Bounce houses becoming dangerous

Injuries from bounce houses have grown 1500% from 1995 to 2010. Bounce houses are very popular for picnics, parties, and more, but the injuries are growing rapidly. On average, 31 children were being brought to hospitals around the United States each day for bounce house related injuries in 2010. More than 1/3 of the children brought in were under the age of five. Safety warnings and cautions are posted on the bounce house websites and on the bounce houses themselves, but that doesn't stop kids from bouncing or parents from letting their kids bounce. Most injuries are arm or leg injuries, but hte younger the kid, the worse the injuries could be. Some are as bad as neck or head injuries.

New Homecoming King

Hakam Daley is a senior at St. Lucie West Centennial High School in Port St. Lucie, Florida. He was nominated to be on homecoming court for his school, but it wasn't something he was expecting to happen. Hakam has cerebral palsy, which caused him to go to many different foster homes. Most people would think a boy with cerebral palsy wouldn't have many friends but that's the exact opposite for Daley. A cheerleader who is a close friend of is, asked many seniors to vote for Daley to be on court and when he won king, he did something that never happened before, he walked in public to get his crown with the help of some people.

Rare whales found on beach

In 2010, a mother and a whale calf were washed up on shore in New Zealand. Scientists didn't think it was anything at the time, but during further DNA testing, dicovered the whales were a very rare species. The spade-toothed beaked whale has never fully been seen by a person until then. There have been skulls of spade-toothed beaked whales found in New Zealand and Chile, but have never been seen alive. They supposadly have similar behavior to other whales and dive deep down for their food, like squid and other fish. Scientists buried them in the sand in 2010 after they collected DNA but after the tests were performed, they were dug back up for further research.
