Don't let stardom go to your head

Stardom not only can give you a nice place to live and a comfortable lifestyle, but also behavioral issues and an unhealthy life.

Another good reason to avoid Facebook

An Australian couple was served papers via Facebook this week.

If you thought it was only for changing your relationship status and keeping in touch with people you didn't talk to in high school, think again.

College Football Bowls Announced

The ACC is well represented, but only Virginia Tech is at a BCS Bowl.

NC State used four straight wins to end the season to move up the ranks and play in a bowl after Wake Forest, UNC, Florida State and Miami.

Maryland, Boston College and Georgia Tech will all play at the end of December after NC State, but before the BCS Bowls.

Canes fire Laviolette

After winning a Stanley Cup for the Carolina Hurricanes, GM Jim Rutherford has fired coach Peter Laviolette in favor of previously fired Paul Maurice.

While Laviolette may have been trying multiple strategies to win hockey games, it seems that was the best option for a team that looks lazy and slow in many of their games.

When the MVP of the all-star game from last year will barely (if at all) make the all-star game this year and the captain has one of the (if not the) worst +/- in the NHL, I'm not sure you can blame it on the coach. Add injuries and constantly changing rosters and you can understand some of the inconsistency.

Laviolette is a good coach that will find another job in the NHL and will be missed in Carolina.

The team will get better when they're healthy, but hopefully Maurice will be able to shake some apathy out in the meantime.
