Live Blogging Assignment

By Maggie Doherty

On Monday, November 23rd, our class assignment was to live blog from different locations around the Hofstra University campus. I went to several of the campus dining locations, including Hofstra Deli and Cafe on the Quad. I was able to speak with several workers, students and one manager of Cafe on the Quad. One of the workers at Hofstra Deli, Ana, explained that student theft has reduced within the past semester due to the addition of printed receipts. The video I took of her was too long to be sent via cell phone, so it had to be cut. The manager of Cafe on the Quad was able to share information about running the business, the distribution of Starbucks Coffee and how the business has been attracting student consumers for twenty years. The hours of operation of the dining locations are conveniently posted on the doors of each entrance.  All reporting was done via my cell phone: an ATT&T LG CF360.

Starbucks coffee is the signature selection offered to student consumers at Cafe on the Quad. The addition of Edy’s frozen yogurt in the 2009 fall semester is a popular attraction among students.

Obama: Professed 9/11 mastermind will be convicted | Top AP Stories | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle -

“Failure is not an option.” -Attorney General Eric Holder

Wouldn’t it be disastrous if these cases were lost? Even so, it’s remarkable how the United States gives even its most vicious, evil captors a fair trial. Never forget 9/11.
