City residents begin swapping weapons for computersMexico City- In a attempt to reduce deaths caused by firearms in Mexico's capital city, police have started a campaign to exchange guns for computers and other gifts. The first day of the campaign resulted in the exchange of 29 weapons in a notorious neighborhood known as Tepito. The neighborhood, known for drug dealing and black market contraband, received lap top computers, packets of food and cash in return for guns. Joel Ortega, Mexico City Public Safety Secretary said, "Imagine how Mexico City would be if there were no guns. This is a barrio known for boxing champions, and now it has turned into a barrio where there were 32 murders last year." Mexico City Mayor, Marcelo Ebrard, established the guns for computers campaign as part of a crackdown on crime across the city. In the past Ebrard has sent thousands of police to neighborhoods like Tepito in order to tackle gang activity. Mexico's President, Felipe Calderon, has led a nationwide attack on crime and has sent more than 24,000 police to areas known for drugs and violence. |

Pizza as health food? Food chemists say yes For as long as everyone has known, pizza has been one of the most delicious foods that we all have eaten at some point. It also has been known to be junk food as well. But according to University of Maryland food chemists, they are now starting to consider it a health food. They say that they have found ways to enhance the antioxidant content in whole-grain pizza dough by baking it longer at higher temperatures and giving the dough time to rise. While this does sound like great news, keep in mind that this does not apply if you put on mounds of fatty toppings like extra cheese, pepperoni, sausage and ground beef. For the most part though, with this breakthrough in pizza technology, there may be a great reason to eat pizza more often. |
