Brief and Oral Argument, Denver Dispatch
May it please the court; we are the petitioners, representing the Denver Dispatch newspaper.
We appear before you today to ask the Supreme Court to remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch from publishing articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory.
This case is all about how the Denver Dispatch should publish articles about secrets about the government’s biological warfare. We believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory.
The first reason we believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in Schenck v. United States, in 1919.
This case was about if Charles Schenck could publish anti-war leaflets that said the government shouldn’t be able to force young men into war. Congress had passed a new law that said it was against the law to encourage men to not be drafted for the war.
Justice Holmes wrote as part of the majority, ““We have to ask ourselves every time that we look at a case, ‘Are the words that are said or written used in such a way that they cause a clear and present danger?’…It is a question of how close is this possible danger and how dangerous it could be. Things which we allow in peacetime are sometimes too dangerous to allow in wartime.”
We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because the Denver Dispatch has words that can cause danger. Also, things that are allowed in the Denver Dispatch in peacetime are dangerous in wartime.
The second reason we believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in Near v. Minnesota in 1931.
This case was about whether Jay Near could publish his newspaper, the Saturday Press. The newspaper attacked everyone physically and emotionally.
Justice Hughes wrote as part of the majority that, ““We have usually believed that freedom of the press means that a newspaper can publish what is wants and that the government cannot stop it from publishing what it wants.”
We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because the First Amendment protects the Denver Dispatch’s right to publish what it wants. The Denver Dispatch can publish information on the biological warfare (anthrax X).
The third reason we believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in New York Times v. United States in 1971.
This case was about if the New York Times could publish the “Pentagon Papers” and if they were breaking a law publishing these papers with secret information.
Justice White wrote as part of the majority, ““There are times in which the press can be prevented from publishing information about government plans or operations.”
We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because there are times when the Denver Dispatch can get prevented from publishing information but this time is not one of those times.
The last reasons we believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the what is written in the United States Constitution.
It is written that in the Constitution that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. Congress is not allowed to make laws that stop people from speaking, writing, printing, and broadcasting.
We believe that this applies to the Denver Dispatch because the government has no right to stop the Denver Dispatch from writing and printing.
It is also written in the Constitution that the people of the United States set out rules that the government must follow. The Constitution was made to keep peace in the nation, bring about justice, defend the nation a s a whole from foreign enemies, make peoples’ lives better, and make sure that the people remain free.
We believe that this applies to the Denver Dispatch because the Denver Dispatch was written to warn the people of anthrax x. This defends people’s lives.
You have heard the arguments from the petitioner, the Denver Dispatch. We ask the Justices to uphold the freedom of the press granted in the First Amendment and to allow the newspaper to continue to publish the articles about biological warfare research.
Brief and Oral Argument, United States Government
May it please the court; we are the respondents, representing the United States government.
We appear before you today to ask the Supreme Court to uphold the court order that the lower court and the appeals court imposed on the Denver Dispatch newspaper.
This case is about not letting the Denver Dispatch publish military secrets about biological warfare in Boulder, Colorado.
We believe the Supreme Court should forbid the newspaper from publishing further articles about biological warfare research at the Boulder Research Laboratory.
The first reason we believe the Supreme Court should forbid the newspaper to publish further articles about biological warfare research at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in Schenck v. United States, in 1919.
This case was about Charles Schenck printing 15, 000 leaflets.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote as part of the majority, “What someone is constitutionally allowed to do depends upon the time and place in which it is done. . .Things which we allow in peacetime are sometimes too dangerous to allow in wartime.”
We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because we are in a war. Freedom of speech isn’t important while in a war.
The second reason we believe the Supreme Court should forbid the newspaper to publish further articles about biological warfare research at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in Near v. Minnesota in 1931.
This case was about Jay Near publishing a newspaper which was anti-Jewish, anti-government, and it attacked everyone: gangsters, police, commissioners, and even the mayor.
Justice Butler wrote as part of the minority, “The newspaper has already published false and outrageous stories that harm the reputations of various people. The use of the law in this case is a way of punishing the newspaper for already abusing its right of freedom of the press.”
We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because the Denver Dispatch is already abusing the Freedom of the Press.
The third reason we believe the Supreme Court should forbid the newspaper from publishing further articles about biological warfare research at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in New York Times v. United States in 1971.
This case was about whether it was constitutional for the New York Times to publish past military secrets and the thinking of the U.S. generals.
Justice Blackmun wrote as part of the minority opinion. “Each section of the Constitution is important and [we] do not believe that the First Amendment is so important. . . .”
We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because we believe the First Amendment isn’t that important that it stands above the other sections.
The last reason we believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the what is written in the United States Constitution.
It is written in the Constitution that the Constitution was made to “keep peace in the nation.”
We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because if the lab gives out secrets there will be no peace in the nation.
It is also written in the Constitution that “the President is the Chief Executive.”
We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because he (or she) must protect us if he (or she) thinks it is dangerous.
You have heard the arguments from the respondents, the United States government. We ask the Justices to uphold the constitutional right of the government to protect the national security by blocking the Denver Dispatch articles on biological warfare research.
Denver Dispatch v. United States 2009
Docket Number 93-8000
1. The Story:
The government want to stop the publication of the Denver Dispatch newspaper because they think it’s saying military secrets about a biological weapons laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. In the lower courts the Denver Dispatch lost and they kept appealing until they got to the Supreme Court.
2. The Denver Dispatch Goes to the Supreme Court
The lawyers for the government argued:
The lawyers for the government argued that the Denver Dispatch should not publish the Denver Dispatch because they thought it was giving away military secrets. They argued that the First Amendment right to Freedom of the Press was not the most important Amendment.
The lawyers for the Denver Dispatch argued:
The lawyers for the Denver Dispatch argued that they have the freedom to print their articles and the people should know what the military is doing in the lab.
The Supreme Court Justices decided:
The Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 in favor of the Denver Dispatch.
Writing for the majority, Justice RockGirl voted in favor of the Denver Dispatch. She wrote:
I, RockGirl, believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I believe they have this right because you can’t break the Constitution because terrorists “might” attack or “may” attack. I do not believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing because if the government stops the Denver Dispatch from publishing terrorists may still attack.
Writing for the majority, Justice Mets1 voted in favor of the Denver Dispatch. He wrote:
I, Mets1, believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado because like the Denver Dispatch said, terrorists won’t attack because it is peace time not war time.
I believe the Government doesn’t have the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado because the Congress has no right to make laws that stop people from speaking, writing, printing, or broadcasting. I don’t think they have anything to be worried about because it is peacetime.
Writing for the majority, Justice SuperStar9 voted in favor of the Denver Dispatch. She wrote:
I, SuperStar9, believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I believe they have this right because, “there are times in which the press can be prevented from publishing information about government plans or operations.” But this time is not one of those times. I do not believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military in Boulder, Colorado. We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because the Denver Dispatch is already abusing the freedom of the press. But they aren’t publishing false and outrageous stories. So why punish them?
Writing for the majority, Justice HolibackGurl voted in favor of the Denver Dispatch. She wrote:
I, HolibackGurl, believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I believe that they have this right because they published one article and there has been no terrorist attack. Also they are warning people about this Anthrax X so if this stuff got out it could have killed someone. I do not believe the government has this Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado because they put national security in front of the First Amendment. Also they didn’t do very well about answering questions.
Writing for the majority, Justice BlackPanther voted in favor of the Denver Dispatch. He wrote:
I, BlackPanther, believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I believe they have this right because the people should know what the government is doing in the lab. The government said they have the cure for Anthrax X so why are they afraid that the Denver Dispatch will publish the secrets? We are in peacetime not in wartime. I do not believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado because they said they have the cure for Anthrax X so why should they be afraid. The Denver Dispatch has freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
Writing for the minority, Justice Alvarez voted in favor of the government. He wrote:
I, Mario64, believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I believe they have this right because they want to publish papers that reveal the military secrets. I do not believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado because it’s revealing military secrets that are not supposed to be heard even if there is a virus or anything that might get us sick.
Writing for the minority, FamousStar3000, voted in favor of the government. She wrote:
I, FamousStar3000, believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I think the government has the right to stop publishing these articles. The government wants to keep our county safe. I do not believe the Denver Dispatch has the right to publish these articles. The articles might fall into the wrong hands and something bad might happen. Even though it’s been peacetime for a long time, you don’t know what can happen. Something can happen any day now if those articles are published.
Writing for the minority, Justice Luigi2Power voted in favor of the government. He wrote:
I, Luigi2Power, believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military lab in Boulder, Colorado. I believe they have the right because like they said, if the newspaper was published then our enemies can find out and the public might worry. I do not believe the Denver Dispatch has the right to publish information about the military secrets because our enemies might find out, and they will make a plan to destroy us.
Writing for the minority, Justice MusicGirl voted in favor of the government. She wrote:
I, MusicGirl, believe the Government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military laboratory. I believe they have this right because what if the next five articles put us in danger if they are published? What if people find out more about Anthrax X and it gets in the wrong hands and hurts innocent people and the military can’t get there in time to stop the Anthrax X? Like the attorneys for the government said, “The First Amendment isn’t the most important part of the Constitution.” I believe that because it’s not the only Amendment or the only part of the Constitution. I think they should all be thought of as equally. Also, like the people in my family say, “You’re better safe than sorry.” I do not believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Bolder, Colorado. First, when I saw the attorneys argue for the Denver Dispatch they looked like they weren’t collected. But when I saw the attorneys argue for the government, I thought that they were very put together and knew what they were doing. Second, I liked the way they said their argument and stated their rebuttal. They answered the questions very clearly, and I wasn’t as confused when they were stating their rebuttal and argument. So that’s why I agree with the government.

