http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/01/van-der-sloot-charged-with-murder-in-peru/?iref=allsearch
This article and also one more very similar was talking about Joran Van der Sloot. He has been charged with the murder of a Peruvian woman. He tried to flee the country in which those individuals who attepted to help him are also being punished. The prosecutors are asking for him to seek a 30 year jail sentence for his crime. Somet think 30 years is too long because he has not showed any more acts of violence. The trial will be open to the public. Van der Sloot was once a prime suspect in an investigation involving the 18 year also that was never seen again after her trip to Peru for her graduation trip.

Marica's first blog entry (spanish 2)
his semester, I hope to end up with a high A in the class just like I did in spanish 1. I hope to keep up with my work in all of my classes since they all will benefit me in the future. I like blogging because it's a great way to add technology in the classrooms and since students spend a lot of time on the internet, it will not have students feeling bored when completing assignments. I'm the type of students who works a lot but will get my work done even if it's late at night or early in the morning.

Blog #4
http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/americas/04/08/mexico.mass.graves/index.html?iref=allsearch
This article is about a mass killing that has recently occurred in Mexico. Investigators are constantly finding mass graves with more bodies in it. A report was made around March about a kidnapping dealing with a bus. Forensic investigators are trying to identify the bodies and see if some of the people are from the kidnapping. Many of the bodies are of Mexican nationals. This is going on in Tamaulipas and it's showing how the government there is not dealing with the security of the public as much as they should. This area has always been bad with drug trafficking and as of now the investigation is still being continued.

music video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMIh12Gw_08&feature=related
this song sounded like a sad song. It reminded me of one of those songs that you would listen to when you are feeling really emotional for some reason. I think it was a song that had meaning to it and could relate to life unlike a lot of music is now-a-days. This singer had a nice voice and something pretty soothing to sit down and listen to :)

Dream Vacation
I personally do not have a dream vacation. This is not because there is no where that I want to go but its because as a young girl, my parents always took me and my brother on family vacations. I've already been on several cruises to many places so the way I see it, Ive been to a lot of fun and exotic places that most people wish they go to. Many girls like to go places and shop and I hate shopping so traveling all over the world just to shop is pointless to me when I can drive twenty minutes away and do the same exact thing. On top of that, Im not really the type of person who always like to go to different places, I'm the type who would rather go to a theme park like kings dominion and have fun all day :)

spanish speaking county article
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/02/16/diabetes.cancer.ecuador/index.html
This article was about a study on dwarfs in Equador. Dwarfs are people typically 4'10". In this study however, it was done on dwarfs who were not taller than four feet which like being the height of a seven year old for your entire life. The study took place over 22 years and was mainly looking at how these particular dwarfs because they never developed diabetes or cancer with their genetic disorder. Only one had a cancer and she has been cancer-free ever since it was treated three years ago. The study just goes to show how this genetic mutation can prevent someone from having cancer and/or diabetes.
This article really interested me becuase I am actually and inch taller than being classified as a dwarf so its always cool for me to read something that can possibly be something that I have to deal with in the future. I personally love being short even though people are always reminding me of how short I am but its good to know that there is a possiblility that I will never develop cancer or diabetes just because of a possible mutation of not being able to grow.
