TU tuesday 10/26
http://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/Coaches-ranking-motivator-for-Danes-2218125.php
I chose this article for my TU TUESDAY because I really like learning about other basketballs teams and see if I can relate to any other there issues. In my article there was many key words and phrases that impacted the who moral of the article.
1)One word that was important to the whole article was the word: prevail. Which means to prove more powerful than opposing forces. The word prevail effected the story because it really made the sentence interesting to read. The sentence was "But, to be honest with you, once the ball goes up, the best team is going to prevail." I think this was a great way to close the article because it shows that the basketball team at UALBANY still believes in themselves and thats the moral of the article.
2)Another great phrase was when the head coach said "There are a lot of teams that have good players returning." This doesnt really need to be defined because it just means that every team in the conference has a lot of good players coming back and the UALBANY might have some competion. This phrase had an impact on this article because it just shows that the team at UALBANY still does believe in themselves but they can't get too confident or else that might effect how the overall team plays. The impact on this article was to show that a lot of teams have great returning players but UALBANY should believe in themselves and try to have some fun this year.
3) The third word/ phrase is "Brown said that Puk and Devlin are both mending nicely from nagging injuries from a year ago. Puk had an issue with an Achilles' tendon, and Devlin underwent back surgery in the offseason." The thing that most people don't understand is how huge an injury can and will impact a player. I injury can ruin a players career forever. The effect this phrase has on this whole message is that injuries can take awhile to heal and that Puk and Devlin might not be able to start, this can effect the whole UALBANY team for quiet sometime and it might be hard for them to recover. The impact that injuries have on a team is you can lose some of your best players. Your health can't be taken for granited and you should always be thankful you have the opportunity to play basketball.
4) The forth word/phrase is the word: win. Win means to gain victory. The word win effects the whole article because it's talking about how in order to succeed in this game your team has to put the top points on the score board. If you lost you feel defeated and I certainly know thats the feeling you hate the most. The word win impacts the whole article because to win is something you really like to enjoy and because the UALBANY team doesn't have that many supporters if feels good to be the "underdog" team and to win you games just goes to show everybody that you can and will succeed.
5) The final word/phrase is "The kids are going to be pissed," Brown said when he found out the poll's results. "When they see that they are picked fourth, they are going to think they are better than that." This is the most important sentence throughout the whole article because it basically says the the Great Danes-aren't great anymore. This phrase effects the whole article because when the Great Danes were picked forth they felt discouraged and felt like giving up, but the peoples critisim just pushed UALBANY harder than ever. This sentenced impacted the article the greatest because it overall explains how the Great Danes' season usually starts. UALBANY's article taught me that if you try your hardest you can always succeed no matter who tells you, you can't.

Childrens Book
I remember reading this book with my mom and dad when I was younger. This book was one of my favorites to read because I got so excited when the little bird actually found it's mother. I can remember being little and when my mom and I sat next to eachother on her bed and started to read this book. I knew the book from cover to cover memorized -thats how much I liked it. Still to this day whenever I read this book I get a happy feeling inside because I grew up with this book. Of course this is one of me and my brother's favorite books. I think it even still might make my mom and dad happy to read this great book.

I=Indiana University Northwest
http://www.iun.edu/
Reasons I would go to this school:
1. The week of Ocotber 17th is Criminal Justice week and thats what I want to major
2. They have a Law major and I really want to be a Lawyer
3. They have an internship program and I think that would be something I'd be interested in
4. They have a Women's basketball team. I love to play basketball and I could possibly get a scholarship.
5. They have a big population of students which I really like. I think meeting new people could be so much fun & I would really enjoy it
Reasons I wouldn't want to go to this school:
1. Its in Indiana and I live in Albany, NY. The traveling time is way too much.
2. $38,060 a year. Plus traveling back and forth by plane for holidays would really add up at the end of each year. It would be a lot of money.
3. Since they have such a wide vairety of students, making the basketball team seems almost impossible, which makes me really nervous.

Vintage Photo
Wright Brothers Unpowered Test Flight
This picture is worth a thousand words to me because it shows you how our society has grown today. If you look at this picture from awhile ago it shows when the Wright brothers were just starting to create the airplane and now in today's world we couldn't live without an airplane. I also think this picture is worth a thousand words because I think it symbolizes how hard working people were in that society in that time period and now in our communities we use their creations so much. So we wouldn't kow what an airplane was if it was not for the Wright brothers.

The Body by Stephen King
"The most important things are the hardest things to say."
Words can hurt, does the truth hurt?
How can I tell you, without hurting you?
I want to protect you,
I want to help you.
Will you react to what I expect?
Its important, its hard, it needs to be said.
Your my friend,
you need me & I need you.
Its hard for me to admit, It needs to be said face to face.

TU Tuesday BLOG
http://blog.timesunion.com/bethany/happy-to-be-here/653/
In the article I read for TU Tuesday, is about a women by the name of Bethany Parks. Bethany is a survivor of Breast Cancer and talks about "pink ribbon month." Bethany goes on to explain how she doesn't like how emphasized this particular cancer is. Saying "I don’t love the commercialism, the ads, the hype, the play on people’s sympathy, the daily reminder about breast cancer – as if the scars aren’t enough" meaning this month is very dear to her heart but the constant reminder that she had cancer is painful. As much as she doesn't like October she enjoys how everyone comes together and cherish their moments with eachother saying "I love the girlfriends being together, the families honoring loved ones who are no longer around." Bethany also says she loves the spirit that everyone brings. Bethany is two years cancer free and loves living her life to the fullest.

Opinion Prompt 7 - Everyone should have access to healthcare services.
I agree with this because suppose your really poor and all of the sudden get cancer, then what do you do? Are you just suppose to let it kill you? Are you suppose to suffer? I think that everyone should have access to healthcare services because we all need help and if you can't afford it then I think it should be free to you. I understand doctors need to get paid and it costs a lot of money but chances are doctors are pretty well off and can help either someone dying or an elder person to get better for free. In society today everyone always just thinks of money and theres more to life then just that. You can't buy happiness, but someone out there needs help and you can certainly make them happy by helping them. I think as a country if you need healthcare services you should be able to have them.