Frank, Max, Sean and Steven were mad at Mario. The whole situation was because of him. Now Mario wasn’t a bad boy. He just hated Frank. Mario wrote that love note. This explains why Frank was mad at Mario.
Max was mad only because since Mario wrote the note, Frank was chasing the wrong person, and they got detention. Sean and Steven were a little mad at Mario. Sean and Steven were only mad at Mario because the whole situation was because of him. Other than that, they were not mad. They were really calm boys. That is, except Max and Frank. Max and Frank were mad. VERY mad. So all 4 boys planned to confront Mario.
Frank said, “Where is that brat?!”
Sean replied, “Well, he likes to do art after school.”
Steven said, “Then he must be in Ms. Lana’s art room!”
Max said,”OK! Let’s go!”
So the boys went to school. It was Thursday. There are lots of after school things to do, so that explains why the school closes at 4:30. The boys finally got to Ms. Stephanie Lana’s art room. Ms. Lana said, “Hello! What can I do for you boys?”
Steven replied, “Is Mario Duson here?”
Ms. Lana replied, “Oh, yes! He is at table 7. Would you like to talk to him?”
Max replied, “Good. Yes, we would like to talk to him.”
Ms. Lana called for Mario. “Mr. Duson!”
Mario called, “OK! Coming!” Mario saw the 4 boys. He had no clue why all 4 boys were mad at him.
Frank said, “Hey Mario, do you know why we are here?”
Mario replied, “No.”
Max relied, “We came here to tell you that the love note you wrote on Frank’s back pack got me and Frank in trouble.”
Ms. Lana said, “Mario!”
Mario exclaimed, “So what? It was revenge for Frank spilling ice cream on my face in front of Casey.”
Sean and Steven said, “Mario, we told on them! It was your fault! We made them stay 45 minutes after school all because of you!”
Ms. Lana said to herself, whispering, “Oh, dear. This could get bad. I ought to call Mr. Henry.” So she called him.
“Hello?” Said Mr. Henry.
Ms. Lana said, “Mr. Henry, we have a bit of a problem here. Mario Duson, Frank Holland, Max Anderson, Steven Harold, and Sean Homer are mad at each other because Mr. Duson wrote a love note on Frank’s back pack. I heard it.”
Mr. Henry replied, “Ok. I will call them to my office, Stephanie.”
Ms. Lana replied, “Thank you.” Then they hung up.
Frank said to Mario, “Mario, why did you do this you little piece of -- "
Frank would have cursed. But he didn’t. He would have. But at that moment, the speaker in the art room was saying,
“Frank Holland, Max Anderson, Sean Homer, Mario Duson, and Steven Harold, please come to Mr. Henry’s office. Repeat. All 5 boys please come to Mr. Henry’s office.”
All 5 boys looked at each other in shock. Then they said, “Uh, Oh!”

