1. What is the Veterans Administration accused of doing to U.S. military vets? Page A1 "Obama: VA chief has job on line"
They manipulated waiting lists in hopes of hiding long delays.
2. What song prompted Iranian leaders to arrest six young men and women? Page A2
Happy by Pharrell
3. Look at the political cartoon by Marshall Ramsey on Page A9. What is the meaning of the cartoon?
I think it represents that maybe we are all focussing on ourself and entertainment like the new 'Godzilla' movie when there is a very terrible syndrome happening in the Middle east. Or maybe its just saying how this syndrome can be more destructive and kill more people than even Godzilla can.
4. What is so unique about the medals that will be given to winners at the Xgames which will be held in Austin next month? Page C10
The medals double as belt buckles in a way to bring the Texas vibe to the games.
5. What is the Art Science Gallery doing that combines science and discovery? Page D1
There was an insect based exhibit and they are bringing in paintings and things focused on science. 6. Read one of the obituaries found on page B4 or B5. Read one of the longer ones. What elements make up an obituary? What kind of information is available. What thing would you expect to read in an obituary that you rarely find in on (see if you can deduce this one on your own)? Did you know that many new reporters first assignments are to write obituaries? What would you think about having to write one of these?
They usually state their full names, what they were(mother,father,sister,ect.), what they did with their lives, and how they died. It sometimes includes where they were born, where they lived, and something about their family. Not all of them said how they died and I find that a little strange considering this is a piece devoted to their death. I had no idea that their were actual journalist writing these, I just assumed it was the family. I would not want to write one of these because I find them try sad and morbid and I like writing happy or opinion pieces. I also would never want an obituary dedicated to me because I doubt random people reading the paper care that I died.
