Utah students hide guns, head to class.
The senior at the University of Utah gets dressed and then decides which gun is easiest to conceal under his clothes. If he's wearing a T-shirt, he'll take a smaller, low-profile gun to class. If he's wearing a coat, he may carry a different weapon, he said.Nick, who asked not to be fully identified so his fellow students wouldn't know he carried a gun, says he has had a concealed weapons permit for more than three years. But it was Seung-Hui Cho's murderous campus rampage that made him take a gun to class.
I don't really know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, because from one side he's defending himself, but in the other hand he is a threat because he's carrying a gun everyday, and somebody could steal his gun, or the man himself could one day flip out, and kill a lot of people.

Clinton's election night speech fails to mention election.
Three times may make a trend: for the third primary/caucus night in a row, Hillary Clinton has taken the stage at a post-election rally and failed to mention her losses, or congratulate her winning opponent, Barack Obama.She spent Tuesday night at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, looking ahead to the primary there on March 4. She made no mention of Wisconsin.
What a bad loser, because she's supposed to be the better woman and congratulate her adversary after beating her in yet another state.Then again: it's also been traditional for candidates to delay their remarks to avoid overlapping with their opponents' speeches. Obama began his victory speech in Texas Tuesday while Hillary Clinton was still addressing the crowd in Ohio — and most of the networks cut away from her event mid-speech.

Castro resigns as president.
Fidel Castro announced his resignation as president of Cuba and commander-in-chief of Cuba's military Tuesday, according to a letter published in the state-run newspaper, Granma.The resignation ends nearly a half-century of iron-fisted rule that inspired revolutionaries but frustrated 10 U.S. presidents.Castro revealed his plans without notice by publishing a letter in the middle of the night in state-run newspaper Granma.
I am simply shocked, i'm not cuban, but i'm still pretty shocked that Castro reigned, I always thought that he would die before resigning. I don't intend to be a pesimist, but something is just weird....after half a century he's just going to quit? I don't know but something doesn't convince me.

Writers vote to end 3-month strike.
The Writers Guild of America said its members voted Tuesday to end their devastating, three-month strike that brought the entertainment industry to a standstill.Writers will be back on the job Wednesday after voting in Beverly Hills and New York."It was a fair deal and one that the companies can live with, and it recognizes the large contribution that writers have made to the industry."
To be honest, i don't really care about this at all,and the only reason i wrote about this is because there wasn't anything more interesting than this.I guess it's kind of good because the writers are the ones responsible for coming up with the good movies, but then again it's not really the big deal at all.

Chavez threatens to cut off U.S. oil shipments.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened Sunday to cut off his country's oil shipments to the United States if a court ruling goes forward ordering Venezuelan assets be frozen in a case brought by Exxon Mobil.Personally i think that Hugo Chavez should be taken out of power,but the people from Venezuela chose their own destiny.
One court orders that Venezuela be frozen," he said on his weekly television and radio program "Hello, President." "If you wind up freezing and hurt us, we will hurt you. Do you know how? We are not going to send oil to the United States."I think that this is not a good idea because not sending oil to the U.S.A will hurt Venezuela as well as the United States so unless Chavez finds someone else to sell petroleum to, i think he should stick with the U.S.A, and don't blame them for something that Exxon did.

Five shot to death at City Council meeting in Missouri.
A gunman killed five people and wounded two at a police station and City Council meeting in suburban St. Louis on Thursday night before officers shot and killed him, police said.To me this is nothing new, since there are a lot of psychos out there right now.Supposedly the shooter killed three cops, and left the mayor in a critical state.
I think that the people of this town is really scared, because before this, this used to be a small and pacific town were nothing exiting happened and noe is a town that is slowly gettiing filled with crime.Even though the police said that the citizens shouldn't be worried, people are still afraid that something like that might happen again.I personally would be scared because even quiet small towns are getting serial killers.

Microsoft bid has Yahoo cornered.
Microsoft Corp.'s $41 billion takeover bid appears to have backed Yahoo Inc. into a corner, leaving the struggling Internet pioneer with the unpleasant choice of selling to a detested rival or pursuing other agonizing alternatives likely to require the help of an even fiercer foe, Google Inc.
I feel bad for Yahoo! because i always thought it was a solid company,but apparently its not.Yahoo is now cornered into selling to a bitter enemy or just giving in to its fiercest competitor so i guess this is what you get when you don't have good financial management.
