foriegners flee libya

Thousands of foreigners have been evacuated from Libya, while others are at ports and airports in efforts to leave the country.  Turkey says it has evacuated 7,000 of its citizens.   Britain is debating whether its military will be needed to move out 170 oil workers and their colleagues who are stranded in Libya.  Poor weather forced a U.S. ferry to remain in port overnight in Tripoli, slowing efforts to evacuate Americans to Malta.
India has around 18,00 citizens in the country.  It is just a lot of choas there.

I got 22 out of 30.  I fell i know quite a bit about this topic and Collin cheated on it.  He cheats because he did not want to get a bad grade because he is not as smart as some of us.  There are also many factors that went into it he would look off my screen and cheat.  That is why he has good grades.

1st Ad Quiz

I got 24 out of 30.  Most of this stuff we learned in government class freshman year so I am kind impressed on how much i remembered.  There were a few questions that i did not know but other than that i thought most of them were easy.  Some of the questions were even common sense.  Thats all I did for the first admendment quiz.

Bomb Sniffing Mice

According to Palestinian daily efforts to counter this infestation have failed, especially since cats run away from rats because of their size and ferocity.   Efforts involving rodents are exponentially more sophisticated.   The mice are trained explosives and narcotics detectors with greater reliability than mechanical sensors.  The mice were put to the test during a December 2009 in a controlled experiment in which explosive charges were planted on twenty-two people scattered throughout a mall. The BioExplorers said the mice went 22 for 22.

President targets $350M for Great Lakes cleanup

President Obama's 2012 budget calls for spending $350 million on Great Lakes cleanup program.  The proposal represents a cut from the $475 million that Obama proposed and Congress approved for the Great Lakes Restoration during his first year in office.   In 2008, Obama pledged $5 billion over a decade for the program, which would battle invasive species, step up removal of toxic sediments, restore wildlife habitat and take many steps to fix environmental problems in the Great Lakes.

Trade Liriano? It isn't just crazy talk

Liriano, 27, can become a free agent after the 2012 season.  He might never have a higher trade value.   The Twins don't plan to sign him long term. They avoided arbitration with a one-year, $4.3 million deal.  He had Tommy John elbow surgery in 2006 and he still has a violent delivery.  Twins seem content to maximize his current value.  They can have him for about 65 starts over the next two years and get two draft picks if he leaves as a free agent.  Liriano might seem like the closest thing the Twins have to a true No. 1 pitcher.  I belive that they should not trade liriano.

Ice fishing goes upscale in Mille Lacs, Minn.

These family rooms are like any other — except walleye come up through the floor

From about Thanksgiving through the end of February, it’s Minnesota fun spot. More than 5,000 fish houses sit on the frozen lake.  In theses houses there are gas stoves, ovens, PlayStations and flat screens with Direct TV.  Inside, the tempature is set to a comfortable 72 degrees, the walls are paneled like man cave game rooms and the happy occupants are dressed in shorts and T-shirts.  But at any moment, they're ready to haul a trophy walleye straight through the floor.  A really tasty walleye is about 17-inches long.  This is all in minnesota and many people do this from minnesota.

The game was really enteertaining. I think that the steelers just beat themselves.  There were many injuries during the game so it made hte game go slowwer.  The game was in Texas this year.  There were really no great commercials during the game.

title: Texas, Southern states coated with snow, sleet and freezing rain
    In Texas they got a bunch of snow and it is right before the superbowl that they are going to have in Arlington.  Dallas was under a winter storm warning Friday. Temperatures were in the low 20s, and it had snowed up to 6 inches in places.  The International airport remained closed Friday due to ice.  Houston also closed schools on Friday.  In Oklahoma, a vehicle slid off a bridge and fell 80 feet into a river along Interstate 44, killing at least three people on Thursday.  I think that this weather is just crazy.  Also where is global warming because it has been colder the last couple of winters in Texas than usaul.  That is all i have to say about this.

The people at mnsbc beileve that the packers will win the superbowl this year.  There reasons were that Green Bays Quarterback, recievers, offensive line, deffensive line, kicker, punter and punt returner are better then what the steelers had.  They believe it will be a close game but the packers would have an edge.  They said the steelers had better coaches and a few other things.
