#1- Officials say that another 78 people were wounded in the mid-afternoon blast in the north-western Shula district. Angry mourners attacked police who rushed to the scene, accusing them of failing to provide protection. The funeral attack comes after a series of bombings killed dozens of Shia pilgrims during their annual pilgrimage to the holy city of Karbala last week. A spate of bombings in the past month against pilgrims, police recruits and security forces across Iraq has killed more than 170 people. The recent rise in violence comes as the US military prepares to withdraw from the country at the end of the year. It poses a major challenge to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his fragile coalition government, formed only last month. The car that exploded at about 1400 local time (1100 GMT) on Thursday was parked near the funeral in the Shula area. Ali Kamil, a 22-year-old college student who lives nearby, told the AP news agency that he rushed to the scene and saw a fire still raging. Several cars in the area were damaged, he said.
He said young men were throwing stones at the Iraqi security forces, angry that they had failed to protect them. Other witnesses said police fired into the air to disperse the angry crowd, but then came under attack from gunmen and returned fire. It is unclear if anyone was hurt in the shooting. Finally, the military was sent in to restore order, they said. In other parts of the capital on Thursday, five people were killed and 21 wounded by roadside bomb attacks, while another bomb planted inside a minibus killed two people and wounded seven in the Jihad neighbourhood. Violance has declined sharply in Iraq since the height of the sectarian killings of 2006-2007, but near daily attacks continue.
#2- Warmer temperatures eased the clean-up in Washington DC, although schools there, in New York and in Canada's Maritime provinces were closed. Thousands of airline passengers were stranded and 400,000 homes lost power. As the storm moved north-east, the Maritime provinces on Thursday braced for as much as 30cm of snow in places. Two of America's largest airports - Newark, in New Jersey, and John F Kennedy, in New York City - were expected to re-open later on Thursday. Also in New York, city government offices were closed on Thursday."New York City almost never takes a snow day, but today is one of those rare days," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement. "People should stay at home and off the roads. There are extensive service delays on mass transit, including a suspension of all bus services."
Washington DC's legions of federal government workers were allowed to come into the office up to two hours late - or to take unscheduled holiday, or work from home. On Wednesday night, US President Barack Obama's return to the White House from a trip to Wisconsin was affected after the weather grounded the helicopter that typically takes him into the capital from the military base where his Air Force One aircraft lands. Mr Obama was met by his motorcade which spent an hour weaving through stalled rush-hour traffic on a journey that normally takes about 20 minutes. Washington commuters who lacked secret service protection were forced to contend with snow-stranded public transport buses and abandoned cars.
"My neighborhood was spooky, no lights, no power but down trees and powerlines," local ABC television journalist Gail Pennybacker reported after her typically 75-minute commute lasted seven hours.
#3- Germany is the third-biggest donor to the UN-backed fund, which has an annual budget of more than $20bn (£12bn). Media reports speculate that billions of dollars may have been siphoned off. But the Fund said the sums concerned were far smaller and it had "one of the most intensive investigation regimes of any international organisation". It says the misuse was discovered by its own investigative unit. It says $34m of misappropriated or unsubstantiated funds have been demanded back as a result. A spokesman told the BBC some of the original reporting on the story had been "sloppy" and was based on information which the Fund had not tried to keep secret but had voluntarily released over the past 15 months. The Global Fund is the biggest single source of money to tackle the three big killer diseases. The allegations of corruption were raised in reports by The Associated Press (AP) news agency.

#1- What can make the difference between receiving a potentially lifesaving surgery or not?
For Vietnam veteran Ronald Flanagan, Ceridian Cobra Services determined it's 2 cents.Flanagan has multiple myeloma cancer of the bone marrow, which he has been fighting since September 2008. He now needs a third stem cell transplant surgery but had lost his health coverage over a 2 cent error. Ceridian Cobra Services, an insurance benefits administrator, dropped Ron Flanagan after his wife, Frances Flanagan, said she mistakenly substituted a 7 for a 9 when she paid their monthly health insurance premium of $328.69 online. If I only had just hit the 9 instead of the 7," Frances Flanagan told ABC News' Denver affiliate, KMGH-TV. "Everybody we talk to is very surprised that 2 cents is enough to do this."
And as of today, what 2 cents was able to undo, ABC News was able to help redo. When ABC News called Ceridian to comment on the story the company delivered unexpected news.
"We've reviewed the situation thoroughly," said Bart Valdez, Chief Commercial Officer for Ceridian. "And we're pleased to say...Mr. Flannigan's insurance coverage was reinstated."
#2- Taco Bell President Greg Creed has responded to a California woman's "beef" about his company's taco meat filling, calling her class action "bogus and filled with completely inaccurate facts." "There is no basis in fact or reality for this suite, and we will vigorously defend the quality of our products from frivolous and misleading claims such as this," Creed said in a statement on the company's website. The lawsuit, filed Jan. 19 by the California law firm Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles on behalf of Amanda Obney, claims Taco Bell's beef filling in 65 percent binders, extenders, preservatives, additives and other agents, and wants Taco Bell to stop calling it "beef." Our seasoned beef recipe contains 88 percent quality USDA-inspected beef and 12 percent seasonings, spices, water and other ingredients that provide taste, texture and moisture," Creed said. "The lawyers got their facts wrong. We take this attack on our quality very seriously and plan to take legal action against them for making false statements about our products." Creed said Taco Bell uses a proprietary recipe to give its seasoned beef flavor and texture -- "just like you would with any recipe you cook at home." The final product, he said, contains 3 to 5 percent water for moisture, 3 to 5 percent spices, and 3 to 5 percent oats, starch, sugar, yeast, citric acid, and other ingredients you'd find at home or in the supermarket. "Our seasoned beef contains no 'extenders' to add volume, as some might use," Creed said. The full list of ingredients is posted on the Taco Bell website.

