In the Super Bowl of advertising, Justin Bieber replaced Ozzy Osbourne and Joan Rivers became a Go Daddy girl. A two-minute ad for Chrysler starring Eminem and a Volkswagen ad featuring a mini-Darth Vader that went viral before it even aired were two of the most talked-about spots during advertising's big night, the Super Bowl, in which Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-25. at $3 million for 30 seconds, Chrysler was one of nine automakers that took advantage of advertising's biggest and most expensive showcase to try to show they're back after two tough years for the industry. The cinematic third-quarter Chrysler ad starred Eminem driving through Detroit and introduced a new car, the Chrysler 200 sedan, amid scenes of the city that shift from the gritty to the glamorous. A voiceover talks about how the city has survived going through "hell and back.“"It was a very risky commercial, but it scored very well with our panel" that rates the ads, said Tim Calkins. I think that yes the commercials were very entertaining and very “attention calling” but they were very, very expensive. For example the 30 second commercial Chrysler did for 3 million.

Today I read about Houston’s police who were caught on tape beating a fifteen year old boy. Houston’s mayor and police department were on the defensive Friday, two days after graphic video came out showing several police repeatedly kicking and beating a 15 year old boy burglary suspect as he lay in the ground. An internal police investigation of the incident last March led to the firing of seven police officers, said spokesman John Cannon of the Houston’s police department. Two successfully appealed and returned to their jobs. Five other officers were disciplined in other ways says Cannon. Mayor Annise Parker says the police leadership and city acted properly.

Some 400 fans with tickets to the big game were denied seats at the Super Bowl Sunday because certain stadium sections weren't ready, the NFL said. Seats were not completely installed in six sections, affecting about 1,250 fans. Roughly 850 of those people were relocated to "similar or better seats," but 400 were left out, the NFL said. "It's not the money. It's the whole issue. We came here for the memories and it's not happening," said Wayne Rusch, a Green Bay Packers fan, who spoke to CNN while waiting to hear if he would have a seat. His daughter, Anna Rusch, said she flew from Washington, D.C., for the game. "I love the Packers and right now I can't see anything," she said, clearly exasperated. Fans denied seats are expected to get a refund of triple the cost of the face value -- $800 -- of their ticket. They were also allowed in the stadium to watch the game on monitors or from standing platforms in each corner of the stadium, the NFL said. But whether that was enough to satisfy upset fans remains to be seen. "It was terribly mismanaged and we're just beside ourselves. I don't know how this is going to come out," said an unnamed Pittsburgh Steelers fan between tears. "I can't see a positive outcome.“ The NFL promised to look into the incident. "We regret the situation and inconvenience that it may have caused. We will conduct a full review of this matter," it said in a statement. "The safety of fans attending the Super Bowl was paramount in making the decision.“ Sunday's game between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers, Super Bowl XLV, kicked off around 6:30 p.m ET

The Super Bowl was a good one, and it was predicted that it would be one of the best. I don’t think it was the best but it was a competitive game, that pleased the crowd in cowboys stadium. They said This might be the last game for a while because their might be NFL lockout. They say 111Million people watched the Super Bowl this year. If you didn’t watch the game the Packer won 31-25.

Air Force Maj. Chad Bushman vividly remembers the worst day of his life, the sound of handcuffs gripping his wrists as six military officers took him away and told him he faced criminal charges for abusing his wife. "It's shameful. There's no honor in it." Bushman said. "I'm very ashamed of how I had gotten." What Bushman didn't know at that moment was that a military psychologist would soon determine that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, and, he says, it led to years of abusing his wife. The diagnosis may have come too late, and the decorated pilot's military career could soon come to a disgraceful end. But Bushman says that he deserves a second chance and that the Air Force has let him down. "I think they're trying to wash their hands of me," Bushman said. "Instead of looking at the whole picture of 'how did he get this way, and what could we have done to make him better or help him?' " The secretary of the Air Force will ultimately decide whether Bushman can continue his career as a military pilot. This week, the case goes before a board of inquiry at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama. How Bushman's career reached this point is a sad and often disturbing tale that raises questions about whether the military missed PTSD warning signs along the way. In the years after September 11, Bushman piloted C-130 aircraft into the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. Bushman says the missions were the most stressful days he'd ever had. "I can remember seeing a missile streak come past the front of the aircraft. That was the most terrifying experience of my life," Bushman said. In Bushman's mind, however, pilots didn't suffer from PTSD. That was for ground troops who got shot at. But at home, Bushman says, he couldn't handle being around crowds, and his temper erupted more often. "I didn't think there was a problem. I could justify everything," Bushman said. "I was like, 'this is who I am. Deal with it.' " After Bushman returned home from multiple deployments in 2004, his attorney says, the military made a critical mistake. Each servicemember who returns from war is required to fill out a Post Deployment Health Reassessment Survey. Among other things, it can help military psychologists figure out whether he or she is showing any symptoms of PTSD. Bushman says he wasn't given the survey until January 2008, four years after returning from war duty and less than a year before his wife called police after another brutal day of abuse. A military attorney familiar with the major's case says the Air Force doesn't dispute Bushman's claim. The attorney says that as soon as the Air Force discovered that the survey wasn't completed, it corrected the problem. But Bushman's attorney says the survey holds the first clues that the pilot was battling PTSD. In the survey, Bushman admits having nightmares and feeling numb and detached from others. Dr. Heather Klempp, a psychologist at the U.S. Army Health Clinic in Presidio of Monterey, California, described Bushman as having PTSD, showing signs of "recurrent intrusive ideation of traumatic experiences ... frequent anger and irritability ... severe anxiety." His relationship with his wife also began to deteriorate.

