ever present energy
energy is a word that cant be defined by any one definition. energy is however every present, cannot be created or lost, only transformed. Some people claim that spirts from the other word are present in ours and can be seen or at the very least "felt" through increased energy patches. these experiences could be results of the mind playing tricks on the body or maybe there are increased energy areas. the only problem is that these cants be proven and thus there will always be skeptics.

Student Athletes
The student athletes life is completely different from that of the normal student. With days that start when other students are just getting to bed and a rule book that is larger than most text books, there can be little comparing the two.
Today's student athletes are expected to compete not only on the playing field but also in the classroom. The National Collegiate Athletic Association has slowly raised the minimum G.P.A. and SAT scores for incoming freshmen. The same is to be said for athletes that transfer from NAIA and Junior Colleges. To be considered eligible to participate in NCAA sanctioned events a transfer student must have completed 40% of his degree requirements after their sophomore year, 60% after their junior year, and thusly, 80% after four years of of schooling.
The athletes time is also divided up among many different things. Whether it's practices, individuals, captains practice, weights at 6am, community service, class, study hall, and finally FREE TIME. After dividing your time up among these commitments during the off season you have to factor in add games to the mix. Division I baseball is allowed to schedule 56 regular season games during the course of a year. The normal schedule is having a game on Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday is considered a travel day(when you have to get to the airport to travel to conference games at around 9am), with a three game series Friday through Sunday. This schedule demands that the players miss no classes on very rare occasions to as much as 4 days of classes during a single week.
The student athlete also needs to stay somewhat sheltered from the student body. Student athletes are held to higher standards than other students. If students are caught drinking they would only get 5 hours of community service to be done on campus and be done at that. If an athlete is caught drinking their scholarship could be revoked, dismissed from the team and cause the schools athletic department to have restrictions placed upon it from the NCAA.

The failing Black Family
Today's black families are failing at an accelerated rate. Experts point out that there is a circle of events that are to blame for this. Families that are without fathers are more likely to fail at school, leading to criminal behaviors, which in turn brings about economic hardship. This cycle is the integral part of the demise of the black family. The fact is that most African American kids will grow up never having seen an actual wedding. In a controversial study done on black families show that 25% of kids are born out of wedlock. These kids who are fatherless never learn how to be "eligible for marriage". For the first time since the start of slavery black people can't say that things are going to get better.

psychic surgery
Psychic surgery is one form of faith healing that has been very popular in third world countries where health care is not readily available. The Philippines and Brazil are the two locations where this form of "medicine" originated. The so called father of this operation is Alex Orbito from the Philippines. Alex runs his fingers over the patient where their reported pain is. After discreetly squirting animal blood hidden in his palm, he pretends to pull the "tumor" out of the non-existent cut. These tumors are actually chicken livers and hearts that are also hidden away in Mr. Orbito's hand. Once the tumors are removed he pulls his hands away, wipes the blood away, and reveals an untouched, unscathed stomach. Alex Orbito's tactics are morally wrong. He gives a false sense of hope to people who are possibly on the death bed. This lack of ethics just to make some easy money is despicable and deplorable.

Enhanced Interrogation
Enhanced Interrogation is another term for torture that is used by the CIA and other government agencies to extract information from prisoners. Most of the methods approved by President Bush involve open-handed slaps to the chest and head but also can involve captives being forced to stand for extended periods of time, keeping them in cold rooms and perhaps the most controversial of them all is something called water boarding.
Other countries envoke different methods to get information from captives. The Gestapo of Nazi Germany used methods like hard beds, dark rooms, sleep deprivation, exhaustion, and hits with a stick. The lawyers of the captives in Guantanamo Bay have made claims that these behaviors are very simular to the ones carried out on their clients.
Lately these interrogation methods have met some scrutany with civilians. Just this past year over 100 professors from institutions across America wrote to the Attorney General claiming that waterboarding is infact torture and therefore a criminal felony.

and another one for 9/11
Nostradamus the king of the prophecy may have predicted the events on September 11Th. unfortunately this is not true. the passage that is in question was actually written by a college student in 1996 in an attempt to show how writing that is very general in nature can easily be interpreted any way the readers imagination wants to.
In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb''The third big war will begin when the big city is burning'- Nostradamus 1654
...on the 11 day of the 9 month that...two metal birds would crash into two tall statues...in the new city..and the world will end soon after"
"From the book of Nostradamus"
This second paragraph was taken from a website where this was posted the day after September 11th. this writing is so vague just as most of Nostradamus' writing that most people interpreted it to mean the events that transpired the day before. Whats funny about this prediction is that it was supposedly written in 1654 when he had passed away in 1566, almost 100 years after his death.

the lord god bird
the lord god bird or ivory-billed woodpecker has been baffling cryptozoologists for a long time. the bird is purported to have magical powers and thus the reason that they were hunted to "extinction". the bird has be looked for for many years after they were thought to be killed off during clear cutting acres of trees in their natural habitat of Arkansas. the most interesting thing about this bird is that there was a reported sighting of the bird in question by a reputable source. At the current time Cornell University is leading the search for the Lord God Bird.

The Dragon Warriors of ISIS
Patricia Gardner is a high priestess of the Coven "The Dragon Warriors of ISIS" and a follower on demonology. She believes that not only are there hauntings from other worldly beings, but that they are the root of the grief that is faced by their victims. Her facination began when she was only 14 years old. Pat's mother and her witnessed a fly swatter that was hanging on the wall begin to sway back and forth like a pendulum. Later, all the water faucets in her house turned on with full force and the toilet flushing continuously. This purported supernatural events didn't scare her though, no it actully intriuged her. Patricia's favorite part about being a demonologist is being able to try and find awsners to questions without awsners.

who does not like eating geneticly modified food
this hoax is about the popular fast food restaurant Kentucky Fried Chicken. Not to long ago there was a rumor going around that the reason that they changed their name to Kentucky Friend Chicken to KFC was because the meat they used could not legally be called chicken. the rumors started to fly that the "chicken" was actually genetically manipulated organisms and that these are kept alive by inserting tubes that pump blood and nutrients through the "animal". these chickens have no beaks, feathers, or legs and help cut costs of the company. this departure from real chicken is what caused the federal government to require the fast food restaurant to change it's name so that the word chicken is not listed anywhere.

those damn meteroites
An article from Foxnews.com covered the collision of a "meteorite" with the Peruvian landscape. The locals noted that there was a large hole in the ground filled with boiling liquid. This site was also said to be giving off a noxious gas that was causing the locals to become sick. some of the symptoms were nausea, head aches, and a sore throat. The article goes on to make connections of popular science fiction book "Andromeda Strain" which is about a similar type of event where an asteroid crashes into Earth and brings with it a deadly disease.
Local officials have made reports that as many as 600 locals have come down with this mysterious disease. after some doctors examined the "crash site" they decided that the area was not contaminated by some foreign virus but rather by some hydrothermal activity that was previously dormant under the Earth's crust. This was later conformed by geologists that found arsenic in the ground that probably contaminated the drinking water and gave off the noxious fumes.
This article then goes into detail about how people are affected by mass hysteria and why it happens. when people are scared by something, in this case a meteor, they make up stories to comprehend them and then others rationalize and follow suit. this is what happened in Peru and why so many people were infected with the "mysterious disease".

they are all out to get us
Who is responsable for the shooting of John Lennon? The government would like us to believe that it was Mark David Chapman but conspiricy theroist aren't willing to accept this. These people are not arguing the fact that Chapman pulled the trigger but that he was brainwashed and was just a pawn in someone elses plans. A British lawyer made the connection from Chapman's detached awsners to be a tip-off that he was brain washed.
This whole article from www.carpenoctem.tv goes on and and pokes holes in the official police report. The first one they attack is that Mark killed John Lennon for the sole purpose of gaining his 15 minutes of fame. This notion is challenged by the detective that spent a lot of time with Mark after the shooting. The detective, Arthur O'Conner, has stated that MDC had no desire to talk to the media following the shooting and looked as if he could have been programmed.
Another theroy is that Lennon's assination was planned and carried out by the soon to be Ronald Regan. This possibility gained so much support that an actul investigation was conducted. Regan and his administration were out to squelch any radicalist that stand up against the establishment. The U. S. government has tried numerous ways to quiet John Lennon starting with denying him permant U.S. citizenship. The reported FBI file on John Lennon is approx. 300 plus pages and states that they had constant survailance on him for seven years.
The author of this web page admits that "phone tapping and ordering an assignation are two different things" but it is easy to see that the United States government did not think that Lennon should be allowed free will.

alternative medicine or giant hoax!!!
Is using Hypnotherapy to treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome a valid treatment. A few articles posted online believe that it is. Some researchers are using Gut-directed Hypnotherapy to help sufferers with IBS. Paitients to go hypnotherapists' offices and get treatment for their disability, and after about 8 to 12 sessions their symptoms lessen. This alternative to traditional medicine is some what contriversial but i believe that if people are some how feeling relief from the GDH then why question it. People are not getting hurt by participating in these sessions and the treamemnts appear to be working for the majority of the sufferes.
IBS sufferers are always looking for some way to alleviate their discomfort since traditional medicines do not always work. This alternative medicine gives these people some hope that their situation might be rectified.
One of the problems with this treatment is that is has not been extensivly tested by many doctors. In some of the trials run only a small number of subjects were tested and their were no controls. In other trials controls were used but not on a significant scale.

long vs. short
Through out the past century and a half men enrolled in college have played football for their respective schools. These football players have had fierce battles on the fields but one important aspect has been left out, the coaches. The coaches of college football teams have one of the most difficult jobs of any coach at any level. The difficulty of this job is what amazes me that Joe Paterno of the Pennsylvania State University Nittany Lions has been there so long. Paterno, or JoePa as the fans call him, is the best college football coach to be apart of the game. My upbringing might be one aspect why I believe this but there are numerous others.
I was born in south-central Pennsylvania which left me a small range of options for who my favorite college would be. That decision was almost made for me before I was born by my father. My dad is a PSU alumnus along with a huge Nittany Lions Fan. Growing up I can remember watching college football early Saturday afternoon. The game on the television was always Penn State and you rooted for them no matter what the score was. Luckily I was born during an era in PSU football when they were dominating over other teams. However, during on of these games I noticed a man wearing a white dress shirt and blue tie with kaki pants rolled up over black cleats. When I asked my dad who that man was, he replied that’s the greatest coach to ever walk a sideline. He was of course talking about JoePa. Since I was young when I asked my father that and young kids often take their parents words as absolute truths I believed him.
After a little while I began to ask questions about Paterno. When my dad explained to me all of the great things that Joe had brought about it was easy to see that he is the greatest coach to walk a sideline. So from my birth I have been conditioned to love Penn State and in turn think that Joe Paterno is the greatest college football coach. This has all been instilled upon me through my family.
My current interest also allows me to come to my conclusion that Joe Paterno is the greatest collegiate coach in history. My Saturdays consist of my friends and me sitting in front of the television switching between various college football games. We will watch any game from the early east coast games that start at 11am all the way to the 10 pm games between the rainbow warriors. Watching this many games has given me my own set of criteria as to what makes a great football coach.
Coaches need to be able to deal with people from different backgrounds. Some coaches put an emphasis on schoolwork while others harp sports and don’t care about graduation rates. Other coaches will allow a player to participate in team activities when they have not followed team procedures. And finally, coaches only have four, maybe five with some athletes, years to educate these young men in areas of not only football but life. Joe Paterno is not only concerned with the football part of college; he is a life coach, an opportunity giver, and a teacher. All of these have lead to my assumption that he is the greatest coach ever. These assumptions were strengthened by my own personal experiences along with some help from my peers.
Personal experiences have also helped form my beliefs in Paterno. As an athlete myself, I look at what I would want in a coach. The first and second hand information that I have revived on Joe all indicate that he is in fact a great coach. On a previous trip to Penn State University to attend a football camp given by the PSU football staff I got to see first hand the effects that Paterno has on the school. His determination of have great coaches on the sideline with him as well as when giving lessons at camps to hopeful high school athletes.
Society is the last influence in my life that has made be believe that Joe Paterno is the greatest collegiate coach. Many other college football fans also recognize Joe Paterno as the premier head coach. He currently sits in second place for most career wins in Division 1 football, only behind Bobby Bowden. JoePa was the first one to break Paul “Bear” Bryant’s record for career wins, and Bryant was considered the best college football coach ever.
Under Paterno’s tutelage numerous players have won academic honors along with many post season accolades. However, some of his players don’t stop playing after college and get drafted by professional teams or picked up as free agents. The list of Penn State players in the National Football League is shorter than those at other institutions but, NFL scouts and coaches give Penn State players an added value. The high esteem that NFL personnel place on Penn State players come from past experiences and know that they are getting a quality player both physically and mentally. They believe that Joe is a great coach and has taught the players how to act on the field as well as off. These awards and respect show how great a coach Joe is and why he is respected as the greatest to walk a sideline.
College football players have been the main focus, but one important aspect has been left out, the coaches. Coaching college football is the hardest job a coach has, which is why Joe Paterno’s tenure impresses me so much. Paterno is one of the best coaches in any sport.

After getting information about Joe’s accomplishments, I was determined that he is the greatest coach to walk a sideline. Through my family I have been conditioned to love Penn State football and in turn, Joe Paterno.
My current interests in college football also help me gauge coaching talent. My friends and I watch various college football games on television every Saturday. It does not matter what conference the teams are associated with, we are watching. Watching this many games has given me my own set of criteria as to what makes a great football coach.
Coaches need to be able to deal with people from different backgrounds. Some coaches only worry about sports while others take pride molding successful young men. These bad coaches allow their players to play when rules have been broken. Coaches have a few years to educate their athletes in areas of football and life. Joe Paterno is one of the best at teaching how to conduct one’s self and how to be a great football player. These factors lead me to my conclusion that Joe is the greatest coach ever. My conclusion was formed by personal experiences and through peers.
As an athlete, I look for what I want in a coach. Meeting Paterno and hearing stories about him all indicate that he is a great coach. Attending a football camp on Penn State’s campus showed me first hand the effect that Paterno has on the school.

Society has influenced me to believe that Joe Paterno is the greatest coach. Many other fans also recognize Joe Paterno as the premier head coach. Joe was the all time leader in wins until he was passed by Bobby Bowden, Flordia State’s coach. Joe took this record from Paul Bryant, one of the best coaches ever.
Paterno’s players are less numerous than other schools, but NFL scouts and coaches give Penn State players an added value. The added value on Penn State players comes from past experiences. These players are better both physically and mentally. NFL coaches believe that Joe is a great coach and has taught the players how to act on and off the field.

Holocaust or Not???
Deniers of the Holocaust have made many claims as to why to deny it. They make claims of facts and try other of emotion. In an article from the Anti-Defamation League various deniers have posted their reasons for not believing in the Holocaust. One of the posters on the website, Mark Weber, pointed out there there were no orders from Hitler himself to kill the Jews, no autopsy's done on gassed victims, and finally no bones of dead Jews to prove they were killed there. Another writer posted that so called "eye witnesses" are telling lies just to get rich of German and United States tax payers.
Another reason disbelievers are angry against the Jews is because of the money they are receiving for reparations. They claim that since you are still alive you have not suffered, thus not entitled to any such reparations. A different poster makes claims that why should someone who was not even born during the Holocaust have to pay such taxes, especially when Israel didn't become a nation until 1948. that is another example they use to prove that the Zionists are just trying to get as much money from anybody they can.

Aliens, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!
I have recently come across a website that allows people with out of this world encounters to share their stories to the world. This website allows anyone who has had an encounter with a UFO to blog about it and welcomes feedback to the publisher. http://www.bright.net/~phobia/main.htm
The author of the second story, submitted by an anonymous 47 year old manager, tells of an encounter with a space ship that apparently hovered over his car, then flew over to a field of sheep. When the ship was hovering over the sheep a light emanating from said ship and illuminated the sheep. At this time the observant took his eyes off the ship to check the road again. When the driver turning back towards the ship, it had vanished.
This post is one of the more believable stories on the website. The blogger claims to have seen a spaceship hover over his vehicle and then proceed to fly over a flock of sheep while pointing a searchlight on them. these are all some what believable claims but would require much more credible information for the general public to believe them as truths.

things i dont agree with
i do not understand why Penn State football is continuously left off of the lists of perennial powerhouse schools. Just because they had a streatch of a few seasons where they did not have stellar years does not mean they are a bad team. When PSU won the national titles in 1986 and subsequently in 1992 not to mention in 1996 when we were snubbed by the voters for the national title. the thing that really gets me mad is that teams like Michigan, Ohio State, and Notre Dame have has same rough spots but are still talked about as football powerhouses. the main disagreement i have is that PSU beats these other schools on a consistant basis and no one turns their head.
