Casey Williams is a class of 2013 junior here at Sacramento high school and I chose her as the person to interview for varsity girls basketball because she is a varsity player. She is a powerful guard who loves to make a quick spin move down the court. She loves to listen to The Glamorous Life by the Jaka before the game and her traditions are fixing her bun so its perfect and swallowing her gum. She is number 10, and she chose that number because when she was younger she loved to watch Mike Bibby who was also number 10. Her inspiration is LeBron James because he is a great hardworking player who has accomplished many goals. She first realized that she loved and had the talent for basketball in the third grade. It is her first year here as a transfer from Inderkum High School. I wanted to know her experiences so far at Sacramento High and if this school's basketball program has helped her succeed in any way; mentally, physically and/or emotionally. Here are her responses to my question. Casey Williams has been playing basketball at Sac high for about 6 months because she is a transfer from Inderkum High School. Casey enjoys playing basketball at Sac High because it makes her work hard and she is in a positive and inspiring environment. Casey believes that Sac high provides a very good education and has helped her on and off the court to be a better person and focus on the impotent things such as; school, family and basketball. Casey's motives as a Sac high player is to take the opportunities Sac High offers and use them to the fullest. Sac High makes Casey feel complete as a person because Without Sac High she wouldn't be the person she is today. Before she came to Sac High, Her freshmen and sophomore year, she had some bad experiences but Sac Highs school and basketball program has given her the opportunity to change and she says she has. Sac high Has helped her conquer her dreams so far as a basketball player. She has gotten letters from many colleges including Santa Clara, UNLV etc. Casey says that she would still like to achieve a full ride scholarship to college and dunk by her senior year :). Before coming to Sac High Casey's biggest weakness was downing herself. She has currently been working on overcoming this weakness and the staff of coaches here are helping her with it. If Casey could give a freshmen a word of advise as a new comer into Sac High varsity basketball she would say "just because you are a freshmen doesn't mean that you cannot be a leader and be a pig part of the team". "You have to have a good mental game to play for coach Massari and she will help you achieve your goals if you work hard". Casey says that there is not much you can change about sac high for school and basketball but if she had to choose she would make the jerseys black and purple.

10 Facts About Today
1. Will Syria listen to anyone as crisis grows?
(CNN) -- Syria has faced a chorus of criticism over its eight-month crackdown on opposition protesters that has left, according to sources reporting to the U.N., at least 3,500 people dead. The regime is showing no indication it will soften its position, so will President Bashar al-Assad be open to any outside influence?
2. East-West split threatens nuclear unity on Iran
The U.S. and its Western allies face an unpalatable choice over Iran at a key U.N. atomic agency meeting Thursday. They can defy Russia and China with a demand that the Islamic Republic start answering questions on its alleged secret nuclear arms program or face renewed referral to the U.N. Security Council. Or they can settle for a milder rebuke of Tehran that leaves the big powers formally speaking with one voice but leaves the world's hands tied in investigating the suspicions about Iran.
3. Italy goes "from bunga bunga to banca banca"
In seven tumultuous days Italy has gone, as one cartoonist put it, "from Bunga Bunga to Banca Banca". The first refers to the name that former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi bestowed on the wild parties he allegedly held with bevies of young starlets and prostitutes at his villas.
4. NBA players file antitrust lawsuits against league
NBA players kept offering economic concessions, and it was never enough to satisfy owners. So with no labor deal and no place else to go, players decided to take their fight to the courtroom. The locked-out players, including Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant, filed class-action antitrust lawsuits against the league on Tuesday in at least two states, saying David Stern's ultimatums left them no other choice.

5. Inside Occupy Wall Street’s (Kinda) Secret Media HQ
The revolution may never be televised, but if Occupy activists in a semi-secret media war room in New York’s Bowery district have their way, it will be livestreamed.
Police seizures at occupations, as at the flagship camp in New York City on Tuesday, not to mention rain, cold and theft, are horrible for expensive media gear, as Occupy Wall Street found after setting up an ad hoc media operation in Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park in September.

Apple
Many word have been used to describe Steve jobs , the creator of Apple, while he was alive. The adjectives used use to describe Steve Jobs were words such as him being one of most visionary. charismatic and powerful men in the world. Steve jobs was not only a part of Apple but he was also a part of revolutionizing many things as technology for phone industry, music industry, and had a knack for computers etc. The differences between Steve jobs of apple and bill gates of Microsoft word the two most successful people in the world of personal computing. Steve jobs was driven by people and what makes them mad while Bill Gates was driven my many equations economics and numbers. As you can see Gates was more on the nerdy side while Jobs was more of a lifestyle hippie type of person. Jobs wanted to make peoples lifestyle easier which is why he decided to create devices according to peoples everyday lives. Gates wanted to create operating systems that took over the world and office productions that went on every computer every where. The differences between Steve jobs and Bill gates reflected their jobs in a big way. The company Apple appeals to peoples everyday lives which was exactly what Steve jobs implied that he wanted to do with his creations. The Microsoft word program can be used on any computer anywhere in the world and is more technological then the apple products and bill gates personality reflects this, because he is more nerdy in a sense of technological and economical advances. Steve Jobs was able to be successful because he implemented his ideas to the average persons everyday life which was convenient to all people and may people bought his products. Apple helped revolutionize many companies such as the retail industries and Macintosh and Power Mac. I do think that that the Apple industry that Steve Jobs has created had the major impact that the film described, because h e has influences and helped so many other companies. I use Apple products every day my computer my ipod and my parents use it also because they have apple phones. Apple is used by almost everybody and is a very popular brand and Steve Jobs has made it the successful company that it is today.

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Scarlet Letter: This is a classic novel which I am currently reading in my A.P English 11 class. This is a great book about a woman who is constantly judged because of her past and present actions. This women Is confident and strong by showing nothing will break her down even when she is at her worst. The style, the theme, the characters & the plot is just different from what we are reading these days but it is truly a masterpiece.
