According to Seattletimes.com, Mariners was winning at Kansas City, and the article also told about Chone Figgins who is the member of Mariners. After the game, he told about his feeling when his team mates and he tried to compete to get the scores for their team. He felt very comfortable and admitted that wild victory by his Mariners. In the time of game, his team mates and he have to deal with 13,206 fans at Kauffman Stadium, but they didn’t feel nervous. Figgins and Ichiro who is Figgins’s team mate got many points for their team, and finally their team won.
My opinion: I didn’t watch this game, and when I read the article, I was very happy that Mariners won. I think Figgins and his team mates are the best players, and they made Mariners’s victory.

With the weather in Europe was bad, so in last week 17,000 flights were cancel. Many people had to find the way as they would go out Europe by the vehicles or they would wait the disaster was end, but it was very difficult for them to do that. Closing of the airlines made many aviation companies had to deal with suffering from the economic crisis. The disaster estimated to be costing airlines 200 million a day, and it influenced many people who work in airlines.

My opinion: This is the disaster for many people who wanted to go out of Europe or wanted go to there and the airlines, it made the situation were very bad. Also I know that many people, airlines were waiting Government accepted the flights would be active because they admitted that the weather didn’t prevent those flight, and I think so because if we don’t do that, the economy will go down.
