    ""Archery really is 95 percent mental and 5 percent physical, so when you're at a tournament, not only should you be focused, but you should be calm," said team member Vickie Phan. Tournaments force individuals to focus on their own shots, and block out that of their competition. "It's a head game," team member Tiffany Hsu added. "Some of the archers from other schools, they will try and get in your head.""

Floyd Mayweather Junior title bout against Manny Pacquiao terms agreed : In Entertainment - 0 views

  •  
    I'm learning more about boxing right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: Why is Boxing called a sport? I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because it shows that boxing is something very imporant now days, that their are many boxers that fight and end up being fanous. For example Many Pacquiao, he is an amazing fighter. I can say even better than Oscar DeLa Oya. But lets face it, Oscar is pretty old and can't fight no more due to his age. I blieve. The title of this post that caught my eye is called Intertainment. Something that stood out for me is that Manny is fighting Flyd Mayweather in March 13. Which I find it so INTERESTING!! I have to pay this to see it. It's going to be amazing. Knowing that Mayweather is an amazing fighter. The Best. But for me the best is Manny. http://mmazoo.blogspot.com/2009/12/boxing-elitists-dont-get-it.html Boxing is certainly more popular worldwide than MMA is, but you have to remember, the sport has a long history. Boxing has been reestablished for well over a hundred years, and have a pretty decent talent pool to dip into. The quote I chose here is basically saying that boxing is a sport where is mainly called hobby but it's where you show the people who is the best on this sport. Even though this sport is painful but many people enjoy it seeing it. I think is great. I think this is descriptive adjective because it makes me wonder if what will be the future boxing will it be the same as now or will it change in a way.

For Naismith, Basketball Was Only a Start - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • James Naismith and his wife, Maude, practicing basketball, a game he invented in 1891 as a way to keep rowdy students busy during winter.
    • corey stanley
       
      I feel this sport that was created years and years ago really helped kids get active and have something different to do on there off time.
  • James Naismith is known to the world as the inventor of basketball
    • corey stanley
       
      I love this guy for inventing what is now my favorite sport. lol
  • A minister as well as a medical doctor, he quickly realized that taller players had an advantage in basketball and wondered if there was a way to stretch babies to make them grow taller. Naismith actually conducted experiments on a machine he invented
    • corey stanley
       
      This quote is interesting to me because this man tried to make babies grow taller to have an advantage at his sport. It shows that e put a lot of thought into this invention even though making babies taller is impossible

Basketball Rules and How To Play The Game - 0 views

  • Women's basketball began in 1892 at Smith College when Senda Berenson, a physical education teacher, modified Naismith's rules for women
    • corey stanley
       
      this is something that i didnt even know, i thought womans basketball was created much later.
  • Dribbling, the bouncing of the ball up and down while moving, was not part of the original game except for the "bounce pass" to teammates. Passing the ball was the primary means of ball movement. Dribbling was eventually introduced but limited by the asymmetric shape of early balls. Dribbling only became a major part of the game around the 1950s as manufacturing improved the ball shape.
    • corey stanley
       
      So before the traveling rule was inforced, ball players would just run with the ball without bouncing the ball, im glad they changed that rule because it would be too easy to actually score and move the ball back and forth.
  • Basketball was originally played with a soccer ball
  •  
    Im learning more about college basketball and basketball in general, and what i am particulary wondering about is how different was the sport then (in 1891) to now. I was reasearching this question online and this blog post caught my attension because it explains the history of the game. "After rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot (3.05 m) elevated track. In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its bottom, so balls scored into the basket had to be poked out with a long dowel each time. A soccer ball was used to shoot goals. Whenever a person got it in the basket, they would give their team a point. Whoever got the most points, they would win the game.[2]" The quote I chose here is showing how the game evolved over many years. When the game was first created the basket was very different from the ones we have today, along with the basketball and some of the rules. Now everything is completly different but for the better. There are gyms, parks, rec centers a lot of different places all over the world where people can play the game for fun of try to actually make it a career. Before it was just something to do to get kids off the streets, now it has perks. Scholarships are given out, and many are getting paid millions of dollars to play the game. I think this is a perfect blog about the game then and now because a lot of people can really learn from this. It makes me wonder if people really know the complete history behind the sport even college and NBA players.

      I think this was a good invention to keep kids and adults busy and active instead of doing something stupid and getting into trouble.

    What i noticed most about, "Diversions" was the way the game used to be back in the 50's and 60's when it came to the shoes they wore. This really stood out to me because the stars of the 50's and 60's wore flat little sandle like shoes with a little piece of rubber underneath for about 10-15 years, until sneakers were made. "Basketball was invented in 1891, by Dr. James Naismith. A physical education teacher at the YMCA in Springfield Massachusetts. More than a decade past before any sporting goods companies started to market shoes specifically made for the new game."

