An example of the new whiteboards

A Minnesota school lost two students in 2003 due to a shooting.  To make the school safer for teachers and students they installed bullet proof white boards.

The school received nearly 200 18x20 whiteboards, which are made of a material that is stronger than that in police issued vests.  The boards will act as shields in any emergency.

"We put this board to the test, and quite frankly, that was the day I became a believer" said Chief Jones.  I think that the boards are a very good idea, but i feel as though they would benefit more if the boards were bigger.

Current Event #5

An eleven year old boy saved his mothers life my dialing 911 then performing CPR.  He found his mother unconscious after he got home from school Friday.

He followed the 911 instructors directions to save his mothers life.  The police then came and took over CPR until the paramedics arrived.

I think this little boy is very brave and mature.  He kept his calm during the whole thing, which is how he was able to save his mothers life.

The girls that saved their father

A man from Oregon was trapped under a 3,000 pound tractor  and his two daughters managed to just lift it off of him.  He said he was just doing yard work when he was pinned to the ground the steering wheel.

His two daughters, ages 16 and 14, had just got home from school when they heard their father scream.  The girls ran to their fathers side.  They called 911 but decided they couldn't wait for the emergency crew so they each grabbed a side of the tractor and started lifting.

I think the girls had a lot of adrenaline rushing through their bodies, which is why they were able to lift the tractor.  They were very brave.

One happy dog

Reflection:
This is my dog lily waiting to be allowed to get on the trampoline.  She loves jumping on it everyday.  It was taken with an iphone in the middle of the day with natural lighting.

 I like this photo because of the contrast of the light sun hit leaves with the dark color of her fur.  I also like it because she just looks so happy to be able to jump again.  I dislike this photo because of how the outer bar of the trampoline doesn't go straight across the foreground.

Gladys the gorilla

Some zoo workers in Cincinnati are playing the role of this baby gorillas mother by wearing all black outfits, grunting affectionately, and imitating mother gorillas to help the baby adjust to a new home.  When she gets older, they will take it a step further and wear hairy vests and carry the baby gorilla on their backs.

"Whatever a gorilla mom would do with her baby s what we have to do with this baby" says Ron Evans who is the zoo's primate team leader.  Ron heads a team of 10 people who switch our every eight hours to provide 24 hour care.
