goals for second semester

I think if I focus on completing all my homework my grade will be ok. I hope to have a C or a B most of the semester. And if I keep up with the PLN's and all the projects that should be easy.
That way I'll do well on all the tests and hopefully finish off the semester with a descent grade.

today i read a story about a sport feed called Experiencing the chill of 'Victory' referring to a movie called victory. here is the rap up of itIf you don't remember what happened in "Victory," the Nazis organized a war-time soccer game between a German squad and a team of POWs led by a potbellied Michael Caine and the stunt double used for every Michael Caine soccer scene. The great Sly Stallone plans the team's escape for halftime, then convinces the Irish goalie to break his own arm so Sly can steal his spot and lead the escape -- the single most improbable moment in sports movie history. It's not just that the goalie would say, "That's OK, I'll stay here; you guys can escape," but that he'd break his own arm to make it happen -- followed by the Allies' falling behind and eschewing the escape to play the second half (the second most improbable moment in sports movie history), rallying to "tie" the game on a goal that's disallowed, tying the game on Pele's bicycle kick, then clinching a tie in extra time after Sly catches Werner Roth's penalty kick (the third most improbable moment in sports movie history). That's when the crowd charges the field, overpowers the Nazi soldiers and allows everyone to escape. The End. sounds like a good movie. if the nazis would have actually organized a soccer game and the prisoners escaped like that it would have been one of the greatest moments in history. according to the feed, it was one of the top 10 sports movies. i can see why

toady i readhttp://http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7074668.stmand it was about a shipment from columbia carrying cocaine. the mexican navy intercepted 11.5 tons of cocaine! imagine how much that's worth. but that's not all. the navy found a second stash aboard the ship bringing the total number to 23.5 tons! the anti-drug campaign is proved to be working as Antonio Garza Jr said in a statement "further proof of President [Felipe] Calderon's commitment to cripple drug lords and bring them to justice" and the searchers aren't even done searching the ship so the number could still go up.

today I readhttp://http://www.denverpost.com/ci_7158368 which has an ironic story of two americans serving in iraq. these two, a man and a woman met at a halloween party in a base in iraq and got married! I've heard of rough marrages,but being in totally separate batallions and living under war conditions is pretty harsh. I suppose that would give you motivation and make it easier to work even when your so far apart. but always wondering if the other was alright. hoping they are not in the hospital with one arm or one leg. i don't think i could live like that. Another thing that is ironic is they both grew up in colorado! And, they got transferred to the same unit and the man is in higher rank than the woman! So he gets to tell her what to do! that makes the marriage even more wild. i guess when you think about it, if you could survive a marriage while being in different locations constantly, not knowing if the other is dead, and having to take orders from the other you know that is true love

Recently i read http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7022081.stm about a new shot that can help fight cancer. That's awesome! a new study from Birmingham university says the shot targets the EBV virus infecting a cancer cell within the body.this matters greatly because it may obviously help those with cancer. Of coarse it does not necesarily cure it but enables the immune's response to the proteins within the tumoir to cure itself. how do they think of it? they tested it on humans with the virus and found success and are still conducting tests to prove the point. Our taxes are finaly paying off. although it is only a vaccine, this may be the path to the ultimate cure for the main killer in the US! that's a pretty cool thought.
