“A lobotomy, it doesn’t sound threatening,” I repeated to myself while I lie on the cold metal slab. I know it was unnecessary, but like all patients I lost the already damned battle. Let me explain myself to someone I know is willing to listen. You.
It all started with my sentence to the asylum, the place that would assuage the life of someone like me…a lunatic as they called it. At first like every other truthfully sane person that was sent to decay within the walls of this place, I was told that I was recovering. That I will surely be released soon. LIES! I knew it would never happen. I would never feel the calming rays of the sun reach me. I would never be able to enjoy the umbrage in the meadow behind my house ever again.
Weeks, then months, then years passed until I got the rush of happiness and freedom of the surmise of my sentence of this wretched prison. They said it would ameliorate me. I got to speak with the head of this so called hospital.
“They said you’re doing better,” He paused then it came, “What do you think?”
Nervously the words spilled out of my mouth. “Yes, I agree.”
He then replied with no hesitation to thought, not even the slightest bit of consideration. “Unfortunately your psych evaluation tells a different story.”
“Excuse me?”
“It’s been stated by your doctor that you seem unstable and extremely agitated by even the simplest things.”
I couldn’t believe what I just heard. I’m being forced to stay in this living hell for the rest of my pathetic life.
As I walked out of the room this cold sensation filled my body. Further down the hall I saw him, the man that filled my head with lies. I can’t describe the feeling of rage that overcame me.
“How was the meeting?” He said followed by a grimace more crazed than the mind of anyone admitted to this place.
At this point I realized.
“You did it on purpose.”
“Excuse me?” The words crawling from his lips like demons from hell.
“You did,” I said.
He just laughed.
“You’re mistaken. Have you taken your pills?”
I froze. I couldn’t move. The rage I stopped me in my tracks. So many things were going through my head but nothing made sense. He pulled his quill tip pen from his pocket.
“Here’s another prescription for your medication.” He pulled the paper from the pad and stuck out his hand. I stood there in awe. The one person who knew I was sane and could have helped me get released was keeping me in.
I stood speechless staring at the paper in his hand. My mind went blank. The only thing in my head was revenge. I looked at his chest and there was my instrument of revenge, his pen. I reached my hand out but not far for the prescription. I snatched the pen out of his pocket.
The words fell from his mouth, “Orderly!” One’s attacking me.”
But, before anyone could react I grabbed his lab coat and threw him against the stone cold wall and whispered in his ear. “I along I let you convince me I was the lunatic, but no—you are. I have to help every other sane person here and end your sociopathic reign of this hell!”
A smile came over his face. “But, I didn’t get caught.”
Then I lost all control and thrust the sharp tip of the pen across his neck and let him fall into the lurid scene of his own blood. I stepped away and dropped my instrument of revenge. Not even seconds passed before the head of the hospital ran to the scene, dropped to his knees, and looked up.
“What the hell have you done!”
I did this hell a favor. I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I looked behind me and saw a blurry figure of an orderly hit me. I was injected with a sedative and…I fell.

Ghost Chasers By: Gabriel Ainsworth
Once upon a time, there were 4 Ghost Chasers who lived in New York City. Their names were Spengler Jr, Stantz Jr, Venkman Jr, and Zeddemore Jr. They were the sons of Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, and Winston Zeddemore who were a group that hunted down ghosts in the mid 80s to early 90s (The Ghostbusters).
The Ghost Chasers were born in 1984 around the time the Ghostbusters were hunting down ghosts. The Ghost Chasers were named after their fathers. Spengler Jr, Stantz Jr, Venkman Jr, and Zeddemore Jr. had dreams of becoming paranormal hunters like their fathers when they were children because they thought it would be cool to hunt down and destroy ghosts or spirits. The 4 children eventually got to fulfill their destinies to become paranormal hunters when they grew up and transcended through college at the New York City Paranormal Institute in 2003. They all graduated in 2007 and formed their own group of paranormal hunters called The Ghost Chasers.
