I ordered this for my husband, who was having a hard time finding a backpack that didn't look like he'd stolen it from a 4th grader (he's 6'3") and could handle a lot of daily abuse. He's a student at the conservatory, so typically lugs his 17" laptop, books, notebooks, percussion mallets, metronome, lunch, water bottle, etc. around campus, so needs a bag with lots of storage. This backpack fits him very well, has high quality zippers and fabric, lots of organizer pockets, padded shoulder straps and is built to take a beating. And he really likes the color, the reflective piping and it's comfortable to wear when fully loaded. One downside--his laptop does not fit in the largest sections of the backpack. Now, to be fair, this bag isn't designed with a laptop compartment, but since the bag measures 18.5" long, I thought the laptop could fit in there as it measures 17.3" long. Still a great bag--but going to have to exchange it to find something that works.
This is a great backpack! I am going back to grad school and wanted something big enough to carry a laptop, iPad, and my books- it does this no problem. It holds what I need without being cumbersome and the three main compartments make it easy to get to what I need. Very comfortable to carry as well. Much getter quality than some expensive packs I've carried over the years.
I love this backpack! I work full time and am a full time graduate student, and I need a backpack that will allow me to carry my laptop, books, all 3 meals, and pretty much my LIFE; this backpack makes the cut! I've been carrying it around stuffed to the brim for weeks now, and it's still in the same shape it was in when I bought it. Hopefully, it lasts as long as my previous backpack (about 5 years!). This backpack is a great product, and a steal!
We froze Capri Suns and Cokes in the freezer the night before, placed them in the back pack in the insulated part at 5:30 a.m. at 6:00 p.m. the drinks still had ice in them. Really kept cold/cold. The backpack has many pockets, appropriately sized, and all zippers can be closed on either side or the top, for your convience. I really love the back pack. But let me just say, so as not to mislead anyone. The Backpack was in the trunk of the car from 5:30 a.m. until 9:00 a.m., then on the train from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., then my husband carried it around outside from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., then back on the train and stayed there until 6:00 p.m. This was in N. FL and S. GA in April. Still, I was impressed.
I purchased this bag for my daughter and she loved it. it's perfect in size and meets all fer needs. Additionally the bag is well constructed and just the right weight without books. Great product at a great price. Thank you.
Just the bag I was looking for! Perfect for a hike and travel. Ordered the orange bag but the color was more red. Otherwise, it is as described.
This was for my daughter as her last backpack was stolen. She really likes it. It has more room than her last one and she likes the fact that it's recycled.
The backpack is a great item. There are three large zippered compartments. The largest is sometimes difficult to find the zipper due to it being covered by overlapping fabric. Overall great for carrying items.
Had this for a long time (about a year) No problems with it. The outer part just ripped off due to a hungry dog looking for snacks :) Great deal for a basic backpack.
It's great to carry this lightweight backpack, which has tons of storage pockets and space. Can't believe this is made out of recycled plastic materials so it's also eco-friendly. It was my carry-on to Morocco, and I took it everywhere, even when camping in the desert. Love it! My first backpack in forever, and I can't believe I lived without it all this time.

Greens announce general election candidates for Hove and Brighton Kemptown
5:10pm Monday 11th February 2013 in News
The Green Party has announced its candidates to fight for two Brighton and Hove constituencies in the next general election.
Brighton and Hove councillor Christopher Hawtree is to contest Hove against Tory MP Mike Weatherley and Davy Jones, a nationally recognised expert on citizen participation, will be looking to unseat Conservative Simon Kirby in Brighton Kemptown.
Coun Hawtree said: "I am hugely honoured that the Greens have entrusted me with our banner in Hove, a bellwether constituency for national election trends."
Mr Jones said: "I'm thrilled to stand for Parliament in Brighton Kemptown, having grown up in Saltdean as a teenager, attending the local youth club, playing pitch and putt and, as a student, teaching English to Italian students in Saltdean Lido."
Caroline Lucas, the UK's first Green MP, has already been reselected to stand in Brighton Pavilion.

