Pollution At Los Angeles County

I was reading yesterday an article from the LA Times by Hector Becerra stating that three of the ten most polluted ZIP codes in California are from the Los Angeles County. The top three places on the list of polluted ZIP Codes were all in the San Joaquin Valley: Fresno, Bakersfield and Stockton. In fact, two of the most polluted ZIP Codes were in Fresno and three were in Stockton. Once I finished reading this, I asked myself a question: Why am I not surprised?

A Bomb at Santa Monica College?

At the Los Angeles Times Newspaper, Richard Winton, Kurt Streeter and Andrew Blankstein wrote today, April 23, 2013, a really surprising report. After the bombing at Boston, fear of other possible bomb threats spread throughout the nation. Many people, mistakenly thinking there is a bomb, have increasingly called the bomb squad around five to seven times a day. Santa Monica College, was a mere reflection of these calls for fear of the possibility of there being a bomb anywhere. The popular college was evacuated Tuesday to eliminate any risk for the students.

Hey guys it’s me again! I stumbled into a post from the LA Times about cyber bullying by the LA Times staff on April 12 around 9 pm. It’s unfortunate bullying still goes on around the globe. Today, a victim of such a happening commits suicide. After being sexually assaulted by three high school boys, 15-year-old Audrie Pott hanged herself in September. Students shared photos of the boy’s attack on their cell phones, tempting her to commit suicide. It’s sad that these things happen but I’m afraid  bullying is never going to end unless we take strong actions against it!
