In the article, it talks about how the older staffers who worked in the crime lab are going to be let go due to troubles and mistakes made. Out of 6 total, four will be let go while two of them will be kept to go through training once more. Many department officials have lost trust and faith in the ADP. ADP plans to go forward though, making further improvements and changes to their department. They have been shut don do to incorrect ways or practices they were using with the DNA evidence. Travis county will be having a lose towards this, the community needs and wants answers to questions that DNA evidence gives to some cases in the area. The fact that the ADP has been slacking and been improperly using the DNA and unacceptable. Due to this fact, the police department should take over because they maybe can run it better than the current leaders of the department. The police and the crime labs work hand and hand, it would only make sense if the police officials made the choice.

Some people believe this assertive take on the sensitive subject was the right way to go, because it will urge stronger ties and travel between the US and Cuba. However, other thought it will more than a single tweet to bring change about the relations between these two powers. Whatever your opinion on the controversy, the fact that we need to take a new approach on how relations with Cuba are handled is paramount.

Cutting off ties with Cuba would be a dumb decision, since we are already trying to move forward with them. We should not go backwards, we need to keep moving forwards with making stronger bonds with Cuba.

I would like to visit Cuba but I would only stay for a very short amount of time. I would only go if it was safe and secure for an American to visit legally. 

New relations under the Obama administratoin have helped commerce travel, commerce, and the flow of information to Cuba.

The story uses quotes to further explain the story. This feature story is written in first person which is what we have been told not to do. I think the writer did that because they wanted it to be from personal experience.