Rice's account of the story sounds nearly verbatim to Brown's version, always a big red flag in an investigation of any sort.
that was a funny show - Chace and Hate come to mind
Now this thread is more interesting than the other one. It really seems like Rice and Brown were totally butt hurt by that Super Bowl loss. Haha. That's great! 2 WR's complaining because their HC wanted to throw the ball to them rather than run the football....

As for Chace, if you knew anything about him, you'd realize how ridiculous your assumptions are. I'm sure B Schucher will vouch for that.

My name is Nicole but you can call me Nikki! Here's a little about me and what I've accomplished.
My Background:
I have been singing since the age of four! I am a native of Miami Beach Florida. I started performing in church and school where my passion for performing were developed. Having come from such a background I was privileged with a well rounded musical tastes, from Gospel in church Classical in school, and Reggae, Pop, Rock, and R&B from her parents. In performing in contests and local shows I learned a lot about stage presence and can share that with my students as well. I earned my bachelor's in Studio Music and Jazz Voice at the University of Miami and Minored in Music Business. At UM I had the opportunity to study with critically acclaimed Jazz musicians and artists such as Kevin Mahogany, Kurt Elling and John Secada. Since earning my degree I've worked with the Florida Grand Opera in their production of Aida, also sang background vocals for Gloria Estefan and Michael Buble. I currently perform around South Florida at various hot spots with my self titled band! So those who teach can do too!
My main objective as a performer is to effectively and skillfully entertain a variety of audiences to the best of my ability using the knowledge that I have attained from my experiences as a student and as an entertainer, and in turn work for an established business in the music industry and become a successful artist.
My objective as an educator is to not only teach my students about music but allowing them to grow and flourish as performers and as musicians, with proper technique the skies the limit!
*** Lesson Details ***
My teaching style is pretty laid back and fun, it will take work and dedication on the part of my students to work on the new skills and techniques they will be learning under my direction. In the first 2 months we will focus on technique, meaning breathing exercises, vowel placements, warm ups, and execution of a song of the students choice, by the third month these exercises would have improved your vocals ability tremendously we can then work on stylizing for the particular genre your interested in singing in. Each student will have a personally tailored lesson plan to better help them in their goals to be a better singer and performer. I do prefer students in the age ranges 12 and up, only because the voice hasn't fully developed yet to do extensive vocalizing but with younger students we can focus on breathing, warming up properly and theory, which is so important at a young age and will better assist you especially when it comes to developing your ears. If you're wanting to learn to sing in different styles without losing your voice or hurting yourself I'm the teacher for you!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Keyboard in living Room: couches and chairs, parents can sit in on lesson
*** Travel Equipment ***
Keyboard should be provided by student, I will provide mic and amp
*** Specialties ***
Pop, Rock, R&B, Jazz Styles are my specialties.
Dance, Music Performance, Music Theory, Piano, Viola, Violin
Alicia has been playing the violin since she can remember thanks to her very talented musical family. Because of their efforts she received her first exposure to loving and teaching music at an early age through attending and later assisting her mother's Suzuki string program. They also afforded her the opportunity to learn with some of the finest violin teachers Miami has to offer.
A proud alumni of Miami's public arts programs, including those of Southwood Middle School, Coral Reef Senior High and the Greater Miami Youth Symphony, Alicia encourages all of her school-age students to explore their options of participating in the various youth arts organizations in the community.
In addition to her 15+ years training in violin technique and classical repertoire, she also has had almost 10 years of classical piano instruction and has had the privilege to perform classical, jazz, blues, latin and pop music from coast to coast and in Europe.
*** Lesson Details ***
I have found that students thrive in a curriculum that's to their pace, fun and conducive to creative thought. So I'm a fairly easygoing teacher. I wont chew you out, won't force you to practice scales on your head while you hold your breath. But I will level with you: Music takes commitment. The good news? It's really fun.
So, let me show you the joy and reward of learning music!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Living Room transferred to music room: piano, computer, music stand and library, parents can sit in on lesson
*** Travel Equipment ***
I expect student to have instrument, music stand, any appropriate books, and tuner (or home access to computer/internet)

