Turn On The Lights!- Jorge Olvera

     The San Francisco 49er's and The Baltimore Ravens had a very heated game this past Sunday! Both teams played with all they had. During the game they had some minor  problems like a power outage, which was the first time I have ever witnessed at a foot ball game let alone The Superbowl. It lasted for about 15 to 30 minutes.
     After that the 49er's came back hard and determined but ended up losing. It came close but not enough. I was going for The Ravens so i was not at all disappointed with this game at all. We saw some good plays and amazing catches.   

Why the "Citizen Militia" Theory is the Worst Pro-gun Arument Ever- Natalie Newman

Mark Nukols writes about one of the most controversial topics at the time in one of his latest articles in The Atlantic Monthly. The difference between the 21st century right to bear arms and the 18th century right to bear arms is a voluminous one. Centuries ago, if a citizen was armed and was using it as a defense weapon they would truly be defending their liberty and freedom; however, nowadays, many people bear arms and use them freely and as a response to  “spur the moment” anger. Protecting ones rights is a term that is being thrown around when justifying robbery and bloodshed rather than justifying a citizen’s democracy and liberty.

Cyber Attacks - Paolo Buccino

    The department of energy was recently hit by a cyber attack. A lot of personal information from workers was compromised and it is possible that the attack was aimed at gathering more sensitive information. China is a possible suspect for the attacks. The FBI stated that the department is a "known target of Beijing" and that "the sophistication of the attack indicates the involvement of a foreign government."

     Cyber attacks are when hackers break into the computer networks of other governments or companies to trespass and steal information, spy, or remotely control operations. It is possible for a terrorist cyber attack to black out the power grid, or shut down the stock exchange, for example. It concerns me that threats are sometimes no longer tangible.

Obama: Ban on Boy Scouts Discrimination- Taiina Ayala

Hallelujiah! President Barack Obama announced in his Pre-Super Bowl interview his proposal on the rule that states that The Boy Scouts of America does not accept gay boys. He said, "My attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does, in every institution and walk of life." Great. GReat. GREat. GREAt. GREAT. Once again, Obama is asserting and being very clear on his stance when it comes to gay rights. Yaaaaayy. At the same time he praised the institution; The Boy Scouts of America. He said "The Scouts are a great institution that are promoting young people and exposing them to opportunities and leadership that will serve people for the rest of their lives. And I think nobody should be barred from that." Great. The end. (:

Former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle Killed at Gun Range by Carter Brown

A former Marine has been charged with three counts of murder in the killing of former Navy SEAL and "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle, the most deadly sniper in U.S. history, and another man at an Erath County, Texas, gun range, police said. "We have lost more than we can replace. Chris was a patriot, a great father, and a true supporter of this country and its ideals. This is a tragedy for all of us. I send my deepest prayers and thoughts to his wife and two children," Scott McEwen, co-author of "American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History," said in a statement to ABC News. Remembering Kyle for the number of Iraqi insurgents he killed misstates his legacy, McEwen said.The suspect, identified as Eddie Ray Routh, 25, was arrested in Lancaster, Texas, after a brief police chase, a Lancaster Police Department dispatcher told ABC News. Routh was driving Kyle's truck at the time of his arrest, police said. Routh was arraigned Saturday evening on one count of capital murder and two counts of murder. He was brought to the Erath County Jail this morning and was being held there today on a combined $3 million bond, Officer Kyle Roberts said.Investigators told WFAA that Routh is a former Marine who suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Kyle helped found a nonprofit that provides at-home fitness equipment for emotionally and physically wounded veterans, but the director of the foundation said Kyle and Routh had not met through the organization. Authorities identified the other man who was killed with Kyle as 35-year-old Chad Littlefield, who Cox said was Kyle's neighbor and friend.
