Arsenal back on track with win

Arsenal have got their Premier League campaign back on track with a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Gunners had been trailing after an own goal by Johan Djorou, but two goals by Robin Van Persie in just three minutes, turned the game on its head.

Earlier, Wayne Rooney scored his 100th goal for Manchester United to give them a 1-0 win over rivals Manchester City.

United took control early on and kept the advantage even after a handball by Cristiano Ronaldo got him sent off.
The win means United stay third in the Premier League, narrowing the gap behind Chelsea and Liverpool to five points, while Arsenal leapfrog Aston Villa to go fourth.

Elsewhere, Everton beat Tottenham 1-0 thanks to a Steven Pienaar goal, while Portsmouth scored a 3-2 victory against Blackburn.

It's Pompey's first win with Tony Adams in charge at Fratton Park and sees them move up to eighth place.

Meanwhile, Blackburn are still stuck near the bottom of the table after their ninth defeat in a row, which is the club's worst run of results in a decade.

The Paper Tower

In Advisory class, we built a paper tower that could withstand 50 grams. The tower that was the tallest and could withstand the weights wins and my team won.

I was a problem solver because we learned that our tower was not stable enough to withstand the 50 grams so we added supporters to stable it.

I was a effective communicator because we talked about what we can do to keep the tower stable.

3 Habbits

One thing that I think that needs improvement is exercising more, I am always told that I am too short and that I look like a fifth grader. Maybe I should join the boy's basketball club even if everybody is much taller or instead of using the computer everyday, I should go out to play a little bit of sports now and then. In my iCal I can add at every break "Exercise".

Another thing is that I am bad at concentrating when doing homework at home, because when I am doing homework I sometimes start to daydream. Maybe I should put a sign above my desk saying "YOU SHOULD BE WORKING!' because when I daydream I always stare up at the ceiling.

Lastly, I think that I am too fat because my brother always calls me fat for fun. I think that I can eat less so that I would not be so fat, or I can stop going to 7-11 to buy drinks.

Obama's Effects in Asia

I think Obama will affect Asia the most of all the American Presidents because Obama said that he was going to help everyone that he can. Now is the right time to affect Asia because Asia is in the middle of a war and that Obama can stop racist.

"From an Asian point of view, we all know how much respect matters and how much we want to respect our leaders, so I think Obama will be someone whom our leadership will want to deal more freely and comfortably with because he brings charisma, intelligence and warmth to the table."

"He gives a sense of hope that he can integrate not only a nation that is fractured, but a world that has become increasingly disintegrated. And I think he will be able to integrate forces in a way that McCain might not have been able to do." Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy

What I learned from reading other people's blogs...

I learnt that there are different kinds of learning and learning involves a lot of thinking. You can also learn from other people like I am doing now or you can learn from trial and error. Learning means to acquire knowledge of a thing through experience, study, or being taught. Learning also means to become aware of something etc.

I learnt that blogging has its rules and when you are blogging, you should not post anything to hurt others and you should not post any personal information. When you are blogging it is the same as learning, except you are showing others what you learned. When you blog you think deeper about the main idea and then you express it by showing others your idea. When you post a comment you are telling others what there is to improve and your own ideas about the idea the blogger is talking about.

Lots of them are worried some spooky costumes frighten little kids or older people too much, and in the past people have got hurt when tricks go wrong.

Police are doing what they can by getting much tougher on trouble-makers.

In some parts of the UK, there are already £80 fines for people who get caught throwing eggs or damaging people's homes.

A police spokesman said: "Most people who go trick or treating are out to have fun and everybody respects that, but sadly there are sometimes people who take the tricking a bit far."

One town in Derbyshire's even giving teenagers free James Bond tickets to try to stop them causing trouble.

If you're still desperate to go trick or treating, there are some things you can do to stay safe.

• Go in a group
• Try to get an adult to go with you
• If you're just with your mates, keep phoning home to let your parents know you're safe.

When:October 31
Where: Everywhere
Why: For fun

Boy finds cheetah in back garden

A nine-year-old boy in Cambridgeshire got a huge shock when he came face-to-face with a cheetah in his back garden.

Toby was playing with his bike when he spotted the big cat. He ran indoors as the animal pounced on his bike and started tearing up the seat.

The cheetah had escaped from a nearby zoo, but its keepers soon arrived with the police to capture it.

They said the creature had escaped because of a broken electric fence, but wouldn't have harmed Toby.

Cheetahs are the fastest animals on land, and can reach speeds of over 60 miles per hour.

The three-year-old creature which Toby found in his garden had escaped from Hamerton Zoo.

Zoo director Andrew Swales said: "He wouldn't pose any danger and his reaction to strangers would be the same as a pet dog - either a friendly greeting or a guarded retreat.

"I do not know of any cases of a cheetah attacking a human."
