Arkansas Healthcare's Time for a Change!

         Our Arkansas governor, Mike Beebe is wanting to change our healthcare so that less-fortunate, lower class people can still live the life that they want to without stressing about Medicaid, & how their going to pay their insurance. In the article 'Arkansas gov. changes course on health care' According to Mike Beebe he says that he's going to pass a law saying "If an adult that is an individual without children makes $15,400 will qualify for Medicaid, or a family's yearly income is $30,650 they will also qualify."
       We all know that Arkansas is a poor state, we just don't want to admit it. I agree with Governor Mike Beebe because I believe in helping those less-fortunate than me, I want to help out anyway I can. With him passing this law, think of everyone who will be stress-free? Think of those that will KNOW they will be seen by a Doctor, or whatever the case may be & wont go in Debt for it. We all know medical bills are VERY expensive. Those upper-class people, or "rich" people need to stop being so selfish & help those below them every way they can. Were ALL humans, we should ALL help each other if possible. I agree with EVERYTHING Gov. Mike Beebe is trying to do, I can relate this to myself, the whole world, everyone. I'm sure that if this law got passed, several people in Arkansas would do a WHOLE lot better financially. The author of this article proves his point, and gets his idea out. I think everyone would agree with this law except for those one people who don't like to give our their money. They want to be stingy, and selfish.

Copyright War Apple VS Samsung

In present day, we all know that copyright of any kind is against the law. If it is done with permission from the owner then it is NOT illegal. In the article 'Apple patent win spells changes' According to Apple, the producer of Iphones, Ipods, Ipads, and many more high-tech devices is sewing Samsung. Samsung is also another producer of high-tech phones & tablets. Samsung apparently is stealing Apples ideas, for an example, on a Iphone you can zoom in on a picture by tapping the screen. Well, Samsung has done the same thing. Apples considering this 'copying'. Which is illegal because it was Apples idea, not Samsung's. Apple is going to be rewarded $1.05billion after finding out Samsung violated six patents, Apple says "it will make rivals think twice about smartphones and tablets that too closely resemble our products." If Samsung smart phones are banned, the company will be forced to change features such as the pinch and zoom technology, which Apple claims to be theirs. The author's main idea for this article is to let us know that there are ALOT of different copyright laws & you can get in serious trouble if you do copyright.

The Rebuilding Of The WTC

For the concrete that was used to build the World Trade Center, it would take 6 times as much as it was used to build the EIffel Tower. State-Of-The-Art concrete was used in 1 World Trade Center can withstand almost three times more pressure than the concrete used in most other NYC skyscrappers. So, the concrete that they used to build, well re-build the WTC, the concrete must have been thicker or something in that area, maybe tougher because it says that it was 6 times as much used to build the Eiffel Tower. Also the concrete can withstand almost three times more pressure than the concrete used in other NYC skyscrappers, meaning the new WTC is probably built in a better & stronger condition. Therefor, it wil be a better building, and last longer. They have prepared the building for something that may happen again in the future.
