Give Some Respect To Bonds http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3090631&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines
There was an E.S.P.N. article regarding how Barry Bonds might boycott the hall of fame. As many people think to themselves why would any one who has a shot at being a hall of famer turn down the offer. Well this is what the article was a about. It was about bonds not going to go to the hall. The ball that Bonds hit to break Hank Aarons home run record was sold to a clothes designer some one who probably such little knowledge about baseball. The clothes designer put a poll on his web page (you know so many baseball fans love to just explore fashion designer webpage.) of what he should do with the ball. The vote came out and the ball was to be placed with an asterisk. Bonds who claims not to have taken steroids disagrees with what they did with the ball. He says "I don't think you can put an asterisk in the game of baseball, and I don't think that the Hall of Fame can accept an asterisk," Bonds said. "You cannot give people the freedom, the right to alter history. You can't do it. There's no such thing as an asterisk in baseball." I could not agree any more with what Bonds is saying. No matter how badly I want to believe Bonds did not take steroids I think he did. Even despite the fact no one has a right to do that to that to Bonds. They have been working on that case if he used steroids for a while now and they have no actual proof so either does that stupid close designer. It is so wrong to take a huge memento from Bonds and pretty much ruining it and make the ball so useless to him. Every thing that Bonds worked for is gone because of some selfish people. It could not be any more wrong of that person to do that to what was such a huge milestone for Bonds. I’m not saying steroids are ok but they did not help when he had so much pressure going up to bat every one watching him knowing every one was counting on him to either break the record or come that much closer to breaking the record. Steroids also did not help him to time the pitch or a hit a curveball or catch up to a fastball. So one day when something that clothes designer worked so hard for gets ruined or lost or something he looks back and makes an apology to Bonds.

Joe Torre
A New Start http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3088105&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines
For my P.L.N this week I decided to read a bit about the x-Yankees manger Joe Torre. The article was about the hype of Mr. Torre becoming the Dodger manger and how he left turned down the Yankees new contract. I am really glad he did that. Torre is a great manger and his statistics are unbelievable and just because he did not make it to the World Series they were going to get ride of him. Then they had a long discussion and finally decided to keep him. Clearly they did not want him (why I do not know). Since torre has enough pride he decided to turn down the contract (A wise decision). The Dodgers new they needed a new manger and saw Torre was now free they decided to pick him up. He will be a great manger for the Dodgers. This is because they are a good team but they are just struggling. Now that they have Torre they are in a good position to go far in the upcoming years.

blog
Mrs Comps blog. http://21ccomp.blogspot.com/2007/10/plns-again.html
For my education blog this week I read Mrs. Comps blog. She was saying how in our week 5 we were improving and she is looking forward and all that. But personally I have not improved. Each week I have actually got the exact same grade. I know exactly what I am doing wrong but I am not quite sure what to do to fix it. This is a lot like the beginning of my hockey year. Our hockey coach understands hockey more than almost anyone. So he taught us a very complex offense I knew what to do but I was struggling in the drills because I was not putting every thing together to exceed. As the season has gone on I have been doing a lot better as I hope to with my plns.

Rockies
Rockies fans
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2007/columns/story?columnist=bryant_howard&id=3078230&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines
In this article about the Rockies dramatic 13 to 1 loss in game 1 of the World Series against Boston is stupid. It’s just like every other article how the Rockies should be counted out and how its so embarrassing. They have gone 7 and 0 in the postseason and have won 21 out of there last 22 games. (Pretty embarrassing right) I am not making excuses for the Rockies or anything but after an 8 day lay off ( that’s a huge break in the M.L.B) then coming back to face the by far number1 pitcher in baseball is pretty hard. Now although the band wagon riders seem to be getting off. Now although the Rockies new fans are turning against them. That is really bad because this is when the Rockies need the most support. Sure its nice winning with a lot of fans but its better to be not doing so hot and get a bunch of fans taking your back. Saying yeah you are not so hot right but we will be right here until you can find your rhythm. so all you so called Rockies fans or even claming your self a baseball fan maybe you watch and understand baseball because everyone has to have a couple bad games here and there. So all you Colorado people do not give up on the Rockies yet.

"A Fundamental disconnect" http://www.google.com/reader/view/#stream/user%2F17075130236331633306%2Flabel%2Feducational
I was taking a gander at fundamental disconnect and it talking about how high schools are not similar enough for high schools in high school you have a lot of classes and there is so many things your learning that teachers may have to do a little every now and then that the student may night learn as much as needed instead its just the basic concepts. The units are not as precise as it may need to be. My sister’s boyfriend was telling me how when he was going to class he had only 4 classes but they where really long. He felt that it helped him through his high school career. On the hand I do not think that is better. I learn better when my schedule is diverse and I stop just going through the motions. So this will help me be effective in high school and then make college easier.

"Mall bus crash" Denver post http://www.denverpost.com/ci_7084478
On the bus just trying to get home when all the sudden boom, you get hit by a car. Well this is what happened to many people on earlier today, including 24 third graders. Luckily only 8 of them were hurt and there injuries were not close to life threatening. This is scary to me because I start driving and no one ever knows how a wreck will end although this one was not life threatening, no one ever knows when one might be life threatening. Also car wreck can happen to anybody anytime. Such as this one happened to a bus on a slow street in downtown Denver filled with little kids. This way I am nervous to be driving with so many people that do not pay attention to the road.

"What Matters" fisch bowl
In the fisch bowl I was reading 'What Matters". The reason this one intriqued me was because alot of my teachers seem to be focusing on this question. I feel when Mr. Fisch said at first when the question what matters is asked to his 9th graders last year they struggled with it at 1st then it became easier for them. I know when I was asked this question it was like WOW how am I suppost to awnser this. Its a very geniric question that really made me thinking and pondering this. But I hope as the year goes along I will be able to awnser these hard geniric questions alot better.
