2014 Olympic Hockey Podcast

Hockey Podcast

I have decided that my friend Tom and I will be talking about hockey in our up and coming podcast.

We will be focusing on who is the favorite in Olympic hockey and why. Such as team Canada is the favorite because they have the most talent and so on and so forth. Then other person states who they believe is the favorite to win and why.

For the interviewing we will ask what people think of the Olympic Hockey teams.

After we will change into talking about the NHL and who are people's favorites to win the Stanley Cup at the midpoint during the season. We will also explain why they are the favorites. Such as the Bruins have the best shot at the Cup because they are playing the most cohesive hockey before the break therefore they will play it after the break too.

Then we will ask a few fans of hockey about who they think will win, whether they agree or disagree with what Duffy and I have said or if they have their own completely different opinion.

Podcast Critique

For my podcast critique I chose to listen to Hockey Today from ESPN and then selected Bruins Podcast because I like listening to the latest hockey news thats going on and then listen to the news on my favorite hockey team the Boston Bruins.

Some of these podcasts are short like just letting you know about the previous games and some are long and talk about injury and who is in the lead for the season.

They are both very good podcasts and I plan to keep listening to them in the future.

                                               Springfield Education Rulebook Changes

(Springfield, VT) Just this past Monday night, the Springfield Board met to vote on a new rule book change to the school that hasn't been revised in over 20 years.

Superintendent Max Schmidt reported that the enrollment for the meeting was 17 more than expected. He also said that negotiations with the Maintenance Workers Union would be meeting next week.
Schmidt presented the board with a revision in the school manual saying it is time for a change considering the last revision hadn't taken place since 20 years ago.

Some of these changes would allow students to drive their vehicles, carry their cell phones, and wear their hair in any length. Other changes would be that teachers could not use physical punishment on students, and teachers must report all violations of school policy to the building principal. But not everyone was happy with this idea of a revision. Board member Janet bliss said, "These rules were good enough for my generation; they're good enough for the students now."

The board later voted 5-2 in favor of the new manual. Student Body President Ryan Rodriguez said he welcomed the school board to the 21st century.

BLOG CRITIQUE

For my Blog Critique I decided to do it on the blog site Deadspin. Deadspin is a Sports News blog that keeps you up to date with all the latest news and what everyone is talking about. Now even though the site is well updated and kept up, it is however not very well organized. Material is just placed everywhere on the page and hard to locate a specific article. If the blog owner was to at least organize this site, it would make this site a lot better and easier to use..
