The oil industry in Libya has turned to utter chaos. There's no detereming on when this whole fiasco will even end. Armed men are now guarding equipment from oil field installations. This whole thing has turned into a huge mess. There is no organization at all in Libya right now and with the oil crisis things have begun to escalate real quick.
The Libyan port workers are even scared to get caught by Moammar Gadhafi's violent crackdown on the protestors. This whole showdown happened this week and things are not expected to get better. If anything, things are going to get worse. It's so sad to watch a country just burn up in flames like this at such excitement of crude oil prices.
For Americans, this is not good for us at all. Gas barrels are $100 each now and it increases the amount of gas to almost $5 a gallon in some cities like in San Francisco, California. No one is happy about this, I'm sure not happy. With our economy the way it is, we don't need gas to be more expensive or no one is going to want to leave their homes these days.

Gibbs High School Student Arrested for Shooting
It's really sad to think that just a 16 year old male high school student shot a police officer. It's a good thing Nicholas Lindsey got caught for his terrible actions, no one should have that state in mind to where they want to shoot someone. Hopefully him going to prison or wherever he goes will teach him a lesson. This way he won't make any more mistakes like this later on his life.
I feel really bad for Officer David Crawford's family. If he had a wife and kids, they must be going through so much pain. It's always so hard to lose a loved one, I've lost many close family members, but never a parent or significant other so the pain they feel must be unbearable right now.
I do believe it is Nicholas Lindsey's parents fault that he shot the police officer. The parents play a huge role in how they raise their child. If they are constantly argueing and fighting all the time it will really a mess a child up. I don't know how he was raised, but it may not be good if he already shot a guy at the age of 16.
To prevent this from happening is his parents could have showed him more love and been more understanding to him. David Crawford could have had his bullet proof vest on as well and maybe he would still be a live today.
My opinion on the 9 fallen police officials in Florida this year is it is just a real tragedy and very sad. It just shows taht due to the economic crisis we are facing the violence rates are increasing. People need some way to let their emotions out, but they choose a negative way like killing people other than a positve factor like kick boxing classes.

International Regatta setting sail this weekend.
If you are planning on a nice beach vacation this weekend, you may want to think again when you hear there's a regatta coming. The beach will be extra packed with sailors for its 505 MidWinter Championship 2011 Regatta from Pass-a-Grille beach. Sailors will be setting sail Friday through Sunday, pretty much all weekend long. This year is different since Americans have learned to launch their high-performance, lightweight boats directly from a dolly on the beach into the Gulf of Mexico.
Ethan Bixby and and Lin Robinson of North Sails in St.Petersburg have been organizing, promoting, and hosting these regattas since 1995. There are 12 boats in each International class, the 505, and the Contender. This is all pretty exciting since I'm a rower and that is similar to sailing in some ways. Sailing is also an exciting sport and you must love the water to be interested in it. It would be a great way to spend your weekend if you love sailing and the beach cheering on those sailors.

New Zealand hit by massive earthquake
Just recently, New Zealand was tragicly hit with a 6.3 magnitude earthquake. It managed to kill 65 people in one of New Zealand's most popular cities. Office workers were trapped underneath fallen buildings and 100 people had been counted as missing.
It's sad to think that most of those people now sit in ruined homes and their office buildings or work spaces are in ruins. People are going to have to take action and work together to get through this tough time. It even destroyed great historical buildings like the the downtown ChristChurch. It's always such a shame when great historical buildings are ruined due to earthquakes.

Pirates kill 4 American Hostages.
On the date of Feb. 15 on a Tuesday, 4 Americans who were sailing off the East Coast of Africa were taken hostage by Pirates. It may seem a little funny that they were attacked Pirates. It may make you think of Peter Pan or Pirates of the Caribbean, but yes there are real life pirates today as you can tell. The pirates shot and killed the 4 Americans for no reason at all. They are the Somali pirates and have been versing different attacks across The Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.
One of the pirates ended up getting killed by a member of the U.S. Special Operations Force and a total of 13 pirates have been captured. This is a little bit scary if you are someone who loves to sail or enjoys boating because you could be the next victim of these fierce pirate attacks. Instead of looking for treasure or burying treasure they are after people and find amusement in killing people.
