Our story starts on May 25, 2010, and takes place in sports stadiums all over the world. This story is about faith in many different sports, because nowadays, most athletes are starting to pray to G-d whenever the finish their games and win or lose. One such man who does this is Rich Franklin, a mixed martial arts fighter who is Christian who has Psalm 144:1 on his fighting gear and website. Whenever he wins like the night he beat opponent Travis Lutter. Many people wonder if it was Franklin
s movements that made him win, or if G-d was there to help him beat up his opponent. Franklin says that there have been times when he feels weak and thinks that he is going to lose, but then at the last moment, he comes through and wins the match. Some sports fans say that assuming G-d is a sports fan trivializes your faith. Another great athlete was Michael Chang who was the youngest person ever to win the French Open in 1989.
Our comment on this article is that when athletes praise G-d, they're doing the right thing, but they shouldn't credit their win with G-d, because it's as if they are giving their faith of to their fans in a bad way. We also think that if you win or lose a sporting competition G-d will still and always be with you.

Scientistis Discover Frog With Inflanting Nose
By Matthew Knight for CNN
May 17, 2010 -- Updated 1618 GMT (0018 HKT)
Our story starts on may 17th, 2010. Scientists have found a lot of new species of animals, a Pinocchio-like frog from an Indonesian rain forest found in Southeast Asia. The male tree frog has a pointed nose that inflates when calling to other members of it's species. This frog was one of the dozens of the new species found on an expedition to the Foja Mountains of the Papua province of Indonesia in New Guinea Island. Some of the animals that were discovered were a blossom bat, a black and white butterfly, the world's smallest wallaby, new imperial pigeons, a giant woolly rat, and a gecko with yellow eyes. According to officials, the Foja Mountains probably hold the highest number of species that haven't been found yet. During the expedition, biologists tracked down the new species from Kwerba, a village at the base of the Foja Mountaisn to it's peak at 7,200 feet high. The United Nations stated that even though thousands of animals and plants are being wiped out at an alarming rate, the discovery of new species levels out the number of plants and animals on this Earth.
Our opinion on the matter is that finding new species of animals everyday is very promising for the whole world, because when you find new animals that means that we will not be alone in the future years of our life,and all of our descendant's lives.

Fate or Fluke? Air Crash Sole Survivors
By Barry Neild, CNN
May 13, 2010 -- Updated 1429 GMT (2229 HKT)
Our story starts in the month of May. It is the 11 of May to be exact. Our story takes place in Libya. Air plane crashes are very common all around the world. But, to survive one, is that common at all? No, it is not. Even though it is very uncommon for people to survive air plane crashes, there have been some survivors. The number of survivors is only in the tens, not even reaching the hundreds. For some, when you survive an air plane crash it was either a miracle or a scientific detail. I believe that surviving an air plane crash would be classified as a miracle, because when you survive, it can only be a miracle. The most recent air plane crash survivor was a Dutch boy named Ruben van Assouw. The only injuries he suffered were some broken bones. The air plane he escaped was an Afriqiyah Airways Airbus A330-200 which crashed on Tuesday at Tripoli International Airport which resulted in the death of 92 passengers and a crew of 11. Some survivors have been Bahia Bakari, in June 30, 2009, Francesca Lewis, in December 24, 2007, Erika Delgado, in January 11, 1995, and Cecelia Cichan in August 16, 1987, and a few more.
Our opinion on the matter is that when you survive an air plane crash, you could only have possibly been saved by G-d. We think that if you survive an air plane crash more than one time, it could only have been because of divine help. So, there indeed are some things that can only be proved with air plane crashes that show that G-d is above us, and will help us in times of need when it isn't our time yet.

Haiti's Latest Hardship: Relentless Rain
Post by: CNN's Moni Basu

Our story start on May 4, 2010, in Haiti. The central plaza in Port-au-Prince is now home to over a thousand displaced Haitians. Yesterday, water was pouring all through day and night. At the Champs de Mars,people tried to close all possible entrances from the rain, but to no avail. The only good thing from the rain was that sun-scorched children could finally escape the heat with the rain. Aid workers say that the never-stopping rain could overflow garbage canals, which would help the smell at all. Many Haitians are used to the rain. It comes in May, and then the rain starts to come for a several months. There also is a risk of a hurricane coming into the land devastated by the earthquake in January. Officials estimated that 2 million Haitians lost their homes can more than 1,300 are living in makeshift camps. For many, a tent is a good place to be in an earthquake but not in a hurricane or the heavy rain. There are almost 50,000 peoples are camped on the nine-hole Petionville Golf Club, but when it rains, it turns into a huge mud slide. The major worry for now is that the unsanitary conditions could cause malaria, cholera and dengue fever outbreaks all throughout the camps. Now, more than 2 million people are sleeping in tents.
Our opinion is that this piece of news is very shocking, because it can show us how much pain the Haitians are going through. We also believe that this could be helped more if more people were to go to Haiti to help Haitians go through all these problems. We think that all the countries in the world help Haiti, then it will be done in no time. So, don't forget, help another, to help yourself.

Solar Power Airplane Really Works
April 19, 2010 -- Updated 1246 GMT (2046 HKT
NO AUTHOR
It’s April 9 2010, the new sun-powered Solar Impulse HB-SIA air plane just took off a runway in Paverne, Switzerland, on its first flight, or maiden voyage. Over the next 87 minutes, it went up to 1,200 meters, which really is very high up in the sky. This is a very green invention that will be powerful and helpful, for our future, no contamination at all. The aircraft is capable of achieving night flight, by using energy stored during the day. The airplane was tested to make sure that it would work, so that nothing wrong would come from it during flight; a smooth first flight because of maintenance. CNN spoke with the Solar Impulse Chairman and initiator, Bertrand Piccard. At first indication, the aircraft went even higher than was expected. According to Mr. Piccard, this technology can forever change solar energy as we know it. So, what we can take from this, is that solar energy will always be able to help us achieve what we want in a natural and clean way.
Our comment over the matter is that, this notion of starting with solar energy is a big leap for man kind. We know this, because solar energy has no pollution emissions , so we now know that solar energy is good for all of us. We can’t forget to use it!
