My Responge to Devils Rule.

My Response to Devils Rule about his Duchene Muscular Dystrophy Disease. Duchene Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic disorder that affects the way that people move and use their skills like jumping. This seems like a very serious genetic disease. And to find that this can happen from teens through age 30 is very scary! I wonder why this disease can spread? It is very odd that this disease can even exist! I find it very interesting that this disease causes fatigue? In my opinion this is a interesting disease. This disease also causes awkward manners of walking, frequent falls, difficulty with motor skills, fatigue, and muscle weakness. I feel very scared because this can happen to anyone anytime. I believe this is one of the very bad diseases.

The common Population in the U.S. for Cri Du Chat is, 1/20,000-50,000 newborns in U.S. The population that is most vulnerable is France because this disease is from France. The Molecular level with the genes that cause the disease, it is caused by a deletion of portions of the “p” arm of the 5th chromosome.

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.
