Biography #2: Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He is considered one of the best presidents ever, along with George Washington. Lincoln is most famous for his signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which ended slavery in the USA. Although the news did not reach everyone right away, the Emancipation Proclamation is one of the most important things in USA history. His Vice President was Hannibal Hamlin. Andrew Johnson replaced Hamlin in 1865. Lincoln served as president from 1861-1865, before being assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. He was 56 years old when he died at 7:22 AM on April 15, 1865.

Who do you think was/is the best president in USA history?

Biographies: Introduction

I'm going to start writing biographies on my blog. I'll try to do at least one biography each week. I'm going to be doing it for anyone. I'll do talk show hosts, astronauts, actors, directors, athletes, authors, and more! Also, if there is anyone in particular who you would like me to write about, you can ask me to write about them in the comments.

Who should I write about?

School Project-Hockey

For the next couple of weeks, me and a couple of my friends are doing a school project about hockey. We're going to match up everyone on the teams, plus the coach and the team record, and predict who will win. Our goal is to eventually be able to predict the winner of every game. Yesterday, we didn't get either game right, but we hope to get it right today! Who do you think will win the Stanley Cup?

Kobe Bryant Injured

Last night Kobe Bryant was injured in the Los Angeles Lakers game. He was going to play all 48 minutes but he got injured with 3:08 left in the game. This is very upsetting for the Lakers as they have 2 games left in the season. They are only 1 game ahead of the Jazz for the final spot in the West for the playoffs. Players such as Lebron James, Chris Paul, and Matt Barnes have tweeted about the injury and hope that Kobe gets better. Kobe is expected to have an Achilles tear.

Clippers Weekly Report #1

Clippers Weekly Report

This week, the Clippers went 1-3 playing without Chris Paul on Tuesday and Thursday. It is possible Chris Paul will return Saturday, but it is unlikely.

Last Saturday, the Clippers defeated the Wizards 94-87. On Monday, the Clippers fell to the Warriors 106-99. The Thunder handed the Clippers their 2^nd loss in two days 109-97. The Clippers lost for the 3^rd time in a row to the Suns on Thursday 93-88. Saturday, the Clippers play the Trail-blazers in what should be a fantastic game.

The player of the week was Blake Griffin with 86 points, 43 rebounds, and 18 assists this week.

All in all, bad week for Blake Griffin and the Clippers, and hopefully they will be able to stay in 2^nd in the west or even get to first in the next week!
