Would you kill for the lotto?

In 2006 Abraham Shakespeare won the lottery, winning $30 mill. He spent the money paying off debts of his family and friends, he missed being normal and being able to go places without people around him asking for more money. So when Doris Moore said that she would help him keep control of the rest of the money he had left in 2009, he said yes. Later that year he went missing, and then in January of 2010 they found his body. Moore was found buying duct tape, trash bags, and plastic sheeting around the time he went missing in   2009, the blame was being pointed at her. She denies it now, but as she goes to trial today we will see what the truth is. In Florida they normally have the death penalty, but she is not being charged for this. She also should be charged for messing with the family because in the time that Shakespeare went missing she was using his phone to text the family acting like him, and also since she had access to his bank account she would send money to family members for gifts and things like that. In the end a man is dead and all the fingers are pointing at Moore, we will see what happens in court. The trial should be over in the next few weeks.

Having the flu can cause Autism

According to study, women who are pregnant and get the flu have twice the likely-hood of having a child with Autism.  They don't know yet what causes the baby to have it, they know that its not from the high fevers that cause it. The U.S. Centers For Disease Control are Prevention looking at kids from the age of 3-14 born from 1997-2003 and only a small percentage ended up having autism. Then they asked the mothers if they had any signs of the flu while being pregnant.The study found that if the fever from the flu lasted more then a week before the third trimester, the baby had a huge chance that it was going to have autism. Getting the shot does fight against getting influenza, but nothings been shown that it for sure stops the kid from getting autism. But pregnant women are advised to get the flu shot.

homes are destroyed in the big storm

On Tuesday morning Queens was declared to have the highest risk of being flooded, yet over 50 homes were on fire. Hurricane Sandy was making its way through New York last night leaving its mark pretty noticeable, the high winds, the flooding and the fires make it very noticeable that something bad happened. Firefighters were out all  night trying to help. The water was so high that they had to go out in boats. Luckily the president had signed a 'major disaster declaration' for these areas, basically telling everyone to get out of the area because it was unsafe. Some of the blazes were unable to get to, and get put out. most everyone got out of the houses that we know of. There are still many people stranded because of the storm, with no power or food.

Can whales talk like humans?

This week it was proven that other animals are just as curious as we are. In San Diego a white whale named Noc sounded like he was trying to mimic humans. The only time he tries was when humans were near him in the water. Words are not actually coming out of his mouth, but its the sounds that we would make. Its another step closer to other species understanding us and vise-versa. If you watch the video its pretty cool to see. He is being closely watched by a team of marine biologists.
