Wednesday News

Today's news seemed more of an update to yesterday's news. More and more stories on the swine flu, more news about Obama and his progress in the first 100 days, and more.
The was a whole two pages on the swine flu break out. The first case was announced dead in Texas. It was a little boy. There are more cases in New York and now they found cases at the University of Delaware. It's sad because we didn't hear about this infection until Us travelers brought it from Mexico. Mexico hasn't cracked down on the situation until it got out of control there. Now the Us is doing their best to prevent it and treat those who are infected. I like the updated stories because it keeps people informed about what is going on. Also, newspapers are doing well right now because people are grabbing newspapers for more information. The media is doing a goof job with informing everyone, but they may be scaring people with the intensity of their stories. It is good to inform people, but its another to scary them.
I like the chart with numbers that displayed the comparison of before Obama was elected and now. Most of the numbers were positive but some areas have gotten worse like unemployed works home sales.
More and more colleges are trying to prevent the "freshmen 15" by eliminating trays in the ding halls. UNH has eliminated trays in Stilings and on Tuesdays in Holloway. The tray less situation is a good idea but can be a hassle. Instead of getting everything at once. Students have to make trips from their table in order to get food, drinks, and silverware. It may be some what effective, but some people eat the same amount. They just take more trips.
