<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Summer
break is the number one season that all students look forward to. There are
only 76 days of summer vacation and every day should be spent eventfully before
heading back to school. No more excuses for summer boredom. If you are lacking summer
plans, here are some activities to pack your summer with. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Outdoor
Activities: </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Go
on a nature walk. There are so many outdoor activities that keep your body in
motion. (Swimming, running, biking, hiking, etc.) After some exercise sit under
a shady tree and enjoy a picnic with friends. Display the beauty of summer
flowers fully in bloom by planting some in a garden or in your own yard. Later
in the day as the sun goes down, enjoy some outdoor camping with friends
followed by a bonfire and some late night stargazing. Try to go on a clear
night, in order to see the stars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Work
your Mind: </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">During
the school year students are typically busy with homework and studying, which
does not leave much time for leisure reading. Take advantage of summer by
reading and/or writing a book you would enjoy. You can also expand your talent
this summer by learning to play a musical instrument. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Be
Creative: </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Buy
a tie-dye kit, a white shirt, and gather up a group of friends. Tie-dying is a
fun and beautiful summer activity to express yourself. Don’t forget to take
lots of pictures and videos of all the fun things you will be doing this
summer. You can use these pictures to form a collage or a summer scrapbook, and
use the film to make a summer movie with some of your closest friends. There
are so many apps to help you and your friends produce your very own movie.
Redecorating your room is also a great way to be creative this summer. Make
your own DIY decorations by getting ideas from, YouTube, Pinterest or Tumblr.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Out
and About: </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Take
a vacation. Whether you are playing in the water or relaxing on the sand, the
beach and the pool are great places to be on a summer day. While on vacation,
visit a local museum or a local concert to make for a fun night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Movie Night: </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Invite a couple of
friends over for a sleepover.<b> </b>Sleepovers
are fun, but scary movie sleepovers are even better. There’s nothing like
screaming in terror with a group of your closest friends. There are thousands
of great movies on Netflix to choose from. Pour some drinks, pop some popcorn
and enjoy the movie. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Instances of bribery totaling over $100 million by
officials in FIFA aroused the suspicion of the Department of Justice and the
government of Switzerland, both of which are probing the organization in search
of further offenses. Other sources of controversy and claims of corruption
include the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, a nation who has
implemented forced labor by migrant workers in its preparations, and the rampant
mismanagement of funds. <br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The 2018 and 2022 World Cups will not have their
locations changed. The charges come just two weeks before FIFA’s presidential
election. Current FIFA president Sepp Blatter was not indicted in this scandal,
but will have to face those calling for a clean-up of the organization, a
possible source of opposition in the upcoming election. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the 2014-2015 school year comes to a close, AOIT students have finalized and
turned in their required 140-hour internships. An AOIT statement sent to Apex
Legacy explains, “This spring, [Webmaster] Matt Cozzalino has done a major overhaul on the
AHS site, and added a new Director’s Notes blog as a way for Director John
Evans to communicate with students and teachers.” In the statement, Cozzolino is
quoted as saying, “The Director’s Notes are especially helpful because Mr.
