1. Paul Ryan, Republican.
2. The law says that police officers have ""the right to demand identification".
3. The Mets and the Royals.
4. Do look for interesting conversation pieces, Do purchase high quality decor items. Don't buy seasonal items you don't expect to use. Don't go overboard with seasonal decor.
5. Of the five options, I would most like to go to the UMLAF Sculpture Garden and Museum's Haunted Garden.
I have seen the video of the girl getting flipped out of her desk. It was all over social media, due to the horrifying way the officer lashed out. The opinion of the article is that what occurred was wrong, and that the author supports the actions that have taken in place in order to reprimand the officer. The actions that he took were wrong and its only fair that he was fired. This shows just how much of an issue this country has with police brutality. The people of this country have been abused and battered by those on the force. This isn't saying that all police all abuse citizens, most of them do not, but the ones that do are not fit to serve this country. There are multiple underlying issues of police brutality, and it can stem from racial issues and other things. Police brutality seemingly due to race has been in the media more than other forms of police brutality because the majority of people still believe that there is still a lot of racial injustice. Sometimes though, police brutality isn't just about race. It could just be that the police officer is not in the right mental space to perform correctly in this line of work. In either case, the police officers involved should be fired after an investigation into the extent of his or her actions. It is important that phones and electronics are used in problems such as these, because then the brutality can be recorded, making it easier for the officer to be punished. Stories like this are important in social media and online, because it gets the word out about police brutality, and that way more people are aware of it. Being aware about issues such as this are important, because if you know about them you could possibly do something to change it and make the situation better.

Accepting Refugees
The EU has come to terms with the large masses of refugees coming into the European countries, but they are still struggling to have countries let in the refugees with open arms. This is a cruel way to treat those who have already suffered so much. The world needs to come together and accept as many refugees as needed.
Assisting the refugees isn't as bad as everyone believes. Refugees are proven to be hard workers, and entrepreneurs. They come to these new countries for new beginnings, and they work as hard as they can so that they can have a great new life. Also, with all of the new refugees the countries will bring in more taxes which can be very beneficial to the countries economy.
Even though many people believe that refugees are bad for the countries economy, and that they steal jobs, this isn't true. It is claimed that they take away jobs from the natives of the country that they are in. If anything, with all of the new businesses that these people start up, they are creating jobs.
Many European countries assume that refugees are more likely to commit crimes, and that they generate more violence than was already prevalent in the country before they arrived. However, there is proof that this is a false accusation.
Refugees are far less likely to commit crime than many people think. First generation immigrants are 45% less likely to commit a violent crime than a third generation American, proving that the idea that refugees are more prone to committing crimes, false.
For many immigrants, coming to a new country can be a culture shock, and I believe that these countries should do more to help the refugees with this. Many countries are providing the refugees classes to help them adjust, but the refugees have to wait on a list, sometimes months at a time, so that they can get into these classes. I understand that there is an extremely large amount of refugees, and that it is hard for a country to provide for them, but there are other ways around this issue.
If more people volunteered to help the refugees, there would be a great improvement in the way that the refugees establish themselves in the new countries. There are already many support groups in Europe assisting the refugees, but going the extra step and having even more volunteers could make their adjusting to their new lives that much easier.
One other issue that many of the countries face is that there is a limited amount of room in their countries, and letting in the refugees would nearly double the countries total population. Some countries are so overwhelmed by the sudden influx of refugees that they had to reduce the total number that they were join to give asylum to. These are the countries who need relief, and one way to help out the refugees and the overwhelmed countries, is to have other countries take in the overflow of refugees.
If countries such as the United States, Great Britain, and Australia took in more refugees than they are already said they would, this could relieve the strain on European countries.
Other countries are afraid of taking in the refugees for most of the same reasons as those in Europe. Although, refugees have many possible benefits for the countries taking them in.
The refugees could improve the economy, and the overall diversity of the country. Being exposed to that much diversity could be frightening at first, but it pays off in the long run.
If all of the countries around the world pulled their weight and assisted in the immigrant crisis there would be a real improvement in the situation overall, and the refugees would be better off as well.

CE 2.1
1. A conflict of interest would be that council members are receiving free passes to ACL.
2. Tom Steglich's political cartoon gives the readers the idea that lawmakers care more about money than they do about people.
3. A UT professor plans to resign, because they are now allowing guns on campus, and he fears for his safety.
4. Amazon is going to work with Austin artists and Amazon will sell homemade art.
5. Metal Gear's new release is rated so highly because it has good graphics, isn't intimidating, and is also easily playable.
Read the article on page SA1 Tech Extra "Mobile Tech spur on-demand delivery"
I think this industry has seen such enormous growth because it is convenient for many people. Instead of having to wait for things you can have it right away, and that is a big pull factor for many consumers. My family uses mobile delivery mainly because we do a lot of online shopping.
I think millennials are being targeted because they are apart of the new digital age, and they are more likely to use their phones to order things. However, older people may not be as familiar with using technology and would be more likely to go and get something from the store. I would use the delivery service if I needed something right away and I couldn't go to the store, but for the most part I would just go and get it myself.

