A new surgery allows breast cancer patients to use their fat for breasts.
My question is do you think it is right for the doctors to use their fat to make new breasts?

Bobby Pins!! :)

Bobby Pins
Bobby pins are a great way to keep your hair out of your face. Have you ever had one of those days when the wind is blowing just the right way and it feels like every single strand of hair is getting in your face? Well, I have a solution for you! My invention is the bobby pin!
The bobby pin will be manufactured with a simple process; a straight, thin piece of metal will be heated and then half of it will be pressed so it has ridges. After this, it will be folded in half and cooled. This process will most likely get boring for the workers over a long period of time; and when the workers get bored, they get grumpy. This is not good for my business because if the workers are having conflicts then they are not working as hard and efficient as they could be. My solution for this is having different work shifts at different stations, and not one worker will work with the same exact people more than once. This plan will work because the workers will not have to do the same task every day and they will not have to work with the same people every day.
I would use vertical integration. After the bobby pins are made, they will be shipped by truck to various stores and sold. I think my product will sell because it is inexpensive and simple. You can buy a pack of twenty bobby pins for less than fifty cents. Girls get tired of having their hair all over the place and I believe that they would buy this product because of that. I believe that three of every five girls will buy bobby pins. When they run out or lose them, then they will buy more. The girls will tell their friends about them, and then their friends will buy them too. The bobby pin is a very good product! Do not miss your chance on investing in this product!

Computers, Computers, Computers.. we got em.

Well, we got our computers last night. yay. woo. so exciting. super awesome. amazing. wonderful. fantastic. adrenaline rush. blood pumping fun. It really excites me that I have technology in my hands right now. I believe that the laptops were a really good idea, and will help us learn in a new, different way. There are some things that I don't like about the computers though, for example I don't like that we can't get on Facebook at home. I understand that we can't get on Facebook at school, but when we are at home we should be able to if our parents agree. It is SUPER DUPER UBERLY DUMB that we cannot get on Facebook at home. END OF STORY.

Oh and a big huge ole thank you to the School Board.
