I just made my final Wikipedia post of the semester. I commented how Alex Rodriguez went on to win the American Leauge clutch hitter award and about the new acquisition of Roger Clemens. I stated that although being signed in early may, Clemens would not be projected to start until the end of the month or possibly beginning of June. Getting up to strength and throwing a few games in the minor leauges is usually a precaution when missing spring training. You can visit this site at

Wikipedia Edit-Giants Stadium
I just made my final edit for Giants Stadium. I discussed how the costs of the new stadium will cause ticket sales to increase drastically. Also, season ticket holders will have to pay a fee just in order to reclaim their tickets. Acquiring a corporate sponsor to help pay will be a major step towards offsetting these costs.

In Class Discussion- 5/14
Today in class we discussed some of the different media that was used on the Barbaro project. The project has been underway for approximately a year at this point. The main point of the blog is to build a community, where other users make comments about the specific topics. Due to the overwhelming amount of traffic on the site, a discussion forum was introduced. In order to maintain a successful forum, the origination through the use of folders is vital. These folders include general information about Barbaro, anti-slaughter issues, and several others. By creating folders, you are able to control what is written about.
Wikipedia Edit-Anabolic Steroids
I just made my final edit for Anabolic Steroids. I stated that There is not much you can do to help someone who is abusing steroids, but certain measures can be taken. The most important aspect to controlling the abuse is education concerning dangerous and harmful side effects, and symptoms of abuse. Athletes and others must understand that they can excel in sports and have a great body without steroids. They should focus on getting proper diet, rest, and good overall mental and physical health. These things are all factors in how the body is shaped and conditioned. Millions of people have excelled in sports and look great without steroids.
Wikipedia Edit-College Athletics
I just made my final edit for College Athletics. I added to the early programs subtital stating, President Theodore Roosevelt summoned college athletics leaders to two White House conferences to encourage such reforms. In early December 1905, Chancellor Henry M. MacCracken of New York University convened a meeting of 13 institutions to initiate changes in football-playing rules. At a subsequent meeting December 28 in New York City, the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (IAAUS) was founded by 62 members.
The IAAUS officially was constituted March 31, 1906, and took its present name, the NCAA, in 1910. For several years, the NCAA was a discussion group and rules-making body; but in 1921, the first NCAA national championship was held: the National Collegiate Track and Field Championships. Gradually, more rules committees were formed and more championships were held.

Last teammate Comment
I just made my final comment towards a group memebers blog. It was in reference to Google tracking the history of users. Although it's amazing that Google can track pretty much everything we do on the web, it’s kind of scary in a sense. Google will now know everything about people using the internet. However, this is a great tool for marketing research. Marketers must have been very excited when they heard about this.
Teamate comments
I just made a comment towards one of my teammates. He discussed how he uses Windows Vista as a defense against spam emails. I agree that the webmail system at the University of Delaware is extremely prone to spam email. I must get about fifty emails alone that are spam per day. I can't sign up for anything on the net using my webmail account because my inbox will be flooded. In regards to the windows vista, I've heard some good and bad things. Like you mentioned, it's very hard to navigate. However, it gets the job done.
