Its all in the Lede

"It's often called the world's longest party, but this year's Bay to Breakers race through San Francisco was anything but fun for the residents, cops and public workers who bore the brunt of the drunken young "runners" who staggered around Golden Gate Park and the city's west side, relieving themselves wherever it proved convenient."

Nut Graph

"Much of the problem at Sunday's 97th running of the crosstown race was blamed on the early-20s crowd, which has been growing in recent years."

Its funny because while i was on my way to work on the day of the race ( which made me late) i saw people in costumes and plenty others with alcohol and i though to myself does anyone actually take this race seriously. The point that the write is trying to make is that this trend din't just start happening . Its actually been occuring for some time now. Not only has it lost all integrity but its not even funny ne more.

The article was pretty long and the write imediatly went into his nut graph after a paragraph or so which was a good idead because any thing further would have just been boring. His lede was also great at setting up the basis to his story.

A farm in California is associated with a case of libel when the claim that a animal rights group staged a video to portray the workers of the farm in a negative light. the animal rights group then responds to the allegations and say that they would sue the farm for libel.

In cases of libel one single incident or mention of libel and have a negative effect of look badly upon an organization. clearly if the allegations are not true then the farm has lost plenty of credibility and they look bad for even being associated in a case of animal mistreatment

The passing of a ledgend

this narrated slide did not have any music but was fully narrated and accompanied by some really good pictures that made the story speak for itself. based upon the life of Bill Walsh it gives you a true since of his coaching roots as well as his intreactions with the players which made him so adored. i do think that if it had some type of music in it it would be a little more engaging but all in all it was decent.

RESPONSE

I think that my interviwer did a relativly good job describing me and what I stand for, though I don't think that my over all message was thoroughly conveyed is the sense that what I've done so far is only a fraction of how I see the big picture. But given the time we were given I think that she did a goodjob.

The COOL KIDS!

Take one scoop hip-hop and one scoop of extreme sports mixed in with with a couple of kids fresh out the windy city and you've just made yourselves a coolkids sandwhich. Hailing from "illville" Illinois the cool kids bring diversity to an over saturated hip-hop market. Check out their video "black mags" !

The Scoop!

Well i wont claim to know all that there is to know about classmate and fellow enthusiast Marcia Soares, but after spending just a brief time conversing with her obvious to see that she shoots for the top while appreciating all the little things. Her main goals in life are to strive to be the best at what she does while maintaining a life comfortable for her and people around her. That's why shes determined to make a difference in today's conflict with immigration so she can make a difference in many others lifes. Aside from wanting to help others around her Marcia's main love is dance. Salsa, Meringue, and Brazilian dances are only a few types she enjoy. When asked her most cherished memory Marcia explain that although she holds many cherished memories, the point in her live were she became a Christian was the most pivotal.

So As you can see theres more to a person than what we simply see on the outside, so its best to try and get to know a person and who knows you may find a friend with many many things in common.

Lights..Camera..Action!

As the lights dim and the crowd dies, only silence remains as the performers take their final bow. Lights will soon dawn 0n a new star and on this day that star is born. Born and raised in San Francisco California, I've always known at an early age that success isn't something that happens rather its a pervelege. In my neighborhood you either strives to be a athlete, Singer/Rapper, or destined for a 9 to 5 your whole life. Now at the age of 19 i strive for more than whats expected.
