Summary

The author says that the economical depression has made the number of homelessness reach to the most this year. Even though the shelter system has already been prepared for homelessness, there are still problems in the system. Though the organization in New York looks focusing on helping homelessness, the new rule was valid for only 2 years.

Even though he evaluates the services that organization is doing for homelessness, I think the services cannot support them completely as the author stated in the very first statement on the first paragraph that New Yorkers in and out of government should be concerned about homelessness. Because the services can make some family difficult to get welfare and food-stamp benefits. Also, the advocates are predicting disaster when the subsidies run out.

Ingredientes: Pasta, cheese, hot sauce, and onion.

Title: Cheese Pasta

At first, we cut the onion, broccoli, and shrimp and fry them with oil.
Next, if we fry them enough, add butter and cheese into them.
Third, add pasta that we already boil into the fry-pan and fry.
Finally, we put on a little bit hot source on top of the pasta.
The new ingredients for next player are chiken, egg, noodle, and eggplant.

Article 1
President Obama promised in his campaign to preserve President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative aimed at helping social service programs sponsored by religious organizations win federal grants and contracts. He also promised a vitally important change: groups receiving federal money would no longer be allowed to hire employees on the basis of their religion.Skip to next paragraph
The idea was to prevent discrimination and preserve the boundary between church and state. But Mr. Obama has not made good on the promise. His February executive order revamping the White House office for religion-based and neighborhood programs left untouched a 2002 presidential directive authorizing religious-oriented programs that receive federal financing to hire and fire on religious grounds.
Also left untouched was a constitutionally suspect 2007 memo concluding that the government cannot order religious groups not to discriminate as a condition of federal financing — even in programs like Head Start, where religious discrimination is outlawed. The memo, based on a far-fetched interpretation of the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act, was produced by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel. That is the same outfit that wrote the memos authorizing torture.
A coalition of 58 religious, educational and civil liberties groups is now seeking to reverse the 2007 memo. A group letter last month to Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. asked him to direct the current Office of Legal Counsel to review and withdraw the memo. Mr. Holder should do so, and Mr. Obama should revise his February executive order to include the anti-discrimination language that he omitted the first time around.
As a candidate, Mr. Obama drew the right line. Effective social service programs should not be ineligible for federal dollars just because they have a religious affiliation. But they should be required to abide by the same anti-discrimination laws as everyone else. Public money should not be used to pay for discrimination.

Article 2
The last few years have seen a boom in 3-D movies. And a new generation of cameras, projectors and light-processing technologies — relying on such things as circularly polarized light — has transformed the process. Watching old 3-D movies, you felt as if you were looking at a flat screen with occasional protrusions. Watching the re-release of “Toy Story” — and especially the trailer for the 3-D version of “A Christmas Carol” — you feel as if you’re looking through the surface of a snow globe and sometimes as if you’re falling right into it.
Leaving the theater we found ourselves thinking about the best 3-D effect of all: walking out of a 3-D movie and into a 3-D city. (What a subtle world we live in!) The actual world doesn’t have to create the illusion of its three-dimensionality. Its depth is so pervasive that we forget to notice it. We register it with a kind of 3-D equanimity, taking in everything as part of the natural field of view. There’s an unexpected serenity, a calmness, in how we see.
That was the pleasure of walking up Broadway from the theater. When a man looking for spare change said “Hey, bub!” his face didn’t leap into the foreground, nor did we suddenly see ourselves walking toward him from his point of view. The light mist that was falling didn’t hang like the northern lights between us.
It was a pleasure to take 3-D for granted and marvel, for a few blocks at least, at the subtlety of the special effects inherent in ordinary perception.

Article 3
New Yorkers in and out of government should be concerned by new statistics showing that homelessness has reached an all-time high and that 120,000 men, women and children resorted to the shelter system during the fiscal year that ended this summer. The spike in homelessness is especially troubling because it has arrived before the onset of winter, which typically drives people in off the streets, filling the shelter system to bursting.
The Bloomberg administration says it is fully prepared for the winter rush and has been adjusting all along for a rise in demand for shelter that began two years ago. Even so, the administration should keep looking down the road to determine if new populations are becoming vulnerable and if new policies might be needed to keep endangered families in their homes.
The city attributes most of the rise in homelessness to the economy. It says the problem is not as bad here as in other cities and would be worse if not for refinements in the system, including programs that channel people into permanent homes and that prevent at-risk families from becoming homeless in the first place. The administration points with justifiable pride to the fact that the shelter system is more humane than it was a decade ago.
Advocates for the homeless and the hungry, however, continue to be suspicious of the city’s motives. They argue that the city has driven some vulnerable families to the brink with bureaucratic obstacles that make it difficult for qualified families to receive welfare and food-stamp benefits. A bone of contention between the advocates and the city dates to 2005 when Mayor Michael Bloomberg ended the practice of channeling shelter residents into apartments paid for by the federal Section 8 housing voucher program, which was then under attack by the Bush administration and in disfavor with Congress.
Under Section 8, people keep subsidies as long as they remain income eligible. In 2007, New York created a time-limited program under which working families get support services and rent subsidies that end after two years. The point was to get as many families as possible to stand on their own, but the advocates are predicting disaster when the subsidies run out and are calling for the city to return to the Section 8 strategy. The Bloomberg administration contends that this program has worked well and that only a tiny fraction of the families have reverted to homelessness. But the city should keep a close watch on these families as the subsidies phase out.

