Press Release Desk , News Partner Posted Reply Press release from the Middlesex Community College: Caitlin Buckley 1/13/2022 Dylan Jack, of Tewksbury, understands the value of combining passion with education. The musician started his academic journey at Middlesex Community College because although he was certain he wanted to pursue the field, "I didn't know exactly where I wanted to go with music." "It was my first true academic experience with music outside of my own studying, reading and playing," Jack said. "It made sense for me at the time, and MCC was a great place to start." The 2008 graduate chose Middlesex because it felt accessible and familiar – his mother was an alumna of MCC's Dental Hygiene program. When he arrived, he also found interesting … [Read more...] about Middlesex Community College: Alum Credits MCC For Helping Him Pursue Career In Music

What do earmuffs, swim fins and Popsicles have in common? They were invented by curious, creative kids - some as young as you. Inventor and Founding Father Ben Franklin was just age 11 or 12 when he designed paddles to help him swim faster. He used oval pieces of wood and cut holes for his thumbs. His 300-year-old invention is why Kid Inventors' Day is celebrated each year on January 17, his birthday. Kids are creative thinkers with their own ideas for tackling problems. Going through the invention process - identifying a challenge, designing a solution and testing to see if it works - is empowering, said Tim Pula, an invention/innovation specialist at the Smithsonian Institution. By leaping from what is to what if builds your "creative- and critical-thinking muscles," said Jayme Cellitioci, a strategist with the National Inventors Hall of Fame. "Invention is more of a process than one 'Aha!' moment," she said. You learn about different ways of thinking, that good ideas can … [Read more...] about Inventive New Jersey siblings prove that good ideas can come at any age

Several West Virginia sports leaders are urging Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va., to support federal voting rights legislation, as he remains steadfast in his refusal to change Senate rules that would make passing such legislation possible. In a letter sent to Manchin last week, five sports leaders - most with ties to West Virginia - said they "strongly support urgently needed legislation that will protect both the rights of voters and the integrity of outcomes in all Federal elections." The Freedom to Vote Act, one of two bills that Democrats are trying to advance to protect voting rights, "effectively addressed these goals," they added. The letter was signed by former Los Angeles Laker and NBA executive Jerry West; Nick Saban, the head football coach at the University of Alabama; former Houston Oiler and XFL commissioner Oliver Luck; former NFL linebacker Darryl Talley; and former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue. "We come from some of our Nation's most popular sports leagues, … [Read more...] about Nick Saban, Jerry West urge Manchin to support voting rights legislation

By Michael Hurley , CBS Boston BOSTON (CBS) — The NFL is great at many things. Admitting fault is not one of them. READ MORE: Pedestrian Hit, Killed By Car On Route 9 In Framingham It’s telling, then, that instead of circling the wagons and defending the actions of an NFL official, veteran referee Walt Anderson has left the league with no choice — not after a bumbling, blundering, bungling of a trainwreck performance on Monday night — but to state in plain terms that he was very, very wrong. Dean Blandino, the NFL’s vice president of officiating, always defends his officials, even when their mistakes are obvious. Yet Anderson and his crew were so bad, so inept on Monday night, that Blandino was left with no choice. He tweeted during the game that they missed an obvious unnecessary roughness penalty, and he admitted after the game that the officiating crew was responsible for the delay of game penalty on Buffalo that followed. In case you didn’t catch the situation in … [Read more...] about Referee Walt Anderson So Bad In Bills-Seahawks That Even NFL’s Dean Blandino Couldn’t Defend Him

This interview is with Soleio Cuervo, a … [Read more...] about ‘Facebook Does Not Exist to Return Profits to Its Shareholders’
