Saudi Arabia cracks down on ‘driving while female’

In Saudi Arabia, a 32 year old women named Mana Al Sharif was arrested for driving because she is a women. Laws in Saudi Arabia do not let women drive cars. Al Sharif started a rally against this and made a Facebook group and events on Twitter to get women to drive on June 17th in Saudi Arabia. Al Sharif started to drive last week around her hometown and posting a video on YouTube of her doing it. She ended up getting caught while driving and got charged with "inciting women to drive" and "rallying public opinion". Usually when women get caught for driving they are taken to the police for a couple hours then are released to there brother or father after they had promised not to drive again. However, Al Sharif was held for 10 days and had much harsher treatment.

I think that this is a very big discrimination not letting women drive shouldn't be a law, women should have rights to drive. I think what Al Sharif is doing is really good she has started awareness about the situation and people all over the world are starting to recognize what kind of women rights Saudi Arabia has. I hope that they change this law soon because I remember when I went to Saudi Arabia they don't even let women sit in the front seat they have to sit in the back seat I think this is just pure sexism.

Looser Ontario booze laws to take effect June 1

Changes to Ontario liquor law will take place on June 1st just in time for summer. The changes in the law include people are allowed to walk around with beer at festivals rather than having to be under a beer tent. Servers will be allowed to carry drinks on public sidewalks to licensed areas. The liquor hours for wedding has been extend till 2am. Also customers are allowed a free drink if they are celebrating a special occasion.

I think making looser laws on drinking is not a good idea because as you have probably seen in my recent posts deaths on the roads have gone down dramatically and they should keep it that way. Making the laws looser are gonna cause a lot more crashes and deaths on the road once again. Also the law that lets people walk around with drinks can cause more younger guys to start drinking because they see people older and people like there parents drinking will make them want to drink more.

Man dies after Mississauga gas-and-dash

A 62 year old Hasgeb Atifeh Rad has died from a gas-and-dash. Hasgeb ran after a car to stop as it fled the gas station. Hasgeb hung onto the car but the driver went faster and he fell down and his head got ran over by the car he was rushed to a trauma center in Toronto but he died in the hospital on Thursday. The license plate of the killer has said to have had been covered by tape or toilet paper. The suspect is described as a black male in his 20's.

I think that gas stations need to do something about these kind of situations because they don't really have great security. Also I don't know how someone could do this, stealing gas and leaving is one thing but running over someone and just leaving him there is just on another level. I don't know how that guy could live with all the guilt he's gonna get from this one event. I hope that the police find this guy fast before he starts doing more crimes.

Teen arrested after dad shot with arrow for taking away cellphone

A teenage girl in Washington State has been arrested for shooting her dad with an arrow after her dad had taken her phone away. Detectives' say the 15 year old girl used a hunting bow and arrow to shoot her dad with after she had been grounded and phone taken away from her. The dad was airlifted to a hospital in Seattle about 55 km from Tahuya, Washington, he was listed in serious condition. The teenage girl fled into the forest behind her home with the same bow and arrow but police surrounded her and arrested her for first degree assault.

I think that this is a horrible situation, this just shows what the world is coming to teenage kids are shooting there parents that have raised them just because they took away there phone. Technology is really good in many ways but also is destroying the new days because things like this would have never happened before because cell phones weren't that big of deal. Nowadays teenagers can't live without there cell phones or I pods and etc.

Many Blockbuster outlets closing

The big company blockbuster is going through hard times right as time is changing and technology is becoming a lot better. Blockbuster before was known as biggest selling movie rentals but nowadays you will see many of there shops closing. For many years blockbuster has had stores at basically every corner of the GTA, but now they will be selling off there stock and closing down there stores. The remaining stores will be for sale. Some reports show that as many as 140 stores will be shut down and the rest will be sold. Approximately 1,400 workers are going to be left non employed because of this.

I think this movement is really showing the change in culture and technology in our world. Things like Netflix and being able to buy movies online without having to leave your house is changing our every day world. People are becoming too lazy to go to there stores so they use the internet. This is not good for the economy because now people are losing there jobs to often. This is something that can cause a recession.

Sony suffers hacker attack in Canada

Sony has once again been hacked this time there database at a Sony Ericsson online store for mobile phones in Canada has been hacked, this time the hackers were able to extract information of over 2,000 customers. Idahca, a Lebanese hacking group admitted they did it and said that the information of these people have been leaked on Facebook and Twitter. The group said that they could have extracted for more information such as credit card details but decided not to. This hack is coming after Sony just got hacked at there Greek music service data base that Sony revealed in a blog post Monday. Also coming after the big PlayStation Network hack in April which mad the Network down for almost a month.

