CNN Student News - Apr. 13, 2007.doc

DANIELLE ELIAS, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: We're wrapping up the week on CNN Student News and we're glad to have you with us. I'm Danielle Elias. An unexpected attack: A suicide bomber sets off a deadly blast inside Baghdad's Green Zone. An annual filing: We give you the breakdown on where your tax dollars are likely to be headed. And a technology tournament: Thousands of teens compete to see who can build the best robot.

First Up: Green Zone Attack

ELIAS: First up, a deadly attack in Baghdad. People are recovering today from a suicide bombing inside Iraq's Green Zone. The area has been considered one of the safest locations in the Iraqi capital, but a bomber got into the heavily fortified area Thursday and set off an explosion in the cafeteria of Iraq's parliament building. The blast killed at least eight people and wounded twenty others. Arwa Damon has more on the shocking attack.

ARWA DAMON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The panic and chaos painfully evident in these images as the cameraman tries to make his way through the thick smoke and debris. A suicide bomb attack as formidable in its audacity as it was in effectiveness -- striking at the very pillar of Iraq's fledgling democracy -- its parliament. Penetrating the often dubbed "Fortress Baghdad" -- the heavily fortified "Green Zone."

DAMON: The bomber would have had to sneak past U.S. checkpoints, Iraqi security forces, and private western security companies -- and avoid detection by bomb-sniffing dogs and x-ray machines.

DAMON: The attack took place at the cafeteria -- right after the day's session came to an end -- where members were convening for lunch. The U.S. military points the finger at al Qaeda, known for its sophistication and ability to constantly defy heavy security.

MAJ. GEN. WILLIAM CALDWELL, SPOKESMAN, MULTINATIONAL FORCE - IRAQ: It is very very challenging to stop somebody who's willing to give their life to try and take somebody else's life.

DAMON: The insurgency's message clear -- it can infiltrate and strike anywhere. Earlier a suicide truck bomber strategically detonated, collapsing one of Northern Baghdad's major bridges sending vehicles toppling into the Tigris River. Divers searched the waters for survivors.

DAMON: Iraqis we spoke to following these attacks said they were simply frustrated and saddened -- one woman saying that this was just proof that no one was safe and a clear indication the a government that is powerless to save itself is powerless to save its people. Arwa Damon, CNN, Baghdad.

Week in Review

ELIAS: Baghdad, where those attacks took place, fell to the U.S.-led coalition four years ago. A protest that marked the anniversary and the controversy surrounding radio host Don Imus are part of our Week in Review. Teachers, you may want to preview this segment.

Today's Week in Review brings your class the images of stories that made headlines this week. Included here is a brief description of each topic:

An unseasonable cold snap made Easter weekend feel a lot more like Christmas for millions of Americans. Record low temperatures and snowfalls were reported. And blustery conditions caused umpires to cancel a Cleveland Indians Major League Baseball game, which one young fan described as the "worst home opener" that ever was. The bone-chilling cold stretched even as far south as Augusta, Georgia, where freezing temperatures and high winds were blamed for some of the worst scores the Masters golf tournament had seen in years.

Monday, April 9 marked the four-year anniversary of the fall of Baghdad, Iraq to the U.S.-led coalition. In 2003, the Iraqi capital was brimming with thousands of celebrants who hailed the toppling of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's statue. But this year, the thousands who turned out in the Iraqi city of Najaf were not celebrating; they were answering the call of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr to protest the U.S. presence in Iraq. The White House characterized the demonstration as an exercise of free speech and an example of progress in Iraq, but critics saw the protest as another reason to end the war.

Google Earth is teaming up with the American Holocaust Memorial Museum to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan. The Sudanese government is accused of backing militia blamed for murdering tens of thousands of people, burning homes and crops, and destroying water sources. Google Earth has combined photographs of the destruction with information about the crisis to increase public awareness and galvanize support for an international peacekeeping mission in the African country. The Sudanese government so far has rejected a U.N. peacekeeping force in the region.

President Bush traveled to Yuma, Arizona -- the site of a new Border Patrol station -- to promote an overhaul of U.S. immigration law. The president's plan would create a temporary guest-worker program and enable millions of illegal immigrants to work toward legal resident status. He also called for tighter security along the U.S.-Mexico border and tougher penalties for companies that hire illegal immigrants.

Radio shock jock Don Imus is losing his job over highly controversial comments he made about the Rutgers University women's basketball team. Imus ignited a firestorm of criticism the day after Rutgers lost the NCAA championship to the University of Tennessee. He described the Rutgers team, which includes eight African-American players, as "nappy-headed hos." Businesses pulled their advertisements from Imus' radio show, MSNBC canceled its simulcast of the program, and several officials -- including civil rights leaders Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson -- called for Imus to be fired. They got their wish on Thursday, when CBS radio announced it would cancel "Imus in the Morning." Imus has repeatedly apologized for his remarks, calling them "completely inappropriate."

