Maytag recalling 1.7 million dishwashers

Maytag recalled 1.7 million dishwashers that were made between February 2006 and april 2010. An electrical problem in the dishwashers apparently can cause it to start on fire. The dishwasher at my house actually was one of these i think. A few weeks ago it started to smoke, and we had to shut it off and not use it for a few days. Im pretty sure it was a maytag. Then we got a new one from the manufacturer. So i guess we were lucky it didn't start a fire.

Wounded taxi driver 'watched friend shot in face'

Cumbrian gunman Derrick Bird shot and killed twelve people, and then shot himself. A taxi driver got shot in the back with a shotgun, by Derrick. Derrick pulled up next to him, raised his shotgun, and fired. The taxi driver dove just in time and the bullet just grazed his back. His military training then kicked in as he crawled away, using cars for cover. The shooter then drove away, shooting other taxi drivers in the town. The wierd thing is that the shooter was also a taxi drive, and was friends with most of the people he shot. He even went on vacation to Thailand with some of them.

Mom of toddler smoker in Indonesia seeks help for him

Two-year-old Aldi, from Indonesia, smokes, and is obese, nearly twice the size he is supposed to be. He smokes an average of 40 cigarettes daily. The mother sais she's confused and she said "What am i supposed to do?" She said she even forbade him from smoking. He is freakin 2 years old, if you don't give him cigarettes there's no other way for him to get them, so just stop giving them to him, who cares if he cries! That's my opinion. I think the mother should be put in jail, and have Aldi sit in a play pen for a week without having any cigarrettes, and who cares if he cries, or throws a tantrum.

HP to cut workforce by 3,000

Hewlett-Packard plans to cut 3,000 jobs over the next few years as it ramps up its use of automated data centers for business customers, the company announced Tuesday. They are planning to invest 1 billion dollars into these new automated data centers. HP will cut about 9,000 jobs in its enterprise services division as a result, but over the same time period, the company expects to add about 6,000 employees to its sales and delivery teams.
A lot of people think that HP is doing something wrong here, and that it's wrong to fire people. But it's a business, not a charity. A business tries to make as much money as possible. I know if i ran a business and if i fired people my business would do better, I'd do it in a heart beat.

Nearly 150 dead from weekend storm in Central America

A topical storm in Guatamala has killed 123 people so far, with another 90 missing and 69 injured. Guatemala also is feeling the effect of the Pacaya volcano, which erupted Thursday night and continued to spew ash Tuesday. Three people were killed when they were crushed by rocks strewn by the volcano. As a result of a landslide, caused by a storm, a big sink hole has appeared. It's actually really cool, i think, that something like that can happen. It looks like a big hole going straight through the earth (See picture below).

Turkey slams Israel for 'bloody massacre'

Israel's closest Muslim ally accused the Jewish state Tuesday of a "bloody massacre" against an aid flotilla of six ships carrying humanitarian goods bound for blockaded Gaza. As a result there will be no transportation of people or supplies in or out of Gaza. Israeli soldiers rappelled onto the deck of the ships from a helicopter. The boarding of the ships took place in international waters more than 70 nautical miles (130 km) outside Israeli territorial waters, according to IHH, one of the flotilla organizers. The six ships were carrying more than 10,000 tons of aid and 600 passengers from more than 20 countries, according to the Free Gaza Movement.

That's bad that Israeli soldiers rappelled onto the decks of ships, outside of their territory, and murdered all those people.

Robots to begin cuts to gushing well

The oil has been gushing out of that thing for so long now, it's been constantly putting out oil for weeks now. It will take a long time to recover from that, and they should have been prepared for stuff like this. Now he wants robots to go down and cut the hole bigger, so he can fit a custom made cap on it. The long term solution is drilling two relief valves, which will be done in august, which is a lot of oil spilling into the ocean untill then. Government estimates are that up to 19,000 barrels (798,000 gallons) of oil a day are flowing into the Gulf. And it started on April 20th, so it's been like 45 days!