"Waste not, want not" retrieved from Trail Blazer

The authors opinion is that we need to encourage students to utilize the systems in place to help with being a "green community".

CE 2.2
1. Two potential causes of the Bastrop fire are someone violated the burn ban, or there was a farming accident.
2. Alan Guckian was nominated for a "Grammy" because he is passionate and also because he always shows up for his band students.
3. The favorite to win at the Circuit of the Americas is Lewis Hamillton.
4. Honey Crips, Ginger golds, and Jonagold.
5. Of the 8 items in the "Healthful foods are worth price tag", I would like to try: good dark chocolate, pure maple syrup, and real vanilla.
I have considered buying a textbook to compensate for the new online textbooks, because I find the online textbooks unreliable. No having a textbook has significantly lowered my grade in some areas, because I am unable to access the online textbook because it is faulty. I can not access the information necessary to do my homework and do well in my class. Now I have to take pictures with my phone of the textbook that my teacher has in her classroom, and that is a hassle for me. In my opinion having a hard copy of a text book would be much easier to use versus the online textbook. This just goes to show that going all digital is not a good idea. Especially when some students don't have access to computers. Even those who do have many complications with using the online textbooks. For instance, when the student cloud went down, students couldn't access the textbooks that they needed for their classes. This could happen again long term and would be very bad for the school. I do think that this is going to continue though as we transition into a digital age. I can see how using the online textbook is less expensive and seemingly more convenient, but technology is not always reliable, and we need to have a backup plan for when things go wrong and we cannot access the digital versions of books. One solution to this would be giving the student the option for both. This was the case for the english textbook, and I know that many students chose the hard copy, but this was not an option for the geometry textbooks. Students are forced to use the online textbook, and personally I have had many issues with it.

Earthquake Story
On October 20 at 9:12 am an earthquake struck the San Francisco bay area, killing two and injuring six.
The earthquake that lasted around thirty seconds was a 6.4 on the richter scale, and caused a gas leak to explode in an auto part supply store on Plum street named McHenry's. The store then collapsed, and the American Red Cross, firefighters, and police responded to the accident. The firefighters used ropes to stabilize the auto supply store. Of the six injured, only three had injuries serious enough to cause them to be in need of hospitalization. The injured were hospitalized at Hayward General Hospital. No other serious injuries caused by the earthquake have been reported in the Hayward area yet.
The responders to the accident arrived to the scene quickly.
"Twenty-one fire personnel, 12 police and five American Red cross workers responded to the building collapse, with some arriving within four minutes of the quake", Jennifer Vu said.
The residents near the collapsed building went through the 6.4 earthquake and recall exactly what happened during the catastrophic accident.
"I dove under the table just as I heard an explosion outside and a chunk of cement flew through my kitchen window. Thats when the screaming started across the street", Mike Beamer recalled.
The earthquake was strong, and even people in neighboring cities felt the shaking.
"People as far south as Los Angeles and as far north as Redding felt the quake", scientist Penny Gertz stated.

Huntington Story
Jones was taken to the hospital, and her dog was taken to animal control. The police involved in the case are still determining if Jones should be charged in relation to the gun accident, due to it being unlicensed.
"It could have been worse", officer Rye said, "The bullet hit two inches from the gas tank."
Jones' dog, now in animal control, is seemingly malnourished and possibly abused. The animal control office could possibly be charging Jones for animal abuse.
"[Jones' dog] could have done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops.", Janet Ngo, an animal control officer on the case, stated.

Car Accident
On October 7 at 4:45 two vehicles collided in a head on collision at the First Street and Slaughter intersection. Roger Clementine had been driving and hit John Jacob Jingleheimer-Smith and his wife Melba.
"This was one of the only head on collisions in this intersection." said police officer Jacob Hansen.
Rodger Clementine was driving without a license and hadn't had any experience driving before.
"I had never driven before," said Clementine "but I wanted to see what it was like even though I didn't have a license"
The driver John Jacob Jingleheimer-Smith struggled to avoid the oncoming car.
"The car came out of no where," stated Jingleheimer-Smith "I didn't even see him."
Jingleheimer-Smith and his wife were taken to the hospital; Jingleheimer-Smith had a serious head injury.
"The doctors think he might have fractured his skull." said Jingleheimer-Smith's wife Melba.
The young Roger Clementine (13) was cited for driving without a license, speeding, and for driving in the wrong lane.
"Im surprised such a young kid would even attempt to drive," Said officer Jacob Hansen "and to cause damage like this none the less."
Roger Clementine has shown no remorse so far for his irresponsible actions.
"I don't really care what people say about me," said Clementine "It happened, people need to move on already."
Clementine's punishment will be spending 5 months in a juvenile detention facility.
"The kid's lucky to get away with just 5 months," said officer Jacob Hancock "he got off easier than i would have thought."

