Penn State loses a great on Sunday

College Football lost one of its greatest coaches ever to coach the game last Sunday with the death of 46 year Penn State football coach Joe Paterno. He was diagnosed with lung cancer and died a few months later. Even though his coaching career ended with the Jerry Sandusky scandals, Paterno had 409 career wins the most in FBS history along with two national titles. The ending of his coaching career could have ended better than it did after all he did tell the director what was going on with Sandusky, but Penn State didn't think so. Over all the Death of Paterno was sad and he will always be remembered for his leadership on and off the field.

Dozens of sites go dark this week

This week there have been a bunch of websites that have gone dark, because of the recent bills that are going through congress. The bills are SOPA (stop online privacy act) and PIPA ( protect ip act). The main thing they are trying to do is to stop pirating of music and movies. One of these sites is craigslist which is a buying and selling website of just about everything. The reason that they are blacking things out it to have people complain to their local congressman or sign a petition to stop congress from passing this law. For many sites just shutting it down would cause a lot of people to get angry.
