South Korea troops on high alert after navy battle:

Article: China Post

Yesterday, the South Korean troops went into high alert after a cross fire engagement with the North Korea. Both Navy met at the west coast, after a short shoot-out with South Korea, the North Korea navy returned to their own sea region after being severely damaged. Both countries accuses each other for constantly crossing the border over the rich crab-fishing area. Earlier in Tuesday morning, a North Korean patrol boat crossed the sea border, South Korean patrol vessels then fired warning shots indirectly to trying and force the boat to return. But later on, the North Korean boat engage fire at the South Korean vessels, so South Korea had no choice but to open fire too, in result, the North Korean patrol boat was heavily damaged, no death casualties were reported. Political tension had boosted so much over the week; Obama will be visiting within a week, and this event just pulled the rope a bit tighter for the three nations. Some Analysts said the clash actually could have been accidental.

North Korea has DONE IT AGAIN! Just after everyone thought a launch of a pacific atmosphere had taken place between the two nations, North Korea blew it again; and this time its over a rich crab-fishing region in the ocean near west coast. North Korea has no body else to blame, how come these unfortunate things' origins always trace back to the NK? Coincidence? don't think so. We all know NK is just a like a time bomb, with the ability of going off anytime without even a slight warning, that is why they are to blame. North Korea wasn't smart either, they tried firing at the South Korean vessels when they have only one patrol boat on site while the South had around four "vessels". Obama was scheduled to meet with the North Korean officials within a week, but now tension had increased at such a rapid and dense pace that Obama's plans might fail himself in act of a pacifier. North Korea has no one to blame but themselves, Kim Jong II will need to either step down or start LONG-TERM negotiations with the outside nations, and set their citizens free (not like the government officials care a slight about their citizens). And if NK continues to act like an unpredictable bomb, the world really needs to start doing something, and the UN (piece of junk) needs to start forming decisions. First, China's leader (Wen Jiabao) and the prime minister of Russia (Vladimir Putin), Both have permanent seats in UN, NEEDS to stop permanently backing up and supplying military resources to the North. Permanent seats in the United Nations NEEDS to come into agreements. Again, a communist country has proved it's lack of trustworthiness and instability. Long Live Anti-Communism!

Actual excuse notes from parents...LOL

The following is a collection of "actual excuse notes from parents (including spelling)" from the Office of Educational Assessment at the University of Washington.

Dear School: Please ekscuse John being absent on Jan. 28, 29, 30, 31,32, and also 33. Please excuse Gloria from Jim today. She is administrating. Please excuse Roland from P.E. for a few days.

He was hurt in the growing part. Megan could not come to school today because she has been bothered by very close veins. Please excuse Ray Friday from school. He has very loose vowels. Please excuse Tommy for being absent yesterday. He had diarrhea and his boots leak. Irving was absent yesterday because he missed his bust. Please excuse Jimmy for being. It was his father's fault.

Her sister was also sick, fever and sore throat, her brother had a low grade fever and ached all over. I wasn't the best either, sore throat and fever. There must be something going around, her father even got hot last night.

Question: What is Genocide

The teacher wants us to research on the word "Genocide". Any one that can explain specifically the meaning will be greatly appreciated.

考試不及格的理由

如果學生考試不及格，實在不能怪他們，原因如下：
１．雙休日：一年裏有５２個禮拜天，就有５２×２＝１０４天的休息日，扣除這些天數，一年只剩下２６１天。
２．寒暑假：一年裏大約有兩個月的時間不是非常熱就是非常冷，而導致無法讀書，因此扣除寒暑假６０天的時間，一年只剩下２０１天。
３．全年法定節日占了１０天，扣掉後一年只剩下１９１天。
４．每天睡覺８小時，就占了一年的１２２天，扣除後只剩下６９天。
５．每天一個半小時的吃飯、吃零食、吃水果的時間，就占了２３天，這樣扣下去，一年只剩下４６天。
６．每天１小時的遊戲時間，占了一年的１５天，扣掉後一年只剩下３１天。
７．每天１小時的溝通時間，占了一年的１５天，扣掉後一年只剩下１６天了。
８．去看電影，逛街或是其他一些活動，占了一年的１０天，扣掉後一年剩下６天。
９．估計一年生病５天，那麼一年就只剩下１天了。
１０．就是這一天，還是自己的生日。
請問，讀書時間如此之少，學生又怎麼能考及格呢？所以不能怪他們。

請找出以上理論的漏洞

Fitness Cafe Soy Bean Milk expired

After school, just as I was waiting for my Cheese and Jalapeno wrap, i suddenly noticed something a bit too interesting about the Soy Bean Milk paper box sitting beside the blender.

As you may know, today's date is October 13, 2009. But on the container, the expire-date stated October 04, 2009. Unless the box is empty (which is not empty at all) or they " were" about to "throw" it away (which I am sure they will state as their explanation if I prosecute them), the Soy Bean should be thrown away already.

So I'm just trying to hint that now we know that expired food ingredients are kept in the Fitness Cafe, next time when you're standing in front of the cashier, keep in mind that what you may be eating involves the possibility of expiration and lack of freshness. I will not take any action currently, unless I see further similar cases again. Long Live Soy Bean Milk!
