LONG RESPONSE:


Recently The Texas Department of Public safety wanted APD to investigate their labs.Four of the workers at the lab were asked to leave work with the sate.The Workers that manipulated with the confidential work that goes on in the lab have drawn the Austin's local center to close. Disobeying the rules within the lab caused many salty results and testing.The Austin lab is in the works of closing for misuse of information ,and the little number of a trust worthy staff.The community will 100% be effected by the closing of the lab ,because now tests and labs won't be completed as fast as before.Austin Police should stay out of the labs because it will cause more problems to rise from the already large issue.The state of Texas should more closely control the lab due to its important role in the community.

LONG RESPONSE :

In Colorado city,Texas Iraan football team took a victorious win at they football game letting them advance to the semi final game.Though things were all extremely joyful for the high school after the big win ,it did not last long. Unfortunately,Iraan high schools cheer team was in tragic bus accident on the way home from the game. yes i enjoyed this piece because the first thing you see the you look at the piece is the positive victory of the high school.But before you know it the tragedy of the cheerleaders is stated and the story from there was grim.
The writers in this story really elaborated on the car accident allowing me to really understand what happened in and after the crash.The writers gave a public service announcement at eh beginning of the piece,something that is never done in a feature story,and was allowed because of the circumstances of the occurrence.
