Man sucked up by tornado and spit out.

"Operation was designed to kill bin Laden, source says"
CNN wire staff. CNN.com. 2 May 2011.

The mastermind behind the attack on the twin towers, which started this war we've been in for the past 10 years, is finally dead. In an attack meant to kill him not take him alive during a firefight osama was shot in the head. Now a problem is about wether or not there'd be a terrorist attack for revenge. I dont think this will change anything, if it ended the war and the troops would come home then that'd be great but i doubt that'd be the case.

classroom discussion reflection.

This last discussion on immigration was more intense than the previous. I heard alot of good rebuttals and opinions from some students who rarely talk, as well as the ones who always do. People were more opinionated this time and even though we could have broadened the topics relating to it all in all i think we had a good discussion.
