1. The house of Representatives passed a rule that forces extreme monitoring of the refugees from Syria. The FBI will make sure the people coming into the US, "do not pose a threat" to national security. Everyone has their panties in a bunch because they think the US is so weak, that we need that type of monitoring. That's why its so popular, because we are afraid. The White House has promised to veto the bill after Thanksgiving because it is unnecessary, the refugees are not terrorists. They are REFUGEES. Obama knows where it's at because he thinks it's pointless. Just imagine another country even considering of putting a foreign policy if the US went into a time of crisis that Syria is in. Yes that's right, it's a CRISIS.
2. The Austin City Council voted Thursday to ease regulations for building garage apartments, and to keeping cheap homes available for people in the newly rising expensive community. And another reason is of course it could be another way to earn income. Ates spoke out about how keeping these homes is the only way he can afford to live in the neighborhood. And Pio said that the houses let him be able to live in his forever home, thanks to the backyard tenant.
3. The Board member of my area is Leslie Pool.
4. Now ya'll meat eater can enjoy the first genetically modified animal on your dinner tables. Enjoy. The fish is fine says the FDA, but also I mean they allow Twinkies, and we all know how that turns out. The other argument really does make good points about how we shouldn't be eating genetically modified food, because it isn't really good for anyone's bodies. This decision took so long because it is really dangerous to put these chemicals into a persons body, and it takes forever to make sure it's safe enough to be sold.
4.1 Soy beans are good.
5. District 6 proposed the idea that Austin should be open to the refugees just like they were open to the victims of Katrina and the Border Kids. 1,225 refugees came here in 2013, and more need to come. The Texas administrator don't have the right to refuse so many wanting to help people in need.
6. Raphael Holiday was convicted of setting a fire that killed his 18-month old daughter and two half sisters fifteen years ago. TExas has put capital punishment in place 13 other times, the other 49 other states have only killed about six other people using the death penalty. The appeal wouldn't of helped because it really would've been useless.
7. Like Floating on air, okay not neccicarily and editorial perhaps but really this is so cool and I think it should really be something we write about more often. Taking art and creating a reader to creator experience is really interesting, and I think we should see more of that in our newspaper.

The Craft of Writing Column
Alfre Dwayne Brown is convicted of murdering a veteran police officer, and a woman who had just giving birth. They were murdered during an armed robbery between three other men, possibly including Brown.
Throughout the trial Brown stayed silent as he listened to the lawyers throw is life around. He finally spoke up, explaining that he was not guilty of this crime. He was quickly silenced, and assigned to death row.
The closing argument was that new information confirming what Brown said was brought to the table. A judge agreed to a new trial, but nothing has happened past then. The trial is at a stand still, with Brown still on death row.
This article was published many years after the original event in 2003, which is pretty funny because it lets the reader see how long Brown has spent in jail, with an open trial.
Brown's alibi was that he called from his girlfriend home to another workplace, and after many years of searching the phone record was found in a garage.
His alibi was unconfirmed for so long that when the piece of paper was found, they can dismiss it pretty easily.
The spring trial ended with opening up the case, but it has gotten zero traction. The judge said okay, but since this man has waited this long on DEATH ROW, he can wait a little longer.
I think she is right because reopening a case takes so much. Tracking everyone down again, and many other processes. I think that the prosecutors are trying to sweep this under the metaphorical rug.
The appeals court seemed to be exhausted with the concept of this case, and are just trying to close it permanently.
To get the ball rolling. To start the trial her in Austin, because Brown can still be innocent.
I think this story can only end badly for brown because even if he gets out, he is labeled as a criminal from death row, and he has spent probably the most productive years of his adult life sitting silently in a cell awaiting a fate he cannot control.
This article is really upsetting. I think that it was supposed to provoke a reaction, but I don't think it will provoke anything. Things like this trial happen so much to people of color, and at this point, the type of people who read this newspaper, are probably tired of this kind of injustice, Because that is what it is, Injustice.

