All I remember about this video was that Leonard Kleinrock had a big part in inventing the internet. Also, that ARAP and circuit switching were apart of making the internet. Email was probably the biggest thing that got internet going because email was something that you could communicate with and that's probably what people wanted it to be.

Red Soxs into Carlos Beltran

World series winning team, the Boston Red Sox's, are now interested into one of the players that they beat in the World Series. Carlos Beltran is one of the best players in the MLB if not the best player on the Cardinals. The Red Sox's are now interested in free agent outfielder Carlos Beltran, and according to sources have made contact with the man. Beltran, who is now 36, has had contact with many other teams, and the Cardinals will not ask him back. The Red Sox's have always have had interest in Beltran but have never been able to get him. Before Carl Crawford came into the picture in 2011 the Red Sox's had Beltran at the top of the list for free agents. so don't be surprised if Carlos Beltran ends up being on the team that beat him in the World Series.

Chris Paul

Chris Paul is one of the best players in the NBA. All around he is a scorer, assister, lobber, and much more. He plays for the Los Angeles Clippers and has his first game of the 2014 season last night, and an impressive game too. Paul had 42 points, 15 assists, and 6 steals. He lead the Clippers to a 126-115 win over the Golden State Warriors, a very high scoring game it was.  Despite his incredible performance to open up the season, he still focused on his mistakes. He was the first ever recorded player to record at least 40 points, 15 assists and five steals since the NBA began recording steals 30 years ago. Paul didn't really care about what he did. He was more focused on the stat sheet which showed Paul recorded six turnovers and he said, "Really?". So you can tell Paul still wants to focus more on the turnover because it seems like he isn't really worried about the scoring or the assists because those will come during the game. Even NBA players turn the ball over 6 times a game and they are the best in the business.

World Series

The world series is all tied up again. With the Cardinals being down 1-0 going into game 2 they knew that this was a must win. The Cardinals got up 1-0 with a triple by Matt holiday and then Yadier Molina had single to hit Holiday in. So when the Cardinals went up 1-0 they knew with Michael Wacha on the mound, it might have been all they needed. In the 7th inning Wacha walked Dustin Pedroia to lead off the inning, then David Ortiz came up and things changed. With a 3-2 count Ortiz hit a outside changeup opposite field over the Green Monster for a 2 run homer to take the lead. That was big because it was the 7th inning with not many more chances to score. But in the 8th inning things changed again, the Cardinals started hitting Lackey like crazy. They ended up scoring 3 runs in the innings and won the game 4-2 to tie the series at 1-1.

Jordan Speith

Jordan Speith, is an 19 year old PGA professional. He went to college at Texas and left his sophomore year to go to the pros. He failed for qualify for the season ending tournament, and wasn't really ready for it. Not saying that he is a bad player, because listen to these stats as a rookie; nine top-10s including a win at the John Deere Classic, $3.8 million in earnings, a berth on the U.S. Presidents Cup team and now the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year. Most players at 19 are not ready for the big stage, but Speith was. Tiger didn't even try to get on the tour, and Rory and Sergio didn't have much success at 19. Spieth owns the most top-10s in his first year on tour after finishing the season tied for the tour lead in that category. No rookie has ever led in top-10s in the tour's 33 years of keeping the stat. As a 16 year old, Speith won 2 junior U.S. amateur championships. So I would say Speith is a ready, "upcoming" pro that others better watch out for.

Plagarism

1.Plagiarism is a bigger deal than you think it would be. First, if I was convicted of plagiarism I would feel guilty. Especially because its someone's work and they worked hard on it, and then I would just be copying it. Its someone's work and we need to just do our own work, not copy someone else's.

2. My parents would be extremely disappointed in me if I was caught plagiarizing. Also, they would always make sure I would do my own work because I was caught. They would want to help me with writing also.

3. No I don't think you deserve a passing grade if you pay tuition because if you don't work hard at school they why should you? Its your job to do good in school and if you don't then its your own fault.

4.Yes, because if I get caught then it could be serious consequences and I could be in serious trouble. If I did get caught then I would learn from my mistake and not make it again.

5. Plagiarism is a lot more serious then you think.

1. Is Play Endorsement?
No, I don't think play is endorsement because its just a video game and let people play what they want to play. They said that its different in Call of Duty because you can be the good guy but in GTA V your always the bad guy. In  Call of Duty, your still killing people.
2. What do you get from playing?
If people like playing this game then they enjoy it so they get enjoyment out of the game. Its not like they are killing people in real life, its a video game! Let them play what they want to play. If you enjoy killing then you have something wrong with yourself. Its the game that they are playing, yeah it has killing, etc.. but still its just the enjoyment of the video game.
3. Who else is playing in your life?
No one that I know in my life right now is playing it. If I found out that they had it, I would like to play it to see how it works, and how it shouldn't bother people. It is a game mostly for teenagers, but if older people want to play it, let them have there opinion. Everyone has an opinion.
4.Do you know when to quit?
Its a little different when your skipping out on important things in your life for GTA V. You shouldn't miss anything just because of a video game. Take time for other things in your life, and not just for a video game. Don't get caught up in the game for hours and hours and not even realize it. That's when it gets bad. Play the game because you enjoy it, but don't get to caught up in it too long.