Today I read about Navy Sailors being discharged for smoking or having spice in there possession. The Navy reports in just the last four months 151 sailors have been accused of using or possessing the drug. The Drug also known as synthetic Marijuana is legal in the U.S. but the Defense Department and the Navy in particular have banned it. The DEA is currently in the process of placing an emergency ban on spice and other synthetic drugs.

Today I read about how bullying situations are getting worse. Also how kids who think there popular from school are the ones doing the bullying. Now there's research suggesting that aggression increases with peer status, meaning popular kids are the ones who are tormenting others. But here's the twist, those who are most popular, at the top of the social hierarchy, are the least aggressive. The study, appearing in the journal American Sociological Review, also found that kids who are the least popular are also among the least likely to torment others. It appears that it didn't matter what kind of aggression was involved the popular but not most popular kids are more likely to be perpetrators, and it gets worse as you climb the social ladder until you hit the highest rung.

ASHLEY CARACOZA-- MONDAY-- Today I read about a 15-year-old boy that is under arrest Wednesday for allegedly stabbing his father after the older man intervened in a fight the teen was having with his twin brother over who would sit in a particular chair and watch television in Tierra Santa, police said. The stabbing in the 10000 block of Truett Lane was reported at 4:37 p.m. Tuesday, according to San Diego police Officer Dino Delimitros. The father was stabbed three times in one of his sides but none of the wounds was life-threatening, Delimitros said. The boy also sustained a cut to one of his sides during the fight, but it was not considered serious, according to the officer, who said that the boy was brought to Rady Children's Hospital for treatment before being taken to Juvenile Hall.

This fight to me seems so stupid. It makes no sense to me. I know that teenagers fight over stupid things but a chair and who's going to sit in it. To the point of stabbing his own brother that’s ridiculous.

Today's current event was about A foreign born high school basketball player who was declared ineligible is going to court Wednesday arguing that he and his top ranked Miami team should be permitted to compete in the playoffs later this week. The Florida High School Athletic Association board on Tuesday ruled that senior guard Brian Delany. FHSAA spokesman Seth Polanski said that krop reported that it had not provided the proper paperwork on Delany's eligibility. Federal law prohibits school districts from asking about a student's immigration status. The FHSAA does require information on players' eligibility and residency. Three of the team's players are seeking a temporary injunction Wednesday afternoon in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, according to Baron.

A humpback whale with an apparently broken back has been spotted in waters near Hawaii, a newspaper reports. Gerry Charlebois, who takes student pilot/tourists for coastal excursions in ultralight aircraft, spotted the injured whale from the air Monday in shallow water near Kauai. "He wasn't moving his fluke and was just staying near the surface and sort of limping down the coast," he said. "It's kind of sad to see a full adult whale in that condition. ... It's definitely something he's not recovering from.“ "This is one of the most disturbing sights I've ever experienced while photographing whales," Charlebois, the owner of birds in Paradise Flight School, told The Garden Island Newspaper. "It was freaky. The whale was bent in half. Obviously some kind of blunt force trauma on the side. The poor guy was in trouble.“ A large boat or ship must have struck the whale, which hasn't been seen since Monday, he said. Humpbacks normally are pretty agile, so this one may have been old or sick an unable to move out of a ship's way, he said. Birds in Paradise manager Kirk Johnson said Charlebois and others on the flight first thought they'd seen an albino whale, but when they came around to take another look, they could see that it was discolored instead. Ed Lyman of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary on Maui told the paper the whale appeared to be in poor health - emaciated, shedding skin and surrounded by parasites - and there is no established method for euthanizing a large whale. These big whales tend to die slowly, Charlebois said. When they do, they sink to the bottom until decomposition gases make them float to the surface, where they attract large numbers of hungry sharks, he said. "It's amazing to see these 15-foot sharks all feeding on a whale," Charlebois said. "You don't want to be snorkeling around there. You don't want to be in that neighborhood.“ Charlebois said he and his three other pilots would look for signs of the injured whale again today. About 2,000 humpback whales live in the waters off Alaska, and many of them migrate to Hawaii's warm waters between November and May, according to Earthtrust.org. Whale watching is a major part of Hawaii's tourism industry. Adult humpbacks range in size from 35 to 48 feet, and weigh about 1 ton per foot.

