What's going to happen in 2013?

I don't think the world is going to end on December 21, 2012 so in 2013, there is going to be a baby boom. I think that technology will continue to advance and there will be newer versions of the iPhone and everyone will have one. Though technology on the rise may be a good thing, I believe that fast food will also be on the rise and people will become more lazy and fat than they already are. People are going to be spending less time working and spending time exercising or being outside and spend more time using technology like watching movies, going on facebook, or using their cell phones.

Christmas shopping gone bad

Many people who were christmas shopping on December 11th wouldn't have thought anything could go wrong, but near Portland, Oregon Kristina Shevchenko, along with two others, were shot in a shopping mall. The shooter also shot himself and Kristina is the only one that lived. Her brother wrote a facebook status about his 15 year old sister the night of the shooting: "As of now she is stable and sleeping....she will need two more operations." The bullet did not hit her ribs but bruised a lung. The shooter didn't know any of the victims but just wanted to shoot people. There have been previous shootings at and near the mall so police were ready to go and got there within 20 minutes of the shootings.

Alzheimer's Cure?

If money can be provided, workers and scientist are coming up with a medicine that could slow or even stop completely Alzheimer's disease. It's a disease that attacks the brain and causes memory loss for short or long periods of time. The medicine will hopefully be ready in three to five years. Next year will begin the studies of trying to put a stop to the disease. Although the process of making vaccines and medicines is very expensive, scientists and lab workers are confident that the medicine can work. By 2050, Alzheimer's disease is antisipating to grow greatly. Right now, 5.4 million people are suffering from Alzheimer's disease and by 2050, it will be up to 16 million.
