Pensions

Sacramento has been known for giving out pensions like its candy.
There is always a problem with pensions, and you give a pension up to another
person who is lacking. For example, for decades police officers
and firefighters in the city of Sacramento has paid nothing out of
pocket towards their retirement accounts. This shows how much the ones
receiving the pension have not put in on their retirement and
benefits. City employees get a lot of benefits that are not answered
for and should be recognized. State employees who benefit should
pitch in on the benefits rather than ride on the taxpayer's back. Also
another example, retirement benefits for city employees as a group has
gone up 37%. To sum up my idea state employees who get benefits are
going to have to start for their retirement and benefits.

Dorothea Puente

The infamous Dorothea Puente, a Sacramento woman who was convicted of several murders, died of natural causes in prison.

Puente owned a boarding house on F Street in downtown Sacramento where she killed her mentally ill customers for their social security checks. In an article in the NY Times Puente stated, “I used to be a very good person at one time.”

This shows that although Puente must have been a very disturbed women to kill amother human, she understood what she was doing at the same time. Puente was convicted in 1993; however, she committed the murders throughout the 80’s.

“She still claims all the victims died of natural causes,” claimed a worker at the prison that Puente was held at.

It seems as though Puente got worse while in jail, she went from being accountable to claiming she was innocent.

Falsified Opportunist Engaging with the Innocent

We have all heard of several instances where the man in charge has become another monster under the bed, placing fear and dread within childrens dreams, its just a shame that it turns out to be a person parents trust enough to place their childs life in their hands.

Elk grove soccer coach Arthur Temblador was taken ino custody without incident and charged with sexual assault with a minor within minutes of 9 p.m. Friday, March 25th. Matt Kawahara sited that the Sacramento Police Department approached a “suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of a closed medical building.

It was then that officers found Temblador engaged in sexual activity with a 16-year old girl in the vehicle.

The Elk Grove Everton Football Club's Executive Board denies having any awareness about the activities leading to Tembladors arrest, however, his name was removed from the clubs website, and he has been placed on administrative leave until more appropriate measures must be taken.

Meanwhile startled parents shake their heads in confusion. Russ Perez, 35, of Elk Grove, a parent of one of the club's younger players even commented to say “Temblador has mae a large part in determining the curriculum taught to members of the team.

Another parent in disbelief Perez stated “Temblador also ran a shooting clinic for players of all ages on Friday nights.

Wiz Khalifa

Khalifa is a rapper, and I like to say he “makes anytime of the day feel like
a club.” His music landed him a 1st place spot on the MTV event,
hottest breakthrough artist of 2010. For example, the executive vice
president of the website allhiphop.com, Steve Raze commended the young
up and coming artist.
In Khalifa's eyes he is a rap artist who was
special enough to be recognized as one of the premier breakout artist
of 2010. This shows that in this industry only the ones that put in
a lot of time and effort will prevail in the music industry. It’s
amazing to see a group like Taylor gang do good and breed a rap artist
such as the young Khalifa. For the young star it's easy to fall from
the top but all Wiz is thinking about is making it to the top and play
fair. This shows how much Khalifa has accomplished with his
strong lyrics and directivity of his crowd to love him so much. In
conclusion, Wiz Khalif' still has a way to go to make it to the top
and there seems to be no stopping the t.g.o.d. leader.

Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor was know for her fame as a child actress star, but later recognized later as a talented award-winning film star beauty. This awarding-winning beauty died on May 23 of heart failure. Before her tragic death, she requested that she wanted to be 15 minutes late to her own funeral. Ms.Taylor is know for her award-winning films, but mostly for her fragrances. Ms. Taylor’s most famous fragrance is “White Diamonds.” This perfume reached 61.3 million dollars worldwide last year. I would agree that the world has lost a very important star. Elizabeth Taylor was a start in her own category.

Elizabeth Taylor thought of auctioning love letters?? It is interesting that Ms. Taylor was going to auction off some love letters that she never sent to her first love William Pawley. These letters date back to 1949 when Elizabeth was only 17 years old. When she was alive the letters were worth around $25,000 to $35,000. “Now the amount will double or even triple then what it was before.” says Bobby Livingston the spokesmen of an auction house in New Hampshire. I think that it’s not fair that the letters are still going to be auctioned off even though she is not here anymore. I find it disrespectful to her soul and her fame.

I think that there is going to be a lot of different news about Elizabeth Taylor that is being spread around. I hope people don’t forget what she was recognized for when she was alive and not for the news that’s going around.

Metals Heads

There have been 7 pop stars that are trying to be who they’re not, which are Metal heads. These pop stars are wearing Iron Maiden tees like if
they even know who they are.

When you buy a certain product that deals with an artist, you should
at least know who the artist is because if you don’t then you are most likely to be called a
poser. Lemmy Kilmister quotes, “I wish everybody who had the t-shirt had the album.” When you buy a certain product that deals with music, make sure you know your stuff or else u will be a poser.

When these pop stars know what real metal heads are, they should really
get to know what a true metal head is. A word from our fellow students, Gabe Castaneda quotes, "I think its weak because its not who they are.” A true metal head knows what is real, not like these posers imitating metal heads.

In the end, you should know what a true metal head is; if not then go
to hell! ROCK ON!!!!

The Underground Sound

Digital Underground a band out of the Bay Area known for their funk-a-delic style of music. They created a mass of funky songs. One song we have chosen is one of their greatest, “Doowatchyalike.” This 1989 song was unique in its time, for its cheery sound, and at that time most songs from the west coast were thug- related, “I will Shoot Ya House”, Gangsta Anthems. Consequently the Underground sound was different, having a piano man, violinist, and flutist (instruments not seen much in Hip-Hop). Also the video had a big cast of artists (like Kid &Play, Eazy E, KRS-One, and others. see how many you can spot) having a good time. The video takes place at a party in a hotel. In the hotel you would think it is hectic chaos, surrounded with bodacious, half-dressed women, and random elements like fish flopping around on the dance floor. “Doowatchyalike” is a real party anthem.
