Happy last day before Christmas Break! Today's schedule is:

B Block Physical Geography 12 - Today we will finish Twister  Remember you need to identify meteorological errors (look at the "goofs" section on the IMDb website or "Here's everything they got Wrong") and you need to figure out who is most like Mr. Young.

Alan Ruck is Robert Nurick "Rabbit" (and Ferris Bueller's friend Cameron too!)
Bill Paxton is Bill Harding "the Extreme"
Helen Hunt is Dr. Jo Harding
Philip Seymour Hoffman is Dustin Davis "Dusty"

Please respond to this post with your answers to who you think is most like me and make sure you explain why. To look at some real storm chasers check out the Discovery Channel Storm Chasers web site and remember...


D Block Criminology 12 - Today we finish the Casey Anthony trial coverage from 2011 in the USA.  HLN's Nancy Grace covered the Casey Anthony trial heavily in 2011. After the verdict here's what she had to say - which further shaped the public's opinion of Casey Anthony even after she was found not guilty by a jury of her peers


Now, here's what the media had to say about the media covering the Casey Anthony trial


Does the trial have a longer lasting impact on the USA or was it just 15 minutes of fame and a distraction from mundane daily life? Because of her actions, Nancy Grace has been spoofed on SNL and MadTV to name just two




HBO had a television series called The Newsroom and they had an amazing bit on Nancy Grace's coverage of Tot Mom...

CNN did a retrospective piece on the trial here



Whew...so in the end here's my last question for you to answer:
  1. Who would you want deciding your guilt or innocence? A jury of your peers or CNN and Nancy Grace? Regardless of your opinion of Casey Anthony is it possible for her to escape the negative label of "Tot Mom" and will she ever be able to avoid the horrible mother image presented by CNN and Nancy Grace?
C Block Human Geography 11 -Today we'll finish the movie FOOD, INC.


Happy Break everyone...see you in 2018!
