Week 11

This was an extrememly sad story and it's devastating to hear this kind of new.  Also, I don't think the author did a very good job of writing the article.  It was to blunt and straight forward, and also very repetative.  I think a story like this requires a writer to can emotionally appeal to the sensitivity of the readers.

Week 10

I am happy about this change.  I think that when there are over 100 awards to be won competition isn't as stiff, which is boring.  I know that alot of people will be unhappy about this change because some of their favorite artists will have a smaller chance of winning an award, but what fun is an industry that isn't competitive?

Week 9

Ok, either someone is trying to make some serious money or he is telling the truth and another part of this great nation has gone to complete crap.  When there is a simple way to become an American citizen and when so many problems are already caused by illegal immigrants and when we are already learning to speak their language, why would our government cease arrest on something illegal!  Call me blind, but I don't understand it. 

Week 7

http://channel6newsonline.com/2011/03/president-obama-and-the-first-lady-take-on-bullying-in-america/

I am happy to see the bullying issue addressed by the President and the First Lady.  When I can hardly understand half of what is on the news, it's nice to have an issue addressed that I relate to.  Also, I think it gives Americans the sense that the Obama's can be a normal family in some ways, i.e. worrying about bullying in schools.  One thing I didn't like, the anchor looks like he's thirteen!

Week 6 - IPad 2...Already?

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2011-03-02-new-ipad_N.htm

I think that it's too soon for an IPad 2.  However, I liked the writing style of the article because the writer was detailed enough on the coverage of the meeting to inform me, yet curt enough not to bore me. 

Week Five

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/23/AR2011022303446.html

I'm glad to hear that the judge did not agree to postpone sentencing.  From what I could tell by reading the story the man is assumed to be guilty and he only wanted more time to come up with a way to get out of it.  It will be interesting to see what his sentence is.  I think the writer believes that if you blow somebody up you should have to pay for it.

Week Four

This is pretty crazy! It's so sad that some people don't believe that these things happen anymore but the truth is that pirates still exist and they are still dangerous!