Today I read about how getting little sleep can increase the risk of heart attacks. Researchers found if you sleep less than six hours, or have disturbed sleep you have a 48% chance of developing or dying from heart disease, and a 15% chance of having or dying of a stroke. "There is an expectation in today's society to fit more into our lives. The whole work/life balance struggle is causing too many of us to trade in precious sleeping time to ensure we complete all the jobs we believe are expected of us," said Professor Francesco Cappuccio of the University of Warwick Medical School in the United Kingdom and a lead author of the study. But getting too much sleep can also have negative implications. Cappucio says sleeping more than nine  hours could be an indication of illness–including cardiovascular disease.

Wednesday-In today’s reading I read about a young man who was tasered by police and fell off his roof. The boy who was 16 had a warrant for breaking a house arrest agreement. He ran from police after his mother allowed the police to enter their Baltimore home. The boy was rushed to a nearby hospital with serious injuries to the back and head. Internal affairs is currently investigating to see if the detective was justifeid in pulling his taser. I believe that the officers shouldn’t have pulled their tasers being that this victim was a minor. Most likely our justice system will take the side of the “on-duty officers”. So my final thoughts are the young man should not have ran, but the officers had no right to strike him with the tasers.

Today I read about Internet use in America By certain ethnicities. The study shows Hispanics are less likely than whites to access the internet, have a home broadband connection or own a cell phone. Latinos also lag behind African-Americans in home broadband access but have similar rates of internet and cell phone use, the study found. The difference in internet use between Hispanics and whites is driven in part by the fact that Hispanics tend to have less education and lower incomes than whites.

Today I read about how a doctor killed a women and her seven babies during illegal abortion. Attorneys for Dr. Kermit Barron Gosnell and his employees had requested an additional hearing, which Judge Renee Cardwell Hughes rejected Wednesday, setting an arraignment for March 2. He is expected to enter a formal plea then. Williams provided a grisly scenario of the shuttered abortion clinic: A search of the office last year by authorities turned up bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses scattered throughout the building. Jars containing the severed feet of babies lined a shelf. Furniture and equipment was blood-stained, dusty and broken.

This will cause the earth to have 24 hours of light. The earth would have only sun light for a couple of weeks and the over coming months it would begin to fade.

Every year, Americans drink 50 billion gallons of soda and many choose diet soda for one reason or another. "There's less calories in diet soda than in regular soda," said local soda drinker Donald Osborne. "Save the calories for something good," she said. When asked if diet soda was his favorite drink of choice, Brent Consedine responded, "Other than beer, yeah." But after 10News shared the results of a nine-year study by the University of Miami School of Medicine that links daily soda consumption to heart attack or stroke, some diet soda drinkers became concerned. When asked if he was alarmed by the study, Osborne said, "Yes, absolutely." Some, however, didn't even flinch. "Would it make you think twice about drinking diet soda?" asked 10News reporter Preston Phillips.

