Komodo Dragons By Daniel

Komodo dragons have lived in the earth for millions of years, although amazingly, their existence was unknown to humans until about 100 years ago.
Komodo dragons are the heaviest lizards on Earth.Reaching 10 feet (3 meters) in length and more than 300 pounds (136 kilograms). They have long, flat heads with rounded snouts, scaly skin, bowed legs, and huge, muscular tails.
As the dominant predators on the handful of islands they inhabit, they will eat almost anything, including carrion, deer, pigs, smaller dragons, and even large water buffalo and humans. When hunting, Komodo dragons rely on camouflage and patience, lying in wait for passing prey. When a victim ambles by, the dragon springs, using its powerful legs, sharp claws and, shark-like teeth to gut its prey.
Animals that escape the jaws of a Komodo will only feel lucky briefly. Dragon saliva is stuffed with over 50 strains of bacteria, and in less than 24 hours, the wounded creature usually dies of blood poisoning. Dragons calmly follow an their pry for miles as the bacteria takes effect, using their keen sense of smell to work on the corpse (they eat it ALL -no bones left-). A dragon can eat 80 percent of its body weight in a single feeding (That's big!!!!!).
There is a stable population of about 3,000 to 5,000 Komodo dragons on the islands of Komodo, Gila Motang, Rinca, and Flores. But, a lack of egg-laying females, plus the poaching of humans, and natural disasters has driven the species to endangered status. (http://www.honoluluzoo.org/komodo_dragon.htm)

The game called represent is when the host says 3 words into the contestants ear and they have to look for 3 familiar signs on the ground and they have to remember them. If they remember them all he/she gets $300.Then as for the regurgitater the host recites a shot story and then the contestant is asked questions about the story and if he/she gets them all right they get $300.Then the top money earner gets to move on.

Educational Institution...or Juvenile Detention?

an editorial by Franklin, Socorro, and Casey

At our school, Los Angeles Academy Middle School, many people pass by our school and think that the "school" looks like a prison. A student named Edward that is currently in seventh grade says, "The school looks like a jail because the P.E. field looks like a cage that was meant to hold prisoners." Another student named Franklin says, "The bars on the fence look like the bars of a jail cell." A student from seventh grade named Anthony says, "The school looks like a prison." That's when, Casey, Socorro, and Franklin, started to think, 'Why don't we ask a teacher?'.

We went and asked Anonymous why they thought the school looked like a jail. Here's our answer. "The school was actually built to be a Juvenile Detention Center but, parents said that they didn't want to have a Juvenile Detention Center in the neighborhood and that they needed a school much more than that because the only school close by was Carver MS. So it was decided. They built LA Academy MS however, they built it with the blueprints of the Juvenile Detention Center so that is why the school looks like a jail." Well, Anonymous pretty much summed that up for us didn't it? So now we know that the school was meant to be a Juvenile Detention Center. Well this has been news from Casey, Socorro, and Franklin and we're out!
