Young Arms and Curveballs: A Scientific Twist

1)In what ways are sleeping aids deadly?

1) Sleep aids, while relatively safe, can cause side effects. Some people actually become more awake and alert when they take them. Other people sleep walk when on the medication. When combined with alcohol or other drugs, sleep aids can be deadly. Experts do not consider most sleep aids to be chemically addicting, but many people do experience a psychological addiction to them. - Marcus Guyton

2)Who are more likely to develop cancer?
I think doctors or people who are constantly around radiation. I also, think elderly people are most likely to get cancer because their body can't fight things off as much as a young person. I just think anyone around toxic or something that can give you cancer. Also, people who go, and get tanned because of the lights. Studies have shown people who are tall, and obese also have a higher chance. Also, people who smoke tobacco are more likely to get cancer.- Arielle Walker

I think doctors are more likely to develop cancer as the previous response said. I also think that children can also be more likely to develop cancer because if it passes down from generation to generation. Cancer can run in their family and it could be in their blood. The doctors may be likely to catch it because they deal with all the radiation on a regular basis and they could get it as well. People who are out in the sun all the time. They can get it if they’re out there for a while. Personally, I think that people should lay off the tanning and going in tanning beds because they can get cancer as well. -Trineshia Hudson

I agree,People who are around radiation and the suns harmful rays without protection.And elderly people as will because they don't have a strong immune system to fight the disease.And children with weak immune systems too.And also by having it passed on to you from generatiom to generation.-Cierra


I think people who is more likey to get cancer is children and like the other response’s said an elderly person would be more likey to get it. Also doctors could get it to , because some doctors treat clients that have cancer and there around them so much that they might catch something when in the room with them and not know it. People who uses san tan beds are also likey to get it , thats uv rays on your body that you could catch cancer. ~ jasmine johnson
3)Are sleeping aids deadly? What is the debate?
There not bad per-say unless you consume caffeine within the hours before you take them that would be bad for you body because caffeine keeps you up and a sleep aid knocks you out and both at the same time can cause weakness and you will feel not night after night would be bad for your health still because it forces your body to sleep when its not ready. Marcus Guyton

http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/15/health/feds-tobacco-ads/index.htmlCDC unveils graphic ads to combat smoking

1)What is the name of the campaign?What do they plan to do?
The name of the campaign is called "Tips From Former Smoker." The campaign wants to inform and educate Americans about the dangers of smoking through the stories of other smokers. They also will be showing graphic pictures of ex- smokers who have a lot of severe health conditions. They want to do everything they can to help smokers quit and prevent people from starting in the first place. Some of the health problems is they can't breath so they have to have a lot of surgeries to breath again. Some have suffered strokes, and more and the campaign just wants to bring those numbers down.- Arielle Walker
2)How will this campaign be different from other non-smoking ads?
This campaign will be different from non-smoking ads because this ad shows what really happens in people’s lives. This ad really shows people real stories and what has happened to them now that they are smoking. I think the campaign could possibly help people to quit smoking because they wouldn’t want to end up like the other people have. I think this campaign will also be different because it really gets the point across instead of just using actors. I think that there should be many more campaigns made. I say this because there are a lot of people bodies being damaged by smoking. If more campaigns were made, that would help a lot of more people see the point. -Trineshia Hudson

3)What did Phillip Morris have to say about the campaign?
Phillip Morris and the other major tobacco companies, deceived the world about the health risks associated with smoking -- not only did the tobacco companies know about the dangers, they actively worked to obfuscate the medical and scientific findings coming from reputable. Marcus Guyton
4)When was the Tobacco Control Act passed?What does it consist of?

This article talks about making awareness about smoking to teens and adults.By advertising on the combination of public service announcements and paid advertising for television,radio,newspaper,magazines,billboards,in theaters,online,facebook,twitter and youtube.They are also exposing the dangers of being exposure to secondhand smoke.

I think this campaign will effect allot of people minds about smoking.It shows smoking and all its dangers.And it is consistent in its cause.The campaign is not only on tv commericals but on bill boards and etc.It shows their determination for a good cause.-Cierra

UK police say missing girl Madeleine McCann may still be alive
  1. What made police open the case again? The police decided to reopen the case when new evidence was found. When the evidence was uncovered during the review in May last year the police started thinking. The police deiced that they now believe that there is a possibility that Madeleine is still alive, and they are trying to get people to tell them any information they have. The police didn't say they had any new leads though. Madeleine's parents are asking everybody and anybody to help find their daughter. The police are still unsure on how to pursue this case again.- Arielle Walker
  2. How did she vanish?Who was watching her why her parents were out?
  3. Have they found any evidence of her still being alive?If so, what?Yes, they have found evidence that the little may still be alive. The evidence that they found was someone released a photo of her. I think that the second the police saw this photo, they should have got up and continued the search for the little girl. The little could be still alive, but her kidnapper could have released the photo of her to show her one last time. But without the negativity, the kidnapper could have released the picture to show that she is ok. He could have been feeling bad about taking her and decided to send a signal letting everyone know that she was ok. Also to let them know that she might be coming home soon.- Trineshia Hudson
  4. What is the chance of her even knowing who her parents are if she is still alive?

The article i chose was ,”UK police say missing girl Madeleine McCann may still be alive.” I chose this article because it really caught my attention.The article is about a little girl,Madeleine McCann,who went missing in 2007.When she vanished she was on vacation with her family in Portugal,she was at her parents apartment,while they were out at dinner.The police released a new picture of how she may look at 9 years old.They reviewed the case in May of last year and has been going through the details from the case.They say as a result from that there may be a chance she is still alive.Detective Cheif Inspector Andy Redwood,who is leading the case,say they will continue to look for her.

With all your comments it opened my eyes to some things that might had happenent that i didnt think of.I do believe that she might have gotten kidnapped.I also believe that she has a 50% chance of being found alive and a 50% chance of being found died.Which i pray is not the case that she be found died.Because in some cases people have been found alive over a long period of time .And all you can do is never stop searching and pray.-Cierra
