This week some international, national, and local news makes this list
5. Saw this today..Chinua Achebe died at the age of 82...he was a great author that really pushed the envelope and didn't let the fact that someone might not see his work get in the way http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/23/world/africa/chinua-achebe-nigerian-writer-dies-at-82.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
4. Seeing sequestration in action.....Provo and Ogden will lose air traffic controllers---sounds a bit scary to me since they will have to coordinate with like 10 other small airports. And Provo has large jets...this isn't just little puddle jumpers http://www.ksl.com/?sid=24504709&nid=148&title=faa-to-close-air-control-towers-in-ogden-provo&fm=home_page&s_cid=queue-7
3. Utah Governor Herbert vetoes a bill that allowed all weapons in Utah to be concealed...even if they didn't have a permit. I am really glad this was vetoed because I firmly believe in the concealed carry permits requiring safety classes--I worry what would happen without it. http://www.ksl.com/?sid=24500945&nid=757&title=gov-herbert-vetoes-constitutional-carry-bill&fm=home_page&s_cid=queue-8
2. President Obama was in Israel this week...talking to the young generation about peace--very gutsy! http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/president-obama-talks-peace-holy-land-18785879?tab=9482930§ion=1206853&playlist=18786409
1.Foiled college shooting by the roommate...that's standing up for what you believe no matter what http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/roommates-911-call-foiled-university-central-florida-massacre-18767337?tab=9482930§ion=1206853&playlist=18714558
