show up to prom under the influence of alcohol.

It makes sense to use precautions like this. Every year there's students who drink before prom and usually get arrested. Doing this might affect how many people actualy do drink before prom. Also it will cut down on the dangers of drunk driving.

In Long Island, New York a serial killer is on the loose. Police officers said they found remains which could be up to 9 bodies. They found their first remains in December. Four of the victims were on craigslist. The police are looking for more evidence that can tie someone up to these murders. They have everyone including the K-9 unit looking.If they don't catch this guy he is just going to murder more people. Hopefully, one day justice will be served.

I hope they find this serial killer. For the peoples in Long Island, New York. Hope there are no more people found died there. Hope everyone stays safe

Grete Waitz a Norwegian Marathon runner died today in Oslo. She won 9 New York City Marathons. Her first Marathon in 1978 she set a new record time of 2 hours 32 minutes and 30 seconds. In 2005 she announced she had cancer. She inspired runners all of the world.

She has accomplished a lot in her life and made huge accomplishments on winning her marathons. It's sad she has died but she definatly got a lot out of life.

In New York the police may have found a 9th body to what they think is a serial killers work. They started finding bodies in December and continue to keep finding bodies. they have also started using K-9 and dive teams to try and find more. But they are still looking for one missing woman.

U.S. Census Bureau data that is going to be released Thursday are expected to show that the Hispanic population in the United States- has reached a new high, getting up to 50 million people. Demographers told CNN. The results the Demographers are going to show is said that Hispanics accounted for more then half of the nation's growth since 2000. The white population is staying the same, when the Hispanic and Asain populations are quickly getting larger. Out of the 50 states, 48 of them got Demographs. Nearly 47 million Hispanics were counted in the 48 states, & the Hispanic population of New York is estimated to put the number past the 50 million mark and as high as 50.5 million.

People have no care about anybody else which is why they keep hopping the border. Little do they know that every person that enters our country illegally, could be the person who takes your job in a year or two. Its hard to stop all of this but our country needs to devote even more attention to the border and all of the problems with it.

Lucas ~ reread your post and think about better ways you could have said some of the things above to be less offensive. Sometimes, we can better convey our views and get our point across when we speak more appropriately. Think about it. If you want to convince someone or persuade someone to think as you do, you'll never get the chance if you turn them off by offending them. Does that make sense?

A venomous Egyptian cobra went missing from New York's Bronx Zoo. Zoo officials said they are confident the 20-inch-long snake is contained in a nonpublic, isolated area of the building.The Egyptian cobra is most commonly found in North Africa. The venom destroys nerve tissue and causes paralysis and death due to respiratory failure. It can kill a human in less than 15mins and a fully grown elephant in 3 hours.

James ~ be sure when summarizing, you summarize. I can see that you chose various facts/sentences throughout the article and what you chose was great in giving a short overview of the important parts of this article. Be sure, however, to always use your own words to retell what you read versus direct sentences from the source. Did I just see somewhere, too, that one escaped in California?

Ford Motor combined strong sales and improved pricing to roar past earnings forecasts and post its best first-quarter profit since 1998. Ford earned $2.6 billion, up 22% from last year. They did this by lowing prices on cars and making the most sold cars in America. This has been Fords best since 1998. They are currently the company withe the most cars sold.

This would be good for them because then it would help them out

Hopefully things stay good for them.

Despite reports that seven state government workers held the winning $319 million ticket in the Mega Millions lottery, as of Sunday, no one had come forward to claim the prize

then were gonna run away forever just me and you bert

@Joe D. Sounds like an awesome plan! However, it is surely best reserved for informal, classroom conversation versus a professional, public forum such as this. :-) What could you have said Joe that could have added value to this post?

if two planes get close enough to hit each other there is something wrong with the air control station, someone was not performing there job well.

I do not understand how this happened. How could someone at the airport let the planes in the same area at the same time!

The people flying this plane are not to blame, the people in the control towers should be able to maintain control of these kind of things. I wouldn't be too happy about this because of somebody else being careless.
