Barak Obama apparently doesn't have a birth certificate according to Donald Trump. It is supposed to be in a vault in Hawaii where Barak was supposed to be born but now we really are not sure. At first i was thinking this is just probably because of the fact that he is going to be running against Obama in the next election but now i'm not so sure. There is a good possibility that he is actually not a member of the United States. Let alone not even legally. If Barak has any sort of birth certificate it shouldn't be that hard to find it considering he is the president of the United States. For some reason they have yet to find it. Either it was never created or somebody along the years had lost it.

I would vote for trump. Cause Obama is changing our live for ever we need some one else in office.

I personally think Donald Trump will actually help us out.

Rare and dangerous thunderstorms and possible tornadoes could appear Tuesday in northeast Texas, Mississippi and the southern part of the United State. Very large hail and damaging winds are also to be expected. It doesn't stop on Tuesday, on Wednesday there is also a severe thunderstorm warning. We just started getting nice weather for the first time all year and its all about to get ruined by the raging wind and thunderstorms.

I enjoy the rain probably more than the normal person. Lets also hope for some cool thunderstorms would be awesome. Let it rain.

What is with this weather? When is summer weather going to come? It seems like this summer is just going to be full of rain its been 2 months of rain everyday.

13 year old boy rescues his friend from falling trough ice and gets award.

this way a really moving story ... how a 13 year old boy rescuse his friend from ice and he got honor for saving his life

Agree with everyone. This was a great story to pick out, Jon! We see, hear, read so much about bullying and cyber-bullying in today's world. We need to focus, too, on students who make it a point to do the right thing. This should certainly serve as motivation for us all!

A lady found a sewing needle in her ribs and mashed potatoes.

If i ever found a needle in my food i would sue them also. Yea she could have got HIV from it or another disease, but what is she swallowed it.

I wonder if the lady put the needle in her food and then just said that it was in there. She really doesn't have any proof that they put it in there. Also, Chilies doesn't use needles in any way to prepare their food so why would it be in their.

In a 'long shot' theory, physicists propose that the world's largest atom smasher could be used as a time machine to send a special kind of matter backward in time.

Could you even imagine the possibility of controlling time. Everything on earth evolves around time, from planning events, keeping an agenda, and even when to eat. The fact is time is like money, we spend it quick with much regret. I wouldn't know what to do if this became actually real, because life is precious a train thats never stopping. Controlling time would be a disgrace towards life and its purposes.

The researchers said "the method could be used to send messages to the past or the future." I think that they're right this is a long shot. Its just to much of a long shot, I don't think this will be perfected anytime soon.

Families of troops were relived when they first heard the news of Bin Laden's death. Although not too long after they were scared for our troops. Priscilla Thurman a wife of a millitary troop wants to know if she is the only person who is more worried now that Bin Laden is dead. She is not the only one scared though many wives, mother's and family members also are.

Ok i understand that we don't wanna start any more problems with terrorist but why wont Obama show us some pictures? I think the Navy Seals should be happy that they killed Bin Laden and release some pictures of him. I do believe that he is dead but i still have my doubts just because they wont show us some proof. If they would release the pictures to everyone then no one will doubt Obama. I think that it will make Obama look a lot better and its right in time since the elections are coming up next year.

U.S. forces stormed a compound outside Islamabad where Osama bin Laden was staying. Attorney general declares the operation "lawful, legitimate and appropriate in every way". Bin Laden was not armed when he was shot and killed, White House spokesman says. A woman believed to be bin Laden's wife was shot in the leg, Carney says. It took the SEALs 40 minutes to clear the compound.

A soldier gets 24 years behind bars for killing Afghan civilians in a "sport" or "game". Also 5 other soldiers are getting 22 or more years for participating.

I understand that there are certain people who need to be killed, the people who are doing harm to the civilians are in the wrong. The soldiers are there to kill the bad people, not to make a sick game out of killing innocent people.