The Craft of Writing Editorials
Kingsbury's strategy here is to give a very relatable beginning and allow the reader to be included in the broad opening of this article. The lead is kind of a joking imagination piece that once you start reading you can imagine for yourself the dishwasher, maybe even one you have actually seen. The lead serves as a total gateway into the readers mind as a way to start thinking in the same direction as the author.
The related trends are laws being passed to regulate and to make sure dish workers, or anyone who does a low class job, are getting paid what is due for them.
The dismissed idea is that making the wages higher would make the job numbers even lower. She easily dismisses it by whipping out statistics.
If you raise the wages, it will greatly impact the income inequality.
Hours are rough and depend on tips alone to make minimum wage. ad that's only for the people who are allowed to take tips.
Adjusting some policies, the nation could sharply benefit with he raised number f middle class citizens. Consumers can question the treatment of the people working in the place of food. It's an uncomfortable question, but more and more people need to be asking it.
Tipped minimum wage is when a person only makes minimum wage when are tipped an average every hour. That is totally a loop hole in the system, but it was made by the system in the firt place.
Tips fuel the workers and if they work harder and longer, they will get paid more. It's an instant money in there pocket deal which tricks the server into thinking they are getting paid more.
It's really just cheating the servers. and it's also hurting the buisness.
A lot of lower class workers are immigrants and don't speak enough English to know that they have rights.
The personal recount of that man is that it actually makes this all real. That it isn't just a number, it's real people who are just trying to provide for their real families.
Restaurant routinely violate the law by not regulating the laws of minimum wage.
About 15 people every payday at every restaurant, are victims of wag theft.
Bringing attention to the people who are stolen from everyday. Bring the people and the families that are affected by the theft.
I think that the conclusion is really good, but it didn't end like an editorial should. I think if I were to re write, I could come up witha better more well rounded ending.

Current Event quiz 3.1
1) The abortion law put in place by a Republican Legislature, ad the public will know if it is going to be repealed or not on Monday. Doctors say that it should be changed from only giving abortions in surgical centers, and should be changed to nearby hospitals. The Male Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton disagrees with the appeal to move the abortions, because the old law was to "hep improve the care of the women" seeking an abortion.
2) The charges may be dropped because a federal judge expanded a century-old legal principle to provide broad protections to more law enforcement officers. The judge ruled Oct. 29 that legal precedent from 125 years ago in a ruling originally written to protect circuit-riding federal agents giving murderers who work for the city, a chance to skip out on jail. The Supremacy Clause has been interpreted to exempt federal officers from prosecution under state laws so long as they are acting within the scope of their federal duties.This interpretation of the Clause is as far reaching as affecting the deaths in September 2014, only four months after Kleinert was charged in Jackson’s death, three local police officers assigned to the same federal violent crime task force shot and killed another man.
3) Washington Uni had their players take lessons in learning basic Mandarin, which to be honest, won't help them as much as Washington thinks it will. Mandarin is NOT a language anyone one speaks in China, because the language is a blended version of many different Mandarin and Cantonese BASED languages. This is historic because it is a perfect place to get people excited for the NBA and this will be the first regular-season intercollegiate game featuring U.S. based teams ever played in China. Smart is really concerned with the amount of school the teammates will be missing because of the academic record of the entire team. I think that is a really great ting a coach should be worried about with such a team.
4) What made history in Yangon, Myanmar, was millions of citizens in the election that will test whether the military’s everlasting grip on power can be loosened, with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s party expected to secure an easy victory. It was a remarkable historic day, full of life and excitement.
5) The theft inside of the Vatican that had resulted in the loss financial papers, and the new books talking about the "mismanagement and greed inside the Vatican", but the Pope is still in favor of the people, and will prevail! Hurray for Popedizzle Frandizzle!
6) In depth Answer:
Sanctuary Cities are a false term used to describe a city in which immigrants can claim citizenship sanctuary. Most of the opinions are in-favor of abolishing the false term of "sanctuary cities", because it gives minorities a false sense of actual sanctuary when really they will be scrutinized and kicked out quickly. The Author presents true statements connecting the now in power Governor to scrutinizing the Latino community while also claiming to be able to relate. The cartoon shows the opinion of a 'sanctuary city" not actually giving what sanctuary is. I think the comic is an accurate representation to show how both ideas, either apposing or conforming, can see that "sanctuary" is the wrong word being used.
6.0) I think the variation of the editorial page is actually a really good idea for this story. His story in particular, because of the facts about the Governor. We still voted for this guy and now are dealing with the repercussions. I think it just gives information that the new voters didn't know and now they can think again about reelecting him.