I think that Sony really needs to completely overhaul all of its security and have to make it a lot bigger. First in April people hacked the PlayStation Network giving out the details of millions of people and possibly credit card numbers, and now getting there mobile phone company getting hacked. They really need to step up there security or people are going to completely stop buying products from Sony because there reputation is going down significantly.

Sunscreen could raise risk of birth defects

Pregnant women are probably going to want to stop using sunscreen, as it can cause birth defects. Many sunscreens contain retinyl palmitate this increases the risk of birth defects. The same ingredient is also found in acne medicine which has also been linked to birth defects. Not only does sunscreen cause birth defects it can also harm you in many other ways. It can harm your hormones and nano-sized ingredients. These can lead to reproductive and developmental problems. The reason the sunscreen causes birth defects is because it is a typical form of Vitamin A that this skin converts to retinoids.

I think that this is really bad, many babies could have been born with birth defects because of sunscreen. The sunscreen companies should really write this on there sunscreen they should put a warning label to make sure people know that it can harm there babies. I think that because of this sunscreen companies can actually get sued because there products are actually harming people more than it is helping people. This is a very bad situation sunscreen companies should try to find another substance to use in there product or put a label so people know and so they don't take the risk.

Death toll on Canadian roads falls to lowest on record

In the past couple years the death's on Canadian roads have gone down significantly. They have confirmed that in 2009 the 2,209 people that died is the lowest level since they started taking the stats in 1965. The number of deaths in 2009 is just one-third of the peak year of road tragedies in 1973 when 6,706 people died. Since 1973 the number of deaths has been decreasing every year. Just in the past decade the annual road deaths has dropped 26 percent. This decrease is close to identical to what is happening in the United States. This is due to people being aware of being sober while driving because of all the ads and new laws that are coming in.

I think this is great, people are starting to recognize that they shouldn't put there life in danger because they are drinking and driving. This is great because now people are not putting there life and also the life of others that are driving at risk. All the new laws have really impacted the outcome, the new laws with not being able to be on the phone, and all the other new fines that have been instigated.

Al Qaeda confirms death of bin Laden, vows to continue attacks

Al Qaeda confirmed that Osama Bin Laden is in fact dead, but they vowed to continue their attacks. They said all the Americans happiness will turn to sadness. This comes after the US found documents that there were plans to derail trains on the 10th anniversary of September 11th. People are saying that Al Qaeda has a setback from the killing of Bin Laden but will still the attacks will remain and could even get worse because they are going to want revenge. Al Qaeda did not give any idea on how they will retaliate but there was details that Bin Laden was about to hit USA hard again. They had another plan in the planning stages people say it was to derail a train and for it to fall off the track at a valley or bridge. Not many Muslims have been shown but there were some rallies in Pakistan saying "Osama is alive" but this was the biggest rally with only 500 people.

I think that the Al Qaeda are saying things like the Muslims are going to get you back it seems like they are speaking about the whole religion but really they are just talking about themselves. I am a Muslim and I am happy that Osama I don't know how people can look up to him after taking that many lives, and Al Qaeda saying that all the Muslims will get America back disgusts me. However, I think that because USA has killed Osama I think that Al Qaeda will come back with a big revenge attack, hopefully this does not happen though.

Apple sues Samsung, says stop copying us

Apple has sued Samsung Galaxy saying that it is a copy of the Iphone and Ipad. The reason that Apple is watching Samsung very carefully is because right now Samsung is Iphone's main competitor, and if Apple can't stop them it could find themself in a situation. The lawsuit filed says that Samsung has violated Apple's patents and trademarks. Samsung has made the Galaxy to look and work exactly like Apple products. It's a shock because just last year Apple brought in around $6.2 million of sales to Samsung in 2010 mainly by purchasing semi conductors and now they are suing them. To compete with Apple Samsung came out with a tablet February 2nd copying the iPad 2.

I think that this is surprising because Apple has been such a good customer to Samsung as it says they brought in $6.2 million of sales to Samsung and then Samsung goes and copies them. this is kind of bad on Samsung's part because now I don't see Apple help to bring in customers for Samsung which will cause Samsung not only to lose money from getting sued but also because Apple is not going to help them get sales. All in all this is a really bad move by Samsung.

Another toddler served alcohol at restaurant in U.S.

Once again alcohol has been served to a toddler at a restaurant in the United States. Sangria was served to a 2 year old, it contained white wine, in Lakeland, Fla. The mother of the kid started to become worried when the 2 year old started to act out and even when she told him to stop he didn't. Then the waiter and manager told her that instead of giving the kid orange juice they gave him alcohol by mistake. Right away Van Heest parent of the child rushed him to the hospital. The Olive Garden takes full responsibility for the mistake. Van Heest wants to sue.

