I found the article about the space rover Observation drilling on the surface of Mars very interesting.  The rock appears to show signs of a wet environment.  If the environment on Mars was different at one point in time it is possible that the planet could have supported life.

    I found the article about scouts very interesting. Ex-porters say that no scout units in any part of the world should have gays included.I find this interesting because any kind of scout should be a team about helping the community and teamwork. Not judging people by there cover.

    The article about a deadly stampede that killed 36 people, a lot of children, very sad. The stampede was in India at a Hindu Festival that only comes every 12 years. Deadly stampedes like this have happened at this festival, but people still continue to go.
