Our group has decided to cover the disaster exercise this coming friday. Our plan is to setup an actual news report that will start at like the news desk and cut to on seen reports with ME! I will be a reporter in the exercise and will film my interviews with the victims. Ben and Lindsay will be video taping and taking pictures. We will be using video and still shots.

How do LSC Students study
How do Lyndon State College students prepare for finals? Our footage captures both the lazy and the over zealous students as they get ready for exams.
The answers you would typically expect from students would be study, getting plenty of sleep, making note cards etc. The students we interviewed took preparing for exams to the extremes. Some students just try cramming the night before the exam, to make sure that they can remember the most important information; other students like to prepare the entire week before the exam. One student described waking up early every day to study, and spend the whole day studying only breaking for classes and food. Each student seems to know exactly what works for them. But then you get the clowns that don’t really prepare for the exams at all they like to sleep a lot, eat "healthy food" such as McDonald's and then drink lots of "water" the night before.
In one scene, you have a girl, Jill Rancourt, and she's frantically studying, searching through her books and comparing notes to the periodic table she looks as though she might have a nervous break down. In another scene, you have a guy, Jake Davis, who appears to be completely at ease like he's not worried in the least bit about exams. He's playing video games, sleeping on his futon and then wakes up to find a rather tasty looking burger on his stomach; later on he is seen with a case of beer.
No matter what you do to get ready for finals, I hope that you have fun and do well.

Newspaper Sites
I visited the BurlingtonFreePress.com and selected the video section. I thought it was a really good use of video. They were interesting video stories that probably would not have been interesting as written stories. I liked the organization of the video section as well its divided into News,Sports, and Entertainment.
I also visited AddisonIndependent.com, which is a smaller paper, but it does include video. Unfortunately it really doesn't have a large video selection. Any video would be under the multimedia tab, but this means all the medias are combined into 1 area and doesn't list what type of media the articles include whether it is a slideshow or a video or simply a picture. This is confusing and not effective because it makes it difficult to find videos, it also doesn't have interesting video stories.

Blurb: Student's wallets are growing while their tuition is dropping.
Lyndon students are finally paying less.
At a recent news conference it was announced that Lyndon State will be reducing students tuition by 10% for this coming fall.
"Without a doubt, this decrease is long overdue for our students." said Harold R. Drazsnzak, LSC vice president. A decrease is possible because of the increased revenue from the state.

Text: A woman was struck and killed by a car while crossing the lanes of traffic on Interstate 91.
Cynthia Long, 75, was trying to rescue a cat from the median on Sunday afternoon. When she was returning to her vehicle she was struck by a car. Johnathan Ribas, 28, was driving the said car.
The road and weather were both clear at the time of the accident. The case is still under investigation by the State Troopers. Anyone who witnessed the accident should contact the Vermont State Police Brattleboro at 802-254-2382 ask for Trooper Wagenbach.

My Pimped Blog
I chose gadgets that would appeal to my possible readers. This way they get interested and hooked on my blog.
I added an Event Gadget to my blog to promote Rugby, and it also comes with a google map which I know will make Dan happy.
I added a Youtube gadget because everyone loves searching for goofy videos, which will only increase the blogs popularity.
I added a countdown gadget that is counting down to Vacation. Because we all want out of here.
I also added funny things to ponder gadget. It posts interesting things to ponder. They are funny but really do make you think.
My background I found on a different site, because I wanted it to be interesting and fun!

NSNsports
Overall I like the site. It provides coverage for a lot of schools and sports that probably don't get a lot of news coverage.
There are a few small things that I was thinking could be changed. You could do statistics for the games, like high scorers and such. I also encourage to do interviews with coaches and players before and maybe after games.
Maybe put a link to the message board on the front page with like a question of week or something. No one really wants to navigate away from the front page to comment.
Also the Recent Video should be moved down under the weekly game schedule. For a greater response to the Fan poll you may want to consider moving it higher so people can see it, it blended right into the ads when I scrolled quickly through.