Max and Frank were mad at Sean and Steven. Max even said, “Sean and Steven, we are not even!”
Frank said, “Where are those brats?! I want to pound them until they cry for mercy!”
Max and Frank were thinking about where Sean and Steven were. Max finally figured it out. “If Sean and Steven like biking a lot, they must be in the park! There is a lot of room to bike in the park! Plus, it’s a great way to go after school!”
Frank replied, “OK, let’s go!”
It was 3:45. Sean and Steven were still biking in the park. Steven was a bit nervous. He had a feeling that someone was mad at him and Sean was going straight to them. “Sean, do you think someone is coming here right now?"
Sean replied, “I doubt it.”
Then Steven and Sean were surprised. They heard voices. Frank and Max arrived. “Sean Homer and Steven Harold, we got you now.” said Frank and Max. They also said, “We got you right where we want you.”
Steven said, “Sean, I told you…”
Sean said, “What do you guys want?”
Frank replied, “We want to know how you know about our situation.”
Sean replied, “We saw the whole thing and told Mr. Henry!”
Steven said, “We told Mr. Henry because we tried to help!”
Max replied, “How could you help us when you made us stay 45 MINUTES AFTER SCHOOL?!”
Frank said, “Plus, this thing is all Mario Duson’s fault!”
Sean asked, “So, you are mad at us just because we told on you?”
Steven said, “Guys, just because we told on you doesn’t mean we have to fuss.”
Max replied, “We are not mad because you told on us. We are mad because you made us stay 45 minutes after school!”
Sean and Steven replied, “Well, sorry.”
Max and Frank replied, “We are sorry too. We were just a little mad.”
Sean and Steven replied, “We promise we will never make you stay after school again.”
Max and Frank replied, “Sorry we yelled. We promise we will never do that again. But we are still mad at one person.”
“Who is that person?” asked Sean and Steven.
Max and Frank replied, “Mario Duson!”

Max and Frank were walking to Mr. Henry’s office. They were really mad at each other.
Frank said, “Max, this is your entire fault! If you hadn’t told on me, none of this would have happened!”
Max replied, “Frank, even if I didn’t tell on you, we still would be in trouble because I heard on the phone while Mr. Henry was talking to Ms. Cappona that Sean and Steven saw the whole thing! And why were you chasing me?”
Frank said, “Because you wrote all over my notebook, ‘I Love Casey!’ with big letters!”
Max replied, “I didn’t do that! I saw Mario Duson do that! He likes Casey Ramirez. You embarrassed him in front of her. That is why he wrote that you like Casey! He told me!”
Frank screamed, “Oh, my god! I am going to get that rascal!”
The boys finally reached Mr. Henry’s office. Sean and Steven were riding their bikes at the park. 3:00 was dismissal. It was 3:15.
“Welcome, boys, have a seat. I want to talk to you about something,” Mr. Henry said. “Now, which one of you boys wants to tell their story first? Ms. Cappona is here to tell me if you are lying.”
Frank told his story first. “I was chasing him because I thought he wrote ‘I Love Casey’ on my backpack!”
Then Max told his story. “But it was Mario Duson who did that! He told me!”
Mr. Henry replied, “I will get Mario in here after we solve this problem. Frank, what do you want from Max?”
Frank replied, “I want Max next time to tell me when I make a mistake.”
“Max, what do you want from Frank?” Asked Mr. Henry.
“I want him to think twice before he chases me.”
Then Mr. Henry told what he wanted from both of them. “Will you promise to stop fighting and cursing?” The students replied, “OK!”
So that problem was over. But Max and Frank still had one problem. “We are so going to get Sean and Steven!” said Max.
Frank replied, “Oh, wait till they see my face!”

