Open Question: Is this narrative interveiw essay i wrote okay? please reveiw? easy ten points?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:26:28 GMT

So for Journalism,I had to interview a freshmen for our newspaper we were all supposed to write a quick essay about some random freshman. Here's mine. do you think I captured the essence of a personality pretty well? i don't want to put the kid's real name,so I substituted for John Smith. I really need a good grade on this essay. "Some people might call it “dedication”; for others “stick-to-it-ness” or even loyalty or drive. For one person though, it all seems to blend together; it’s just his way of life. Enter John Smith, a fourteen year old Ohio native with big ambitions to match his quick wit and slightly perverse nature. You can catch him on any given weekend practicing—something. Whether it be football, wrestling, or motocross, you’ll be hard pressed to find a day when this teen is simply withering away, bored to tears (Unless he’s in history class, of course.) John’s been in football since he was about nine, and motocross, even longer---since he was 7.”The best part about motocross, for me is the fact that it’s just so much fun that makes it worth it” The green eyed blonde said loudly in the dimly lit Journalism room from which we had this chat. He’d dedicated to the sport alright…he’s got the trophies, medals and awards to prove it. But that’s not all John’s second favorite sport, football which he’s been doing almost as long as motocross, is his next love. He hopes to make the varsity team his sophomore year, and he’s already on the freshman football team, making a promising start as running back. He’s also on the wrestling team, and in spring he’s doing weightlifting to better prepare for the football team. But all practice and no chill makes John a dull boy. On his “off” days, the rare days where he isn’t practicing football, motocross or even wrestling, are when his laid-back personality truly shines through. You’ll catch him hanging out in his basement (complete with a supposed stripper pole), watching South Park, hanging out with friends, or maybe even doing a combination of the three. Maybe even cracking a perverted joke or two, or even making a virus to put on your beloved XBOX©. He’s has two sisters who he gallantly describes as “crazy”, and his favorite food just happens to be steak. Although he plans on continuing his hobbies for as long as he can and possibly even the rest of his life. John’s got big plans after High school. Just don’t be surprised when you see a guy by the name of Sergeant Major John Smith, doing flips across his motocross bike.

Open Question: How much is an autograph signed by David Beckham in 1993 worth?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:49:41 GMT

This autograph is probably one of the first ones ever given out to fans by David Beckham. I was still a kid myself when I asked for this autograph. Beckham was in Malta, together with Sir Alex Ferguson (at the time not Knighted yet), Steve Bruce and Paul Parker. My father said that although no one knew who he was, he would probably turn out to be one of the greatest players England has ever seen...so he encouraged me to ask him for an autograph. Manchester United had won the League (Rumbelows) Cup and the Super Cup that year and they had gotten the trophies to Malta for supporters to view. I had gone to the press conference since my father is a sports journalist. Although David Beckham had debuted in this season (1992/93), he was not put on the pitch, not even once, the following season (1993/94). The season after that (1994/95), he was loaned to Preston North End and only returned to start building the story of a living legend and one of the most loved celebrities in the world, half way or so through that season, throughout which he appeared for Manchester United 10 times and scored once. The condition of the page is perfect. I have never seen any like it and is completely different from the typical autographs we see. I have three of those myself acquired from the other 3 times Beckham was in Malta (with Manchester United twice and with the national team). This is written in a 'school boy' hand writing and I'm sure that a handwriting expert would probably be required to check its authenticity!

Open Question: Since when did this "everybody wins" bs exist in kids sports?

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:14:32 GMT

I mean, trophies for last place? Seriously? I understand not wanting to hurt kids' feelings, but there's a HUGE lesson to be learned there. Failure is a fact of life, and it has to be experienced and dealt with or else a person will remain immature for their entire lives. In life, there are winners and there are losers. Trying to shield kids from this fact doesn't protect them, it deforms them. They'll apply to a college one day, and quickly realize that all this "everyone wins" crap was a load of bull when they start getting rejection letters. And how would they deal with it? They never learned how, because some "well-meaning" parents thought that kids should live in a fantasy world where there are no losers and everyone gets rewarded, no matter how much effort they put in. This trend has to die NOW or else our future is in deep trouble. Does anyone actually DEFEND this nonsense?

