First up. Severe weather in the Dallas, Texas area. Several tornadoes2 touched down there yesterday afternoon. Officials urged people to take cover, and they had good reason. As it's a little hot to see clearly because the clouds from the storms made it so dark, but you're going to see a large object right there in the middle of the right circle. That thing flying around is a tracctor-trailor. And it's not the only one. Several trailors flying around in this vedio. The tornado1 picked them up and tossed them all over the place like they were just toys. Reports also indicated wide and broad damage to homes and other buildings in the area, all flies the Dallas Fortwork Airport were grounded passengers and airport employees were moved into their shelters. Yesterday afternoon officials were trying to figure out how much damage has been caused.
1144 delegates, that is the finish line in this year's race for the Republican presidential nomination3. On Monday former Massachusetts's governor Mitt4 Romney had the most delegates. There are more for grabs on Tuesday. Maryland and Washington DC have primary elections so it is with Wisconsin and thatstate was the biggest prize yesterday. 42 delegates, all going to the candidate that got the most votes.Governor Romney sounded calm heading into Tuesday's contests.
It feels better and better. The support to my campaign is going stronger and stronger. And this is up to you battle for me, if you feel like battle for you for weeks, and and now we'll look when we can get to win this thing.
Former senator Rickson Tuoram who has the second most delegates among the Republican candidates says the race isn't over. He's looking ahead.
The month of May is rich of delegetes and are strong states for us. Those of the states that we know we can get this back, right back towards where it was right now, which is the last call so that when Mitt Romney and the upondance suspending, it's a very close race and by the end of May, we expect this race to be very close to about even.

Today's shoutout goes out to Ms. Jones's classes at Inmore high school, End... North Carolina. Which Nobel peace prize winner gave a famous speech called I've been to the mountain top. Was it Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, Mother Terressa, or Martin Luther King Jr.? You've got three seconds. Go. I've been to the mountain top was the title of Martin Luther King Jr.'s final speech. That's your sanswer, and that's your shoutout.
Doctor King made that speech at Memphis Tennessee on April the 3rd 1968. In the speech he talked about the fight for equality, saying quote, I've seen the promised land, I might not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as people will get to the promised land. King's words turned out to be prophetic. He was assassinated6 24 hours later. Martin Luther King Jr. was 39 years old when he died. His work with US civil rights movement earned him that Nobel peace prize. When he won it in 1964 he was the youngest person ever to get one. There are events planned all around the US today. The anniversary of his death to honor Doctor King and his legacy7.
Shifting gears now. When you apply to college the first question is usually will I get in. For a lot of students and their families the next question is how I pay for it. You'll get a prize for scholarships and loans. The Christian8 Romans talked with a journalist who has some tips on how to cut costs on campus.
More than 22000 dollars is likely you need to attend an average public college this year. At a private college the average price is twice that. Where can you come up with all that money? The April issue of money magazine on campus 25 cigarettes paying for college came quite to the senior writer as money who covered the story. You see that kids cannot cut living expenses that they can take teach cheaper courses is either two important ways to cost cuts.
Right, when you look at that 22000 dollars, a number people don't realize that's about a 9 and 10 thousand of that, that's a living cost, that agree will cut your expenses. Then one way to do that for example, is to ask for maybe less rating dorms, the standard dorms is, no share with another person if you ask to trip upper quite to upper quite to you can save 1000 to 2000 dollars. Another way is to do some chores. There are coops since scholarship houses where you were 4 or 5 dollars a week, and you save huge amount of money. This scholarship houses around the university in Florida, they say cuts only 2000 dollars a year for room in board and that's 6000 dollars a year ...
And you can take cheaper courses, how did you do that?
Right, a lot of schools are offering discount tuition on summer school and of course you can get prerex at the way by taking EP classes or community college courses.
That's really good advice. You know that 40 percent of the kids who get to school, get to college, still need some medium mothery. That community ...
Let's so do that first if we not way to the money and more expensive courses. Thank you very much.