One day there was this boy named Sean. Sean liked to play video games and go outside a lot.
One day Sean was at school. He was playing with his friend, Steven. Steven said, “Hey, do you know some students who curse?”
Sean replied, “Umm, no. But I do know curses get you in trouble.”
Then out of nowhere, another one of Sean’s friends, Max, was being chased by Frank, the bully. But Max finally got to a teacher. Max was puffing to the teacher, “He… was chasing me… and he was cursing too… huff…”
So the teacher said, “Max Anderson, go to the nurse. As for you, Frank Holland, go in my room for detention. Now!!”
So Frank muttered, “Max, you little piece of --"
He would have cursed if the teacher didn’t say, “Go to my room!”
Max said, “Frank, you (Curse Word)!”
The teacher said, “Max, how could you say such a bad word? Come with me to detention!”
Sean and Steven were witnesses. So they both went to tell the Principal everything. The Principal asked, “Where are Max and Frank? I want to see them!”
“They’re in Ms. Cappona’s room! They are in her room for detention.” Sean replied. The Principal, Mr. Henry, called Ms. Cappona.
“Hello?”
“Yes, this is Tyler Henry calling to see if Max Anderson and Frank Holland were in your room.”
“Yes.”
“Sean Homer and Steven Harold told me everything. Holly Cappona, please send the two students to my office.”
Both adults hung up. Ms. Cappona turned to Max and Frank. “Mr. Henry wants you in his office. Go. Now.”
Frank and were very afraid getting sent to the principal. “Mr. Henry?!” said Frank.
Max said, “Uh, Oh!”

HOLY SHRIMP! Same Old People and Same Old Curses!
Article posted June 3, 2009 at 03:02 PM GMT0 •

Are you tired of students cursing around you? Come to my school. People here don’t curse often. You should not curse!
First of all, students can be obsessed with cursing. Once, a person was cursing and laughing. When people become obsessed with cursing, it can bother others. One of my classmates curses a lot.
Next, curses are bad words. People who curse a lot say bad words very often. Once, someone was so mad at me he cursed a lot. Cursing means bad stuff.
Most importantly, you will get in trouble. One time, one of my classmates almost said a full curse word in front of a monitor. He almost got in trouble. Cursing always means trouble.
Students who swear could say, “I didn’t mean to curse.” Or, “my parents were cursing.” Students could curse because they were mad or they saw someone else cursing. They’re still wrong because even though students could be mad, they could say, “Please stop.” They shouldn’t have to curse. It could hurt others’ feelings.
Students who curse MAY be bad people. Cursing CAN mean a bad situation. You may learn some curses, but don’t use them. Tell on the people who curse. So if you don’t want to risk getting in trouble, go and be a curse-free person!

Why Ants Never Lose Their Way (N)

The termite-hunting ants in Rio de Janeiro are quite astonishing. Like GPS systems, these ants have magnet-like antennas on them when they are born to help them navigate their way anywhere or to catch prey. These magnet-like antennas have a weak signal in the Earth’s Core. Some desert ants have good eyes. We wonder what we will discover next about these insects.
I think this is cool but gross. The magnet-like antennas are cool, but the termite hunting part is weird. Termites eat everything in sight. I hate those insects…

The World's Smallest Roadworthy Toy Car

A British inventor has an idea of turning a toy wind-up car into a real car. This entered the Guinness Book of World Records. After receiving his license, Perry Watkins invented this little car. He managed to squeeze in. At first, people thought this idea was a belief. Then, after driving this car, came howls of laughter! This was the smallest car in the world in Wingrave, Buckinghamshire. We wonder what Perry Watkins will think of and invent next!
This is so cool and funny. This car looks like a little kid could drive it! But what if an accident happens? Uh, oh! What is cool is that it is so small but you can drive it! I would like to have that car someday…

Last week in the city of Yokohama, Japan, thousands of people watched as two 36-ton spiders crawled through the streets. But these spiders are actually man-made mechanical spiders with 14 drivers for each spider! The spider seemed entertaining but a little scary. Little children bawled (cried) at the sight. Some nice people even took pictures of the spider.
I think this is awesome but scary. It’s scary because it’s a big spider, an animal that no children like that is big and can squish people. It’s awesome because it is a man-made thing! The spider is 36 tons! That’s about 20 trucks! I wish I could go to Japan someday. . . .

(Boat honks)
Holly: We’re stuck on an island!
Molly: I can’t believe dad did this to us.
Holly: Without any credit cards or cell phones and no clothes except the ones we have on.
Molly: We’re going to be stuck here forever!
Holly: AHHHHHHHHHHHH=http://=http://=http://=http://
Molly: Oh my gosh…I’m starving!!!!
Holly: I’m starving too. Where are the restaurants?
Molly: And the mall?
(Two minutes pass.)
Holly: Molly, how long have we been walking?
Molly: I don’t know, but it feels like forever.
Holly: Look, there’s a guy.
Molly: Maybe he knows how we can get back to New York City.
Holly: Let’s go ask him.
(Walks toward native guy.)
Molly: Hey, guy over there!
Holly: Where’s the airport? And when’s the next flight to New York City?
(He stares at us.)
Native Guy: ungha.
Molly: Holly, I don’t think this guy speaks English.
Holly: Me neither, but I think we need to translate.
Molly: Okay, but how?
Holly: Um…maybe we can act it out?
Molly: Okay, but I bet you this guy doesn’t have a clue about New York City.
Holly: Well, it’s worth a try.
(Molly and Holly act out going on a plane to New York City and what New York City looks like.)
Molly: Uh, this will never work.
Native guy (pointing to the trees): shakika unga ziku
Holly: Do you speak English?
Native Guy: Yeah.
Molly: Holly, can you believe this?
Holly: No, I don’t.
Native Guy: I think you two just missed your flight to New York City. There won’t be another one until next year.
Molly And Holly: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Coming Soon – A Special Car For Your Pooch (N)

