Isabel Seong, Tae Yeon Lim, Pedro Aycinena and Diego Batres
Our 2nd news for may is titled "9-year-old stable after Libya plane crash".
_________________________________________________________
Ruben Van Assouw, an 9-year-old, was the only survivor in a plane crash that killed 103 people, including his parents and his brother. He suffered multiple fractures to his legs and underwent surgery at the Al Khadra Hospital. The Afriqiyah Airways plane crashed at 6 AM on Wednesday. It departed from Johannesburg, South Africa.
This poor kid might live with his aunt and uncle after the tragic plane crash, but he is still recovering.
_________________________________________________________
Diego Batres: I feel very sorry for this little kid. Even though he is alone in the world now, this was a miracle. Among the resistant adults and older people, the 9-year-old survived. I hope his trauma disappears soon.
Tae-yeon- I feel sorry and bad, becuase that little kid, that has only 9 years old, lost his parents and brothers.
Isabel Seong- I think that the boy was lucky and unlucky at the same time. He survived, but the lost his family. Poor boy.
Pedro Aycinena: This is a very bad thing because he must feel so terrible I cannot imagine. He probably is thinking why did he survived and his family didn't.

-A flying frog which is brown during the day and green during the night.
-A stick insect 56.7 centimeters long
-A multicolored snake with a green and orange head that fades into blue and then brown as it goes into the body
-A flat-headed frog with no lungs that breathes through its skin
-A slug with an extending tail 3 times longer than its body that shoots "love darts"
-A freshwater prawn
-A reddish-brown hairy ant
-Many fish
-37 new orchids
__________________________________________
Diego Batres: I think this is very interesting. Love slugs? Flying, color-changing frogs? The diversity of species is infinite!
Tae-yeon Lim: I think this is something interesting but also fun! Knowing new info...
Pedro Aycinena: This is very cool because imagine that they discovered new dogs, lions, etc.
Iasbel Seong: I think that if diversity didn't exist, the world would have been extremely boring.

The world's megacities
Isabel Seong, Diego Batres, Pedro Aycinena, Tae Yeon Lim
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/04/08/urban.planet.megacities/index.html
Our fourteenth news is called "The world's megacities". There is no author's name. We found it on April 12th. It has a bias: Demographia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megacities are metropolitan areas with a total population in excess of 10 million people. Some examples of megacities, those that are most populous: Tokyo in Japan, which has a larger population than Algeria, Canada or Uganda; and Shanghai, a rapidly expanding city. Shanghai is known to be China's economic powerhouse, and it is also the world's biggest metropolitan area, covering 2,914 square kilometers.
In spite of whatever we think of them, megacities aren't staying; they are growing. An example of growing megacity is New Delhi, which will have 29.49 million inhabitants by 2025. It's current population is 20.99 million.
By 2025, the number of megacities will grow from 21 to 29 and account for 10.3 percent of the world's urban population. Currently, just over 9 percent of the world's urban population lives in a megacity.
Megacities bring a lot of things with them. They don't just bring wealth and employment, but also cultural benefits. In addition, some megacities are more efficient than their less populous counterparts.
However, the high density of people also brings problems, like health issues. For example, the flu viruses and psychological problems caused by poverty and stress can transmit much more rapidly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isabel Seong: I found this article interesting because I lived in a megacity until I was 8 year old. I like Seoul very much, and I think that it is much more efficient when people live close together. The reason for that is because they can find their need rapidly.
Tae-Yeon Lim: I think these is good because, the people that do not have job can have opportunity to have a job
Diego Batres: I think that these megacities are good and bad at once, they have advanced technology and lots of job opportunities, but they emit lots of pollution and are very crowded.
Pedro Aycinena: This something the earth must start to notice, people are growing and we are going to have to compete for everything. Like food, water, schools, college, etc.

South Korea stops search for missing sailors

Our thirteenth news is titled "South Korea stops search for missing sailors". It is written by Andrew Salmon. It came out at April 4th. It's theme is World, and it has no bias.
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
Isabel Seong- I feel sorry for the ones that died in the cold ocean, and more for the families of the lost ones. They have lost their husbands and fathers. I think that I won't be able to be same if my father died.
Pedro Aycinena- This is something very awful to read. But I have this feeling that the North Koreans did this. Just think about it, a ship breaks in half near North Korea and South and North Korea have been in war. And they also disagree in a lot of things.
Tae-yeon Lim: I feel sorry for the families that had lost their fathers and husbands. If that had happen to me I feel really bad. And I want no more war in North and South Korea.
Diego Batres: I feel very sorry for those who lost relatives in that accident, and even sorrier since their bodies could not be found and buried. If even their dead bodies were found, the family could have a funeral for him and bury him in a cemetery.

-----------------------------------------------------------
A South Korean warship has sunk in waters close to North Korea a week ago. Search for dozens of sailors lost there stopped late Saturday after a request from the families of the missing men.
Although naval experts have said that men trapped underwater could only remain alive for 60 to 70 hours, many hoped that some sailors might somehow still be alive.
That possibility dissapeared after the recovery of Chief Petty Officer Nam Ki-hoon's body.
The Cheonan sank in mysterious conditions -- breaking in half on March 26.
Fifth-eight men were rescued at the scene. The 45 missing sailors are believed to have been trapped in the ship's stern, where the crew's quarters and galley were located.
Their families had been vocal in demanding the navy expedite its efforts to rescue their loved ones.

Kids who lose parents still grieve as adults
Isabel Seong, səɹʇɐq oɓəɪp, Pedro Aycinena, Tae Yeon Lim
"Kids who lose parents still grieve as adults" is our twelfth article's title. It's theme is Family, and it has no bias. It is written by Stephanie Goldberg.
http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/03/23/child.bereavement.study/index.html?hpt=C2
-----------------------------------------------------
Our twelfth article says that not all of the one in seen Americans who lose a parent of sibling before the age of 20 learn to handle it correctly.
In fact, a new survey released Monday by Comfort Zone Camp, a nonprofit provider of childhood bereavement camps, says that 73% of adults believe that heir lives would have been "much better" had their loved ones not died when they were young.
Isabel Seong: I think that kids without parent or both parents lead a much difficult life. I know it because when I was in 1st and 2nd grade my parents couldn't live with me, and I felt lonely.
Pedro Aycinena: I think this a horrible thing, and that now in days it's almost like a normal thing. The world is every time more violent.
səɹʇɐq oɓəɪp (Diego Batres): I feel very sorry for all these people, because I have many friends who have lost a family member at a young age. I hope these people do what Elizabeth does to make them feel better.

In fact, a new survey released Monday by Comfort Zone Camp, a nonprofit provider of childhood bereavement camps, says that 73% of adults believe that heir lives would have been "much better" had their loved ones not died when they were young.
The majority of participants agreed that they would trade one year of their life for one more day with their departed parent. However, about 59 percent of people who lost a parent at a young age think they have become stronger as a result, saying that losing a loved one gave them a greater appreciation of family relationships.
