Newspaper Log- Tuesday May 4th

Today, I decided to read up on the oil spill. We talked about it in conservation issues this morning so I read two articles in the NYtimes today about the spill. BP is furiously trying to fix the leak, and hopefully they can because it could potentially become a bigger oil spill than Exxon Valdez. With all of the other environmental and even non-environmental issues going on in the world right now, we don't need this to add to it.

The other article I read today was about the lacrosse player who went to the University of Virginia who supposedly killed another female lacrosse player. It's so sad to see two people who are going places in their lives, and were really good at lacrosse to end up like this. The female was killed, and the male will be in jail for life. It is also hard to believe that a man my age can have the heart to kill his ex-girlfriend. I hope he receives proper punishment.