A customer was bothering the waiter in a restaurant. First, he asked that the air conditioning be turned up because he was too hot, then he asked it be turned down cause he was too cold, and so on for about half an hour. Surprisingly, the waiter was very patient, he walked back and forth and never once got angry. So finally, a second customer asked him why he didn't throw out the pest. "Oh, I really don't care or mind," said the waiter with a smile. "We don't even have an air conditioner." ------------------- A family of three tomatoes were walking downtown one day when the little baby tomato started lagging behind.

"Bad day at the course?" his wife asked. "Everything was going fine," he said. "Then Harry had a heart attack and died on the 10th tee." "Oh, that's awful!" "You're not kidding.

Voting Question: Could you proof read my paper for my COM 101 class?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:30:25 GMT

My Basketball Dream For as long as I can remember, I have always had an interest in basketball. As a little child I would watch every game on television. Time seemed to fly by, because I would get lost in the game. I always thought I would become a professional basketball player. As a little child I played basketball with friends in the neighborhood and by myself. By middle school I already had some skills and started to play on teams. It was not easy at first, and it took a lot of time and practice. All of my high school years were spent playing basketball. Basketball is a sport I get lost in and find very amusing. One of the several advantages of playing basketball was the exercise. I always felt refreshed and healthy after a practice or a game. It was strenuous exercise; however, I enjoyed playing so it was never dull. I seemed to be performing better in school as well. My life felt more organized, because I felt like I was achieving. I remember my very first game as a freshmen. We played against Clearview High School, and it was a close game. During the last four seconds of the fourth quarter our team made a three point shot and won. We were in amazement. I do not think there is any better feeling than victory. We celebrated with a big party that night. In comparison to the exercise, being on a basketball team gave me the opportunity to met new people. I remember traveling from school to school. My team was very loud and was always pumped up on the way there and back. I remember them always trying to get attention from random people driving by and there was always food all over the bus. The radio would be blasting, and everyone was all but flying out the windows. By the time we arrived at the school we were playing against I was exhausted. We did not always win, but we always had an incredible time. My high school basketball years are the years that really had an impact on me. Every year my skills and motivation improved as well as my love for basketball. At the end of the season we would all get a trophy and a shirt. We would always throw the best parties. We would usually play recreational basketball on a team. At the end of the fourth year, I won a certificate of achievement award. I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. I was disappointed when those years were over. I always thought I would continue playing; however, I entered college and my parents wanted my focus to be more on academics. Today, I play basketball for the enjoyment and exercise whenever I have the time. In conclusion, for the majority of my life I have had a passion for basketball. I spent a numerous amount of years practicing and practicing until I could no longer feel my legs. I spent hours and hours making shots until I did not miss. If one wants to master a task it takes practice. LeBron James did not become LeBron James overnight. Unfortunately, my life is taking a different course and I am strictly into studies. I believe basketball has, in a sense, helped me get to college. I applied to several different colleges and playing basketball all of those years definitely looked exceptional on my applications. My basketball dream did not continue on, and I miss those years. However, I gained a lot along the way and that cannot be taken away.

Resolved Question: tell me if this is good?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:31:58 GMT

