Today in Birmingham Alabama a tornado hit. It damaged several houses and injured four people. No one was killed.

On Tuesday two German commuter trains crashed head on. Nine people people died instantly and one more died in a hospital later. Experts still don’t know how it happened with all the security systems. German railway systems are known for being some of the safest in the world. These particular trains were equipped with sonar, sensing all the other trains allowed to be on that track and what direction they are heading. If it realized that it was going to get in a crash, it braked automatically. In this collision that system did not kick in for unknown reasons.

It took hours to rescue all 200 survivors. Luckily it was a holiday weekend so not many people were aboard. This did not stop the engineers from dying.

Car thief was tracked down and found by police who found him after he posted a selfie of him and a sleeping victim on social media.

196 nations agreed on December 14, 2015 to reduce pollution between 2050 and 2100. The countries that did not agree to it said it was not enough.

In 2012 Darril Dennis, who had been on parole for 38 hours, kidnaped and murdered an 18 year old named Abram. In response Arkansas made a new law saying parolees could stand trial again or sign a waver to go back to prison for remaining time. Only 8% percent chose to stand trial.

As a result prisons reached their max capacity and overflow was sent to county jails. They filled up. People were sleeping on the floor in the offices.

Now the State is repealing the law.

Former Governor Huckabee has a campaign support he did not have last time, a biography. It reached best-sellers in November.

Huckabee supports abortion and it makes him veery popular. He finds the author very similar to himself.

“I learned a lot about myself and my heritage.” says Huckabee.

Two Russian government controlled TV stations accidentally  broadcasted government nuclear secrets. Footage was later deleted.

The Presidential Press Secretary says he knows of no plans to punish the responsible party. Obviously they plan to prevent such things from happening again.

The footage was taken during a defense meeting called by the President.

Moses Tucker Real Estate wants to replicate their River Market success with the 3.5 acre neighborhood they just purchased. It has lots of “grit” that they say they want to keep.

It’s meant to develop it’s own reputation      and not be under the shadow of it’s model. The construction chief thinks the area will start a rebuilding frenzy in the area surrounding it.

The team was the third added to the NBA. The Sheboygan Red Skins were a poor team  team even before they joined. The players were underdeveloped. The stadium was small and cramped. One time a coach was kicked out and he had to sit on the step outside, it was too crowded for him to watch the game.

When the team went to New York to play the Knicks the Knicks’s manager realized he was playing a poor team from nowhere and announced if the Red Skins weren’t out of the league next year he would be. You can guess who stayed around.

Now the only things left of the team are one old player and the stadium which will be demolished next year.