$!0k y3@N: Humble as the 2nd personality..... - 0 views

  •  
    I'm learning more about "humble" right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: If one is used to the idea that he/she is smart but is trying to remain humble, can that person still be considered modest?" I was researching this question online, and this blog that contain a really great poem called "If" caught my attention because I feel this poem defines the word "humble" accurately. My favorite part in this poem is the first stanza. "IF - by Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;" The first stanza actually reveals what a humble person really acts like. I suddenly realized that I'm actually not as humble as I have thought. For example, if all the others start to doubt me, I can't pretend nothing has happened and I will definitely try to prove that I'm better all of you have thought; if it turns out that their doubts are right, I'm probably going to lose my confidence and start to doubt myself too. I realized it's not what a humble person will do because a humble person never try to show him/herself, even if he/she is just trying to prove something, not necessarily showing off.

Religion and divorce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

      This is important because Catholicism is the only religion that does not allow for a divorce.
  • "Let not the wife depart from her husband...let not the husband put away his wife" (1 Corinthians 7:10-11), but he also includes the Pauline privilege.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      This demonstrates that Jesus did not support divorces. (What is the Pauline privilege?)
  • For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth. . . . So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress

  • Dharmic religions do not have a concept of divorce. A person following these religions cannot divorce his/her spouse. However, the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 applicable to Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains in India does have provisions for divorce under some circumstances.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      This is important, well not really, because I can compare other religions with Catholicism.
  • However, divorced Catholics are still welcome to participate fully in the life of the church so long as they have not remarried against church law,
  • Since Deuteronomy 24:1-4 did not give Jewish women the right to directly initiate a divorce (See Agunah), did Jesus' answers "in the house" to his disciples expand the rights of women or did they merely acknowledge that some Jewish women, such as Herodias who divorced Herod Boethus, were wrongfully taking rights because Jewish women were being assimilated by other cultures?

Love Poems - Teenage Love Poems - Don't Tell Me You Love Me by Love - 0 views

  •  
    I'm learning more about trust right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: How are trustworthy people identified? I was researching this question online, and this poem caught my attention because it discusses other factors of a relationships that intertwine with trust. "So, when I put all of my trust deep within you Please don't tell me you love me, unless you truly do." The quote I chose here is basically saying that when you learn to trust someone, you expect the same thing back. With trust, you expect to gain true love as well. When people learn to trust another, they want something in a form of a reward. I think this is accurate because when many people commit to something and spend their time, learning to do something, they want something in return. It makes me wonder if a person finally learns to build trust in someone, will they ever be able to trust again if they're betrayed?

The Twelve Gates: Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi Synastry Part 2 - 0 views

  •  
    I'm learning more about synastry right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: How accurate is it? I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because it actually focuses on two real, well-known, people. "The patnership works best when they pursue goals with passionate commitment. Obviously there is the need to be aware that this can be a difficult contact and they have had their fair share of psychic conflicts that can at times spill out into violence of some sort. Lisa's control and distance can create passionate fury in Patrick's Mars. The couple have faced a lot in their relationship and this shows in their more difficult contacts. Patrick has battled alcohol, cocain and a riding accident that almost left him paralyzed, and his final battle was the fight against Cancer." The quote I chose here is basically saying that because of their synastry the two celebrities blend well. Also, their personalities tend to make them work together more. I think this is great support in favor of my topic because it focuses on real people providing an accurate example. It makes me wonder if I'll find more articles like this. I hope so. I kind of want to change my question. I can't find enough news articles on the topic.

Disgraced pediatrician loses licence for 7 years - 0 views

    I'm learning more about things that occur in the medical field right now, and in particular what i'm wondering about is this news paper article.I was researching the question online, and this news item caught my attention because this old man has been a pedittrican for many years and he sexually assualted and drugged all his patients. I think that he is stupid for doing this. It is not worth waiting all your time in medical scholl and in college to throw your career down the drain. "A disgraced pediatrician found gulty of sexually assaulting his patients has had his medical licence suspended for a period of seven years." The quote i chose here is basically saying that a medical doctor was found gulity of sexually assualting his patients for seven years and he had his liscene taken away for 7 years. I think this is wrong because, it makes me wonder the type of things that other people do when they are in the medical field.I think that some people take advantage of their careers and they think that they won't get caught.

Epoch Times - Trust-An Essential Ingredient in Relationships Says Dalai Lama - 0 views

  •  
    I'm learning more about trust right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: How are trustworthy people identified? I was researching this question online, and this news item caught my attention because it talked about Dalai Lama believed in trust within communities rather than individuals. "Trust is a crucial element in building strong communites, the Dalai Lama told a large audience at Auckland's Vector Arena Dec 5." The quote I chose here is basically saying that trust is need in communities to unite people. When they're able to trust each other, they can create a strong and stable community. I think this is interesting because it takes a different look at trust. It looks at trust in a larger manner rather than trust with two individuals. It makes me wonder if a community is able to become stable and improve without having trust.

    I'm learning more about envy right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is "How does envy affect people lives". I was searching this question online and this poem caught my attention because it explains exactly one reaction that envy can cause on people. "When the poison reaches the heart it's too late. Disastrous emotions take over such as revenge and hate." The quote I chose here is basically saying that envy cause people to get their emotions mixed up leading them to do the wrong thing. It also cause people to take revenge and do something they'll regret later on. I think this is correct because that how people react with envy. Not everyone reacts like that but most of them do.
