Protecting the most important part of the game.

With concussions being the largest issue in the NHL and NFL, it is apparent that the two leagues need to improve testing and issuing out correct tests grades.  Especially in the NFL is this an issue, where players will continue to play under the influence of medication, in order to get there time on the field.  In hockey, it is all about being able to get out for the next shift, but it is important to improve yourself in time for it.  Well, what if you didn't have to always be as concerned about the most important of your body.  With advances in helmets from companies such as Bauer, CCM, and Riddell it has be less of an issue to have to worry about going to the locker room for tests every time.  The companies have been adding layers to the there helmets by having foam pads with small plates in between the frame and foam.

How can a wiki be used a current class on your schedule?

A wiki can be used in a current class schedule to track the chapters and subjects we have covered in a class.  An example could be in History class; you will create the wiki with all of the chapters/subjects you will cover.  Then in three weeks when you are done with The French Revolution, you can put it into your class's finished column and then you can move on and repeat.  This could also be used for your review for midterms and finals.  By doing any of this, it will keep your class organized and aware of what is coming up.  My experience with wikis would be in my World History class and Web 2.0. 

What I did over the long weekend.

I barely did anything over the long weekend we had from school.  I tried to sleep, woke up and ate.  It was very unexciting and full of nothingness.  Best thing would have been watching hockey, but my favorite team lost each game they played over the weekend.  It was just very bad, and I couldn't do anything about it.  Nothing made it any better for me the day after.
