Not happy news for you basketball fans.The NBA season was supposed to start tomorrow.Not gonna happen.The League and team monors have locked out the players.The NBA already cancelled the first two weeks of its season.Friday,the League announced that it was scrapping all of its games from the month of November.The two sides were talking about the owners and players they've been negotiating.They're working on how to split up the money the League makes.And they're trying to agree on rules for players' salaries.There're reports they are close to an agreement on something,but not on others. Last week,NBA Commissioner David Sterns said,quote,there's no deal on anything unless there's a deal on everything.
NASA plans to spend some time studying the weather and how it changes,but not from down here on earth.The agency wants to take a view from above.And that's what this is for.Two new weather satellites that launched early Friday cost 1.5 billion dollars and are designed to spend the next five years collecting information on short-term and long-term climate change.So it's going to be looking at the ocean,clouds,ice and it will do all of that from around 105 miles above the planet surface.
Today's shoutout goes up to Mr Collins and Mr Ward's social studies classes at Mahtomedi middle school and M middle soda.What is the fear of houses called?

Yes,that's my first scream.
Every night,they light up around the block in haunted houses like these across America,bring an estimated 300 million dollars a year.
The haunted house industry changed dramatically in the last 15 or 20 years.But you really need to XX 360.everything's gonna be good.And the technology is increasing.We have considered a lot of XX sophisticated characters that move.We use a lot of projections.We use a lot of illusions.So we're constantly up in the any to get customers more used to the guys jumping out.It scared them,although that is the core of what we do.
Well,that is essentially overload.We're gonna haunt the houses and XX rush.But outside.
