Cartoons word count:205
What's happening in ferguson Missouri is really frustrating. If you are with the police you are labeled racist because the cop was white and the criminal was black so it has to be a form of racism. The reason for that is the media likes to make mountains out of mole hills. The media is just helping the people riot and it makes matters worse but all they want is something to report that is interesting for ratings. In some cases people have been shot just because they wanted the white person to not be punished for self defense. The media will show the black person as a little kid and the white person full age to make it look worse on the white person to but that mind set of racism into play. In reality when they show they black mans actual picture size he is a lot bigger than the white guy and I don't know about anyone else but if I'm a police officer and a big tall guy is charging me violently I'm going to shoot that person black or white. If the person was white and the police officer was black no one would have said a word about it.
On a comet 10 years away word count: 200
The Philae is a very special remote controlled space vehicle to make a soft landing on a comet. This thing flew over 6.4 billion miles to get to where it is now. It's journey took over ten years to get there. The lander has some problems with its battery dying. The lander did not land where it was suppose to land at and instead of the solar panels getting seven hours of light per comet day but instead it's getting only 1.5 hours of light per comet day. The lander is still trying to give as munch data as it can send. The lander has remained silent for some time now, however they are trying to fix out how to give it more light without the batteries dying in the process. One guy is tweeting stuffed it would say to remain optimistic in my opinion. They have been on this project for a long time even with the decease in photos and research they are still satisfied with the information they got from the lander.

After a Concussion when can teens return to the football field? word count:210
This article was long
and it had some valid points about concussions. There were around 1,500 kids
that suffered from concussions in Missouri in 2012, however most of the kids
did return to the sport after two weeks. The article also talks about how
dangerous it is to play with a concussion. It could do more damage to the brain
because the first concussion softened the brain up and the second one (if you
still have the first one), can seriously injury your brain. The doctors are trying
to not send a kid back out to the field too early. If something major happens
like he gets another concussion and now the kid can no longer walk then the
doctor could get into trouble for it along with losing his job and having to
deal with the fact he sent a kid out too early and now he cannot walk that is
going to haunt him. For recent activities of concussions some parents are
forbidding their kids to play football. To prevent players from returning too
early some schools have computerized test that you take at the beginning of the
season and if they believe you have a concussion you go and take the test again
and they compare scores.