Is your pooch cramped and uncomfortable in the car? Then you will be delighted to hear that car manufacturers Honda and Toyota are introducing 2009 models that will revolutionize the car ride for your pampered canine. This vehicle is made especially for your dog. The humans go in the front. The dogs go in the back. The back is designed perfectly. There is a fold out ramp, water spot, and electrical fan included for the dog. The fold – out ramp is made for dogs to easily step in and out of the car. The water spot is for the dog to drink water since the car is usually hot inside. The electrical fan is to cool the dog down.
I don’t like this idea too much because all the cool stuff is for the dogs, not us humans. But it’s cool because the car has all the dog's needs. It even has a comfy bed! Amazing! I’ll have a dog someday. . . .

Have you ever gotten tired of being the last one to finish a test? How about being the first one to finish? Well, you found the right essay, because I know the solution: Working as a team!
The first reason you should work as a team is that you can discuss some answers. If one person has a different answer than the rest of the group, they can tell why his/her answer is incorrect.
In addition, it’s important. You can be the only one in your group who has an answer to a question. Sometimes you can be the only one who doesn’t have an answer. If you or your group has an answer, you can tell each other.
The biggest reason is that working as a team is the easiest way to get work done. After you discussed and agree on an answer, the question is done. If you work alone, it will take a lot more time to finish. All you have to do is be in a group, discuss and agree on an answer, and you are done.
Working as a team is probably the easiest way to get work done. So if you want to get work done faster, go and work as a team!

Dapper Dachshund Is World's Oldest Dog! (N)

Though she looks young, Channel is all set to celebrate her 21st birthday. (In dog years that’s 147 years.) Channel just received a certificate for the oldest dog in the world! Channel lives in Port Jefferson, Idaho, and belongs to 51 year old Denise Shaugnessy. Denise adopted Channel when Denise was just 6 weeks old. According to Denise, the cause for Channel living so long is a lot of pampering, as well as giving Channel the choice between human food and dog food -- and that includes macaroni and cheese!
I think this is so cool. I have never known about a dog that lives over 100 years. The most time I know a dog can live up to is 12 years, which is 84 dog years. I think Denise is the luckiest person in Idaho to have a dog like that. Denise must be taking good care of Channel. Channel even entered the Book of World Records! Neat! I wish I would have a dog someday. . . .

This is D.A.R.E.: Drug Abuse Resistance Education. DARE helps me make smart choices and decisions. I have learned that I can walk away if someone offers a cigarette.
I have learned that smoking can be addicting because it has tar in it, and that smoking Marijuana is illegal in the U.S. I also learned that alcoholic beverages can make you lose brain cells. It is difficult to say no to our friends.
I have learned skills of getting out of risky smoking situations. I can give reasons, facts, use humor, or ignore the person offering the drug.
My commitment to make wise decisions is to never take any kind of drug that does bad things to your body. To protect my health, I will never take any kind of tobacco or beer. I shall accept no kind of drugs. This is what DARE taught me.
Thanks, DARE!

The Human Vending Machine (N)

It is a day at the Victoria Train Station in London when a man is found in a vending machine! Now, instead of pressing buttons, all you have to do is pay, tell the man what candy you want, and he will drop it in the little slot and you can pick it up. Simple! Instead of scrambling to put in the right code and then be served by an uncaring robot arm, customers are given their candy by a chatty, ever smiling human, stationed inside.
This is so hilarious, if you ask me. There is a human in the vending machine!? I guess the guy was just in the vending machine to make money. Making money inside a vending machine is so cool. This makes ME want to be in a vending machine. . . .

Giddyup! – Jack Russell Tugs Owner Around (WP)

Kody now has to pull his owner around since his owner, Alan, can’t walk. Alan has Polio, which is a disease that paralyzes the legs. Now Kody is dragging Alan in his wheelchair at speeds of up to 15 mph. That dog deserves great rest and care. The first few years of getting Polio, Alan and his wife agreed to have a dog. So they have Kory, a Jack Russell Terrier. So now Kody is Alan’s best friend. No wonder why they say a dog is a man’s best friend!
I feel sorry for Alan, because he couldn’t walk for FIFTEEN YEARS! That would be sad. 15 years is like forever, a long time. I’M not 15 yet! I think Alan must be very lucky to have a dog like Kory because now Kory can drag him to work, a library, a restaurant, etc., etc. Polio causes the leg to paralyze. I wouldn’t want to have Polio. . . .

My mission name was “Return to the Moon.” I was part of the Life Support Team. My job responsibilities included: checking the oxygen tank, changing the oxygen tank, checking the temperature and heat, and checking and adjusting the electrical system. I also had to receive and send messages.
The most important information I collected during the mission was that the heat was too high. Then smoke came out, and I admit it, I WAS a little scared. I tried to blow out the smoke. The commander gave me beanbags to hand to every computer to absorb the moisture, and after that, the situation was over.
The most difficult part of my job was the heat situation because I had to hand beanbags to all 5 or 4 computers so the smoke can go away. After the situation was over, there was still a little smoke coming out, but I blew it out.
If I had the chance to fly again, I would try to get through everything quick. I would change the oxygen tank fast, I would test the electricity fast, and if by any chance the heat situation comes up again, I would quickly hand out the beanbags. If I didn’t understand something, I would ask the Commander fast.
I think my experience was fun because I changed the oxygen tank and checked the electricity by myself. I also think my job was difficult because the electricity power was 7 and a half. The Mission Specialists need to know about that.

