The topic of my article is over Ammon Bundy and his crew taking over a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon. The title of my article is: “Oregon takeover breaks the law: Our view.” I got this article from: http://www.usatoday.com

The problem with Bundy’s patriotic sounding claim the Constitution stands for the rule of law — which Bundy and his crew are breaking. The crew doesn’t have a right to force something by using guns or by putting people in a dangerous situation. This is the second time in 2 years that Bundy and his crew have incited protest at gunpoint.

I don’t agree with the way that Bundy and his crew are protesting. I believe that they have the right to protest, but not by putting people at gunpoint and threatening to hurt people. Also I don’t think Bundy should be doing this, because he owes over 1 million dollars just for his grazing feeds for his ranch. He hasn’t paid his fees in over 2 decades. That’s why I don’t agree they should be protesting with a such forceful approach.

This impacts the world greatly. By just normal everyday people doing this type of thing can start revolts all across the world. All of that can happen just because some rancher decides he’s in such a big mess with fees, that he tries to hide it by creating an even larger scene. I believe that it’s not just Bundy who will take all of the blame, but he is just the main person behind this. That’s why I hope that Oregon gets this issue under control pretty soon, or else this could get bad.

The topic of my article is about the stock market heading downwards in China. I found this article at Bloomberg.com. The title of this story is, “The Stock Market Hasn’t Had a Selloff Like This in Over 75 Years”.

This problem is going on in China as we speak. Their stock market is shooting straight downwards. This has been a major issues over the past half year, but the stability has dropped tremendously just a few weeks ago. This is happening because a bunch of companies are losing too much money so they have to shut down or limit their production. This is what is really hurting the stock market. I’m actually very surprised that this is happening. The reason is that China is always selling a bunch of their products and goods to different countries around the world. I feel this won’t be a severe problem for long. The market will most likely rise back up sometime in this upcoming year. This affects many countries as well as the US, because we import all of China’s productions, because it’s cheaper than if we had to produce it. The reason why China is cheaper, is because of so many people working in sweatshops and getting paid 5 cents an hour. So if China can’t get things back up soon, then other countries will have to step up and take China’s place. So in the bigger picture, this event could either change the world, or it could not be that big of a deal at all. But hopefully China can get their market back up, so things go back to normal.

The topic of my article is over Tony Romo opening the play book up more with his return. The title of my article is “Tony Romo’s return opens up Cowboys’ playbook”. I got my article from:
http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4747269/tony-romos-return-opens-up-cowboys-playbook

Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo, is for sure coming back this week to play against the Miami Dolphins. Tony has been out with a broken left collarbone and has been unable to play. With Romo’s return, comes the return of some plays that the team has not been able to perform due to lack of experience with the Cowboys playbook. Looking back at last year, the Cowboys played amazing in November and December, and hopefully that’s what they’ll show us this year.

I feel that this has a huge affect on the rest of the team. The reason is that Romo has been with the team his whole career, which is 13 years. Since he has been with the team so long, and so has his Tight End Jason Witten, he has formed a special passing scheme with a few of his players. He usually likes to throw it to Witten on big plays and 3rd downs. He likes to throw to his other favorite target, Dez, on big yardage plays. This is how the offense has been working for a long time now. So when a backup quarterback comes in, the players don’t have as much experience and trust with him. That’s why I believe this will affect how the Cowboys play this week.

This affects all of the Cowboys fans out there, because everybody has been waiting for Romo to come back for 7 weeks now, and now it’s finally happening. Although, the Cowboys have had a tough season, most Cowboys fans believe that with Romo coming back, the Cowboys still have a chance to make it to the playoffs. The Cowboys fans around the world are ready to sit down this Sunday and this coming up Thanksgiving and watch the Cowboys hopefully pull off two wins. The true Cowboys fans have stuck with the team even through the tough to watch games with the whole team struggling. Now all of the fans who stuck with the Cowboys will be able to say it was worth sticking with the team through the hard times, now that success is hopefully coming soon.

