some good things
Now here are some good things :-
1. A 21-year old motorcyclist who collided with a BMW on the campus of Utah State University was lying unconscious beneath the burning wreckage when bystanders rushed to help. Workers at a nearby construction site began to lift the car along with students, while a professor shot the scene on his camera phone from an upper window of a building. Rescuers thought the man had already died, while arrived at the scene with fire extinguishers. But fortunately the man survived.
2. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, absent from the U.S. Capitol since she was shot in the head 7 months ago, walked into the House chamber to hearty applause before she cast a yea vote as the dramatic debt ceiling debate came to an official close in the House of Representatives early this evening. With her surprise appearence, the Representative from Arizona joined 94 other Democrats in passing the compromise bill, 269-166, averting a possible default on the nation's credit. 175 Republicans also voted for the bipartisan deal, easily passing the measure, which had been crafted over the weekend. Rep. Gifford tweeted after the vote, "The Capitol looks beautiful and I'm honored to be at work tonight." She was walking and talking and seemed wholly recovered among the crowds of Congressional admirers surrounding her. In a statement released by her office, Giffords said, "I had to be here for this vote. I could not take the chance that my absence could crash our economy."
3. On New Year’s Day, a devastating terrorist bombing at a Coptic Christian church in Egypt killed 21 people and injured 79 others. It was assumed the culprits were Muslim extremists, intent on targeting those they saw as heretics. The following week, as Egyptian Copts attended mass at churches across the country to celebrate their Christmas, “thousands” of Muslims, including “the two sons of President Hosni Mubarak,” joined them, acting as “human shields” to protect them from possible terrorist attack. The Muslims organized under the slogan “We either live together, or we die together.”
4. Detroit is enjoying a renaissance this year. Chrysler and GM have begun to pay off considerable chunks of their bailout receipts and all Big Three auto manufacturers – Ford, GM, and Chrysler – posted profits in the third quarter. In sports, the Tigers made it to the ALCS with AL Cy Young and MVP Justin Verlander, and the Lions have a chance to hand reigning champs Green Bay its first loss of the year. The city’s morale has been buoyed by an influx of young entrepreneurs, eliciting comparisons to Brooklyn’s hipster-friendly Williamsburg by the New York Times. After limping on life support for years, the Motor City’s auto industry and sports teams finds themselves in this unlikely situation due to outside intervention with savvy use of assistance leading to better product on the field and the assembly line and renewed faith in Detroit. Detroit’s struggles began long before GM and Chrysler needed bailouts to stay alive. As American auto sales declined in the face of rising Asian autos and union pensions bogged down profit margins, American auto slowly walked to its apparent doom. Chapter 11 bankruptcy allowed GM and Chrysler to restructure their debt and pensions, but without the government’s bailout and an improved line of cars, both would be out of gas.
5. NAIROBI, Kenya — The drought-induced famine crisis in Somaliahas eased somewhat, United Nations officials said on Friday, with the number of people facing imminent starvation dropping to nearly 250,000 from 750,000 because of rainfall and increased aid deliveries. somali internally displaced persons waited in line to receive relief food at a food distribution center in Mogadishu. the situation remains bleak, however, and Somalia’s food security is still the worst in the world. But “substantial humanitarian assistance has mitigated the most extreme food deficits and reduced mortality levels,” according to a report issued by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network and the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit, which are partly financed by the American government and the United Nations. Somalia has lurched from crisis to crisis since its central government collapsed in 1991, and this year a famine swept through the southern regions of the country. Drought was the immediate cause; the year has been one of the driest in decades. But the drought unleashed a full-blown famine at the hands of the Shabab, a vehemently anti-Western militant group that controls much of southern Somalia and that has been blocking most aid agencies from reaching people in need. In the last few months, Western aid agencies have been ramping up operations and scrambling to find ways to obviate the Shabab restrictions, relying on technologies like sending money electronically by cellphone so people in famine zones can buy food from local markets. Western charities are also partnering with new players on the aid scene, like Turkish groups and other Muslim organizations that are allowed into Shabab-controlled areas.

