        <![CDATA[<p>Usain Bolt keeps his title of the fastest man as he sprinted to win an Olympic gold in the men's 100-meter race on Sunday with a record time of 9.63.</p>

<p>Bolt is first sprinter since Carl Lewis to defend an Olympic 100-meter race title, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/05/sport/olympic-day-wrap/index.html?hpt=hp_t2">CNN</a> said.</p>

<p>Bolt's season this year included defeats and injuries which had some worried about his performance at the Olympics, but he arrived to compete and ran the second-fastest time ever, which was even 0.05 seconds slower than his own record time of 9.58 seconds, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/18907995">BBC News</a> said. </p>

<p>Despite his slow start from the blocks, Bolt finished first capturing the gold. Yohan Blake, countryman and training partner of Bolt won the silver and American Justin Gatlin won bronze, BBC News said. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>A gunmen entered a Sikh Temple in Oak Creek Wis. on Sunday killing six people worshipping inside, and then was shot and killed by an officer responding to the scene. Authorities are treating the tragedy as a domestic terrorist attack.  </p>

<p>A nearby city, Cudahy, has also been evacuated by law enforcement officers who are investigating a duplex.  It is uncertain if there is a connection between the house and the shooting that took place at the Sikh Temple, the<a href="http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/reports-of-people-shot-at-sikh-temple-in-oak-creek-qc6cgc0-165059506.html"> Journal Sentinel</a> said.</p>

<p>Authorities began receiving 911 calls around 11:25 a.m. from people inside of the temple during the shooting.  The first officer who responded to the scene was ambushed by the gunman and was severely injured.  Another officer and the gunman exchanged shots which left the gunman killed, <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/08/05/158163953/breaking-news-shots-fired-at-sikh-temple-in-wisconsin">NPR</a> reported.</p>

<p>Four people were found dead inside of the temple and three, including the gunman, were found outside.  Four people were injured, including the officer who was ambushed, and were taken to hospitals, the Journal Sentinel said.</p>

<p>This is the second mass shooting in two weeks, the first being the shooting at a theater in Aurora Colo. that killed 12 people and injured 58, NPR said.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Zambian miners killed one of their Chinese managers and severely injured another by pushing a mine trolley at them during a pay riot at a mine on Sunday.</p>

<p>The miners were on strike against management delaying to begin a new minimum wage and keeping the workers' pay lower than other chinese managed mines, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-19135435">BBC</a> said.</p>

<p>Zambia increased minimum wage in July to $350 a month for shop workers, but the mine's chinese owners have not yet implemented the increase, BBC said.</p>

<p>China has increased investment within Africa for its abundance of raw material like copper, which Zambia is rich in supply, but Chinese companies have been criticized for migrating their poor worker's rights to Africa, <a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/08/05/zambia-mines-idINL6E8J511T20120805">Reuters</a> said.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>At least 14 fires burned across Oklahoma on Saturday, destroying around five dozen infrastructures and forcing people to flee their homes as the temperature outside remained above 100 degrees.</p>

<p>The fires were started in Luther but quickly began appearing in neighboring counties including Creek County in northeastern Oklahoma and Payne County just 35 miles west of Creek County, <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-08-04/Oklahoma-wildfires/56767932/1">USA Today </a>reported.</p>

<p>Keli Cain a spokeswoman of Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management said no serious injuries had been reported and that families are being evacuated from the counties near the approaching fires, USA Today said.</p>

<p>Another spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Management, Jerry Lojka, said that six helicopters were deployed to fight the fires but that they were unable to respond to all the fires, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/04/us/oklahoma-wildfires/index.html?hpt=hp_t2">CNN </a>reported. </p>

<p>Firefighters were still exhausted from Friday's fires, but fought to protect people and their homes on Saturday despite the intense heat that sent a few firefighters to a hospital and left many with heat exhaustive symptoms, CNN said.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>A 52-year-old man was killed after his rental-truck struck a support beam which collapsed and crushed the vehicle in the West parking lot of the Mall of America on Friday night.</p>

<p>Two passengers in the vehicle were injured and taken to hospitals, but their condition has not yet been released, <a href="http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2012/08/03/news/mall-of-america-parking-ramp-collapse/">Minnesota Public Radio </a>said.</p>

<p>The vehicle was driving up the West parking lot's access ramp when it struck the steel-and-concrete support beam above the vehicle, which then fell on top of the cab of the vehicle, crushing the driver inside, the<a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/west/164967706.html"> Star Tribune</a> said.</p>

