When I was looking at the articles in the "Upfront" magazine we received Thursday, one of the first you will see "advertised" is an article about sagging. I looked at all of them and decided I want to do that one. It is about how high school teen boys "sag." Sagging is when a male, maybe in some cases female, lower the pants way below the waist and show their underwear. It is a new trend among many teens. The article is about if the style of fashion should be outlawed by the government. It is already outlawed in Florida and Arkansas schools. I believe it should be outlawed.

I believe that government can't outlaw sagging, but it should end for sure. It is just showing that you are basically trash when you are sagging. I do not understand people that do sag, why do they do it? Though we go to a private school and have to wear uniforms, there is still sagging happening at our school. It would be a very difficult process to basically ban sagging, but like I said earlier, it should end. They also said in the article that when you don't sag, it makes you look more professional, which is a very obvious observation. There are many reasons why people do not want to see another person sagging. No one wants to see what type of underwear you are wearing, it makes you look like trash, and it is just ugly. It is not the right type of fashion you want. I believe the government should at least attempt to pass a law for high school students to not sag in all states. If you think about it, the government is helping you. You won't look like an idiot to other people.

Week 16
This news could be a little old, but since USC was banned from a bowl game, talk about Matt Barkley making a decision about gooing to the NFL or staying his senior year has been heating up. If you don't know, Matt Barkley has been the starting quarterback at University of Souther Cal for the past 3 years. If he decides to go into the draft, he is projected by Mel Kiper to be the 3rd overall draft pick. He recently filed paperwork for the NFL. That does NOT mean he decided to go into the draft. Here is more information. http://www.sacbee.com/2011/12/01/4093438/uscs-barkley-mulls-decision-files.html
If I was Matt Barkley, I would stay at USC for my senior year. Though USC won't be able to go to a bowl game next year either, he could still contend for the Heisman Trophy, just like he is this year, and also contend to be the 1st overall pick in the NFL draft. Though he is competing for the Heisman Trophy this year, my gut feeling is that Andrew Luck will win the Heisman this year and end up being the 1st pick of the draft. If Barkley stays, he most likely will be a top conteder for both the Heisman and 1st pick of the draft. He shouldn't worry about getting injured, too. Sam Bradford was injured his last year of college football and ended up being drafted #1 overall in the 2010 draft. Though I do not like USC, Barkley should forgo the draft and come back for his senior year.

Week 15
It was reported that Urban Meyer has been talking about taking the head coaching job at Ohio State. He was previously the head coach at Florida and left due to health related issues. He too awhile off and now is reportidly talking with Ohio State. Rumor has it that talks are getting serioius and are most likely true. Ohio State had to fire Jim Tressel, their old headcoach, before the season due to issues about him knowing that players were selling items from the football program to get cars, tattoos, and money. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/college/urban-meyer-ohio-state-rumors-flame-suspicions-about-coachs-exit-from/1203365
I think if Urban took this job, Ohio State would just dominate the Big Ten Conference. So many recruits would want to go play for Urban Meyer and at a big name school like Ohio State. He is a great coach, and a clean coach too. He has never cheated in recruiting, even when Lane Kiffin, being an idiot as he is, tried to say that he was a cheater. The NCAA said it was not cheating and Kiffin eventually apoligized, which he should have never said anything so stupid. But going back to the topic, he would get so many big recruits and dominate the Big Ten. The only competition they would have is Wisconsin, which is starting to have a great football program. Michigan could possibly be a challenge, but they are slowly degrading in their talent. I believe Ohio State should hire Urban Meyer. It would be a good thing for Ohio State, the Big Ten, and the NCAA to have this type of coach back.

WEEK 14 (ROUND 4, 1)
Thursday in class, we had news that there was a a case of a 14 year old girl in Washington Court House, Ohio was bullied by her teachers. Her parents bugged her with a tape recorder and had evidence that she was being harrassed and bullied by two teacher. Here is a link that has some of the sound they recorded, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/15/14-year-old-special-needs-student-bullied-by-teachers_n_1095110.html. Basically, the teacher kept calling her dumb, lazy, stupid, a liar, and a cheater. There is a part in the video when the teacher doesn't even take her test, saying that she knows she already failed. Also, she answered a question wrong and was forced to run on a tredmill.
According to the news, one teacher was put on un-paid lead until the end of the year and the other was asked to resign. I believe this is ludacris! The teachers should be fired immedietley. What more evidence does one need? There is voice recordings of the teachers harrassing and bullying her. They didn't grade her test, they called her lazy, stupid and dumb. Also, they made her run on a treadmill when she got an answer wrong! That is ridiculous! These teachers should be fired right away. We also had news Thursday that a similar case happened in New Jersey, and that teacher was put on paid leave. How could you put a teacher on paid leave when there is video evidence of the teacher threatening, bullying, and harassing the students. I believe that schools should somehow should find out about these things happening and have a no tolerence ruls and fire the teacher immedietley. This is ridiculous.

