The cold weather took a while to hit the Bay Area this year. Usually, the month of October is a cold one and the weather is just perfectly chilly. Sadly, October was nowhere near cold, reaching temperatures in the 90s.

Personally, I was so tired of the warm weather because it makes me frustrated irritated. I prefer cold weather because you can always bundle up and be warm, but when it's hot, it's not really preventable. This is also the time of the year when all my favorite holidays come, like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and last but not least, Christmas. So it's a win-win situation.

The beloved “Sesame Street” Youtube channel was hacked. On Oct. 16th, the channel hacker uploaded porn to the kid-friendly page. Youtube immediately took the content down, as they always do when some thing’s offensive.

The page indicated the names of two Youtube users as the hackers, but both denied claims that they hacked the page.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The spire of the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge eastern span climbs hundreds of feet above the bay, an emerging icon of California's engineering and aesthetic prowess.

Scheduled for completion in 2013 at a projected cost of $6.3 billion, the bridge is the largest public works project in state history. Its designers placed one quality above all others: the strength to withstand the strongest anticipated earthquake.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide the fate of President Obama's health-care law and its requirement that all Americans have basic health insurance by 2014.

The justices said they would rule on constitutional challenges to the entire law brought by top Republican officials from 26 states, who contend the Democratic-controlled Congress overstepped its authority in passing the measure.

The high court is likely to rule on the issue by late June as the presidential campaign moves into high gear.

Gregorio del Pilar y Sempio (November 14, 1875—December 2, 1899) was one of the youngest generals in the Philippine Revolutionary Forces during the Philippine Revolution and the Philippine-American War. He is most known for his role and death at the Battle of Tirad Pass. Because of his youth, he was called the "Boy General."

Born on November 14, 1875 to Fernando H. del Pilar and Felipa Sempio of Bulacan, Bulacan, del Pilar was the nephew of propagandist Marcelo H. del Pilar and Toribio H. del Pilar, who was exiled to Guam for his involvement in the 1872 Cavite Mutiny.
