this article is a good counterpoint to my look at concussions. it gives a dads perspective of football and concussions and why it should be safer for kids to play.

Myers, Woodrow, Jr. "Ringing approval for better concussion rules." Indianapolis Business Journal 21 May 2012: 13B. General OneFile. Web. 1 Mar. 2013.

this gives a look at why concussions are ruining the sport and that the player should basically be "Bubble Wrapped" by new rules to protect young player.

This is an amazing article. the article used real life situations and explains why concussions are the rising topic in football. it gives real life numbers and really gives an overlook of the whole concussion conspiracy.

500,000 people died from food shortage but more people are dying because of water shortage caused by the drought.

"The world is poor and getting poorer"

"The number of nations facing chronic water shortage is projected to rise to 50, mainly in the Middle East and Africa."

This article is telling how every year, the number of countries in need of clean water is increasing significantly. It is also telling how there are more and more refugees every year and h demand for food and water is increasing. It also talks about how there might be water, but its not always clean.

Diving. Faking. Exaggeration. Embellishment Here, Jack is showing style in his hook by using one word starters. The words that he used are very powerful and dont need any back up to show what hes thinking.

Jack is showing focus and credibility in this piece. He is showing it both in the lead and in the conclusion

Before we know it Pop Warner will be a bunch of kids running around covered with bubble wrap hiting each other. Jack use style by adding in a little sense of humor

Seeing this production was great to see the different side of what I had told in my original book. I thought you did a great job and you presented each part well and had a well-played script set out. Id like to say "thankee" for a wonderful portraying of my origin.

talks about the voting right era. how LBJ was trying to let colored people vote and explains what was happening duriing the era.

1.) I learned what actually did happen in Selma. in the origional story i read, it only stated "What happend in Selma" and it was left unclear. I learned of "Bloody Sunday" and That the Voting Rights law was passed after their march for freedom and the race barrier. It showed how the racial barrier didnt allow blacksto have their own freedom and they were to be pushed around by the american people and ordered what to do. 2.) This connects to the President LBJ's speech because of the reflection to Selma Alabama. It explained what had happend on the day of the march and the outcome. It also reflected back to the Voting Rights topic. It stated that it was passed and Blacks had more freedom than they had had before. His speech was also along the lines of what had happend for Newton, and President Obama adressing the public.

**** Not sure why but highlites got seperated. they are below.

Ben, as I was reading I was surprised that your article got into all of the violent details of bloody sunday. I also learned that it was a protest march was for freedom as I thought it was just for voting rights.After reading this post I know think that president Johnson should of been very upset and to say that it was not the nations fault it was the racism people in the south that should of been blamed for what happen.

On a Sunday, in 1965 in Selma Alabama, 600 African-Americans were attacked by police officers which is now known as "Bloody Sunday." Why was color such a big deal back in the 1900s? 11 year old Joanne witnessed things that no kid should witness. She witness 600 people getting beaten because of race discrimination. How dangerous was it to be a non-Caucasian during the 1900s. Would you get beaten up if you were not Caucasian? This post does not have a LBJ post.