Age old battle still on going
Who: Parker Smith
What: Stood up against rape culture
When: September 4, 2015
Where: At her school
Why: She was dress coded for something she wore
How: She talked to the administration
Parker Smith was dresscoded, and she felt that she needed to speak out in order to stand up for her rights in society. The administrators have deemed that wearing certain things are immoral and that we should be forced to cover up. In Parker's opinion the dress code is unfair to women in the school community, and she believes that they deserve more freedom in the way that they dress, and she is doing what she can to get more freedom by talking to administrators.

SAT and ACT will change in March
Who: Judd Pfieffer
What: Says the SAT and ACT will be different
When: in March 2016
Where: In AISD
Why: Its a new version of the test.
The SAT and ACTs will be different, and that means that students need to get prepared. By doing things such as reading and practicing, the test scores will go up and it could be easier for students. These tests are important and students should aim to do very well on these tests.
Judd Pfieffer (indirect and direct), Isabela Doberenz (direct), Ricky Ramirez (direct).
One opinion in this article is that "just by reading for 30 minutes a day the score will go up". There is no evidence given that supports this, so i believe it is an opinion that reading raises test scores.

Fit bell schedule remains the same after proposals last year
Who: Bowie High School officials
What: Almost changed the bell schedule but didn't
When: Last Year
Where: Bowie High School
Why: The schedule wasn't working for students
How: By alternating A and B days instead of changing
Bowie High school was going to change the bell schedule in an attempt to synch with other schools and make things easier for students. Students apposed the plan and wanted a less confusing bell schedule. The bell schedule ended up remaining the same other than a ten minute push, although this push is disliked by students because it shortens the passing period.

One opinion i found is that "the bond has improved both the look...of the campus" this is an opinion because looks are subjective.

Where: South Germany
Why: Serena and Cole are in love, and John was late to the wedding
John Carter and Serena Johnson had been living next to each other for
John had always loved Serena. The only problem was that Serena was with John's best friend Cole. John covered up his jealousy with other women, hiding the hurt he felt. He just wanted Serena to be happy, so he suffered in silence for years, until Serena and Cole announced their engagement. John was crushed. He promised himself that he wouldn't do anything, because Serena was happy. John could only restrain himself for so long. The day of the wedding he sped off to the chapel in hopes that he could stop the wedding before it was to late. He arrived just a few minutes to late and could do nothing to end the heart breaking wedding that had taken place. With nothing left to do but leave, he exited the chapel and drove away, never to be the same again. Serena ran out of the church. She had liked John all along. She jumped into her car, trying to fit the white dress into the car. Cole who running after her tried to open the locked car door, knowing Serena's intentions. Rolling down the window, she handed Cole the brand new diamond ring and sped off, trying to catch up to the one she really loves.

CE 1.5
1. Why would the Pope meeting with Kentucky's Kim Davis, the clerk who refused to issue same sex marriages, be a story in this newspaper. In your opinion? Page A3 "Pope met with Kentucky clerk"
The Pope most likely met with Kim Davis because she did something because of her religion and The Pope might praise her on making choices based on her beliefs, but then again The Pope believes in religious freedom (including marriage) so he could have just met to discuss why she made that decision.
2. How much support (%) from the general Texas population increase in the past five years, according to the Texas Lyceum poll on the topics of same sex marriage and marijuana legalization? Page B1 "Pot, gays gaining support"
The Texas population supporting same sex marriage has increased by about 20% according to the lyceum poll. Marijuana legalization support has increased by 13% in Texas.
3. What were three of the six other key findings of the Lyceum poll, according to the same story?
The Lyceum poll also found that two thirds of those asked supported the $800 million dollar border security proposition, %65 percent supported the federal action to stop deportation, and 28% opposed immigrants getting education or work permits.
4. What is unique about the Lyceum poll, according to the same story?
The Lyceum poll is unique because it looked at the whole states population versus likely voters or voters.
5. What is the reason that Jordan Spieth's year has been so amazing (what record did he break)? Page C1 "Spieth has a season for the ages"
Jordan Spieths's year has been amazing because he made a four shot victory at the Tour Championship.
A wearable is a wearable form of technology such as a watch or a blue tooth. We are starting to see them more and more in technology because they have become popular due to their convenience. People like them because they are much easier to use and carry around. For example, using a smartphone instead of carrying around a laptop. Personally I like the newer and improved hearing aids. My best friend has 50% hearing loss in both ears, and she is getting the new iPhone enabled hearing aids, and they can work with her phone, which I find interesting. Just the fact that we now have hearing aids to help people who have hearing impairments is a major technological advancement.I think that in the future we will see more and more wearables because of how easy they make things. I personally have a fit bit which qualifies as a wearable. I find extremely useful, because it tells you information, and you have access to it whenever you are wearing it, and that makes things simple and easy.
