Scott committed 2nd Degree Murder, and was signed into wrestling a year after these charges. A couple years later he was signed into WWE and eventually the WWF. He became addicted to alcohol, cocaine, painkillers, and several other prescription medicines. Of course he ended up with several heart problems and he suffered seizures. He is taking 11 types of medicine a day and has been to rehab 10 times. The WWE attempted to help him out, but he is still in a sad condition.
Scott Hall's wife divorced him, and he lost rights to the kids. Scott is now trying to get his son to become a professional wrestler. The ex-wife is hoping that her son doesn't become a mess like her husband was. Scott has also been faking events, and has had to check into the hospital after them. Scott was on top of the world, and now has dropped down to the bottom.

Josiah has a disease were he becomes prematurely old. Josiah was born as a normal healthy boy. However, he was only able to gain 2 pounds in 6 months. Josiah is expected to live from 8 to 13 years. Josiah for the first years of his life spent his time in the hospital, and his sickness kept coming. When they turned off the ventilators they expected Josiah to be dead. However, the baby was alive the next day. His dream of playing baseball came true when he played a little league game. After this game, he suffered multiple strokes. He played 2 games after recovery, and multiple people have approached the mother to tell her that her son has inspired them.

If this was a rehab center why would they chain them up and force them to work. I don't understand what this facility was truly used for. The polo story was inspirational giving these kids a chance to play this "wealthy" man sport. It was heartbreaking hearing the ones from their team losing to those streets. The girl of the team was shot dead with her family, and Kareem's brother got into jail. This sport got this boy out off the streets.
The team went on later to win the National Championships for kids. Then, they became the first African American team to win a National Championship for polo. Kareem is now attending a junior college in upstate New York, and next year Kareem will play for Cornell on their polo team for a free. This story shows that with enough effort you can do anything.

There is gender segregation in Jereulsalem. This isn't fair to the slightest. I can understand that they feel offended by the way women may dress. However, this is a little extreme. They have even gone to defacing advertisements with women on it. Of course there is protest, and I hope these people the best. Women should be seen and heard.

I saw some fingertip-less gloves for touchscreens, and I thought it was kind of stupid. Also, an Atari app that allows you to play the classics with joysticks and buttons. There was also the kindle fire for kids. 3000 deaths were caused by distracted driving/using phones, etc. Texting creates a great distraction while driving, and has a long period of time before you watch the room.

There was a shooting at Virginia Tech again. It was quite unfortunate because these murders are being compared to the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting. The officer was a four year veteran of the Virginia Tech team. The college is under protection of the SWAT members, and the shooter has not been found. The shooter might have been the second discovered body. The police are still not sure. Two bodies have been found. I hope the best for the policeman's family, and the second body's family if he is not the shooter.

Mythbusters has failed a test and destroyed the property of many others. They aimed for some trashcans but missed and the cannon went into Dublin, California. The cannonball could have killed others, and it destroyed a car that was parked a couple minutes prior to the accident. H.Y.P.E. is a non for profit business that helps kids get fit, and helps with their grades and homework. Good luck Mr. B with your business, and I thank you for helping kids that need it.

It is sad to hear that a student was expelled from school because of having a disease. This disease is HIV, and the student was deemed dangerous to others. This is a stupid decision, since HIV is spread out through certain situations. This student wouldn't practice these behaviors. I would feel completely comfortable near a student with this disease unless he was gay. But if he was gay I would avoid situations like this. He seems like a normal kid though.

The tent monster thing is so stupid that I don't blame the police from just walking away. They were just running around in tents, and I don't get it. I mean it's funny, but why would you ever do that? The floating tents is some what creative, and they will have to wait to get the tents down. I like the idea though. Still I don't understand the occupy movement, and it is just being a burden on others.

The idea of a church banning a interracial couple from going to a church and banned from getting married there. The pastor banned them because he didn't want for his granddaughter to think it is okay to marry a black guy. This is just so disappointing to see people still showing racism in churches of all places. I don't really understand why this is taking place in Indiana of all places. You would expect this to come from Tennessee or Alabama. It also annoyed me that some people support the pastor's decision of preventing them from getting married at that church. This is just a disappointment.

This idea of using cue cards to buy online is stupid to me. Why go to a store just to buy something online? I mean it is kind of nice to see the product in real life, but you still get it on your doorstep. I don't get the point of it at all. This is just more of a show off of Ebay's technology. This idea isn't going anywhere. I could just go to the site originally and save me some time.

Three teenage boys saved a toddler from drowning in a canal, and that is a nice thing that they did. If they weren't there the toddler would have drowned, and the family would be heartbroken. I like how the teens were humble, and did not take total credit for saving of a life. They definitely did not gloat on their success. The grandfather was truly appreciative of the teens, and said they were a gift from god. I'm a little curious of how the baby got over the fence, and why no one was there.
