College May Become Unaffordable for Most in U.S. ?
The rising cost of college — even before the recession — threatens to put higher education out of reach for most Americans, accordingOver all, the report found, published college tuition and fees increased 439 percent from 1982 to 2007 while median family income rose 147 percent. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, and students from lower-income families, on average, get smaller grants from the colleges they attend than students from more affluent families. to the biennial report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. “The middle class has been financing it through debt,” he said. “The scenario has been that families that have a history of sending kids to college will do whatever if takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”

My hero in a box project
I did micheal jordan and lisa leslie. lisa leslie is a WNBA pro basketball player. After winning a gold medal with the Women's Olympic team in the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, Leslie became one of the original members of the Los Angeles Sparks when the WNBA's first season opened in 1997. She had stated her intentions of dunking in a game before the first season even started, and she tried to dunk the ball on the first game of that season, against the New York Liberty, but she missed. She led the WNBA in rebounds in 1997 (9.5 rpg) and 1998 (10.2 rpg).
her is a little bit about her.Lisa Leslie married Michael Lockwood, a pilot and former Air Force basketball player, in Maui in November 2005. Leslie gave birth to the couple's first child, daughter Lauren Jolie Lockwood, on June 15, 2007 in Los Angeles. Leslie missed the 2007 WNBA season due to pregnancy and maternity leave.On December 13, 2007, the Los Angeles Sparks announced that Leslie would return for the 2008 WNBA season. In her first six games back she has averaged a double-double along with 3.8 blocks and 2.3 steals per game.
her are her accomplishments.Throughout the late 1990s, the Sparks kept paving their way to the playoffs, but getting eliminated as the Houston Comets claimed every WNBA championship played in that decade. After winning a gold medal in the 2000 Summer Olympic Games the Sparks were finally able to topple the Comets in 2001, and they beat the Charlotte Sting to win the WNBA title for the first time. In 2001, she was named MVP of the league, the all-star game and the finals, becoming the first player ever to garner all three awards in the same season.2002 was a very successful year for Leslie. In 2002, she helped win the USA World Championships in women's basketball, and was rewarded with MVP and All-Tournament team honors. On July 22, 2002 she had become the first WNBA player to have over 3,000 career points, when she scored 24 points against the Orlando Miracle.On July 30, 2002, in a game against the Miami Sol, she became the first player to score with a dunk in a WNBA game. After a steal by teammate Latasha Byears, Leslie caught Byears's outlet pass and made a fast break, one-handed dunk. The Staples Center crowd and her teammates erupted into a spontaneous celebration that stopped the game for a few minutes.After winning the MVP Award in the 2002 WNBA All-Star Game, she helped lead the Sparks to their second straight world championship, garnering WNBA Finals MVP honors. She returned to school in the 2002 off-season to work on a Master’s Degree in Business Administration.On July 29 of 2004, she reached the milestone of 4,000 career points, scoring 17 points in an 85-80, double overtime victory over the Sacramento Monarchs. Later that year she won a gold medal with United States women's national basketball team in the 2004 Summer Olympic Games.At the 2005 WNBA All Star Game, Leslie dunked once again in the closing seconds of the game. It was both the second dunk of her career in the WNBA as well as the second dunk in the history of the WNBA.On June 25, 2006, Lisa Leslie scored her 5,000th career point and set an individual career high with 41 points versus the San Antonio Silver Stars. At the end of the season, she was named the WNBA MVP for the third time. On July 22, 2008, Lisa was involved in an on-court confrontation with Detroit Shock assistant coach Rick Mahorn, in which it appeared that Mahorn tapped her to the floor sending her flying almost 15 feet after she headed on to the court to help her teammate Candace Parker. Lisa was suspended for 1 game for her part in the confrontation.

Legacy
Michael Jordan's basketball talent was clear from his rookie season.[12][14] In his first game in Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks, Jordan received a prolonged standing ovation,[14] a rarity for an opposing player. After Jordan scored a playoff record 63 points against the Boston Celtics in 1986, Celtics star Larry Bird described him as "God disguised as Michael Jordan."[20]
her is a quote from micheal jordan "I think it was the exposure of Michael Jordan; the marketing of Michael Jordan. Everything was marketed towards the things that people wanted to see, which was scoring and dunking. That Michael Jordan still played defense and an all-around game, but it was never really publicized.[98]"

The Book I Am Reading.
I read part of the book The Million Dollar Shot. It is about a boy who lives in a small town with his mother; his dad died when he was about ten because he had some kind of cancer. He meets a girl who is bald because she wanted to shave her head because her dad shaves his so why cant she shave hers; her mom is dead too. They both like to play basketball a lot. When he starts hanging out with her his guy friends stop hanging out with him because she is a girl. They both live in a trailer park. He thinks that she is cooler than his guy friends because they could be talking about soccer and an hour later they still would be talking about soccer. When he is with her they could be talking about soccer and an hour later about a guy who got his head cut off.
