St. Louis vs. Columbus

From the article about St. Louis vs. Colombus on October 25. Nash scored in his fifth straight game, this one an almost indescribable goal on a shot between his legs, and the Blue Jackets beat the St. Louis Blues 3-0 on Thursday night. Jared Boll had a goal, Jiri Novotny was awarded one, and Pascal Leclaire racked up another shutout on 36 saves as the Blue Jackets extended the best start in the franchise's seven years. Ahead 1-0 and on the power play late in the second period, the Blue Jackets worked the puck around the perimeter and had several good scoring chances. Ron Hainsey then tried a slap shot from the blue line that was just wide to the right of the goal. Nash played the ricochet off the boards like Manny Ramirez fielding a ball off the Green Monster, stretching to reach the puck to pull it in and then lifting the shot between his legs and high into the top of the net. I love hockey and my favorite team is the Washington Capitals. I don't think people should care about this article unless they like hockey. But even if you do not like hockey, you can still appreciate good game play.

Higher Education

From the U.S. department of education. U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings today announced the award of $30 million to 22 institutions of higher education that were directly impacted by Hurricanes Katrina or Rita. Many of the schools will use their awards to construct or renovate damaged buildings and classrooms, some of which have been housed in temporary trailers. Others will use the funds to offset income lost as a result of enrollment declines, to fund grants for students that would have been covered by lost revenue, or to fund faculty and staff needed to teach and advise students. I think people should care about this because schools are being held in trailers and people who are getting scholarships cannot get them because the money is being used to rebuild the schools. Many people kinda forgot about Katrina and what happened to the schools. Well here it is people the classes are being held in trailers and kids aren't going to school. If you got a scholarship, and a hurricane happened, that scholarship would go away and pay for the damages that it caused.

Rockies Scalper

News Blog:

The article from the Denver Post is about a man who had purchased 60 tickets, totaling $3,090, for the upcoming series against the Arizona Diamondbacks through a Coors Field ticket window before they sold out so he could sell them for $14,000 profit. The man sold two $100 seats to two undercover officers Wednesday for $300 a piece. I don't think this is fair because you see people always trying to sell a Rockie's ticket for $20 over price and the police never stop them. i think he only got arrested because the Rockies are in the playoffs. Like i said people never get arrested for this because it isn't worth their time. People should care about this because it isn't fair to this guy at all.

Google Facts

Edcuation Blog:

The article by Mr. Warlick is about google facts being close to completly false. This is a crucial problem for us in education because Google is telling kids that look up this information, that whatever they write is true. I think the inernet is a wonderful resource and it should be used when nessary but some things you do not need the internet. You could use text books or something else. I dont want to get the wrong information becuase thats not what happened and i don't want to learn flase information. Mr. Warlick talks about how his son found 9/11 information but this information told him that someone had BOMBED the bulding not flew into it. This is very important becuase he would of thought that his whole life because of what Google told him.
