The reason for choosing this as a source is because it tells you about how unemployment has went up a certain percent. In the article I choose it talks briefly about unemployment and what Obama hopes to change in the years to come. Also the website I chose gives a little background on unemployment and if I was to continue the story I would need to know about the unemployment rate through out the world.

2.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_GOP_stand_for_in_terms_of_the_Republican_Party
Since I didn’t know what GOP stood for I would want to research that information just to make sure when using it as a abbreviation it doesn’t stand for anything else


3.http://www.icfi.com/Newsroom/news.asp?ID=27&_kk=dependence%20on%20foreign%20oil&_kt=3c924f3a-3360-4cf4-b1e5-dba0bd8031f5&gclid=COPG-uWHtJgCFUoa3godeCieTg
I choose this website because it gives s little information on how much money we as people can save on gas if we reduce the dependence on gas like Obama brings up in his article.

4. When looking over the article I chosen at the end of the page it says something about economic stimulus. To reassure myself on what exactly that is I would also gather information from a site to get better knowledge on it and also get a better understanding why Obama plans on changing it to make it better. Down below are two sources I would use.

Business Feature Article #1

Being a college student at Eastern Michigan University, there comes a time when I just want to just go somewhere with friends and relax. Through the week I am either working or doing school work, so on the weekends I like to have fun. Being from another city I’ve came to realized that there’s not much to do around the Ypsilanti area. So I decided to do a business feature article and open a new business called Skate on all Fours, which is a skating ring. Back at home friends go to the near by Rolladium and skate, mingle with friends and just have fun.
Before getting started I asked my fellow classmates on campus what they do for fun, and most replies were either go to the movies, have friends over there houses and or nothing. “I think having a Skating Ring will definitely be entertaining and something new. I myself wouldn’t mine going” said sophomore Kenesha Long.
When looking over how much it cost to skate now and days I did the pricing around others. The cost varies from $7.00-$15.00 depending whether or not you have your own skates or if you’ll be renting from us.
Skate on all Fours, is for all ages and will be opened Monday-Sunday, there be certain events held like college night. College night basically speaks for itself, it will happen every Friday from 8pm-2am and you must be a college student or at least eighteen in order to get in. There will be no alcoholic drinks neither served nor permitted due to many purposes. Like many other places there will be a concession stand that sells everything from burgers, pizza, pretzels, hotdogs, nachos and etc. as well as a pop machine.
Another thing that Skate on all Fours offer is a game room, where those who just want to play little games for $0.25 cents and candy machines for the same price as well.
Skate on all Fours, is for everyone even parents to come and have a good time, skating to your favorite music and being apart of something new. Skate on all Fours is an indoor skating ring and will be opened all year round. Most people may say that they don’t know how to skate, and that the joy of opening something like this, at Skate on all Fours there will be lessons that you can pay for to learn how so there’s no excuses not to join in on the fun. “I actually do have my own pair of skates but never wear them because I have no where to wear them to, and I have not skated since I was a child so I’m pretty sure I’ll be sitting,” said freshman Kendall Lewis. If you do decide to skate a little but would rather sit as well there will be sitting areas where you can enjoy sitting on a comfortable booth, table and or chair.
When looking on the internet I found many articles about the different forms of skating and because this is an indoor skating rink you can either rent your skates which either come on four wheels or the in line skating on three and if you your own you can skate on those as well. To secure everyone’s safety and make sure everyone have a great time, there will be lockers inside the skating ring with already key locks already provided no need to bring your own. Another ting for the first time skaters there will be a woman and or man on the wood floor helping those who have fallen, making sure there ok .
When looking over many articles on skating, there are many different types and some consider skating a sport. I read an article that gave safety tips that which can help benefit those with younger children and decide to take them to Skate on all Fours. The number one tip is just being aware of your surroundings. Teenagers like myself like to skate in pairs and or groups and can sometimes not pay attention and bump into someone else. Just being aware and making sure that your not going to fast where you’re going to endanger someone else.
This was just a brief pre-view on what’s next to come. Hope to see you all there and ready to have fun and experience Skate on all Fours. Just remember it’s a place to have fun and mingle so when your weekends looking dull and boring come down to Skate on all Fours and be apart of the new experience.

Feat. Writing Article #3

1. Commemorative Story
For a story like this I would write something about either 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina. The people that I would interview would be the survivors of the stories and ask more questions about what happened since they were there at the time it was happening. Even talk to and gather information from people who lost family members sue to the incident, how have they overcome the situation and what they felt that time of year.
2. Medical story
3. Number Story
For a number story based on the topic I would gather information reaching out to people or finding out for myself. I read an article that numbered the top ten movies in the year 2008. I would have to interview people and get there reactions on the information as well as looking over the movies that made the list. Another thing is I would have to survey the movies chosen, again using the sources from the people.
4. Business story
If I were to write an article about a new business opening up, I would gather my information from the main source which is the owner. Asking questions as to why there choosing to open this particular business and if they feel it will be successful. I would also gather my information from the people around the neighborhood and even asking other established business owners how they feel about the business opening up.
5. Explanatory story
6. Historical story
7. Overview story
8. Profile story
In a profile story I would gather background information on the person first, making sure before I do the article on he/she that I know a little bit about there background and history. Based on the article being written I would use sources needed. For example, if I did an profile article on the new football coach coming to Eastern University I would gather my information up from the students that attend the university and the football players.
9. Odd occupation story
10. How to….
It seems like everywhere I turn around people are trying to loose weight, I remember seeing an article called How To Loose Weight before summer, with an article like this I would again interview the people who reads the article and actually use it daily. Get sources from the food, looking at what makes what there eating different from others and how there losing weight by eating it. Ask the readers if they feel this information is helpful also interview those who do follow these tips and is successful with loosing the weight. Asking if it really helped and do they encourage others?
