 **Nov. 15, 2009  Miami vs. Chicago vs. National   This graph has many differences between Miami, Chicago, and National. Between the three paces, Miami has more crimes in each category except robbery and murder. Chicago is higher than both Miami and National in both of those crimes. Miami is at the top, or close to the top in each crime category. That tells you that Miami has many crimes. I think that is partly because Miami is a very big city. Miami has a lot of auto theft, and Chicago does not have as much. That is probably because Chicago has more bus, subway, and train transportation rather than having as many cars as Miami. This graph shows that both Miami and Chicago have many crimes. 

Miami vs. Los Angeles vs. National  In most of the crime categories Miami is fairly higher than both L.A. and National. L.a. doesn't have much assault, burglary, or theft, but has almost as much murder as Miami. In this graph, Miami has had more of everything than L.A. and National have had. If I compared this graph with the previous one, Miami would have the most overall, then Chicago, then L.A. Los Angeles has a lot of murder, robbery, and auto theft, but still not as much as Miami. This graph shows that L.A. is dangerous, but safer than Miami.   Miami vs. Portsmouth vs. National   This graph shows nothing in Portsmouth for murder, but Portsmouth is pretty high in theft. It is also about the same hight as National in theft. Portsmouth does not have much of any other crimes. Miami is at the same place in each category, which is at the top of the graph. National is higher than Portsmouth in each category, but still is quite low. The graph is showing that Portsmouth is a very safe place.

1. Bottles are made of amorphous solids because they can hold liquids more easily, and they will hold their shape for long time unless physically changed.

2. The melting point would be around the same temperature as when it gets soft.

3. The parison's viscosity is high because it is all pressed together so it has a resistance of flowing.

4. Glass has to be cooled down a lot to be glass instead of melted glass, so thats why i think it is called

I believe Herbie is non-living. Things that are living always grow and change, and eventually die. Herbie does not need oxygen, sunlight, and water. Anything that is living does need that.

Is the apple living, or non living? The apple is not living because it has been picked from the tree already. It used to be living but not any more. It doesn't grow or change, and it cannot die, so therefore it is not living. **
