There is a sandwich quotation in my source “Why Edward Snowden Is a Hero.” In the introduction of the sandwich, the author John Cassidy describes about the targeting countries of NSA’s surveillance program. He presents that the spying programs are not only collecting data from countries like Iran and Pakistan, but also from many allied countries. Cassidy then transits from introducing the surprising fact to the source material when uses his source to back up this fact. He directly quotes words…

Pitchers at all levels – high school, college, and professionals – are running into the same problem: their elbows are giving out and they’re requiring Tommy John surgery. This is a result of years of strain on the ligament. I believe these players are victims of coaches who pushed them too far. Coaches at a little league or high school level should be focused upon teaching their players the fundamentals of the game. The best youth baseball teams are not the ones that hit the most home runs…

The Paradox of Security The notion and terminology of security permeates our daily existence. One encounters it on a daily basis, qualifying almost every aspect of politics, international relations, human society, and personal experience. Indeed, society has arrived at a state, both locally and globally, where security needs to be addressed both habitually and emphatically. However, this “age of security” has become tantamount to saying “age of anxiety,” as the need to feel secure demands…

For those who are familiar with the world of baseball, it is common knowledge that a pitcher should have a protective L-screen in front of them in order to prevent possible injury. The case of Shawn Bukowski vs. Clarkson University et al. showcases a situation where a pitcher was struck in the face by a line drive during a practice session; this can be attributed to the absence of an L-screen. Shawn Bukowski sued his university and head coach James Kane for damages related to his injury; the…