I am passionate about music and singing. I have sung professionally on stages all over the world for 30 years, singing 70 roles in 10 different languages. I was the Principal Mezzo Soprano at the Finnish National Opera, a European A-house in Helsinki, Finland, (over 500 employees) for 25 years. My American Debut was at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. My other great passion is teaching voice. It is wonderful to experience the joy that a student feels after finding his/her voice and starting to improve his/her performance.
By now I've worked as a voice teacher for 15 years, well familiar with both European and American voices.
I have a Master's degree in Music, including performance and teaching. I have had additional education in Complete Vocal Technique, which familiarizes me with Pop-, rock,- jazz-, and country singing techniques.My students include both beginners and professionals. I can teach you both to sing like an opera diva, and to belt and sound like a pop diva. For me, the basics are important. I want you to learn proper breathing, support, relaxation and interpretation. With a good foundation, you have a technique that lasts a lifetime.
I am very serious about what I do, and I expect my students to be equally serious in their work. With all this said, expect to learn a lot with me, but also expect to have lots of fun doing it.
You will have better singing for a better life!

Off-Season - Wedding Style
Starting a Family & Teaching Kids to Save
Off-Season Wedding Style
Weddings are expensive. (You knew that, but you might be surprised to learn that some venues charge more when they know services are for a wedding rather than some other type of event.) One way to cut your wedding costs leaving more money available for starting your new family is to plan your wedding for a weekday rather than a weekend. On average a Friday (for example) wedding will cost 10 to 20% less than a Saturday wedding. Venue charges, catering costs, and services like DJs, photographers, and even clergy or officiants tend to be cheaper since those professionals are in much less demand on "non-peak" days. If you want to have your wedding on a weekend, Sundays can also be somewhat less expensive, again due to demand.
Also consider getting married in late fall or early spring charges tend to be lower during those periods as well.

Areas of cloud with isolated thunderstorms over the Tasman Sea are associated with a deep low pressure system. Moist onshore flow has brought areas of low level cloud to coastal parts of New South Wales and southeast Queensland.
The cloud band crossing southern WA is associated with a slow moving cold front extending into the Southern Ocean. High level cloud can be seen streaming ahead of this front over the Bight, South Australia and reaching the far west of Victoria and Tasmania.
Middle level clouds can be seen streaming from Papua New Ginea across Cape York Peninsula and into to the Coral Sea. Some patchy low level cloud is also affecting coastal parts of the tropics of Queensland.
The remainder of the country is mostly clear due to the presence of a high pressure ridge.

Financially Strapped? Here Are Some Ways Out
In a recent National Foundation for Credit Counseling survey, more than 60% of respondents say they have to watch every dollar they spend. If you are struggling to meet your expenses each month and see no way to recover, major lifestyle changes may be in order. Here are some significant changes that might be necessary to help you get back on your feet:
- If you rent, check nearby rates. In many parts of the country, apartment rental rates have dropped due to the economic downturn. You may be able to pay significantly less for a comparable space.
- If you own a home, you may need to sell. This is especially true if you are in danger of losing the home. Place any profits into savings or use them to pay down debt.
- Pay down credit cards using investments or savings. If your investments only generate a 5% return, for example, paying off a credit card with an 18% rate is a better investment.
- Consider a debt consolidation loan. If you can consolidate debts and pay a lower overall interest rate, you can pay off the principal balance more quickly.

The October unemployment rate increased a tenth of a percent to 9 percent, according to figures from the Connecticut Department of Labor. One survey showed that 1,200 jobs were added in the previous month despite the uptick in the unemployment rate.
"With October's results we are, for the first time, showing year-over-year declines in job levels," said Andy Condon, director of the Department of Labor's Office of Research. "However, we believe that when we complete our annual benchmark revisions in March, we will be showing as many as 8,000 to 9,000 more jobs in the state than the payroll survey currently indicates. If so, the current year-over-year declines will no longer hold."
The state's unemployment rate peaked at 9 percent twice this year. Before July 2012, the previous time unemployment was at 9 percent was April 2011.
In a written statement, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy stressed the severity of the recession that slumped the economy.
"Though not as severe this month as in previous months, the household and business surveys are once again pointing in opposite directions," Malloy said. "On the one hand, we created 1,200 jobs this month. But on the other, our overall unemployment rate increased slightly. If these conflicting results tell any single story, it's that more people are attempting to enter the workforce because conditions are beginning to improve."
The survey shows that the average workweek droped from 34.4 hours in 2011 to 34 hours in October. Average hourly earnings dropped 54 cents to $27.93 in a year.

