In addition to providing the link to the article and its title, include a brief summary of the story as well as a few sentences describing its relevancy to issues discussed in class.  Please look closely at posts which have already been contributed to the Issues of Interest #2 blog; you may not post a response to an article already used by a classmate.  Each response should be different and unique!

 2)    Relevancy to course material/discussion (5 pts)

 

 3)    Summary of the article (5 pts) 

 4)   Critical reflection on the source (4 pts)
