Story #2
At a Glance:
Who: Hillsboro High School Boys Soccer.
What: Finally lose a game this season.
When:October 20, 2009
Where: Hillsboro, OR
Why: The Hilhi boys soccer team finally loses a game ending an almost perfect season to none other than their cross town rival.
Record: 11-2
Hillsboro High School boys soccer team finally loses a game 2-1 ending an almost perfect season.
After having an almost perfect season the Spartans of Hillsboro High School finally lost a game. This year the Boys soccer team was planning for a perfect season hoping for another state title. That was until last Tuesday when Hillsboro played the game of the season.
The Hilhi boys have been waiting for this game all season. "I'm so ready!" stated senior player Roberto Carmolinga, "this is the game I've been waiting for". It was a game against their cross town rival Glencoe who not only have shared the title of state champion once in the past 4 years.
Going into this game Hilhi has been ranked number one while Glencoe has been ranked at third.
"It was a really intense game" said onlooker Kayla Renz. "You could tell both teams had a lot of passion, none of them wanted to give up and it was heart breaking to see Hilhi lose."
The game started with Glencoe controlling the ball. Hillsboro seemed a bit slow and out of sync and Glencoe did take advantage of that. In the first half Glencoe scored leading 1-0. Finally in the second half was when hillsboro picked up the pace and scored. But it wasn't enough to hold off Glencoe who won 2-1. "We played bad the first half and never were able to get fully back into the game" Carmolinga added.
Even though the Spartans did have their first loss they are still at the top of the state rankings according to Oregon live polls. They hope to overcome the loss and do well in the playoffs coming up in the next few weeks. Losing for Hillsboro is not usually heard of. As a team they still stand high atop their conference. With playoffs right around the corner they will being entering as either ranked number one or number two in the Northwest Oregon Conference. That is when winning and losing will really count for this team who are not willing to be beat.
Next Game: Tuesday Nov. 10 against the number two seed of the Inter-mountain league

Alisa Miller
The world audience is getting a lesser and lesser amount of real world news as times change.
Alisa Miller may not be known to all people, but she is one that should be known. Miler is the CEO and President of Public Radio International. In her latest focus of global news programming Miller brings up many thoughts to the public in a past speech.
In February 2008, Miller held a speech for the TED audience in Monterrey, Calif. She asked "how does the news shape the way we see the world?" In recent years the new coverage of events have decreased the coverage of worldly news and had an increase in the coverage of celebrity gossip and scandals. Miller provided the numbers of the death of Anna Nicole Smith vs. the IPCC report (Smith receiving ten-times the amount).
Why is that? Covering celebrity and popular news is is said to be cheaper. The US makes up 79 percent of the worlds news. Miller wonders and questions why the world news is just not being seen.
These days college graduates and those of lesser education are not being able to see and learn about the world as those who did 20 years ago.
" the real question is this: is distorted world view what we want for Americans in our increasingly connected world i know we can do better and can we afford not to" States Miller.

"These days you must watch your back," States Lee "living dead" LaFever of the commoncraftshow.com. His video about "How to survive a zombie" shows people on this day and age how to really truly survive a zombie attack. Now that Halloween is just around the corner there is a lot that is needed to be know about zombies. LaFever gives 3 simple rules of how to survive: 1. identify 2. plan 3. KILL!
Identify. how does one identify a zombie? according to the video it states that a zombie can be anyone, a friend, family member, neighbor,etc. But you really have to look for certain characteristics. Zombies all have unnatural mouths, dark eyes, hanging arms, limp legs, and pale skin. Knowing this a person can identify who really is a zombie. But there is only one place to hide! wonder where that might be? at your local Costco of course!
Costco is the best place to hide because a person has all the needed supplies. Around a body of water is also a suggestion due to the fact that zombies cannot swim. They are very fast but in cold areas their quickness is slowed by the cold temperature.
But don't underestimate zombies. Lefever state that if you get bitten by a zombie there is not hope, and if your Friend or family gets bitten you must kill them. "The idea is: kill the zombie, kill the brain". That is the only way to keep yourself alive.

From playing sports to making it a career.
Nut Graf: Small town boy Justin Fulps is persuing a sports wrting career by taking classes at Linn Benton Community College.
Justin Fulps is a regular college Journalism student. As a kid growing up in Reedsport, a small town in Oregon, Justin played sports all his life. " Sports is what I always did growing up, I played it all through high school and could have in college". Fulps was considering playing football for Eastern Oregon University but turned that down to focus more on education, not to mention his lack of wanting to be in a small town. That is what landed him here in Corvallis. Fulps is dual enrolled at LBCC and OSU as an english major and of course his focus is in sports writing. "I want to someday write for ESPN the magazine" he exclaimed. With OSU not having any journalsm classes it brings him to LBCC. Justin has high hopes and dreams for himself and seems to have the drive to succeed. It wouldnt be a surprise if in later years Justins articles and stories will be in sports magazines all across the country.

LB sports: to go or not to go?
At A Glance
Who: LBCC students
What: reasons for not attending LB sporting events
Reasons: OSU, lack of knowing, no relation to athlete.
When: this year at LBCC
Change? will there be a change in fan attendance?
Why do students at Linn Benton not attend LBCC sports? It’s a question that I think most people would ask, along with many athletes. Last year I attended OSU full time, but this year thought I’d try the Degree Partnership Program. So in my first term taking class at LB I wonder one thing: Why doesn’t anyone attend LB sports? I know people may ask why I think no one goes, but get this, last year I was one of the maybe 5 people at attendance at a LB baseball game ( I was there in support if a friend on the opposing team). So I ask why? Erika Woosley, a sophomore student, sad this “I don’t go to LB sports because I can go to the OSU games. Why would I pass up being at a big college game? The whole atmosphere is intense!” Most students who are enrolled at LB can get tickets to OSU sporting events a measly 10 miles away. OSU is a Division-I school in probably one of the hardest divisions in college football, The Pac-10. LB doesn’t seem to compare one bit. Molly Zook, a junior at OSU stated, “I’m so used to going to OSU sports, I don’t think I would go to an LB sporting event, it just wouldn’t be the same”. Zook later went on to say, “I don’t have anything against LB sports and I wish them all good luck this season”. So is that it? Just because students at LB can go to OSU event doesn’t mean they can’t go to a LBCC athletic event. So what next? I began asking students what would make them go to a LB sporting event. “If I knew more of the people on the teams I feel like I would go in support of them”, Expressed Hailee Smith, a student dual enrolled. “Because come on who wouldn’t want to support their friends?” Woosley suggested “maybe if they advertised them more, I never hear of anything going on sports wise at LB”. So I say this. LB athletes, let yourself be known. Make friends, because then they will come support you, tell your classes when your next match or game is, do something to let people know about your team. And LB students, take a chance, go and support your fellow classmates even if it’s just for a few minutes. You never know you may start a trend and going to LBCC sporting events will become the “thing to do”.
