The half-mile wide tornado left a 30 mile track through their town. Among the damage in Arkansas was a new $14 million dollar school building that has to completely be rebuilt due to the damage.

World Explodes

The aliens from Mars made contact with the Earth this last month, threatening a explosion if the world did not give them all of their resources. The world community thinking it was all a hoax did not respond and or give the people of Mars what they needed. So as I am writing the world is blowing up, Mars has sent weapons of mass destruction to Earth. Our second strike capabilities are not equipped to attack Mars, so there is nothing that the world can do about it. Death is inevitable and the human population will never be able to recover.

She provided inspiration to people that are struggling to define their self and even said, "I will retire from the commercial market if I have to be something other than myself."  She went on to talk about her desire to stay an anti-label and pro-brand pop star. She then came up with the slogan "Don't sell out, sell in."

Co-pilot 'Hijacks' Ethiopia

The co-pilot of an Ethiopian Airlines flight hijacked the plane heading for Rome on Monday. Authorities said the co-pilot, who was around the age of 30, hijacked the plane by locking the cockpit door when the pilot left to go to the bathroom. Swiss officials said that when the plane landed in Geneva the co-pilot climbed out of the cockpit down and rope and turned himself in. He says that he was a "pirate" and feared prosecution in his own country. The flight started in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital and was carrying around 200 passengers.

Shirley Temple Passes Away

Shirley Temple Black passed away died late Monday night at the age of 85. She died of natural events at her home in California with her friends and family by her side. She began acting at the age of 3 and by the age of 10 she was earning $50,000 a movie. Her movies were popular during the 1930's but around 1940 her popularity began to fade, and Fox terminated her contract before she reached her teenage years. Shirley Temple Black was known for cork-screw curls, singing, and tap dancing. She retired from acting at age 22 and became a US diplomat from 1969-1974 and then became US ambassador for several different countries. Shirley Temple was arguably the most famous child star in Hollywood history.

David Beckham bring Soccer to Miami

Major League Soccer officially announced the expansion of their franchise on Wednesday. David Beckham is expanding the franchise to Miami, with the building of a new stadium. This is the first time an ex-athlete has joined in owning part of the franchise. The new team is said to be able to start playing 2017 or 2016 possibly. Beckham is said to have bought the company for $25 million. People believe that this is a really risky move, not even the Miami heat sell out a whole stadium, so there are doubts about soccer. Beckham although is really positive about it and thinks it will be good in the area.
