In National News…
 The House of Republicans decided to terminate the Obama administration’s program to

reduce mortgage payments for homeowners in danger of losing their homes to

foreclosure on Tuesday. After much talk from Republicans and Democrats, The White

House said in a statement that if the bill ever reached President Barack Obama’s desk

they would advise him veto it. The vote was 252-170. Also during this month The GOP-
 decided to kill 3 other programs aimed to reviving the struggling housing market. One of

them being that homeowners that lost their jobs or became sick that the state and local

government would buy and revamp abandoned properties.

 On Tuesday the U.S. Department of Education made a statement that Virginia Tech has

to pay the maximum fine of $55,000 (fifty five thousand dollars) for not waiting too long

to notify students and staff while the 2007 shooting was happening. The fine was the

most the federal law can give to a school for that type of violation. Because of this

matter of notifying the students and staff too late the school could have lost out on $98

million dollars in federal student aid. A spokesperson on behalf of the university said

they will appear the matter. In the statement the spokesperson goes on to say “"We

believe that Virginia Tech administrators acted appropriately in their response to the

tragic events of April 16, 2007, based on the best information then available to them at

the time".

In International News…

 World diplomats met together in London to discuss the future of the North African

nation due to the forces loyal to Libyan leader Gadhafi went into attack on Tuesday

pushing fighters back to the outskirts of the key oil area. Rebel forces moved near the

city Ras Lanuf because of the heavy artillery and rocket attacks Gadhafi had against

them. Just east the Libyan forces continued the fight to gain control over Misrata. The

day after Gadhafi's regime tried to convince journalists that it was in control of Misrata

by taking them on a trip to part of the city -- but not allowing them into the city center --

his troops were killing and wounding civilians and evicting thousands of people from
 their homes, the witness told CNN. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that

military action against Gadhafi would continue until he "ceases his attacks on civilians,

pulls his troops back from places they have forcibly entered, and allows key services and

humanitarian assistance to reach all Libyans."

 A 3 year old stormed off into the woods on Sunday morning in Denmark when his

mother told him to take off his jacket. Around lunchtime the 3 year old was still missing.

So then the mass hunt started with police, dog patrols, and military/emergency services

came to help look for the boy. To get the 3 year olds attention they went as far as to get

an ice cream truck that might get his attention, but nothing worked for the 3 year old.

As night time fell and so did the temperatures there was a call from one of the patrol

people and they said the news everyone was looking to hear…they found him He was

found by people in the nearing area about 3 miles away from where he was last seen.

 After 12 consecutive losses during the big 12 rivals Texas A&M got their win against

Baylor Tuesday night. "This was a very special game," Blair said. "We didn't ask to play

Baylor, we asked to be recognized for what we accomplished during the year. They

chose to put us in the same region. ... Both of us could have been in the Final Four, both

of us should have been in the Final Four." The Aggies (also known as Texas A&M) (31-5)
 blew a nine-point lead midway through the second half in Waco last month. Two days

before the brackets were unveiled with the conference's top two teams being the top

two seeds in the same bracket. But they pulled off their win and now are on to the next

In Entertainment…

 Teen Mom recap from last night show was one to remember. First off, Jenelle one of the

mother’s on teen mom was sent to jail but released and swore that she was at the time

done with then dead beat boyfriend Kieffer, but fans seem to think that wont last very

long. Next up with couple Corey and Leah, got hitched last nights season finale. Of

course their twin’s were in attendance at the wedding and even in the wedding as the

flower girls. Another thing that got the fans talking was where Leah’s father was. What

dad doesn’t want to walk his daughter down the aisle? Aubree’s daughter celebrated

her 1st birthday the eldest of all the teen mom babies. Aubree threw her daughter a

leopard print and pink themed party. And finally on the this season’s list of Teen Moms

was Kailyn and Jo and their son Issac, of course they couldn’t end out the season with

some much need arguing and drama. Some fans think that its not cool that the parents
 sit there and bash the other parent in front of Issac. Remember Jo and Kailyn children

have young impressionable minds.
