2010 MLB SEASON

By: Joshua KoeplinThe offseason is almost set and in March spring training kicks off.

The defending champions the New York Yankees are the highly favorites of win-ning the fall classic repeating to another championship. The Yankees made a cou-

ple of additions to their roster to make their season even more successful, with theaddition of CF (Center Fielder), Curtis Granderson and P (Pitcher), JavierVasquez. Granderson, coming off of a powerful season with 30 HRS has high ex-

pectations to the club. There are more talented teams coming to compete with thepennant. Such as division rival the Boston Red Sox.

The two time defending National League champions, the PhiladelphiaPhillies have great expectations towards the season. The Phillies made a hugechange in their rotation, trading Cliff Lee in a three way trade with the SeattleMariners and the Toronto Blue Jays. The Phillies acquired the 2003 Cy Young win-ner Roy Halladay. Although they have a strong roster they have to compete in atough division and conference.

The MLB season starts in April, but if you are interested in going to

some spring training games the locations of the baseball stadiums are

listed the following. Surprise stadium (RangersRoyals), Peoria Sports

complex (MarinersPadres), Maryvale Park (Brewers), Scottsdale Sta-

JERKIN

2007 brought us Soulja Boy, 2008 brought us Stanky Legg,

but 2009 has brought us JERKIN! The jerkin movement started

in Los Angeles then quickly spread across the United States. Jer-kin later became big after the hit song Youre a Jerk. Dance

crews mostly known are Action Figure$, U.C.L.A. Jerk Kings,

and the LOL Kid$z. Jerkin also has its own fashion; people who

usually jerk wear skinny jeans of all colors and usually flannel.

teens at hillcrest middle school. Ciana Calhoun and I took this survey during ou

lunches and then collaborated all of the data we gathered. All together we survey

a total of 100 students. Tillys had the most votes and Pacsun had the second mos

votes. Aeropostale came in dead last; which Ciana and I found very surprising b

cause a lot of students wear Aeropostale brand clothings.

out. Well it only takes 693 licks, and 2 hours. Now you know many licks it

To Write Love On Her ArmsTo Write Love On Her Arms is a non-profit organization that helps

teens who suffer from self-harm, addiction, suicide, and depression. It startedin February 2006 in Orlando, Florida and it was a written story about fivedays being spent with a friend who couldnt afford to enter a drug treatment

center. They got their name from the title of the story, which was written byJamie Tworkowski, the founder. TWLOHA has been helping people since

then and has been giving them hope and love through friends and events suchas the Vans Warped Tour and acoustic events that sponsor the organization.One of the biggest ways they have got their name out is from band

support. Bands such as UnderOath, A Skylit Drive, Paramore, The RedJumpsuit Apparatus, Plain White Ts, Panic! At The Disco, and many others.

Anberlin even let Jamie Tworkowski come on tour them so he could talkabout TWLOHA.

If you have any questions or would like to find out more you cancheck out their website at www.TWLOHA.com. You can make make dona-tions and find out more about their events and they have a lot of shirts that

you can buy to help benefit them.