Evans can post any communiqués he plans to send to students and parents on the
blog.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cozzalino spoke about the changes he made to the Apex AOIT website, saying, “[Wordpress]
kind of acts like a repository for any announcements sent out to parents of
students. It’s really for people who are already in AOIT and just want
reminders and things like that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

High School students are eager for summer, many are even counting down the
days. Each student is excited for something different. Some are planning family
vacations, some are applying for jobs and others are just going to relax at
home. Whatever is being planned, everyone can agree they cannot wait for summer
vacation. With school letting out, there will be limitless possibilities for
ways to spend the summer. A recently conducted poll reveals Apex High’s summer
activity preferences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Seniors,
there are only a couple of weeks <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">left until many of you are an official college
student! Listed below are dorm room essentials:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Bedding: The
basis of the dorm room color scheme starts with the bedding. The color of
the bedding can be matched to rug, organizational bins, and other dorm
decorations.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe-Vb62X-fy3cKRXIzAlcVNBfqcFgv7OJsJQe6e2hLaYJCW9vGFwEl2uIWIB3XVnXWCkBOlqTzFy2rI9EqD3R0cdZcv7Zjit0_q42_MpCTTQlefWO_y9UXvOpACU3BFO7h-BV99YNrjiIE/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe-Vb62X-fy3cKRXIzAlcVNBfqcFgv7OJsJQe6e2hLaYJCW9vGFwEl2uIWIB3XVnXWCkBOlqTzFy2rI9EqD3R0cdZcv7Zjit0_q42_MpCTTQlefWO_y9UXvOpACU3BFO7h-BV99YNrjiIE/s200/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Bathroom
Towels: Bathroom towels need to withstand a week without washing; meaning
the quality is very important.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Organization
Boxes: Since all dorm rooms are the size of nice master suite closet, it
is necessary to have extra boxes to store clothes and other materials.
<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Cleaning
Supplies: Keeping the dorm room clean is important, some colleges have a
floor monitor who makes sure the rooms are in decent shape. Also, students
in suites are responsible for taking care of their own bathroom. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hygiene Care:
Don’t forget the basic necessities such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, face
wash, shampoo/conditioner, hair products, hair dryer/straightener, shaving
kit, lotion, and other hygiene items.<a name='more'></a></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Microwave:
Heat up last night’s takeout or a midnight snack when pulling an
all-nighter for exams. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Refrigerator:
Many schools have requirements on the type of refrigerator you need to
get; make sure to check with the housing department before ordering a huge
refrigerator. Some schools even offer microwaves and mini fridges
for rent.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Waste Basket:
Have something to put trash in, whether it be plastic grocery bag or a
trash bin. Old papers and candy wrappers can build up quickly and attract
unwanted pests. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Speaker: Be
able to take a break from studying and jam out to your favorite tunes with
friends. Shower speakers are also an option if other roommates allow it. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Clothes
Hangers: Keep the nice clothes in the closet on hangers to prevent wrinkles.
<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Laptop/Computer:
Many assignments are online and it is important to access online modules
in college to be on top of class work. If a decent laptop is not in the
budget, many schools have options of renting one for free. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Laundry Bag:
Keep all the dirty clothes in one place and make it easy for you on your
trip to the laundry room.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Wall Art:
Make the dorm room unique by hanging pictures on the wall or having
reusable wall stickers. Also, hang stringed decorative lights around the
bed to make the room bright and elegant. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Desk Lamp:
Most colleges provide a desk but not a lamp. While studying late at night,
a desk lamp is a necessity. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Coffee Maker:
Though you may not drink coffee now, it has been said that you will learn
to love coffee in college. Having a coffee maker allows you to stay awake
throughout the week. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">School
Supplies: Have all of your studying materials ready to go before you begin
college.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Mirror: It’s
important to have a mirror in your room because dorm bathrooms will most
likely always be busy.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Rug: Most
dorm rooms have uncarpeted floors which can get really cold during the
winter. Make the room feel more comforting and homey with a rug. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Headphones:
It is hard to find your own quiet space in college. Block out some of the
noise with a good pair of headphones or earbuds. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Extension
Cord: The closet-sized dorm room most likely has very little outlets. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">First Aid
Kit+Flashlight: Emergencies can happen and it's always a good idea to be
prepared. <o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Cooking
Supplies: Ask your college about the rules on cooking areas and utensils
before buying anything, but most campuses will allow for a coffee maker
and hot plate.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">School Spirit
Gear: Have school colored shirts to fit in on campus.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Alarm Clock:
Cell phone alarms are not always going to be heard. Bring an
old fashioned ringing bell alarm clock or a small electronic version that
plugs into the wall to guarantee punctuality on those early morning
classes.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Snacks
(nonperishable): It’s important to have food in the dorm in case of any
emergency or after cafeteria hours.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

use of electronic cigarettes has increased drastically in the past few years,
and some North Carolina health advocates are blaming this rise on a lack of
tobacco prevention funding. The state’s
funding for anti-tobacco programs was severely cut in 2012. The cigarette awareness group Tobacco Reality
Unfiltered, for example, saw its funding fall from $17.3 million to $2.7
million. When the cuts were made,
teen-smoking was down, but smoking rates started to rise after the cuts. Plus, the popularity of e-cigarettes has shot-up,
especially for teenagers. In fact, the
use of e-cigarettes by middle and high school students tripled from 2013 to
2014, with high school use going from 4.5% to 13.4%.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Currently,
North Carolina only provides $1.2 million to QuitLineNC, a service designed to
help NC citizens quit tobacco use. The
state just passed a new $21 billion spending bill, but it didn’t include any
money for tobacco awareness. However,
some people are still pushing for a change.
