CNBNewsnet (March 4, 2019) To get what today’s teens hold in their hands all the time, their parents had to go to the library.

October 8, 2013 Now that one of the four Championship Series teams has been penciled in, it's time to make predictions on who the other three will be. The Dodgers dispelled the hopes of a fifth game last night by sending their ace, Clayton Kershaw, to the mound on three-days rest. It was obvious he isn't his normal filthy self going on that short of rest, but he got the job done and LA was able to take the lead on a eighth-inning, two-run shot by Juan Uribe. The two ALCS participants could be decided tonight, with the A's and Tigers squaring off at 5 p.m. ET from Detroit, and the Red Sox and Rays going to battle at 8:30 p.m. in Tampa Bay.

September 29,2013 Four weeks into the season the NFL has been split into the haves and have-nots. There were four undefeated teams—a couple of which that have looked absolutely terrifying. On the other end of the spectrum there were still five win-less teams heading into Week 4 of NFL football. And the question on everyone’s mind is, how is that even possible? After the end of the early games only one of those win-less teams managed to actually get off the schneid, and that was because they were playing another win-less team. Go figure! Here are some quick reactions to the early games this week. Seahawks (4-0) defeat Texans (2-2) 23-20: Seattle had no business winning this game. They were a three-point road favorite against a team many experts believe can represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. And that was the analysis before the game even started. The Seahawks...

By Michael Ireland Video Game violence is nothing new to the world. It started in the 90's with Doom and Mortal Kombat. The debate still goes on today with Grand Theft Auto. Should companies be able to create and sell these games? So how do you know what your kids are playing? Do you let them buy the video games or do you pick them out? You can't possibly know if every video game is inappropriate right? Do you need help? In 1994 the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) was formed to help inform consumers what's actually in these video games. They created a rating system and have rated over 18,000 video games since 1993. These ratings can be found on every box and most consoles (including XBox360, Playstation 3, and Nintendo Wii) will not license a video game without these ratings on every box. Every child is different. There's...
