Stimulus Is Focus in New York

The biggest political matchup in the country right now pits a seasoned Republican lawmaker against an unknown Democrat in one of New York’s most traditionally conservative Congressional districts.National Republican leaders have vowed to make the contest a turning point for their beleaguered party.the $787 billion federal stimulus package — appears to be providing the Democratic newcomer, Scott Murphy, with some traction in the campaign to succeed Senator Kirsten E Gillibrand in the House of Representatives.

This is very interesting.

Cuts for the Imperial Guardian Program for the elderly & disabled

Guardianship Program is a small organization that protects elderly and disabled people who have no one else to act as their legal guardians, has not been around long enough to stand out in the labyrinth of social service agencies and nonprofit groups that work on behalf of the city’s most vulnerable residents. leaving more than 100 people who are served by the program to be transferred to other services, and ending what some advocates viewed as a promising model for revamping the state’s troubled guardianship program. If this Program falls, who will protect the elderly and disabled people?

Class Response#3

In my science class we are learning alot about Newtons laws. Such as, Gravity, Motion and more. And we are making projects such as skate parks and rollercoasters to prove his theorys. It is a very interesting subject and I feel it is very interesting how Gravity occurs. And i find it interesting how a object such as a ball would be called a fluid. There are 3 laws. And motions, the motions are sliding, rolling, and fluid.

-This is a very interesting and fun subject, i cant wait to learn more.
