USA vs Canada

0



its been one amazing winter Olympics here in Vancouver Canada. All the spectacular events and participants from all around the world took part in these great Olympic games.

These games have lead up to one of the most anticipated finals between USA and Canada for the Gold in mens hockey. If you were keeping up with Hockey, you would know that USA recently beat Canada. But that was only for qualification. Canada still has a chance at gold, and now we see it as they face USA again.

This will be one hell of a game tomorrow.

You know who im rooting for.

Haiti Earthquake

(Map Provided CNN)


Haiti makes up one-third of the islands of Hispaniola in the Carribean. It is located between Cuba and Puerto Rico and two-thirds of the island is the Dominican Republic.

This horrific earthquake destroyed most of Port-au-Prince, the captial city of Haiti. About 3 million people in Haiti were affected by the earthquake. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.0. It estimated about 10 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince. We have yet to know how an estimate on casualties because it is not available at the moment. Currently, the United States and United Nations are helping with the cause and Canada is promising 5 million to help them. The quake ripped apart buildings and those that were last standing were opened to all sorts of elements. It even affected buildings as big as the National Palace. This disaster is the lastest to effect the country of about 9 million. It was good news to hear that Haiti's first lady, Elisabeth Debrosse Delatour, reported that President René Préval was alright. Although, this disaster was catastrophic, everyone is doing what they can to help out.

To add, i know its not much but its something. If any viewers out there would like to donate money to Haiti, here's a safe site. Link from The Hundreds.

30 Songs for $675k

a Case about a "Boston University doctoral student Joel Tenenbaum" that illegally shared thirty songs and was fined $675,000. Even with the help of a professor from MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Joel Tenenbaum could not win over the case.

Currently in Canada the law about downloading music illegally is unclear. Also, ISP's cannont send your IP address to other parties, music industries or anywhere. Although the law could change over the years.
