Time Article:China's response to US arms deals with Taiwan

Congress announced on Wednesday that it would sign a $5.85 billion arms deal with Taiwan to equip the outdated Taiwan airforce with much needed modern armaments. China regards this as a direct threat to them as they believe Taiwan must eventually be reinstated into the peoples republic of China and the US arms deal is creating friction for that to happen. In the past US dealings with china's enemies resulted in a 1 year cut in the US's alliance with China, and Taiwan proposes buying up to $6.5 billion more in future deals. If the US goes through with thiese further deals it could result in a lasting detramental effect on the US's already tenuous relationship with China.

re:Nearly 600 firefighters working BWCA wildfire

About a month ago a huge wildfire began in northeastern Minnesota, about 600 firefighters are working on it currently and have managed to contain it and extinguish about 19 percent of it. Heavier than expected rain in the past weeks have allowed the firefighters to make substantial progress in it but much of the forests were burned or are still burning. The wildfire was apparently caused by a bolt of lightning striking the dry underbrush and igniting the leaves, 147 square miles have already been burned and the fire is heading back towards the boundary waters area. Firemen are currently using every tool and vehicle at their disposal to combat this fire but the damage has already become severe.

"Video Games:Google+ isn't playing aroud" article response

Google+ has introduced a new system of social gaming that is meant to create a greater appeal for their site as opposed to facebook. This has drawn further attention to them as an alternate social networking site and competition to facebook. They've one-upped facebook by giving a greater incentive to game developers and offered the casual interactive environment of other online games, I enjoy that its brought interest in video games to a far greater number of people who would never have considered them before. Now however I predict that though they have superior games google+ will still fail to replace facebook as the primary social networking site of choice.