some bad things
Now here are some disasters and bad things :-
1. Sun Erupts With Most Powerful Solar Flare in Four Years (Feb. 14): An X-class solar flare, the most powerful form of solar flare, erupts and jams radio communications in China. Such a solar blast has the potential to disrupt electrical power grids and satellites used on Earth.
2. Northern Lights Enhanced by Solar Flare (Feb. 17): The Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the northern lights, are more prominent due to the recent solar flare eruption. Thanks to the solar flare, the Aurora Borealis are visible farther south, even into the northern tier of the United States.
3. Earthquake Strikes New Zealand's Second Largest City (Feb. 22): A 6.3-magnitude earthquake hits Christchurch, New Zealand, killing at least 75 people. The U.S. Geological Survey reports the earthquake is part of an aftershock sequence from a 7.1 earthquake that hit the same area last Sept.

4. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords Among 17 Shot in Assassination Attempt, Six Killed (Jan. 8):Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords is shot in an assassination attempt in Arizona. She is among at least 17 shot by a gunman who opened fire on the congresswoman's constituent meeting outside a local grocery store. Six people are fatally wounded, including United States District Court Judge John Roll, and a young girl. The gunman, who police identify as Jared Lee Loughner, is apprehended and remains in police custody. Rep. Giffords, who was shot in the head, is hospitalized and in critical condition. (Jan. 9): Loughner is charged with five federal counts for the Arizona shooting spree, including attempted assasination of a member of Congress. Rep. Giffords is still in critical condition, though her doctors are optimistic about her recovery. Authorities believe Loughner acted alone.
5. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi ( pronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko?) is a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.[5][6] It is the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986.[7] The plant comprises six separate boiling water reactors originally designed by General Electric (GE), and maintained by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). At the time of the quake, Reactor 4 had been de-fuelled while 5 and 6 were in cold shutdown for planned maintenance.[8] The remaining reactors shut down automatically after the earthquake, and emergency generators came online to control electronics and coolant systems. The tsunami broke the reactors' connection to the power grid, leading the reactors to begin to overheat. The flooding and earthquake damage hindered external assistance. In the hours and days that followed, reactors 1, 2 and 3 experienced full meltdown.[9][10] As workers struggled to cool and shut down the reactors, several hydrogen explosions occurred.[11] The government ordered that seawater be used to attempt to cool the reactors—this had the effect of ruining the reactors entirely.[12] As the water levels in the fuel rods pools dropped, they began to overheat. Fears of radioactivity releases led to a 20 km (12 mi)-radius evacuation around the plant, while workers suffered radiation exposure and were temporarily evacuated at various times. Electrical power was slowly restored for some of the reactors, allowing for automated cooling.[13] Japanese officials initially assessed the accident as Level 4 on the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) despite the views of other international agencies that it should be higher. The level was successively raised to 5 and eventually to 7, the maximum scale value.[14][15] The Japanese government and TEPCO have been criticized in the foreign press for poor communication with the public[16][17] and improvised cleanup efforts.[18] On 20 March, the Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano announced that the plant would be decommissioned once the crisis was over. Japan's foreign minister criticized foreign media reports over the accident as overdone and excessive.[19]. Click on the above circle to vew the vedio of the disaster
6. At Least 8 Die in Australian Flooding (Jan. 10): At least 8 people are dead and over 70 missing after massive flooding ravages Brisbane, Australia.
The area has seen weeks of heavy rain and flooding, killing
at least 18 people over the past two months.
The region had been suffering from drought for 10 years.
at least 18 people over the past two months. The region had been suffering from drought for 10 years.
7. Bombing in Moscow Airport Kills At Least 35, Wounds 168 (Jan. 24): A suicide bomber kills at least 35 and wounds at least 168 in an attack on a Moscow aiport. The blast occured in the international arrivals section of the airport. Authorities are as yet unsure who masterminded the bombing.
