Herndon will have a new principle in place by the beginning of December.
Funny, because we all just found out that Mr. Bates got the job. I could not be more happy for him and he definitely deserves it.
A principle at Herndon should know Herndon inside and out. They should know our flaws and strong points. They should know us academically and for sports or activities or things related to us. They need to understand and know the students. Our new principle should possess all of the qualities of a strong leader.
Mr. Bates fits all of those characteristics. He is patient, kind, smart, and hard working. He has worked his way up to this spot. We all know Mr Bates and he all knows us. I have worked with him personally while I was the junior secretary and we planned prom together. He was the powderpuff coach both years, and is the seniors assistant priciple. He has taken the time and effort to get to know 2010 and I know he will do the same for the whole school. He has been working here for four years and knows so much about our school. Love and respect the dude, and I think he will do a great job. He will have such a good learning experience.

Political Cartoon November 22,2009
Copyright © 2009 Creators Syndicate
1) Drawn by, Daniel Kurtzman
2) "debt to china" Sab Diego Union Tribune

3) This cartoon is talking about Obamas recent visit to China and deals with our debt with them
4) Basically the cartoons message is that America is in debt with China. It is ironic because US has been known as the "stronger" and more powerful country and we make jobs for the Chinese for less money then it would be here, and we are majorly in debt with them. It is saying in the word bubble that we need to pay our debts or else it could get more violent.
5) It is hard not to agree that we are not in debt, because we are. So I agree that we need to pay back our debt with China before it gets too late.

Current Event #6
http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/10/30/h1n1.swine.flu.er.kids/index.html
(CNN) -- Nate Wordell, 7, just feels lousy: swollen eyes, cough, high fever, stomach ache and he's dehydrated. Nate has H1N1.
After toughing it out for three days at home, Nate's parents brought him to the emergency room at Children's Hospital Boston, Massachusetts. "The hardest thing for us was that we couldn't stay ahead of the medication or get him to keep any water down," says Nate's father, Michael Wordell of Auburndale, Massachusetts.
Hospitals from coast to coast are bracing for the influx of patients, just like Nate. Children's Hospital Boston has seen a 40 percent increase in patients this week alone.
"This could get pretty bad," says Dr. Anne Stack, clinical chief of emergency medicine at Children's Hospital Boston. "So we are trying to do as much as we can to prepare. But no one knows when it will end."Many hospitals are creating alternative care sites in parking lots or in office buildings to handle an overflow of patients in the weeks ahead. Children's Hospital Boston has designated a conference room as a go-to H1N1 triage center. "We don't have additional space so we had to think outside the box," Stack says.
The conference room can be "flipped" in 24 hours, Stack says. "All we have to do is wheel in portable sinks, exam tables, computer equipment, cots and curtains. Everything is on standby. We're ready."
But some state health officials say emergency rooms are being unnecessarily strapped by children who don't actually need to be there. Most physicians don't test for the virus or prescribe medicine to healthy children who come in with flu-like symptoms.
"The children we are worried about are those who have influenza symptoms and chronic disease [neuromuscular, heart disease, lung disease] or kids under the age of 2. Their immune systems can't fight things off as well, and the severity of their symptoms can grow rapidly," Stack says.
---I think this is an important issue because it is affecting all of us. The main highlights of this article are that vaccines are not working and many children who do not actually need to be in the hospital are in the hospital. If you have the flu that does not mean take them to the hospital, if you do you are going to get other people sick. I think there needs to be a worldwide announcement or something that informs people of what and what not to do.
