Right now, the South Brusnwick food pantry is running out of food and donations. The economy is really hitting them and the families that need the food pantry hard. People are already having a hard time doing things for themselves, they aren't able to donate things so then the food pantry gets empty and they can't give the families who need food, food."”We’ve seen people who normally would be donating who have come to us for assistance," Ms.Wolf said" says article. So now there are less people donating than before. My opinion of the issue is: People are having hard times, I don't blame them for not donating. But if you can you should donate. Sure there you may be in bad shape but think there are whole big families suffering.

The electromagnetic wave spectrum
There are six types of Electromagnetic waves:
1. Radio Waves:
Broadcasting Waves:They are long wavelengths which are used for carrying signals to antenna's, where they are turned into electric energy, then into sound and pictures.
Microwaves: They have shorter wavelengths and are used for cell phones, radars,and heating food.
2. Infrared ray:
Heat Lamps-They give off heat and some visible light. They are used for keeping food warm, they are also used for heating up a bathroom.
Infrared Cameras-This camera uses infrared rays to take a picture. It shows the the heat of every part of the picture.
3. Visible Light- They are waves that we can see. Visible light comes in many colors. The highest frequency of visible light is purple in color. The lowest frequency of visible light appears red in color. To see the colors you can refract white light with a prism and see all the colors.
4. Ultraviolet Rays- They are length waves shorter then those of visible light and they have a lot of energy. They are used to produce vitamin D, and stopping the growth of bacteria on food. They are used in hospitals to kill bacteria on the equipment. But they are sometimes dangerous and can cause skin cancer if you get exposed too much to the sun.
5. X-Rays- They have more energy than U.V rays and penetrate most matter. A few things it does not penetrate is dense things like bone and lead. Which is why it is often used for making images of bones. They are also used for engineering for looking for small cracks and other things the people might need to fix. They are very more powerful than U.V. rays and can also cause cancer.
6. Gamma rays- Gamma rays produce the highest and shortest waves. They are produced by exploding stars, radioactive substances, and objects in space. They are used for medical need. They destroy cancer cells, help examine the body, and other things.

New President!!
First Article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/20/barack-obama-inauguration-us-speech
Second Article:http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/obama/2009/01/20/barack-obamas-inauguration-is-one-for-the-history-books.html
On the twentieth of January, this year, 2009, we got a new president. Our new president is Barack Obama. He was officially president at 12:01 on the twentieth of January, when President Bush retired from being president. During the inauguration he took an oath and gave a speech and all.
The speech that Obama made about changing everything was co-written by a twenty-seven year old man named Jon Favereau. Jon Favereau is the youngest chief speech writer that was recorded in the white house. Obama talked about a lot of things in his inauguration speech. The economy crisis, and all the things that he promises to take care of. His speech set a very high bar for all the other presidential inauguration speeches.
President Obama's inauguration was on to remeber. He took the same path as Abraham Lincoln. He went on a train to the Capitol stopping in Philadelphia, Willmington, Delaware, and Baltimore, just like President Lincoln. He went on the train with his wife and two daughters, Malia and Sasha. Some presidential inaugurations were more quiet and unnoticed than Barack Obama's for example Ronald Reagan. It was so cold on the inauguration day that he cancled the parade to save the marchers from severe frost bite and much worse conditions.
My opinion of Obama's new presidency is: it's pretty good. He's helping a lot of people if he does things right. But if he does things wrong we're bound to end up a third world country. I really don't care who's president, as long as they do things right, and make things right. I don't want a president who out of fear of being assisnated going incognito. I really don't want that. I want a strong president who will do things right. All in all, Barack Obama is a good president, he apparently knows what to do and will take action.

Girls+ Pink= :)
news url: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1654371,00.html
Summary: People have researched whether girls really like pink or is it just a streotype. In China the results showed that females perferred reddish shades to blue shades of color. Britain on the other hand showed more females in Britain perferred blue shades of color. They believe that women like reddish colors better because of the jobs that they had in the olden days. Women picked red berries. They took care of children with red ruddy cheeks.
My Opinion:
This is pretty cool, how they predicted the reason. Really, who would have thought of that? And how they tested the color preferences was really cool too. They had people pick between a series of two squares with two different colors on them. That would be a cool job.

Class Response: Owl Pellets
Who: Me and my lab partner
What:An owl pellet lab.
When:In science class.
Why: Frankly I have no idea.
How:
1. We take the owl pellet apart.
2. We dig out the bones.
3. We try to identify what animal bones were found in the owl pellet.
4. We put the skeletons together.
5. We're done!
My opinion: I did this in third grade and it wasn't that bad then. When I did again I was grossed out. It wasn't one where its disgusting but fun. When we put the skeletons together it was downright frustrating. Which one went to which animal? Does that go in the legs or arms? Awww, darn it fell off and broke into a thousand pieces! Ugh, the rib's a goner. That was mostly what my partner and I were saying. All in all the lab was good for learning but not that fun.

Sublaptops: Better or Worse Than the Regular?
Link to article: http://tech.msn.com/guides/holidaytech/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=11884513>1=40002
What is it about?: There are new laptops: sublaptops. They're almost the same as the other ones but the questions is are they better?
Positives about the mini laptops:
+ Lower price
+ Smaller and easier to carry
Negetives:
- The screen may be a bit too small for certain people
- There's not as much space
- The battery life might be much to less
Positives about laptops:
+ They have a big screen
+ More space
+ More battery life
Negetives:
- The price
- not very portable
So over all, which one is better?
My opinion:
If you need the whole package(space, long battery and things like that) the laptop might be better. If you need a laptop without a big reason(me) you should get the sublaptop. It really depends on the person and their reason

symbiotic relationships
What Are Symbiotic Relationships?:
Symbiotic relationships are a relationship between two living organism in nature. There are three types of symbiotic relationships. One of which is mutualism where both the organisms benefit. For an example a bug-eating bird and a tree, because the bird eats the bugs and saves the tree from being harmed and the bird gets food. The second relationship is commensalism where two organism have a relationship where one benefits and the other is not harmed. One example is barnacles and whales. The barnacles get a place to live, while the wale doesn't even notice them. The third and the last type of symbiosis is, parasitism. Parasitism is when one organism benefits and the other is harmed. An example of parasitism is dogs and fleas, the fleas get food and a living space, while the dog gets really annoyed by them. Those are all three types of symiosis.
