The Huffington Post

The Huffington Post is a website with all blogs. I’m guessing the majority of the readers are younger people who actively use technology. The articles were well written.

The first big article is called “Obama takes on Coal with First Ever Carbon Limits” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/19/obama-carbon-limits_n_3958693.html

Obama is pressing the new coal powered plants, which will help with carbon emissions. Carbon emissions being one of the major pollutant.  The proposed rule will note have an immediate effect, but will eventually force the government to restrict current power plants.

I’m a huge Breaking Bad fan so this article was really entertaining to read. WARNING, this blog has spoilers. Here is the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/maureen-ryan/breaking-bad-ozymandias_b_3931402.html

The writer starts off by saying how hard the episode was to watch. Breaking Bad is nearing its end, the show only has two episodes left in the series. The author usually watch each episode twice so that they can absorb all the details, but after this particular episode they could not watch it twice. The episode is called ”Ozymandias” which is actually a poem in which, the episode was based on. Hank and Gomie died with in the first five minutes. The episode continued to become darker and darker as the show progressed. The famous “we’re family” scene really hit home to the author.” A long time ago, around the end of Season 3, I recall writing that the characters of “Breaking Bad” would never make me cry. I could not have been more wrong about that.”

The last story I covered is called “7 Features of iOS7 That Will Change Your Life.”
