NFL’s Hopeful Astonishing Training Feat
Nick Schrank has wanted to be in the NFL his whole life. Throughout high school he strived for his dream and was a very good devoted player. Schrank played middle linebacker George Mason and was doing well until an ACL injury. This injury made him lose his position and possibly a shot at the NFL. Now a Junior no school really wanted him so he went to Radford University with his wife and played some club ball there. Schrank works out all the time and to me I believe he can make it into the NFL. Especially after seeing his incredible ability to jump and land on target and his amazing balance skills. I was watching this video on youtube were Nick Schrank jumped three feet then landed on a ball and kept his balance for several seconds. This to me blew my mind. First off three feet is a very good vertical, but the fact that his balance is good enough to land on a ball and remain balanced blew my mind. With those atheletic abilities Id say he might have a chance to pursue his dream. All NFL linebackers have an impressive vertical, but I would bet the most of them cant hit there target perfectly coming down and remain balanced. This video shows he is an athlete. Schrank devotes his time to working out, running a t-shirt company to fund all his training and staying up to date on his website for NFL recruiters to look at.

iPhone vs. Droid
IPhone vs. Droid
When you look at the youth of today they are almost always texting, facebooking, or just playing on their cell phones. Cell phones are advancing and people today always want the newest best smart phone. For a while now IPhones have taken over, it seems like absolutely everybody has one. With all the available applications, easy access to the internet, and just the popularity they are a growing item. There are other smartphones on the market, but the IPhone has always been dominate, until now… or that’s at least what some people believe. The Motorola Droid is supposedly the “iPhone killer” or at least that’s what they are saying. After extensive research I can see where the Droid is going to hurt the IPhone’s business, it has many great features, but from what I can tell the iPhone is still the best smartphone on the market.
Apple’s iPhone has been dominating the cell phone industry for over four years now. The newest iPhone, iPhone 4, is at competition with the Motorola Droid. The iPhone is still dominating. Apple’s iPhone sports amazing features. It is considered to have to best screen display out of any phone, a five megapixel camera with an LED flash, front facing video camera (for video calls and video capture), Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth. These are only a few of the specifications of the iPhone 4. There are many things about the iPhone that even its own users don’t know.
The iPhone 4 has a lot of hidden features. It boasts a noise cancellation technology, which improves sound quality by blocking out the sounds around you, it has an amazing interface of iOS 4 (which is the software installed), and lastly it’s an Apple product which has such a great protection system that no virus to this day has breached. That fact alone, to me, is enough to just go with the iPhone, but I go on. Apple’s iPhone allows you access to the Apple Application store which has over 300,000 apps compared to the Droid’s 100,000 apps. A group of people ran an experiment in San Diego, California to compare the two phones. In seven categories: cost of ownership, connection speed, still and video image capture, display and resolution, operating system, and multitask and media playback. The iPhone 4 won nearly every category. The voice quality was better than the Droid, but not by much. The iPhone smoked the Droid in downloading speeds with its speeds reaching 1958 kbps and the Droid’s top speed only reaching 1130 kbps, which is still fast, but not iPhone fast. Once again the cost of ownership also gives the iPhone the upper edge. On the lower end data plan you would save $360 over a two year plan by having the iPhone. With the highest data plan options you will save $120 over a two year period. So not only is the iPhone better, but it cost less!

America's Eating Habits
America’s Eating Habits
America is full of fast food restaurants, unhealthy food choices, and increasing amount of obese citizens. Something needs to be done soon. Obesity increases your risk of heart disease by sixty-five percent. If you have heart disease then it increases your children’s chances of heart disease by almost twenty percent. Obeses American’s not only have an increase risk of heart disease but also diabetes, strokes, and certain forms of cancer. America needs to become a healthier nation for our own sake. We are basically slowing killing ourselves making our nation weaker. In a recent medical journal it showed that America is fatter than any other nation. In 1980 the average males body mass index was 4.8 percent, today it is nearly 8 percent! I am aware the convience of fast food and how cheap and good it tastes but we got to start looking out for our own bodies. Many people believe that McDonalds should be forced to be healthier or should only be able to have so many stores, but the fact of the matter is that we live in America and if McDonalds wants 1,000 stores on Rangeline they can, but that doesn’t mean you have to eat there. The state of Missouri is considered the third fattest state in American. This to me does not make me proud to be born and raised in Missouri. Missouri per capita spends 623 dollars on fast food, buys over 61 gallons of soft drinks, and over 121 pounds of sweets. That to me is ridiculous. But wait Missouri also has the 11th lowest rate of adults that eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. 30 percent of residents in Missouri have a body mass index of over 30 percents. The only two states that are “fatter” than us are Alabama and Mississippi. Alabama spends 649 dollars per capita on fast food, they buy 77 gallons of soft drinks and 117 pounds of sweets once again ridiculous. Leading the pack is Mississippi they spends over 588 dollars on fast food, and they buy over 82 gallons of soft drinks and over 113 pounds if sweets. I understand that not all obesity is caused from unhealthy eating, but the majority is. American has got to change and the change needs to come soon.

Car Wreck
Car Wreck
As all of you know we got a lot of snow this past week and the roads have been a bit slick. Anyways, I was driving to work, cause my boss said he still needed me, when I started sliding and couldn’t stop. I went straight into the ditch and even though I have a four wheel drive car I was completely stuck. I couldn’t even be pulled out by a friend. So finally after two days of not having a car and not being able to work I had to call a tow truck to get me out, which means I had to pay more money! Then, just to make the situation worse my truck had a huge dent across the front of my car, which again means more money. So now I have my truck only to find out that it is totaled! Which means not only money, but a lot more money. So now I missed out on work, had to pay a tow truck, and lastly my truck is totaled. The worst thing of all is dealing with the insurance company, all they try to do is screw you over. This past week has not been the best snow days, to me at least. I’m a college student and just cause my boss wanted me to come to work I now have to be without a car until I find a new one and I have to come up with the money for a new car. I hate the snow and I hate the insurance company!!!!!
