The fight is on again over whether or not dangerous dogs should be kept as pets. RIP Edward Cahill. The 40-year-old man was found dead by his wife on Christmas Day. The suspect was his beloved pet Pit Bull lovingly named Fat Boy.
The argument has long been that these types of dogs are deadly and on December 25th, Fat Boy proved that Pit Bull’s are deadly. At the heart of the argument, is the question whether or not the dogs behavior is instinctual or brought about by bad owners and negligent training.

This week in the news there has been much discussion about the super storm approaching the Northern Coast of California. The coastal areas are expected to receive upwards of eight inches of rain while inland valley regions are expecting three to five inches of rain. Winds are also expected to be fierce with gusts between 60-80 miles per hour. If the wind speed is sustained, this will put this storm on par with a level 1 hurricane.
With the state in extreme drought conditions, the water is desperately needed. The problem is that dry land mixed with massive amounts of rain are likely to produce landslides. The environmental damage from this storm could be severe.

Growing up, laser weapons were a thing of comic books, and special effects from movies such as Star Wars. Today, the US Navy has stepped forward where others have not traveled and unleashed a new weapon that may make fighter jets obsolete.