The topic of my article is over Quarterback Tony Romo being the Cowboys need in their losing streak right now. The title of my article is: “With Romo’s Return, Roger Staubach High On Cowboys Chances”. I got this article from:
http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4747043/with-tony-romos-return-roger-staubach-high-on-cowboys-chances

With Tony Romo being hurt the past 6 weeks, the Cowboys have gone winless with a heartbreaking overall record of 2-6. Surprisingly though, don’t count the Cowboys out of the playoffs. The Cowboys still have a small chance to get back on a rally whenever Tony Romo comes back from his injury from week 2.

I believe that whenever Romo comes back that the Cowboys will only lose one more game. I think that if the Cowboys can pull off a win against Tampa Bay this week, and if the Giants lose this week, then the Cowboys still have a very good chance to come back and clinch the NFC East. Even though Romo won’t be back this week, I believe that the Cowboys will still manage to pull off a win over the Buccaneers. The Cowboys barely lost last week to the Philadelphia Eagles, but they still looked good. The Cowboys have been playing better and better each week since Joseph Randle has left the team due to criminal activity last February. That’s partially because Randle’s replacement Darren McFadden has been playing his best football of his career, which is taking pressure off of Matt Cassel, backup quarterback.

This will make all of the Cowboys fans excited to hear that the team, and even the retired former Cowboys players are excited that Romo is coming back soon. The truth is though the team can’t only depend on Romo, although, he is a major leader who motivates people, and that’s what the Cowboys are missing right now. “You can’t sit and wait on Romo,” DL Jeremy Mincey said. “He’s not Jesus you know”. Mincey is right, the Cowboys can’t be depending on Romo yet. Matt Cassel has to still play one more game, and that’s what the team needs to be focusing on. Hopefully though whenever Romo does come back, the Cowboys will play with more enthusiasm and effort.

The topic of my article is about Blue Bell ice cream company starting phase two of their production. The title of my article is: “Blue Bell: Phase Two.” I got my article from:
http://www.cspnet.com/category-news/snacks-candy/articles/blue-bell-phase-two

Blue Bell ice cream company has just started back their next stage of production. Their plant was forced to close down after a few people died from eating their ice cream due to Listeria monocytogenes. The areas included in the phase two production will be in Parts of Oklahoma, and also more parts of Texas. Phase two will take effect in stores of these locations starting on November 2nd, all of the way to the end of this week, depending on how close the areas are to the plant in Texas.

Blue Bell coming back to areas in Texas and Oklahoma excites me. It has been a pretty long time since I have had any Blue Bell product, and I can’t wait till I take a bite of some ice cream when it comes to my area. Blue Bell had to close down in order to ever come back into business, because some of their products were contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The closest store near us that sells Blue Bell right now is in Henderson county, which is right outside of Tyler. I personally believe that Blue Bell is the best ice cream brand there is.

The news of Blue Bell starting phase two has been all over the news and newspapers lately. Everybody is excited about Blue Bell coming back, for the most part anyways. Some people believe that Blue Bell isn’t any better than other ice cream brands, but even though I don’t agree, I still can understand where they are coming from. Some people across the country do over exaggerate over how good Blue Bell taste. People all over the country have been waiting for about 3/4 of a year for Blue Bell to start selling ice cream again. Whenever Blue Bell comes all the way back into full production people who have been waiting for a while will be relieved that they can now live since they have their Blue Bell back.

The topic of my article is about Dez Bryant coming back to play with the Cowboys in week 8.  The title of my article is: Dez Bryant Feeling Good In Return To Practice.  I got this article from:  http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4746552/dez-bryant-feeling-good-in-return-to-practice

Dez Bryant, Cowboys star receiver, has been injured ever since the beginning of the season.  Bryant was expected to play last week, but he wasn’t healthy enough to get released by the trainers.  This week though he is already participating in full practice.  Bryant says that he feels much better this week, and to expect him on the field.

