A lot of people send in Myths that never make the show because there has to be police reports and at least five witnesses to get it to Adam and Jamie (the show hosts).

The Two Blogs Listened To

I listened to Angelina's podcast about tobacco and other drugs and that they don't just affect you they affect other people as well. So many other kids that aren't smoking are still getting the affects of a person that is smoking. This is caused by second hand smoking. This is when you either are smoking near or around other people causing them ti inhale your cigarette or other smoke. Cigarette smoke contains hundreds of toxins including tar. The other blog that I listed to was Darren his podcast was all about paper bags. It was about paper bags and how they are used and how they are better then plastic bags. Paper bags are also better for the environment. Plastic bags don't biodegrade into the soil. I would give them both on a scale one to ten both of them would receive a nine ten being the best.

My Global Communications Project

My global communications project was about the MLB vs. the NFL. I did a podcast about it and it turned out pretty good. Also my interview was about five minutes and thirty seconds long. A lot of problems occured when doing the podcast my copmputer randomly just shut off halfway through so i had to start it all over again. Sometime thirty minutes later i finished and it was the best feeling knowing that i finished with time to spare.

Dogs vs. Cats Who's A Better Pet


Cats vs. Dogs

I think dogs are better friends to play with, but on the other hand cats are better to just chill with. Like you can chill with a cat not worrying if it is going to go pee or poo in your room or where ever you may be. A dog will poo or pee at random if you do not train it not to do that certain thing. If you do train a dog it will still make a mistake if it can't get out the door. Cats will have a litter box for when ever he or she wants to use the bathroom. many dogs are bread for running and their loving nature to be man's best friend. Cat's are mainly bread for the customer, and on who is buying the certain cat.

The LG Chocolate- MacMaui



The Chocolate from LG

The Chocolate phone from LG is pretty cool! It is touch activated on the front and the numbers are like bubbles when you puss them down. A lot of people are trying to say oh when you put it in your pocket the touch buttons go off. Then put a lock on it wow are you guy's that stupid. It comes with a lock already on it. Also you could change the sensitivity towards the touch pads so if you rub against it, it won't push buttons. What's the big deal anyway it's not like you can dial numbers when it in your pocket. It is also a part MP3 player so you could have your new songs right there on your phone. I think the Chocolate is a cool phone and I’m getting it this Thursday! You should buy it online to get a fifty dollar discount for those of you that are paying for it yourselves. LG is a pretty good company known for expensive phones and reliable phones. Here's a link to the Chocolate, Chocolate Web Site.

Warriors Win NBA Playoffs Round One

Dallas Head coach Avery Johnson as seen above.


The Golden State Warriors win the NBA playoffs round 1 and they are off to a really good start. Stephen Jackson as seen on my left had a great game. He picked up 33 points and 10 out of nine Field goals. "I wanted to be aggressive," Jackson said. "Baron came out and told me he wasn't feeling as good as he had in previous games, and he wanted me to carry us. I wanted to stay focused, not worry about calls, not get too emotional, just bring my energy with my play.". For the Mavericks their best player was Josh Howard who scored twenty points and 8 out of nineteen Field goals. Their usual star Dirk Nowitzki only scored eight points and shot 0 for 6 three point shots, he also had three turnovers that costed Dallas major points. Baron Davis as seem on my right had twenty points with a pulled hamstring. He made three out of ten three pointers and had ten rebounds. The Warriors over came great odds and struggles through the number one seed in the playoffs and knocked them out. This is one of the few times this has ever happened. Dallas head coach Avery Johnston may lose his job for benching Dirk Nowitzki in game 3? New reporters say that he is taking a lot of heat for benching his star players when the series was tied. Could they have won if he didn't bench them?

MLB vs. NFL



Kattenhorn, Jake

Global Communications

7th Period Script

Sports MLB vs. NFL

MLB

There’s a big difference between the two sports and how they are played. One thing the both have in common is that they both use ball to play the sport. First let’s talk about baseball, and how you play it. Well you will need a glove, bat, cleats, uniform, and eight other players not including yourself. You will need a pitcher, second basemen, first basemen, third basemen, shortstop, catcher, left fielder, right fielder, and a center fielder. The pitcher will throw the ball at the batter’s strike zone and try to get three strikes. When the batter gets three strikes he is out and the next batter will have to take his place. The pitcher has one of the most important jobs because with out a pitcher you couldn't play because no one could pitch the ball. The batter will try to hit the ball and if he succeeds he will run all the way to first base and if the ball is still not yet played then he could go to second and on from there. The goal in baseball in the offence or batting position is to score runs off the defense.

The defenses objective is to not allow runs to come in by pitching good or making plays in either the infield or outfield. If the defense catches the ball then the player is out. If the defense fields the ball and throws it to first before the runner gets there then the runner is out. A player on the offence could hit the ball over the outfield fence and if he does then it is a home run. You also could score someone on any base by hitting the ball and advancing the runners either home or to other bases such as second third or first. The defense could also try to pick off the players if they are taking a lead at first. The pitcher can throw the ball to first and get the leader out if he chooses to. The player on the bag or base can run or steal second by running on his/her own risk and slide to second or to any other base without being thrown out by the catcher.

NFL

The NFL is very different compared to the MLB. They both need to consist of scoring points and running. The NFL has a lot of players the middle line backers the safety’s the quarterbacks the tight ends the wide receivers the running backs the tailbacks the corners or the linebackers. They all consist of blocking and tackling. The quarterbacks are the only designated throwers on the field. They will try to get a touchdown by throwing to a receiver or handing off to a running back. The defenses job is to stop or tackle the guy with the ball at all costs. If the quarterback gets tackled then it’s called a sack. If someone gets tackled and they lose the ball it’s called a fumble. When this occurs the defense can get the ball and try to score a touchdown. When a quarterback throws a ball and the defense catches it then it is called an interception. After a touchdown you have a chance to go for two extra points or one if you go for one then you can kick a field goal for one point. To make a field goal you will need to kick the football through the uprights. If you go for two then you can pass or run depending on the situation. You could also kick a field goal for three points with out a touchdown in front of it at any time in the game.

1.) Witch one do you like better NFL or the MLB?

2.) Did you have any questions about either sport?

3.) Witch one would you rather play?

4.) Witch one do you think is more complicated MLB or NFL?

5.) Witch one do you think would cause more injuries?

6.) Witch one would you rather go to a MLB game or a NFL game?

Del.icio.us Blog Top 3 Sites


My top three sites on Del.icio.us were The Warriors home page, the game web site call Teagames, and Schoolloop. I chose the Warriors because they are my favorite basketball team and they are in the playoffs. They are versus the Dallas Mavericks and the lead the series three to one in a seven game series. I chose (The picture to the right of TG Motorcross on Teagames web site) Teagames because when I'm bored at my house I do that or watch T.V. Last on my list and last to do before I go to sleep is homework on Schooloop.com. I get my homework from there and then I transfer it over to my notebook with the assignment it tells me I have to do. That's my top three tags on Del.icio.us.
Here's a link to go to Capuchino High Schoolloop.com.
