Vatican to finance adult stem cell research - Health - Cloning and stem cells - msnbc.com - 0 views

  •  
    Most people including religious persons oppose embryonic stem cell use but most if not all people are willing to experiment or allow adult stem cell use. It seems reasonable because adult stem cell research has been the only one that has proven to give effective results with out harming life. Will this prove to be the future of medicine and if so how soon will it be fully available and what price will the average person have to fork out for its use?

Jonah Lehrer on concussions in adolescents and the future of football - Grantland - 1 views

  • A 2004 study, meanwhile, revealed that football players with multiple concussions were 7.7 times more likely to experience a "major drop in memory performance"
  • What's most disturbing, perhaps, is that these cognitive deficits have a real-world impact: When compared with similar students without a history of concussions, athletes with two or more brain injuries demonstrate statistically significant lower grade-point averages.
  •  
    This article explains how concussions effect high school players presently, and later on in life. Most of all it shows that players with concussions have lower grade-point averages.

After 20 years of trying, the Green Party hasn't been able to establish a foothold in t... - 1 views

      What does this language accomplish?
  • With the Persian Gulf War long over, a Democrat in the Oval Office who's committed to withdrawing from Afghanistan and California taking the lead on fighting carbon pollution and switching to renewable energy, the Greens just don't have any hot-button issues they can use to attract or motivate voters.
    • Billy Gerchick
       
      What's the primary appeal? Logos, pathos, or ethos?
  • That might change under a Mitt Romney administration -- and in the unlikely event the Greens could siphon off Democratic votes in large numbers in November, they could inadvertently bring such a disaster about.

  • It's not easy being Green. And it's also not especially smart.

      Pay attention to the conventions: Why capitalize "Green"? Also, what do you think about the conclusion?
  • California's Green Party should buckle its Birkenstocks and move on
    • Billy Gerchick
       
      Evaluate the title. Do you think it's effective? Also, as you read the article, consider the primary and secondary audiences and think about how this impacts them.
  • California's Green Party was born in 1991, during a flurry of liberal outrage against Bush's war -- the first Bush, that is, and his shortlived liberation action for Kuwait. California activists, with memories of Vietnam still floating among their 1THC-dulled synapses , saw the Persian Gulf War as a conflict led by a hated Republican president who was sacrificing American blood for oil -- and a Green movement that had been sputtering before war was declared suddenly took root. More antiwar and pro-environment than the Democratic Party at the time, it was, for a while, a fashionable protest party for the crunchy-granola set .

      This functions as a lead, but it also "frames" the issue, essential background information on the subject.
  • But the sprout never really blossomed.

      Note how this transitions to the next idea and implies author tone towards the subject.
