Vanessa told me about this and I found this story about it at NEWS.YAHOO.COM on Wednesday.

"The mother of a 19-year-old female Syrian blogger who was arrested last year has appealed to President Bashar al-Assad for her release, saying her daughter does not understand anything about politics."

I heard about this and just found this story.

I came across this post today and thought I would pass it along.

"A 19 year old man who stole numerous cars and credit cards in a month-long crime spree across the prairies last year has just pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg court."

Would anyone care to comment on this?