Well, you may think this challenge includes athletes building up. But instead, they don’t have to build up! They just have run with a stomach full of Krispy Kreme Donuts! Now this is the fifth year of the Krispy Kreme challenge. This challenge is about two miles from the University of North Carolina. The point of this contest is to raise money.
I think this is cool and insane. I really can run with a full stomach. This is cool because if you win the contest, you get to take 5 dozens of the treats. Maybe someday I’ll enter the contest. . . .

This super car has been designed with one of the fastest speeds, over 228 mph. This probably is the fastest car in the world. This is also a cool looking car. This car will be expected to be at any showrooms this year. But this car is strangely named “Tesla.” This car has an on-board system, which allows it to warm up in ten minutes.
This is the COOLEST car I have ever seen in my life. Maybe I can drive one when I grow up. I really think these cars should be in races. Maybe someday they will. . . .

This is about a boy named Evan Reynolds. Evan was only 16 years old when he got a new arm. Here is how he lost his old arm: Evan was sitting in a passenger seat of a friend’s car with his hand folded down on a window. As the car was exiting a parking lot, it scrapped a wooden post, and in a bizarre accident, it pulled his arm off. Now he can’t complete his dream of going to the army.
I think this is kind of sad because Evan’s dream can’t come true. He got used to his new arm, which is a miracle. I bet that it must have hurt a LOT when Evan lost his old arm. Maybe someday he will go to the army. . .

There is this vehicle that’s a car and an airplane at the same time!!
If you have ever wished that you could avoid the snarly road traffic and soar up in the skies, your wish may come true soon. That is if a new kind of vehicle makes a successful test flight/run next month. This amazing vehicle can change from a two-seat car into an airplane in just 15 SECONDS! Because of its size, this vehicle can fit into any type of garage. This vehicle runs on unleaded fuel, so it can get any type of gas.
This would be really awesome and COOL. This vehicle has everything it takes to be popular. If the brake's size or anything else doesn’t make it awesome, cool, or popular, I don’t know what will. Maybe someday my parents can have one. . .maybe. . .someday. . . .

Frankie the Cat Burglar (N)

Frankie is a beautiful 2- year- old cat with a problem. He just can’t keep away from any toys. He was bought in a farm. Julie Bishop bought Frankie when he was a newborn. Frankie got this habit to chew on a lot of stuffed toys. He has a habit just like Tom cat from Tom and Jerry. But it is not as if Frankie plays with the toys. Sometimes he plays with them and sometimes he deposits them. Frankie more likely “steals” them to deposit.
I think that cats that can't keep away from things drive adults crazy. But the good thing is that at least Frankie can deposit toys in a house. Maybe someone will help to educate that cat well. But no one knows how that cat got its habits...no one knows....

Spongebob: It all started when I ripped my pants. I thought that I had everything on my side. But I just blew all sky high. All because I (RRRIIIIIIPPPP) ripped my pants.
The Band: When big Larry came around to put him down, Spongebob turned into a clown. And no girl ever wants to dance with a fool who went and (RRRIPPPPP) ripped his pants.
Spongebob: I know I shouldn’t mope around, I shouldn’t curse, but the pain feels so much worse. Because winding up with no one is a lot less fun than a burn from the sun.
The Band: Or sand in your buns.
(Buns and clams clap for four seconds.)
Spongebob: Now I learned a lesson I won’t soon forget, so listen and you won’t regret, be true to yourself, don't’ miss your chance.
Spongebob and The Band: And you won’t be like the fool who ripped his pants.(RRRIIIPPP)

Deaf Dalmatian Learns Sign Language (N)

This is about a dog named Zoe who eventually becomes deaf. Her owner had to return her to the animal shelter. So the clerks decided to communicate to her by teaching her sign language. They have taught her 7 words in sign language: sit, stay, dance, lie down, paw, kiss, and good girl. Now Zoe must be the luckiest dog in the world because now she can find a permanent owner.
This is sweet and sad. It is sad when you can’t hear anything and you have to learn sign language which takes a long tome to learn. The clerks are very sweet to help this helpless dog, and they’re very smart too. And what is really sad is that Zoe was deaf too soon because she was only 18 months old. Well, no one knows how Zoe became deaf. But maybe someday they will find out how. . .maybe someday. . . .

My brother has been nice and strange lately. He’s been nice because he helps me with my homework. He is weird because lately he has been giving me this strange nickname: Munchkin. My teacher, Mr. Brune, has been giving me a slightly better nickname: Big Guy. Every single day when I come home back from school, my brother always gives me the same greeting: “Hey, how ya doing, Munchkin?” I’m kinda used to it by now, but the first time he called me a Munchkin, I mistaked that for one of those miny donuts called “Munchkins” from Dunkin Donuts. If you have a brother that gives you a nickname, you’d be used to it by about 1 to 2 weeks.

