Ocean City Wants Security Cameras in Stores

After a vandalism spree the month before, store owners would like to have security cameras in most stores on the boardwalk. The vandalism damaged a lot of stores and store owners would not like that to happen again. The only problem with the security cameras is that the city doesn't have enough money. The city council president said "the cameras could make sense in a time when the city can't afford to have as many police officers on the street." This is true but in my opinion, it's much safer to have police officers than more security cameras because officers can catch the people who vandalize the stores. Also, Wildwood would want to have cameras installed but they have enough money and Ocean City doesn't have enough money. The cost of the installation is going to cost $380,000.

Mom of Octuplets Is Obsessed With Kids

On January 31, 2009 Nadya Suleman, at the age of 33, gave birth to eight children. Her mother, Angela Suleman, agrees that Nadya is obsessed with children.  She is not married and has had an in vitro fertilization which is a Pre-Embryo Transfer. Nadya at first wanted to be a kindergarten teacher but instead she had octuplets.  She also has six other children from the age of 2-7 years old.  So, in total that is 14 children and a full house.  Nadya lives with her mother and every day is an adventure for her mom and her dad.  Nadya's mom has a lot of stress in her daily life because she has to watch the children while Nadya goes to work. The delivery was very painful and had a team of forty-six physicians assisting in the delivery. Doctors don't know how she can handle  8 children of the same age and be able to maintain her own life. This is a journey that will take a lot of effort.

Blast kills 24 people in Pakistan

On February 5th, 2009 there was a blasting in Pakistan that interrupted a mosque procession.  This blast happened to kill at least 24 people and keep about 50 people wounded.  Police and rescue operators were all over the place and taking people in and to the nearest hospital.  Over 600 people crowded to see what was going on. The bombing took place in the district of Dera Ghazi Khan.  No one knows exactly how it happened but it was from an explosive device.  Many people dreaded this day and still wonder how it happened.  In my opinion, this was a very sad thing that happened in Pakistan when all people were doing was praying and minding their own business. I didn't like how they killed and wounded innocent peoples lives.
