Top News Roundup: Week One

So, news gatherers, it’s time for your first news wrap. I will post something like this each week and you can respond with your top headlines in the comments below. A few people already put their headlines in, but I copied them into this note, so Week One News Editors, you don’t need to scrounge around looking for everyone’s posts.

Please moving forward, wait for me to post my weekly call for news and then reply to that.

See you all tomorrow.

    This story will be lost in the mix what with Haiti and all, but North Korea already is an unstable situation, and exchanging fire with South Korea will only destabilize relations even more in that area.