One day in 2009, the Ghost Chasers received a case to investigate paranormal activity at an old asylum from the mid 1800s called The Trans-Alleghany Lunatic Asylum in a small city of Weston, WV. The asylum in the past has kept many prisoners from the Civil War to dangerous felons like Charles Manson. The employees who work at the landmark have asked the Ghost Chasers for their help in investigating and destroying the fractious spirits that infringe within the asylum. There had been rumors that employees and tourists have been inveighed and physically attacked within the building for the past decade. Spengler Jr, Stantz Jr, Venkman Jr, and Zeddemore Jr all got on a plane to travel from New York to Clarksburg, WV to solve the case.
Once the Ghost Chasers arrived at North Central West Virginia Airport in Clarksburg, They took a bus to Weston, WV to the asylum which was a half hour away from the Clarksburg. The Ghost Chasers arrived at Trans-Alleghany Lunatic Asylum late afternoon and met one of the employees who told them all these rumors of attacks that happened for the last decade. They were appalled by this information and commiserated over the ones who were abused by these ghosts. The Ghost Chasers were prepared for the unexpected when they started the investigation and hunting for spirits later that night and got their proton packs ready. The proton packs would shoot out electricity to weaken the ghost and destroy it.
It was about 10:30 PM that night and the asylum was closed for the night as the ghost chasers started their hunt for ghosts. It was very creepy and dark within the building. At 11:00 PM, the ghost chasers were on the 1st floor of the asylum and in the hallway. Spengler Jr. spotted a flash of light looming off in the distance. The other chasers began to cower and charged their proton packs just in case. The flash of light disappeared into thin air after about 5 seconds. The Ghost Chasers were anxious and didn’t what to expect next. They began to hear a voice as they started heading up to the 2nd floor. The voice sounded sounded like an elderly man with a raspy voice and was saying “Get Out”! Spengler Jr, Stantz Jr, Venkman Jr, and Zeddemore Jr were trying to infer why this spirit wanted them out so badly. Zeddemore Jr was communicating to the spirit asking it questions and enjoining it: “Who are you?” “Show yourself!” But there was a dead silence and no one appeared in sight. The Ghost Chasers were set to use their proton packs in case of an upcoming attack. They saw nothing but darkness but all of a sudden Stantz Jr was pinned to a wall and hovering in mid air. The other chasers saw Stantz Jr being choked while pinned to a wall in the air by a spirit who looked white as snow in form. They started firing away their proton packs at the vicious spirit. After a minute of firing, the Spirit was killed and vanished as Stantz Jr fell to the floor catching his breath.
The Ghost Chasers continued their investigation with caution as they headed up to the 3rd floor. This time they heard many different types of voices. There were a few voices that sounded like men saying “Who are you?” Some of the other voices said “Interlopers!” The Ghost Chasers formed a coalition to prepare for the unexpected. All of a sudden the ghost chasers saw about 10 spirits appear in front of them. They started firing away at the ghosts and killed all of them. After the shooting there was a moment of silence. Spengler Jr, Stantz Jr, Venkman Jr, and Zeddemore Jr were lurid, their adrenalines were pumping and their hearts were beating at a fast pace. Out of nowhere a huge spirit appeared in front of them. It looked like the spirit of Charles Manson. The spirit looked creepy from appearance. He looked deformed in a kind of way and talked in a raspy type voice. The spirit was an estimate 7 feet tall and felt cold when you came within two feet in front of it. The spirit had a dirty but furious look on his face. “What have you done to my ghost friends!?” “YOU MURDERED THEM!” Spengler Jr, Stantz Jr, Venkman Jr, and Zeddemore Jr were quivering and wondering what this spirit was going to do to them. The spirit was still belligerent and getting out of control “My friends will be avenged!” The spirit them started an attack on the ghost chasers. The Ghost Chasers tried to destroy the spirit of Charles Manson but the spirit was too fast to catch. He was speedy like a car going 100 mph. Venkman Jr did manage to get a clean shot at him and fired away. The proton charges didn’t affect the spirit or weaken him. The proton packs for all the ghost chasers were almost out of power and didn’t have enough proton charges to do a lot of damage on a ghost. The Ghost Chasers thought that could be their only hope in destroying this spirit. They devised a plan to destroy the spirit once and for all. They ran with their proton packs into an old room on the 3rd floor and shut the door tight so the spirit couldn’t break through. They quickly recharged all the proton packs to full and maximum power as fast as they could. “HURRY!” enjoined Zeddemore Jr. They formed a coalition to fire together to maximum fire power to destroy the ghost. They did a countdown “1,2,3” and immediately let the spirit open the door and the ghost chasers fired away their proton packs at full fire power at once. The recharging of the proton packs paid off, the ghost took heavy damage and was weaken after a few some hits to his head and body. Shortly after, the ghost chasers used up _ of the energy in their proton packs to destroy the spirit. The spirit blew up and vanished into oblivion.
