I read the post "Parents & Internet-Using Teens" by Dave Warlick.
This article talks about parents being more observant of their children's media usage.
Not so much the time spent with it but rather what their child is viewing.

I personally can relate to this because my parents keep information of what websites i visit, what T.V. channels i watch and when i watch them, and ratings and content of video games and DVDs. But do not keep much information on my time spent with these devices.

I think parents are too concerned with what their doing than how long there doing it and I fell that it should be more balanced.

I read the article "State pushes teens to buckle up more" by The Denver Post.
This article talks about a couple teens who were in a car accident. luckily they buckled up and were not seriously injured when tumbling off a 30 ft. ledge.

There school along with 10 others launched a "click it or ticket" campaign were the schools had to get 400 signatures of students committing to buckling up and they received a wrist band in memory of the 71 teenagers who died in auto accidents.

I this that this is a good campaign to have because it teaches that even if your not under the influence your still susceptible to the dangers of a car accident.

I read the article"Broncos' Marshall arrested in DUI" by The Denver Post.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall was caught driving drunk Monday morning.
As punishment for this DUI Marshall will have to pay at least $10,000.
I personally do not feel this is a proper punishment. Being that he is a professional athlete he is very wealthy and a mear $10,000 is not much too him. I thisnk that inaddition to paying a fine he should be suspended for the remainder of the season.

I read an atricle from the denver news about a man accused of stabbing another man to death.
Landon Chavez, a man in his late twenties, was accused of stabbing Ricky Ortega untill he was dead. It is said that their was a fight in denver that sparked this murder.
Landon's trial will be this thursday and he will have no chance of bail and if found guilty will serve sevral years in prison.

I personally feel this is a good punishment because its not inhumain and there is a very slim chance that Landon will murder another person.

I read the article "Man arrested in Aurora in fatal shooting overnight" by The Denver Post.
Early Sunday morning there was a 911 call to report a shooting in Aurora.
It was said both victim and suspect were staying at the same hotel and the victim was found dead with a gunshot wound to upper body.
Although no motive has been determined I personally believe that there was a small argument between the two men and smaller men like to think their big and tough by carrying around a gun and I believe this is one of those cases.
