Title: "Kidnappers with covered faces 'branded' California mom, officials say"
Author: Paul Vercammen, CNN

I think just about everyone has heard about the Northern California mother who was found alive last week after a three week abduction. Officials are now saying that her abductors branded her, although they are not giving details as to what or where the mark is. The motive for the kidnapping is still unknown. For more information and updates i would recommend checking out this article. 
This is an educational "E." People are learning what happened to the young women and are staying curious, they want answers just as much as the detectives do.

In Germany a set of twin brothers were born deaf,and over the years they became blind due to diabetes. They live in a group home for people who are deaf-blind. They do travel home often to visit their parents. They have a very close bond and even sleep in the same room every night. They enjoy living in the community, they partake in various activities and fill their days with fun. These men are now 49 years old.

Daylight Saving Blues

Title: " Transitioning from daylight saving time could increase depression"

Who out there loves the time change? I think nobody. New studies show that the time change is causing people to get depression. Even though we just gained an hour of sleep (how nice) the loss of that extra sunshine at night makes people sad. If anyone out there is confused as to why we have day light savings click on the url above and watch the video, it gives a full explanation. The article is also worth the read, explaining different studies and reasons why daylight savings causes an increase of depression cases. This article is a education "E" it helps people understand and learn.

Title: " It's as healthy to eat bugs as it is to eat steak, study says"

In the United States it is not normal to eat bugs, but I guess it is starting to catch on. Insects are very high in protein and if you eat enough, they say its equivalent to eating meat. I know in other countries it is great to eat insects such as crickets and ants but I do not think I could replace a nice steak dinner with a bowl of fried bugs. Insects are an awesome alternative for meat and can save people from starving. Maybe some day in the future bugs are going to be considered our main food source, but until then I am going to keep on enjoying  my juicy steak. This piece is an educational "E"

Title: "'Gilmore Girls' trailer takes us back to Stars Hollow -- and it's as if we never left"

The hit show 'Gilmore Girls' ended a couple of years ago, but Netflix is making a sort of revival to the show. They are making 4, 90 minute episode so viewers can see what is going in the life of the girls and how they are doing. Personally, I am pretty excited about this being aired. I recently started watching the show and still need to catch up, but once i do, i know ill love it. This is for sure an entertainment "E".

Just a Little Surprise

Title: Snake Emerges From Hood of Man's Car on the NBC news  website reported by Melanie Michael from WFLA's

Rather than an article, I am doing my blog on a video. It is an interview and very short, but I still thought it interesting and deciding to give it a shot.

How terrified would you be if you were driving down the street and all of a sudden you see a snake slithering across your windshield? I know that I would be absolutely horrified! I am so scared of snakes I can barely look at a picture of one. Well this Florida native experienced just this. He was driving home and out came a snake from underneath his hood. He says he wasn't scared and actually very calm when he saw it, only reaching over to close his vents. He pulled out his camera and recorded it, like probably anyone would.

I would this is an entertainment "E." It is funny,but also kind of scary to think this could happen. If this happened to me, I would have probably wrecked my car because I am so scared of snakes.