WEEK 13 (Round 3)
Earlier this week, Penn State fire head coach Joe Paterno due to a sex scandal that happened approximetley throughout the years 1997-2002 involving 8 male minorities ranging from ages aprroximetley 7 to 15. The man accused of the crimes is Penn State's ex-deffensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. I took the time to read the 23 page Grand Jury describtion which is very disturbing. Here is a link of the Grand Jury report, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/documents/sandusky-grand-jury-report11052011.html. Also, here is a link of the article reporting of Joe Pa's firing, http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7214380/joe-paterno-president-graham-spanier-penn-state.
This incident is a very disturbing case. The 8 young boys that were harrased, mollested, and raped must have gone through way too much since it started and also now that everything is being released. There are disturbing cases in which Sandusky, on multiple occasions, took a boy into the Penn State football locker room showers after working out and would pressure them into showering closer to him. As you would think, there was sexual contact in the showers very often. I will not describe what all he did in the showers but he was caught red-handed one time and other times there was suspisious acting. I just find it very odd that the boys who were involved in this case and did have parents, that their parents allowed them to hang out with Sandusky when they barely know him. With one victim, his mother did find out about what Sandusky had done with her son and was very aggrivated. Other victims would just tell their parents to not answer his calls and what not. Sandusky would invite them to games, practices, work out with them, and even invite them to sleep over at his house. It seems as almost every victim slept at Sandusky's house which would lead to Sandusky coming down and trying to give a massage to the boy and which he would try to lead it on. Also, it seems as almost every victim rode in the car with Sandusky and he put his hand on their leg and he tried to move it up into the male area. This is just a very, very disturbing case.

WEEK 12
As we watched "What Would You Do?" we saw a skit with an actor stealing from another actors gas pump. The actor who was getting the gas stolen from went inside and the person stealing took their pump and pumped gas into their car. This is apperently happens often. I have never heard of it happeneing, but after I watched it, it seemed like something that could happen all the time. It does not seem that hard to pull off. Here is a short clip, though it is a comedey, of how they stole gas in the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P7oGdbY33M
This way to steal gas is a very clever way. As I said above, I have never heard of this way to steal gas untill we watched the skit. There is videos and articles all over the internet on how to steal gas. We all know that gas prices are deffinetly not at a good price, so obviously there are people who are going to try and steal because they can not afford paying for gas as much as they go to the gas station. I would never steal gas, but this was a very clever way to steal gas.

Round 3 Week 2
As "Occupy Wall Street" seems to have just reached its peak, more people were arrested in Texas and Oregon. It has now traveled across the world and is not only effecting the US economy. Many countries too are occupying their "Wall Street." http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/30/us/texas-occupy-austin/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
I agree with the act. I believe that the protestors are doing the right thing. Our economy is slowly getting out of hand. We need to do something about it. We have been waiting for something to happen since Obama was elected President. He said he would change the country in a positive way. Obviously, the economy is getting worse and worse almost everyday. It is about time people are taking charge and trying to change the economy.

It was reported that Gaddahfi was killed the other day. There is a video that is out and is posted. It is very graphic and harsh acts done by the rebels. He was found in a sewer in his home town and paraded around town and killed. Watching the video somewhere on the internet will help you understand what I am saying. Some people have a problem about how harshly he was killed. I will be talking about that today. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/20/muammar-gaddafi-dead-libya_n_1021843.html
I believe that the acts done by the rebels was not harsh at all. It was the right moves made by the rebels. Gaddahfi had it coming. He killed many people of his own country and was a dictator for too long. Though this may sound horrible, I personally like how they killed him with his own gun. It was clever how they took his shoes and hit him in the face and killed him with his own gun. Clever acts made by the rebels.
