Title: Thousands audition for 'American Idol,' but few proceed to the next round.
10 Sentence Summary:
On July 31st about 12,000 people auditioned for next season’s “American Idol”. This happened at Qualcomm Stadium. About 95% of the 12,000 left disappointed. A lot of people that left disappointed said that they were going to try again whether it was at other auditions this year or in future seasons. This weekend, auditions will be in Dallas, and after that Omaha, Neb., Atlanta, Miami, Charleston, S.C., and Philadelphia.. The contestants were told that they had to be at Qualcomm stadium by 5 am but a lot of them started lining up hours earlier. Mayor Jerry Sanders was on hand to cut a ceremonial ribbon. Contestants were told they if you have any kind of beverage that doesn’t say Coke, you would need to put it under your seat. The auditions finally began around 9:45a.m.A lot of contestants were disappointed that they didn’t get accepted but a girl named Villalva who is 16 said she might go to Dallas for the next audition but if that didn’t work out she said there was always next year because she was still young and she knows she’ll have more chances.
3 Sentence Reflection:
I think that it’s exciting for someone to go to an “American Idol” audition because they are confident that they are going to the next level. I also think that it’s funny when people go to auditions thinking that they have talent when everybody knows that they don’t. It takes a lot of confidence to stand up in front of strangers and sing for them for free, especially when you have no talent..

▫ The Trouble With Fat Kids...
▫ The epidemic of childhood obesity is fast creating a national health crisis. There are tons of useful things people could do to lose weight: fasting, high-quality aerobic activities, and the ultimate low-fat snack. Another tip is for parents, when parents don't think their children are watching them, they are, and they will do the same thinking it's okay to eat all that fat. The American Dietic Association says that parents are kids' number one role models. So if parents can set a good example, they can have a fighting chance at countering the 30 billion dollars a year the food industry is spending to sell a chubby lifestyle to you and your kids. One is seven American kids are overweight or obese, a jump of 50% in the past 20 years. Tha's also nine million Whopper Jr.'s spilling out of their buns. At the rate we're going, by 2011 the fat kids on the playground will be banding together and making fun of the few remaining skinny ones. Even slim kids are at risk of heart disease and cancer. Exercise habits and dietary smarts are the way to avoid these problems.
▫ The most interesting fact I learned in this article is that kids consume 1,900 calories a day, even though they only need 800 - 1,300. " WoAh. "

Title: National Geographic: Red Hot Hawaii
Today I read about a Volcano. A scorching lava syrup coats fractured ground as it spills from Kilauea’s Pu’u O’o crater, active since 1983. The relatively gentle, flowing nature of lava in Hawaii creates mounded mountains said to resemble ancient battle shields giving them the name shield volcanoes. A procession of craters from bygone eruptions pocks Mauna Loa’s snow veined summit . Here two decades ago, curtains of molten earth shot skyward and encased trees in stone. Now pioneering ferns find damp warmth in the torn land.
This morning I read an article titled Spring Valley man’s body found near care facility. Late Monday, the body of a 22 year-old man was found behind a convalescent center in the Birdland area.

Autopsy results were not available, the cause of death was uncertain, but marks were found on his body. The body was in bushes next to a service road by Frost Street close to Sharp Memorial Hospital.
