Teen Pulse

On Pi Day, a team of 12 high school students, their mentors and a handful of parent chaperones boarded a charter bus.
Over the next three days, they would finally get to test their skills against other teams, to the cheers of an audience of hundreds.
They are no ordinary team. They are the FIRST Robotics Competition team 4153, aka Project Y.
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded by Dean Kamen, president of DEKA Corporation, in 1989.
In his words, the mission of FIRST is “to transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology leaders.”

The notion of mortality has plagued humans since the dawn of time. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is familiar with this notion more than most people. Shot nine times in 2000, 50 Cent is lucky to be alive.
Unlike other gun violence victims, he got another chance at life and he has not wasted it.
Trying to build on his Billboard dominance of the early 2000s, 50 cent released his first mix tape since his 2009 studio album “Before I Self Destruct.”
Released only on the Internet in December, 50’s mix tape “The Big 10” had an aura of failure surrounding it. Following the major letdown of “Before I Self Destruct,” “The Big 10” had to prove that 50 could still hang with the new, younger rappers.

On March 23, hundreds gathered for the “Stand Up For Religious Freedom” rally at the Pete Domenici Federal Courthouse Plaza in Albuquerque for an hour of speeches and songs.
This was just one of the rallies scheduled on this day in 143 cities across the nation, including Alaska and Hawaii.
The rallies were held to protest the Federal Government Department of Health and Human Services health care mandate.
The mandate requires all employers to provide in their employee health care plans, some products and services, which are contradictory to the religious and moral beliefs and practices of that employer.
