On the sunday victory against the pistons aldridge hit a game changing shot. There was 36.4 seconds left. After he shot it he kept his hand up and stared down the pistons bench.

I read about the Portland Blazers playing and winning against the Detroit Pistons be five. The reporter is talking about one of the Blazers best players right now, LaMarcus Aldridge. Aldridge scored 36 points and had a overall good game. The Blazers are finally now realizing how to actually win a game and not blow it in the fourth quarter like they did in the start of the season.
'Obituaries, Arthur D.T. Schade' Arthur Schade died when he was almost 93 years old in Tualatine, Oregon. He was born in Laramine,Wyoming. He owned a clock shop in Wyoming. He was also a war veteran.

ReplyDelete"A Life Time Of Love" I found this on the Oregonian
In this article Its like a Q & A and its asking questions like "Was it love at first sight?" These questions originate because this couple (Kal and Edna Horine from portland) has been married for 74 years and are still enjoying each other. This Q & A asks questions that both of them have to answer and when you ask a couple a question it allows both of them to answer and you get to know each other a little more. (I don't know what they wouldn't know about each other after they have been married for 74 years though)
I read "Inmate’s Death Exposes Health Care Problems in Local Jails" From *The New York Times*
ReplyDeleteThis article is about a lady named Amy Lynn Cowling that had died in the East Texas jail. She was found slumped over her bed with a Diet dr. pepper in her hand. Ms. Cowling and her family had begged the officials to give her her medication that was in her purse in the storage room at the jail so she could stay alive. The officials never did. She is the most recent inmate that has died at the Longview jail. Since 2005 9 inmates have died there because of there health conditions. Such as Diabetes, Cancer,and stomach ulcers.
I think this is unbelievable and tragic. If someone is having health issues they should help them and take care of them instead of letting them die. Yes they have done wrong but punishing them by letting them die is going way to far.

Contrary to pop culture belief, love means saying you’re sorry ... and having patience, say Portland’s Kal and Edna Horine, who have been married 74 years

SPECIAL TO THE OREGONIAN
The article I read was about a couple who have been married for 74 years. They have four sons, seven grandchildren, and seventeen grandchildren. This couple is was married on November 28th 1936. They are said to be either the longest married couple in Oregon, or at least one of very few of this amount of years spent together. When they first got together, she had no intentions of marriage, yet he was in love. Many people said that the marriage wouldn't last even 6 months, and 74 years later they are still madly in love.
This is what I want my life to be like. A man to love me and only me, a big family, and a happy marriage.

I read "Aldridge busts a move, hits a big late shot." This article was in the *Oregonian*. In this article it talks about a Blazer player named Aldridge. Late in the game he sinks a 3 pointer to make the score 96 to 93, with the Blazers in the lead. The final score of the game was 105 to 100 with the Blazers beating the Detroit. I am glad they won.
ReplyDeleteI read " Aldridge busts a move, hits a big late shot " from *The Oregonian.* Late in the 4th quarter LaMarcus Aldridge hit several key shots to get the 105-100 win over the Detroit Pistons. He scored 36 points in the game, and continues putting on his " All-Star '' performance. I believe that he deserves the All-Star title more than just about anyone in the NBA right now. But, as long as he keeps helping his team win, and putting up scores like that, the All-Star title will follow.

In the article "Picking The Players" by, Ryan White, he writes about band groups gathering and playing for the Pickathon Festival. Bands such as Fruit Bats and The Shins played this year. The festival this year is being held at Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, on August 5-7. Many singers/song writers are going to be attending it this year, even some singers from Canada are coming into town. Many bands and singers from previous years are going to be attending this year as well. I don't really have that much of an opinion on this because I don't really listen to this kind of music. I am kind of interested in going, because I'm always down for new music and festivals.

In the article, "Earnhardt back in spotlight as he nabs Daytona 500 pole," by Chris Jenkins shows how Dale Earnhardt Jr. reclaimed the spotlight for winning pole position in the Daytona 500. Dale went a hundred and eighty six mph in qualifying. He was faced with a lot of questions the week before about the ten year anniversary of his fathers death. Earnhardt just wants to focus on racing then go to his family and remember his fathers death. He won the race for his dad. Dale had it hard the last couple years but finally came out and won the race.

I read " Longtime couples are happily together while happily living apart" from " The Oregonian " The article is basically letters from people that are in a relationship however they live apart, whether its miles, they are neighbors, or they live in the same unit however have their own living space. I found this article very interesting because i find it strange that married couples would rather live apart than with each other. It also fasinates me that even though they are no living together they can still make their relationships work without falling apart.
ReplyDeleteI read "In Defense of Marriage, for All" in the *New York Times.*
ReplyDeleteThis article is about whether it is constitutional for the federal government to deny benefits to some people who are legally married to the same sex under their state’s laws. The law overturned the federal status quo, which was to recognize all legal marriages. This clear, and obvious discrimination should be considered unconstitutional. I think it's unfair to deny benefits to anyone, especially because of who they choose to love.

