Score!!! Drug Tunnel

An estimated 17 tons of marijuana was seized when their was a discovery of a cross-border tunnel that authorities said Wednesday was one of the most significant secret drug smuggling passages ever found on the U.S.-Mexico border. The tunnel that was found was said to measure around 400 yards long and it was used to link warehouses from Tijuana to San Diego. According to Derek Benner who is a  U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent the United States seized about nine tons of marijuana while on the other side of the tunnel Mexican authorities seized about eight tons. The tunnel walls were lined with wood supports that helped to keep the tunnels up. The passage was equipped with lighting and ventilation systems according to  Paul Beeson who is the chief of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector. The way that the discovery was made was becasue two men allegedly seen leaving the warehouse in a truck which was packed with about three tons of weed. They were eventually pulled over by CHP officers and the discovery was made.  http://news.yahoo.com/us-authorities-major-drug-tunnel-san-diego-185929368.html

Real or Fake?

A man visiting British Colombia’s Lake Okanagan claims he filmed video of what could only be the Canada's version of the Loch Ness monster. The video which is only about half a minute long shows two long ripples in the water in an area that seems to be somewhat deserted. Richard Huls was the man who captured the creature on video. Ogopogo is what they call the illusive monster. As with the story of the Loch Ness monster, the Ogopogo phenomenon dates back hundreds of years. it is described to be a serpent that might be 40 to 50 feet long. People say the lake has been searched but no evidence has been found. 
These types of stories are always interesting to see because they cause a spark in the imagination of people around the world. It makes them think of what other things can be down their or that are unknown in this world. It takes the person from the problems of the real world to something unknown and mysterious.

Discipline or Abuse

A video of a father punishing his daughter has gotten thousands of hits on YouTube. People around the country have different ways of trying to discipline their kids but this man takes it way to far. The father County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams is caught on video beating his 16-year old daughter Hilary for almost seven minutes with a belt. Psychologist George Holden said, “People may find it fascinating because spanking is a part of our culture but this is clearly an incident where it’s gone way wrong.” Most people seeing the video agree. The daughter was being punished for using some type of illegal file sharing program on the internet. Being that it was his daughter he was not punished for the actions he took. But people investigating this case have stated if it was someone else then he would of gone to jail. Typical spankings are from two to five spanks with an open hand. Anything other then that in my opinion should be considered abuse. Who ever does it should be punished. yourlife.usatoday.com/parenting-family
