...Fighting Fighting is a part of the game of hockey, but should fighting be a part of high school hockey? In professional hockey, it is rare to see a game without a scrum, melee or fight that will break out and in those games the offenders are given penalties and the game continues. High schools usually have a no-tolerance policy when it comes to fighting whether that is in regular school or in sports. This fight is no different when it comes to the no-tolerance policy set by the schools but where the problem is that the referees took it upon themselves just to cancel the whole game and punish all parties even when all did not participate. I believe that the school district did not do the right thing when it punished the whole team. The school board should have looked at precedents of fighting that has in other sports. When a fight occurred in another sport, did the district suspend the team and the season for one person or multiple members of the team? This should set any policies in place that would be known to all teams Also the district needs to look at all incidents and parties involved to see what lead to the brawl in the first place. While fighting has no place in high school sports, suspending the entire team for the remainder of the season was too harsh of a punishment. In the state of Oklahoma, the governing body of high school sports, the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association states in their rule book that if an official catches a player fighting then...

Or maybe a five hundred to one thousand dollar a month cut to each player is the answer; they are generating large amounts of income for someone. This sounds like a job to me. For decades the following conference: Southeastern Conference, Pac 10, Big Ten, Atlantic coast, Big East, and Big 12, have been big TV deals for ESPN, CBS, NBC, and Fox sports networks. These networks provide millions of dollar in revenue to the schools each year, to broadcast there game. On top of the TV networks, many of the conferences have their own TV networks. The conference provides the cable company with exclusive gaming, that customer pay for per event. This fills the pockets of the coaches and the conference, leaves little incentives for the players and their families.

...was one cent I don’t think people would really care that much about the charge but in the long run it would add up. Spamming would definitely still happen if the fee was one cents. There might be a small decrease in spamming but nothing extreme. 33) I don’t think a college or university should have the right to suspend students who brag about breaking its rules on their Facebook or Myspace pages. I think it all depends on what the student or students did. Those social networks are for the public to use and they do have the right to write almost anything they want. I think it depends on the rule they are breaking. 38) I do think the company is at fault because they should have some type of security which monitor what an employee receive through their email. There should be a firewall that block spams like pornographic. Things like that shouldn’t get into the workplace. 41) The age which a parent or guardian should provide a child with a cell phone is 13 or 14 years old or whenever they reach high school which ever one occur first.

...During my time at the University of Maryland I plan on studying Kinesiology. Kinesiology is the scientific study of human or non-human body movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological, biomechanical, and psychological mechanisms of movement. I aspire to be part of a sports team’s medical staff in the future. This is the only thing I see myself doing in the future. I love sports and I am also interested in human anatomy. There is nothing else I am passionate about besides sports. I would prefer to work with an NCAA team. I also plan on minoring in Sports Management. I often think about the worldwide debate, should college athletes be paid? People argue that they are paid through free education, food and a place to stay. Others argue that they should be paid because they...

...Booo! You're a women you can’t play tennis in the championship in the men's division. Billie Jean King said with determination women’s should have rights to play sports in any division no matter what their gender is and make the same money as the men’s do. The crowd goes quiet, King walks to the tennis court, and faces off a man, she serves the ball, Game Over! Says the referee the winner is Billie Jean King! The crowd goes wild with confusion now everyone started thinking about “If women can really play sports and make the same or more money than men do.” Billie Jean King was an important person in sports and women society, she changed how people looked at women's in sports and daily life, but mostly sports. She was determined to let women...

...Understanding K to 12 Republic Act No. 10533, also known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, first discussed in October 5, 2010, was signed into law in May 15, 2013 and took effect June 8 last year. The K to 12 program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education – six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School and two years of Senior High School – to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment and entrepreneurship.

...Classroom in Nicaragua Nicaragua is a secular state. Roman Catholicism is the majority religion, but there is also many who practice Protestant denominations. Healthcare in Nicaragua has gradually been improving, but many of the people still suffer from malaria, unsanitary conditions, and from poor diets. The average life expectancy for the people of Nicaragua is about 74 years old. Although the life expectancy is approximately one year more in Nicaragua than it is in Honduras, it is one year lower than Costa Rica. It is estimated that only about 5% of women of child bearing age uses any birth control devices. Baseball is a really big thing in Nicaragua. It is the country’s official sport. They have a professional league, but it’s not only the professionals who enjoy this sport. Men and boys in different villages will get together any kind of equipment they can find. Whenever they cannot find a ball, they often result to using an old, hard grapefruit or even a rock wrapped in a sock. At least five Nicaraguans who may have started by playing with rolled up socks later played for the major leagues in the United States. Figure 7. Kayaking Tourists In Nicaragua (With Me in...

