Commentary: Our children rejoice for the U.S. over death of Osama bin Laden

A decade ago they were toddlers, sitting in their crying mothers’ laps. Or elementary-school students, watching in fear as worry filled their teachers’ faces.

They might not have understood what happened on that horrible fall day in 2001. But they do now.

Our children were so young when the towers collapsed, the Pentagon burned and an airplane fell from the sky. They knew we were heartbroken, but didn’t fully comprehend why. They saw the startling images on the news, but couldn’t grasp the entirety of the horror.

Qazwini called bin Laden "the world's most infamous thug."

Applauding Navy Seal Team 6 kill shot of Osama bin Laden

Navy Seal Team 6 in wee hours of Sunday shot and killed Osama bin Laden in a fortress-like compound.  The compound was around one kilometer (half a mile) away from the Kakul Military Academy, an army-run institution for top officers and one of several military installations.  It was built in 2005 at the end of a narrow dirt road with “extraordinary” security measures. The compound had 12 to 18-feet walls topped with barbed wire with two security gates and no telephone or Internet service connected to it. It raises questions over whether Pakistani security forces knew the whereabouts of the world’s most wanted man.

Now is the TIME for questioning. . .

The reports started coming in more than a month ago: Osama bin Laden was on the move, and the U.S. had its eye on him. Stressed by the turmoil sweeping his part of the world – tumult he had no roll in sparking – bin Laden was trying to bolster al Qaeda's credibility as young people Tweeted and Facebooked about a future that didn't involve him, or al Qaeda.

An intelligence source told CBS News that the intelligence community is exploring information obtained during the raid on bin Laden's compound in an attempt to learn al Qaeda intentions and the identity and whereabouts of al Qaeda key players.

My Word: Immigration sinkhole

Imagine Florida's undocumented immigrants leaving the state. Fields and groves would fill with rotting produce and fruit for lack of workers to harvest them. Resorts would empty of angry vacationers as house staff would be stretched too thin to give premium service. Construction projects would get delayed because the day laborers pool would dry up. College classes would be dropped because student enrollments would fall off.

Eighteen immigrants take oath to become U.S. citizens

Daniel McCarty came to the U.S. from Canada 13 years ago as a self-described college student with "absolutely nothing." Today, he describes the life he's built here quite differently, one that now includes a home, a family and his own business.
McCarty said he owes it all to the opportunities he's found in America, which is why on Monday he expressed much gratitude after becoming a U.S. citizen during a naturalization ceremony at the Rush H. Limbaugh Sr. U.S. Courthouse in Cape Girardeau.
"It's such a privilege for me to be a part of this," said McCarty, who lives in Poplar Bluff, Mo. "The opportunities available here are incredible. I just wanted to be a part of such a great country."

OK's Anti-Immigration Proposal On The Move

An Oklahoma anti-immigration proposal is one step closer to moving to the governor’s desk but there’s still a lot of debate.

To make deadline, the Senate killed a few amendments and need to come up with a title for HB1446.

It’s written like the Arizona law that gives police more power to arrest illegal immigrants and seize property used to commit immigration-related crimes.

However, only law enforcement that are authorized by the federal government to verify citizenship, such as 287-G. The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office is the only law enforcement agency who is federally certified to check citizenship status.

Illegal Immigrant Fatally Shot, Another Wounded in Arizona By Joshua Rhett Miller

An illegal immigrant -- one of 15 who had just crossed the border into the U.S. from Mexico -- was seriously wounded in an attack by a gang of suspected drug traffickers at a rest stop in Arizona's Pinal County early Thursday, police told FoxNews.com.

The same group may be responsible for the shooting death of another unidentified man believed to be an illegal immigrant who was later found fatally shot in the same area, a rest stop near mile post 150 and Interstate 8 near Antelope Peak, about 25 miles west of Casa Grande, Pinal County Sheriff's spokesman Tim Gaffney said.

"[The victim] said he was with 14 others from Mexico when they stopped at a rest area near Antelope Peak," Gaffney told FoxNews.com. "While resting, an unknown group of individuals walked up on them and opened fire."

This is probably the best part of my senior year! If you seniors have not recieved this take a look at it. This is a great way to not just live life, but express my creativity! Make sure all you seniors do this! This is amazing! Now you have to remeber tho. Another part of spontaneous acts, are the consequences there of! Heed my warning there ARE pros and cons to all your actions!

CARPE DIEM!! SEIZE THE DAY!!

OR

“How to Get More Joy Out of Life”

Instructions:  Over the next three weeks you will be indulging in a number of activities directly designed to help you make the most of your youth and time.  As seniors, you risk growing rather stuffy and boring with your advancing maturity, and just to make sure that you stave off the inevitable for a few weeks longer, I’m requiring that you do the following assignments.

   Complete at least 11 (that’s ELEVEN) Carpe Diem activities, choosing the prescribed number from each category.

   Document each activity.  If it is done at school, I should see it.  If you can take a picture, do it.

   Each activity will also need to be accompanied by a 100-word description of the event, and how the experience affected you.  If you have no evidence of the experience (i.e. no ticket stub, picture, Xerox copy of a letter), then you will need to write a 200-250-word response describing your activity.

   All documentation and writing will need to be kept in a Carpe Diem Journal*, which will be turned in for a total grade at the end of the three weeks.  Your journal can be hand-made or purchased, but all information must be secured and self-contained. 

      The points you earn will be dependent upon the point values of the activities you select.  Your goal is for your points to add up to 100 so choose some things from the bottom three categories.  I will award up to 25 points extra credit for completing more than the minimum 11 activities required.  Extra credit should be included with your journal also.

*There are 3 options for your journal: An actual journal as described above, a Power Point presentation, or a poster. A Power Point presentation must have all journal writing included. It must have a picture for each activity, and at least 12 slides. A poster must be completely decorated and covered. Please attach writings to your poster. Any illegal activity portrayed on your poster may result in a severe grade reduction! This is due Friday, May 8. Your activities should be highlighted and all points counted.

The best you have

And the best will come back to you!