Shoutout

RACHAEL RICHARDSON, CNN STUDENT NEWS: Time for the Shoutout: Today's Shoutout goes out to Mr. Lahr's 7th grade Social Studies class at North Junior High School in Saint Cloud, Minnesota! Which of these words means unclear, vague, or hazy? If you think you know it, shout it out! Is it: A) Nebulous B) Gregarious C) Vitriolic D) Moot? You've got three seconds -- GO! The word "nebulous" has its roots in a word meaning cloudy or foggy. That's your answer and that's your Shoutout!

Tax Time!

ELIAS: Whether you're new to the job market or been pulling in a paycheck for a few years, the taxes taken out of your salary might be a nebulous concept. So with the filing deadline coming up next week, Carl Azuz breaks down the numbers on where your tax dollars go.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS: It can mean long lines -- Lots of stress -- And obscenities aimed at the IRS. But since taxes are said to be one of the two certainties of life -- the other being death -- you may as well know how your tax dollars are being spent. Here's an estimate of how the government spent your tax money in '06: Health and medical care got the biggest piece of the pie, accounting for 23 percent of our tax dollars. Social Security was second, with 21 percent. And national defense, third, with 19 percent. Income security accounted for 14 percent; debt interest, 8 percent -- and that nebulous "other" column took up 5 percent. Education got 4 percent-- and both veterans care and commerce and transportation netted 3 percent of the pie.

AZUZ: Now here are some quick facts from Taxfoundation.org: The site says Americans work 79 days of the year to pay their federal taxes! Housing and running those houses come in second place, taking up 62 days of work. And this is kinda interesting: We work 30 days a year for our food and 13 days for our clothes and accessories. That adds up this tax-time report. I'm Carl Azuz for CNN Student News.

RICHARDSON: Now that you know where your taxes end up, why not find out where they started? We've got an Extra! that gives you some background on taxes, including the constitutional amendment that brought them into being. Check it out at CNN.com/EDUCATION.

Rockin' Robots

ELIAS: Building your very own robot may seem like a cool idea until you get lost in a maze of wires and circuits. But for thousands of teenagers from around the world, the FIRST Robotics Competition offers the opportunity to show off their technological know-how. Reynolds Wolf visited two teams competing in the event to see how they put the pieces together.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

REYNOLDS WOLF, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It's a slam dunk at Atlanta's Carver School of Technology. A slam dunk, the high tech kind.

STUDENT: It's gonna pull it up from here.

WOLF: The Carver "Hypno-bots" made it to the National Robotics Finals .

THOMAS HAYES, CARVER TECHNOLOGY HIGH SCHOOL: This is a very good opportunity for me to get hands on and also see my creations at work.

AKANIMO EFFANG, CARVER TECHNOLOGY H.S.: The way we fix problems, we can actually test it and see what the problem is and add on to that basic idea.

WOLF: Coaches Kelsey Holec and Regene Logan say the "team approach" is a great way for the kids to learn.

KELSEY HOLEC, CARVER ROBOTICS COACH: With this there's an immediate feedback. Either it works or it doesn't work; they immediately see a result.

REGENE LOGAN, CARVER ROBOTICS COACH: They help each other out. they really are a big family. They just want to be the engineers of tomorrow.

WOLF: A team mentor says that there's more to it than just winning.

MICAH BECKMAN, ROBOTICS MENTOR: It's not even about the robot really. It's about hard work and effort.

WOLF: Kids from Milton High School in Alpharetta, Georgia, are veterans of the "FIRST" Robotics Competition.

RYAN GULA, MILTON H.S., ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA: Just the ability to like, know that you're making something from scratch, and then being able to watch it and drive it and look at it, and know that you made it.

WOLF: Coach Suzy Crowe loves to break stereotypes about technology being "difficult" and "boring".

SUZY CROWE, MILTON H.S. ROBOTICS COACH: I don't think a lot of people think of science and technology as creative and there's nothing more creative.

ERIN MCPHERSON, MILTON H.S.: I really didn't think I was very good at math or science, and then I started doing this, and pretty much my focus has shifted entirely, like I think, I want to go to Georgia Tech and probably major in computer science.

WOLF: These smart kids compete in the global finals Saturday. Reynolds Wolf, CNN, Atlanta.

Before We Go

ELIAS: Before we go, if you've seen a calendar today, you may be feeling frightened. Yes, it's Friday the 13th as you can see right here on the calendar, the dreaded date that spawned a series of horror movies. Friday and 13 both have legacies of bad luck based on folklore and superstitions. In fact, there's even a phobia of the number 13: triskaidekaphobia. Put the fright of Friday with the threat of 13, and it may just paralyze some people with fear.

Goodbye

ELIAS: Hopefully Friday the 13th won't scare off any of those teens in the robotics competition. And we hope it'll be a fright free weekend for all of you. Thanks for watching. I'm Danielle Elias.
