On the bright side, its a celebration in Jersey city! Award given to the man who cares about our
skin...


Acting US Surgeon General Boris D. Lushniak (LUSH-nee-ack) receives the Live SunSmarts
Apollo Award for raising awareness about skin cancer, and how to enjoy the outdoors safely.
The award was presented at Live SunSmarts Places in the Sun Gala in Liberty State Park in
Jersey City last night. Lushniak, a U.S. Navy rear admiral said they advocate prevention of
diseases, and skin cancer is one of the most preventable diseases there is. There are over 9,000
people a year dying of melanoma (mel-uh-NOH-muh) in America, and many of those cases are
preventable, he said. Lushniak doesnt suggest staying inside, but when in the outdoors, just be
aware of ultraviolet exposure, wear sunscreen, a hat, protective clothing, and be aware of
sunlight.

A first for the state of Missouri....
Lawmakers in Missouri gave a final approval to a law that requires a 72 hour wait from a
womans first doctors visit to the time she gets an abortion. The House, controlled primarily by
Republicans, voted 111-39 in favor of the measure Wednesday night. Democratic Governor Jay
Nixon, has not yet announced whether he will sign the legislation or not. However, if the
Governor signs the bill into law, it will triple the waiting time for a woman to get an abortion in
Missouri. As of now, the wait in the state is 24 hours, between the time a woman seeks her first
consultation and exam from a physician, and the time she undergoes the abortion procedure,
according to state Representative Kevin Elmer. Elmer, who sponsored the bill also known as
HB1307, said it simply gives the woman extra time to decide. Of course, abortion rights supports
downed the bill, calling it intrusion on personal lives.

flyer include a claim stating that the men were found responsible by the University for sexual
assaults. The final name is said to be a serial rapist. A student0run online news site for the
university said that it demanded a staff member whose name is on the list to resign from their
position permanently, in a statement. Whoever is behind the flyers and campaign is anonymous,
and has generated rage and support at the campus. The university declined to comment on the
fliers.

Two young Upstate New York boys ages five and six are recovering after falling almost two
stories, when a gust of wind swept up the inflatable house they were playing in Monday,
according to police. They were seriously injured by the incident while playing in a yard near
their apartment building in South Glens Falls, New York. A police statement said the bounce
house was carried by a sudden and strong burst of wind. After the house was lifted 15 to 20
feet in the air, the boys fell to the ground. A few moments after, the 6 year old was found in the
street, while the 5 year old was found in the apartment building parking lot. In a rush, the boys
were airlifted to the Albany Medical Center, and the severity of their injuries was unknown at the
time. A recent police investigation concluded that adults were monitoring the children, and the
inflatable house was properly staked to the ground.

After tragedy in Turkey, eighteen are still trapped,,,
Three days following the explosion and fire in western Turkey, 18 miners are believed to still be
trapped underground, Energy Minister Taner (TAY-ner) Yildiz (yeel-DEES) said this morning.
At a news conference, the death toll was confirmed at 284 and now could rise to 302, he said, if
the men still feared to be trapped in the Soma coal mine have all died after the explosion.
Estimates prior to this morning had placed the number at around 100. Smoke and fumes from the
blaze are conflicting with efforts to reach those still missing in the mine, and hope that any more
survivors will be found and rescued is decreasing.

Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 has the boat been found?


A sunken shipwreck was found off Haiti this week, and may be the long-lost remains of the
Santa Maria, Chistopher Columbus flagship from his initial voyage to the Americas. Barry
Clifford, an underwater explorer who led a team that found and investigated the wreck says he is
confident about the discovery. He said every single piece fits and now him and his team has to
go through the whole archaeological process, which they plan to do within the next few
months. It is the ship that changed the course of human history, Clifford said. In fact, if this
claim is confirmed it will be remembered in history as one of the most significant underwater
archaeological discoveries ever.

Phil Jackson, the President of the New York Knocks, told point guard Raymond Felton that he
will be traded during the offseason, according to a source. Jacksons first priority, however, is to
hire a coach after Steve Kerr shocked the team, as well as the basketball world on Wednesday by
taking the Golden State Warriors job. Felton is going to make over $4 million over the next year,
and has a player option for almost $5 million the year after that. To many, the Felton news is
not ground shaking considering his on and off- court performance.

Name: Morrisa Stevens_________ Date: 5/16/2014

















What I did to change my sources this time, was similar to the previous two newscasts I
have completed. However, this time I tried to be a little more witty and humorous with my
leads. The story I had to change up the most was the story about the baseball trades. This story
had less hard facts than the others in this newscast so I had to weed out an opinionated lingo.
Also the Justin Bieber story and Columbus story had a lot of unnecessary info I felt did not need
to be included. This newscast, I stuck to what was most important. There are a lot of stories
concerning tragedy, and I stuck to the most recent info. In the story about the Missouri
abortion law, and the bouncy house, there were PLENTY of quotes. In fact, they mainly
consisted of quotes that I had to paraphrase while still attributing the source.
