APRQ Ch. 11- Due before 8:30AM on Tuesday, February 4, 2014

All hail Caesar.. or, wait, what about that Jesus character?...

Although they hated him, if the Roman government could do it all over again, maybe they'd ask Jesus to come a little sooner, and they'd embrace Christianity as a way to unify their empire. As it stands now, they did too little too late to promote unity, and suffered the consequences... take a look at the videos below and take the quiz.

Article of the Week #4: "Ethicists Criticize Treatment of Teen, Texas Patient"

Hey kids,

This week's article of the week was put together by Mr. Ostini of PVHS. Yes, the PVHS across town, who's teachers we played soccer against this past Friday night...

I'll be posting some help resources this week (hopefully tonight, but maybe tomorrow morning too). I've learned some stuff after that John Locke Lesson (the one where everyone was in the room and I almost fell and smashed my dome on the table, remember?), so be looking for this post to be updated.

Here's the link. Be sure to read the introduction to the article, though. Mr. Ostini is a much better writer than I, but he would never say that... mostly because, unlike zombies, and the some of the people in this week's article, I have feelings.

Everyone:

It's the most feared day of the year for some people. The day after the Super Bowl. After the analysis of Manning's legacy in the wake of yesterday's #beastmodebeatdown by the Seahawks, and some praise for them as well, there won't be much football to talk about for some time. THANK GOODNESS! Now American can get back to its National Pastime, baseball. Within two weeks, every team's pitchers and catchers will be in Spring Training, getting ready for the the grind that is the MLB season.

I can't wait!
