The Associated Press releases a poll of 35 sportswriters evaluating American college football teams, and the Minnesota Golden Gophers take the top spot. The AP Poll will become the premier ranking system for both collegiate football and basketball, and will never fail to spark an argument.
The Associated Press provides weekly rankings of the top 25 NCAA teams in one of three Division I college sports: football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball. The rankings are compiled by polling 65 sportswriters and broadcasters from across the nation. Each voter provides his own ranking of the top 25 teams, and the individual rankings are then combined to produce the national ranking by giving a team 25 points for a first place vote, 24 for a second place vote, and so on down to 1 point for a twenty-fifth place vote. Ballots of the voting members in the AP Poll are made public.
College Football
The Associated Press college football poll was created in 1936 to try to answer the simplest yet most divisive question in sports: Who’s better? The poll helped give a regional sport more of a national scope and helped define the Army-Notre Dame rivalry.

In finance, Black Monday refers to Monday, October 19, 1987, when stock markets around the world crashed, shedding a huge value in a very short time. The crash began in Hong Kong and spread west to Europe, hitting the United States after other markets had already declined by a significant margin. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell exactly 508 points to 1,738.74. In Australia and New Zealand, the 1987 crash is also referred to as "Black Tuesday" because of the time zone difference.

(1864) The American Civil War visits a northern corner of the nation
Twenty-one soldiers of the Confederacy cross Canada’s border, travel 15 miles south, and stage three simultaneous bank robberies in the town of Saint Albans, Vermont. In what will be the northernmost land-based Civil War conflict, the cavalry absconds with more than $208,000 (or what will be $3,140,000 in 2015).. 1864

The St. Albans Raid was the northernmost land action of the American Civil War.

deviantArt profile for GµårÐïåñ on deviantArt

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