<p>Bloomington Deputy Police Chief Rick Hart said that the incident was most likely an accident.  The U-haul truck was too large for the particular ramp and Hart said that the driver may not have noticed the hanging device that would have tapped the vehicle upon entry to let the driver know it was too big, the Star Tribune said.</p>

<p>The driver and passengers were attempting to go to the mall, but according to Hart they simply "Misjudged the height of the van and the access allowed by the ramp," Minnesota Public Radio said.</p>

<p>The mall remained open as crews examined and cleaned the scene, but the west parking garage entrance will stay closed until the structure surrounding the accident has been fully repaired and examined, the Star Tribune said.</p>]]>

<p>Typical symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, rash, red eyes, and hemorrhaging, which was the symptom not seen in this Ebola outbreak,<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/29/world/africa/uganda-ebola-virus/index.html?hpt=hp_t3"> CNN </a>said.</p>

<p>An isolation center was made in Kibaale's hospital where it is trying to contain the outbreak, CNN said.  20 people have been infected, 14 of which have died.</p>

<p>One of the doctors who was treating the infected patients is one of the 14 dead, CNN said.</p>

<p>Ebola is contracted through direct contact with bodily fluids, is highly infectious, and there is no vaccine for the virus, BBC News said.</p>]]>

<p>The  110-kilometer (70-mile) pipeline was to be for a local paper-making company, and according to demonstrators would eventually release 150,000 tons of sewage into the ocean every dear, CNN said.</p>

<p>In the last few months more protests against pollution have occurred through out China, and according to BBC News the demonstrations are becoming more outspoken, better organized, and more effective.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney is scheduled to deliver a foreign policy plan late Sunday where he is expected to side with Israel and "respect" any actions taken by Israel to control Nuclear Development in Iran.</p>

<p>During a morning briefing in Israel, Romney's foreign policy advisor, Dan Senor, said "If Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from developing that capability the governor would respect that decision," <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/29/in-israel-romney-to-issue-unmistakable-warning-to-iran/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=mint+social&utm_campaign=Politiceur&hpt=hp_t2">CNN</a> said.</p>

<p>On Sunday morning Romney discussed his concerns about Iran with Israeli Prime MInister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is also a close friend of Romney, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19035134">BBC News</a> said.  </p>

<p>Romney expressed his worries on Nuclear development in Iran saying "The threat it would pose to Israel, the region and the world is incomparable and unacceptable,"  BBC News reported. </p>

<p>The GOP's candidate's campaign released excerpts of the speech making it clear that Romney will fully support Israel in whatever future actions that take against Iran.</p>

<p>"My message to the people of Israel and the leaders of Iran is one and the same: I will not look away, and neither will my country," Romney is expected to say, CNN reported.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>A South Minneapolis house, over 100-years-old, caught fire early Saturday morning leaving one person dead and four other hospitalized.</p>

<p>Firefighters arrived at the house, 2812 1st Av. S., at 4:30 a.m. Saturday and found the front of the 2 1/2-story house on fire and surrounded in smoke, the <a href="http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_21180935/one-dead-after-minneapolis-house-fire">Pioneer Press</a> said.  </p>

<p>Firefighters found five people inside the house.  One died at the scene and the others were taken to Hennepin County Medical Center with conditions still unknown, the <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/164125796.html">Star Tribune </a>said.</p>

<p>The owner of the building, Cy Ratsamy, said that he was renting the home to a mother in her 40's, her boyfriend, and the woman's daughter. No names have been released of the victims, the Pioneer Press said.</p>

<p>The cause of the fire remains unknown, the Star Tribune said. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I analyzed the <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2012/07/20/investing/stocks-markets/index.htm?iid=SF_BN_LN">news story</a> on the 1 percent American stock decline that happened on Friday.  The reporter used points and percents; sales and stocks to report the story, which was convoluted at times but overall manageable and easy to grasp.  It was a business article written for the finance section of CNN, so naturally the whole story revolved around figures and numbers.  I rarely read the financial section from CNN, but there appeared to be a set structure to how the reporter attributed the sources and organized the story.</p>

<p>The sources were in blue type and bold letters, and each company mentioned was followed with the abbreviation and status of the company.  For example, Bank of America was immediately followed by (BAC, Fortune 500).</p>

<p>The reporter used math to present the numbers in different ways.  Every time the reporter wrote the points for the Dow Jones, S&P, or Nasdaq, the percent was also given. The reporter also calculated the mean of various sale estimates for companies in the article.</p>

<p>Overall I found the article manageable to read, well written, and well calculated.</p>]]>
