Homework: Read the blog! Next news brief: Idi.
News Brief: Andrew had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: WashingtonPost.com - Morning Mix Another American died in the Dominican Republic. Officials insist the country is safe.. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Idi was assigned to do the next news brief.
As part of the news brief, we also watched the one minute BBC World News update. Here's the link to see the latest one minute update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):

The majority of class was given to presentations and taking notes on them. Any presentations that were left at the end of class will have to go on finals day, later this week - though Mr. Puterbaugh and I also have plenty of other fun/memorable activities planned, as well. We are looking forward to seeing you! One more class to go!