So, the Packers won the Super Bowl, but fans of mixed martial arts can't stop talking about how Anderson Silva took down Vitor Belfort in an Ultimate Fighting Championship title match with a single kick. The Brazilian fighters started off relatively lightly, circling each other for the first minute of Saturday night's bout. Belfort briefly took Silva down, but the UFC middleweight champion bounced right back up. Suddenly, Silva threw a left front kick to the jaw that knocked Belfort to the mat, and then threw a couple of punches that seemed almost unnecessary to end the match against the dazed fighter. The highly anticipated fight lasted less than 3½ minutes. Belfort, saying he is "doing great," spoke with CNN after attending his 6-year-old son's birthday party in Las Vegas, Nevada, and talked about the blow he described as "one kick in a million.“ "Your brain kind of slows down," he said. "The kick landed pretty hard, but this type of kick, it's more like a pushing kick right under my chin, it took me right out of my balance," he said. Fighting experts say it's uncommon for a front kick to have so much impact. After the fight, Silva credited action-movie actor Steven Seagal with helping him perfect the move. Belfort says he never lost consciousness, but "for a split second, I was a little bit out," and the fight was stopped because he couldn't defend himself once on the ground. Unlike boxing, where participants are given to the count of 10 to recover, UFC matches are ended on a "technical knockout" as soon as a fighter cannot defend himself. Repeated blows to the head may cause severe brain injury, especially over time. Once a player has been hit once as Belfort was, additional trauma soon after could have had a worse impact, resulting in loss of consciousness. And even though Belfort felt ready for revenge seconds after Silva was declared the winner -- "I even told them, 'Why do you stop the fight?'" -- he said he respects that UFC rules are designed to protect him from serious damage. "You already have like a bruise on your brain," the fighter said. Former football players, fighters and boxers alike report cognitive deficits such as Alzheimer's symptoms that may have resulted from such brain damage suffered over and over during long careers. A new vision test may be able to detect whether a concussion has occurred. Knockouts happen because the brain isn't completely glued to the skull; it has room for movement. A kick or punch to the jaw can displace it, said Dr. Osric King, sports medicine physician at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, and Medical Advisor for the New York State Athletic Commission. For the most part, the brain is secured by blood vessels and nerves that are integrated between the skull and different layers of tissue, he said. When the jaw is kicked with enough force, the brain and nerves reach a critical point where they can't sustain consciousness. As the blood vessels get stretched out, they're not able to sustain the continued blood supply the brain may need, and the person may black out immediately.

Today I read about how mix martial arts fighter Vitor Belfort was knocked out unconscious. Belfort suffered a minor concussion. This was due to the fact he was kicked in the jaw with such a hard impact. Concussions occur when the brain clashes with the skull. It is basically a bruise in the brain.

Tens of thousands of emotional Egyptians exploded in deafening cheers on the streets of Cairo, electric with excitement.

In a somber one-minute announcement on state television, Vice President Omar Suleiman said Mubarak had resigned and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces will "run the affairs of the country.“Tens of thousands of emotional Egyptians exploded in deafening cheers on the streets of Cairo, electric with excitement. It was a moment they had anticipated throughout long days of relentless demonstrations sometimes violent that demanded Mubarak's departure.

In today’s reading I read about how Egypt will never be the same. Now that Hosni Mubarak is getting accustomed to life as an ex-dictator, Barack Obama and his foreign-policy aides have a new task. Washington has publicly called for an Egyptian transition to democracy, which Egypt has never known. To avoid a continuation of dictatorial rule under a new strongman — or a dangerous power vacuum as weaker players try to seize control — Egypt will need to see the lightning-fast development of long-suppressed political parties. So the U.S. is preparing a new package of assistance to Egyptian opposition groups, designed to help with constitutional reform, democratic development and election organizing, State Department officials tell TIME. The package is still being formulated, and the officials decline to say how much it would be worth or to which groups it would be directed. White House officials declined to say whether any of the new money would be directed to the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's most prominent Islamist party.

The first days of the protests in Egypt were torture for Hala Elnaggar. "I waited two days and I finally heard my mom's voice," says Elnaggar, who lives just outside of Philadelphia with her husband, Ahmed. "And of course when I heard her voice I started crying, and screaming 'come home.'" Her parents, Nafissa and Farouk Osman, live half the year in New Jersey, and the other half in Cairo, just 20 minutes from Tahrir Square, the epicenter of recent protests. After days of not hearing from her parents, her worry turned to frustration. Random families answered her repeated phone calls because the telephones were getting crossed, she says. "I kept calling and calling," says Elnaggar, the youngest of three children, and the only one of her siblings to be born in the United States. "I had to purchase a calling card and that was the only way I could get through." Elnaggar's parents immigrated to the United States with only $45 to their name more than 30 years ago. They were in Cairo when the protests broke out, and have decided to remain in Cairo. "She doesn't want to come home," Elnaggar says, referring to a recent phone conversation she had with her mother. " 'We need peaceful democracy Hala,' that's all she kept saying. 'It's a revolution and we want peaceful democracy. And I'm going to stay until its finished.' " People across Egypt took to the streets on January 25 in demonstrations against corruption and failing economic policies partly inspired by similar January rallies that erupted in Tunisia. Since the protests began, President Hosni Mubarak -- in power since 1981 -- has appointed a vice president for the first time, reshuffled his Cabinet and announced that he won't seek a new term in September. Her concern increased after Mubarak's speech on Thursday, which many expected him to announce he was stepping down. Instead he said he was transferring some powers to the vice president. His decision to stay in office has further enraged protesters. "My mom said that now it's getting really bad, and she hasn't complained this entire time," Hala said. Hala says she doesn't expect the protests to end any time soon.
