‘Jobless Claims Match Four-Year Low’

1) How many people filed for unemployment benefits? How does it differ from the number of claims made in the previous week?

2) Why is the employment rate still 8.3% even with the growth of employments being created?

3) Why didn’t economists expect the sudden growth of employment?

4)Why are the employment opportunities growing after many were unemployed?
Spots always open up after unemployment. When a spot opens at a job another person comes to fill it. When large numbers of unemployment came around new people came to replace the empty spots. Its happens not only in jobs but everywhere. Whenever something goes empty, usually it gets filled or replenished. When I run out of energy I usually eat or drink something to refill the lost energy.~Jarel~

There are many reasons for this. Many people were applying for unemployment checks and they weren’t working. Since this is so, people who were legitimately unemployed could apply for jobs. All of those unemployment spots are now being filled. However, there are still alot of people unemployed. They people still employed don’t want to give up jobs, so it’s still relatively hard to find a job. This is why the employment rate is still down.-Ayunna

It has been reported that 351,000 people filed claims for unemployment which went down from 365,000 that previous week. The week of March 3 was the second week of unemployment claims made by 3.34 million people. This was 81,000 down from the previous week. Recently, economists consider it the four-week moving average and this figure has been gradually declining.The government reported that hiring remained strong and many employers were adding 227,000 jobs. While employment is still slow, hiring was better in February than in January. Employers managed to create enough jobs to atone for new entrants even though employments rates remained at 8.3%. Recovery is seen in the future with a three straight months of job growth. The government and economists have claimed that the job market “has turned the corner.”

Treasure’s Response: Both of you are correct in the matter at hand. Many people are unemployed and whenever a new job spot opens, they are willing to jump in and refill it. Unemployment is like a cycle within itself. People apply for unemployment checks then when something opens up, employers need new people to come in and work for them. Therefore people jump at anything possible.

Obama has raised alot of money for his campaign. In February of 2008, he raised $56 million. For his reelection campaign he earned less. He only earned $45 million. This money will be used by Obama and other officials to build the general election infrastructure or banking for use in the general. The money will also be used for other purposes after the election.-Ayunna

5) Do you feel that President Obama is doing his fair share as the president of the United States?
I fell Obama is doing an excellent job. Even though some things he promised he might not have reached he got elected in office in a horrible time. The economy was bad, war, social life, and he is trying to change it all around. He started out in a deep hole and he’s digging himself out. I hope he gets elected into office again because he is a very intelligent African American man that stands up for whats right. He did something people never thought would happen, brought a black man into the white house.~Jarel~

President Obama was able to raise $45 million in February with the help of two fundraising accounts: Swing State Victory Fund and The Obama Victory Fund. A total of $56 million in February. Jim Messina are forcing email users to believe that supporters of Obama are just being sucked into a trap. In February, Obama was able to raise $2 million with $1 million being donated by Bill Messina. Throughout the 50 states, the Obama campaign holds a significant edge over Republicans. Over 348,000 people made contributions to the re-election of Obama in February which included 105,000 that were first time donors. In the end, over 1.5 million people donated to Obama 2012. Fundraisers were able to open office positions, recruit new volunteers and give back to the voters. It is said that2,415 students attended the campaign’s campus summits. Obama raised a total of $746 million in the whole 2007-2008 election process.

Treasure’s Response: I just want to say thanks for actually reading the summary and maybe even the article people. Anyway, I feel that both comments made were correct based on actuality and opinions too. Barack Obama was brought into office in a bad position and he’s doing what he can to fix it, not just for himself but for the world too. People in America have helped him make many contributions to give back to the community.

‘Fake Pot Sending Kids to ER’

1) What are some of the symptoms of the synthetic marijuana?
there are no recorded symptoms on the effects of fake weed on the human body. some bloggers have reported that its makes your lungs ache. Others have reported that it makes their throat burn long after using it. Scientist in general have said that it chemicals that have unknown properties. So because of that they have recommend it not be used. Because of the unknown chemicals could be dangerous.
2) Why doesn’t synthetic marijuana show up in regular screenings?
Because it partly all natural and doesn't have any real weed in it. it's made up of dried leaves and other plants that wouldn't show up on an regular screening.
3) Why is it important for you to inform an adult if you or someone you know uses drugs?
It is extremely important to inform someone if drugs are being used. When someone uses drugs it effects everyone. When someone has to keep paying to get the drug they might steal money are get them in illegal ways. After effects can throw off family balance and social life. If everyone hears you take drugs nobody would want to be your friend if your a bad influence. Also, if someone under the appropriate age taking drugs they can be severe consequences at school, home, and with the police.~Jarel~


It is important to let someone know if you or someone else uses drugs for many reasons. For one, some drugs are very harmful. If someone is abusing drugs, they can do serious harm to themselves or others. Another reason to tell would be because people can get into serious trouble for using drugs. If drugs can be stopped beforehand, other problems can be prevented. Ultimately it’s your choice if you want to use the drug or not, but there are some harmful drugs that give you self damage.-Ayunna

4) Do you feel that law enforcements are taking the correct steps to stop or prevent illegal drug use?

5) In what ways can you help prevent drug use in your community?
Sedrick: well one we can report any suspicious behavior in the community. We can also report anyone we know that uses illegal drugs. Give helpful tips to the authorities as to where they might find illegal drugs. Become an member of the community neighborhood watch. Get people to join the cause to keep illegal drugs out of the community. Spread the word of the bad side effects of drugs to the youth.

Many people are starting to use synthetic marijuana compounds. It is reported that these substances are sending teens and adults into the hospital showing symptoms of intoxication. Every teen suffered from different side effects from the fake drugs. Three case studies showed patients received excessive sweating, high blood pressure and rapid heartbeat. Although two of them became agitated, all three survived and were able to return home soon after. These imitation drugs are banned in almost all states and the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration extended a ban on some chemicals. The problem is that the synthetic compounds do not show up in routine screenings. The only way for the medical staff to know exactly what was smoked was for the teens to tell them. The American Association of Poison Control Centers have reported that 6,959 calls were made relating to adverse effects due to the synthetic marijuana in 2011. Joanna Cohen expressed the importance of staying aware of the signs of drug use and helping to prevent others from using it.

Treasure’s Response: Although I appreciate whosever response to number 1, I would just like to point out that there are, in fact, recorded symptoms of synthetic drugs. The summary and the article both state that teens that used them did experience different symptoms. Anyway, these are all great ways for us to keep ourselves and our neighborhoods safe and clean from drug use. If just one person spoke up, imagine the impact it would have as word spread from mouth to ear.
