DO CELL PHONE CAUSE CANCER


  For years scientist have been arguing about if cell phone cause brain cancer. Is cell phone radiations that harmful to people.
   Most scientists believe that cell phones are the cause of mmajority of  brain tumors. “ Long-term and frequent use of cell phones which receive and emit radio frequency may be associated with an increased risk of brain tumors,” says Ronald Herberman the director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute and the UPMC Cancer Center. There have been three studies since 1999 showing that people who use their cell phones more than usual, have three times the risk of getting a brain tumor on the same side of the head they hold their phone. Evidence has been proven by The EMR Policy Institution, when a man developed a tumor on the side of his head where he holds his phone. Tests showed that the man’s tumor was linked to his heavy cell phone use.
   Jorn Olsen, chair of Epidemiology at the University of California disagrees with the fact that cell phones cause cancer. “ Cell phones don’t release enough radiation or energy to damage your DNA or genetic material, which can lead to brain cancer,” says Olsen. Cell phone radiations have been tested on animals to prove that cell phone don’t cause cancer. The result of the tests turns out to be about 50/50. The radiation from the cell phones caused cancer sometimes and other times it didn't.
   Cell phones can cause brain cancer depending on how much people use their phones on a regular basis. The more you use it, the higher the risk of getting a tumor in your head.

National Edition stories

Time wasters:

I think this story is newsworthy because it like a wake up call for teens that say they don't have time to do their school work. Their right when they say that students don;t do their work either because their lazy or they just don't feel like doing their work. If they feel that way what's the reason for them to com to school at all. I think this is a social media. This news would appeal to the students in school. It got my attention because i can relate to it because i sometime don't do my work and use the i don't have time excuse.

Drivers get tickets fro texting behind wheel:

This story is newsworthy because lots of people don't understand the danger of texting while driving. A lot of people have dyed doing it of injured. Some that do it and get a ticket just pay the fin for it and keep on texting while driving because the don't care, they just do what ever they want. This story is a news story because it shows what happens when you are caught texting behind the wheel and the consequences to it. This story targets every one that text a lot. The story didn't get my attention because most people would see this and say it's true but still do it and there is a likely chance that they will get caught.

Mrs.Molesky One Point Perspective Room Project

Mrs. Molesky the Art and Media teacher at Institute of Technology at Syracuse Central, is doing a project with her students in 2-D Drawing and Block 5 Studio in Art students. The project is to draw a one point perspective room. The students can choose any room they want to draw. The room must show four walls, decorations,  and furniture. The room must show details to make the drawing look realistic. Mrs. Molesky is doing this project because it teaches a simple system of technical drawing. With these skills students can learn how to draw cubes and cylinders in perspective. The students use these shapes to draw furniture, windows, posters, and other details.

Here are some of the rooms the students have drawn:

GOING GREEN FINAL DRAFT

                                                          GOING GREEN

Our world is being polluted, day-by-day and we're not doing anything to stop it. The era of laziness about going green is over. It’s time to help the planet we live on. Even now because of pollution the north pole is melting little-by-little making the animals there go extinct. Even the littlest thing can help save the planet.

People are changing from electric power to solar power. According to YNN.com, buildings around the Syracuse area are placing solar panels on their roof. A nursing home in North County and the Broome County Public Library have put solar panels on their roof; they produce enough power to fuel 3 houses a day. A program called NYPA has planned to put 1,000 megawatts of solar panels on top of schools and other public buildings. This is to help New York State reach it’s goal of getting 45 percent of it’s electricity though clean renewable energy by 2015.

Last year our school won a $7000 green grant to research solar power. Mrs. Molesky's Media class suggests that our school switches to using the Century Gothic Font. It's a font that is used to save ink.  The only cation is because the font is so wide, it uses more paper than regular font.

According to Ms. Sobon, Global teacher at ITC, “We only have one planet and its pollution so far is our own fault.  We need to be open to trying new ways of getting heat and electricity.  I think people can help by doing as much as they can.  Some people have gone to the extent of putting up solar panels or building windmills for their community but sadly these things come with a big cost that many of us just don't have the money for.  Therefore, even if you don't have enough money to do big things such as those you can do little things like not littering and picking up your environment.  Also, little things like don't use the air conditioner all the time or don't buy a dryer, instead hang your clothes up somewhere in the house or outside.  There are a lot of appliances that use too much energy so I think the less we use these them the better!"

Wouldn’t you agree?

General tips on how to GO GREEN:

1.    Recycle
2.    Clean up your neighborhood
3.    Ride a bike instead of taking the car everywhere
4.    Don’t waste water
5.    Don’t leave your lights on if you are not using them
6.    Plant trees and flowers in your Local Park or neighborhood

My role on the Tech News

I see me doing any role for the tech news even if I get a boring role I'll do it but not being any anchor-women because I'm not construable in front of the camera. The types of stories we should but on the news should be sports, weather, events, and thing that happen in other places that are considered important. 50% of the news should be local and the other 50% not local. Are website should be about us and a little about other important thing going on around us.
