1). The Pope meeting with the Kentucky clerk is in the paper because it's a recent event - and her story has been all over the news for quite some time. It's also an emotional topic for many people, and it's relevant to their interests and concerns.
2). The Texas population support of same-sex marriage has increased 29%, and support of marijuana legalization has increased 13%.
3). Nearly 2/3 of respondents said they supported the state Legislature approving $800 million for border security. 65% said they supported the federal action to stop the deportation of immigrants in the country illegally who are attending college or in the military. 17% of Texans say they have been discriminated against by police.
4). They surveyed most of the state's adult population, rather than just registered/likely voters.
5). Spieth won several different tournaments all in one year, and all at the age of 22.
6). A wearable is a piece of technology that you wear on your body. We're seeing more and more of them these days because they're convenient (such as fitbits and bluetooth ear pieces). Google Glass was the wearable that appealed to me the most, if only because they remind me of spy movies. I think we, most definitely, will see more of these things in the future, because technology is growing, and if this is the new thing, then it's going to be around forever. I, personally, don't think that these would go far - it may be just me, but it would make me feel uncomfortable. A lot of people, though, will think it's cool, and take it as far as they're willing to work for.