Spengler Jr, Stantz Jr, Venkman Jr, and Zeddemore Jr were assuaged that all the spirits including the spirit of Charles Manson have all been destroyed. It was about 2:30 AM after they finally destroyed the spirit of Charles Manson. The Ghost Chasers fell asleep from lassitude of carrying the heavy proton packs and being up for 16 hours straight in the old room on the 3rd floor. They awoke to find the employees and the director of the Asylum cheering and happy they had ridden the asylum of the ghastly ghosts that had been haunting them.
Later that day, the ghost chasers received thanks from all the residents in Weston and also received a medal for their courage in defeating the spirits and the asylum was spirit free from then on.

McDonald's Globaly By: Roshni Patel
Indian McDonald’s is very different from American McDonald’s. I surmise you do not know the differences. It has many different varieties of food, like sandwiches, pastas, vegetables with rice, sweet tea, and so many different things. It has many vegetarian dishes also, like samosas and Manchurians (little dumplings with vegetables inside). I prefer eating at McDonald’s in India, because there are so many vegetarian items.
Are Dinosaurs Extinct? By: Alex Whalen
Are dinosaurs extinct? New evidence has been brought to our attention that the meteor whipped out the most famous and large dinosaurs like the T-Rex. But, the meteor never finished them completely. Research by Jack Horner has shown that they had the same hollow bones as modern birds and some paleontologists believe that select groups of dinosaurs did have feathers. That’s right facts have lead us to believe that dinosaurs never went extinct but evolved into modern birds.
2010 Oakley Splices By: Andrew Orfanidis
The Oakley Splice line of goggles are easily the most comfortable and clean goggles I have ever worn. This year I bought a pair of the Lava Sky Splices and I give them 5 out of 5 stars. The vision is so clear and crisp you wouldn’t even know you have goggles on. All the Splices come with Plutonite lenses and Iridium lens coating that protect your eyes from any rays. Splices come in a variety of colors and graphics all of which I find to be great. These goggles range from $120-$190+ mine were $159 but in my mind they are worth every penny.
Rob Brown By: Cees Plomp
Once upon a time, in a town called Weston, there was a quiet little man called Rob Brown. He was an unassuming man who became an accountant, got married young, and had no children. He was a fairly intelligent person, as such things are reckoned, and he never made any serious mistakes with his life-except one. It was not too horrible a mistake for most people, and in many people’s case it would not be a mistake. What he did was to trust his wife.
She was, for six years, trustworthy, but unfortunately never truly happy with the level of comfort he was able to give her on his modest salary. When she met a man she found attractive and wealthy, she started a love affair with him, then managed to convince him it was worth his while to eliminate her husband in order to have her to himself. This new man, who will not be named, was a prestigious doctor from New York. He had some people who owed him favors, and he used them to have Rob Brown pronounced insane and committed to the nearest asylum, which happened to be the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. Rob tried to avoid it, but there was nothing he could do once pronounced mad. This was to be the worst and last part of Rob’s life.
In the asylum, he was unable to convince anyone that he was, in fact, sane. Soon, he stopped caring. All that mattered to him was staying away from doctors and orderlies at any time, in order to avoid “treatments”. He found those to be the worst part of living there, and he would often offer almost anything the other patients wanted if they would help him hide from the authorities. One day, this habit became his downfall, as it led to him being marked “antisocial”. While in some places, this would mean that the staff would try to get him to participate more in group activities, this place attempted nothing of the sort-indeed, group activities were seen by most workers as a waste of time. The end result of his antisocial diagnosis was that he was scheduled for the next lobotomy.
Lobotomies were the most feared procedure at the asylum, and with good reason. Although most patients did survive, despite the beliefs of the public, it usually ended up with the victim becoming a vegetable, or simply going into a coma. Rob did not know he was to be lobotomized until the day Walter Freeman arrived. Walter was famous for popularizing the new “ice-pick” method of lobotomies, which involved strapping a patient down, placing an ice-pick under their eyelids, and hammering it up into the front their skull with a mallet. Once it was in the brain, the pick would be swept from side to side, then removed.