...Chicago (CNN) -- The Chicago Teachers Union and the city's school board reached a tentative agreement Friday in their dispute over new contract terms that have closed public schools for 350,000 students. Despite the possible deal, union president Karen Lewis cautioned that the strike, in its fifth day Friday, is not yet over. Union officials will meet between now and Sunday to draft specific language on a "framework for an agreement." They will present the document to a special committee of union representatives, at which time a majority vote will be taken on whether to suspend the strike. “Our delegates were not interested in blindly signing off on something they have not seen," Lewis said. However, Lewis was optimistic that the deal would be finalized. “We think it's a framework that will get us to an agreement, but we are not quite there," she said, adding she is "hoping and praying" students will be back in the classroom Monday. Chicago School Board President David Vitale was similarly positive about moving forward. "We have in place frameworks around all of the major issues that should allow us to conclude this process and to conclude it in time for our kids to be back in school on Monday morning," he said. Lewis declined at a news conference Friday afternoon to discuss details of the agreement. A source close to the negotiations said some of the terms include: keeping the current length of school year and school day; giving principals the freedom to hire their own teachers;...

...The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education. Six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School (SHS) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners. In 2011, the Department of Education started to implement the new K-12 educational system, which also included a new curriculum for all schools nationwide. The K-12 program has a so-called "phased implementation", which started in school year 2011-2012. According to the DepEd Sec. Armin Luistro said that there is no stopping the implementation of the K to 12 Program, particularly Senior High School (SHS) Program which will be implemented nationwide starting school year 2016-2017. The President lauded the DepEd and its partners for the continued implementation of the K to 12 Program. The Republic Act 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 also known as the “K to 12 Law” which was signed by Aquino in May 2013. The summit was attended by teachers, school heads, students, parents, local government units (LGUs), and representatives from the private sector with other stakeholders. Department of Education maintained that it is not giving President Benigno Aquino III wrong information on the government’s readiness to implement the K to 12 program, contrary to claims made by a senator. In a statement Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said that “The K to 12 program is important for the country’s...

...Which Side Growing up, I struggled to define what culture truly meant to me because of the two culturally different backgrounds my father and mother grew up in. When raising my sister and I, both put different emphasis on traditions, morals, education, and generally every aspect one thinks of when the word “culture” comes to mind. How they got married is puzzling to me, but I guess these differences were what made them interested in one another. Whether I decided to follow my dad’s western American culture or mom’s Chinese culture, I elected to take a cultural relative approach in deciding; meaning, to best understand both cultures, I had to suspend my pre-existing thoughts and biases I had on both cultures. By stepping back and thinking...

...INTRODUCTION The Malaysia national football team is the national team of Malaysia and is controlled by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM). It has never qualified for the World Cup finals, although the team did qualify to play in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. However, Malaysia did not take part after heeding a United States-led boycott of the Games due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The most significant successes of the team has come in the regional AFC Suzuki Cup, which Malaysia won in 2010 for the first time in history. They beat Indonesia 4–2 on aggregate in the final to capture the country's first major international football title. Malaysia had many top players since the creation of the Federation of Malaya, such as Tan Sri Datuk Abdul Ghani Minhat, who was remembered for his lethal skills as a striker and known throughout the land as ‘The King of Football’. Then came the likes of the legendary Mokhtar Dahari and James Wong, which led Malaysia into their golden age during the 1970s until the 1980s. In 1962, Malaysia recorded a 15–1 victory over the Philippines, which is currently the record for the highest win for the national team. In the current generation, Mohd Safee Mohd Sali and Norshahrul Idlan Talaha are considered by many Malaysians as the best strikers of this generation. In the FIFA World Rankings, Malaysia's highest standing was in the first release of the figures, in August 1993, at 75th. Currently, Malaysia is ranked in the 163rd position....

...Occupational Safety and Health Case Study Draft Introduction Concussions have casted a dark shadow over sports throughout the last decade. They are the most common head and brain injuries suffered by athletes. A concussion is “a type of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull” ("Concussion - WebMD: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention"). The major problem regarding concussions is that they are not visible to the human eye. Concussions occur all the way from Pop Warner leagues as a child to the professional leagues. My friend has played football his whole life. Unfortunately, he has been plagued by concussions ever since he started to play the sport. He is a prime example of an ordinary kid who plays a sport he loves, but has altered his future forever. Commissioners are actively trying to reduce the number of head injuries that occur while playing. However, the main problem regarding head injuries in sports is that players tend to rush back to their respective sports, without proper testing and treatment. This results in athletes risking their playing careers, a life filled with long-term head complications, and eventually putting their lives in danger. As an injured athlete, there comes a point where you have to ask yourself, is rushing back to the game really worth a lifetime filled with head injuries and complications? So what do team doctors need...