I think that this is really bad because giving a child alcohol can really harm a child of that age. Restaurant's have to start being careful in what they are serving to people. They have to be careful also because they can get sued for a very large amount and it could also make the restaurant lose their reputation. This is a concern for both the restaurant and the people.

‘I'm in this battle for Canadians,' Ignatieff says

Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff thinks that conservatives won't survive in power unless Canadians give him a majority government. He was retaliating to Harper's comment in Winnipeg saying that he needs a majority government which basically meant give us majority or bust. Harper said that if you don't give the Conservatives a majority Canada's economy is going to fall apart. Ignatieff called Harper ignorant after those comments. Ignatieff said Conservative government has failed to respond to the needs of average families. Ignatieff Swears that he is in this battle for the Canadians. Ignatieff also says that Canadians want equality whether you are an aboriginal, immigrant, and etc. Everyone wants to be equal.

I think that what Michael Ignatieff wants to do is the right thing to do such as make people equal, help average families and also to try helping the economy. All it comes down to now is whether or not Ignatieff is going to be true to his words, because if he is not he will not stay for long.

Cars can be hacked and remotely controlled, researchers find

With a lot of expertise computer hackers could gain remote access to someone's car. Just like they do to peoples computers. They can take over the basic functions including the control of its engine. Although no take overs have happened yet scientists conducted an experiment on a car they bought to hack. Their report said that it could happen. Because many of todays vehicles have wireless Bluetooth technology it is possible for a hacker to gain control of a vehicle. It can be hacked by making the car lock and brake and they could eavesdrop on its cabin and also steal vehicle data. They are now trying to found out how hard it is to do for a normal person. A lot of car safety issues are arousing lately and concerns of the internet comes in contact with almost every aspect in of daily life.

I think that this is really serious because stuff like this can get out and maybe people will start to actually hack the cars and this could cause many problems and crashes. This could also be a threat for things like kidnapping someone could hack another persons car and stop them and make them go another way and kidnap them. This could turn into a really big problem if it is possible to do for a normal man since these tests were done by very experienced scientists.

Complaints soar about distracted TTC drivers

Many people are complaining of distracted TTC drivers. TTC drivers are being caught texting, talking, or even doing sudoku puzzles behind the wheel. The number of complaints this January have doubled since last January. In January 2010 there were 48 complains of distracted drivers this January 2011 there were 81 complaints of distracted drivers. TTC officials have told driver that they could be fired for using cellphones for any reason while they are on duty. All drivers that have had complaints are investigated and the decision is made on a case-by-case basis. Then they make a decision and if the driver is guilty he is relieved of his job without pay pending the outcome.

I think that this is really bad because people taking the bus have to feel safe while they are in the bus. They will not feel safe if the bus driver is distracted while he is driving. They have to fix this because people will not take the bus if they see this because they will not feel safe. I know that this makes me uncomfortable to take the TTC after hearing all these complaints from people. They should really take this more seriously or there business will go down.

In-car GPS leaves driver stranded in snow for three days

A in car GPS led a Quebec medical student to a wrong destination that could have led to her dying. Stephanie who is 22 left home to go to a medical residency when her GPS led her the wrong way and she got stuck in the snow. She said that she would have tried to stay there till spring. The GPS led her to a place with no cell phone reception so she could not call for help. Lucky for her, her mom had packed a cooler full of food and soft drinks and a blanket and pillow. She had stayed in her car for 3 days. Stephanie was rescued when three snowmobiler's came across her. When they came to rescue her she was crying. She is lucky that she was found that day as if she would have stayed another night she might have not made it because the weather was going to drop to -30C that night. She had an emotional reunion with her dad when she came back.

I think that this is a really dangerous situation that a GPS can lead someone to a place with no cell phone reception and basically a deserted place. I don't know if this was Stephanie's fault for putting in the wrong destination which it could have been but she had put in the right destination then GPS companies have to investigate what went wrong with their GPS to lead her to the wrong destination.

Stabbed cabbie loses his income because of city rules

Taxi Driver Khalil Talke a taxi driver had been stabbed earlier trying to fight off a robber. He says he has been victimized twice. One from the stabbing and now the city is not letting him to rent out his cab while he is in the hospital. He has been forced to return his cab license to the city because he can't work. He said he is making nothing zero dollars he had returned his license to the city after the attack. He said, "People shouldn't lose an income because they were attacked on the job." The law is that if someone is to sick or injured to work they have to return their ambassador license. Usually if a driver is sick another driver can drive their car and they can still get some money from the other person driving the cab, but he is not allowed to do that.

