1-2-10 U.s at a glance  This story showed our relations with iraq. Mainly we didn't have a good relationship. This article talks about both sides of the story. Iraqis abusing and killing american prisoners and americans killing iraqi civilians. Both from leaks of secret information creating disasters. When it got out to the people bush said they were lies,people felt scared for what was to come next.By the end of the article this "operational disaster" turned to the facts with who won the war,the americans with 100,000 deaths of iraqis  10-7-10 The U.S at a glance In my point of view when I see a mother I think of a nurchering, loving parent. For this mother she was diffrent, she plotted to kill her husband and son and went thru with it. Teresa Lewis killed the two people in her life that probably loved her and all forthe outcome, money. To later collect 250,000 in life insurence.Most Americas are stressed over money due to the recession but none have gone to the measures of killing those you love. Obviously it was a different story for Teresa; she was found and diagnosed with mental deficient. To prove it she took a test and did not get the amount of points needed to be sociated as mental. As justice serves she was sencenteced to death with an injection.Tereasa was'nt conscientios or smart about the outcome of her plan. I would agree that this woman deserves everything,i mean how could go to sleep everynite knowing you brought your child into the world and then took it out because you wanted more money. Greedy is a desease. So don't let it take over your life. **Definitely need to spell check. You have some good points in your summary. Some of your sentences are fragments, so make sure you are giving full ideas in each sentence.** =9-15-10=

New York City I think that the man who survived a fall off a 40-story building and lived by landing on a car must have not thought his suicide plan all the way threw. Obviously Thomas Magil who jumped was mentally in need of help. On the bright side this man lived for a reason because if that stranger Maria McCornmack hadn't park her car in the exact location as the suicide departure then he wouldn't have lived. I guess you could say it was a miracle. On the other hand the owner of the car was not to happy. Lastly,i think that thomas magil is a very lucky guy who can start living the rest of his life.

9-22-10 . The world at a glance: Manila A helpless, small, infant had been found in a trash bag on a plane going to the Phillipines.Personally I think this child was one of the billions of people on this earth to have a second chance, many people don't. Also, making his life just that much better to have had one than not to have had one at all. One of the thousands of maids who are low classed, working extreme hours, low wages and even raped by employers had this baby before the plane crashed. The baby was saved by a trash can in the bathroom in the tail of the plane, he was alive but injured. He was rushed to the hospital with no found mother and was granted another miracle. Life. The doctors said he would live, and was doing exceptional. Since there were so many vulnerable women who could be the mother, probably couldn’t support it none the less want it on top of the burden of their job. However, the Social Welfare Department but him up for adoption. A lot of requests were sent in for this miracle child but some lucky person was chosen adopted him. His name would be George Francis Gulf Airs. In a result they are still looking for the birth mother of George. Lastly, this to all should show people to appreciate life because you don't know when it ends.

 * I am a little confused on the organization of your paragraph. When you say "Lastly" it almost seems as if you are making a list of things to say instead of creating arguments.**
