In a recent article by Veronique Greenword entitled "why bacteria, not humans, can live on caffine." Greenwood informs her readers on two topics: 1) why we cannot live on caffine 2) how we possibley could.
    Humans cannot live on caffine because our stomachs do not have the correct bacteria to digest it. Therefore it simpley passes through the digestive tract unscathed. Yet the new found bacteria can digest it, and yes, does live on caffine, giving them energy as we would get from regular food.
     Some scientist believe that we may not have the desired bacteria in our guts, yet our body may still posses it making it semi possible of us becoming caffine digestors. Although scientist believe it possible since it has not yet happened it will be left at little more then a hypothesis.
    Although it may be possible to digest caffine, since we can't lets just go on eating so we can survive.

       In a recent article by Fox News, entitled " Government report on secret flying saucer avaliable" Fox News exposes classified government plans from the early 50's that show plans and tests on a flying saucer. The article specifies on two main ideas : 1) Government plans for the saucer 2) Hopes and outcomes of the saucer.
         In the article, it is explained that a flying saucer would be built for reconnaisance. It was expected to be able to travel at speeds of up to mach 4 and have a height of atleast 100,000 ft.
       The U.S Airforce contracted a Canadian company to construct the craft. (Avro Aircraft Limited in Ontario) Should the fact that the government used a foriegn company to construct this craft imply the depth of secrecy?
         Other articles, like this, have been ran many times over the years discussing secrets among the government or small organizations. Such articles, CIA Mind-Control Experiments by Nate Rawlings which tells of the CIA destroying files on mind control experiments said to be used for assassinations.
         There were tests apperentley tested on this craft and the efficiency of the airframe at supersonic speed appears good and that of the engine reasonable. Yet apperentley, as it gained in altitude, it would start to wobble uncontrollably. Weapons were also considered on the craft so that it could then be used for bombing, intercepting, and reconnaisance.
   So maybe it wasnt aliens all along, it was just government secretley testing new technology and people are overly gullable and dramatic.

In a recent article by Alex Rodriguez in the LA Times entitled "Pakistan sends former Taliban fighters to militant  rehab."   Rodriguez tells how former Taliban fighters participate in " deradicalization" programs, taking place in countries such as Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia, which are designated to re-educate former and present radical fighters bound against the U.S. One individual participating in the program, "Ahmed", claims "I would never admire what i did 11 years ago." and "It was a blunder on my part. I was immature, but it was my decision, and i am still paying the price for it." Rodriguez informs his readers on two main ideas, 1. How this helps these individuals 2. How many individuals were affected.
                    This program, in my opinion, seems to help the well being of those in the wrong by giving them a chance to make it right. Even the level of crimes committed may still be forgiven if stopped. The fact that it has helped one person could possibly  have saved one thousand lives in the same time.
                       From a database of Afghan-trained fighters and extremists monitored by Pakistani authorities, 600 were selected to participate; about half of them agreed. Many had fought with the Afghan Taliban against the U.S.; others came from Pakistani militant groups seen by the West as a continuing threat, including Jaishe-Muhammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba, the organization behind the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India, that resulted in more then 160 deaths.
                          To me, this is just one step closer to piece between radical members, foriegn and domestic, and those countries affected by acts of terror.