Summarizing exercise

Main Ideas:
- Bad behavior has become a normal element of many sport events on college
-it is a big challenge to stop this behavior, without breaking the First Amendment,
-however legal experts claim that College Authorities can stop this behavior without breaking the First Amendment-one of the solutions is that colleges should make a speech policies
-some other ideas are that sports coaches and athletes should talk to students, to improve behavior on sport games

Summary:
In his article Eric Hoover is explaining how incivility has become an everyday problem in colleges all over the nation. College Administrations are trying to find a proper way to fix saying bad words and bad behavior, but it is hard because many students feel that they have freedom of speech, and nobody warned them before. Healing this problem is a long period, it is hard to teach student how to support their tams without bad words and violent behavior if they have been doing it by now. (Eric Hoover, 69-74)

Now many students often insult the visiting team players. That is a bad behavior which is discussed by some people. All the people think that this behavior should be limited. However, a large number of students do it during the games and they even claim that it can give energy for their team. Good thing is that some college has improved this behavior happened. One people defined students as the six men to encourage them keeping passion and reduce bad language.

Summarizing an article

 Sport fans use bad words for cheering universities team.
 Officials are trying to stop students’ bad behavior.
 Coaches can help to solve the problem.
 Students think that they can assist their team by shouting to the visitor team.
 Administrators communicating with students to develop their matter
 Students became more polite after going through many improvement programs.

In Eric Hoover’s article “Crying Foul over Fans’ Boorish Behavior “he states that many of college students say bad words while them cheering their team. However, coaches and administrators are trying to reduce this impolite behavior by using useful strategies.

p69-74

The main ideas of the article
1. The phenomenon that Collegiate uses bad words during watching sports games become a normal in colleges.
2. The presidents of universities should come up some policies to warn the students about using bad words when watching games although the law supports them.
3. “Among student fans, politeness is a relative term.”
4. The action which has been takes in some colleges, actually positive the appropriate behavior that the students act during the games.

Summary
The article mainly talk about an issue about boorish behavior that students encounter during sports games in colleges. Although the law about free speech right supports collegiate to speak bad words during the games, the university still want to manipulate some policies to diminish the inappropriate actions. And in fact, some policies that the colleges working on did make some positive effects on students about appropriate actions during games.

Summary p.69-74

・Since saying bad words have become common, fans are getting personal
・Incivility at sports events is inevitable.
・Still, some administrators are trying to promote more tasteful cheering even if it is now a delicate era when students believe they have a right to say what they please while supporting the home team.
・Not only lecture or warnings from administrators but students themselves need efforts to clean up bad words.
・On the other hand, it is also a fact that administrators welcome most of the noise they make asking for making their home hostile environment.
・Coaches talking to the students at the beginning of the season, broadcasting reminders about sportsmanship from coaches or players just before games starts may help avoiding bad words.
・Communication between students and administrators is a key to improve fan behavior.

Summary

Accorfing to the author, prohibiting incivility completely at sports events is not easy task because it closely relates with people's rights to speech that they can please and express what they think. However, incivity can be restricted by a lot of efforts and regular discussions such as remindering and enphasizing sportsmanship before starting games, not controlling how fans should behave rather than how decent cheers should be done.

5.Coaches of the home team should try and talk to the fans cause it is believed that the students listen to them.
According to Eric Hoover, fans tend to alter offensive and abusive words at players mostly in basketball games, and sport authorities believe that this should be stopped by the school authorities. It has been proven to be very difficult to stop this, some universities have practice made different attempts like, asking coaches of the team to talk to these fans because they believe that the students are more likely to listen to them. The authorities should also try and work with student leaders in trying to develop sportsmanship but the authorities encourage the fans altering words to an extent cause it is believed that this helps the teams players play well.
