Organization
The phone book is very organized. It's arranged in alphabetical order of the last names. It also has tabs on the side so you can reach a specific letter easier. Then in the back the phone book usually has the yellow pages which also arranges different companies in alphabetical order. On top of all the pages it tells you what names you are in between. For example, if you were looking for someone with the last name of Nelson you could find it on this page between Murray and Newman.
This is an older version or organization, now people can just go online and type in the name of a person and probably find out way more than they wanted to.

Websites
http://www.mrbottles.com/
This website is to clean bottles and tells you about the different type of bottles that are unique. I think that this website sucks because there is way too much going on. When you first go on the page a man pops up and starts talking to you about your bottles and then other things pop up as well but it's too fast so you can't catch everything right away. The writing on this page is also hard to read because there is so much on one page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Wikipedia is a great website. As much as teachers don't want us to use this website it is so easy to find information. This site has information on everything you could possibly need to search for. It is easy to navigate and when you search something, say Clemson, it gives you a brief introduction of Clemson and then lists the contents of the page making it easier to find what you are looking for. It also directs you to other sites if you are interested in something you read about. In the history paragraph of Clemson it talks about Thomas Green Clemson and you can also click his name if you want to find out more about him. Now even though we aren't suppose to go on Wikipedia for a resource for a paper or project you can still go on the site to find quick information and also to find more reliable resources at the bottom of your search. This leads you to a list of resources from books, magazines, websites, and other great sources.

Cover Story
Well currently I'm working at The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards golf shop and the only magazine I could find is a golf magazine. Go figure!
GolfWorld chose Rory McIlroy for their cover on the June 27th issue. If you keep up with golf or even watch ESPN he is all over it, winning the U.S. Open Championship just a couple weeks ago. He has had quite a few victories and is now ranked 4th in the Official World Golf Rankings. All of this is the reason for the title "THE REAL DEAL" because right now he is probably the most talked about player in golf. The article compares his win to Tiger Woods saying, "The victory it most evoked was Tiger Woods' dismantling of Augusta National and his competition at the 1997 Masters. McIlroy produced the same quality of jaq-dropping shots, but in his own way, a similarly focused will." The article also goes on to talk about how McIlroy has been studying Woods' play and takes techniques of his to make his own. The cover of this magazine also uses the color of the GolfWorld and The Real Deal to connect with McIlroys' shot. The blue from the title of the magazine goes with his blue shirt and the white color of the cover story title goes with his pants. This creates a balance on the cover page. The subtitle of the cover story also starts to tell you that McIlroy is the next big deal because it states that the question, "Who is golf's next great player?" and says that because he won the U.S. Open he is indeed the real deal.

Child abuse. It's not talked about a lot. You don't see it all over the news, but it does happen. TV shows like Law and Order: SVU has quite a few episodes of cases they work on with child abuse. Why is it not talked about as much as it should be? Why are these children not stood up for? Child abuse is very common, and there are all different types; verbal, physical, and others. People should stand up for and look out for the children that can't speak for themselves.