Do car honks and alarms annoy you? (WP)

Well, I admit it. They really annoy me that much. One reason why the honk annoys me is because it really is disrespectful. One reason why the alarm annoys me is because it rings all the time, even when you are asleep. Those dumb alarms always wake you up when you are in a peaceful sleep. Another reason why they annoy me is that both are really noisy! The alarm can last up to 13 seconds! What annoys me more is the car alarm. Even though car honks can last for 2 minutes, the alarm lasts less time but makes more noise.
RRRRRIIINNNGGGG!
I am about to give you helpful advice. If you have a car, try to be careful with it. Because if you touch it in any way what so ever, then you will know what will happen!
RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!
And careful with the honk too. The honk is right in the middle of the wheel. And if you touch it, then- HOONNKKK!
So be careful and only touch your car with the key.

My Accidents (WP)

What accidents did you have? Did you bang your head like me when I was 8? (I am 10 right now). Did you get involved in a car accident with your parents like me when I was 9? Well, I’ll tell you my accident when I was 8.
Back then, I was in church with my friends. Then, I didn’t notice the tablecloth that had been on the floor. I tripped over it! I fell and hit my head’s temple! I could have lost my knowledge or worse, my memory! This is how I felt at that moment: hurt and O_O. The brother of the Pastor of the church picked me up. My mom took me to the emergency room in the hospital. And it took 8 hours for the doctors there to attend me! The brother of the Pastor of the church told my mom that I must sleep late because I could die in my sleep after I hit my head. Once the doctors at the hospital checked my head they said I was OK. My mom was relieved. The doctors said I have a tiny crack in my temple.

Mapletown's Property (A)

In this essay I will discuss why skateboarding in Mapletown is banned on public streets.
Mapletown has many reasons why they need to ban skateboarding in public streets. Skateboarding on streets can be dangerous because it can cause severe accidents and someone can be hurt. For example, once in Mapletown, a teenager crashed into an old lady, and she fell and broke her hip. Finally, cars can crash into another car, person, or object to try and avoid crashing into the skateboarders.
So as you can see, the town council banned skateboarding on streets for everyone’s safety. I agree that skateboarding should be banned. Why do people prefer skateboarding in streets rather than parks?

The Presidents Of 2008 (A)

Health Care
Barack Obama and John McCain stood up for health care because they tried to lower the prices of health insurances. Obama also tried to lower the price of health operations. John McCain tried to lower taxes for health.
Economy
Barack Obama will fight to lower the price for gas. And John McCain will fight to lower the price of the tax for gas. Barack Obama and John McCain fight to lower the price and the price of the tax for gas so that more people could have no trouble with lower prices to fill up their cars.
Education
Barack Obama would help children get education. Barack Obama would reward any teacher that educates any children well. John McCain would help to build schools. Without John McCain, there would be less schools. Without Barack Obama, there would be less educated kids or less teachers.
I am going to tell you about what I think for Barack Obama and John McCain. Barack Obama is impressive because he stood up for health and education. He also stood up for high gas prices. John McCain practically did the same things. I think it is good for Obama and McCain to stand up for education, health, and high prices. These two will fight for a good destiny for people. I also think they are very brave to stand up for these things.
There will be one candidate I will vote for. The candidate I would vote for is Barack Obama. I vote for him because unlike John McCain, he wants to fix health insurance. McCain tried to lower the tax for it. And Barack Obama will award any teachers that educate students very well.
If I were president when I grow up, I would serve my country. I would serve my country by not letting any wars happen, like Barack Obama did to try and interrupt the war of Iraq. I’d also fight to lower any prices and declare new and safe laws for people. That’s how I would serve my country.

I don’t want to tell you much about the accident because I want to keep some information a secret. Well, here goes. It all started when I had allergies on my elbow, so my dad drove me to the doctor, who works in a clinic in Port Chester. He is a good, hard working doctor. After he gave me my medicine to cure my allergies, which I cured today, my mom, my dad, and I were heading back home and it was 8:47P.M.. Then we arrived into a traffic light in Harrison, in the Hutchison Parkway. The light turned green, and my dad went 40 miles an hour. And I don't want to tell you the rest....

You're lucky that you don’t have a brother like mine. He is so annoying! Today, he thinks that I like chicken because he likes chicken! But that’s not true I tell you!
What should I do?
Well I admit it, I’m just as annoying as him. But I don’t play mean jokes like him!
But you know what I feel? I feel: O_O.
But I can’t get too mad at him because he is my brother. I love him, and he helps me with my homework.
One day my dad had a car accident and me and my mom were involved in it. I felt happy about it because the police captain was nice, my brother was worried, and the captain invited me, my brother, and my dad to an Open House in the Harrison police station.
To tell you, I felt kind of happy to have a brother like him. I’d give my brother 4 out of 5 stars ****! And I never want to get my revenge on my brother. I used to have a really bad temper, but Kevin taught me that temper is nothing. I also realized my friends made me realize that temper is nothing. So I promised to my brother that I will never get really angry again! He really is annoying and caring, but I like him being caring more.
For me, he is the most helpful brother in the world!

World Ironman Championship In Hawaii (N)

This story is about Olympics and Ironman races. Every Columbus Day weekend, there will be three events. One event is to swim 2.4 miles. Another one is a 122 mile bike ride, and the last will be to run a marathon (26.2 miles) across the Coast of Big Island. There are a lot of competitors in Hawaii. All kinds of competitors are in Hawaii. The bike competitors are about to bike 112 miles in all sorts of weather. The Olympic competitors are about to complete 140.6 miles in 8 hours.
This story is amazing! I never knew people would to do daring competitions like these. These people must become famous for completing bike, Olympic, and event competitions. I usually think that Hawaii is a place to relax and a place to spend the summer. I can’t believe in Hawaii these competitions have continued for 30 years! Maybe I can go to Hawaii one day. . . .

