Published in the New York Times (2/4/13), this article was about the recent discovery of the skeletal remains beneath a parking lot belonging to King Richard III, on the basis of DNA and various skeletal information.

Some ranging from the Iphone 5, all the way to discussions about building Robots that mingle safely with humans.

Recently, the New York times has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize, which is the award for newspaper and journalism. Many articles that had large impact on them getting the Pulitzer Prize were those concerning issues such as 9/11, Tax Loopholes for the Wealthy, and Famine and Disease in Eastern Africa. This is a very highly honored award, and this is very cool to see a newspaper, such as the New York Times be awarded this prestigious award. This award was started 1917, when Joseph Pulitzer gave his money in his will to Columbia College. The award was $250,000.

I found the two best online resources to be EBSCO and the New York Times. I had to go through EBSCO to get to relevant New York Times articles Most of the information I found was historical or about the prison now. I did not find too much information about the prisoners themselves except for the fact that Alcatraz held some of the countries most dangerous criminals. the New York Times not only gave me the most information on my topic but also was the easiest to use. The other sites were not easy to navigate around and often gave you non relevant articles.

Research Databases Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

Historical New York Times was the most useful resource for me to use in researching the topic of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. I found many articles about the deaths of former NFL players that during post-mortem brain examinations were found to have CTE. Newsbank had some of the same articles. Worldbook had nothing specifically about CTE. Using these databases is a good way to find more generalized information about CTE and it is a good supplement to medical journals in researching this topic.

The Historical New York Times is helpful in finding news stories that have been published. One interesting article discovered was that Apple found no forced labor in South China but that some codes were being breached pertaining to labor. These immediately were remedied. FoxConn a supplier of Apple was found to have living spaces that were far too close and asked FoxConn to change the situation. (Apple uses 15% of their workers) Apple also hired Verite to supervise the disciplinary conditions at this factory as there had been two cases of workers being punished by standing at attention.

According the the New York Times, a recent study found that there is therapeutic value for teenagers in blogging.

I keep a blog. In fact, I keep many. Each one with its own purpose, layout, format, and types of followers. For instance, I have one blog entirely dedicated to images, quotes, videos- you name it- that strike my interest. I also have an art focused blog, a pop culture blog, and a personal blog.

One of the New York Times's best seller, Life of Pi by Yann Martel is one of the most captivating novels concerning what it takes in order to survive rather fatal situations. When Pi finds himself stranded with some of his family's most dangerous zoo animals he has to take action (many of which contradict what he has always lived by) in order to survive. With excellent reviews, some that have came from our very own president, Life of Pi is a must read novel.
