This is very helpful in finding current events and local news. It gives great detail in everything and is updated very regularly with new articles.

This was a very helpful site for me for my research in Global Studies. I used this site to look up current events.

I was introduced to this site through American Studies, since it is our primary source for the History of the Day (HOTD) assignment that we do once a quarter. For HOTD, we use the e-newspaper, which simulates the experience of reading that day's paper complete with "flipping" through the international, national, and local news. I know that the Burlington Free Press is a reliable source since it is fairly well known in this state, and it has multiple reporters and editors working on every story and checking the facts to make sure that it is accurate. This source is probably a bit liberal as news sources go, since it is published in Vermont where most of the readers are democrats, but I usually feel as though I am being informed, not persuaded, when I read it. I really enjoy getting news from the BFP because the paper is small enough that you can receive information without getting overwhelmed, and it doesn't take too long to read the whole thing. Using this source in American Studies has also changed my perception of my state, since it has helped me realize that even though it is a small state, Vermont has talented editors and is able to produce a news source that is equally as informative as big-time sources like the new York Times.

This is the website for the New England Young Writers Conference. I has information about the conference, how to apply, the cost, and where it's located. I used this website to apply for the conference. It was easy to navigate and I found the application form quite easily. THis source was very helpful because after applying, I was accepted into the conference. I believe that it will help me develop my writing skills. This source opened up New possibilities for me in terms of exploring my creative writing skills. The purpose of this website is to give the readers more information about the New England Young Writers Conference.

This is another news website for both current and old news that is happening globally. It has been helpful when doing research for multiple classes over this semester. It has information on most all of the latest news, and it is really good information. Most all the information that students need for research can be found on this site.

The Huffington Post is a great website to catch up on all the current events that are happening around the world. I have also found this website very helpful for current event assignments in Global Studies this semester; you can search news on any topic or any country.

This website is about the New Holland tractor 8970. It also gives all the information about the tractor like how much horsepower the engine has or what the tractor is used for. I would recommend this site to someone who is working for a New Holland dealer or working on a farm.

Latest news, world news, sports, business, comment, analysis and reviews from the Guardian, the world's leading liberal voice

The Guardian is an old English newspaper and following this link I see it has updated well to our digital age. I followed the Gaza tab and found an excellent article on international justice in seeking to rebuild after the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

Designboom is a online design and architecture magazine. Great for inspiration and news!

Did you use it to get any current issues news?

Yes, this site has all of the new info within the technology and design world. I've used this article to see some of the new products Microsoft and Sony have made or are planning to make, like PlayStation 4 (These are the two main stocks we have been investing in.)

This website was really helpful for me. I used this site a lot in my Global Studies class and it helped me research different current events in specific countries. The information was really easy to find and is also very reliable.

Newsy is a News website. The site tells you all the strange, New, interesting, and crazy stories around the world in a short video, usually less then five minutes.

The main points in this article are the settlements, population sources, the relationships with Native Americans, government, religion, and economy and population growth for the English, French and Spanish Colonies. The purpose of this article is to show the similarities and differences between the English, French and Spanish Colonists during the founding of the New World. There are many topics covered in this article, however the most important topic is the colonists and how they are different even though they came from the same continent: Europe. This articles is a comparison of the three colonists groups and which group would be the best suited to colonize the New World. This is a very useful source to use as notes or to help you debate a certain side, because it shows you the group's strong points as well as the drawbacks. Other sources that I have used only talk about on group of colonists and you really have to dig for answers, whereas this site is organized in a chart and all the information is right in front of you. This was very useful for my U.S. History class because this website showed the different groups of European colonists and their strengths and weaknesses.

This news story was about the importance of safety and awareness around longboarding in Burlington.

These are the new clubs that Titleist is putting out to compete with other companies such as Callaway, and Taylormade. They also have the older clubs from a couple generations back if you search hard enough.

The New Yorker is a classic. It hosts numerous well written and fact filled articles that cover a wide range of topics

This is a great site for people trying to find information on any current event. People can also go back and look at news from events that happened a long time ago. I have found this site very helpful when doing research for papers in US history and English.

This is yet another useful news source to find a plethora of information. I have used this source to find the information that I need to write multiple essays and do multiple school assignments.

Gives top 10 endangered species information, wild animals facts and breaking environmental news. Also gives info in new species that have been found.

Polygon is a gaming news website. It is unbiased for the most part which makes it a very handy source of news in the gaming world. It also has a large number of video articles which are very easy to watch while working on something else as they usually rely mostly on just audio.

This website talks about the specifications in a New Holland 9482. For example, what kind of engine does it have? What the horsepower is ?What type of transmission? etc.

Summary: The belief by many medical professionals is that better understanding of neuroscience will be achieved through investment in technology that focuses on such. But Dr. Allan Ropper believes that learning from talking, feeling, and watching is just as important as fancy scans and MRI's. As he talks about in his interview, administering bedside tests can, and will give you results that would have never been retrieved by using a machine. For example, Dr. Allan Ropper conducted an experimental test on a woman who was having muscle troubles, and by using a blood pressure pump, he discovered that she has a disease that weakens muscles with repeated use. The other doctors believed earlier that it was a stroke that made her feel weak, but Dr. Ropper proved them wrong. In Ropper's new book "Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole", he delves deeper into why neuroscience should use bedside tests more often, because in times like the one described, it's the only way to get the true answer.

This VPR radio program visits the topic of emotion in animals. Virginia Morell is an animal researcher and author of the book "Animal Wise: The Thoughts and Emotions of Our Fellow Creatures." Morell studies the emotions of different animals and their means for communicating those emotions. The large topic of interest in this short VPR news special is about whether humans have a special connection with dogs. Morell's answer is yes, dogs and humans have a similar way of communicating with facial cues and body language which makes our two species somewhat appealing to one another. This helps my research a lot in that it brings out not only the similarities between K-9s and humans but also the mysterious draw of one animal to the other. Since the domesticated dog is so closely related to the wolf, it is true that wolves have similar body language, facial expression and social behavior tendencies. Morell speaks about her topic of expertise with great ease and it is fun to listen to because she is so smart.
