Lions hire Cunningham as defensive coordinator
John Niyo / The Detroit News

http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090121/SPORTS0101/901210424

This article talks about how Jim Schwartz became the Lions new head coach. It also goes into detail about how he was friends with other people in the league and how he would like to reach out to them for help when he needs it.

The rest of the article talks about Cunningham, and how he was born a German-American and how that had an affect on Jim Schwartz.


I really don't like the Lions that much, pretty much because of Dante Culpepper. I know that some people didn't him on the Vikings, but when he and Moss were in the Dome, they put people in the seats and touch downs on the board.

Obama Article

Obama speech 'will go down in history' By KAMALA HAYMAN - The Press | Thursday, 22 January 2009


http://www.stuff.co.nz/4825850a12.html


This article was about the new president's speech. The article talked about how he wanted to be able to find ways to rebuild peace with other countries. Another point that he made was about how we need to find a way to bring our country out of debt. While he talked about the nation's debt, he also felt that affordable healthcare and increasing the job market were also very important issues.


Overall, I thought it was a good speech. I think that he sounds like he wants to do good things for our country. I believe that he wants to give more Americans jobs and take care of our national debt.

Wolves in Danger

An article in the Star Tribune newspaper said grey wolves may be taken off the endangered species list in the western great lakes area if President Bush gets his way. The president is trying to have the states control the wolves, instead of the federal government. The Obama adminstration will look at the proposal. Environmentalists feel its a last minute move by Bush to take protection away from the wolves, and they feel the animals should still be under protection.
An article in the Star Tribune ranted and raved about a snowmobiler running over 57 ducks in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Apparently it was a single person who performed water skipping over a open ice hole on the Fond du Lac River. Investigators are trying to find the person. The Department of Natural Resources Warden Superviser called the person "a killer with no concern for life." People in the area are upset over another thrill killing of deer. Five deer were herded by snowmobilers and run over last weekend. Four were killed and one had to be put to sleep.

15 things

Fifteen things about Mike is an article about a pro skater named Mike Carroll. I dont know who he is but skateboarder magazine must think hes pretty good because he's mentioned on the front cover. Mike's first pro board featured Calvin from Bill Waters comic strip. He finds lots of food "weird" and didn't eat his first piece of sushi until he was 29 years old. Mike entered his first pro contest at age twelve and "packed" very badly, which means fell. He smashed face first into the ground. The article was so lame that it even felt it needed to mention Mike's habits with boogers.

famous skaterboarders

an article in skateboarder magazine interviewed several famous skaters and asked what there most memerable moment was. ten different boarders commented, and it was interested on what they had to say. tony hawk said that the day rodny mullen stepped on a a skateboard was the most memerable becuase he would revolutionise skateboarding forever. He created almost every trick there is and is well known around the world. bam margera, another famous skater, said that hes memerable moment was when tony hawk did the loop. I agree with nick mcClouth another skater who said he was impressed when jamie tommas skated massive rails a decade ago.
