A-Rod Named Baseball's Most Clutch- Bryan Hoch- MLB.com
This article is about Alex Rodriguez and how he has been awarded the most clutch person in the MLB. I would think that coming back from a rough first year in New York that it would be hard to do something like this. He put up some amazing numbers this year. He hit 54 home runs and had 156 RBI’s. This stands for runners batted in. This stat is amazing from coming back from a rough year. I think that people had put so much pressure on him his first year because of the contract that the Yankees had given him. I think that by spending a year in New York and getting that entire negative attitude toward him his first year that he has to realize what New York fans where like. I think he changed how he played and got back on track and posted some of the greatest numbers every. I think that if I look up to a pro athlete like this then it can teach me a good lesson to work harder and harder and something good will happen. If I put a negative attitude on my teammates then if one player gets on the others then the team does not have a good attitude and will not perform at there best. I believe that you always need to stay positive when do anything and you will be able to achieve a great goal.

Maine Middle School To Offer Birth Control
Maine Middle School To Offer Birth Control- CNN Education
This article struck out when I saw the title. It is about how schools in Portland, Maine are offering Birth Control pills to those in middle school who are pregnant and do not want to have a baby. They just started to offer these pills at the schools health center. All the kids need to get these pills is, to have there parents get them into the health canter by saying they are sick or some excuse that they make up to there parents. The kids do not have to tell their parents about the birth control pills just need parents to get them into the health center. I think this is a very big issue, kids at the ages of 11-14 having sexual intercourse. What is are world coming to today? Is it that kids are watching movies and TV ads that talk about having sexual interaction and want to try it for them selves? I believe in my religion as a catholic that I should not have premarital sex. I think that when you hear that “5 out of 134 kids have had sexual intercourse” that this is wrong in so many ways. This can go with the law of rape and going against so many beliefs that people have. So lets say for instants that you have 2,110 kids at your school.(I got this number from the Arapahoe website on how many kids we have enrolled.) This would mean out of all those kids in the school that 79 kids would have had sexual interaction. I would believe this is a very large number of students in high school to be having premarital sex. I think that parents need to be talking to their kids about this issue and kids need to be telling their parents if something does happen.

Mom Who Left Baby In Tub Gets 90 Days
Mom who left baby in tub gets 90 days- The Denver Post- Arthur Kane
This is a very interesting article to me because it talks about child abuse. I was always afraid of child abuse when I was a kid. I never knew how much my parents loved me and if they were punishing me, it was for my own good. Because of what they did when I was, young made it easier for me when I grew up to respect my parents and treat them with respect. I think this is a big thing inn our class room today. We have not been showing each other respect, we have not shown Mrs. Comp respect, and we have not respected others in the classroom. I believe that everyone has the chance to say something in the classroom. I also believe that every kid in the room has the right to believe what they want to believe. Therefore, this means not making fun of others when they ask a question, or saying I do not think you because you think this. I think this is a big issue in our classroom and we need to stop it now. If we resolve this problem then I think that our classroom would be a more fun filled environment.
Shhh! I'm Googling My Facts
Shhh! I’m Googling My Facts-Dave Warlick- 2¢’s Worth
This article is very interesting to me. It talks about how Dave’s son is doing some research on Google about the attacks of 9/11. His first place to look for information is Google. It talks about how his kid is in the seventh grade and thinks that everything that is on Google is all right to use for information because it is true information. I think that if kids are always thinking that everything that is on Google is all right. I think that teachers and parents need to tell there kids that not every thing on the internet is true. I believe that if parents tell there kids this before the get into high school it would be easier for them to understand that you need to search and find the right information. Because if you understand that the internet is always right then it will be easier for you to understand that you have to put some work into your research and get a good grade. If you do not put your effort in, then you probably end up with not a very good grade.

CSU Editor Faces peer Review Today
“CSU Editor Faces Peer Review Today”- Mike McPhee- The Denver Post
This article is about J. David McSwane. He is the editor for Colorado State University newspaper. He is the main character in this article, because of his headline he published, “"Taser This, F... Bush.” He wrote this comment as his headline because of what happened to a Florida student. The student got tasered because he spoke out while John Kerry was speaking. He is getting tried for his quote in the newspaper. This stood out to me when I saw it. I thought it was very interesting what he had said. It had not only applied to me by the language he used but to my brother because he goes to CSU. I think now when I see the Arapahoe newspaper that is a student editing this, is it being looked at by the office before it is printed. I think this is a main reason why this quote was so hurtful and rude. Since he is the editor of the newspaper is he the only one who looks at and reads over it, or does the principal of CSU read the newspaper before it is sent out. I hope that this will never happen again because schools should be smarter and not only let the kids be the editor but maybe a administrator should look at it before it gets printed.

Casual Sunday Morning Conversation
“Casual Sunday Morning Conversation”- Dave Warlick- 2¢ Worth
This is an article by Dave on a Sunday morning. He is getting ready to check his e-mail when he notices a post by his collage. It says that he is going to do a test on an internet program. This program is welcome to any person who wants to download it; it is available on any internet browser for the use on an “audio-video communications.” My point is not what he is doing on the program but is whether the world is moving to fast in technology. I think that in my own life that technology is just improving every day after day. I also think they same about my classroom. In Arapahoe High School I just read that we have gone wireless through out the school. This is a big step for my school because I believe that this has been a main goal for a while for our school to go wireless. This would help our school because it gives the chance for kids who have laptops to bring them to school to use on their one time. In addition, this would help our library because when there are many people in there using the computers it gets noisy and hard to focus on your task. So to answer my question I do believe in some ways that we are moving to quickly in technology.
