Overall I enjoyed writing, reading, and responding to the blog assignments. I felt like that was a very good way to be directed towards a topic while still having a large amount of freedom to work with. Reading everyone's blogs was defenitely interesting and it didn't feel like school work most of the time, which is a good thing. The only frustrating part was having to go back and forth from the class blog list to read each one, but I'm not sure how that problem could be fixed. All in all, I enjoyed being apart of this class and would recommend it to any of my peers that are interesting in any sort of writing/reporting.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe summer!!!

Favre Fever.... in Minnesota???
Nearly a year ago, the big news in the NFL was Brett Favre and his decision that he wants to continue to play football, whether in Green Bay or elsewhere. After an off-season of speculation and with Brett seemingly in the news every day he landed on the doorstep of the New York Jets. After what is fair to call a pretty ordinary season in New York he decides to call it quits again.
Now its the next off season and Favre must be feeling that itch again because there are reports that he is meeting with Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress. His agent reports that Favre is remaining retired, but why then would he be meeting with Childress as well as sending the Vikings medical reports regarding is injured shoulder. Its a tough call, but I think its safe to say that we are in for another summer dominated by Brett Favre headlines... For the latest on the Favre fiasco please visit ESPN.

Swine Flu Madness
It's hard not to be a little concerned after hearing all the reports of the new Swine Flu "epidemic". But how much of this panic is just hype? I know it is better to play things on the safe side, rather than ending up with a national catastrophe on our hands, but there seems to be some new kind of supposedly devastating illness in the news every so often. This Swine Flue definitely seems to be more widespread and of more concern then the last animal introduced sickness out there, Bird Flu.
However, for the most part it seems to be most dangerous in underdeveloped Central America areas and among the elderly. I don't think that is hardly something to raise such an enormous concern about considering a common cold can also be very dangerous to people in those demographics. Everyone is entitled to do what they feel is best regarding their own personal health and safety, but you won't see me walking down the street or at a sporting event sporting a very fashionable hospital mask.