I had to come up with a paper to read at my basketball teams kickoff game, since it will be our last season playing as the team we are, which we've been the saem team for almost 6 years. It was supposed to be about what makes you a basketball player, can you give me some critique please? Here it is... Basketball. What is a basketball player? Sure...you can say you're a basketball player because you play. And you are. But what makes a basketball player stand out from any old athlete? Anybody could go play a sport, say...soccer, tomorrow, and be a soccer player. Or pick up a bat and be a softball player. But what makes you who you are on the court? Is it the hours of sweat you dish out every day? Is it all the physcial therapy you've been enduring for that broken ankle a few seasons ago? Is it all the trophies you have lined up in your room? I don't think so. I think that what defines you as a basketball player is as follows: Basketball is part of your earliest memories. -You remember being in the gym when you were little for hours at a time. Or heading from one game to your practice, or from one brothers game to another. You remember the memorble quotes from people older than you that are engraved into your head. -You can remember being defeated every time you played one on one with someone older than you, only to be looked down on, and then told you'd be a better player next time. You've learned not to talk back to anyone and respect everyone. -You never know who's going to be on your team next year so you treat everyone with respect, regardless of your feelings towards them. You know that people older than you, espically older basketball players, are only going to look down on you to help you. So you take the advice with respect and pride, instead of as an insult. You give everything you have in any given situation. -You don't know what your obsticale is going to be in the future, but you also know that chances are its going to be worse than the one your facing now, so you just suck it up and deal with it. It'll make the next one that much easier. You think sweat is one of Gods greatest creations. -You know that until you sweat, water isnt coming any time soon. So you work as hard as you can on the blistering hot summer days with no air conditioning, because the more sweat, the more water! You know what pain is, and you know not to fear it. -You don't hold back because you're scared of how hurt you'll get. You'll dive on your knees to get a ball with no knee pads on, and then play the rest of the game as if you didnt have strawberries covering your knees. You go to physcial thearpy and endure the pain of the broken ankle regaining strength with pride, because you know that not everyone has the oppertunity to regain their muscles and play again. Being a basketball player, to me, is more than just picking up and ball and playing. It's about dedication and determanition. It's about having everything in your sucked out of you but still sprinting down the court with everything you have left in the last 3 seconds of the game, only to get the winning shot. It's about knowing that whats best for the team, is whats best for you, and when something is decided that you dont like you keep your personal opinions to yourself. It's about the passion to get out on the court and run as hard as you can, go up strong, and play for your team, your community and your peers. It's about being that person to walk away from the argument, and take it as an adult. It's about helping everyone around you whenever you can. It's about wanting to make a difference in the life of others through the sport. It's about finding that fire deep down inside that drives you to keep going and be at practice, to give it your all at games, to help the opponient up when they fall and to accept help and coaching when you need it. It's about wanting to become a bigger and better player. It's about dreaming big. It's about falling in love with the sport. And I believe that is what makes you a basketball player, Not just someone who plays basketball.

Resolved Question: Rugby and a bit of a soccer question?

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:03:02 GMT

I admit, I'm not too clued up about sports... but just found out that the Blue Bulls got R20 million from the rugby union this year (big conversation about the unfairness of the bulls winning the Currie Cup and all). That's just one team, and that's a pot load of money. So, I'm curious, is that R20 million part of sponsorship money or does each team make more money on top of that R20 million from each team's individual sponsor? Good grief, does that even make sense? And how does the rugby union make money if not from the team's sponsors? Okay, onto soccer... do they get nearly as much money as the rugby teams? The sport itself is bigger, so it stands to reason that they should make more and get more? I'm not a big fan of soccer, but it would be nice to see our soccer team win a few big trophies.

don't the winning trophies mean more than the participation trophies? my son stands in a line of boys and receives a participation trophy every season for his soccer team. a team that he has scored half of the goals and leads the team to a 14-0 season. he's standing next to a boy that might have touched the soccer ball 10 times in one season. does that seem fair? on his soccer team there are about 3 good athletes. these boys will go on and play all kinds of sports and excel. the other boys won't but right now they really think they are on the same level as these boys. their parents tell them this. I think they are setting their kids up for a major shock. when they try out for a real team and they get cut they won't know how to deal with it. it's like lying to your child. I feel sorry for these kids. I would never lie to my son about his abilities. he has to go to job and college interviews some day and I will not be there to save him. I can't go into the employers office and say I think my son deserves this job and you better give it to him. shouldn't he earn it on his own??

For those of you who don't know, this a Dialectical Journal on John Knowles novel, A Separate Peace. If you could help me rephrase thing to improve it, that would be great. Surrounded by peers who have achieved greater limits, one often feels uncomfortable, and craves for self-improvement. Gene, the main character in John Knowles novel, A Separate Peace, strives to “be even”(52) with his best Phineas. Highly troubled by Phineas’s countless rewards, “ …proud to win the Galbraith Football Trophy and the Contac Sport Award, and there were two or three other athletic prizes he was sure to get..”(55); Gene desperately wants to catch up. Not only does this sense of jealousy and resentment apply to Gene, but also to many common teenagers Growing up in a California neighborhood packed with Asians, our perspective on school was unlike the common American perception. Competition in school was unavoidable, almost as if you failed to be the top five, you were considered dumb. Always after a test, with our scores revealed, my peers would automatically start buzzing, “what did ya get?” Although my scores weren’t bad, they were still considerably low compared to others. I felt stupid and shameful, disheartened to learn. Everyday during school, I dreamed of being number one, finally comparable to my peers. Fortunately, I spotted that my peers lacked physical skills. Taking advantage of my peer’s disadvantage, I excelled in every sport, “becoming even”. My need to compare myself with my peers and friends is strongly desired. In this quote, Gene obviously display’s his eagerness to become even with Phineas,” then we would be even, that was all. We would be even.”(52) Comparing with peers, and striving to achieve to their level, is proven to be a common human instinct through Gene’s attitude and my personal experience.

