10 Stories ... 3/24/2009

Well let's try this 10 stories thing again.  I hope that Safari and Google Reader acts nicely together for me to do this.  I added even more RSS feeds that could be pulled up for any story, so that should be good.

1:  We start this evening off with a writer that only writes good stories.  Very good read.  From KTRV-TV Nampa, ID.

2:  Now an update on Lance Armstrong.  Looks like he had a biking accident and he broke his collarbone.  Now he had surgery.  But the recovery looks positive.  Details from KSWO-TV Lawton, OK.

3:  Looks like polls are varied for President Obama.  Zogby had his approval/popularity rating at 49%.  Story from WHAM-TV Rochester, NY.  Personally, I think it's WAY too early for this to happen, poll wise.  Give the man at least a year before you make pointless polls.

4:  An interesting article now from SF Weekly, San Francisco.  They write about wether or not musicians should start twittering for their music fans.  Interesting read.

5:  As you know, Hurricane Ike ravaged Galveston, Texas last summer.  Some areas are still a wasteland.  However, that did not stop this year's college spring breakers.  Businesses there said there was great business.  Story from KFDA-TV Amarillo, TX.

6:  Soon it will be the 20 year anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill up in Alaska.  KTVA-TV in Anchorage, AK looks at that upcoming anniversary and investigate on wether or not it could happen again.

7:  President Obama is scheduled to be the commencement speaker at Notre Dame University on May 17th.  However, there are plenty of Catholics that are not liking this idea.  And now the Bishop of South Bend, is planning on not attending.  Details from CNN.

8:  ABCNews.com takes an interesting look at the projects NASA would like to do in the years to come.  Yes, it is the moon, and beyond.  Great read.

9:  Members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are in Chicago, IL for a visit on how Chicago would handle the Summer Olympic games, if they get it for the year 2016.  Details from Rockford Register Star - Rockford, IL.

And finally ...

10:  Octomom has some of her kids home from the hospital, after she gave birth to 8 children.  She got a new home, on our dollar and now another controversy is developing.  She fired her volunteer nurses after she said that they were 'unprofessional'. Story from KPIX-TV San Francisco.  Now, tell me this ... is that really unprofessional?  Or is it unprofessional to have 8 kids, and then before that 6?  Seriously.