Saturday morning cartoons played out a little differently for San Antonio this weekend. Action figures, heroes, villains, zombies, and just about every creature and fairy-tale character, flew straight off the television set and comic books and into the jam-packed Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center for the first ever Alamo City Comic Con. All the classic characters were there: Batman, The Joker, Captain America, Wonder Woman, the Ninja Turtles; and a few new faces -- Walter White from Breaking Bad and the 'real' Machete, Danny Trejo -- made their debut at the pop-culture celebration. Swing on by and see who you spot at the convention. It ends Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013.

At State Street, we are committed to increasing the economic well-being of our communities, both in the United States and globally.
Our Corporate Citizenship group and Strategic Grantmaking Program help equip less-advantaged citizens with the skills they need to succeed.
We manage giving programs at 38 sites and 25 countries in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Japan and North America. In our offices around the world, our employees volunteer to serve on regional committees that identify community needs and partner with local charities to implement real change.
Helping our employees do more
Our employees are passionate about giving. State Street's Matching Gift Program helps make the most of their charitable donations in three ways:
> GiveMore — Matches their financial contributions
> CollectMore — Matches their fulfilled fundraising pledges
> DoMore — Matches their volunteer time
We also promote giving through State Street's Global Giving Campaign, which brings our employees together from around the world to support the charitable cause of their choice. For the campaign's first year we focused on education, a factor our employees believe is one of the most important in the world today. Whether fighting against poverty and hunger, supporting human rights, or promoting sustainable development, education is essential. Simply put, it helps make life better for everyone. Over a six-week period in 2011, our employees donated their time, energy and money to a variety of educationally focused charities worldwide.
Extending our support with community outreach
Through our Global Outreach employee volunteer program, State Street enables community organizations to draw on the resources and talents of our employees. In 2011, our employees around the world devoted 75,000 hours to community outreach activities.
Our current employees aren't the only State Street volunteers with a tireless community commitment. In Massachusetts, for example, we offer the Spirit of State Street alumni volunteer program for retired and former employees, and provide summer jobs to high school students in Boston. In many of the markets where we do business, we sponsor charitable fundraising events and make contributions to small business and affordable housing investment funds. Our procurement division also manages a highly successful Supplier Diversity Program.
Earning high ratings for community support
Because State Street is classified as a wholesale bank under US Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations, we are evaluated every two years on how well we meet the needs of the communities in which we operate — particularly in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
Reducing our impact on the environment
At State Street, we are working to impact our community in several ways — including by better managing our environmental footprint. In 2003, we issued our first Corporate Environmental Sustainability Policy Statement. In 2008, we established our Office of Environmental Sustainability, which spearheaded the roll out of our Environmental Management System to all of our offices globally.
These efforts have gained us industry-wide recognition. State Street is currently listed on the FTSE4Good Index and the Carbon Disclosure Project's S&P500 Leadership Index. For more information on our awards and rankings, please click here.