State health advocates are now lobbying the North Carolina Senate to set
some money aside for tobacco-awareness programs in the upcoming year. Pam Seamans, executive director of the North
Carolina Alliance for Health, is one of them, and she says that, “We need to
get some education out there to our young people."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">North Carolina has a
rich history including pirates, first airplane flights, and the birthplace of
Clay Aiken. Now North Carolina has something new to add to their repertoire.
North Carolina’s capital, Raleigh, was recently awarded the title of Best City
for Jobs and Business in the Nation by Glassdoor. Glassdoor, a website that
allows employees and former employees to anonymously review their companies and
its management, is rather popular with job seekers. The site has three branches
currently and is still expanding worldwide. On their American blog post for </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="http://www.glassdoor.com/blog/best-cities-jobs/">25 Best Cities For Jobs</a></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">, Raleigh was at the top. Forbes also listed
Raleigh as the</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="http://www.forbes.com/places/nc/raleigh/"> #1 Place in the Nation for Business and

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">North Carolina is
famed for its Research Triangle Park, the largest and one of the most
successful Research Parks in the world. The park has been very successful in
furthering high-tech and biotech areas of science. Several factors were
considered during the search for the best city in America, the Park being one
of the main points. Other details range from income averages and crime rates to
the percentage of bachelor degrees and air quality. Schools, parks,
restaurants, bars, museums, pro sports teams, and libraries were all included
in the selection process.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Raleigh currently has approximately 24,000 job
openings and obtained a Glassdoor rating of 4.1. The scale is from 1-5, poor to
excellent. The runner ups for Best City for Jobs and Business were Kansas City
and Oklahoma City.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Best Musical at the fifth annual Triangle Rising Star Live Showcase and Award

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
success of the performance did not come easy for the Peak Players. “We went
through a lot with the show because it was such a big cast and we did have the
whole snow situation,” said senior and ensemble member, Brad Gooch. “I remember
coming back from break, sitting down with the whole cast, and being like, ‘do
we want to push back the date or not?’ We decided not to.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is really important to us because it's Ms. [Gina] Winter’s last year, her last spring
musical, her last big one that she wanted to do,” expressed Gooch. “She likes
to say she took a risk doing Les Mis because it is so big and we all love it so
much. She was like, ‘we’re gonna go for it’ so we did it and it was successful.
