Afghanistan police training

          In a recent article by Laura King in the LA Times entitled "Afghan police recruits to be rescreened; U.S. suspends training ,"  King informs her readers of two purposes in writing this article: 1) explain the "insider shootings" 2) inform readers on the suspended training and new recruits.
            "American special operations forces have suspended the training of new recruits to an Afghan village militia until the entire 16,000-member force can be rescreened for possible links to the insurgency, U.S. officials said Sunday." In King's article, this statement describes the repercussions of an "insider shooting" which has came from several members that have been trained by the U.S armed forces. All trainees must be rescreened before training will begin again. This is schelduled to last almost a month. Even though we trust our "partners" in Afghanistan, we still can not have insurgents with our weapons shooting us with the training we gave them.
          Forty-five NATO service members have either been murdered, or wounded by these new trained insurgents. Therefore this will delay the time of training, the trust between trainer and trainee, and the amount of trainers for them. After the war between countries i understand the tension that will be boiling between officials, yet if one is trying to help another i cannot comprehend the killing that goes on both sides of this arguement. If the war is over why is there still a need to fight?
          Maybe one day there will be actual peace between the east and west, but the training of police officers will impact greatley the control of their government and basicly give Afghanistan a fresh start in the world of Democracy.

Inferences

One conclusion I drew from the infographic WTC time line is that the new World Trade Center will be a very safe, structuraly sound building. For one, there will be 45,000 tons of structural steel used in the rebuilding of the World Trade Center. 45,000 tons of steel is six times the amount used in the making of the Eiffel Tower. Also, 3 foot of concrete, which is impregnated with reinforcing steel, will be protecting the outer shell of this master piece. The logical explination for this structural reinforcing is not to scare terrorist from attacking us, but to all together deflect it.

Tyler's reading bucket list

To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee - This title came to mind because Mrs. Gilmore recommended that every student that has not yet read this book should deffinatley pick it up! Most students have also read this and highley recommend it. In the recommendations people have said that it is about these children that are "investigating" their neighbor who never leaves his house and seems to be pretty creepy.
Looking For Alaska by John Green - Looking for alaska caught my eye because it seems to be very adventureis. What i concluded from the description is that John Green is depicting a story from adventures in alaska. Espically since this book is on the "Top 100 List" it has been chosen as one of the main titles on my bucket list and i hope to read it very soon.
The Book Theif by Markus Zusak - I do not have much background information from this book, but that still does not stop me from wanting to read this. It seems to be a book set in the older ages and is a knew selection of reading that i will soon be attempting.
Harry Potter Series by J.K Rolling - This particular series is on my list because i have seen some of the movies. I recall that Mrs. Gilmore looks down upon seeing the movie before reading the book. This why i will try to redeem myslef by reading the series. The series is about a young wizard that is orphaned to live with his aunt and uncle. They treat him with the most faint signs of being nice. Then young harry is intrused to the world of wizards and the school (hogwarts) which is where his adventures will soon begin.
Hunger Games Series by Susan Collins - This series resembles times of civil war, where the government is basicly torturing their citizens. A fellow student recommended this series to me by describing how this girl has to hunt for her own food which is highley illegal in their society. The "Hunger Games" is like randomly picking two children from each major city and making them fight to the death. This series portrays how wrong and cruel this is to do to even enemies much less citizens of your own country.
I am Number 4 by Paticus Lore - In the video, this book is set out to be about a group of people with special powers. I think theres like 8 people in the group? Yet numbers one through 3 have already been killed and it tells that it is number fours job to save the world. This story interest me greatley. I espically want to read it before i watch the movie.
Miss Perguines Home For Pecuiluar Children by Ransom Riggs - The description of this book tells about children in a very old house. These children are "special" that meaning they can do what others cannot. There are people that stand strongly against these children living and prefer lock them away in a jail or dungeon then to care to help or support them.
The Perks Of Being A Wall Flower by Stephen Chbesky - In the video of this book it shows how a student is constantly bullied and implies how wrong it is.
Calico Joe by John Grisham - This is another book that i havent heard much about, but iv been told that it is a very good read and is well worth my time.
Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare - I do not know anything on this book either.
