Tornado slams downtown Atlanta, injuring at least 77; 1 dead in separate Georgia stonn Bv ERRIN HAINES ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ATLANTA Storms killed one person Saturday in nonhwest Georgia. less than 24 hours after a .tornado with wind up to 130 mph cut a 6-mile path through downtown Atlanta, blowing windows out of skyscrapers · and injuring dozens. More thunderstorms headed across -northern Alabama toward 'the city Saturday. "We're bracing for another round of whatever mother nature throws at us," said Lisa Janak of the state emergency management agency. A tornado touched down Saturday in Polk County on the Alabama line, killing one person, Janak said. She had no other details, and the National Weather Service had not confirmed the second tornado. At least 27 people were hurt Friday night, though no injuries were believed to be life-threatening. Crews hauled broken glass and furniture out of streets downtown, where all events scheduled for Saturday were canceled, including the St. Patrick's . Dax Rarade. ' It s a mess," Janak said. Weather service ofticials contirmed Saturday that a tornado hit around 9:40 p.m. as a thunderstorm · roared through with wind up to 60 mph, about I 0 minutes after the weather service issued a tornado warnmg. There had been only a "light risk" in the area Friday for thunderstorms capable of producing strong tornadoes and very large hail, said Trisha Palmer, a weather service meteorolo: gist. in nearby Peachtree City. In contrast, the risk was rated as moderate Saturday north Georgia and upstate South Carolina. The storm smashed hundreds of skyscraper windows, blew furniture and luggage out of hotel rooms, crumbled part of an apartment building and rattled a packed sports arena. Streets around the Georgia Dome, Phillips Arena, the CNN Center and Centennial Olympic Park were · littered with glass, downed power lines, bricks, insulation and the occasional office chair. Billboards collapsed onto parked cars. Curious onlookers fanned out across the city taking pictures and surveying the damage in their neighborhoods. Mayor Shirley Franklin urged people to stay indoors unless , performing essential tasks like checking on family or property. "Do not use this as an opportunity for sightseeing," Franklin said. "It is not as if something happened last night and everything is over. Our challenge is getting people to under. stand that this is a serious emergency response effort." Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John Oxendine estimated damage from FridaY. night's storm at $150 11111lion to $200 m.illion, mosi of it at the Georgia World Congress Center, a state convention facility near the CNN Center and the Georgia Dome.

Republican state Rep Courtney Combs of Hamilton suggested the policy a day after authorities in Butler County arrested several . employees at three used-car dealerShips, accusing them of selling fake IDs to illegal immigrants and doctoring other documents to help them buy vehicles illegally. "I can't stop you from buy' ing a car. I think that would be unconstitutional; you have a right to buy anything you want, as lorlg as you have the money," Combs said Friday. "But what I can do is stop you from obtaining a tag or license to put on that car." He said his office has asked the Ohio Legislative Services Commission to research and draft a bill that would require proof of citizenship or legal immigration status before a motorist could receive a license plate or temporary tag.

Because both careers require similar courses, the Rio Grande program was set up to allow students to earn c.ertificates in both areas if they choose. Students can choose to only be .trained as a pharmacy technician, only as •a ruedieal transcriptionist or both. Area residents only have until April 15 to apply for the program for the 2008-09 school year, though, and McNeill encourages interested area residents to call her at 245-7448 or (800) 282-7201, or e-mail her at ·cmneill@rio.edu for more information on the program or for information on how to register. · ent countries on campus this year, and one special class on campus has stepped up to help the international students in a variety of ways.

Heather Brooks, a post-secondary option (PSO) student from Eastern High School, and Lauren Black, a PSO student from Gallia Academy High School, are two of the students in the intercultural communications class. They explained that they speak Spanish to the international students who speak that language, and take part in a variety of projects with them. Sometimes the students meet with the international students for meals in the cafeteria, and other times they go shopping with them or attend campus events. "It's a fun class," Black said. "We talk about our culture with them, and they tell us about their cultures," Brooks added. . Black is working with two students from Serbia, and said she takes them to the store, has them over at her family's home for dinner and spends a lot of time with them. Two of the students that Brooks works with are from Puerto Rico, and she often speaks in Spanish with them. The Puerto Rican students appreciate someone speaking their language, and Brooks said that her "I have learned more Spanish this semester than .I have ever learned," Brooks said. Black added that the international students taking part in the program have also improved their English, and.that they have fun in the program as well. The students she works with from Serbia, for example, have told her how much they enjoy her family's ,homecooked meals. Elliott said the class is a great opportunity for Rio Grande students to learn about cultures from around the world, while also helping the international students to feel welcome on ' Grande student frpm · Columbia. The students in Elliott's class have helped her with· her English while also helping her adapt to life at Rio Grande, Fallon said. She feels thankful to be able to talk with and receive assistance from the students in the intercultural communications class, Fallon said.

Then, then when it builds back up, it is stronger. Most work activities use multiple muscle groups at a time and don't fatigue individual muscles.
