        <![CDATA[<p>Prime Minister George Papandreou will be resigning from his position Monday after he and other political leaders came to the agreement to form a new unity government Sunday.</p>

<p>Elections for the new prime minister are planned for Feb. 19 next year, <a href="www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/07/greece-idUSL6E7M60IX20111107">Reuters</a> said.</p>

<p>Under the new unity government, according to <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/07/world/europe/pressure-mounts-on-greek-premier-to-resign.html">NY Times</a>, the major parties would share the power and is "widely expected to be led by a non-politician."</p>

<p>European officials pressured Greece to agree on a plan in order to "prevent the Greek crisis from spilling over to larger economies such as Spain and Italy," that are at risk of defaulting, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-greece-talks-20111107,0,6522649.story">LA Times</a> said.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>The widow of the man that released 56 exotic animals from their cages and then killed himself was denied retrieving the remaining six live animals Thursday due to a quarantine order from the Ohio Department of Agriculture.</p>

<p>The animals are held indefinitely at the Columbus Zoo under the order issued by Agriculture director James Zehringer.</p>

<p>Zehringer was led to believe that the animals should be examined for potentially dangerous diseases such as the herpes B virus, the <a href="http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2011/10/27/Wife-of-Terry-Thompson-wants-exotic-animals-back.html">Columbus Dispatch</a> said.</p>

<p>There was also concern for the unsanitary living conditions of their homes before their release that could have exposed these diseases to the animals, <a href="http://www.startribune.com/nation/132691273.html">Star Tribune</a> said.</p>

<p>"These animals are the innocents in this situation, and our job is to really take care of them as much as we can and make sure their welfare is looked out for," Zoo president Dale Schmidt said to Star Tribune.</p>]]>

<p>Schools in other states like California have implemented a new law that includes teaching about GLBT Americans in social studies whereas in Tennessee, a law dubbed "don't say gay" bill is being considered for teachers to not discuss homosexuality with middle school and elementary students, Lacrosse Tribune also said.</p>]]>

<p>"We are on the verge of breaking out on a global scale, not just here in the U.S.," Mark Allen, the president of the organization, said to <a href="http://www.startribune.com/business/132590243.html">Star Tribune</a>.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>After two decades of research, a malaria vaccine was put to the test African babies and children.</p>

<p>Malaria claims around 780,000 lives each year, most of them children, even with insecticides and bed nets which had decreased the number of deaths by the disease by 200,000, the <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2016515229_malaria16m.html">Seattle Times</a> said.</p>

<p>The early results of the vaccine show it is 50 percent effective but proved to be an improvement, <a href="http://www.newsday.com/news/health/first-malaria-vaccine-seen-promising-1.3255070">Newsday</a> said. </p>

<p>"The addition of a malaria vaccine to existing control interventions such as net beds and insecticide spraying could potentially help prevent millions of cases of this dellibating disease," chief executive of the British drug company GlaxoSmithKline Andrew Witty said to the <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/world/malaria-vaccine-may-save-millions-of-lives-20111019-1m82b.html">Sydney Morning Herald</a>.</p>

<p>GlaxoSmithKline developed the malaria vaccine and tested it on 15,000 children in Africa, Seattle Times also said.<br />

        <![CDATA[<p>Look at a news obituary- not a paid death notice, but an obituary written by a reporter about the death of someone notable in the community. What sources are used? Does it have a standard obituary lead or an alternative? Does that lead work? How does the obit differ from a resume?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/us/andy-rooney-mainstay-on-60-minutes-dead-at-92.html?_r=1">NY Times</a></p>

<p>Al Rooney of "60 Minutes"</p>

<p>Sources: CBS News, Time Magazine, New York Times columnist Anna Quindlen, The Advocate newspaper, Walter Cronkite (a colleague) and Mr. Rooney himself.</p>

<p>Lead: The reporter used a standard obituary lead and could have strayed from the standard lead considering the prominence of the person.</p>

<p>An obituary differs from a resume because of the narrative aspect of the person being profiled. In a resume, one just writes objectively and in an obit, the writing is more in-depth and with color of personal stories.</p>]]>

<p><a href="http://www.twincities.com/ci_18999194?nclick_check=1">TwinCities.com</a> covered a public hearing in Ramsey County about the new Vikings stadium proposal.
