Spring Break CEQ Review

I know you've missed my voice, but now you can listen to it in the comfort of your own home. Click on the link below, and for the next ten minutes, I will review what you need to know about all of the top stories that occurred while we were on Spring Break.

The review includes the following topics: Iraq, Israel & Hamas, two big War on Terror trials, immigration, NCAA basketball, Dan Brown, a new old gospel, riots in France, Tom DeLay, Jill Carroll, Charles Taylor, and Abdul Raman.

WARNING: Since Shulmania is still a developing country when it comes to audio files and other such technical stuff, we are still in the process of making this helpful educational tool as efficient as it can be. So if you click on the link below and it takes a LONG time to open the Web page, that's normal for now. (It took my computer about 5 minutes to load the Web page.) You will know it is working when you see a white screen with a horizontal panel in the center that includes the following, going left to right: a volume icon, a pause button, a long line that tracks where you timewise in relation to the beginning and end, a left arrow button, a right arrow button, and a down arrow button. You will simultaneously hear my voice. If you see the screen but do not hear the voice, then make sure your computer speakers are on and your volume is not muted.

If you have read the warning and are still having trouble making this work, please waste no time! See me immediately!
