Recently on Thursday, six infants died, while 300,000 others were sickened by tainted milk in China. Sanlu made 905 metric tons of melamine-tainted baby formula powder and out of that 905 sold 813 metric tons of tainted products that were made with contaminated milk. Many people involved in this harmful insident were either sentenced to jail for a period of time ranging from around three to ten months, the deathy penalty, and some have yet to punished. The middle aged men who were sentenced to the death penalty were those who sold melamine to milking stations to add the chemical into the milk. In addition, this tainted contaminated milk has also been proven to cause kidney stones for some infants that took in some of this bad milk. In the end, this is a serious matter where mad milk has come to hurt many hundred thousands and even kill.

This previous Tuesday, January 20, 2009 is the day we will forever remember. The significance to this day is that not only do we get a new president, but our first African American president. In addition, January 20 was the day Barack Obama got sworn in as our new president, also known as the day of the inauguration. If watching the inauguration, you might have noticed when Obama was getting sworn in some words may have been babbled not knowing what happen. This occurred because Chief Justice John Roberts mumbled the words while giving them for Obama to repeat. Because of this Obama retook the oath of office after on Wednesday the following day. But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time," the statement read.
"President Obama prepares to walk into the Oval Office" shows the leader of the Free World poised outside the broad automated sliding door to -- horrors! -- the press area!" Barack Obama is now officially our president and we honor him, and respect his such courageous acts. He leads us to inspiration and teaches us we can accomplish anything if we put our mind to it. Now as Obama steps into the Oval Office and many other places located in the white house we will officially become the improved United States of America, with help of our new president Barack Obama.
In the end, I believe Obama is the right man for the job and will fulfill his duties as president of the United States. He can view different situations from different peoples prospectives. Obama is up for the challenge and is ready to become the president. Barack Obama is a name we all know now, and will forever remember!

Earthquakes have been known to cause serious damage. Little did we know that they could also cause flooding. The main cause would not be the earthquake, but the dam containing water being cracked and breaking by the harsh movement of an earthquake. In California, an earthquake of medium or large size has the ability to cause flooding because of the reasons stated above. However, Susan Siravo states that there is nothing to worry about for the reason the the water level is low, so their is no chance of overflow at the time. In addition, if there happens to be a major storm, the water district will have to drain some liquid so that the dam will only be 87% full, so there is no chance of overflow and no chance of leakage. Leakage could unfortunately occur if an unlucky earthquake comes along, which is more likely in California then in other states. In the end, all will remain okay in California as long as no earthquakes or major storms happen that are not treated with.http://www.ksbw.com/cnn-news/18438278/detail.html
