Leeland Davidson, a ninety-five year old WW2 veteran, just recently discovered he was not a US citizen. Almost living in the country for one hundred years, and serving in the navy, he was on a trip going up north to Canada when an officer turned him down for having an enhanced drivers license. Leeland was born in British Columbia in 1916 and when his family moved to the United States, they never registered him to the government. At the time of enrollment to the navy, an officer said it was no big deal so Leeland just kept on keeping on. His parents were born in the united states in the 1800's, but the US didn't keep track back then so its hard to acknowledge his parents were born there. He was told if he pursues this, he could be deported and stripped of his social security.

Class Discussion Reflection..
Overall, i think our class discussion went pretty well. A lot of the issues that are holding reform back were indeed mentioned and thought of throughout the discussion. I thought it was interesting how Matt said that his former charter school was more uptight with him and his grades and appose to hear where most of the times teachers aren't like that here. He also mentioned how he thinks this school is more easier in how the subjects are taught and that may lead to average scores on tests etc. Another topic that i thought was interesting was the double school, split the school in day and night sessions, similar to college. Many people seemed like they didn't like the idea, i personally wouldn't mind, but i came to a quick conclusion that it would just make things more chaotic and unorganized. The typical student in our school is a rather average lazy student. They have the potential, ( anyone does) to receive excellent grades, but they take it for granted and want to simply ease through high-school. Granted, no one is perfect and i admit there have been classes in my past and in my present that i could do much better in and i know i can, but i simply dont achieve it. Then when i realize it, its potentially to late.

Criminal Record for Bus Driver..!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42070669/ns/us_news-life/
The bus driver who crashed the bus killing fifteen people apparently had criminal records in the past. Ophadell Williams the forty year old driver, had been charged with other felonies in his past. His most recent incident was in 2003 for driving with a suspended license and stolen police radios. The year before that he was completing a three year sentence for grand larceny in which he removed a 83,905 dollar check from a Police Athletic League Fund. In 1987, he was arrested for trying to get on a bus without paying. Through the years, Williams has been involved with the law and wasnt the brightest person to trust in driving a bus. I don't personally know if he had changed his life around and been going on the right track, but he was the driver that killed 15 people.

NFL LOCKOUT..!
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/03/12/the-lockout-has-officially-begun/related
The NFL Owners and the Players Union entered a lockout, despite weeks and weeks of meetings. This is the first work stoppage in the Nfl since 1987. Its rather unfortunate, because of the popularity that the sport brings, and potentially no football in the 2011-2012 season. The leagues most famous players Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are suing NFL owners in an attempt to possibly get an agreement done. There are many topics that are talked about in those meetings, how will the league divide 9 billion dollars, a proposed 18 game schedule, and health care benfits for retired players. All in All, it is a very difficult process for both sides to agree on.

82% percent of Schools maybe labeled as "Failing"
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41992391/ns/us_news-life/
Based on the No Child Left Behind Campaign, the Department of Education has stated that there may be a forty-five percent increase of schools in which kids fail to score proficient in math and English. An official for the department openly said that " This law has created a thousand ways for schools to fail and very few ways for them to succeed." Both parties agreed that there should be some sort of reform, one way could be that the schools who don't do so well are going to result in "intervention". School officials from across the nation fear that schools who continue to fail will eventually lead up to "unmanageable" environments.

It cost the city 100,000 dollars for them to clean up the mass million dead fish. Local fish like seals have been feeding of the dead bodies.

Border Patrol and Mex Cartels are constantly at games..!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/41896099#41896099
Texas border patrol is routinely fighting Mexican cartels in the drug smuggling war. Border patrol officials confiscated 400,000 pounds of weed and now the Mexican Cartels are aware of the patrol agents presence around there. That doesn't stop the Cartel members from trying to smuggle drugs as they keep on insisting both day and night. Its a constant game of cat and mouse and it hasn't been this bad ever said one official.
