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.

57-year-old Jacqueline Berghorn came face-to-face with a bear at her home in Center Harbor, New Hampshire. It pushed her down and she hit a glass door. The bear then ran away, right through a fence. Berghorn said it came back and her husband fired two shots at it. He missed and the bear ran off.One of Berghorn's neighbors said a bear killed six chickens on his property Sunday, but it's believed to be a different bear.

I agree with kayleen, the bear must have a motive behind doing this. Black bears arent really that mean of bears. they usually keep to themselves.

It's not unlikely to have bears around our houses and places where we do activities. We just need to be careful in case we do see one to know what to do.

Recently seven of the Mount Carmel Area Odyssey of the Mind teams went to Williamsport. Three out of the seven teams advanced to world. Odyssey of the Mind is a competition that anyone can compete in. The teams consist of five to seven people. This competition has two parts. The first is your long term problem. At the beginning of the season you pick a problem. There are five total. You then have to solve this problem within an eight minute skit and meet all of the regulations. The second part is spontaneous. The team enters a room with three judges. You can receive a hands-on problem, a hands-on verbal problem, or a verbal problem. Each problem varies on topics and you have a specific amount of time. You are also limited to how many times you may answer. Each of your teams received 1st or 2nd place at the state competition. They will be going to the University of Maryland where they will compete for a world title. Spontaneous and the long term problems are on separate days. Pin trading and shirt trading are only two of the many activities to do during their time there.

Hope u have a good time. Good luck and hope u win.

The first time in a lone time that our odyssey of the mind made it to worlds. Good luck and great job at worlds, Congratulations and i hope you win at worlds.

Probably within the next five years, we will have the luxury of being in two places at one time using 3-D avatars. Instead of getting up early, getting dressed, and changing your schedule around for a meeting, you could just open up your laptop and within the matter of two minutes, you can be in a virtual conference room. The program will allow you to move your head to look around the room at the other people and while your avatar is wide awake and taking notes for you, you could be sleeping.

That would be awesome, it's like facetime but 3-D.

This sounds like it could be a bad idea. it would just make people lazier than what they are. I wouldnt do this.

A reporter was covering a story on protest in Bahrain. When the Bahrain goverment came up to them and pointed machine guns at them. The reporter was arrested and the goverment erased all the footage. They were at the police station for 6 hours before being released.

Its unbelievable the risks people take just to do their job.

True it is amazing that this reporter went there all of this for just a story. But hey go big or go home, right!

A big fire at Miami airport causes close to a 100 flight cancellations and stranding hundreds of passengers.

there is radiation in the drinking water and in the food supply and its not safe for infants at all and any women who are pregnant need to drink bottled water.

This is crazy that these earthquakes all the way over in Japan are affecting states over here in the U.S.

Libyans gather in Tripoli, Libya to mourn at the funeral for 13 people who were killed in the coalition air strike.

A student at the College of the Atlantic is working on a project to change food waste into energy. He has been studying ways possibilities of converting biomass waste into liquid fuel known as butanol.

Wow cool good for him that would be really cool for him if he did that because then maybe that would change the world.

Seth Matthew Hornberger is accused of killing Alan Andrew Martin by stabbing him to death, and the mother and father of Martin are not happy. Hornberger faces arraignment at 8 a.m. May 18 in the Court of Common Pleas, Snyder County.

People like that shouldn't have bail. Murderers are dangerous people and deserve their sentence.

In Corsicana, Texas, autorities say Jeffrey Allan Maxwell abducted a 62-year-old woman and then beat her for 13 days. He was arrested Saturday and has been charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault.

Jeffrey Allan Maxwell, The guy's sick. Who Shackles and beats a 62 year women, for 13 days! People need some help.

The morality of human nature can never be settled as eternally good or bad, but always unpredictable. There's ones who create inventions, cure diseases, and build nations, yet you can't balance life without having negatives. Its a shame what happens to innocent victims these days, but we can't control human emotion/consciousness. All we can do is protect who and what we know, but learn from the mistakes of our brothers and sisters for we can do better.

Conditions worsening at nuclear power plant after earthquake and tsunami. Possible damage to containment vessels could lead to leaking radiation.

Japan is going to be a disaster if the radiation leaks.

The primary suspect in the brutal beating of a of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodgers Stadium is Giovanni Ramirez. He is 31 years old and is associated with the Varrio Nuevo Estrada street gang. It is one of 34 gangs in a 15-square-mile area east of downtown Los Angeles.

I really can't believe that somebody has the guts to beat somebody up for something so little and stupid. That guy can't even like his favorite baseball team without getting beat up for it. I think that it is a great thing that the giants players are giving a reward to anyone with answers. It really shows that they care about their fans.

when stuff like this happens it needs to be dealt with and have major consequences. when this happens it just looks bad on the sport and general managers that do not provide enough security. this is a major problem at sporting events.

32 years ago today, a partial nuclear meltdown occurred at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, near Harrisburg.

A house in New England is said to be haunted. This isn't just any ordinary house this is one of the oldest houses in America. They say that there is occasional footsteps on the stairs when nobody is even there, flashlights going dark with brand new batteries, and the doorbell ringing with nobody at the door. The house was built more than four hundred years ago and was built by English settlers Jonathan and Grace Fairbanks. The house is now a museum open to the public.

Dude I love haunted houses. I think my house is because I miss place everything I own. But are they real or fake and is this just a bribe to get more people to visit.

There was a subway bombing that left 12 people dead. It also left more than 200 wounded in Belarus. The interior minister says it was a radio-controlled bomb that was used. The bomb was placed under a bench at a busy subway station. He also says, police have created composite pictures of two male suspects using testimony from witnesses. Another official says several people have been detained in the investigation. It's not clear if those people are considered suspects. Earlier, the domestic security agency in the former Soviet nation said it had identified the likely attacker.

That is horrible. Twelve innocent people died for most likely no reason.
