    1. "And Mr. Romney must make sure that the campaign’s effort to frame its tactical approach — an argument for mathematical inevitability — does not supplant the campaign’s overall political message to voters, that Mr. Romney is an economic fix-it man who can defeat President Obama."--this also is important for the first article

      "Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group, criticized the use of 10 years of revenue from such provisions to pay for a two-year transportation bill.

      'That’s kind of how Congress is approaching every problem,' cobbling together short-term fixes without addressing long-term problems, said Jeff Shoaf, head of Congressional relations for the Associated General Contractors of America, which nonetheless strongly supported the bill.

      This is important in the second article

    It is about college students, who were spied on their classmate ,being in embrace with a young man. These guys, use this info as a joke and something to laugh about, posted video and comments online. This jokes coast a life to their classmate, who committed suicide by jumping from the George Washington Bridge. Classmate's death became an international news story, fusing parental anxieties about the hidden worlds of teen-age computing, teen-age sex, and teen-age unkindness.

    More and more people live alone in America, get married in their 30th , but many of this marriages end up with divorces. Special researches by sociologist from New York had been found, that :"ingle living was not a social aberration but an inevitable outgrowth of mainstream liberal values'.
    There is a line between live alone, be proud of your freedom and most of the time be hungry for contacts,anxious, frisky, smug, occasionally scared—in short, they experience a mixture of emotions that many people, even those who do not live alone, are apt to recognize.

    Before today's match , Wigan had won 4 matches which ranking the top 5. Today at Emirates Stadium,the Arsenal 's home stadium. Unexpectedly , Wigan which ranked fourth from bottom won the third place's team Arsenal. Because Wigan have the wonderful opening of the match, they got two goals at just 8 minutes. I think if Wigan can keep this momentum to the end , they can stay at premier league.
