Whatever It Takes: Rosa Now Catching For Chiefs
The life of a minor league baseball player is a road full of ups and downs and unexpected turns. The Peoria Chief’s Jovan Rosa short professional career has been filled with movement whether it being promoted and demoted within the organization or changing fielding positions. His latest adventure takes him behind the plate as a catcher.
This time line shows Rosa’s movement within the Chicago Cubs organization. If I was proficient with Flash, I would link each move to pictures and statistics of his time with each team season by season.

Bradley students survive zombie outbreak on campus – Erik Johnson
Students were pitted against each other in a desperate battle for survival during the school’s second annual game of Humans vs. Zombies, a student-run phenomenon that’s taking the nation by storm. Unfortunately, the game was called short after a zombie was arrested on charges that, surprisingly, didn’t relate to cannibalism.
For a timeline of the outbreak, click here!
The above timeline would be made more interactive by showing multiple pictures of the events being described that would enlarge when clicked on, but I don’t have the first idea how to actually make it do that. I also couldn’t get it to actually show a smaller image of the timeline, but that would be there.
Erik Johnson talked to students about the game and their favorite moments.

Alcohol Action Plan – Brian Hyken
The Bradley Alcohol Action plan was created in 2008 and has been unpopular among students since then. After some careful studies it has shown that underage drinking tickets have not increased drastically since the plan was created.
Above is a graph showing the underage drinking tickets issued over the last eight semesters. The information was gathered by the Bradley Police department and includes underage drinking tickets issued by Bradley Police or the State Police (Task Force). If I had the ability to make this graph interactive, I would make it so the viewer could click on each year and a breakdown of the tickets would pop up. I would break the drinking tickets down by year in school (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior). I could also break the information down to whether the tickets were issued by Bradley Police or the State Task force.
Interviewed in the video are Dan Eckert, ’10, Kevin McLelland, ’11, and Peter Stephan, ’10. I asked them to talk about their feelings on the alcohol action plan and whether or not they feel it is fair to all students. Eckert has been a member of HEAT for four years and was an ARA and RA in the dorms.

Bradley Greeks brings university together through philanthropies
The Bradley Greek population has always been synonymous with a negative image, but what others don’t see is what the Greeks give back to the campus and the community. Through philanthropies, the fraternities and sororities are able to host events where the whole campus can participate and the proceeds go to an organization to help others in dire assistance.
