Earthquakes are becoming very popular. With the devastating earthquake in Haiti consuming the life of many and leaving most without shelter family members and no where else to go. Saturday morning another earthquake hit Chile with a magnitude of 8.8. This earthquake was triggered by an tsunami. The number of deaths is at 700 and is still expected to climb.
The president of Chile has gotten food from grocery stores inside of chile to distribute food freely. This doesn't stop looters at all. Looters are still trying to steal anything and everything. Police officers are spraying tear gas and other substances to stop them from stealing.
Officials believe that people are buried alive. They are trying their best to help them out, thus sending over 10,000 people to help them get out of all the rubble. Hopefully they will save as many people and all these earthquakes would stop or lower in magnitude. This earthquake in Chile reached a magnitude of 8.8 and hit some parts of Argentina and other parts of South America.

http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/news/local/bikers-helping-boy-mauled-by-pit-bull
The article that I read was about a five year old boy named Dylan who was mauled by a pit bull. The boy was playing with his grandfather's pit bull when out of nowhere the pit bull attacked. The boy was saved by a group of bikers who pulled the dog off of the boy.
Dylan had to recieve over 100 stitches to close his wounds on his face. The family cannot afford the plastic surgery that the boy will need. They are hoping to raise the money in the time span needed for a full recovery with the stitches. He has to wait three to six months before he can have the surgery.
I do not believe that the dog just randomly attacked for no reason at all. I believe that the dog was provoked. Dylan is a five year old boy. They tend to be a little distructive. For all we know, he could have been pulling on the dog's tail or hitting the dog, causing him to attack. People may think that pit bulls are dangerous but they are not. I have a pit bull and he would never attack unneccessarily.
Jade i think this is a very sad story he didnt deserve to die so young. I think he was unhappy with stuff that was going on in his family or maybe in his love life. Whatever it was that made himn jump should feel responsible for his death. He was only 18 years old thats when you are in your prime he died too young. I guess everything happens for a reason.

A head of a larger statue was found several years ago in about the same area, along with body parts, such as black slabs and the chest parts.
The statue is a moral of a pharoah of a morally temple. Amenhotep III is the name of the pharoah.who was the grandfather of the famed boy-pharaoh Tutankhamun, ruled from 1387-1348 B.C. at the height of Egypt's New Kingdom and presided over a vast empire stretching from Nubia in the south to Syria in the north.

On Febuaray 6 a woman Sharon Edge called 911 for a ambulance because her boyfriend had severe abdomninal pain. When she called the operator said help was on the way but they never showed up. After several calls to 911 Curtis Mitchell died on his sofa at home.
Curtis was a 50 year-old steel worker. Curtis spent nine days in a hospital in late January. He had been home about a week when he was overcome with pain.

February 6, 2010 Pittsburg, Pennsylvania a 50 year old man died from severe abdominal pain. The man and his girlfriend call 911 numerous of times. Revieving no answer. Nearly 30 hours later — and 10 calls from the couple to 911, four 911 calls to them and at least a dozen calls between 911 and paramedics no one still came.
When the couple called 911, the call wasn't passed on to the 911 operator to another as the shifts changed. So whe the couple was calling it was time for a new shift, so when the new 911 operator got online, the call was accepted as a new incident. Therefore the police took more than a day to arrive. Which is unprofessional.
I feel that the police is not doing a good job as professional officers of the law. They need to have more training, and ethics for situations like so. Therefore the police academy desreves to pay a fine to the man's family for the stupid interpretation, and inconvience.

The devastating earthquake reached a magnitude of 8.8 on the ritcher scale. This quake was utimately more stronger than the jaw-dropping quake in Hatiti recently. Reportedly, it is seven hundred to eight hundred times stronger. The widespread damage in Chile including fifteen-story high rise near the Concepion whih collasped. Also, the country's major highway that goes north-south, was severly damaged at many points.
The quake was followed by seventy-six and all reached 4.9 on the ritcher scale. From the force of the earthquake, it includes a 6.1 magnitude temblor that hit Argentina that killed a fify-eight year old man and an eight year old boy, both lived in separate towns.

There were many people were injured during the horrible earthquake in Chile. While hiding in their bathroom for protection, the apartment buildng suddenly collapsed. A man and his daughter literally held on to each other for dear life. The father and the daughter fell 13 stories.
Roberto Rozas, the father, had just recently purchased his apartment building shortly before the disaster. There were other individuals harmed as well. Firefighters had to use saws to recover the individuals from the rubbish. In all there were 23 people harmed in the apartment building.
This was truly a disaster. These people are now homeless and left without nothing. The people harmed in the apartment complex are just a small part of the population that were injured.
Michael is one of five sdopted children he also tasted fame at a young age. He had a hit song called Paper Roses at the age of 13. He also performed regulary at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel Casino. He was also treated at a rehabilitation facility but Osmond didnt give any more information about that subject.

http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/news/national/sen.-kyl-extended-unemployment-benefits-to-pass
Republicans Sen.Jon Kyl and Sen.Jim Bunning argues about the extension of the unemployment benefits to pass. Sen.Jon Kyl wants the extension of the unemployment benefits to pass because there are many people that are umemployeed in these countries and Sen.Jim Bunning do not want the employment benefits to pass because extending the unemployment benefits will cost $10 billion measure will add to the budget deficit.
The benefits of the package of government programs that are expiring on Sunday because senators could not agree on how to pay to keep them going. Sen.Kyl feel that congress should find a way to extend the unemployment benefits before the republican go along, even though it cost much more money. In my opinion, I feel that people that become unemployeed or laid off do not deserve to be cut off of their governmental help becasue they may not recieve the same income as other people do and they did not ask to be unemployeed or laid off from their jobs.
