In Sac Bee, Gloria Silott spends most days in her wheelchair and socialize with other elderly members in her home. For the last couple of years she has bin facing Alzheimer’s causing her to unable to fully speak with the only words being yes or no. A new treatment in her home that picks favorite songs of there choosing to help see if patients can retain memory. From picking songs from her youth she began to show memory gain and old memory from her late teens. The play lists now began going from 60's to 70's and now 80's showing that she is regaining past events. This treatment is now being used more and more showing high results and positive agreement from the patients.
I find it very interesting how playing songs from her youth are causing her to remember past events. I would be interested to learn why scientists believe that this may possibly work for some patients suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. I think that if this treatment proves to be successful in many patients that it could help to treat patients today and possibly lead us to why Alzheimer's Disease occurs.

The law reduces the punishment for shop lifting, so it is occurring more often. People assume since the punishment is less, it's not as bad. This law is being speculated and could maybe lead to disruption of social order. This of course is an exaggeration and worst case scenario.

Because of the drought in California, scientists are working on a new plan to desalinate ocean water to make it safe to drink. Although it is very expensive, the people of California need drinkable water, and they need it now. One concern is that it can harm sea life. Another possible problem is that the water that is returned to the ocean is even saltier than how it came in. They came up with a possible solution to that problem though, they are going to mix the very salty water with unsalted and undrinkable water.
I had the same article and you summarized the information very well. I liked how you pointed out the solution to having too much salt put back into the ocean.

Finally, people that want the law passed are hurrying to get all their signatures in by November 8, 2016.

I also wrote about this topic, and I think that you covered the information really well. I like how you wrote about how much money it would cost, I didn't see that when I read the article.
California's drought has caused many farmers to either spend extra money or to go out of business.