Albino and piebald deer are both revered and cherished by hunters and non-hunters in Wisconsin, and yet there is plenty of controversy over whether or not they should be protected.
I disagree with most people who believe these deer should be protected.
I bring this up for a reason. An out of state hunter shot a piebald buck during the first few days of the gun season. There was an outcry of disappointment, anger and there were even some threats made as this made the evening news across the state.
Special report on Wisconsin's deer herd: More 'On Target?' headlines | Search deer hunting statistics | Review deer management over the past 10 years
First off, the harvesting of that deer was not only legal in Sauk County, but it would have been allowed in the rest of the state, too. Piebalds are not albinos, as they have at least a spot of brown on them and they do not have pink eyes. Secondly, even if that deer was a true albino, it would have still been perfectly legal to take in Sauk County because it's a CWD zone.
So why the uproar? Because the deer are white? Big deal. They are deer. Color shouldn't matter. Why protect them? Because they are rare? And why do the people in the Sauk County area feel entitled to tell others not to shoot these deer because they are rare?
White deer are genetically inferior animals according to wildlife biologists. Piebalds and albinos, while uncommon, are more susceptible to predators because of their inability to blend in to their surroundings (except in winter). They are also pushed around by the more common brown deer. Kind of like the runts of litters.
Despit this, both hunters and non-hunters seem to think protecting them because they are white is the correct thing to do.
I beg to differ.
White deer are rare trophies to hunters. And removing one from the herd strengthens the overall health of the herd. Harvesting a white deer prevents it from passing the recessive gene along to the next generation. What hunter wouldn't like to have a white deer mount or rug? There certainly is no difference in the meat. And for that matter, the people of Wisconsin seem to be in their own little world when it comes to white deer.
We are one of the few states that protects albinos. But protecting these deer simply because they are rare and beautiful is not a reason to shelter them. How often do non-hunters see deer as it is? Protecting them for personal entertainment is not a biologically sound reason to do so. It's the equivelant to letting a huge buck with drop tines walk because those are rare as well. Or, similarly, passing on a cinnamon colored bear, which by definition is a black bear. Nature doesn't discriminate against animals because they are certain colors, and people trying to control harvesting animals based on their fur color is irresponsible.
If you don't want to kill a white deer, then don't. But please, don't tell myself or others that we can't. Few would be harvested under any circumstances anyhow. I mean really, when was the last time you heard of one being taken, piebald or albino up until this season? I encourage people to take one when possible and where legal.
I know if I ever get the oppurtunity, I will.

Chimney's cleaning & Safety
Well its that time of year which I know some of you have used them. I just want to say to be careful with these, If you have a fire place or wood burning stove you need to use seasoned wood.
I hope everyone has checked their flue's for creosote or bird nest or cracks if you can. You also need to have beside the fire places & wood burning store a 5 LB or 10 LB ABC extinguisher. 5 LB is better for the females to handle. If you do a cleaning to your flue's make sure the damper is closed. It does make one heck of a mess. Make sure you know how to work off a ladder or the roof. You can use a brush made for cleaning a flue or use a log chain. It depends on the length of chain reference the height of the flue. If you don't want to tackle this problem call a chimney sweep.If you do get a flue fire get out of the house & call 911. They are the one who have the tall ladders. You can also put the ABC powder if you can get any loose in a thin sandwich bag that locks & put in the stove, fire place. They do have on the market some other sort of other extinguisher stuff I'm not familiar with that stuff. Just be careful don't put combustible to close in the area of the fire place or wood burning stove's.
Enjoy the heat & the season. Just trying to help.
Be Safe Enjoy

Re: Chimney's cleaning & Safety
A timely post
A couple of additional thoughts. I am not sure about south of the 49th, but up here it makes sense to call a professional chimney sweep with a good reputation to clean your chimney at least once per season. Insurance companies like that a lot... and if God forbid, something happens, they can immediately rule out incorrect cleaning as a possible cause/contribution to the incident.
I generally call our local chimney sweep at the beginning of the season.. he is due here on the 14th I think, and then again after the new year when we usually have a few thaws, we call them in again to reclean and make sure that there is no creosote buildup. We also have one specific sweep that we want to clean our chimney. He has been doing it for the most part for the last 21 years with a couple of exceptions. Even though the company warrantees the work, each sweep tends to work differently with different priorities. We were not happy with a couple of replacement sweeps, and the company now only sends the one we request. It pays to build a good relationship with those whom you depend on to maintain your chimney.
Cleaning chimneys is a daunting task and many have gotten hurt whilst doing this, and many of those injuries were preventable from what the stats say. So, if there are any issues that could affect the safety aspect of chimney cleaning, please err on the side of caution and hire a professional to provide the service.
Unfortunately, along with a few other seasonal chores/projects, chimney cleaning is also the theatre of choice for many scam artists. Before you contract with anyone, research them to ensure that they are who they say they are, they have all the required credentials, and any credentialed company will gladly produce the certification simply because you ask. IF the prospective contractor balks... walk.. no RUN very fast away from them. We just had a 3 or 4 week scare with a scam artist posing as a sweep and bilking many customers in the 3 maritime provinces.. PEI, NB and NS...

