On Monday British, French and Cypriot aircraft and a U.S. warship joined rescue crews searching the Mediterranean Sea off Lebanon's coast, where an Ethiopian Airlines flight crashed with 90 people aboard. Later the crews found 21 bodies but no survivors. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 409 left Rafik Hariri International Airport in Beirut about 2:30 a.m. and was headed to the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. It disappeared from radar a few minutes after the takeoff. Fourteen bodies were brought to Beirut Hospital.

We think its good that they found some survivors. We also think that it was shocking that the airplane crashed and that a lot of people died. And we think that next time they should have more precaution and that it is sad that there were a lot of losses. Also we think that a lot of people lost their family.

Former Guatemalan president charged in U.S.A. for money-laundering-
Author: N/A
Date:January 25
Former President Alfonso Portillo is accused for money-laundering by U.S. people. He was chased down and caught, and now, U.S.aians the ones that think that are Americans, are asking us that if Portillo can be deported and be brought down to U.S. for punishment. A big judge indicated his punishment. Portillo stole 1.5 million dollars from Taiwan worth of donations. Portillo used the money stolen for expensive cars and other luxuries.
In our opinion, Portillo is selfish, for using the stolen money from his governance just to buy expensive cars and luxuries. We also think he made a lot of bad things like killing, stealing and being a bad president for Guatemala but know I think is really good that he is in jail but they should also bust the plenty of other bad people in Guatemala. And we think its good they found him, so he should pay for everything he did. Hopefully Guatemala will inprove in the future in there security.

Boy, 7, raises $240,000 for Haiti appeal

Charlie Simpson, a seven-year-old boy raised more than $240,000 for the Haiti earthquake. This kid form Fulham, London had in mind to raise £500 to help Haiti by cycling five miles around a local park. He wanted to make some money so he could buy food, water, and tents for everyone in Haiti. He made a web page that was a fundraiser page for Haiti. A lot of people entered the site and began to donate. More donations began pouring in and then he passed the £100,000 mark thanks to the British media. The money raised by Charlie Simpson will go to UNICEF's Haiti Earthquake Children's Appeal that will pay for water, sanitation, education, nutrition, and child protection.
We think that if a boy of 7 years old can raise that amount of money, we can raise much more. That is a nice boy and very intelligent. We also think that its very nice that a boy such age can think so strongly about Haitians that he actually could make $240,000. He has a lot of courage.

Miep Gies, Anne Frank protector, dies at 100
Author- Unknown
Date- January 11, 2010
Miep Gies, who protected the diary of Anne Frank, which did not fall into the hands of Nazis after the teen's arrest, died at the age of 100. She and other three protected Anne Frank's family of four, plus another four. When they were betrayed, two of Miep's team were arrested for fraud, she and another friend were left behind with Frank's diary. Miep respected Anne's privacy, and didn't read the diary, which was given to her(Anne) by Otto, her father, which was a gift from Gies.
Our opinion is that its sad that such a hero, both for Jews, and for anyone else died. She was a good person, and we hope she'll rest in peace. We also think that it was shocking that she died and that she was one of our best sources to know about Anne Frank. We also think that a great idol died, and that its sad because although she might have suffered alot, they mantained them.
