SG : Car Accidents
I came through an article about car accidents in the United States. I was shocked when I found out how many people die each year in the U.S only. I checked on the U.S. Census Bureau and I found out that the number of car accidents death in 2012 only was 34,767 deaths. I couldn't believe it, I mean that is more than the death of U.S soldiers fighting terrorists with bombs and guns in Iraq and Afghanistan for the past ten years. Imagine that's like the entire population of Monaco in Europe. The cause of accidents might be one of the stupidest things in the world. Why do you have to text while driving? Text messages can wait. Another reason for car accidents is driving under the influence. Nobody can tell you to quit drinking but when you drink; a $20 for a cab can save your life and other's lives as well. Aggressive driving can also cause car accidents. And lastll but not least, check your car regualarly. Take precautions, 34,767 deaths from car accidents is not a small number. Be careful out there and drive safely.

#3 ASU 7 1/2- week courses
http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/2011/02/22/20110222arizona-state-university-shorter-classes.html
ASU has developed what is known as the 7 1/2 week course, where classes can be finished in a shorter time than the traditional fall and spring semester courses of 15 weeks. meaning, classes will be narrowed to a 7 1/2 weeks and students can graduate faster and pay less for their tuitions. Many people will be having a lot of different views on this short time courses. Some will look at the tuition fees and graduation, others will consider what they want to get out with from the class. In my opinion, there's nothing bad about this short classes, because I know there are some students out there who are fast learners and can do these classes. It's not for everyone and it's not compulsory. If you can learn those classes and get them to your head in a short time, then go ahead, ASU 7 1/2 week courses are for you. In addition if you don't have a job or have anyone to look after what would make these courses hard since your time will be on your studies only. It just needs more concentration. I compare this to a student who takes 18 credit hours and a student who takes 12 credit hours every spring and fall semester.
Who do you think will graduate faster?
