UNC 'Tomahawked' Their Way To A Big Win
Winning a huge football game in college is always a wild thing, but to win from a 54 yard field goal kick versus the #12 ranked team in the country, on their home field takes winning to the next level.
UNC came into the match up versus #12 Florida State on Saturday with a 2-1 record and were ready to start their run against the ACC. Besides the one disappointing lost at the beginning of the season, the tarheels have looked really good in the last 2 games.
With a last second victory last week, there was no way that the situation would be the same for yesterday, but it was.
After a score from FSU, they were up one and gave the ball back to UNC with 24 seconds left on the clock.
As the tarheels made their way down the field, time continued to trickle down and it was time for Nick Weiler to make the kick of his life.
And if you are wondering if he made the 54 yard kick or not, maybe you should check out any twitter handle out there because all you will see is Weiler running down the field doing FSU's signature 'Tomahawk' celebration in the hype of winning the game for the guys on tobacco road.
With that win, the tarheels are now 3-1 and are looking to continue their great play in the ACC.

Marlins Jose Fernandez Dies At Age 24
Boat crash took place on the Port of Miami, as a boat was going at top speed and wrecked into rocks as it approached the port. The result of the incident killed Marlins ace pitcher Jose Fernandez and two close friends.
Florida Wildlife Commission confirmed that Fernandez was killed from impact and not from drowning.
Fernandez, who was 24, was not driving the boat. The boat crashed into a jetty near Government Cut, a channel that allows boats direct access from Miami Beach.
There is no belief that alcohol nor drugs were involved during the night but no for sure answer will be given until the autopsies are completed.
The boat was traveling southbound when it struck the north end of the jetty, which appeared to be going at top speed. The boat suffered major damage on the bottom.
Debris was found and reported to the Coast Guard around 3am and the Coast Guard arrived around 4am to find the 3 bodies.
Guards said that no victims were wearing life vests, although it may not have aided the impact.

New York Fall Fashion Week
As always, NYFW was one for the books. With many shows, parties and endless celebrity love, New York has continued to be the number one spot for fashion in the country.
What better way to start the week than to have Kanye West present his Yeezy Season 4 clothing line. Kanye had all the stars out for his event, but the heat was not their side as a couple models couldn't stand the heat. While some collapsed, others had to take breaks just to finish the show. So maybe that wasn't the exact start NYFW was looking for, but at least it was a good try?
Tom Ford later grabbed attention that week as the line made its way back to New York after a 6 year break. The designer chad a live-stream of the the star-studded event that attracted many viewers. Im sure we will continue to see Tom Ford at NYFW after this nice return.
Losers also became winners in this years fashion week. Serena Williams, fresh off her lost in the U.S. Open, presented her Serena Williams Signature Statement fall collection making 42 original collections available on hsn.com.
Closing this week was no other than the likes of Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs. The two by far had the best shows of the week as stars like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss were all models in the event attracting a lot of attention.
Overall, this year was a success for New York and we are looking forward to see what the spring will bring.

Benefits of Celeb endorsements to presidents
By: Jarray Davis
When it comes to running for president, your word to the people is usually all you have, unless your word is supported by an A-list celebrity.
More and more, celebrities are expressing their views when it comes to the presidential race of 2016. With some just mentioning who they are supporting , others have gone out of their way to endorse and finical support to the candidate of their choice.
In the most recent primary on March 15, the winner for the Republican race was a shocker to most. With Donald Trump leading the way for most of the time, there was no way Ohio Governor John Kasich had a chance.
Then comes along Ohio State Football Head Coach, Urban Meyer. Meyer proclaimed his endorsement and praise for the ability that he feels Kasich could bring to the Oval Office. Following Meyer's announcement, votes for Kasich increased by great measures. Kasich ended up winning Ohio that night and a big reason for that is the nice endorsement that he received.
A little support from Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had his weightlifting competition in Ohio the week before, also didn't hurt one bit.
With the huge activity of social media outlets and the ability to follow the life of your favorite celebrity, any politician in the presidential race would love to have someone endorse him/her for one reason: the celebrity's fans will follow them.
Kim Kardashian showed her support of Hillary Clinton via her Instagram with a selfie of her, Clinton and husband Kanye West. Kim has 64.4 million followers on her Instagram. You think this helped Hillary out a little?
Big names bring along big numbers when it comes to the presidential race. Former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is using this tactic as an advantage.
Rolling Stone Magazine came out with a statement expressing their support of Clinton as she runs for president. Rolling Stone reaches 23 million monthly people, 66% of whom are from the United States. This means,8 15 million people that read Rolling Stones in the US will go through an article about the support of Hillary Clinton shown by Rolling Stone. This alone, gives Clinton a decent amount of exposure and spotlight without her lifting a finger or saying a word.
Donald Trump has himself a variety of celebrity endorsements also. With the likes of Mike Tyson, Kid Rock, Kirstie Alley, Gary Busey and Dennis Rodman, Trump's celebrity endorsements has helped him when it comes to getting votes from a variety of votes from different areas.
"@realDonaldTrump has been a great friend of mine for many years. We don't need another politician, we need a businessman like Mr. Trump! Trump 2016," tweeted out by Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman.
Most may not realize the effect that these endorsements truly have on the race of the different candidates. With examples shown, celebrity influence brings fans along with them and that brings votes.

Review: Monsieur Lazhar
By: Jarray Davis
With a fight to become one of the best foreign-language films of the year, Canadian director Philippe Falardeau made sure that his film titled Monsieur Lazhar, would be among the top. With the start of the movie only giving you glimpse of the lives that will soon be expressed, the mystery of the unknown prowls upon you as the movie concludes.
Monsieur Lazhar begins with a scene that immediately sinks your heart to the ground in shock. A young student by the name of Simon (Emilien Neron), is made his way to his classroom with a case of milk. As he approached the door, he stopped in his tracks and dropped the case of milk while the camera zooms in on the sight in which Simon had seen: His teacher hung herself in the classroom of empty seats. This scene is what progressed the emotion for the rest of the film as guilt and sadness waved through the lives of every person at this school.
The faculty of the school felt that it was best to bring in a psychologist to come and talk to the students that were dealing with grief after the terrible incident that took place. But as the film shows, a not-so teacher is what really brought joy and acceptance to the lives of the students.
Bachir Lazhar (Mohamed Fellag), who is from Algeria, felt that it was best that he took over the class. With secret tragedies and trauma of his own from Algeria, Lazhar had the ability to feel the grief that each student showed and was able to benefit their lives in a major way.
While other teachers and faculty tried their best to keep things on the down low and wanted everything to pass by and not dealt with properly, Lazhar was there to teach the students that it is okay for them to confront death in general. He showed that he cared and understood, unlike the others.
Although the speed of the film may come off as slow, the raw emotion that is expressed throughout the film allows you to finish the film in excitement.
Falardeau did an amazing job at connecting themes. The theme of coping was something that stood out. The way that Lazhar was able to show that he loved each of his students and that he himself also went through his share of tragedies. Coping not only encouraged the students but allowed some like Simon to understand that he needed to tell the truth about his part in the suicide of his teacher.
This movie is filled with mysteries that keeps you glued in until they are solved.The scene in which the class was talking with Lazhar and Alice (Sophie Nelisse), went out her to way to send a remark to Simon, inducing that he must have had a part in the death of the teacher. It's exciting to know that so many things were known in the beginning that we are the audience, didn't find out until the movie progressed.
With a drama filled with suspense, Monsieur Lazhar is a great film for those who love to solve mysteries. The movie catches you off guard from the beginning and keeps you attached to your seat until the finish.