Rob did not know any of this. All he knew was that for no reason he could see, doctors caught him in his room, sedated him, and took him strapped to a gurney to one of the operating rooms. Luckily for him, he was sedated enough not to care where he was taken, not to care when he saw a blood-covered man wheeled out on a gurney of his own, and not to care when he heard a voice (That of Walter Freeman, although he didn’t know it), call out “Bring in number 44!”. All he felt was a slight pressure on his eye when the pick was slipped in, then in his forehead when it was hammered into his brain. After that, he never felt-as we know it- again. Once his operation was done, he was wheeled out, and Walter called out “Bring in number 45!”. He lived a few more months, if you want to call it living, then quietly perished from starvation after he began refusing to eat. His wife, upon hearing the news, felt nothing but mild surprise. In fact, the only one to care about his death was his parents, who ended up bringing his body home to be buried, and attempting to have the lobotomies stopped. Sadly, their efforts were not enough to stop the operations, and Rob Brown was, in time, forgotten as anything but another victim of the Trans-Alleghney Lunatic Asylum.
The Titans By: Gabriel Ainsworth
The 2009 Tennessee Titans NFL Team is currently in a world of hurt. They have a 3-6 season record and have the possibility of finishing their season strong with a 7-9 or 8-8 record for the regular season according to the remainder of their schedule. They might win all of their remaining games but it’s a doubt.
The 2009 Tennessee Titans were predicted to win 9 or 10 games and possibly be a playoff team but their season isn’t fairing well for what was expected from them this season. The Titans started the season 0-6 under Kerry Collins as the starting quarterback. Kerry Collins hasn’t helped the Titans win games this season. He has played horribly this season compared to last season when he went 12-3 as the starter after Vince Young injured himself late in the second half in the Titans 2008 season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Collins helped the Titans go to a 13-3 regular season record in 2008 and helped the Titans get the #1 seed and home field advantage in the AFC Playoffs. The Titans eventually were upset by #4 Seeded Baltimore Ravens 13-10 at home. The Titans defense hasn’t played so well this year. Their defense is horrible compared to last season. The Titans defense currently is ranked almost last in NFL in pass defense (31st) as compared to last season when they were ranked 7th.The Titans rush defense hasn’t played well either. Their rush defense is better than their pass defense. The Titans rush defense this season currently ranks 16th as compared to last season when they were ranked 5th. The Titans offense however, seems to have picked up where it left off from last season. The Titans ground game has definitely picked up where it left off. They are currently ranked 2nd behind The New York Jets in rushing offense. Their passing offense has played the same since last year too, having ranked 26th.
After the Titans lost their first six games with Kerry Collins being the starter in the 2009 season, the Titans replaced Kerry Collins with backup quarterback Vince Young as the starter for the remainder of the season. From then on the Titans have won 3 straight games with Vince Young being the starting quarterback to go to 3-6 so far. Vince Young have played equitable but average, he’s had two passer ratings of 90 the pass two games and had one 114.1 in his first start this season when he completed 15-18 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown and no interceptions in a 30-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 1, 2009. His performance has ameliorated since earlier this season. Vince Young played in one game two weeks earlier before his first start on October 11, 2009 against the Indianapolis Colts late in the second half to get some playing time and didn’t play so well. He threw a pick and no touchdowns in 31-9 lost. Vince Young overall in his first 3 starts has an 85.9 passer rating and has thrown for 507 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
The Tennessee Titans have never had a 10-6 regular season record after starting a season 0-6 in team history. The Titans started their 2006 season 0-5 and ameliorated to 8-8 when rookie Vince Young took over as the starting quarterback after the titans started 0-3 under their original starter Kerry Collins. Vince Young went to an 8-5 record as the starter that season and the titans almost made the playoffs but came up short when they had to win their remaining three games of their season. They won the first two but lost their season finale which could have helped the titans make the final seed in the 2006 AFC Playoffs.
