Our thoughts and prayers

go out to the families of yesterday's victims.  Two events, one in the Connecticut; the other in China.  Be sure to tell your loved ones today that you love them as we know how fragile life can be.

Egypt

The president attempted to pass a bill that would give him absolute power.  Feel free to expand on what happened this week and/or the events leading up to the week.  What was the response of the public?  What are they asking for?  What is the president's plan for that country?

North Korea

Launched a missile this week.  Dig in, find out the details, find out the implications.  What will this mean to the rest of the world going forward?

Northern Gateway Pipeline

We discussed in class yesterday - be sure to check out the Tipping Barrels surf video if you were away in order to get an overview of the beauty of the area. 

Hearings (government) are resuming today.  Read article first, then comment:
