When I saw the photograph I laughed, man that guys tired. Then I thought to myself he must be at work or had a long day. After reading the article it’s about Americans being concerned about money. Therefore they are losing sleep or not getting any because of money concerns.
A new study was done that shows Americans are having trouble sleeping. People are too worried about finances these days. According to the survey 9 out of 10 Americans are losing sleep becasue of money issues.
The study was done by ComPsych Corporation which has contracts with companies to assist employees with problems and issues. Many of the peoples concerns are the rising cost of living and credit card debt. Some other concerns are school tuition and medical care. I guess this makes sense with the current problems here in America. Hopefully things will get figured out and people can start getting a good night sleep. Check out the details of the study by following the link below.

I first thought this photo was going to have something to do with hunting season opening or something along those lines; never did I think it would deal with the economy. Apparently gun sales are up 8 to 10, which is really interesting due to the fact that the economy is failing so badly. I wonder what other sales are up in this failing economy? What do you think? This really gives a whole new meaning to Economics class and Guns VS. Butter.

Sunday night there was a shooting at the University of Central Arkansas. Two students were killed and one student is wounded. One of the students was killed on the spot, and the other one died in the hospital. The wounded student was shot in the leg and was released from the Hospital.The campus went on lock down and Monday classes were cancelled. Faculty and students where emailed at 9:30 pm to stay in there dorm rooms. It was the first time the campus had to use there new automated system after they purchased it after the Virginia Tech massacre last year.

It's scary to think that a shooting can happen anywhere. That you are not safe even when you think you are. Living on campus anything can happen so the best thing you can do is be smart. Dont walk alone on campus at night. Have a buddy system two to three people, you will feel safer. Next if your scared about walking on campus talk to University Police or any faculty member, I am sure they can help you with whatever you need. It's best to think smart when incidents like this are happening.

These pumpkins are the coolest things I have ever seen! I can barely cut triangles into a pumpkin and there are people carving Sarah Palin and Barack Obama's faces. These pumpkins are just a sample of how people are using Halloween to get political. One family even has a spider web with politicians trapped in it! Gone are the days of using ghosts and witches to scare the neighborhood. Just put a Palin pumpkin or Obama-lantern(yes I thought of that myself) in your window and everyone will go running and screaming from your house! Who would have thought Halloween could be so political?

A bit shady and grey, but this picture of a potential UFO does catch your attention. The "UFO" has a very frisbee like appearance, however given that the picture was taken in 1957, maybe we shouldn't be so quick to judge.

Thanks to secret files made public this last monday, this story which remained silenced for over 30 years has now been made public. Apparently two U.S. fighter planes were called on May of 1957 to respond and shoot down an unidentified "object" flying over the rural parts of England during the Cold War. The pilots found that the object would hover motionless and then suddenly reach speeds upwards of 7,600 mph. Seemingly impossible with the technology of the period.

The pilots had their lock on the object and were about to shoot twenty four rockets to bring it down, when instantly it vanished from radar. The pilots returned to base and were briefed, as routine, when a mysterious man threatened them with a "national security breach" if they ever said a word about the event. Now made public years later, any evidence implying UFO or otherwise, is very scarce. We may never know whether this incident was proof of extra-terrestrial life or a secret military project, as some have alluded to, but these pilots standby what they saw and are still hoping for answers.

When I saw this picture I felt good and thought it was a great photograph. A nice day with the flag strung up and the Washington Monument in the background. It’s a great shot and it caught my eye. Right away it made me think about what’s going on in our country. Of course in a few weeks a new president will be elected. This is going to be very important time for the future of the United States. I’m nervous about what’s in store for the future, how about you?
This photo is from an article about a national poll that was recently done concerning the current state of the country. Only one quarter of the people polled felt good about the way things are going. I myself feel unsure about the direction of the country. It seems that other people are unsure as well. The article states that people are scared, are you scared of what’s going on? This simple photo of the flag has stirred many emotions.

This photo was taken in Afghanistan and it looks to me as if Afghanistan guards are stopping cars for no apparent reason. When actually,a woman who was 34 was gunned down by someone from the Taliban,for trying to spread her faith: Christianity throughout Kabul Afghanistan. In this photo the guards were actually stopping taxi cabs to see if they knew what happened to the woman and why. The Taliban did take full responsibility for their actions, but in reality is it necessary to kill someone for what they believe in? Last year a group of 23 South Korean aid workers from a church group were taken hostage in southern Afghanistan. Two were killed and the rest were released. In 2001 with international aid workers including two Americans were imprisoned and charged with preaching Christianity.
When is this going to end? These people are just here to help those who need it, they want nothing more then to serve the lord and know that in some way they are helping people. If people are willing to learn a new faith and want to change their lives for the better, they should have that right. They shouldn't be afraid of being murdered for something they believe in.