The Titans are hoping to transcend on their winning streak and finish their season meritorious. If there’s some miracle, the titans win all their remaining games and possibly make the playoffs but that’s not going to be easy and it’s almost impossible. They’re going to have to work some magic, have a sedulous attitude, and rely on their offense to help win their games especially their running game if they expect to come away with a winning record this late in the season even if it means winning their games by smoke and mirrors.

Thanksgiving Feast By: Ian Saunders
Whether it’s the smell of a fresh apple, pecan, or pumpkin pie, or the smell of turkey, stuffing, and gravy, those unforgettable smells remind you that, it’s Thanksgiving time. From homemade stuffing to cranberry sauce and mash potatoes, when it’s Thanksgiving all of your favorite foods are waiting for you on one table. At my house some of my favorites are the mash potatoes smothered in gravy, the turkey and ham, and the desserts. I usually don’t eat pies but I do eat the ice cream and the cookies. For my sisters the homemade stuffing, the apple pie, and the pecan pie are what they look forward to when they come home for Thanksgiving. From that first bite of well cut tenuous turkey to the last, it keeps me wanting to eat all day. Luckily, leftovers help me. I get to eat as much turkey as I want for about a week after Thanksgiving. And when it’s all gone I’ve gotten my turkey fill for the year. So let the count down begin, and start ripping your bread, because Thanksgiving in next Thursday.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
The Unexpected: Ian Saunders
“Congratulations to the class of 2011, you’re finally done!” the headmaster said as we started to cheer and raise our caps in joy and relief. We had done it. We graduated. Only summer left and we start our journey off to college. Me, on the other hand, that was a different story. Having only my mom and my sister, college was just out of the question. Staying home for the sake of my sister was the only option, unless my mother could stop using and drinking. I was going to enjoy my last summer with my friends, live it up, party, hang out, and relax. “John, man, we are all going to my house later, you in?” Mike asked while putting my in a headlock.
“Sure, I just have to let my mom know.”
“Alright man, party of the year!” Always a party to him. Mike was probably the biggest jock/ jerk in the school, but he always could throw a good party. That night I decided to go. Upon my arrival, I realized that this was the true start to my summer. I wasn’t going to sit around and do nothing. This was my last summer as a kid. I needed to enjoy it.
I was finally at Mike’s house. The place was packed with people, and alcohol to go around. As I was trying to enter his house, I saw our usual gang waving me down. “John! Over here” Marry yelled. I slithered through the large crowed into the kitchen. “Finally you’re here, we are talking about a trip, you in?” Brian asked.
“What kind of trip” I replied.
“A road trip to West Virginia to this old asylum.” Jessica said. “
I’m in! Anything that will get me out of here” I said as I pounded down my drink. I almost feel as if I was just not thinking because of how mad I was at myself for basically taking care of my family while my mother sat back and drank. But by this point I was just happy to be out of my house. “When are we going?” I asked starting on my 3rd drink. “Well if all goes as planned in 2 days, I got to get my dads car first.” Mike said.
“We can take my car.” I said.
“Then let’s leave tomorrow, I don’t want to be here any longer.” Jessica said, slurring her speech for she had been there since after graduation.
“Sounds good to me!” I yelled. From there on out it was a blur.
When the sun was rising I found myself on the floor of a bathroom that was not mine, and a slate smell to the air. My head was pounding and I was vulnerable to sound. I was experiencing my first hangover. I got up, fixed my clothes, and slowly worked my way downstairs. Upon my arrival to the base of the stairs Jessica, Mary, Brian, and Mike greeted me. They were all showered and ready to go. For what? I asked myself. “Dude, you’re not ready yet? Come on take a shower let’s go!” Mike said while shoving me back up the stairs. It took me an hour to get ready for I could barely move my body. Now I was ready. I got all my things went down stairs, took a cup of coffee to go, and we were off to West Virginia. “How long of a ride is this?” Mary asked.
“I don’t know a day, a week.” Mike said.
“You’re not funny!” Mary yelled. It would take up 3 hours to get to West Virginia and then another hour to get to Weston. This day would be long and tiring. I decided to sleep my headache off.
“John…we are here wake up!” Jessica said as everyone was running towards the gates to the asylum.
“It’s all locked” Brian exclaimed. “Are you kidding me? We drove all this way for nothing? This is great just great!” Mary nagged.
