Ohio State only gave former Coach Zach Smith a Six-thousand Dollar raise after he was accused of felonious assault.

Former Wide Receiver's Coach Zach Smith was only given a $6600 pay raise after the 2015 season. His smallest pay-raise at the University during his tenure there. Why is this so peculiar, you may ask? Well, it just so happens to be a coincidence that he received his lowest pay-raise there only AFTER he was being investigated for Domestic Assault against his former wife that same year. His pay raise the year before? 50,000 dollars. That's right, the University of Ohio state decided to really stick it to this man by only raising his salary 6,600 dollars for the crimes he committed against his wife. I found this extremely interesting as this pay raise was allocated before Ohio State faced any public backlash for leaving Zach Smith a member of the coaching staff after the fact. I honestly see little action coming from this, and I doubt Ohio State will actually have any gall whatsoever to ban their all-star coach. It's sad to see that Ohio State won't have any spine to step in and say there has to be some form of punishment, but perhaps this will start to open people eyes on what they want from a school's athletic department.

Inflation is heating up, and Wage growth is not keeping up.

The Consumer Price Index- The core index for measuring the cost of living excluding food and fuel rose up 2.4 percent from a year ago. That wiped out any gains that the Wage growth has had the past year as well. Wages have stagnated in the recent months, and this finding by the Labor Department will probably bolster the Federal Reserve's argument to continue to raise the Keynote Interest Rate in September. According to the Labor department, most of the gains in the Core CPI index and the Overall CPI index were due to rising shelter costs over the past year and this summer. Over the past year Wage growth adjusted for inflation is actually down 0.2 percent on a year-to-date basis.

It's Settled. Cash App has surpassed Venmo. Get over it.

That's right Normies, YOU LOSE. Cash App's stock rocketed on news that they surpassed Venmo for downloads on both Android and Apple app stores. I'm pretty excited about this because I know I can definitively say that Cash app is the bigger, better, and more common app to use.

Man loses finger during fight at Massachusetts golf course.

Whoever said golf is boring got it wrong. You don't hear about fights breaking out on the course very often, because it's considered the game with manners, but not in this case.

A Knicks fan is officially auctioning off his fanhood on ebay

Poor knicks fans. They never catch a break and apparently some of them are fed up about it. One fan has decided to auction off his fanhood, and in return he will become a fan of whomever is the highest bidder on ebay.

Animal crossings lead to decline in roadkill

A 2016 study has shown that natural land crossings for animals designed to divert them away from the road are successful and have lead to an 83% reduction in large-mammal roadkill. Anytime we're doing something for the animals I can get behind it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