James has a really good point, here. What if there is a bit more to the story? Was it truly a completely innocent a civilian? (Mmm... maybe I should go in and actually read the story. The conversation surrounding the article definitely makes it more interesting and makes me want to take a further look into it. Nice job, students!

This is the oil industry's answer to the traditional process of strip mining, Instead of digging for oil in fields such as this one:on the boarder of Canada. We could send pipes and steam into the ground to slurp the fuel out of the dirt.The heat and water loosen the oil, allowing it to be pumped back to the surface and then refined. People are seeing this type of operation as an environmentally friendly alternative to oil sands mining.

i love you jamesy boyyyy.

A Boy Scout troop from Lafayette, Louisiana was found Tuesday. The campsite was found by helicopter a National Guard helicopter.The scouts were being transferred by helicopter to a command post. All the boys are fine. officials were confident the troop was safe, saying the scout master with the troop was very experienced and serves as a backpacking trainer. The average age of the youths is 14.

That is a great thing that they found the troop!

if they would have not took off then they would not have got lost in the first place

David Allan Lewis from Greenville, South Carolina was hiking with his girlfriend and their dog. His dog got away from him and ran towards the falls. He ran after his dog and reached for it and they both went over the falls. The dog caught himself and got back up. David fell 125ft to his death. What a terrible thing, nobody really deserves to die

I understand that dogs are mans best friend but this whole situation could of been avoided only if the man would have let the dog figure it out for himself.

That's really sad that he lost his life trying to save his pet. He must have really cared about it.

Farmers are ready for the wet weather to move out because it delaying the planting season. Greg Kneubuhler is mad because he cant get into the felids. But if they plant stuff by may 15 then they will still have a good yield. Its becoming more of a challenge with more rain in the forecast. They have nothing planted at all yet because they can't get in the felids yet. They have four weeks to plant. What they need is heat wind and warm weather.

Many people have been asking a lot of questions about the death of Bin Laden. One good question i would like an answer to is can we leave Afghanistan now? I wish the war would come to an end so all of our troops fighting in the war can come home and return to there friends and family.

I agree. If he's dead then they should start to bring some of the troops home now.

North Of the Pakistani Capital A lot of American special forces executed a 40-minute raid in which they killed Osama bin Laden, the world's most well-known terrorist leader.Helicopters were seen leaving and streets around the house were bin Ladin lived were blocked.

The cockpit voice recorder from an Air France plane that crashed mysteriously nearly two years ago, killing all 228 people on board, has been found. This device will bring the investigation one step closer to knowing the cause.The discovery of the two data recorders may finally explain why the Airbus A330 dropped out of the sky and into the ocean. It took nearly two years to locate the bulk of the wreckage.

I actually came across this on AOL news the other day. Its amazing how big the ocean is and we are able to find such small pieces of history in the depths the dark water. It will be more interesting what they will find out in recent weeks.

That is amazing. I wonder what the voice recorder has on it.

Federal officials say the analysis of DNA from relatives confirms that Osama bin Laden is dead. However, the federal officials have not disclosed the relationship of the family. The test confirmed his identity with 99.9 percent accuracy. Since the tests were so accurate they believe that source of the DNA must have been from a parent or child of bin Laden. However, bin Laden did not have any full siblings. He did have 50 half-siblings, some of them had close ties to the United States.

The photo shown subliminally describes how much the United States has changed in the past few decades. African-American males went from being the people to avoid, the people who commit crimes, the people who make our country look bad, to one of them "terrible" African-Americans being the alpha male of our country. We have broken the racial threshold after electing a black president. The image shows that women can also be extremely powerful, too. When John F. Kennedy was president, for example, it would be otherworldly to have a woman with as much power as Hilary Clinton. I believe this country has taken a step forward in accepting people for who they are, and not the color of their skin.

The security breach in Sony was a lot worse then they thought. They have also hacked into the Sony PC. The Sony company is giving member 30 days of free time on there gaming accounts.
