Notes:
Man holds hosatge in Denver apartment
By Joey Bunch
A carjacking suspect is holding at least one hostage in a Denver apartment tonight after a high-speed chase.
As he fled, he fired at least one shot at pursuing police officers.
He took members of a family that were unknown to him hostage, Saunier said. Saunier said the suspect is wanted in a series of carjackings and other crimes.
"There's been a lot of time and effort put into these crimes by this suspect" Saunier said.
Essay: REDO!!!!!
In the article “Man Holds Hostage in Denver Apartment” By Joey Bunch, what matters to the suspect who at this time is not identified or named is car jacking and just being a criminal this is what we’ve heard from Lt. Ron Saunier. He is holding at least one hostage in a Denver apartment as I tell you this news. This is something that is out of the ordinary, usually the criminal wants something for the hostage. He didn't want anything. He has done this carjacking before and so he may be mentally disturbed and committing crimes makes him feel better. This can be true with many people doing things out of the ordinary to get attention. At this point all it is, is an educated guess by the police. But they can confirm that “There’s been a lot of time and effort put into these crimes by this suspect”.

“Fort Carson solider Charged with Murder” Kirk Mitchell wrote about how far people are willing to go to prove themselves. Robert Hull Marko, 21, was charged with 19 felony counts including first degree murder. I think we all have something to hide or something we want to be and we use things like the internet to build up our self esteem. Marko used Myspace as a mask to his weaknesses and he made himself someone who was feared and was exceptionally tough. I hide from my problems a lot as does everyone and eventually we face it and deal with it but Robert waited and hid so long he couldn’t just face it he needed to become the person he was on the internet. He became a Fort Carson solider to be able to fight people and be able to be violent. In the end he only ended up hurting himself and the victims who felt his rage. I think this is a good lesson for everyone to not hide behind something your not and you need to face things with a positive attitude.

In the article “Hurt Climber Found” By Kieran Nicholson, We learn that the fight for your life is a huge test of tolerance and strength. When Michael Welch of Ireland,fell almost 40 feet while climbing with some friends in Black Canyon. When we hear about these stories we think how much we second guess life. We seem to think things that are so small are the most important thing. When Welch fell I bet the only thing important anymore was staying alive and staying alive in a situation like that is not as easy as it sounds. I can’t even imagine what the two climbers who were with him were thinking. That is so much pressure to know someone is dying below you and you need to do something. So what we need to think about is that life is something you can never take for granted and we need to make smart decisions about what is going to keep us safe.

Sue Lindsay's article "Denver Cop pleads guilty in beating teen" Is a scary reminder that humans are not even near perfect but this does not give Charles Porter a right to attack 16 year old Juan Vasquez. Charles Porter got what he deserved being charged with a first degree assault. This is not something to be overlooked we need to analyze how we are put in danger even by the people you would least expect. It hits me hard to know that someone who is supposed to keep us safe and enforce the law is willing to break it for a situation that could be handled much more maturely. Porter went over to the kids who were drinking and as he approached Juan ran off as any teen in trouble would but where it gets out of hand is that when he caught Juan instead of arresting him he decided to beat him. What matters to me is feeling safe and knowing that I can see a cop as a good guy not someone to be afraid of.

Notes: 1 of 8 couples in the U.S met online
the # of text messages sent everyday exceeds the world population
21 year olds have talked on the phone for 10,000 hours
“Did you know?”
In Carl Fisch’s “Did you know?” what matters is we need to realize that we have underestimated what the world can comprehend and do. First, 2006 college graduates out of the U.S, India, and China we had the least amount of college graduates (1.3 million) and china had the most (3.3 million). We think the rest of the world has no good learning techniques but they seem to be doing more than we do like all the college graduates in India speak fluent English. But I think what matters the most is that we have become so attached to technology that we have become extremely lazy. Like Americas 21 year olds have talked on the phone for at least 10,000 hours, and the number of text messages sent every day exceeds the population. And what has come most striking to me is that 1 of 8 couples in the U.S today met online. And for the computer to get 50 million users/ fans only took 4 years. So for the most part what matters in the video “Did you know” is we need to become less dependent on technology or at least realize how it is affecting us. Also we cannot underestimate the rest of the world because soon enough they may just pass us up.
