Okemos, Mich.: Susan Barry, 60, spends every day wishing she had known more about male anorexia when her son, TJ Warschefsky, was still alive. He died in 2007 at the age of 22 after an eight-year battle with the disease. His heart gave out in the middle of his nightly routine of 1,000 sit-ups. He weighed 78 pounds.“He didn’t want to be skinny,” Barry said of TJ, who was a star athlete and straight-A student. “He wanted a six pack, he wanted rock hard abs. That’s how it all started.”

This is just one of the many stories on this site. People hear anorexia and think it's a girl's disease, but at least one million males in the United States struggle with anorexia or bulimia. It seems that the disease is increasing among boys, but it could be that they are just more comfortable "coming out" now. One in four people suffering from anorexia are male and it makes it embarrassing for them to come out because people believe it's a girl's disease. Something needs to be done about this.

Rapper M.I.A. gave the middle finger to the network camera's during Madonna's performance at the Super Bowl halftime show. There was a failure in  NBC's delay system and the gesture was disappointing and inappropriate. I don't think they should even have to have blocks on family shows. I mean come on, grow up, little kids watch the Super Bowl with their families. If the show is family oriented then celebrities should be smart enough to make the right decisions. They aren't any better than any one else and they have to abide by the same rules. I happened to be watching with my grandma and I was embarrassed that something so vulgar would happen on a family oriented show. People need to grow up.

More than 70 people were left dead after the events that took place at the football game and more than 1,000 injured. Groups of anti-authority fans called "Ultras" have a conflict with the police at football games because of the "heavy-handed treatment". The question is why and how this happened while police just stood by. The league has been ordered to stop and there is a three day mourning as the fans take to the street to protest and demand answers. I want to know how it got so bad when the police were right there! Why didn't they do anything? I think this whole ordeal will have repercussions and this won't be the last time we hear about it.

Okay, I know some people don't like school but this is taking it way too far! Two teens from Roy high school in Roy, Utah planned to detonate bombs during a school assembly. Police were notified by a kid who received a text to stay home from school the day it was supposed to happen. It involved Dallin Morgan, 18, and a 16 year old boy. "If I tell you one day not to go to school, make damn sure you and your brother are not there," one text message read. "I get the feeling you know what I'm planning." The texter writes that "Dallin is in on it." Dallin was charged with the conspiracy to possess explosives and is now released on a $10,000 bond. The 16 year old is being held for the same charge at a local detention center. Other texts explained how they would escape by attacking others and stealing a plane. "Explosives, airport, airplane," one text read, according to the affidavit."We ain't going to crash it, we're just gonna kill and fly our way to a country that won't send us back to the U.S.," another text states. The 16 year old boy was fascinated by the 1999 shootings at the Columbine high school in Colorado. He stated that he did not want to be compared to the Columbine killers because he was smart enough to kill more people. He had already made a pipe bomb with gun powder and rocket fuel. I think this is insane and I honestly think that 16 year old is a psychopath.

None of the crew was there to help the people. The people had to save themselves and try to get to the lifeboats. The crew all got onto the lifeboats but they didn't even know how to operate them. 3o to 40 minutes after the crash they made announcements saying that everything was okay but the passengers knew it wasn't and knew they needed to get off. Personally, I would be to scared to do anything. I think these people were very brave.

 Friday the Marine Corps began to make the decision on the disciplinary actions to be taken, if any, against U.S. Marines found urinating on dead bodies in Afghanistan. The top Marine officer General James Amos appointed three-star General Thomas Waldhauser to oversee the case. He then hired an officer to do an internal Marine Corps investigation in addition to the investigation taking place by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service(NCIS). Investigators are looking to see if senior Marines are failing to ensure the proper discipline. They are also investigating whether or not the marines are receiving the proper education on the laws of warfare. It is important that they move quickly to show that the U.S. will not tolerate this behavior because it could be devastating to our efforts in reconciliation.

 I find it embarrassing that men from our military would