Did mine on Friday this week-wow was it full. Burn 3 cords per year but for some reason it was packed from last spring. Good reminder!!
Re: Chimney's cleaning & Safety
My chimney is on the outside and was built with a clean out at ground level. The top is a little over shoulder high above the edge of the roof and was always a pain to clean due to the height above the roof. When I started having hip problems and knew climbing a ladder and walking on a roof was going to be a problem, I added a second clean out about 4 feet above the ground. Now I can clean it and never leave the ground, gets cleaned a lot more often that way.

Re: Chimney's cleaning & Safety
I did mine also......I have a extinquisher next to the fire place......but I have to ask....you say have one handy, but if you have a chimney fire call 911 and get out.....so why have one handy.....what is the correct way to use one on a chimney fire....I always pictured standing back like 10 to 15 ft and spray the fire out and move up closer and spray it up the flu...do you have any advice...

Re: Chimney's cleaning & Safety
I have stainless flue. I have never had a build up. At the clean out I have a little black dust each time I check it. This is since 1985. Always burn as small a hot fire.
During the 8 years we heated the house on Staten Island with wood we had a tile lined outside brick chimney, with a clean out door in the basement. Used a mirror to look up the chimney. Never any build up and again a little black dust in the clean out. Small hot fires do the trick. The home owners policy on SI turned against Wood stoves, so,m it was cheaper to go back to gas.
My friend Mike in Roscoe NY had a massive stone Fire place. It had some sort of problem that we decided to cure with a chimney (cap) a massive piece of local slate supported 5 bricks high. While hoisting the cover in to place I looked down the chimney and found a coating of creosote and other products of combustion at least 1/2 inch thick. It had the consistency of pine gum only drier and harder. I made him build small hot fires for a week in the fire place till we caused all the bad stuff to evaporate. The other chimney that his wood stove was not quite as bad. Only enough to scare the pants off me. He went to small hot fires in that also till it was clear. Mike used to start a fire get it going good and then load it as much as he could and the choke the draft so that he did not over heat the house. Wrong wrong wrong way to do it. So you have to put wood in more often, you will use less over a year with less waste with unburned fumes.
I know every is saying "what would a city guy know about wood". Yet it is not that different from coal that my folks and grand parents used when I was a kid.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY- (Nov. 5) – Halloween may have been a bust this year because of Hurricane Sandy, but the weather didn't stop a group of local Girl Scouts from carrying on their annual Halloween tradition.
For the past four years, West Lakeland Girl Scout Troop 2478 has given a special gift to the first baby girl born on Halloween at Hudson Valley Hospital Center. Oct. 31is also the birthday of celebrated Girl Scouts Founder Juliette Gordon Low, who was born in 1860.
This year, however, HVHC's Halloween baby didn't arrive until 6 p.m. on November 1, and because of the storm Girl Scouts didn't make their delivery until Friday, November 2. But that didn't spoil the surprise for mom, dad and baby. 5 lb. 14 oz Esme Lilly Marie Nadler and her parents, Kristy and Edward Nadler of Montrose, received a huge basket of baby supplies and other surprises from the troop. This is the couple's third baby. Kristy delivered twins at HVHC about 2 years ago.
Troop leader Donna Reilly said that the girls – students at Copper Beech Middle School in Yorktown – always get a kick out of choosing the items for the basket and presenting it. And it's a great way of recruiting new Girl Scouts. "We'll be sure to sign her up,'' said Esme's dad Edward.

