What Happened to OAC?

Ten years ago i would not be planning for prom, or graduation, and now i have to make one of the biggest decisions of my life. Since Ontario took away grade 13 (OAC), young graduates have been composed to find out what their plans for the future are. I have seen plenty of people come out of grade 12 with a decision to go to college even though they don't want to and know they are not ready. I believe there should still be a OAC even though i dislike school, because i would rather have one more year experience before heading off to college. We are still paying the same amout of taxes, and getting less education. The government says we can take a upgrade course ata college if you don't 100% know what you want to do. The catch, you pay for the course from your own pocket, so much for tax paid education.

Should There Be A Dress-Code In The NBA?

Players like Allan Iverson and Carmello Anthony disagree with commissioner David Stern's new rule that NBA players must be in suit and tie on gamedays. The reason for this change was that the NBA felt the league was turning into somewhat of a 'gangster league,' like the NFL of late. Stern and other NBA representitives didn't like thier players to be wearing jerseys and other 'thug-like' clothes. I like the dress-code in the NBA because it shows that they want the league and there players to look respectible.

Final Four

The conference finals are set for this NHL season. In the west, the Detroit Red Wings take on the Anahiem Ducks, and in the east the Ottawa Senators have to deal with the number one seed in the NHL the Buffalo Sabres. We are already 3 games in, in the best of seven series. Ottawa has taken a 3 game lead in the east and are trying to book their ticket to the final tonight at home in Ottawa. Meanwhile the Red Wings came away with a huge 5 nothing win last night against the Ducks, in Anahiem. If Detroit continues to play the way they are the Ducks are in for a series. I think Ottawa is going to put Buffao to sleep tonight, and are going to be well rested for the Stanley Cup finals. As for the west, I think if Detroit's defense and goaltending led by the Dominator (Donimik Hasek who is now 42 years old) can keep the strong offense of the Ducks controlled they have enough of there own offensive power to win the series. My picks are Ottawa in 4 and Detroit in 6, What are yours?

how is this possible?

Recently our soccer team played at LCVI. In the first half the ref was missing alot of calls and looked like he was intoxicated. Our team was getting really frustrated with all the calls going the other teams way. One incident the ball rolled out of bounds on the touch line so i put up my hand and told the ref he responded with, "I'm 65 years old, i can't see everything." I believe if this statement is right, he shouldnt be reffing or even have his referee licinse. I found out later the Scottish ref was also legally blind and couldnt even see well enough to get his drivers license. Who knows mabey with a ref with two good eyes would have called the game semi right and we would have had a chance.

The Quest For Lord Stanley

The post season has started for the NHL meaning every team from here on in has a chance. Teams like Detroit, Buffalo, and Ottawa have been seen as favorites but this year the race is going to be as close as ever. I picked San Jose to beat Buffalo in the final, they have a good mix of young talent, speed, and toughness. Led by stars including Thorton, Marleau, Cheechoo, Guerin, and Hannan the Sharks have as good of chance as anyone with there stellar netminder Evgini Nabokov. The round of 16 series include (WEST:Red Wings vs. Flames, Predators vs. Sharks, Stars vs. Canucks, Ducks vs. Wild, EAST: Senators vs. Penguins, Sabres vs. Islanders, Thrashers vs. Rangers, and Lightning vs. Devils) Who did you pick to bring the Cup home?
