8/1 readings and Youtube link .. BLOG POSTING
The first article which I analyzed and read was In the Basement of the Ivory Tower. I found this article to be utterly repelling. The article speaks about a teacher who works at two colleges and teaches English 101 and 102. The narrator speaks of student in his class needing to pass his class. The narrator speaks of himself failing nine out of fifteen students. He says that he waits to see whether college will send him a notification or demand that he pass more of his students. He reveals to us that nothing happens of that sort. I found this to be a very outrageous thing because those students have to pay to take those classes sometime two or three times over. This must be extremely frustrating for the students that attend the college he teaches. I would definitely transferred or found another college if he was my teacher. He states in his article that sense that the American workforce needs to be more professional at every level. He states that most jobs that never before required college now needs to have a post secondary course work.
I think that the YouTube video was very interesting I think that the topics talked about in the video would be very helpful to present day student. I think that some of these ideas are practice today in college classrooms. I believe that it should be exercise more though. I think that the more technology we have in the class room the more we are exposing to learning. If we have expose to a variety of technology it will help us in the working world because the working world is full of technology.
The second article speaks about Professor Hibbits and his ideas and theory on a focused topic. In the article professor Hibbit was said that knowledge consists in those human cognitive structures which give data their meaning and value as information. I think that this statement that he made was very plausible and concrete. I think what you remember show importance to you and that’s the depth of knowledge. Archie Zariski article states that information is just something that is factual that you remember. This means that information does not necessarily have to hold importance to you. Professor Hibbits said that media have contributed to establishment and refinements of paradigms. I think that this is a believable statement because I used the media to help me every day.
How many schools exercise the ideas talked about in the YouTube video?
How did professor Hibbits come up with these theories?
Why does the teacher try to fail so many students in his classes?

War In Iraq Poem
Bloodshed, sweat, and tears
Soilders living their lives in fear
fear of not waking up the next morning
fear of families over burial sites mourning
from night to day, day to night
lives are lost as these soilders fight

letter to the editor
Dear Editor,
I agree with the facts that were stated in the article that you wrote. I believe that this was a very good article and I think that it really helped a lot of people see the war from a different point of view. I think the fact that you stated that the United States have spent over 860 billion dollars since the terrorist attacks in September 11. I think that this statement and your article will really open up the eyes of American taxpayers. It will show them where there money is really going.
I think that the veterans that block the roads of Massachusetts in respect to the army sergeant body that was brought home showed a spark that will show the true devastation that the war is creating. You included in your article that Pope Benedict XVI urged the world to help Iraqis who have fled their country. I think that this was a very good induction in your article because it showed the concern of the Pope. The Pope wants the world to better protect the Christian located in Iraq. This is extremely important because if you are a Christian in Iraq you will possibly face execution.
In your article you stated that approximately 686 billion dollars was spent on the war in 2008. I think this was an essential piece in your article because it shows the gradually growing funding of the war in Iraq. The funding for the Iraq war is gradually increasing as the years go on. With over 40 percent of the United States weapon in Iraq, and the United States training the ISF it’s no wonder that the war cost this much. I would like to know what is your stance on the war in Iraq? I would also like to know how you feel about the money being spent in iraq?

WAR UPDATESECTION: NEWS; Pg. A14LENGTH: 315 words
A procession of veterans on motorcycles and state police in their cruisers blocked parts of two Massachusetts interstates Friday as it finally brought home the body of a New York-born Army staff sergeant who was missing for months after being seized by insurgents in Iraq. A hearse bearing the remains of 25-year-old Alex Jimenez came to a halt in front of the home of his father, Ramon "Andy" Jimenez, in Lawrence. Jimenez and three others were in a unit that was ambushed 20 miles south of Baghdad on May 12, 2007. Jimenez was born in Queens, and his mother, Maria Duran, lives there, though many members of his family were born in the Dominican Republic.
Pope Benedict XVI urged the world to help Iraqis who have fled their country and called for better protection for Christians inside Iraq during talks Friday with Iraq's prime minister, the Vatican said. The struggle against terrorism and the need for religious freedom also were central issues in the talks with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki,

The total cost of the Iraq war is approaching the Vietnam War's expense, a congressional report estimates, while spending for military operations after 9/11 has exceeded it. The new report by the Congressional Research Service estimates the United States has spent $648 billion on Iraq war operations, putting it in range with the $686 billion, in 2008 dollars, spent on the Vietnam War, the second most expensive war behind World War II. Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the U.S. has doled out almost $860 billion for military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere around the world.

Issue with RA
A issue that I am extremely concernced with is an incident that happened last weekend. Me and my roomate were blamed for an attempt to break into the RA room. During the time that this incident happened me and my roomate were in Orlando at UCF. Me and my roomate were visiting some friends that go to the University of Central Florida. Nothing was stolen from the RA room. I think that she just dislike us becuase of the room that we were in. She blame the occupants of room seven ten and our neighbor across the room. We were falsely accused and I think that we deserve and apology because you cannot say someone did something if you didn't see someone do something.
