ESPN Around The Horn

Warriors Vs. Mavericks

My experience with ESPN Around The Horn was pretty good! It was just like listening to the radio with out all the commercials. I was surprised when I herd the sound quality of the podcast. I will be subscribing to any ESPN podcast that i can find that also can interview or at least talk about the Warriors game. It's all about the Warriors and the Mavs are going down. They shouldn't be talking about the Yankee's and Red Sox it should be about the number one team in the NBA the Mavs and the Warriors the eighth seed in the playoffs against the first seed in the playoffs.

This video describes why we need a earth day and why we have one.

Copyright #3

1. ) Why can’t copyrighted materials be put on a school website?

2.) How much stuff on the web is copyrighted? (not much, a quarter, about half, etc?)

3.) What is Creative Commons? What does it mean?

4.) Compare the two songs in this copyright case. Do you think the following songs are targeted at different audiences?

5.) Did Harrison infringe on the Chiffon's hit? You be the judge. Listen to the two samples at the following link. How would you rule this?

6.) Rap or Rock? Can you tell the difference?

Answers

1.) Because students can't write them down as there own and neither can the school website.

2.) About a half is copyrighted. Because a lot of websites need concrete details about stuff and the only way to get it right for sure is to copyright them.

3.) Creative Commons is a spectrum of possibilities between full copyright — all rights reserved — and the public domain — no rights reserved. Our licenses help you keep your copyright while inviting certain uses of your work — a "some rights reserved".

4.) Yes I think they are targeted for different audiences. A four year old is not going to get the song very much.

5.) Harrison didn't infringe on the Chiffon's hit because he did not tell the competitors about the beat and stuff. I would rule this a mistrial or a maybe answer, only because a lot of songs use similar bats but not the same one so I guess I would say that it was wrong to use the other persons beat that wasn't yours to start of with.

6.) yes I can tell the difference there two totally different genres. One you use skill to play and the other you just use lyrics.

Copyright #2

1.) What does copyright law protect?

2.) Why are there copyright laws?

3.) What is fair use?

4.) Does fair use completely cover whatever she wants to do or are there limits to what is fair?

Answers

1.) The copyright law protects against authors and people who have work and don’t want other people to copy it and say it’s their own.

2.) There are copyright laws because a lot of books and quotes and other stuff were getting copied and the person who copied them was getting credit for someone else’s work.

3.) Fair use is using your own work and not taking one second to highlight and copy someone else’s work. Fair use is taking time and earning the grade you deserve. If that means taking an F then get the F and know why you got that F.

4.) Yeah there has to be limits because without limits then you couldn’t quote the person or you couldn’t give credit to the person if you wanted there work in your also.

Copyright?

Now, tell us, what is copyright? Why do we have copyrighting? (include your answers in a word document – you will transfer them over to a blog entry to receive credit for this assignment later).

1.) Copyright is the law that protects the work of authors, artists, composers, and others from being without permission to copy.

2.) We have copyrighting because authors, composers, and other people don’t want there stuff being copied like it is someone else’s work.

Fuzzy Logic

What is Fuzzy Logic? Based on what you know about binary logic (on/off or 0/1), what is the advantage of using fuzzy logic? Fuzzy Logic is a new way of thinking like a human but in a computer. It's revolutionizing the world with it's new capabilities. The human brain can only think of a (o,1) answer (yes,no) or (either,or). Fuzzy logic can think in between those.

What I Learned About Abortion

I have learned all about different kinds of people and what they think. All people have different opinions about abortion. A lot of people thought if you got raped you should have an abortion unless you would go through nine months of pain for the kid you don't want. I'm not saying that you should get an abortion but a lot of people want a kid who they can love and nobody wants to tell their kid "hey I got raped and I don't know who your dad is." So I have learned that many people have diffrent opinions like a lot of people thought an abortion would cost over a thousand dollars. It all depends on the insurance you have as an individual or as a family. Also a lot of people thought that mostly teenagers have abortions. Actually most teenagers have the baby because they have a family to fall back on their family can always take care of the baby until the teenager is grown up. I've learned a lot and so did my partner Kelly and we hope you did to have a nice day.

Difficulties In Abortion

The difficulties in abortion is that a lot of people are against abortion just for certain reasons. Like if they get raped and our pregnant they usally want to have an abortion with that certain baby. Or for exsample if the parent is way to young like sixteen or fifteen then they would most likly get an abortion. So many people say it's murder and in some cases i would agree with them but in other cases i would most likly dissagree with them. In the situation that you got raped would you go through nine months of regret and then have the baby either live with the baby that not even yours, or give in up for adoption. A lot of people don't want to go through with the pain so they just go the easy way and get a abortion.