Bringing Home the Metaphorical Bacon
1) On Monday, The World Health Organization concluded that eating processed meat like hot dogs, ham, and bacon raises the risk of colon cancer. (No sh*t)
2) The response was that we shouldn't scare people into not eating red meat because of the new found risk, but that people should just be more aware of what they are putting into their bodies. Doctors said that it really isn't supposed to scare anyone, it's just a reminder that what you put into your body effects your health.
3) The panel found sufficient evidence that processed meat causes higher risk of cancer. The chairman still reiterates that eating processed meats still has a risk versus smoking or drinking. This wasn't a scare tactic, it was just new information.
4) This cartoon is a perfect example of the ways this information WILL be perceived. The small man is telling the at man who is shoveling meat into his mouth. The way this information will be taken is that the skinny people who eat red meat will now be paranoid until the next time they get to eat bacon.
5) PETA and the Pro-Vegan, will have a field day and will make a whole bunch of new pamphlets. The fat man will not care about he new meat discovery because it''s not like cancer could ever effect him. Having Obesity and High Cholesterol run in my family, and being the only vegetarian, I think it's hilarious that the people who are most effected by this new discovery most likely won't care.

Story (please don't put this in the paper. The student I interviewed specififcally does not want to be found)
New Policy Protecting Trans students put in Place At McCallum
In the recent comings of the ever growing transgender high school support community, the new policy was no shock to students. The new policy states that “The District prohibits acts of any kind, including harassment, based on race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or any other basis prohibited by law (e.g., cyberbullying via social network sites). Retaliation against anyone involved in the complaint process is a violation of District policy and is prohibited,” which now protects transgender students and allows them to possibly explain a bullying situation to a teacher or counselor we they feel attacked by their gender identity.
A student who will remain anonymous spoke out about what they thought of the new policy. " I think it's about time that we are protected under the same rules and regulations cisgender people (denoting or relating to a person whose self-identity conforms with the gender that corresponds to their biological sex) are covered under. I think especially at Mac, since we have such an amazing LGBTQA Support group known as Spectrum, that the policy is no surprise in it's contents but more of a surprise that we were not covered by a policy in the past." anon said.
In a poll of ten transgender students at McCallum, seven out of the eight said they had been discriminated against because of their gender identity. Three of those seven said that it had happened by a teacher, not just a student. Transgender students at McCallum say that everyday is a new experience. Junior Ezra Ferrel told of how each day brought something new to their eyes. “Coming (to school) everyday to a place that I don’t know is safe or not for me is pretty hard. People don’t realize how scary it can be when you aren’t even comfortable in your own skin and then you have to go somewhere that makes you feel even worse and crushes you ideals of changing.” said Ferrel. Continuing, Ferrel tells about how coming to this place that makes them feel so bad, also really helped them become who they are now. “Coming here made me not care about what others think. It’s my gender (identity) and mine alone. McCallum also gave the opportunity for Spectrum to grow and that helps pretty much everyone, not just the LGBTQA.” The new policy gives hope for even more pro LGBTQA policies to be pasted and Spectrum clubs meets every Wednesday to think of new ideas to help the McCallum community.
If you or a student you know is the target of discrimination or harassment based on race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or any other basis prohibited by law, be it by a teacher a fellow student, administrator, or another AISD employee, please find a counselor or another trusted adult to talk about the situation so that they can help you and let the right people know. Look around for posters that give the number for Campus Crime Stoppers.
