McCain Vs. Obama In There First Debate.

A Debate Of Substance By: The Rocky Mountain News
What is it that America needs the most right now, In the words of The Rocky Mountain news McCain, The tough guy or Obama, the healer? If you look at the past four years with Bush, who in my opinion is the worst president in U.S. History i think its time for some major healing. We have been roughed up enough. True Obama doesn't know as much about foreign affairs as he should, But he can learn foreign policy and affairs shouldn't be an issue and he seems to be the only candidate giving faith and hope to our country. The men over seas need to come home, and the economy needs massive amounts of fixing. Our country is rather broken right now, and if Obama is really the healer in this elections he needs to be in office. its time for change.

Good Teachers CAN Teach Anything Anyway.

"So, do you think one lesson from this experience might be that a good teacher can teach anything from anything else?" According to Mr.Fisch in his blog Macbeth, Music, Mathematics, and Teaching: Can A Good Teacher Teach Anything From Anything Else? this question was asked by Gary Starger to Anne Smith about Smiths way of teaching. This question sprouted a few of my own questions. Is the point of school learning, or finding different ways to learn? I have come to find that finding different ways to learn is the way to go, and i believe that a good teacher CAN teach anything anyway. A good math teacher should have multiple ways of teaching things like equations and fractions, there shouldn't be just one answer. So many different types of students cant learn the material just because there is only one answer. A good English or Social Studies teacher should have created ways to teach whatever is being learned. In realizing how important it is to find eclectic ways to learn, and teach differently i have begun to realize as much as i hate waking up at 5:45am, hate doing homework, and hate going to school education is very important to me, its the only thing that will get me to where i want and need to be in my life. I hope the future of learning, and education begins to see a much more broad horizon and teachers begin to teach differently, and students become willing to learn.

Albert Pujols: Is his baseball season really in danger this year?

Many cardinal haters are hoping the home run hitter, Albert Pujols wont be able to play this season, due to his hurt elbow. But, as this article states Pujols and his team of representatives believe his season is not in any danger at all. Sense 2003 Pujols has been playing, and hitting home runs with a torn ligament. Personally, i agree with his representatives that he will do just fine. But, i think a surgery is in order for his elbow. If the Cardinals are planning to make it far this season there best bet is to make sure that this slugger gets his elbow back to normal, Or as normal as possible. Even if that means something as radical as reconstructing his entire elbow, Or even something as simple as leaving it in a brace for a few weeks or months. As a die hard cardinals fan, i hope the team is more than willing to take any sort of measures to make sure there team makes it as far as they can.
