Hackers Target WikiLeaks Foes

Supporters of Wikileaks called on hackers to take down internet companies that are refusing to do business with them. Paypal, Amazon, and everyDNS.net (which Wikileak had an account with) suspended Wikileaks accounts due to violation of terms. Wikileaks says "we all believe information should be free, and the internet should be free".

I believe that Wikileaks has all the right in the world to publish the documents that they do. I think that everybody has the right to say whatever they want and also on the internet.

Example 1-

                  #1 - Exxon Mobil Corporation is responsible for the ad. They are advertising motor oil.

                  #2- the number "1", many of the worlds best vehicles start with mobil 1, 4/5 auto manufacturers chose mobil one.

Example 2-

                  #2- "The dominant species", "on top of the atv food chain". quads going over big rocks.

Example 3-

                   #1- Progressive Casualty Ins. Co. is responsible for the ad. They are advertising roadside assistance.
                   #2- " She is on call 24/7 if they should ever need help", the family is having fun.

Bowling for Columbine Essay

Bowling for Columbine

 Michael Moore’s Bowling for Columbine shows that it is way too easy to get guns and ammunition in the United States, resulting in more gun deaths than any other country in the world. Every year in the United States there are around 11,000 deaths from guns. In Canada there are only about 165 deaths per year from guns. American citizens claim that they have guns for safety, but many people misuse them.

The first example is when Michael Moore went to the bank; he could get a free gun just by making an account there. He just had to sign a paper, make sure you don’t have criminal record, and he was eligible to get a free gun. The U.S. government should be cracking down on how picky they are on weapon possession. This shows how guns and ammunition are too easy to get a hold of in the United States.

 The second example is the Columbine shooting. The two shooters got their ammunition from the K-Mart from down the street. Stores like K-Mart shouldn’t let kids that young waltz into a super market and buy ammo. They should have their history checked and they should have a legal age limit to buy gun ammunition. Two kids that were shot at Columbine went to K-Mart and bought out all of their ammunition. They went to the president of K-Mart and demanded them to stop selling ammunition at their outlets. This shows that ammunition is too easy to get a hold of in the United States.

My last example is the kid who took his uncles hand gun from his house, brought it to school, and shot a 6 year old girl at his school. Parents should not have guns were little kids can get them. They should be locked up in a high place and unloaded. This shows that guns are too easy to get a hold of in the United States.

In conclusion, Michael Moore shows that it is definitely too easy to get guns and ammunition and something needs to be done about it.

Hague Panthers Football Team Looking to Stay Perfect

The Hague Panther football team is looking to stay perfect as they take on the PACI (Prince Albert College Institute) today at 4:00 in Hague. The Hague Panthers are 2-0 so far this season and are looking to improve their record to 3-0. The team started practicing on August 26^th and look pretty solid on both sides of the ball. The Hague Panthers are lead by Chris Sawatzky and Dalton Janzen, the fourth year veterans.  The coaches of the team are Kelly Lungull (offensive coordinator), and Brett Berry (defensive coordinator). The PACI Golden Bears don’t seem like they will be a contender this year as they have finished in the basement in the last couple years, and are coming of a big lose, losing to Rosthern 73-13.

The Panthers played an exhibition game against the Wakaw Warriors and defeated them 36-26. There were lots of new faces on the field as many of the rookies got playing time. Travis Fehr led the team to victory scoring 4 out of 5 touchdowns. He caught 3 touchdown passes, and returned a punt for a touchdown. The special teams also looked impressive recovering a fumble on a kickoff. The kicker also looked good making 3/5 converts. It was bitter cold and raining, but the players battled through the elements and took the win. 

In week 2 the panthers took on the underrated Big River Rebels. The game was a nail bitter as both teams exchange touchdowns, but it was the Panthers came on top with a 25-23 victory. The Hague offense looked shaky at best, with staring running back Travis Fehr not going 100% with a head injury, some of the younger players had to step up. “He ran into a goalpost about a week ago,” said the coach, “We don’t have a lot of depth right now.” Some of the positives coming from the game were the play of the defence.

Bowling for Columbine thingy

Michael Moore's thesis in Bowling for Columbine is that guns are way too easy to get a hold of and are not being used in the proper way. Teenagers have easy access to firearms and ammo anywhere they go. Almost everyone these days have weapons and it isn't safe.

He supports this in many different ways. He questions why there are so many killings in America and almost none in other countries.

• One example is that the guy had a .44 Magnum under his pillow.
• To get a gun, all you had to do was open a bank account and you got one for free.
• Michael Moore used Archival footage to present the two people at Columbine School that shot a bunch of people with M-16's. They bought their ammo just across the street at K-Mart.
• The guy that was interviewed at the arcade was #2 on the suspect list just because he had a book on how to make bombs, and he knew how to make bombs.

Eskimos General Manager Controversy

      Danny Maciocia was fired  as the general manager of the Edmonton Eskimos after a heart breaking 1-4 start to the team’s 2010 CFL season.

     “We will begin a North American search for a great football manager, but there’s no given time on when we will find another general manager,” Eskimos team president and CEO Rick LeLacheur said Saturday. “I’m going to find the best all around football person we humanly can find.”

     Maciocia was fired  Saturday morning, despite the fact that the team avoided Edmonton’s first 0-5 season start since 1965 with a well played 28-25 victory over the B.C. Lions on Friday evening.

“I was thinking about this decision for a long time,” said LeLacheur. “The nail biting decision was made last Monday”.

     Danny Maciocia took over as the  GM and director of football operations in 2008 after being head coach for four years and leading the team to win the Grey Cup in 2005.

     The team president had given a solid warning after the disappointing 47-21 loss the Eskimos faced in Winnipeg against the stupid Blue Bombers in Week 4 of the 2010 CFL season. LeLacheur said the Eskimos poor performance was unacceptable and that he is able to fire whoever and whenever.

     The Eskimos made a move to get someone in as the general manager for their team by Hiring former Saskatchewan Roughrider General Manager, Eric Tillman. Tillman was fired as the Riders general manager after being accused for assaulting a 16 year old. The Eskimos say that this may be the solution to the rest of their season, and perhaps many years to come.
