Home- On Mon. May 5, a student at Quince Orchard High School used their cell phone to record a video which they posted on Twitter, potentially invalidating the AP Psychology exams of around 275 students. The AP College Board is currently reviewing the case, reported to them by principal Carole A. Working, and deciding whether to cancel the AP test scores since cell phones, smartphones and other electronic devices are prohibited during AP exams. (Source: AP)

United States- On Mon. May 6, three women, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, were finally rescued after spending years in captivity having vanished over a decade ago. The trio was found in a Cleveland home owned by Ariel Castro, 52, a former school bus driver. The women were rescued when Berry, 27, called to a neighbor, Charles Ramsey, while her captor was out and she was still in the house. He heard her cry for help, kicked down the door and helped her call 911. A six-year-old girl was also found in the house, believed to be Berry’s daughter. It has also been confirmed that Ariel Castro is the father, as the child was born in captivity. (Source: Washington Post)

Globe- On Sun. May 5, Israeli war planes bombed the outskirts of Damascus for the second time in recent days, according to Syrian state media. This bombing showed a sharp escalation in tensions between the two nations already in conflict due to the war in Syria. However, Israeli officials reported that the target was a shipment of advanced long-range missiles headed to Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group which is a supporter of the Assad regime, as well as an outspoken enemy of Israel.
