Two Charter Schools have been closed down in southern New Jersey. While there have been renewed grants for some New Jersey Charter Schools or at least put on probation, the Department of Education (D.O.E.) has decided to shut down the Charter School in Camden County and the Renaissance Regional Leadership Charter School in Pemberton County by revoking its grants to these institutions. This was the result of having only fourteen percent achievement in students testing performance in their academic studies. According to the D.O.E. officials, these statistics show students unsatisfactory performances in their studies and abilities, so closing these two Charter Schools is imperative by the end of the academic year. Unlike the Marion P. Thomas Charter School and the Visions Academy Charter High School provides only high school education, the D.O.E. is granting them license to teach pre-K through 12 grades. .

In Massachusetts, if you dont want to go to jail just dont picture clothings. According to the bill that just passed in Massachusetts, people who take pictures of others clothing without a permission will face two years or more in prison or pay a fine of about five thousand dollars. This is due to Michael Robertson, who in 2010 was accused of taking pictures of womens crotch without these womens permission. Since Massachusetts law of taking secretly nude pictures of others was not consistent with Michael case, because all these women were dressed, Massachusetts state legislature needed to pass such law to punish people who take picture of others intimate parts nude or not.

Lasts year passed-restrictions by Republican Lawmakers and Governor Rick Perry is resulting in less abortion clinics in Texas. Recently, two abortion clinics has closed down in the poorest part of East Texas city of Beaumont and McAllen. It is stated that there was forty-four abortion clinics throughout Texas, but now there is only twenty-four. It is expected that around September the number of clinics in Texas should shut down and leave about six clinics. This happened because these clinics are not

meeting the requirements asked last year. Amy Hagstrom Miller chief executive of Whole Womans Health said these two clinics that assisted three thousand women annually, closed down because these clinics Doctors didnt have permission to perform at hospitals near 30 miles from their workplace. Now these women have to take road trips of about three to five hours to San Antonio or Austin.

NJ revokes 2 charter schools, renews 10 others

For this Article I only used the fact that two Charters Schools were being closed. And that two others were given the chance to provide education from k-12. I didn't mention the other the other schools were getting the award or being put on probatory. I also didn't mention who provided the information, for I try to generalize and narrow the information. http://www.nj.com/education/2014/03/nj_revokes_2_charter_schools_rene ws_10_others.html

Florida woman with same name as NJ teen suing parents is harassed, attacked on Facebook
This article is short itself, but I try my best to make it specific. I didn't use how the amount Florida's Canning got from being confused for the real Canning. I abstained myself from using numbers. In my story I added emotions such as "She got shock" because I assume she got shocked for real, and who wouldn't have gotten shocked by this? http://www.nj.com/morris/index.ssf/2014/03/florida_woman_with_same_na me_as_nj_teen_suing_parents_is_mercilessly_harassed_on_facebook.htm l#incart_river

Massachusetts: Bill Passes Banning Upskirt Images

I generalize in this summary a great deal. I didn't provide enough information about Michael Roberson. Second, I tried to make it short and don't mention where this person got arrested. Plus, in my summary I didn't not say when was this bill passed. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/07/us/massachusetts-bill-passes-banningupskirt-images.html?ref=us

Abortion Law Pushes Texas Clinics to Close Doors

This is a pretty long article that I summarized. In this article there are some quotes that I did not incorporate in my summary. This article mentions two types of law, but I only mentioned one. I mentioned the one is taking pace now but not the one that will take effect in September. In my opinion the article's story evolves on the law that Doctors should be allowed into a hospital within 30 miles from there workplace. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/07/us/citing-new-texas-rules-abortionprovider-is-shutting-last-clinics-in-2-regions.html?hp&_r=0

Thailand offers tourists chance to win a new face

This article provides the kind of questions one will be asked if wanted to participated in this makeover. I tried to brief enough and add the web site instead of listing the questions participants will be asked. I also did not mention the part in the article where says around 1.2 million medical tourist go to thailand, just for medical procedures, and that there is about 30 hospitals that are accredited by the United States.

North Korea Rejects Plans for More Family Reunions

In this Article as well as the others I miss using exact numbers. I didn't mention how hight the airplane was. I also failed to mention that the reunions between North Koreans and South Koreans started on February 24th. There are persons quoted in this article who I did not include in this brief summery. I only used the facts about the missile that passed the same fight's path, and also why North Korea got mad at the "criticism" from South Korean. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/07/world/asia/north-korea-rejects-plansfor-more-family-reunions.html?ref=asia

For sports I basically look for famous soccer teams and when they were playing a match. I also found information about a soccer player who got wounded, I did not mention who was expected to cover for him. The other article I summarize was about a soccer player who kick another soccer player's foot and broke it. I did not say anything about the appeal his agency is trying to file so he can play again. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1983446-jack-wilsheres-injury-a-problemfor-arsenal-and-england-but-also-an-opportunity

CATE BLANCHETT CELEBRATES OSCARS TRIUMPH BY GETTING INKED

For this Entertainment article I had to paraphrase it. It was really short; however, I didn't include the age of the actress and the black bandage it was mention in the original article or her husband. I believed that the story it was just her and the tattoo that was assumed she got as a reward after winning the Oscar. http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/famous/gossip/article/-/21845610/cateblanchett-celebrates-oscars-triumph-by-getting-inked/
