Avs' Forsberg retires, again, after two games

I do not know what to think about this story. Apparently, Forsberg played in only two NHL games and then decided that he has had enough with the game. I can kind of see where he is coming from but if you are having severe pain in your foot (like he had) why return back? your only going to aggravate it even more. I think that there was no shame in retiring honestly because he had a good career as an NHL player. He was considered to be one of the best two way players when he was playing. Next season, Forsberg is going to have his number retired which is good. Forsberg helped the Colorado Avalanche win Stanley Cups in 1996 and 2001 but the foot problem that caused him to retire was bothering him since the 2003 playoffs. Forsberg said that he wanted to be remembered as person who gave it his al everytime that he stepped on the ice. Good career Forsberg. Next stop, Hall of fame!

Cell phones in schools a bad idea?

I personally feel that cell phones in school is a good idea. People say that cell phones can do a lot of negative things but honestly I disagree. Now I am speaking from a students point of view so you know I'm already going to disagree ith this matter. They say it is going to lower students grades which I disagree with. Also, what if there is an emergency at school where nobody is around and you need help, what do you do? It's just things like that that make cell phones a necessity in school. Another reason why a cell phone is a good idea in school is because for example, I am in a web 2.0 class and my teacher wants to have class somewhere else. He would send a twitter alert straight to my phone and I would know not to go to the normal classroom for todays class. Cell phones can be a good resource of information as well. That is why I feel that cell phones staying in school is a good idea and we shouldn't ban cell phones in school.

Packers beat the Steelers in Superbowl 45 31-25

Last night, I had watched the whole Super Bowl and I thought that it was a great game. It was a well fought out battle on Pittsburgh's end but they could not get through the Packers tough Defense. I really wanted to see the Packers win it because they've had a good season and I feel that they deserved it. It's nice to see another team be in the spotlight and not have a team like Pittsburgh that has been there before recently. Great job packers! Hope you guys can be good Superbowl contenders.

Heres a detailed summary from ESPN

I Pads May Replace Books In Georgia Schools.

I thought that this was an informative article to read and it is something that our school is trying to do by next year as well. I think it is a good idea because it will save money on textbooks and will save space instead of carrying all of those heavy text books around so it is a win win situation for everybody. Instead of spending $40 million dollars a year on textbooks, why not try something new and go with the I Pads, it will save schools money overtime.
