Missiles Fired At Russian Plane

On monday morning unidentified forces launched two ground to air missiles near a Russian civilian airplane over Syria. The missiles did not hit the plan but exploded very close to the plane. No one was harmed in the explosion because the pilots maneuvered their way around the missiles. It was said that they detected battle action that could have caused harm to the 159 passengers on board. On Tuesday a source was informed of the plan was flying at 9800 meters when it was attacked. The first missile exploded at 9200 and the second at 8900, and immediately after the incident the plane was given permission to fly almost 1000 meters higher. Russian experts believe that there are no reasons to claim that the aircraft was a target. But other experts are suspicious of the maneuvering the pilots claimed to have done. Plans are usually attacked from the side or from above, that way a pilot could not see an attack. The plane couldn't have seen what was behind it, and the missile was moving at twice as fast the plane, making it impossible to have a reaction to do anything. It is suspected that this attack came from rebel forces.

Family Shot

On Wednesday around 4:30 Rick Smith gunned down a home. He shot and killed a 65 year old grandmother, 3 boys between the ages of 5 and 1, and a couple around the ages of 25. Rick went on a rampage throughout this home leaving only one survivor, a 6 year old girl. She was in critical condition when he carried the girl over to the neighbors home. He left her there and took off, only to be caught hours later. Rick was caught up with  around 7:30 and began to shoot at police. He was then shot and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital around 10:10.  Police were unable to explain the possible motive Rick had to gun down this small home in Manchester. The police were completely puzzled when they had learned that he had carried the injured girl to the neighbors home; he had killed her whole family. Of course no one could completely explain the incident. A family member of Rick's said that he was going through a rough divorce and custody battle with his 4 year old child. The 6 year old survivor is recovering and will be put into a home of another family member.

Fun in the Sun, or Fake Sun.

Tanning bedMelanoma tumors develop in skin cells that make the brown pigment that protect skin from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. Melanoma is the least common type of skin cancer but is the most dangerous. The National Cancer Institute estimates that over 76,000 people will be diagnosed with melanoma this year and 9,480 people will die from it. The largest risk factor of melanoma is exposure to UV rays either from sunlight or artificial sources such as tanning beds. 15.45 of former melanoma patients said they hardly, if ever sat in the shade and 2.1% had been to a tanning salon in the last year and several patients admitted to not sueing any sunscreen or other forms of protection. You would think that people who had melanoma would be more careful about using sunscreen or avoiding tanning salons.

The Dream That Brought Justice

Yesterday morning a couple was taken into custody for shooting their daughter. The tragic incident happened in the couple's back yard and the couple said that "She was no longer useful to us." The young girl was reportedly to have broken her hand at a softball practice earlier in the week. This meant that should no longer help with the family chores. Her coach had begin to grow suspicious of her disappearance, and one night had a dream of the young girl being shot in the families back yard. The coach said the dream felt so real that he had to call the police. The coach told them that he felt very confident in his psychic dream that they should go to the house and check it out. Fortunately, the police were not busy and decided to follow the lead. When they searched the area they found the couple trying to bury the girl and the evidence. The parents were taken into custody and the softball coach serves to be a hero. His story had gotten out into the world and now is starting a new talk show. On the show he sleeps for the first hour and when he wakes he shares his compelling dreams with the world.