Quote
"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do." -Henry Ford
Events
The Harlem Globetrotters are performing at the the Baton Rouge River Center. They will be performing on Friday, February 11, 2011. This exciting event will be an amazing opportunity to see some of the best and highly skilled basketball players of our time. You can purchase your tickets online or at the River Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The time to get there is 7:00pm. These professional performers have dunked their way into the hearts of basketball fans everywhere.
Roses
Red is the most commonly given color of roses. Red signifies love and passion. True red is the rose for lovers. Fiery red roses signify passion, while cardinal red symbolizes desire. Fully bloomed red roses best convey the message “I still love you,” while red rose buds are a way to express love for the first time.
Yellow roses once meant jealousy, but today the yellow rose signifies friendship, familiar love, and domestic happiness. Yellow roses can also be an appropriate sentiment to express sympathy.
Pink roses signify elegance, gentility, and poetic romance, without the seriousness signified by red. Pink roses are more light-hearted than red and can signify mere admiration or sweetness of thought. Light pink roses can signify both sympathy and friendship, while dark pink is symbolic of appreciation and thankfulness. A mixture of pink and red roses signifies a romantic relationship.
White roses are sometimes called the “flower of light” and are the bride’s roses. They symbolize unity, sincerity, loyalty, purity, and a love stronger than death. White roses can be mixed with red to emphasize the meaning of love, while white rose buds are an appropriate gift to a young girl from her father.
Purple roses represent majestic glory and can symbolize eternal love, while lavender or lilac roses signify love at first sight or the beginning of true feelings. Purple roses are appropriate for wedding anniversaries beyond 25 years and as memorial flowers for a lost spouse. Deep purple roses should be reserved for intimate situations.
Black roses are symbolic of death. Many people view black roses as an omen, but they can signify change or rejuvenation on the horizon, as some rose buds appear black but then bloom into crimson red. The meaning of black roses may not be understood or well received as a gift, so you should avoid this color if you are at all unsure of the recipient’s beliefs.

Blog Assignment #1/Autobiography
My name is Kayla Keller. I was born on July 16, 1998. I was born at Women's Hospital in Baton Rouge. I first lived in Baker, Louisiana with my mom, Coleen, my dad, Greg, and my two older brothers,Jeremy and Justin. After a year in Baker, we my parents decided to move to Ethel, Louisiana. The name of our street was Dobrowoiski Ln.
When I was three years old, I finally got a little sister named Krista. But I was disapointed when instead of going to our house, we moved to a hotel. Our house had mold in it and had to be fixed. Our insurance company messed everything up. We eventually had to tear down our house when I was eight and a half years old. I was able to help tear down the small parts of the house. We lived in many different rent houses until the house was finally finished. I was nine years old when we got to move in. We moved in on February 17, 2008. My little sister had never lived in the house before, and she enjoyed it.
I am now in seventh grade and I am attending Bethany Christian School. I have two dogs named Dottye and Daisy. I also have a cockateil named Tommy. I still live in Ethel, Louisiana. My parents own Rose's Florist and I.H. Tax Service. My brother, Jeremy, is thirty and is on the S.W.A.T. team. My other brother, Justin, is twenty-two and works at a chemical plant.
I enjoy playing basketball with my sister. I also enjoy playing with my pets. I like to read and draw in my spare time. I used to play the piano, but it cost to much. I love to be outside and enjoy the outdoors with my dad. I also like to help my mom cook. I love it when we go to my maw maw's house in Gonzales. When I go to my granpa's house, I loveto explore his lovely home.
When I grow up, I want to do something involving animals. I plan to attend Louisiana State University. I may become a veteranarian or something like that. I hope that when I grow up, I will enjoy my job and may be very good at it.
When I was three years old, I finally got a little sister named Krista. But I was disapointed when instead of going to our house, we moved to a hotel. Our house had mold in it and had to be fixed. Our insurance company messed everything up. We eventually had to tear down our house when I was eight and a half years old. I was able to help tear down the small parts of the house. We lived in many different rent houses until the house was finally finished. I was nine years old when we got to move in. We moved in on February 17, 2008. My little sister had never lived in the house before, and she enjoyed it.
