<p>For my analysis, I chose an article by an <a href="http://annarbor.com/news/high-radon-levels-persisted-in-basement-where-ann-arbor-police-officers-worked-records-show/">Ann Arbor news</a> organization that reports on increased Radon levels in their city hall's basement. </p>

<p>The article discusses how Radon levels that are 'far above amounts posing cancer risks' have been plaguing the basement of Ann Arbor's city hall for many years. The reporter had to use computer-assisted reporting to look up city records and find out how long ago this problem dates back to.</p>

<p>The reporter was forced to not only look up city hall records, but investigative records on multiple other organizations that had alerted city officials of the problem years ago. Records dating back to the early 90s showed absurdly high readings of Radon, but were ignored. </p>

<p>The reporter also utilized records to find his interviewees, who were people that filed multiple complaints and even moved their offices from the city hall's basement.  </p>]]>

<p>France claimed there were hundreds of activists on the train planning a demonstration in France, the <a href="http://www.startribune.com/world/119999554.html">Star Tribune </a>reported. Italy is said to have angered France by giving out temporary resident permits to thousands of Tunisian migrants, which allows them to travel freely in many European countries.</p>

<p>There is said to have been a demonstration planned in which some 300 protestors were going to ride a train in support of Tunisian immigrants, according to BBC's Hugh Schofield. <br />

<p>Police in Northern Ireland defused a bomb containing 500 pounds of homemade explosives on Saturday, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/04/09/northern.ireland.bomb/index.html?hpt=T2">CNN</a> reported.</p>

<p>The bomb is said to have been built by dissident Republicans who were trying to cause 'huge devastation' in a nearby town, <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/04/10/3187061.htm">ABC</a> reported. It was found under a bridge south of Newry after authorities were alerted by two warning calls on Friday. </p>

<p>It was around the same size as one that 'dissident Republicans' used to kill 29 people in Omagh in 1998. <br />
