Nuclear Waste

In They Say I Say, Richard A. Muller wrote an article called" Nuclear Waste" discussing the danger of nuclear waste and where we can store this dangerous chemical. Our initial plan is to store the waste in Yucca mountain, however, the Yucca Mountain will not be large enough to store all our chemical, plus it's costly. Many suggested ways like rocket it up to the sun, but many times rocket will fail and fall back down on earth. Or sinking the chemical down under the sea. This can become very dangerous because if there's a leak, that will pollute the ocean and radioactive the water. This is a serious issue, but not it's not what the people make it seem to be. People are over reacting to think problem, when they should educate themselves on the topic before panicking.

How I Met Your Mother ending

This is easily the best show I watch on television, If it wasn't for the ending. I recently just watch all 9 season of this show. This to me is the most entertaining and funniest show ever. Many people did not like the ending, they were disappointed. For those of you that are going to watch this show, stop reading. I am going to tell you a brief summary of what happened. So, this show is name How I met your mother. For 9 whole season, the show slowly building plot for that important moment. When it did happen, it was not spetacular enough. You could say the intro was overdone, therefore, you expect better from the climax. The worst part wasn't the meeting of Ted (The main character) and the mother of his children. But the fact that the mother died, we only got to see her for only a few episode. And who did ted end up with? Robin(another main character) who has a very complicated relationship with him through all 9 season.

are athletes overpaid?

There is a lot of debate of whether Pros Athletes are overpaid?  A lot of article I found seems to think so. With the reason that other jobs that help society do not get pay as much. Norton states "On Average,full-time firefighters earn an average $47,720 per year, police and highway patrol makes $56,260 and a person with professional doctorate pulls in about $100,000". They supported that these guy help save people lives. They said that people make the claim that Athletes can end their career in one bad game. But think about a police men, who could not only end their career but their live as well. Is it really fair to pay a someone over a millions a year who may torn their ACL, while pay policemen half of 100,000 who could potentially lose their lives.

self driven car

When I was a little I always imagine the future as like a land where we have our own small transportation that can fly. In fact we are not even controlling it, we are the passenger. We have made huge progress throughout history, although we are not at that point yet. However, we are really close to it . Recently, Delphi company just successful test drive a self driven car from San Francisco to New York. You heard it right, this car went over 3,400 miles driver less. Yes, there are people sitting in the car to track progress but it was control all by it own. "This trip took nine day over 15 states" according to tech time. It will be a bit until this is ready to use due to it trouble with the weather condition. It was reported that it has trouble with the rain and snow. I'm really excited for this project. And hope to hear many more update from them.

kings

The Kings just finished their 2014-2015 season last Wednesday on the 15th. Once again, for 8 consecutive years, we did not reach play-off. As much as I would like to use the excuse of how much the western is more competitive then the Eastern I can not. Because The Kings finished this season with the record 29-53. One game better than last year. However, the eight spot in the East are as good as 38-44. Even if we are to be in the East, we'd still have no chance of making the play-offs. This off-season, I would like to see some adjustment. Going into this off-season is different than the other. We have stability, we have our key players for multiple years such as Demarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay. Also we also have one of the greatest coach for another two years. All we need now is to find players that compliment Cousins and Rudy.

Sandberg's Article.

Sheryl Sandberg wrote an article called " Why I want Women to Lean in" clearing that women are being treated differently in the workplace. She later suggests ways women can do to erase this sort of inequality. First, she explains that too often women get out of work just so they can prepare to have a child. This can cause many lost opportunities. She suggest that women should stays employed until it's absolutely necessary. Second, she explains that women have less desire to succeed because many people think successful women  are aggressive and not like by her peers. Third, women should know that they will have to adjust and sacrifice. She thinks a lot of time women try to get everything the way they want. this will not always work and they must accept it. These advices, Sandberg believes can change the inequality in the workplace.

the draft is near

So, The 2015 NFL draft is only around the corner. It's on Thursday April 30, 2015 at 5:00 PM. I was so excited, I requested a day off work to watch the draft. This year draft is filled with talent, especially in the wide receiver end. It may not have Odell Beckham talent like last year but it has players like Kevin White and Amari Cooper. These are the two best wide receiver in this year's draft. The 49ers is picking at number 15, with 8-8 record in 2014. This most likely means that these guy will be not be available by the time we pick. But the draft is full of surprises, who knows. However, there are still a way the 49ers can get one of the two players. By moving up the draft. I think that the Raider at number 4 will pick Amari Cooper, who's the most NFL ready wide receiver in the draft. So, that leave Kevin White. I think The 49ers could trade move to number 7 by giving up our first, second, and sixth rounder to the Chicago bears in 2016 draft. This is the best possible way and I'm cheering it to happen.

technology

A 20 minutes video called "Connected, but Alone?" by sherry Turkle describes the impact technology in today society. As I listen to her, I recalled my own experience with technology and how it impacted me. Technology claims to help people connect with each other in a easier manner. However, if use incorrectly, it can turn against you. It can distance your relationship with people and disconnect from the world. Texting can not compare to having a conversation. Face to face conversation is much more genuine and you are closer to them. You can not send emotion via texing. Texting when using too much is a harm, it hurt your communication skill. Turkle said " texting or using a device filled the void of you being alone" , once I heard this, I remembered just the other day that I instantly reach for my phone at the bus station when I was alone because I did not want to have that "Alone" feeling. This do need to change, you have to take advantage of this technology, not letting it control you.

