Q's on Children's March

       You've probably heard that there was segregation in the south a long time ago. Segregation is when white and black people disciminate each other because of skin color. Martin Luther KIng, Rosa Parks are most likely names you've heard every now and then. We'll did you know at one point kids were the main protestor agaisnt segregation. Curious then read on to learn how what and why.
       Bermingham was the worst city for segregation and voilence in the south. By the way its nickname use to be Bommingham. That's becausethere were 60 unknown bombings in the city. At this time there was still slavery and all the black kids parents worked for the white familys. All the black kids from Bermingham and the surronding cities came to be arrested! This was because martin Luther King said that we need to fill up the jails. And since the black mom and dads worked for the whites they could not sacrifice themselves. This was because if they missed a day of there work they would lose their house, car and their job.The first day of this sacrifice was known as D-Day.D-Day was announced by a rapper by the name of Playboy that all the black kids loved to listen to. Well he announced to all the kids there was going to be a "party" at the park. But the KIds Knew that meant it was the day to fill up the jails and get arrested. It got so out of hand becuase all the swarming kids, the whites brought in a tank to control the children. And the tank was solid white, the white people didnt really care. But the black people could,nt understand why someone would do or even think of that. But these kids had lots of help, even a techer called Mrs. Goree turned her back and lets the kids go to the park for D-Day during class.
       So no matter how little you are you can make a difference in everyhing you do, this is a great example of this. This kids wanted freedom so the fought through the defiance to get what the wanted and to make the world a better place to live. For everyone

Q's on project

Questions:
1. What is your final project going to be? What led you to choose this idea for your project?
My partner and I are undecided on our final project. We have thoughts that we might just type a paper. But we are extremly focused on our first projesct and using every seconed of class work time. So we really havent even brainstormed ideas for the next paroject.

2.How is the project unfolding for you?
We are doing good because our heads are buzzing with ideas about what we can do for our imovie.Right now we are in the gathering information process, but we are making tons of progress every day. We are utilizing every second we can to work. since imovie 11 can now be accesed by use we are making our project extremly creative.

3. How are you gathering the required information?
We've found alot of online resources that give us the excact information we need. Also, we are using knowledge gained before from lectures and short videos. Such as brain pop and Huber pop, but the google is our main website along with wikipedia as well.

4. What's happening that you didn't expect? In other words, how has your project changed over time?
We actually starting writing a paper first, but we couldn't gather enough knowledge and creativity to make the writing piece a success. So we have decided to make a movie and utilize our computer more. We are extremely far ahead of what we would be if we were just writing a paper.

Current Event QTR 2 wk 8:NFL's highest-paid defensive player suspended for season

Albert Hansworth was signed to the Washiton Redskins, an Nfl football team. In the free agent list Albrt Hansworth was singed for 100,000,000 dollars, and he is a defensive tackle.  But after the 12th game of this NFl season Hansworth got cut off the team. Missing these last 4 regular season games will end up costing him around 3.5 million dollars. However he did earn 34 million dollars over the past 20 seasons with the Washington Redskins. Though he could be a destructive force when on the field, Haynesworth far too often played without emotion or effort. Because of this, he won't be missed in the team's locker room or by fans. His tenure in D.C. has been characterized by that laziness, apathy and a general sense that the $100 million man would rather be anywhere than in Washington. I think this is an excellent idea I mean its his job he should play ever game like its the superbowl. I also cant believe they would sign him a contract for 100 million dollars and just cut him after Twenty seasons with the Washington Redskins. Its Hansworth fault through for not putting forth the effert. Just like life there will be consiquences for not trying hard enough on a football field. I believe the Washington Redskins did the right thing.

Current Event Qtr 2 Week 5: Report Out on Deadly Black Hawk Crash

http://www.military.com/news/article/report-out-on-deadly-black-hawk-crash.html?wh=news

              Wiesbaden, Germany -- Investigators were unable to determine the cause of the Feb. 3 Army helicopter crash near Mannheim, Germany, but revealed several miscues made by the unit and the flight crew before takeoff. The flight left Stuttgart Army Airfield and crashed during its final approach to Coleman Army Airfield into a forested area with pine and oak trees averaging more than 100 feet tall. That was there final destination of there routine flight but they were not properly authorized for this flight. The helicopter hit the trees at more than 160 miles per hour. This is a deadly crash that killed three U.S. soldiers at they impact of the crash.According to the 15-6, the crew did not receive proper authorization for the flight, flew with an expired weather brief, and loaded the aircraft with more fuel than was authorized. The report said the degree of destruction to the aircraft and its components, along with not having a flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder on board, prevented investigators from determining the cause of the crash. I think that is is the crews fault for not following orders but it is sad that they lost there lives because of it. This is some crazy equipment and it can be very dangerous to use sometimes. So there are  precautions and procedures to use it. And it is a shame that those U.S. soldiers died but it would not have happened if they just followed orders like they were trained to do.

Current Events QTR 2 Week 3: Armor School's 1st Bradleys Hit Benning

Fort Benning is one of the most brutal places on earth. This is where  all branches of the military are trained this includes Armor school. Three M2A2 Operation Desert Storm Bradley fighting vehicles arrived Friday at Building 5205. Now Fort Benning is training new soldiers how to use these Bradley Tank Systems. This tank is now a needed resource in combat overseas.
I personally am surprised that Fort Benning is not already using this vehicle in training. I also understand because the Bradley Tank System showed its worth in Operation Desert Storm. I don't really see the point of getting more tanks when there are already so many in operation. Also, isn't it expensive to build more weapons when the economy is so bad? I think they could spend the money better.

Current Event #2 QTR #2: Controversy over Ole Miss mascot

 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/15/us/15mascot.html?_r=3&ref=usfro

On Thursday the Ole Miss Rebels changed their mascot from Colonel Reb to their supposedly new and improved mascot...Rebel Black Bear. The new mascot is named after a bear based on a story by William Faulkner, an Ole Miss graduate.  The school is changing mascots in order to have one that is more politically correct. Some fans are upset about the change and would like to see the return of the old mascot, Colonel Reb, who has not been allowed to the games since 2003.

My opinion is that it is part of the history of the school. They shouldn't change it because it is part of the school spirit. I can understand if you don't care about the school, but if people go there they should have the mascot they like. Many college fans are crazy about their mascot. Why should this one be any different?
