Allie Kruger thought that the game was going to go okay, “I’m really nervous, and I don’t know why.”

   Everything was pretty slow while the players were warming up. Roosevelt and Hoover were both doing the same warm ups. They both looked about the same in coordination. The players all seemed pretty pumped.

Destine Pailmore started the game for Roosevelt and for Hoover Nyachristmas started. Hoover took the ball for the ball drop.

Roosevelt took control of the ball at 5:50 in the 1^st period. The score was 2-4 Hoover. #14 on Hoover took the ball back down the court, and got a basket, which made the score, 4-5 Hoover was still wining.

It was the end of the first quarter it was 5-6 Hoover. It was pretty much an even game so far; the players can all keep up with each other.

5:18 left in the 2nd quarter 9-5 Hoover. “2 on white.” No baskets were made for the free throw.

#14 on Hoover snatches the ball and runs down the court passing everybody and shoots with 0 seconds left and she scores. 16-11 Hoover, end of 2^nd quarter.

In the 3^rd quarter we lost some players that had to go to the Varsity game. The pace of the game got much slower for Roosevelt and they started loosing even more (Because of lost players). 6:00 min left in 3^rd quarter 21-13 Hoover.

Roosevelt’s picking up the pace and the couch put out the “best” 3 players. Roosevelt- #23, #21, #25. Hoover- #14, #32, #24. There was a 3-point shot made by #14 for Hoover.

The ending score was 36-23 Hoover.

“Upset mostly with offence.” The coach said. She didn’t like the score on the scoreboard and thought the offence could have done better.

“No we did not play well, we barely made any of our free throws.” Nani said. Nani was upset because she said, “We missed a lot of opportunities to get caught up to them”.

Glass vs Lehrer

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/07/jonah-lehrer-book-proposal-plagiarism_n_3404133.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonah_Lehrer


 Many people plagiarism but another big one besides Steven Glass was Jonah Lehrer. Lehrer was a was a well-known science journalist. He wrote for New York Times, The New Yorker and Wired Magazine. Lehrer would sell his work twice. Also during interviews Lehrer would use quotes mostly from Bob Dylan with out quoting Bob Dylan himself.      

 The difference between Glass's plagiarism and Lehrer's is that Glass took his stories too far. Glass lied and took his lie in to a greater level. Lehrer still didn't do the right thing, but he didn't take it out of proportion. 

  Although both Glass and Lehrer both didnt do the right thing there stories are smiwlar and also very different. They both worked for major news comapnys, and both plagiarised. I bealive Glass's situation was a bigger deal. Glass made up most of his stories. They even made amovie out of Glass's story. They both had punishments and both have plagirisum on thier records. 

The Imposable Review

http://wegotthiscovered.com/blu-ray/impossible-bluray-review/

    The review written by Margot Harrison was a good review she talked about how the tsunami effected the family. She never directly said if she liked or disliked the movie. She talked about how the movie had phenomenal scene's and great action.     I agree with Harrison, the movie The Imposable was suspenseful and had some really heartwarming scnce's. The movie had me teary at some points and at the end of the movie I felt different as well as Harrison. We bother really enjoyed the movie and both made us feel warm indies at the end of the movie. 

http://www.patriotledger.com/entertainment/movies/x2105865064/MOVIE-REVIEW-The-Impossible-a-shallow-story-about-a-natural-disaster

  The review By Al Alexander was about how he didn't like the movie. He thought that it was took a rich white family and showed their story and not the other people who went though a lot worse. Others lost their homes and family's for good. 

   I somewhat agree with Alexander, he was right about how others had it worse but he doesn't know is that the movie was trying to relate to the viewers. Most likely people with more money will go see a movie in theaters so I think the directer wanted to relate to the people watching the movie. 

       Other than that I don't agree with him, he was saying that the other people may have had better, more important stories that we should have seen. But they showed the people who lived on the coast and kind of showed what they went though. The movie was focusing on the family but also showed how the tsunami effected the other people. 

I feel that Critics judge to much, I know that's what their supposed to do but they think about the bad to much and don't try to sit back and enjoy the movie. People want to go and relax when they watch a movie. You won't enjoy the movie as much if all you're doing is hating on it.

Greatest Moment

    High school has overall been the greatest thing this year. Theres a lot less drama,better teachers, and  more opportunities.

   My friends have to be the best thing that's happened. Without them I would still be sitting alone at the lunch table and doing absolutely nothing after school.
 
   I was the "new girl"nobody even knew who I was, until I met my friends. I slowly become friends with them then they introduced me to more people and before I knew it I had a huge group friends.

   Living here changed my view on life. People here are different, but where I lived was the bubble, all nice big houses, rich families, nothing to worry about.

  Moving here was the best thing that happened to me. I feel like My future will be totally different because of this move.

  I get to see that theres problems with people and families and that's okay and you cant always get what you want. Living here has defiantly been he best thing for me this year.

  Moving here I got to start fresh, starting fresh was great nobody knew what to thing of you. I got to be the person I wanted to be.

   I know I said this but moving absolutely changes my view on life I got to meet people of different races and harsh life stories. I love meeting people that aren't trying to be perfect.

  Moving has been the best thing for me as a person, I can be who I want to be and I'm finally happy. Being happy is hard and not easy for everybody to do, but I'm happy that I'm finally Happy with my self and where I am today.

60 Minutes_MichealJackson

 http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50147160n

      The straights of the interviewer was how she spoke to the people she was interviewing to. She asked questions seriously and sounded like she cared a lot about what they had to say.

     The interviewers facial expression were good, she was smiling, laughing, and looked like she was happy to be their with them. She was dolled up looking fresh. She looked at the talker in the eye the whole time.
   
     The weakness of the interviewer was that she spoke interrupted the speaker,she seemed like she thought she was very important than the other people, and she wanted to touch Michael Jackson's glove when she knew she couldn't but she asked anyway making the person feel uncomfortable.
 
    Overall she was a great interviewer, but as I watched I got annoyed with her because she looked like she thought she was better than others and she thought she was so cool to touch Michael's belongings.


 http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50135740n

    The strengths of the interviewer was how she spoke with a clear voice. She smiled when she spoke and put expressions on her face when the other person was talking.

    The interviewer had a soft sweet voice, she acted like the person she was talking to was the most important person in the room. She was well dressed and asked good questions which led to conversation.

   The weakness of  the interviewer was at times there was some awkward tension between the two. She would ask a question and he wouldn't know how to answer it. Sometimes the questions she asked led to quick shot answers.

  Overall I really thought the interviewer did a good job. She had a persuading voice. He voice made it a lot better, it was a soft warm voice. Her smile was pretty and she looked the person in the eye the whole time.