RB Frank Gore is going to Colts

The Franchise running back for the San Francisco 49ers was testing the free agent water this off season. He got many interests from teams all around due to his impressive career stats. During his stint with the 49ers he recorded 2,442 rush with 11,073 yards plus 64 touchdown. I thought that the 49ers with for sure go after Gore but there have something else in mind. It seem that the 49ers wants to build their rookie running back Carlos Hyde and Kendall Hunter. This is a big loss. However, I believe that the Colt has made a terrible mistake. The Indianapolis Colt sign Gore to a 3 years and 12 million dollars with 8.5 guaranteed. This is a mistake because Gore is turning 32 and it's never a good idea to sign a old running back for 3 years. It's very rare to have a guy as explosive as Gore continuing to have the same productivity that he had recent years. Although, I am sad that gore is gone, this is a bad signing for Colts.

5 best options to replace crabtree?

Micheal Crabtree of the 49ers is going to be a free agent this off season. Phil G. believes that the 49ers should not pursue or resign Crabtree. He gave us 5 options that are best to replace Crabtree. Number one is Randall Cobb of the Green bay Packer. He's one the the best wide receiver out there right now but because the 49ers are not looking to spend much on this off season, it's unlikely the 49ers will spend big money on Cobb. Number two Eddie Royal of the San Diego Charger, a decent wide receiver. He's known for being inconsistent. Number three, Dorial Green Beckham, is a draft prospect, he's most likely who the 49ers will get if they decided to go for a wide receiver. Number four, Kevin White, who is believe is the best wide receiver in the draft this year. It's unlikely he will be available when the 49ers pick. Lastly, Torrey Smith from the Raven.  Also, a good wide receiver. would be a good addition to Keapernick.

it's official

I have been waiting for this fight for nearly 2 years. It's on, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao on May 2, at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This is going to be one of the best fight ever recorded in history because these two have beef against each other for so long. Mayweather who are currently undefeated with 47-0 record is going against a smaller Pacquiao with 57 wins and 5 lost and a wicked 38 KO's. I am cheering for Manny Pacquiao because Floyd has been trash talking to other boxers via social media for years. People can't really do anything about it because he has proven to be the best fighter in welterweight with the undefeated record. I think Manny will beat Floyd because Manny has much more power than Floyd, though Floyd is one heck of a defensive boxers. His footwork s so good that you can rarely hit him. Let's get it!!!!

Against meat

Jonanthan Foer wrote an article called " Against Meat" reporting his story of being a vegetarian. He starts of the story with his childhood memories with his grandmother. How she is the best chef ever live, and her obsession with food. Foer became a vegetarian off the babysitter's saying. She told him that chicken have feeling and they are hurt too. From that point he was on and off being a vegetarian because meat tasted great and he stop believing the concept. He later told us why he wanted to raise his kid as a vegetarian. Foer end this article very strong. He told us about the time he was in a war, where he starved and eat anything we come across. Though, when a man offer him a piece of meat, he refused. Because he was a vegetarian. I don't believe it was a smart idea for him not to accept that piece of meat. When you are about to starve to death, you should not hold not to any beliefs you have and do whatever in your power to survive.

They Say I Say Chapter 13

Chapter 13  in the book "They Say I Say " by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein explains the debate of social media and it's effect on student's ability to read,write, and communicate. Those who support social media explains that social media helps students to get their point across, adapting their message to best get their audience attention. Also helps students see different perspective from all the available information in the world wide web. While, other critics explains that students can come across a false and incredible sources. Since most of those who research tend to pick the first result the comes up. Also that most conversation through internet are not genuine and isn't a real conversation. I believe that social media do bring out the worst of us. Students tend to not speak and write properly in the web. This over time can develop into habit. Students will become a worse writer. Yes social media helps students to reach their peer easier but it doesn't help in term of writing, reading, and communicating.

Writing Process

When it comes to writing college papers or any papers if that matter. I usually only do a 2 part writing process, drafting and revising. When an essay is assigned, I often spend close to 2 hours writing the information that related to the topics, often called brainstorm. This process it's almost like a free write. By the end of my drafting process, more frequently than not I would have enough materiel to cut and eliminate run on sentences and others error sentences and still have a lengthy an essay. After this process, I would not touch the essay for a day or two before coming back and revise it. This helps me to be more relieve and free of stress, when I come back I would be ready to work again. This method had got me through high school with A's and B's. Though It's much different now, I must work much harder in order to receive a good grade. I now must follow the 6 steps process in order to improve my essay. These process will help me to become a better writer.