Resolved Question: Butt determined for international return , Your Comments?

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:54:39 GMT

Pakistan batsman Salman Butt, out of favour with the national selectors after a mixed year, says he plans to use the ongoing domestic season to make a comeback. Butt hasn't been able to realise expectations despite an extended run in international cricket. He averages 28.65 in Tests while his ODI average of 38.42 hasn't been enough to preserve his place due to competition from Imran Nazir and Kamran Akmal. "The main thing for me at the moment is to score heavily in domestic cricket, stick to the basics and stick to my routines," Butt told Pakpassion.net after making 177 for National Bank of Pakistan against Lahore Shalimar in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. "I don't like to make changes just for the sake of it and I will stick to what I know best and go with what has helped me over the years... that should help me succeed at this point in my career." Butt was a part of Pakistan's touring squad to Sri Lanka earlier this year but was dropped after making 0 and 28 in the opening Test in Galle, where his team collapsed to a 50-run defeat. He was left out of the subsequent ODI series and ignored for the Champions Trophy. But he's made an impression in the domestic circuit with a potentially match-winning century in his team's opening game in Lahore. "The wicket at the Gaddafi Stadium is a sporting one and I felt good out there," he said. "I was middling the ball nicely and it's great to get off to such a promising start in what is sure to be a very busy season for Pakistan." When asked if he had been contacted by the PCB's selection committee, Butt said: "At the time that I was dropped, it was an interim selection committee, but now that the new committee has had time to settle into their roles, I'm hopeful that there will be contact from the selectors."

It’s remarkable how arrogant the fan base of a team with zero Stanley Cups, no Hall of Fame players, and two homoerotic Swedish twins that seem physically afraid of the playoffs can act. It’s literally mind-boggling! These days, when they’re not too busy demanding trades on local radio shows or reminiscing about that year they almost signed Wayne Gretzky, you can usually find Canucks fans preaching about how hosting Jarome Iginla and the Canadian Olympic team will finally establish their city as a genuine hockey town (sort of like how marrying Lamar Odom made Khloe Kardashian a real celebrity – legitimacy by association). Next time you see a suspected pyramid schemer in the corner of a trendy wine bar sporting a $200 hair cut, $900 suit, and emanating a distinct air of scumbag from his Drakkar Noir-soaked pores - go ahead and ask him about Kevin Bieksa, because odds are he’s a Vancouver Canucks fan and doesn't want to cry himself to sleep again before throwing out obscene predictions about the Norris Trophy. This question will probably get reported. oh well

Resolved Question: Too Much at Stake for the Corporate?

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:08:23 GMT

Cricket as a game, particularly in the Indian sub-continent has glamour, money, popularity and even public emotions involved in it. The national teams have the eyes and ears of millions of cricket enthusiasts upon them. Cashing in on this is a vast economy spawned by cricket, which has grown phenomenally over the years. Knowledge@Wharton on cricket in India cites statistics on the stupendous growth of the cricket world. International Cricket Council (ICC), the sport's apex governing body, had a deficit of $ 150,000 in 1992. By 1997, it was no longer in the red and had made $ 25,000. It has been on the rise ever since. With 2007 World Cup, ICC was expected to make a profit of $ 239 million (Actual figures not yet available). Its main source of income is the world cup tournaments. The attempts such as ICC Champions Trophy and ICC Super Series have not been much of a success. India's own BCCI, considered to be the richest cricket association worldwide, has increased its profits from $ 1.11 to $ 7.64 million during 2004-05 and 2005-06. The various cricket governing bodies have their income coming from ticket sales, television broad-casting and sponsorships. Given the huge following of televised cricket in India (200 million in the 2003 World Cup); companies have been willing to spend huge amounts on advertising. Thus, not surprisingly, 85% of the sponsorship for the 2003 World Cup came from Indian companies! India's dominance in the commercial space is evident in the spectator strength, the advertisements, the official global partners for specific events and the sponsorships. Forbes Magazine's valuation of the cricket boards in 2006 pegs BCCI's worth at $ 1.5 billion, while ICC was at a comparatively lesser figure of $ 200 million. While there are 10 test-playing members of ICC, India contributes more than 70% of revenue to the entire sport. The magazine reports: "Most sponsorships and broadcast rights come from India, and Indian tours make foreign boards rich."

