Current Events

In this news this week,

• A gunman drove from California to D.C. and opened fire in a Pentagon metro station. (there are two separate links there, one to a video and one to an article in case you have trouble viewing the video.)
  

• Iraqi voters brave the blasts to make it to the polls this week.

• Toyota is still trying to dig itself out of a hole.

• The cold spell in Florida caused a tomato shortage.

• Here is an interesting story about female Marines in Afghanistan.

After the current events quiz on Monday, we will have a quick review of Ch18Sec2 ("The Industrialized Democracies after WWII") and then an open-book quiz. These two scores will be the last grades in Skyward before progress reports go out (they are due at 3:00 p.m.)

Hope you all are having a good weekend -- get out there and enjoy that sunshine!