“Calm down Mary, we will find away in.” and that we did. We walked around to the side and there was an opening in the fence. We all climbed through and raced to the doors.
“I’m not to sure about this guy’s.” Mary said with a frightened voice.
“Don’t be such a baby.” Mike said. I too wasn’t so sure about this anymore. I mean I never told my mom where I was. As much as I hated her at this moment I just couldn’t help but feel bad for making her wonder. We kept on walking. When we reached the doors, we opened them. They made a loud and high-pitched screech that was so unpleasant to the ear. We all cringed in horror. “Oh my gosh! Haven’t they ever heard of WD-40?” We entered. As soon as we enter there was a cold vibe, as if the summer turned into winter in a split second. “SLAM!” we all looked behind us to see the doors had closed on their own. “Ok now I’m really scared.” Mary said.
“It’s fine, you’ll be fine.” Brian insisted. We all walked passed the main office and into the dark. Now it was getting dark.
“Guy’s, I think we should just go.” Whimpered Jessica. Everyone just ignored her. It was pitch black; we had two flashlights and no clue what time it was. We were entering on the second floor. Tiles had fallen from the ceiling, there was off colored paints on the walls, creepy vibes, and paranormal activities. The windows at the ends of hallways had cages, the tiles on the wall had slime and mold, and the stains that appeared to look like blood, were all signs of horror. As we enter on to the next hallway we saw a room full of stretchers. “ Wow look at these!” Mikes said.
“Don’t Mike, stop don’t touch them.” Mary pleaded. “Mike…what’s wrong with him!” Mike appeared to be floating. He was up in the air. Being thrown onto the wall. “Oh my gosh what’s wrong with him. Someone help him.” Jessica screamed. I was in such lurid shocked I couldn’t do anything but stare as his body was shaken and he tried to cling back to life. He fell. “John help me elevate his head.” Brian asked. Brian and I ran over.
“We need to get out of here now!” Mary yelled while crying. She was right this was enough we had to leave. “Put him on a stretcher and let’s get out of here now. No excuses lets go!” I yelled. We fixed him up on the stretcher. We started down the hallway slowly. “ That’s it keep is steady. Don’t bump it to much.” I said in a low scared voice. “ Wait…do you hear that?” We all stopped to try to elicit the sound. It sounded like footsteps behind us were coming up on us fast. “ Go..Go!! GO!!” I yelled. We moved as fast as we could into the next hallway. We stopped “Okay get him down the stairs.” We slowly, carried the stretcher out and into the black sky. “ Wait this isn’t the front?” We landed ourselves in the courtyard. We were not out yet.
“ Okay, here’s the plan. John and I are going to go find the closest way out of here. We will come back and get out. Stay here. Don’t move him, and if he becomes conscious, let him rest. We will find a doctor when we get out.” Brian and myself ran back into the asylum. We were on the second floor again. We looked from hallway to hallway. “ John. I think I found a way out.” I ran over I could see the trees that were in from of the asylum before. We raced down to see if it was a way out. It was.
“I’ll sit here, you go back and get them.” Brian whispered. As scared as I was, I knew I had to go back and get them.
“Okay I’ll go.” I said I disappeared off into the darkness. A slowly walked up the stairs and peeked my head out into the hallway. There was no one. I slowly worked my way out into the hallway. The sound of laughter came from all around me. It stopped. It got harder and harder to breathe. I was panting like a dog. I fell to the grounded. Choking. This was it I thought. I was going to leave unhappy with my life, mad at my mother, and leave my sister to take care of her. I became light headed. Then, it stopped. It extricated me. I started gulping in air. I got up and started walking holding myself up by using my hands on the wall. I could here more footsteps. I ran faster and faster down the hallways. I came to the door and busted it opens. “ John!” I ran over to Mary and Jessica. “How is he?” I asked.
“He’s the same. I'm really worried.” Jessica said quivering.
“Don’t worry. We are going to get out of here and get him to a hospital.” I said. We lifted him to the stretcher and started back to where Brian was waiting. We walked through the hallways back down the stairs to the 1st floor and into the main lobby. We ran through the main doors and met up with Brian. We gather out on the grass and sighed in relief. It was over. We were out.
We drove to the nearest hospital and had Mike looked at. The doctors said there was nothing wrong and that he was in shock. We couldn’t see him. For when he did wake up he was having fits and screaming. All of us waited in the lobby commiserating. We called our parents and told them what had happened. About and 4 hours later they arrived to take us home. My mom drove me home sober, for once. It was a silent car ride home, and the longest. When we got home she said, “Well I hope you’re happy. You scared me. You ruined your friends life and now he’s in the hospital.” I didn’t reply. I just walked up to my room slammed the door, and fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up and walked down stairs. My mom said nothing. “ I'm going to visit Mike. Ill be back in a couple of hours.” I said. There was no response so I walked out. When I got to his house I sat in the car. I thought about what was going to happen. I couldn’t think straight. I finished my coffee and started walking to his door. From the first look Mike’s parents gave me, I knew there was something wrong. This summer would be the hardest to live through out my life.
“Sure, I just have to let my mom know.”
“Alright man, party of the year!” Always a party to him. Mike was probably the biggest jock/ jerk in the school, but he always could throw a good party. That night I decided to go. Upon my arrival, I realized that this was the true start to my summer. I wasn’t going to sit around and do nothing. This was my last summer as a kid. I needed to enjoy it.
I was finally at Mike’s house. The place was packed with people, and alcohol to go around. As I was trying to enter his house, I saw our usual gang waving me down. “John! Over here” Marry yelled. I slithered through the large crowed into the kitchen. “Finally you’re here, we are talking about a trip, you in?” Brian asked.
“What kind of trip” I replied.
“A road trip to West Virginia to this old asylum.” Jessica said. “
I’m in! Anything that will get me out of here” I said as I pounded down my drink. I almost feel as if I was just not thinking because of how mad I was at myself for basically taking care of my family while my mother sat back and drank. But by this point I was just happy to be out of my house. “When are we going?” I asked starting on my 3rd drink. “Well if all goes as planned in 2 days, I got to get my dads car first.” Mike said.

Time to fly: The Atlanta Hawks this year are a young team having a 10-2 record so far maybe not the best team in numbers but if you saw them play recently they would surprise you. Having Josh smith and Joe Johnson on you team is a huge advantage. Johnson has a 30 point night and a victory over the Heat.
Lebron as a football player?
Lebron in high school excelled in football as well as basketball. He has been quoted as saying he would like to play football, but the only thing is that he is the biggest star in the NBA at this point. So Lebron should stick to his day job and that’s playing ball for the Caves.

Scary Story: By Dylan Stapelfeld
Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
In West Virginia there is one of the largest buildings made of hand cut stones and it just happens to be a hospital for the lunatics. The hospital house patients for the Civil War as well as the insane. The building was extremely large and dusty; the main purpose of this asylum was to assuage the insane. Some people go in there and try eliciting the truth from this haunted place. As you enter this place you can feel a weird aura in the air, and maybe see some tenuous shadows. Some inveigh that this place isn’t haunted but that’s for you to find out.

Story By: Musawar Ahmed
When I was 15 in Lahore I went hunting with my cousins in my uncle’s hometown. We spent 7 nights in the trees hunting wild dogs, because they killed a lot of people in there and then something weird happened. We saw some ghost there. They were like 4 or 5 and we thought they might need help. So we went to the side where they were headed but we couldn’t see them anymore. The next night they came back and I think they were trying to scare us. One of my cousin tried to talk with them but they didn't listen to us and they started throwing our stuff everywhere and we got scared and we ran. We went to the village and we told them that we had just seen ghosts. They told us all story that they could do things like humans, and that they had once burned down a house. Coincidentally, the next day we all got sick. Maybe it was fear, but maybe the ghosts made us ill.
Untitled By: Spencer Perkins
My name is Spencer Perkins my story on this world is nothing that concerns you. Though I do have a job to do now and it is to figure out what is going on in this messed up world. So I was sent to the Trans Alleghany Lunatic Asylum. For what, apparently some kids use it as a place to go drink and party. For what though to have a good time. What a bunch of fools. Now I have to take time to figure out what happened to these kids.
