What would you say if when you got to work your boss told you to go home and make babies? Ya, you would be stunned and prob. really confused. Well those are prob. some of the same reactions workers at the Canon headquarters in Tokyo had. They were told to go home because of lower birth rate and told to make babies. Here is the article.

Obama
Our school just watched the inauguration of our new president, Barack Obama. I thought it was a very realist speech and he kept it easy for everyone to understand. I also thought it was really really long but what do I know. I don’t know if you saw when Obama take the oath. He messed up and Joe Biden didn't, it was pretty funny. I do have to give him a little credit that was a lot to remember. Joe seemed to do alright but I don't think he had as much to say.

Martin Luther King
For you who don't know today is Martin Luther King Day. Most schools have today off but my school doesn't. We get every other Friday off so I kind of understand but I still think we should get it off. It is a big holiday and should be celebrated.
A lot has changed since Martin Luther's time. I think he would be proud of how far we have come and how much he did to affect all the changes that were made. When you think about it we really have came a long ways since then. Back then there was segregation and black people didn't have equal rights. Now we have the first black president ever and black people have equal rights just like everyone else. Yes, there still are problems with racism but it’s not everywhere. I know down south in Mississippi and Alabama still have problems. I personally don't have a problem they are just like us no different. Everyone should be treated equal no matter what. I have two black cousins and they are really chill. They are just like me, no different.

Current Event
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/17/business/economy/17fed.html?_r=1&hp This is is the link to the aritcle.
My article “Feds cut bench mark rate to near zero” by the New York Times is about how the Federal Reserve cut its interest between zero and .25 percent. This was done to help fight back against the recession. Japan used a zero rate policy for six years to fight against deflation. The Federal Reserve said it will use any tool to help the economy get back on its feet. Such a buying large quantities of debt and mortgaged-backed securities. The federal reserve isn’t the only one trying to fight against the recession but almost every store has been slashing prices.
This does not come as a big shock to me. It was only a matter of time before the federal reserve had to make a big sacrifice for the country. As for the other places slashing prices before Christmas, it only makes sense that’s what they would do. People want to make money and the only way to make money during this time of economic decline is to have people save money. I can tell you from a personal opinion that people will not be buying super expensive gifts but more likely to buy a lot of smaller, cheaper gifts. My birthday was the fifteenth of December and I got a bunch of gifts from the family and range mostly around the fifteen to twenty dollar range.
