Curious

Rochester, NY

Judged:

Why is the headline for this article "Black male" sets fire. Was it necessary to use the word Black Male as a descriptor? Why not "Man" or "Rochesterian", or even use the man's name - personally I would not have choosen that option but after all his name was referenced in the body of the article.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Virgo

Keep a pinch of salt handy today because not everything you hear will be the gospel truth. Someone might have manipulated the facts to make them sound more acceptable, or they may have got carried away and forgotten to tell you something rather vital. Try to keep misunderstandings to a minimum by being as straightforward and honest as possible, and by not simply assuming that people know what you're talking about and therefore not bothering to explain properly.
