Super Bowl Seats Still Available
Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
Great news! Super Bowl XLV tickets are still available. For those of you who want only the best, second row on the 50 yard line will run you a cool 23,717 clams or you can economize and opt for the end zone nosebleed section for $2664. Parking is extra.
For the rest of us, Adweek estimates 110 million, we’ll be watching Sunday’s Super Bowl game way off the sidelines – in our homes, at parties, or in the nearest big-screen establishment.

Drunk driving. Over the limit. Under Arrest.
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
On August 26, the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) kicked off the annual “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.” campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to combat drunk driving, and the USDOT has teamed up with over 11,000 law enforcement agencies across the US to step up enforcement until Labor Day.
A report released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that 8 percent of all drivers admitted to driving when they thought they were over the limit last year.

I woke up to a bright light. Sitting in the back seat, my head fell because the door it leaned on was opened from the outside. I was caught by the back of my brand new sweater and lifted out of the car. Waking up I realized, my arms were cuffed behind my back and I was being escorted to the hospital entrance. I tried to remember if I had been injured in any way, but I felt fine.
My name is Julian Contreras and I graduated from High School in 2004. I was a strong student and graduated with academic honors to include, National Honor Society and Spanish NHS. I was Vice President of the Art Club, an active member of student council and also participated in football, track, and cross-country. My how time flies…
