This article is about the secret history of ketchup. Some interesting facts about this condiment that every one in America loves is that the first ketchup was made of a mixture of sea creatures, soaked for days in pickling vinegar and spices. After having it pickle then it was known as the very first basic thing of ketchup or French dip. Over 97% of Americans right now in their fridge have a bottle of ketchup in it. This is a really cool article that should grab anyone's attention because I don't know one person who doesn't like to have ketchup on a burger or on the classic french fries.

He is quite old but good for him for going ahead and getting that degree.

This article is about a softball umpire that died of a heart attack in the middle of the second inning. This umpire was only 60 years old at the time and just collapsed on the field. Very sad news article to read because the umpire was perfectly healthy and only needed a knee replacement at the time. This news highlight should only be local news instead of the world wide news. Very sad article wishing the family and friends of umpire the best!

This article about Lopez Lomong making a big mistake in the U.S. qualifier run at the Stanford University. He was running his 5000 meter run and celebrated a victory a little bit earlier than what he was suppose to celebrate. This is a really funny article but he can't be doing that in the Olympics or he will lose really badly. Olympics are also only 87 days away in London also. Good article and congratulations to Lomong on winning the race!
