Patrick Swayze

Patrick Swayze died this monday after a two-year long battle with pancreatic cancer. He is well remembered and much praised by his fellow actors and celebrities.

Somalie Pirates and Greek ship

Somali pirates realeased a Greek-owned ship and its 21 Filipino crewmembers. They were released after the pirates received a $2m ransom. They had been held captive since last April

Elton John's adoption

Elton John wants to adopt a 14-month-old Ukrainian boy, but the government will not let him because he is too old and unmarried. Elton John met the boy at an orphanage he toured because of his Aids Foundation. He says he still wants to adopt but isn't sure how.

Iraq shoe-thrower

It takes place in Iraq. It is about the Iraqi journalist, Muntadar al-Zaidi. He was arrested last December for throwing a shoe at then-President Bush. He claims to have been tortured while in jail. Now he demands an apology from officials and says he will name them later.

Disaster Maze

The disaster maze could educated kids about staying away form powerlines, debris, etc. during a storm. It probably wouldn't be a super useful tool, though...it was just super easy and there are definately better ways to prepare kids for hurricanes.

Hurricane House

The hurricane house game could help educate kids about how to prepare for a hurricane by showing them different things that would prove hazardous during a storm. It would probably be good to play this game with kids along with teaching them about hurricane preparedness so they will be ready for anything.

Crash Scene

Like the brain surgery I could never tell what was happening due to the lack of sound and captions. Probably the most intersting part of the activity was the fact that it made me think about people actually having to go out and reconstruct crash scenes...which I now know to be tedious and time consuming.

Brain Surgery

During brain surgery I could never tell what anyone was saying because there was no caption, so I just went along clicking buttons and doing whatever. The brain surgery was definately the most violent of all the activities, definately a weird assignment. Even though the site is for little kids, parental guidance is definately suggested.