Resolved Question: Why are the Pakistanis crying?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:33:19 GMT

Go through the following news: KARACHI: A senior Sindh minister on Tuesday accused India of influencing umpires to get Pakistan ousted from the Champions Trophy semifinal in South Africa. Muhammad Ali Shah, the minister for Sports and a member of the Pakistan Cricket Board governing council, suspected India's role in the sub-standard umpiring, leading to Pakistan's defeat against New Zealand. "Definitely, it is clear that India were miffed at not qualifying for the semi-finals after Pakistan lost to Australia and they took their revenge in their own way. They influenced the umpires to favour New Zealand," Shah said. Australian umpire Simon Taufel had wrongly adjudged Umar Akmal leg-before-wicket at a crucial stage of the match and even admitted to the mistake and apologised later. Shah said he would not refrain from pressing the PCB to see that the International Cricket Council impose at least a one-year ban on Taufel. "Taufel must be banned. He was against Pakistan," Shah fumed. Why is it that the Pakistani minister is whining??? The Porki bullshit has blamed India for bribing Taufel to wrongly give Akmal out!!! What more... he's asking for ban on Taufel just because of one wrong decision!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shame on you Pakis....

"The number of innings of his I have been able to sit back and watch, I think he is an amazing player. Look at his stats and records and it's quite incredible for someone to have stayed in the game for 20 years," Ponting said. "He has set benchmarks for guys like me to chase him and get as close as we can. If I had to last 20 years, I would probably be batting in a wheelchair," he quipped.

Resolved Question: ICC Champions Trophy 2009 SA (african style) theme song that's played when the math broadcast starts? Know it?

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 23:51:52 GMT

Does any one know the name of the theme song that's played at the beginning of the broadcast of the ICC Champions Trophy matches these days? It sounds like an african song (obviously cos the tournament is played in South Africa) and is gorgeous. Does anyone know where I can download that or the name or the artist of that theme? I think since ESPN STAR Sports are the official broadcaster, it's created for them, I don't think their you can find it in their site or anything? Anyway can you help me please? THANKS. AND BY THE WAY, what do YOU think about that song. It sounds great doesn't it? Certainly better than that Shaggy's song ("beautiful game ........." something) in the last World Cup in the Caribbean.

Resolved Question: Do you think that a two-tiered FTP is a possibility?

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:56:14 GMT

As a report by Sunday Star Times, ICC has a draft plan of two-tiered FTP (Future Tour Programme). This system involves two divisions of test nations with a promotion-relegation system. According to reports, Australia, India, South Africa and England will be in top tier, and rest of the teams in bottom tier. But all teams will play equal number of test series, but the top tier teams will play more test matches with each other, while they will play less number of matches with the bottom tier teams. e.g. A Border-Gavaskar trophy test series will have 4 or 5 test matches. But a Warne-Muralitharan trophy will have only 2 test matches. http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/sport/2883022/NZ-cricket-may-get-relegated What are your thoughts? @ Tum Tum: Since both England and Australia belongs to the top tier, The Ashes will have 5 test matches.

Resolved Question: Getting a girlfriend?

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:01:25 GMT

One of my friends(not sure how he is) is probably one of the most competitive people I know and we always seem to be even worse around women. I beat him at sports, at weights, at school and then at being successful with women in clubs. It really annoys me how he makes everything a competition and doesnt leave me alone until I accept the challenge. I dont even show any emotion when I "win" as he sees it. Anyway, he recently got a gf and has been a total big headed idiot about it. For a start I dont think its fair on his gf to be treated like a trophy and its annoying to have it constantly rubbed in your face that your single. He's not the only one of my friends to have a gf and the list is mounting. We are coming up on 20 and Im one of the only single ones left.I really would like to have a gf that I know I would treat really well but all the girls I know are either taken or I have been rejected by them already or I dont see them more than friends. What do I do? I know how to ask a girl out but I just dont know any to ask out lol