I think that this is a situation that has to be changed soon. A person can not get injured from work than not be able to get paid either. They should either let him rent out his cab and still make some income or the government should somehow give him in an income while he is injured. I think that this law has to change as people can not live without an income and especially because they got hurt on the job.

Pirates hijack Danish family’s sailboat

The Somalian Pirates have struck again. Only two days after the Somalian Pirates had captured two Americans for the first time, now they have captured a Danish family. Most hostages the pirates have captured are professional sailors, not families. Pirates are not known to have captured children. On board was a Danish couple and three children from ages 12-16 and two adult crew members. The Danish Foreign Ministry said the ship sent a distress signal on Thursday. The boat was believed to be heading towards Somalia. Earlier Monday, the Somalian pirates hijacked another ship hijacking a Greek-owned cargo vessel with 23 crew on board.

I think that someone such as the US military or the Danish military have to start taking action in stopping these Somalian pirates, because they are really starting to take way to many lives. I think the Somalian Pirates are asking for someone to come and get them because they usually never hijack boats with kids on them. This really caught the public on surprise. Another thing is that people really need to be careful of were they go they shouldn't travel by boat in the Indian Ocean, they should try to avoid it as much as possible as there is a very big risk of travelling there.

Student wrongfully arrested at Brampton school

A Brampton mother wants the Peel District School Board to review its relationship with police after her 14 year old son was wrongfully arrested at his school. Carshel Knowles spent the night on a concrete bench in a holding cell before they admitted it was based on inaccurate information and dropped the charges. Knowles said he was in first period drama class when his principal called him out to the hall. Carshel didn't even know what was happening when he got out of the class two police offers put him in handcuffs and said he is under arrest. It wasn't until when he talked to his mom later that he found out why he had been arrested. They had arrested him because there was a robbery at a store across the school involving a gun. In the surveillance camera they had thought they had seen someone that looked like him but then found out that they could not clearly see the face. Carshel's mom was really mad about this that she changed Carshel's school. "They didn't have to arrest him at school" Thomas said.

I think that this situation was not handled correctly by the police or the school, because first of all the police did not have clear evidence that Carshel was the one who had committed the robbery. Also they should not have arrested him in school in front of his friends when they did not even know that he had done this action for sure. I think, that something like this can cause kids to not even go to school, because they think that something like this would happen to them, when they didn't even do anything in the first place.

Americans killed by pirates were living their dreams, friends say

Four Americans, who were retired and sailing around the world were killed by Somali Pirates Tuesday. The Four Americans were taken hostage by Somali pirates of East Africa, were shot and killed. This is the first time Americans had been killed by the pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean. Two days before this attack, a New York court had sentenced a pirate to 33 years in prison for the 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama, a U.S. cargo vessel. A pirate in Somalia told the AP last week that because of that verdict the pirates were more likely to attack Americans. The pirates currently hold 30 ships and more than 660 hostages. They typically get a multi-million dollar ransom for releasing their captives.

I think that the Somalian's are really getting there self into very big trouble by killing Americans. When they kill Americans they have to know that then they get the military involved which is not going to look to good for the Somalians. I also hope that they do get taken down because they have been doing this for many years and it is getting out of hand.

Disputed $50M lottery prize resolved by OLG

The Ontario Lottery Corporation has found a resolution to the disputed $50 million Lotto max jackpot from the Dec. 31 draw. Two groups who have claimed the prize from Bell Canada Scarborough have agreed to split it between all 30 of them. Only the original 19 will get their money today, while the other 11 will have to go to court to get their share of the $18 million left to claim. OLG said it will be up to the court to decide how much the additional claimants will be paid. The leader of the group of 19 Bell employees validated the one winning ticket on Jan. 3 after buying it in Scarborough. The OLG investigation concluded that 19 individuals were participants in the group and were entitled to some of the $50 million prize. This is the first time the jackpot has been won by a single ticket.

I think that OLG should have solved this a while ago. I do not know why it had taken them so long to come up with a decision to split it evenly. I think that this was the right idea to split it evenly it just shouldn't have taken them this long to do it. A

Salon worker fired over headscarf, she says

A young Markham woman who works as an esthetician claims she was fired for wearing an Islamic headscarf because the salon "promotes hair". Mehwish Ali, a 22 year-old was fired Tuesday, a day after she says the co-owner told her the hijab was unacceptable. "I was devastated when I heard that," Ali told the Star. " I have worn the hijab for more than 10 years and never felt any kind of discrimination." The co-owner of the franchise denies this and says, "This is a performance issue, strictly a performance issue." Ali disagrees with this and has turned to the Human Rights Legal Support Centre for help. On Monday the co-owner came to her and said, "We don't promote scarves here, we promote hair." She said,"Before you start work today, get rid of that thing off your head." Ali she she was upset and decided to go home.

