.... “It is baseball in its simplest form-- just ball, bats, gloves, and lifelong dreams. The parks are generally small, the players, hardworking young men whom local fans are likely to run into the next day at the mall or maybe the corner bar. A family of four can see a game, eat dinner--maybe even pick up a souvenir or two--without having to consider a second mortgage. No lockouts, no holdouts, no five-dollar beers, and the umpire is the only one who can call a strike. “Just the national pastime, played the game it is,” says one editor of The Minor League Baseball Book. There are currently 156 teams that are part of the National Association of Professional Base ....

.... things behind just as long as they don't carry them. The principal does not realize how much of a struggle walking a mile with a heavy backpack in you back really is. They should allow us to have our lockers back. There is always a positive side to it. If students had lockers, teachers would not have to worry about students bringing the wrong folder to class, or even forgetting it. The students would have as many supplies needed in order to be successful in class. This would make life easier for many students, instead of caring all of our folders and books we could just carry the ones that we need the most. The schools GPA would raise a bit. If we had lockers, it woul ....

.... that was not understood and unknown. Though many of the guidelines and characteristics of love are wise, some may not apply to modern society. The writing serves as a pamphlet that depicts some of the guidelines of love as the philosophers of Plato's time saw them. The intervention of the God's in the orations of the philosophers can be interpreted to mean the different aspects of love and their effects on people. The text goes into many characteristics about the god or gods that were love , yet for the purpose of this essay, it would seem relevant to stick with the guidelines and ideals that were presented in the speeches given by the men. It seemed as though in each ....

.... position. Unity was then docked and in a series of three space walks, it was connected to Zayra. Mission control centers in the United States will monitor the systems over the next five months to ensure all is working according to plan. These are the first of forty-five launchings, aimed to be completed in the year 2004, at the cost of forty billion dollars in American money. Once fully assembled will consist of more than one-hundred different sections with a mass of 455,865 kilograms or 456 tons. It will measure 108.6 meters by 79.9 meters, which is equivalent in size to an American football field, including the end zones! When completed (ISS) will be able to carry a crew ....

.... Overnight, Princess Diana changed from a young mum who liked to shop or listen to pop songs on her Walkman, to a mature young woman who had created a role for herself. Diana opened Britain's first purpose-built ward for AIDS sufferers. She had taken an enormous risk with a deadly disease, which has shocked many people, she didn't wear any protective clothing. At that time the average Britain knew very little about AIDS. They condemned it as "that gay disease" which only affected "homosexuals and drug addicts," two groups which received very little sympathy from the British, many people believed the victims were reaping the harvest they themselves had sown. Some believed it ....

.... use, and violence. Children are not being taught at home the destruction that these things cause. Researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and business leaders are the ones addressing this lack of a full range of development in today’s youth. They feel that is as important to effective schooling as reading, math, science, or social studies. The youth will become active members of family, school community, and society as a whole. This development of character will also help them to more willingly take part in their education. Several things should be taken into consideration when we think about teaching . First off, we as educators must first understand what are ....

.... faster then the clock on the ground. The results confirmed the predictions made in Einstein's theories of relativity. This test seems so amazing and if you think about it more, if we are ever able to travel at the speed of light, hundreds of human years on earth may not mean as much to the travelers who are going the speed of light. This would make travel in space easier for them to reach places that are further away. I also think that space is the next place we as humans have to explore. That we have explored everything that is of great importance here on earth and that the universe around us, can give us a better understanding of what is around us. The problem that we face ....

.... changing. The sport of ice came from the games played on makeshift ice skates in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages, similar to field , it involves hitting an object with sticks between two goalposts. Probably the first ice players were North American Indians who used field tools that were curved at the lower end. The French word for the similarly shaped shepherd's crook, hoquet, was attached by French explorers who watched the Indians' ball-and-stick games. Although the original game called for nine men on each side, the number of team players involved could vary from one community to another. Soon a committee met in Montreal to establish regulations for seven-man t ....