Trains (WP)

comment (1) • Reads 994

There are a lot of trains in this world: locomotives, Acela, Amtrak, blue trains, New Haven Express, and red trains are examples. The most recent train is the Acela. These trains are among the best examples. There may be over 2,000 trains in this world.
It usually costs a lot of money to ride the Acela and Amtrak. For a red or blue train (regular trains) it only costs a ticket. I think this is amazing because these trains go a decent speed. But they can be a waste of energy in the community because trains take up a lot of electricity. It would be a big waste if trains are traveling through rain.
For me, trains are amazing and are a great way to travel.

And so the group went for some hot dogs while Ash sat there impatiently. Suddenly, a Beautifly appeared.
M: Oh look, a Beautifly!
Then a Steelix appeared. Brock tried to catch it. The group was running into a rare wild Pokemon. But you don’t know what wild pokemon Tracy and Ash ran into.
T: Oh, snap! A Squirtle!
A: Ok, Pikachu, lets catch that Bulbasaur! Use Thunderbolt!
P: Pikachuu!!!
The Bulbasaur got weak.
A: Poke ball, GO!!
Ring, ring, ring. . .
A: Yes, I caught a Bulbasaur!

Everytime we hunt sea food, we expect lobsters to be red. But did you know that lobsters are born with different colors? Now there are red, blue, yellow, and white lobsters. Lobsters are famous for there different colors. Lobsters that change their color are born with different recipes in their cells. One more thing about different colored lobsters, they are very rare for scientist. Nobody knows if the color of lobsters is natural or a trait of birth. They first encountered these lobsters off the coast of the Isles of Man in U.S.A.
I think this is amazing! I’ll ask my brother more about these special lobsters! But I don’t know how lobsters get different colors. . . .That’s a job for scientists. I’ll study more about these guys! But I bet they will be yummy in the cooking pot! This still remains a mystery. Soon scientists will find out about these traits. This might be the biggest fish mystery in the world. . . .Who knows. . . ?

Today, I went to the pet store. I saw Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Poodles, Terriors, Mugs, and Chihuahuas. I chose a female Mug. I named her, Mugsy. Mugsy was the cutest Mug in the store. All the other dogs are mean! My other dog, Blackie, would bark at anything. He moved away.
I know Mugsy will be the exact opposite. She will be such an obedient puppy. She would worry if someone is injured. The store clerks would sell her for a low price! Mugsy would be willing to make sacrifices. I wouldn’t even have to walk her on a leash! She will be unagressive. Mugsy won't show her teeth once.
This truly means a lot to me. For me, Mugsy will be the best dog in the world!

C: Hey Bruno!
B: Hey Craig!
LW: What’s going on?
EM: What’s up people? Yo, hey Jay den.
J: Hi, Eggman.
M: Hi, Jayden.
TM: Hey, Marco. Wesley, can you make Eggman decent and uncool in your next story?
W: Sure. I’ll do it over the summer.
J: What?! The summer?!
W: Yup.
TM: Wesley, are you senile yet?!
W: Nope. I’m not even old!
C: Watch me do the Matrix.
WHOOSH
Everyone: Wow!
EM: I got some skills!
Eggman runs around the park and completes 6 laps in less than 10 seconds.
C: Nice one.
W: Are you guys doing tricks JUST SO I CAN WRITE ANOTHER STORY TO MAKE EGGMAN DECENT AND UNCOOL?!
M: Actually, we don’t know answers to questions asked by someone with a severe bad temper.
Wesley slaps himself on the forehead.
SLAP
TM: Behold, the amazing Tomato Man!
Tomatoman climbs the light pole, jumps, and land on his left hand (his weak hand).
W: Wow, Tomato Man, not bad! I’ll write my next story in November then.
LW: Still to long. . .
W: Well, deal with it! I have to add everything to my next story! I predict that will take about 2 months.
LW:Fine. . .
M: Come on! Can’t you make another story anytime sooner?!
W: I thought you said we can’t answer any questions asked by a severely bad temper.
Marco slaps himself on the forehead.
SLAP
M: I’d rather do my trick than listen to you!
Marco says “pizza” 10 times fast.
W: Not bad, Marco.
LW: I’ll show you my trick!
Lettuce woman holds Bruno in the air.
B: My turn!
Bruno does a Cartwheel around the park and back.
Everyone: Do your trick, Wesley!
W: Okay! Drum roll...would you like fries with that?
Everyone. . . .
W: Okay, now my real trick! Drum roll!
Wesley does the split.
Everyone: Best trick ever!
W: Thanks, and I couldn’t have done it without you guys! You guys gave me the courage!
And so, everyone went home stronger, happier, got better gym grades, and was more flexible than ever.
THE END

Today, a Scottsdale man named Joe Stalnaker is alive thanks to his 18 month old German shepherd named Buddy. Buddy is a very smart dog and cares for Joe. Joe only lives with Buddy, which is probably the main reason Buddy cares for Joe. Buddy is a very smart dog, and very well trained dog also. Buddy has been trained since he was 8 weeks old. Buddy is capable of saving Joe from any near-death experiences.
It all happened last Wednesday when Joe suffered a seizure. With the help of training, Buddy calls 911. When the police arrive, Joe had collapsed from the seizure. Now, Joe is recovering home, and it’s all thanks to Buddy. Joe knew that he couldn’t live independently without Buddy. Buddy is the best dog who Joe can live with.
