Flight of the penguins: Rescuers return wayward birds home

In Brazil, 373 young Magellanic penguins were rescued, rehabilitated and released last weekend after their search for food left them stranded, hundreds of miles from their usual feeding grounds. The audience is whoever wants to read this article. This article interests me because i love penguins and learning new things about them. No, i didn't know anything about this..i came across it when i was looking for news articles. 3 things i learned reading this article is..
1. Magellanic penguins are warm-weather birds that breed in large colonies in southern Argentina and Chile.
2. The young animals then migrate north between March and September, following their favorite fish, the anchovy
3. The birds are named after Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who first saw them in 1519.
my question is, what happens if they stray further north?

Procrastinate Now! Reasons Why Procrastination is Good for You

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/269760/procrastinate_now_reasons_why_procrastination.html?cat=7

My article this week is about procrastinating and why it's good sometimes. The article's audience is for people that over book their days with alot of work causing them to multi-task. The article interests me because i procrastinate all the time, and my teachers and parents both tell me it's not healthy to. All i knew was that ive always heard my parents say not to put things off till the last minuet. Three things i've learned from this article is..

1.) when you find yourself vegging out in front of a stupid movie when you ought to be working on a last minute report is a good indication that you might need to stop cramming so much into your day
2.)By procrastinating, we end up giving ourselves some breathing room and recovery time, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
3.) And a fear of failure can cause the paralyzation that so often leads to procrastinating.

annnnnd my question is.. doesn't putting things off till last min. stress people out more? because your worried that you might not finish it.. wouldn't that make procrastinating bad?

Schools Split on 'Open Campus'

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DE5DC163DF930A15753C1A96E948260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=2

This article is about schools allowing students to go off campus or have a free period during lunch instead of eating in school. The audience is students, teachers and parents; because they want their input. The article interests me because that would be really awesome if our school would let us do that, but with our school someone would mess it up by not coming back or staying too late. I didn't really learn anything new, i just found out that schools really did let people go off campus.. i thought it was just in movies. and my question is..?? what about the cooks that use to cook for students? do they lose their jobs?
