1. According to the program, the challenges that the U.S. Congress are facing as it begins its new session are controversy, confirmations, and cash flow.

2. In my opinion, the political issues, in addition to those discussed in the report, that should be priorities for the 111th Congress are more economic problems because many people in today's society are struggling from the harsh economy.

3. According to the segment, the status of the open U.S. Senate seats from Illinois and Minnesota are that in Minnesota, the vote is being challenged because there was only a difference of 225 votes. And in Illinois, the supposed Senate seat for a man was turned away.

4. I think the possible outcomes for the controversies surrounding both of these open Senate seats will be having a recount and in Minnesota, they will either have a reelection or give way to the man.

5. The opinions that the students in Tony Harris's report express regarding college expenses are that things are going to get more creative, kids are going to start caring more, and kids first college choices aren't going to be the ones they attend.

6. My educational plans after high school are to go to college and possibly becoming an anesthesiologist. :)
My plans haven't changed because of my economic crisis. I'm still living up to my dreams.

7. According to the report, the high-profile Twitter users that were the victims of a recent hacker attack were Obama, Britney Spears, and Rick Sanchez (from CNN News).
These attacks were taken place by individuals who hacked in to some of the tools their user support team uses to help people.

8. I think that the hackers chose these specific accounts because they wanted to affect the minds of people and change their opinions about them.
In my opinion, the hackers hoped to achieve attention to everyone and make life harder for these people by tampering with these accounts.

9. The impact that I think that these attacks might have on the owners of these accounts and their use of Twitter is that people may start deleting their accounts just so this doesn't happen to them.
I don't think that the incident could have a widespread effect on the Twitter community because they've easily already solved the problem and everything is back to normal again.

10. Yes, I do have a social networking site, but I'm not concerned about hackers because I don't reveal any personal information that could cause harm to me or my friends/ family.
I don't really take precautions, but I do watch what it is that I post and watcha the thing I say.
