...It’s Not Just Football: Friday Night Lights Review For many people who aren’t sports fans, a television drama about a high school football team in Texas does not sound interesting. But NBC’s Friday Night Lights is one of the best American TV dramas in recent years. There's a level of honest, raw humanity in this Primetime Emmy award-winning show that few TV dramas have ever achieved. Friday Night Lights focuses on the small town of Dillon, Texas, where what matters most is the local high school football team. Eric Taylor is the new head coach of the Dillon High School Panthers. This is a job that comes with an incredible amount of pressure, as everywhere he goes, Eric hears how much the town is counting on him to take their boys to the state championship game. The show illustrates the stress that a town gives its high school players to win and the hope that a team gives to a small town. To have a heightened sense of realism and immerse viewers in the world of the show’s characters, Friday Night Lights...

...The 31 year old American actor, known for his roles in the film Friday Night Lights - Garrett Hedlund, has got a feeling of intense longing for his younger years. Hedlund, who portrayed Captain Hook in the most recent adaptation of J.M. Barrie's beloved children's classic Peter Pan, seems to be having a hard time accepting the fact that he's in his 30s. The Friday Night Light's actor claimed that he's "much more like Hook" than he is Peter, Hedlund said at the NYC premiere of Pan film on Sunday, "There's something about Hook that is really jealous of Peter Pan, because he's young and doesn't grow old and Hook is of a contrary kind and does, and there's this sort of very strong sexual desire for lost time." Garrett Hedlund, who turned 31 year old last month, admitted that, "I'm now getting into my 30s, and I feel that," then he added looking stunned, "That's the first time I've said that I'm in my 30s."...

...around the world, college students all over the world engage in binge drinking. Numerous research studies and programs that relate to the danger of alcohol follow the amount of alcohol that is consumed by college students. The hypothesis for this particular study states that the act of binge drinking by college students makes them more likely to behave rudely and aggressively towards restaurant employees. Previous research studies that have explored binge drinking and alcohol abuse have primarily been concerned with domestic violence and assaults. A research study conducted by Anderson and his colleagues focused violence against women (Anderson et al, 2009), and another study by Hughes and colleagues aimed to find out the act of binge drinking and nightlife (Hughes et al. 2007). What these studies have not focused on is effects of alcohol-induced aggression and how it is related to the restaurant industry. Through thorough research and observations, this study hopes to help educate college students as well as restaurant managers on the effects of alcohol. With information found in this study, restaurant owners can create a new training process that also includes information on what to do when a customer is drunk and behaving inappropriately. Students can also benefit from this study because it will help them realize how their behavior changes with the introduction of alcohol. Methods Research Site and Participants This study focuses on a local eating establishment located...

Although this college is meant primarily for Catholics, it admits other students irrespective of caste and creed. The College aims at training young men and women of quality to be leaders in all walks of life, whom we hope will play a vital role in bringing about the desired changes for the betterment of the people of our country, more particularly of the dalits and other poorer and marginalized sections of society. The College trains young men and women to serve their fellowmen in justice, truth and love. Loyola College became autonomous in July 1978.

The University degrees will be conferred on the students passing the examinations conducted by the college. In Loyola, we look at education differently...

Sandy's death toll was at least two. An elderly man was killed in Jamaica when he was crushed by a boulder that rolled onto his clapboard house, police reported. Earlier Wednesday, a woman in Haiti was swept away by a rushing river she was trying to cross, in some southern towns of Jamaica, a few crocodiles were caught in rushing flood waters carried them out of their homes in mangrove thickets, showing up districts where electricity was knocked out, local residents reported. One big croc took up temporary residence in a family's front yard in the city of Portmore. Wednesday evening the hurricane's eye had crossed Jamaica and emerged off its northern coast near the town of Port Antonio, meteorologists said, but rain and winds continued to pound the Caribbean island, and hurricane conditions were predicted to last well in the night.

...What are You Looking At? Oh, those were the days. Remember high school? Oh, high school. A world without subject-by-numbers, p-sets, all-nighters, or worries. There wasn't much of anything to do, period. The most exciting thing that could happen to you in high school was probably go to a keg party-er, did I say keg? You know I meant cake, and going to the big premiere of "Spider-man." Friday night at the movies with your buds was a sure-fire way to pass two or three hours of your endless free time. What else did you have to do? Fill out the MIT application? Most teenagers, myself included, probably look at movies as entertainment, rather than as art, and most directors will confirm this. The movie industry has capitalized on this "entertainment" view of movies. More than ever, the movies industry is dominated by blockbusters and, to many's dismay, sequels to previous blockbusters. According to the website of the Motion Pictures Association of America (MPAA), from 1999 to 2002, the average theatrical cost of an MPAA film rose over 80%. Over this 3-year period, a whopping 25 out of the top 50 highest grossing movies in the American film history were produced, all of which made over 200 million dollars. Among these blockbusters were "Spider-man," "Finding Nemo," and "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace." We all know why "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" exploded at the box office. But why did the other two gross over $340 million each? Because they were thought-provoking...

...I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter? Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again. Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all...

...pdf Ready, willing, and able? Sleep hygiene education, motivational interviewing and cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia in an Australian high school setting Type Journal Article Author Neralie Cain Abstract Cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia is well-regarded as an effective treatment for insomnia in adults. Previous studies also suggest that CBT-i can be successfully applied to adolescents experiencing insomnia and other sleep problems, which most commonly involve delayed sleep timing. The recommended treatment involves a combined program of morning bright light therapy, stimulus control therapy, and education about sleep hygiene. Improving sleep pattern regularity by getting up earlier on weekends (i.e., at a time closer to the weekday wake-up time) can play a particularly important role in increasing total sleep time during the week and decreasing daytime sleepiness. Recent research...
