The Mets have not been doing very well this year. Most of their good players were hurt. Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, Putz, Wright, and Santana were all hurt. The Yankee's had a good season. They might be in the World Series if they try. The Yankee's have won two games against the Angels. They need to win one more game to go to the World Series. If the Dodgers win against the Phillies the Dodgers will be in the World Series. It will be Joe Torre against Joe Giradi.

Mets And Yankees Season Update
Hello this is Eli L. with your Mets And Yankees Season Update
Mets
The Mets have recently been 1-4 games behind the first place Phillies. The Mets have many players hurt such as their star shortstop Jose Reyes. Also Carlos Delgado and many other Mets are put on the Injured Reserved List. The Mets need to get those players back and maybe then they can start winning more games and get into first place.
Yankees
The Yankees also have been recently 1-4 games behind the first place Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox are doing well this year so the Yankees are having trouble catching up with them. The Yankees just recently lost to the Washington Nationals that is not a good sign. The Yankees are looking for the Red Sox to start losing so they can catch up but that may take some time.
This is Eli. L with your season update.

Helping the Earth
Helping the earth is a good thing for people, animals and the environment. If we recycle reuse and reduce, our use of natural resources, then we can help the endangered animals and rebuild their habitats. If every person planted one tree we could begin to restore the ozone layer. One of the most important environments is the arctic, it is disappearing. If we plant trees we an change that. We as a community can bring that about.

The Color Spectrum
Did you know that white light isn’t just white light? It’s all of the colors of the rainbow (spectrum) red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. All these colors mixed together as light produce white. When you shine a white light at a prism, the glass or plastic splits the colors to get these spectrum colors. This theory was proven by Isaac Newton, a very important scientist. To get white light, mix the three primary colors: red, green, and blue. Red and green mixed together is yellow. Red and blue mixed together is magenta. And green and blue mixed together produces cyan. Yellow, magenta, and cyan are all additive (primary) colors.

What's New in the Theater?
The new movies are coming out faster than you can say cheese. There is Earth, Hannah Montana the Movie and Monsters vs. Aliens. The movies are all great and I rate what I think in stars. One star being the worst and four stars being the best.
The Hannah Montana Movie: For all the fans of Hannah Montana out there, this is the movie. This movie is about how Miley has to choose between being a pop star and having the life she never got to have back home in Tennessee. This movie features new songs from Taylor Swift, Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus (or Hannah Montana.) In the movie Miley also meets this cowboy adding to the decision. The movie was interesting and if you like Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus you should see this movie. ** I would give this movie 2 and a half stars.
Monsters vs. Aliens: This movie was fantastic in my opinion The 3-D added to the excitement and overall the movie was awesome. This movie is about a girl who was going to get married. Then on her wedding day she was struck by a rocket that contained a substance that aliens need and it made her huge and she was sent away to live with monsters. Then the aliens attack earth and the monsters fight back. My favorite character was B.O.B Bob or a blue jell-o blob but you may think differently. **** I give this movie four stars.

Critics Corner: A Review of the Movie Earth
On a rainy Sunday afternoon, I went to go see the new Disney Natures movie called Earth and it was outstanding. If you like adventure, nature, animals, action and humor, Earth is the right movie for you to see. Its stories go from the Arctic to Antarctica, from the oceans to the rain forest - Earth's got it all. The filming and photography are amazing - you wouldn't believe what they can do with a camera. The movie has never before seen animal behavior and you can learn some really interesting facts. For example, I learned that 3% of the world is covered by rain forest but one third of the world is covered by desert.
This movie is rated G. I highly recommend it and give it four stars.

Swine Flu
As everyone knows, swine flu is all over the world. Almost every state in the U.S. has reported a case, and two people have died in the U.S. People think it started in a small town in Mexico with a five-year-old boy. He has recovered. In China, people are being quarantined if they come in contact with someone with the flu or if they have the flu. Mexicans in China have been quarantined also. We are not sure when it will end.

Puzzling Patterns
On Mars there are interesting patterns located in different areas of the planet. They are outstandingly big, but with the help of a satellite, it zooms out and takes pictures and makes them look smaller than then they really are. One pattern is of a ruler wearing his crown. It is eleven miles wide. You can make out the crown, the eyes, the mouth, and the nose Another pattern is an ancient Egyptian queen's (Nefertiti's) head with her hat. A very interesting pattern is a dolphin. Many wonder if these patterns were made by Martians, but scientists think that these are all just natural geographical formations. But we won't know until, if the day comes, we meet a Martian and communicate with them. Until then, we will have to just wait and see.

Facts about CFL Lightbulbs
1. CFL stands for compact flourescent lightbulbs.
2. There are screw-in CFLs and plug-in CFLs.
3. You can save up to $68.00 by using a CFL instead of a regular bulb every month.
4. CFLs are 10 times more expensive than regular lightbulbs but last ten times longer than regular ones.
5. By replacing a single regular bulb with a CFL bulb, you can keep a half a ton of CO2 out of the air over the life of the CFl bulb. (CO2 is bad for the air.)
6. If everyone in the U.S. used CFL bulbs, we could get rid of about 90 power plants which is enough to stop global warming.

Baseball Fever
Baseball has just started and every fan would do anything to see a game. Unfortunately whenever the season starts tickets cost a lot of money. The Mets just opened a new field called Citi Field. It is named after Citi Bank who paid the Mets $400,000,000. The Yankees also opened a new stadium called Yankee Stadium (like the old one). I hope both teams enjoy playing in their new stadiums. This year the teams have gotten a lot of new players and have improved their teams. People seem to always want to know what the baseball scores are so now on some airplanes, cruises and on the ipod touch they will be telling you the baseball scores. Baseball, football and basketball are three of the main sports in America. More than 75,959,167 people attend baseball games every year. Some say baseball will be better than ever in 2009. I hope you will enjoy baseball in 2009 because I know that I will.
