Ubuntu

Gibraltar High School might be getting phones for their students.These phones become a computer system when plugged into a monitor. Ubuntu is the phones creator, however they don't have the resources to produce for the general public. After the four year OLPS program is finished, our school is looking into this new device. There are only prototypes, but a major company will probably mass produce it. Perhaps next year, Comp Sci students will be asked to test this new phone before the school agrees to use it. The school can not provide phone service, but plans can be easily be made with local phone companies.

Syria

All of Syria is in a firefight. Missiles, bullets, and fire spread through the torn country. Many Syrians have lost they're lives to the fighting. Cities turn to ruble after explosions and bombs. The military and activists are at war, and CNN has been able to document the historic event. The uprising has been happening for over a year and isn't about to end. Thousands have died and the military have taken thousands captive. Civilians pray because they have no defense from the bombardment and firefight. http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/09/world/meast/syria-72-hours/index.html?hpt=wo_c2

Counterfeit

North Korea bought a special kind of printing press than can print money. It happens to be the same one the US uses. They also buy all the supplies, such as ink and other material from the same supplier of the US. North Korea is now printing countless numbers of american bills. Since the counterfeit money is so accurate, it is nearly impossible to tell the difference. The Federal Reserve Is the only bank that can spot the phony bills. The FBI are exposing many importers, mostly visitors from China and North Korea. Collectively, hundreds of million dollars have been smuggled into American over the years. In doing this, North Korea is trying to minimize the value of our currency. It is an economic attack on America. http://www.wnd.com/2010/08/193917/
