5. Kim Kardashian...whatever...blah blah blah...Why is this woman still in the news? Okay, seriously, what do you think about Bruce Jenner? Do you really care? Does it really matter? Page D2 "Kardashian..."
Kim Kardashian in still in the news becauseBruce Jenner is undergoing a gender change and is her step father (?) and the sisters say that they support Bruce 100% through what he is going through. I personally do not like Bruce Jenner and honestly don't care. I don't really think it should be treated as such a big deal right now because most people don't really care about it.

Short Answer: Nepal....what a tragedy. Read the story on page A3 "Nepalese.."
I think that what is happening in Nepal is devastating and sad because there was nothing they could really do about an earth quake. It was a 7.8 magnitude earth quake, which is huge, homes and buildings were reduced to rubble and destroyed without hope of rebuilding. Roads were blocked by landslides that caused traffic jams and prevented people from leaving the city and 223 people were confirmed dead because of the quake. 
        There were many shortages of food, clean water and electricity and leaving people in some villages trapped and their homes turned to rubble. Some concrete buildings were still left standing but most others were destroyed. Nearly the 100,000 army was sent to Nepal to help with search and rescue from the central government. At least 7,180 people were injured and thousands were left to be homeless and without a family. With a strong fear of after shocks, people set up tents outside in huge groups because most of their homes were destroyed in the earth quake.
