NFL's $45 million man helps Skid Row teen's college dream
Summary:
This clip shows us, "The high school honor student (who is homeless) and the NFL's highest-paid defensive back stroll down the destitute streets of Skid Row.
Seventeen-year-old Kenneth Chancey is giving a tour to Nnamdi Asomugha, showing the NFL star the streets that he and his sister used to walk to get to school while living in a Skid Row homeless shelter. Prostitutes, addicts and drug dealers scatter. "Camera! Camera!" they shout." It lets us know about Skid Row, and Kenneth Chancey. It shows us their neighborhood.
Response:
I think that this clip is a very great clip to show around the world. This shows the highest paid cornerback in the NFL caring for some homeless kid and wants to help him out. This media all star helps everyone gain interest in this country for homeless people! I think it will help people feel more tender about homeless people, and it was a great clip.

Is Texting More Important Than Your Life??
"Text-Messaging Behind the Wheel"
"http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1817856,00.html
Summary:
"First it was drinking. Then it was cell phones. Now text-messaging is the latest behind-the-wheel activity lawmakers are trying to curb. A Nationwide Insurance survey found that 18% of cell phone owners text and drive and that drivers between the ages of 16 and 30 are the most frequent texters. Young adults have even posted videos of themselves texting while driving on YouTube, and nearly 600 people have joined a Facebook group called "I Text Message People While Driving And I Haven't Crashed Yet!"
This article is mostly trying to get out to people that driving while texting is a distraction, and very dangerous. It also talks about how it would be hard to enforce the law because its hard to see someone texting because texting is usually lower.
Response:
I agree with this article and I think this is a huge issue in this society. Lots of deaths and injuries are caused because of people wanting to to text while driving. Texting while driving is very dangerous and it should be a law that if your caught texting while driving you would recieve a huge ticket. This would prevent lots of deaths and would make the rodes a lot safer!
