Jocelyn Kirsch and her ex-boyfriend commented ID theft and other crimes so i guess they do deserve to go to Jail for five years. Jocelyn is a lawyer, in my point of view i don't think that this is right that a lawyer would steal some ones else's "life" but in a better way" they get spoiled they get to buy whatever they want and they don't care how much it cost, it inst there money.They get to live the fabulous life when some other family has to pay off what they bought, or paid for.They admitted that they BOTH stole some one else. Just to let you see how they lived, they rented an apartment that cost 3,000 a month, they went to Europe couple of times. They will truly enjoy there life in prison now.

Antwan "Big Boi" Patton is known for his bass-booming, chart-topping smash hits. I have listened to a couple of his songs i think that they are great. He usally just composes songs that are rap or hiphop, and now he is doing ballet. he wrote something thing that inspired Lauri Stallings."Although it may seem off the traditional path, it's certainly in the realm of ballet collaborations," she said. "I think it's always a wonderful moment when someone first experiences classical ballet within the context of their life ... and ['big'] seems like the ideal one to do that." i always thought that ballet and hiphop was a big diffret but now i think that they are sort the same beacsue hiphop music can be used for ballet. I read all this information here.

So we went to see people from a program talk, the program was called "Jericho Program",they all talked about their lives how they know that the gang/drug life isn't the way to go. The most unexpected people were up there, if you see them on the street you would have not noticed that they were all into that, or that they even were in jail,or prison. They are in that program because they want to change, they don't want to still have the same life that they have lived and they know that they can die if they continue that same life. 10 people talking about almost they same things, all there to do the same thing. What i understood was that they live in a house,just like regular people, but if they don't do their chores they might end up back in jail or even in prison. What really shocked me was that even if you try any type of drug for the first time you might end up in the hospital or even dead.I have always wanted to know what the "prison life" was like, and it doesn't sound like anything that you see on TV, they say that its all lies till you live it. People get killed and rapped in jail, that really scares me.I still don't understand what they meant by if you in a gang your fighting someones else fight that was started way back then.I really enjoyed that they took there time to come and talk to us and try to see that if we join a gang or do drugs that is the life that we might end up living, and they don't want that. It really hurt their family members, i imagine if that happen to me, my grandma would b really disappointment in me. Thank you for coming out to speak with us. :D

Imagine going to go get lunch, and then you see someone die. Firefighter shot, killed exchanging kids meal, the firefighter that was killed was Rafael Vazquez, he was off duty. The family was really affected by this no one wanted to say anything about his shooting. Four other people were hurt, no one knows why Alburn Edward Blake, the shooter, chose Wendy's to attack. After that he shot Vazquez and injured four others, Louis Rader, Antonia ,Vanessa Soto and Carl Michalek he committed suicide. What really surprises me is that he didn't pick a place full of people nor did he pick a place that was away from people. Blake didn't have a recorded for violence he just had that he accidentally ran over an 18-month-old girl with his van. After police searched Blake's house they did not find anything bad, except pills, and his neighbors say that he was really quiet and did not talk to a lot of people. Vasquez had a wife and five kids, four from previous relationships. usually you would think that the gunman would have said something before he took his life but he didn't.

A Flim about the real thing, caught my attention. I think that poeple that dont thing Teenagers have it the hard way should watch this flim. I guess it is about how couple of highschoolers live in there high school and how a homecoming queen really is and the life of a jock, a loner, and a girl who likes to draw. "American Teen" was made by the teenagers them self,it is the real life, this is what one of the students had to say "I learned that people liked me. I never pictured myself as a likable person, but seeing people cheering for me in the theater, that really lifted my spirits."Really it changed them to be in the flim and it changed the way they look at other people and the way people look at them. I thought that everyone that was in the flim was Burstein's freinds,but it seemd weird becsue a jock,loner,homecoming queen,band geek and more where ferind. Burstein explained that she had to go all over her town, and around her town, just to find her perfect cast for the flim.I think that it would be really cool to be in a film like this or to derect one, it was just be the real life no one will be fake. Being a teenager comes with alot of drama and alot of romance and i think that it will be intresting to see how other poeple deal with it beacuse people deal with alot of things many diffrent ways. I hope that "American Teen" becomes big and that people will be able to go see it at a movie theater.

For me wireless technology means something without a wire.A computer requires a hard drive so it can work, a laptop is like a computer but your able to take it any where. Also you can use the internet without a wire."The term is commonly used in the telecommunications industry to refer to telecommunications systems." No day almost everything is Wireless technology, phones,laptops,headphones,ear peices, and bunch of stuff."Different types of wireless solutions can communicate ten feet, ten miles, or with a satellite in orbit."Before, and i want to go to the backyard and do my homework there but i cant just take the laptop out side and do it there because it would be connected to the wall.Now that i have a thing that sends a wireless connection to my laptop I can go do it out side if i feel like it and get it done while my dad is on the computer.I just noticed that the remote and the TV are wirless.I guess that this is important beceuse ifthere was no cellphones and you got lost in the middle of no where, no one would know that you are lost or where you are.

"Insourcing is a business practice in which work that would otherwise have been contracted out is performed in house. "I really dont understand what insourcing is beacuse the defaniton is all hard to explain.Insourcing is a type of outsourcing,involves bringing in specialists to fill temporary needs onsite.I guess that it is something that you can do while you are in your house."For example, a company based in Japan might open a plant in the United States for the purpose of employing American workers to manufacture Japanese products. From the Japanese perspective this is outsourcing, but from the American angle it constitutes insourcing. Nissan, a Japanese automobile manufacturer, has in fact done this."This is important becuse i guess you can just have your own little company in Japn while you have a company in the U.S,more money here that over there.