I read "Longtime couples are happily together while living happily apart" from *The Oregonian.* The article talks about how so many longtime couples are living in separate homes or different parts of their house. This article says that there is a lot of benefits to this type of lifestyle, such as, being able to support yourself financially, not annoying your significant other with annoying habits, being able to have your own space, and not having to deal with blending families. This article also contains quotes from people about why this type of living did or did not work for them. I think this type of living arrangement is interesting and different. I think it is cool that people have found a way to make their relationship work whatever way they can. I don't think I would ever want to live this way but I support the idea if it works and think it is unique.

ReplyDeleteI read "Wall Streets Dead End" from the *New York Times*, written by Felix Salmon. The article states that Wall Street is decreasingly representing the American economy. He shows how the dwindling amount of small public businesses in the stalk market means that when things are good on Wall Street, they are not necessarily good on Main Street. I think that Wall Street will become less meaningful to the average person if only the super rich can invest.

"Is Kitzhaber favoring DHS at K-12 schools’ expense?"
In this article, Kitzhaber purposed giving the schools $5.558 billion, which is a $225 million reduction, and giving Human Services $3.8 billion. In the 2009-11 school year legislature approved $5.782 billion, after a couple of budget reductions it dropped to $5.38 billion. According to the article, we are on track at $5.705 billion. Next terms budget is still in question though.

They fell in love and got married in 1936. They have been together since and have only gotten in one fight their entire marriage. Edna has cancer and ended up losing her wedding ring, and for this Valentines Day, Kal is going to by her a new one.

"For Some Troops, Powerful Drug Cocktails Have Deadly Results"
ReplyDeleteBy James Dao, Benedict Carey, and Dan Frosch
*The New York Times*
This article is about troops returning from Iraq, about 300,000 to be exact, that are diagnosed with P.T.S.D because of what they have seen during war. They are prescribed powerful mixes of sedatives, psychiatric drugs and narcotics. These combinations sometimes have a deadly result. Senior Airman Anthony Mena complained of back pain, Insomnia, nightmares, and anxiety a few months before he passed away. The drugs he was given only deepened the pain and according to the medical examiner, the drugs were a direct result of his death. Aside from that, taking pills for a long period of time can lead to drug dependency, suicide, and fatal accidents. The amount of prescriptions medication in the army is at its highest.
I think that instead of giving troops prescriptions by the load, the government should have therapy programs and other ways to relieve stress. Soldiers be taught how to live through what they've seen in Iraq and not given medicine to just numb it.

ReplyDeleteIn *The Oregonian,* I read "A Lifetime Of Love," about Kal Edna Horine, who have been married for 74 years. They met when Edna was 14 and Kal was 17. She never thought of marriage, but Kal knew from the moment he met her that she would be his wife. After three years of asking, Edna accepts Kal's offer of marriage. They get married at the age of 17 and 20. They say that the trick to having a long relationship is a lot of patience. I think that they are amazing and are a very cute couple.
I read an article called "Your library card becomes a passport for music fans" from *The Oregonian* . In Multnomah you can use your library card to download free music to your computer, mp3, or other device. And once you download it, there is no other fees you have to pay, the music is yours. You just need a Multnomah County Library card and a PIN, and you can download up to three songs a day, 156 songs a year. I think that is awesome! It would be a negative thing for programs like iTunes, because people would probably never use it anymore; they would just use the free library music.

On the Oregonian website, I read the article "Aldridge busts a move, hits a big late shot". The article was about the Portland Blazers-Detriot Pistons game. The game was really close, and the two teams traded the lead for 48 minutes of intense NBA basketball. But, with 34 seconds to go Lamarcus Aldridge, the blazers leading scorer, hit a tough 18 foot shot to put the blazers up by three and, thus, leading them to a victory. I think this is really interesting because the Blazers aren't usually very good, but this year they seem to be beating a lot of the better teams in the NBA.

He decided to stay close to home and go to South Carolina. He picked South Carolina because it was close to home, he had friends there, and he wanted his mom to be able to be there to watch him play. I think Clowney made a smart choice because he picked the school he felt he would be most comfortable at.

I read, "regulating student health plans" in *The New York Times*. This article tells about the a new rule that was proposed. It would give many students, under the age of nineteen, healthcare regardless of potentially expensive diseases. I think this is a great idea. It would help families that couldn't afford their own insurance. Although it would probably raise taxes, it would keep the youth healthy. Because of this proposed law, lawmakers are now thinking about proposing a law to give healthcare to eighteen to thirty-four year olds. I think this would give America so much more freedom.

In only three years they were married, most people did not think they would last more than a few moths but with The blessing of Edna's father they new that they would be able to make it through the hard times. Personally the fact that Edna was so young when they began dating is kind of gross, but it is also sweet that they were able to look past the age difference and fall in love.
