Knowing that some do not have the time to spend cruising the pages of the local news paper, so I though I would bring you some of the news stories that I feel deserves reading in a concise form.

ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS
In 1972 a major environmental project was undertaken in the State of Florida. To relieve the pressure in their landfills, they created an artificial barrier off the coast of Florida using two million tires. The artificial reef that was constructed was a disaster. Coral and sea vegetation did not replenish the area. Since this construction project, the cables and wires banding the tires together have deteriorated due to corrosion. The sea floor is now covered with tires with some showing up on the beautiful sandy beaches of this fair state. Through the year of 2010, the State of Florida has budgeted a total of 3.4 million dollars to aid in the clean up effort. The U.S. Navy has also volunteered personnel, time and equipment to assist in the operation as a training exercise for their divers.
MOVIE REVIEW
The movie, "Man of the Year" starring Robin Williams will be released to the video stores on Tuesday, February 20th. I personally reviewed the movie this evening and found it very entertaining, humorous, and reflective of our political system. If you enjoy the humor of Robin Williams, you will enjoy this movie. I will give it 3.75 stars.
