Kolb is now being called "the quarterback of the future" (QBOTF). The Eagles have 2 franchise worthy quarterbacks currently, Kolb and Vick. It is still unclear where Kolb will be next year. Teams like Arizona are interested, as well as any team that doesnot currently have their ideal player. Predictions of the demand will raise, after this years draft. The teams that do not get who they want in the draft will have to consider the young quaterback, since his projected potential is high.

Cuban Woman celebrates 126th Birthday!
http://www.comcast.net/video/cuban-woman-celebrates-126th-birthday/1778301368
Woman from cuba has just celebrated her 126th birthday. She has documentation to prove that she was born in 1885. She has not recieved the credit of being the oldest person in the world, due to misbeliefs that she is truely as old as she is.
The cuban government bought her a cake in honor of her special day, and she celebrated it with her large family, including her great-great grandchildren.
It is hard to believe that anyone can make it to that age, especially since the documentation is only a piece of paper, but I believe her. So I say, happy birthday Juana Rodriguez, lets make it to 127!

New food pyramid released Jan 31, 2011
The U.S. government has released a new food pyramid in efforts to promote a healthier lifestyle. This promotes things like exercise, portion control and keeping your plate as colorful as possible. It seems to be slightly similar to the Mediterranean food pyramid.
Below is a link to a picture of the new pyramid.

Snow still preventing Parking, tickets being issued
http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local-beat/Snow_Tickets_Philadelphia-115076359.html
Everyone that is driving in Philly has noticed the substantial lack of parking on the streets. With little parking available and snow covering the spots that are usually there, with no one around to clean up the snow drifts many people are parking where they can. The PPA is issuing tickets to people who park in front of meters.
It is Philadelphia's responsibility to clean the streets and make it available for transportation and parking. If parking is not available and people are getting tickets for not feeding the meters, the PPA should show lenience for an extended period of time.

Obama to Egypt: 'We hear your voices'
Obama to Egypt: 'We hear your voices'
After all the protests in Egypt, President Mubarak said earlier this evening that he will not seek reelection this september.
U.S. President, Barak Obama addressed the public this evening, stating that no country can determine egypts leaders, only egypts people can. Obama stated "An orderly transition must be meaningful, must be peaceful and it must begin now."
The people of Egypt hopefully will suceed in electing a leader that will have their best interest.

All About Laura Robb
I am starting a blog out of want, need and necessity. 1. I need to do this as a requirement for class 2. I know that it will only benefit my writing and ability to find and get news out to people 3. If I ever get good at blogging, I can use this to my advantage when I begin the job hunting process after college.
So who am I?
My name is Laura Robb, a 23 year old journalism student at Temple University. I was born and raised in southern New Jersey. I am the youngest of three children, and currently reside with my mother and my son. I am the truest example of a non-traditional student. I am a little older than my classmates, and a mother. This makes my drive stronger, but my obstacles far greater than the average student. I work full-time, go to school full time and am a full time mother. My busy life is challenging and exhausting, but succeeding is my only option, not just for myself, but for my child.
I hope to be able to learn what I enjoy writing about as well as further develop my news gathering skills.
I think that all for now. Thanks for reading and please come back soon!
