Too Fat To Graduate

Posted in Ginsberg Classwork on November 30, 2009 by enigma79

Obesity increases a person's risk of heart disease, type II diabetes, stroke, some cancers and other ailments.

 At Lincoln University(a historically black college in Oxford, Pennsylvania) students who have a BMI(body mass index) of 30 or above cannot graduate. If the students wish to graduate they have to take a fitness course for 3 hours per week to lose weight. Tiana Lawson who is a student at Lincoln is quite upset and confused about the whole fitness course. She says she thinks its unfair that only obese people have to take this course and that others who are fit done have to. In The Lincolnian Tiana wrote “I came here to get an education which, as a three-time honor student, is something I have been doing quite well, despite the fact that I have a slightly high Body Mass Index.” But the chairman of the health and physical education department James DeBoy says that the requirement is no big deal it’s just like a regular course.

Hasselhoff Horrible Weekend

Posted in Ginsberg Classwork on November 30, 2009 by enigma79

David Hasselhoff was hospitalized for two days for an unknown ailment.

Over the weekend its fair to say David Hasselhoff had a horrible weekend. He ended up in the hospital and his ex-wife Pamela Bach went to jail. Hasselhoff and his attorney refused to say why he was in the hospital but if you ask me I would say he got way to drunk and got alcohol poisoning. And Pamela when to jail for a DUI when a California Highway Patrol Officer pulled her over on Saturday night.

Titans win 20-17

Posted in Ginsberg Classwork on November 30, 2009 by enigma79

Last night Titans played against the Cardinals and they won 20-17. It was a great and very intense game last night, 4th quarter 2:37 left on the clock and down 17-13. McNair took the ball up 99 yards and converted three 4th downs on the drive. And then scoring a touch down 10 yards away from the touchdown with 4 or 6 seconds left on the clock. This was a true miracle for the Titans but a nightmare for the Cardinals. If you think about it this was sorta like the Superbowl Titans Vs Rams. a few seconds on the clock no timeout and right at the goal line. except this time we had enough time to win the game. I was excited to see the Titans win their 5th straight game.
