Just What I Needed

So, I'm on the internet, just a lookin for articles and cites that will help me with the history of health care in this city. I was having no luck when i remembered Wendy told us that we had resources right under our noses. I logged into the class blogsite and navigated just below the class blogs and what should i find but some tasty tidbits of intellectual goodness.
I was saddened by the infant death epidemic article. And the Memphis's Medical Graceland article didn't make me feel much better. I will examine these more closely over the weekend so that i may write and submit my contribution to the Big Paper, part 2. I hope you enjoy my book review.
I have just one question...What is the cutoff year for what you consider "historical?" It is tough finding anymore Memphis-specific historical info online. I suppose that I could look up old old Commercial Appeal articles if they are archived anywhere on campus. Just out of curiosity, if i needed an extension on the second part of the paper, would you grant me one? I have every intention of getting the paper turned in on time and I have never asked for a deadline extension before, ever. But should some unforeseen circumstances crop up, would you consider giving me an extension ? Anyway, 2 more blogs to go for this week.

I'm so glad you found the sites! I was definitely thinking that no one had been seeing them!

As far as "history" goes, what really matters is the historical CAUSES, which may continue. If that's the case, they are still fine to include. No real cutoff period, because that would almost be too difficult to determine, I'd think.

Good job. Keep up the very good work that you're doing.