This makes me excited.  I was really bummed whenever I heard that Dez Bryant was listed as out against the Giants in week 7.  Bryant is full of energy, and plays the game with emotion, which motivates the whole team.  This affects me, because I will be able to see how whenever Dez comes back, how it affects the whole team because he is such a big leader in that Dallas Cowboys offense.  Hopefully Dez is all the way healthy, and isn’t trying to get back on the field too early, for he doesn’t get hurt any worse.

This impacts all of the Cowboys fans out there.  The reason is that we know that Dez always comes up clutch whenever the Cowboys need him most.  Also, right now, the Cowboys receivers have not been getting open as much ever since Dez has been gone.  Hopefully whenever Dez returns everything will go back to normal.  “We still going to run the East,” Dez said at the end of last week’s game to some Giants fans.  Hopefully whenever Tony Romo comes back, the same best quarterback-wide receiver duo in the league will go back to normal.

The subject of my article is about Matt Cassel becoming the starter for the Dallas Cowboys. The title of the article is: “Cowboys Hope to Feed Off Matt Cassel’s Presence.” I got this article from:
http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4746347/cowboys-hope-to-feed-off-matt-cassels-presence

The Cowboys have gone 0-3 ever since the 2nd string quarterback Brandon Weeden took over for the injured Tony Romo in week 3. Over the Cowboys bye week, head coach Jason Garrett decided it was time for a change at the QB position. The solution was to let hometown kid, Matt Cassel, start against the New York Giants after their bye week. The Cowboys are keeping their fingers crossed that this replacement will hold them off until Tony Romo comes back from his injury.

This is a good thing that the Cowboys are switching up QB’s, and giving Matt Cassel a chance to prove himself, since Brandon Weeden has not yet proven himself. This makes me have hope that the Cowboys still have a chance to make it to the playoffs, even though they’ve had way too many injuries this year already, and the season isn’t even halfway over yet. It will be interesting to watch the Cowboys this Sunday. The reason is that over the bye week, the quarterback position isn’t the only one that they’ve made changes in. Some of the changes are that La’el Collins will start over Ron Leary on the offensive line. Also, star receiver, Dez Bryant, will probably be back in the lineup after battling a broken foot after week 1’s game. All of these changes may not help the team, but they certainly couldn’t hurt them any worse, so they might as well give it a shot.

This taking affect officially makes every single Cowboys fan happier. The reason being is that everybody knows that Matt Cassel couldn’t be any worse than Brandon Weeden, but the Cowboys have still been giving Brandon the starts, but here pretty soon, as soon as this Sunday, all the Cowboys fans will be watching the game to see if all these position changes helped the team. Everybody has a feeling that since Brandon Weeden is not the starter anymore, that the Cowboys will be changing up their passing scheme a lot. There probably won’t be quite as much shovel passes as there were when Brandon was the starter, because Matt Cassel has a good arm and has the ability to throw the ball down the field. So the Cowboys this Sunday are hoping that Matt can just give them enough to win the game against their division rivals,the New York Giants.

Humans Of New York Article

“My friend and I played on the same team since we were seven years old. In middle school we won the state championship together. I had 37 points. The head coach for Penn State was there, and he pulled us both aside after the game and told us that he wanted us to come play for Penn State. But I lost focus in high school. I started hanging out with friends and partying. Soon I was missing practice and the coach wouldn’t put me in the game. I got frustrated and quit my junior year. But my friend was more determined. He was always the first one at practice and the last one to leave. He always did what the coach told him. Now he starts for Villanova. And I’m back out here. I haven’t given up though. Maybe I can play overseas.”

I liked this particular story, because the troubles this man had in his life are not holding him back now and he’s trying to get his second chance.  He now knows why it’s so important to keep working and never give, or else others will pass you or you will beat yourself down.  This article helps me understand why our parents and elders always tell us to not give up, and also to keep school ahead of sports.  This was a very good life lesson to read about and you should read it.  Just type in this link here:
