TCA vs. JCM
Tonight is night of nights, TCA (5-0) faces off against JCM (3-2) at Rothrock Stadium for an epic showdown. JCM is the most athletic team the Lions have faced this year, and JCM has at least 4 effective ball carriers. TCA welcomes the return of Lucas Rogers, a very effective linebacker. He will be a key point in stopping JCM's run game tonight. Kyle Akin wil of course put on a show in some way as he runs the Trinity offense flawlessly.

Plagiarism Q & A
How would you respond if you were convicted of plairgarism?
I would accept my fate, and take the punishment. I would also be quite embarrassed because it would taint my reputation in the eyes of others.
How would your parents respond?
Obviously, they would be upset with my lack of correct judgement, but they would also take away many things i hold dear. They would also not be as willing to trust me as they would have before.
Do you feel as if you deserve a passing grade because your parents pay tuition?
No, they are trying to give me the best education they can, and I should always do my best even if it is a difficult task. It is not the teachers fault that I would plairgarize a document, but it is solely mine.
Does this story affect your view of plairgarism?
No.
What do you take away from this narrative?
Nothing that I already knew before hand. When things get posted on the internet, everyone can see who you are and what you've done. This in turn results in certain bosses not hiring you and a tainted reputation.

Ethics of GTA V: How Ironic
Is Play Endorsement?
I am indifferent with what goes on in the game. It is not affecting you if you consciously make the decision to file this away as fake. Yes, it may be immoral in many ways but, are you affecting others around you? I say No. I do endorse this game in the context that I have stated before hand. To take this out of context and put this on a pedostal in your life is wrong.
What do you get from playing?
When i play the game I do not like the all of the killing, stealing, and destroying, but I do it to unlock other items. These help me with my quests into the wilderness of Los Santos. I prefer hunting game in the mountains, or base jumping from the top of Mount Chiliad. There are tranquil things in this game, but they are disguised in chaos.
Who else in your life is playing this game?
Nearly every male in my grade has this game, or they are on the verge of purchasing it. I mainly have it for the social experience of multiplayer, and to mess around with other people. It may be the most free and social game there is to play in terms of fun.
Do you know when to quit?
Yes i do. When i have somewhere to go or someone to meet, I choose that over this game. Especially when my parent need me to do something. I may be upset, but I do comply with the rules my parents have set before me. But when I have a chunk of time with nothing to do, I will play this game.
Should Christians who are indwelt with the Lord Jesus Christ have moral issues with killing people in a virtual world?
No, if you make a conscious decision to keep whats in the game, in the game; it is acceptable in regulated amounts.

iPhone 5S
Apple has announced their new iPhone, the iPhone 5S. It is not entirely new because certain features have been retained such as, the 4 inch display and most of the cosmetics. But, it has an all new processor, A7, a new fingerprint scanner, new colors, ios 7 of course, etc. Apple has really pulled out all of the stops for this one. The new processor is twice as fast as the previous by using 64-bit architecture, and this will speed up every aspect of the device. The fingerprint scanner will be used to unlock the phone as well as identification to make iTunes/App store purchases. The new colors include space grey ( with black trim), silver ( with white trim), gold (with white trim).

Nasa Retires Kepler
Today in the news Nasa reported they are retiring Kepler. A massive planet hunting telescope used to help aid in the search of possible life bearing planets. This telescope has been damaged and cannot be maneuvered well because of its damaged wheels. Sadly this will merit less funding to the project. This will slow the hunt for possible planets with life.
RGIII Makes Start After Knee Reconstuction
Monday night RGIII will make his season debut, coming off of reconstuctive knee surgery, against the reinvented Philadelphia Eagles. He will obviously not be running the ball nearly as much as last year, and he will have to slide instead of taking it to the house. Although his arm will still pack the same lethal punch as it did last year. The Redskins running game will have step up with Alfred Morris running the ball as hard as ever. The Redskins offensive coordinator can not be as creative as he was last year because of RGIII decreased ability to extend and even create plays out of nothing. I look forward to watching this game Monday night.