NC State Wolfpack Basketball 2014-2015 News and Updates
2013-2014 Season
2/7/14 – With just five weeks left until Selection Sunday, the Wolfpack are going to need to make some major moves to get into the NCAA Tournament. NC State's first chance to prove they are ready to dance, will come Saturday against 2013 ACC Champion Miami Hurricanes. Vying for one of the last 10 at-large bids that makes up the 68 NCAA field, NC State wins against Syracuse and Pittsburgh on the road and versus North Carolina at home, will give the Wolfpack their best chance to jump in the RPI and get on the other side of the bubble come selection time. NC State vs North Carolina Tar Heels basketball tickets are by far the most expensive, averaging $135 for the rivalry game. All three other games left at PNC Arena this season - Wake Forest Demon Deacons (avg. $16), Miami Hurricanes (avg. $39), Boston College Eagles (avg. $29)- have North Carolina State Wolfpack tickets available for under $10.
1/9/14 - The North Carolina Wolfpack upset the Fighting Irish to win their first conference game on the road over Notre Dame, pushing them up to No. 7 in the ACC standings. The win granted NC State a much-needed boost to get them back on track after losing their conference opener to Pittsburgh, collapsing in the second half at home this past Saturday. Now, with a 1-1 record in the AAC, the Wolfpack can improve their standings with their first conference win at home when they take on the #3 Virginia Cavaliers this Saturday. Sophomore wingman T.J. Warren helped take the squad to victory, and remains the ACC's top leading scorer with 23.8 avg ppg, while Anthony Barber provided stunning assistance in the team effort. NC State won't be back home until Jan 20 against Maryland, so grab your tickets now for this weekend for just $19!

2013-2014 Season
NC State basketball has always been a distinguished force in the
, as the Wolfpack was a founding member of the conference. They have two national championships and ten conference championships under their belt. Mark Gottfreid is in his third year of coaching and has taken the Wolfpack to the
NCAA Tournament

a title they have missed since 1979.
This year, the Wolfpack opens at home with a game against Appalachian State on Nov 8. They will open ACC play against the
Pittsburgh Panthers
at home (Jan 4), followed by a schedule lined with tough opponents: #21
Notre Dame
, #4
(Jan 18) and #12 North Carolina (Feb 1). They are pitted against rivals
North Carolina Tar Heels
in February, last year they split their heated meetings, but things may not be so even this time around, as the Coaches Poll ranks North Carolina No. 11 while NC State did not cut the Top 25.
Gottfried has a team that is currently ranked 9th in the ACC, but has a lot of new players to make up one of the youngest squads in the nation. Five of their six scorers gone: two were lost to the NBA draft (CJ Leslie and Lorenzo Brown), two more graduated, and Rodney Purvis transferred over to UConn. Only two players are returning this year, and both are sophomores: forward Raleigh-native T.J. Warren is the new go-to scorer, who will get support and assists from point guard Tyler Lewis. Both made a good showing during the Wolfpack's exhibition match against Pembroke, up 96-85. In what some are calling a rebuilding year, Lewis believes the team will "surprise" many when they look to make waves in the

And with gas prices approaching $4 per gallon, who wouldn't want to save a little cash?Bottom line: that's a 'big gas discount.' Watch the video in the player above. Look close enough and you'll see several familiar faces from the infamous 'Ship My Pants' spot.Also See: Kmart's 'Ship My Pants' commercial is hilarious

Classes run from Feb 18th through March 12th. Certified Nursing Assistants, or CNAs, as they're more commonly called, play a highly significant part in the field of health care. Also known as patient care technicians, orderlies, and nurse's aides, these people provide an indispensable part of patient care. A Certified Nursing Assistant helps nurses in medical facilities by giving basic care to the patients, which is vital in hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes. The demand is high for qualified CNAs even in this time of global recession and economic failure. Classes are provided through a partnership between Dawson Community College and the Glendive Medical Center.
"As an incentive Glendive Medical Center reimburses the cost of tuition, testing and books for students that successfully pass the class and are hired at GMC. In addition GMC offers temporary employment for select students in class; we essentially pay them for their time spent in the class." said Staci Knuths, Recruitment Specialist-Glendive Medical Center "Interested candidates can contact me at GMC at 345-2608 for more information."
The CNA training course is geared to provide the participant with the skills that will enable them to perform satisfactorily as an entry level nursing assistant primarily in a long term care facility. The method for reaching that goal combines both a strong technical and theoretical background as well as an opportunity for experience in a supervised clinical environment. Successful completion of the training will satisfy requirements for Medicaid Certification.
For a flyer with class times and payment information go to the dawson.edu/workshop page. Registered Nurse Donna Knuths will be instructing the CNA course. Cost for the 4-credit, 80-hour course is $70.00 plus book available through the DCC bookstore at 377-9457. Enrollment is limited.
For additional information contact Marilyn Dutton 377-9405 or Dawson Community College at main number 377-3396.

