 * Response:** Gonzalez has compete in the Olympic games since 1988 and is now 47 years old. This year was competing for Argintina and finished dead last. It said that the death of his friend had him so shaken up that he did not want to go to opening ceremony. I have heard that this track was the fast track ever designed. They can reach a speed up to 90 miles a hour. Gonzalez thinks of the Olympics as only a dream and that getting to go is a big enough honor, but sinces his friend died on corner 16, he was not going to go again if they did not extend the wall. Which in the end they did and he competed but sadly came in last. =====

I hope that one day i can be as giving and inspiring as that woman has been to all those lives she has touched.**=====

Response:He recalled all the past scares and how some of the snow storm warnings ended up being true. For example the blizzard of 1993. He wrote of how he witnessed all these people stocking up with what seemed to be enough food to last them for months. The funny thing is that he was right there with them stocking up, but rather than a moths worth he just got enough for the week. My family was definatly one of those families stocking up. My mom was here during the blizzard of 1993 and had herself concivinced this snow storm was going to have the same impact. Though it did not end up being that bad, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Title:​ Woman Charged After Child Burned Author:News Sentinal Staff Publication: Knoxville News Sentinel (TN) Date of Publication:Tuesday January 19,2010

Response: ​I was very alarmed when I saw the headline of the story and could not resist reading it. It is very sad to read that a woman can not tell that bath water is so hot that it could burn her daughter. Since her daughter was so young that she was still giving her a bath, she should have known to test the water to see how hot it was before she put her daughter in it. On the other hand she did do the right thing by taking her daughter straight to the emergency room.