So I’m at the Asylum and it is big dark and looks rely bad ass. So I walk in the doors and all I can see is a dark shadow and I walk up to it saying the good old saying I’m a police and I am here to find Stephanie Alfred. When I get up to the figure it slowly walks farther into the shadows. I yell stop and it continues and fades away. Not thinking what he was doing I walk over and opened a door on the right where I saw all of the dead teens except Stephanie. I walk over to them all and checked all there identification it was positive for all the names I had on my list. I radio HQ and told them that I had found all the bodies except for Alfred and than they told me that it was her who sent out a radio signal from the building. So I know now that she might be alive or she might not. I walk further into the asylum and I walk into the civil war section where I walk into room 7 knowing that, that room looked like I had all ready been in it but I had not. So I find objective Alfred in the room and I go up to her and tell her every thing well be ok. She looks at me and takes off my mask and goes to kiss me when she sees my head was never there and I was one of the dark shadow figures. I disappear into the dark corner of the room and left project Alfred to fend for her self.

In Minnesota a tour bus rolled off the interstate into a ditch Wednesday killing two people and 21 were injured severely. The bus was carrying 23 people and many of them were older in age. The roads were dry and clear at the time of the accident so whether conditions were not the cause. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Many of the victims were taken to the hospital to assuage their pain and looses from the accident.
In Parsippany New Jersey workers from the trash company sorted through 10 tons of trash to find a wedding ring accidentally thrown away by a local couple. The husband inadvertently threw the cup away before leaving to work not remembering the ring had been placed into the cup. It’s amazing how the ring was found under that many tons of trash. This couple is very thankful and believes it was a “miracle” that the ring was found.

Snowmobiles By: Mike Willis
Snowmobiles
There are many different manufactures of snowmobiles such as skidoo, Artic cat, Polaris, and Yamaha. They all have there different personality and traits some are built for speed and some for built for comfort. It all depends what you prefer to ride you can go fast or enjoy the ride.
The Yamaha line up is very powerful and you have many selections. I think that the best sled that they provide is the Yamaha Apex GT it has an amazing four cylinder liquid cooled 998cc engine. There is a independent wish bone front suspension and signal shock rear end.
Polaris has a great 2010 line up and there is a lot of promise for them. The most interesting sled is the 2010 Polaris rush it is the most technology advanced sled on today’s market it has a 600cc engine. The suspension is one of a kind the front suspension is adjustable and in the rear it is a pro ride suspension kind of like a dirt bike.
The 2010 skidoo line up is the best we have seen in years. One of the sleds the produce is the renegade backcountry x it has a 800cc engine. The suspension is a double a-arm front and in the rear it is sc-5 inch shock travel.

Old vs. New By: Chris Whitcomb
Over the years the snowmobiles have advanced a lot, from the suspension all the way to the engines, the old vintage sleds were hard to handle, hard to ride and hard to keep running, the new sleds are like driving a car, all you do is sit and ride. The uptake on them is 3 times easier than the older sleds and an all around better ride on and off the trails.
Dragon Age: Origins - A Review By Cees Plomp
Dragon Age: Origins - A Review
Dragon Age: Origins is the new RPG from Bioware, a company known for RPGs - and it has delivered once again. Dragon Age is a well-crafted, long-lasting game that can easily take up to 40 hours to complete- or more, if you like side-quests.
One of the biggest strengths of Dragon Age is the party system, in which talking to party members, saying things they like to hear, or giving them gifts, will make them like you more, which can unlock special bonuses such as permanent boosts to your current abilities or completely new ones.
Another good thing about it is that choices you make may end up having no impact until much later in the story, which prevents people from, should they make a choice they don’t like, simply reloading from before that choice was made.
Of course, it does have some weaknesses, such as the ridiculous difficulty which permeates even small fights-you will find yourself dying quite often in the beginning portions of the game, as well as the tenuously built and unwieldy crafting systems, which do not feel completely thought out.
Still, Dragon Age is a fun if occasionally lurid game. It has an impressive story and excellent graphics and voicework, which come together to elicit some very real feelings in most players. Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys RPGs-although the length and difficulty might scare some away, it’s still a very fun game.

Health Care By Ashley Oronte
The Health Care Bill was sent and passed. It means that everyone needs to get health care. However, not everybody can afford it. Some people abominate the health care bill because it costs too much money. It covers so many large health care bills it is unwieldy.
Some feel that they need better health care because their job doesn’t have or good health care coverage if they have an injury or an illness.
