dallas green

The granddaughter of Dallas Green, former manager of the Philadelphia Phillies and lead them to a world series victory in 1980, is one of the victims of the Arizona shootings and is the youngest. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was wounded and a federal judge were also killed in Tucson, Ariz.

Christina-Taylor Green, born on Sept. 11, 2001 and pictured left, had been elected to the student council at her elementary school and went to the Safeway to meet Giffords. The 9-year-old came from a baseball family and was becoming interested in politics.

"She was a good speaker. I could have easily seen her as a politician," her father, John Green, told the Arizona Star-News. "She was all about helping people, and being involved," her mother, Roxanna, said. "It's so tragic."

So a sad tale in Arizona with someone so young taken away by the shocking violence inflicted on innocent victims.

Is facebook really shutting down

Rumors are rife today that the social network site Facebook is set to be shut down come March 15th. It's proving to be yet another internet hoax that was put out by WeeklyWorldNews. The report states that founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, "wants his old life back" and "managing facebook has become too stressful".

It also says that “users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts on March 15th. In the past, WeeklyWorldNews has also started rumors about Michelle Obama being pregnant, and Michael Jackson being on the moon. Considering how successful Facebook is, the odds the there being any truth to these claims are slim to none. There is no response yet from Mark Zuckerberg, but all signs point to Facebook closing being nothing other than another Facebook/Internet hoax.

So another hoax that has been stoked up. What's the motive for the hoax? Who knows but there'll have been a lot of disgruntled people who first heard the news today.