Paul McCartney Lends Support For Jailed Russian Punk Band
Friday, August 17, 2012
Paul McCartney has joined a growing list of musicians urging Russian officials to release members of the band Pussy Riot, who are facing up to seven years in prison. The former Beatle feels that the band's "punk prayer" against Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Church of Christ the Saviour was a legitimate form of protest and not a jail-able offense. On February 21st, the group was arrested for hooliganism and violating public order during their protest against Putin's re-election. A verdict for the musicians is to be handed down today (August 17th.)
McCartney posted a letter to the group on his official site (PaulMcCartney.com) saying:
"Dear Nadya, Katya and Masha, I'm writing to show my support for you at this difficult time. I would like you to know that I very much hope the Russian authorities would support the principle of free speech for all their citizens and not feel that they have to punish you for your protest. Many people in the civilized world are allowed to voice their opinions and as long as they do not hurt anyone in doing so I believe this is the best way forward for all societies. I hope you can stay strong and believe that I and many others like me who believe in free speech will to everything in our power to support you and the idea of artistic freedom. Wishing you the very best luck, Paul McCartney"
Among the others throwing their support behind the Russian punk trio are Pete Townshend, Sting, Yoko Ono, Madonna, Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, the Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant, Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Patti Smith, and Beastie Boy Adam "Ad Rock" Horovitz, among others.

Brad rounds up Rorie and Dan (and some smelly panties) to help solve this D&D murder mystery.
This full-length, non-animated feature continues with another batch of your questions.
I'm psyched to see the developers coming up with more complicated scenarios during the trial. That was my biggest complaint in the original.
A game so deliciously cute it would make Matt Rorie just want to CHOMP IT!
To get the true story you're going to have to read between the bullets.
When you've really, really got to make that jump over a lava pit, Dan prefers a butt slide. Brad's more of a hookshot guy.
Jeff and Dan both agree that having stretchy limbs and eating dragons is pretty cool. Even if it's anime.
If only a surrealistic world of floating buildings and goat things could always be enjoyable.
For the next two weeks, Dota is going to be our huckleberry. Sorry.
It's called Battleborn, and it's coming in 2015 or 2016, depending on who you ask.
Dan and Jeff sneak out of their bunks to go on a late night panty raid. The abyss stares back disapprovingly.
Oh! Use the baseball to shine the flashlight into the magnifying glass to light the candle. Duh.
Look for a recap of the finale, as well as a review of the full season from me this week.
Jeff takes a peek into Dan's head and finds it filled with Twisted Metal 2 codes. Not much else.
We celebrate the birth of our great nation the only way we know how: hacking Street Fighter II.
Before freedom reigns Contra must be played. I believe that is in our Constitution. Pretty sure.
Armed with circuit boards and a knapsack full of booze, Brad and Dan go on a cannibalistic nature retreat.
The provocative game jam experiment has become something much bigger, weirder, and more unnerving.
Security cameras, hacking, line of sight--look, it's pretty much just like Sneakers, except everyone is blocks.
Abe Lincoln says "Download it today or I WILL CUT YOU."
Jeff and Dan commit horrible violence against the butts of some very surprised skeletons.
This was a bad idea before. It's still a bad idea.

Public schools across the country are transitioning to the new Common Core standards that will change the way math, reading and writing are taught. But it is facing a lot of criticism nationwide, including in New York.
American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten, a big supporter of Common Core, said at an Association for a Better New York breakfast that the new standards are a must for schools to ensure a better and equal education for all students.
But the shift to the Common Core standards has been tough for many schools. Teachers and parents in New York are frustrated by this year's tests because they say students are being judged based on curriculum that has not yet been adequately taught.
Weingarten said she recognizes that Common Core is in trouble and said she is concerned that the states are rushing out tests without training teachers properly. In order to deal with the backlash, she is calling for a moratorium to give everyone enough time to prepare.
While there is support for Common Core, right now several states have bills to repeal the program. None have passed yet.