I think that this is really racist and it is not right to tell someone to take off their scarf when this is part of their religion. Although maybe he didn't fire her because of the scarf he sure did make it look like that was the reason. I think if it was about her performance he should have talked to her about it and maybe given her a week to get her performance up. This is also bad because it can cause young Muslims to think again about wearing scarf and go against their religion.

Safety of keyless ignition systems questioned after deaths

Three separate deaths have been linked to key-less ignition. Keyless ignition is a relatively new car technology made for its convenience. According to reports the three deaths 1 in New York and 2 in Florida are said to be caused by Carbon Monoxide poisoning by inadvertent keyless engine ignitions. All three cases the people have died in their sleep from CO poisoning by leaving their engines running in their attached garage. One victim who survived the poisoning his filing a law suit against Toyota. Rivera a former college professor has had brain damage after her Lexus in 2008 was unintentionally started. Her lawyer said that the car was left running even though her keyless fob was separated from the car. "The engine should shut off after a specific period of time," Kushlefsky said. "It's a problem that's only going to be magnified as more cars end up on the road with keyless start".

I think that this has to be fixed before more keyless cars start coming, because then more and more people will start to die by this poisoning. My solution to this problem would be after the driver leaves the car for more than 5 minutes or so to automatically turn off the car to eliminate this problem, also to make it so that the key is not detected from less amount of distance, so that if the person has the key in his room it is not detected by the car in the garage.

Man in disguise says he was coached by smugglers

A young Asylum seeker who snuck into Canada disguised as an old man told an Immigration and Refugee Board hearing Thursday he was coached to lie by smugglers in China. He is being held in custody because he is a liar and a possible flight risk. The man boarded an Air Canada flight from Hong Kong last October wearing the elaborate mask, then removed it during the flight, prompting a warning from the Canada Border Services Agency. The claimant's lawyer said the only reason his client remains in detention is because the government wants to make an example of the man. The man admitted he lied to the Canada Border Service agency. He said, "The snakeheads told me I had only elementary school." His lawyer said, "He is afraid of the snakeheads, he did that, he did what he was told."

I think that this is a very important situation because people can disguise them self and go on a plane and possibly be a big risk to the plane. The government needs to get security to work harder so that they do not have to deal with these type of risks.

Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page hacked

The owner of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg has been hacked. The hackers have put a bit of financial advice on his page. "Let the hacking begin," the reputed rogue poster wrote on the page Tuesday night. The post was taken down quickly but already 1,800 people already liked it and 500 people had commented on it. The hacker suggested that Facebook should transform itself into a social business. Zuckerberg has been forced over and over again to defend Facebook's security levels and also most recently promised to make the social network's privacy controls simpler and more effective.

I think that Facebook has to make its security a lot better because there has been many hackers and this is scaring people away from using Facebook. If Facebook wants to maximize profits they are going to have to make their security a lot better and make it more safer and easier for the users to use. If Zuckerberg does succeed in making it more safe a lot more people will start using Facebook.

Apparent terrorist attack at Russian airport kills 31

An explosion in Moscow's busiest airport killed 31 people and 130 wounded, officials said. The Russian President called it a terror attack. "From the preliminary information we have, it was a terror attack," President Dmitry Medvedev told officials in a televised briefing. He ordered authorities to beef up security at Moscow's other airports and the subways, because that is where most of the terror attacks are usually at. "I heard a loud bang, saw plastic panels falling down from the ceiling and heard people screaming. The people then started running away," Lavochkin, who was waiting in the arrivals hall for his for his friend to arrive from Cuba told Rossiya 24 television.

Sofia Malyavania, a spokeswoman for the Social Development and Health Ministry, said 31 people were killed 160 wounded and their were 56 ambulances were sent to treat the the victims. "The airport was filled with smoke," Sofia Malyavania said on Rossiya 24. This is the first attack involving a Russian airport since 2004 when two suicide bombers, were able to board planes at Domodedovo by buying tickets illegally from airport personnel. This attack killed all 90 people aboard the two flights. The last terror attack in Moscow was last March when their were twin blasts in the Subway killing 39 people and wounded more than 60 people.

I think that Russia really needs to step up their game and get better security. They has been already many terrorist attacks on them they should have seen it coming, they should have beefed up there security long before this happened. I do agree with President saying to beef up security but he should have done it much earlier.