[Winning] made us feel really good after all the work we put into it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">President
Barack Obama has banned the federal government from equipping police
departments with certain military-grade equipment. This ban comes after a year of controversy
over the militarization of the police forces in cities like Ferguson and
Baltimore. Grenade launchers and armored vehicles will no
longer be provided, while riot gear and certain explosives will be more closely
regulated. Many U.S. citizens have
expressed concern over what they view as the excessive use of military weaponry
by police officers, especially in black communities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Obama
has recently been making other efforts to increase a feeling of community and
transparency in law enforcement. He is
planning to announce $163 million in grants in order to give police departments
an incentive to be more transparent. The
Justice Department announced a $20 million grant program earlier this month
that will increase body camera use by police officers. Obama travelled to
Camden, New Jersey this Monday to praise the city’s achievements in improving
the relationship between its police force and community. While in the city, he remarked on his
decision to cut back on police militarization, saying, "We've seen how
militarized gear can sometimes give people the feeling like there's an
occupying force as opposed to a force that's part of the community.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Lancet Psychiatry has launched the first study documenting the effects of
maltreatment by adults and peer bullying in childhood and mental health
consequences, and the results have been rather surprising. Their results
revealed being bullied in childhood has long-term effects on the mental health
of young adults. The study, led by Professor Dieter Wolke from the University
of Warwick, compared young adults in the United States and the United Kingdom
who were maltreated and bullied in childhood. The researchers defined
maltreatment as, “any physical or emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse,
neglect, or negligent treatment resulting in actual or potential harm to the
child’s health, survival, development or dignity.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Children
bullied by peers were more likely to develop mental health issues than those
mistreated by an adult. They were more likely to suffer from depression,
anxiety and consider self-harm and suicide later in life. Wolke reasons it’s
because children spend more time with their peers and bullying has a repetitive
nature, “Bullying is comparable to a scenario for a caged animal. The classroom
is a place where you're with people you didn't choose to be with, and you can't
escape them if something negative happens.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Children
may internalize the effects of bullying, this leads to stress-related issues.
Or, they may externalize the effects and become a bully themselves. “Being
bullied by peers in childhood had generally worse long-term adverse effects on
young adults’ mental health,” noted researchers, “These effects were not
explained by poly-victimization. The findings have important implications for
public health planning and service development for dealing with peer bullying.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Data
compared two different studies of 4,026 UK participants and 1,273 U.S.
participants. The UK study looked at the maltreatment from the ages of 8 weeks
to 8.6 years. Maltreatment information was gathered from mothers, who were
asked whether their child had been physically or mentally abused. The children
then reported of bullying when they were eight, 10 and 13. The U.S. data
focused on bullying and maltreatment between the ages of nine and 16 and the
mental health effects between the ages of 19 to 25. The maltreatment and bullying
were assessed through parent and child interviews at regular intervals. Once
18, the children were tested for anxiety and depression and asked about
self-harm and suicidal thoughts. As young adults, 19% of the UK participants
and 18% of the U.S. participants had mental health issues such as depression,
anxiety and suicidal urges. Children who were bullied were five times more
likely to experience anxiety and twice as likely to talk of suffering
depression and self-harm as those were abused at home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Supporters
of the study are suggesting it’s time to address bullying. “Governmental
efforts have focused almost exclusively on public policy to address family
maltreatment; much less attention and resources has been paid to bullying,”
says Jennifer Wild of the University of Oxford, “Since bullying is frequent and
found in all social groups, and current evidence supports that bullied children
have similar or worse long-term mental health outcomes than maltreatment, this
imbalance requires attention.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
study suggests bullying is a global problem, and the study’s authors believe
bullying is a public health issue that requires action. The director of the Not
in Our Schools program, Becki Cohn-Vargas, encourages others to step in and
take action, “What's really important is getting the public and the medical
world to recognize bullying for what it is -- a serious issue.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Johanna
Eager, director for the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Welcoming Schools
program, believes bullying is the result of division and misunderstanding which
leads to the formation of negative associations. Wolke supports this claim,
saying the bullying situation is critical in countries with stringent class
divisions between low and high income families. “Because of the core experience
of social humiliation at home or school bullying can be a powerful experience,”
says Professor William Copeland of Duke University School of Medicine, “Bullied kids are singled out and their
[grief] is often not addressed very quickly which can lead to an accumulated
toll of that experience that stays with them. People don’t necessarily get a
lot of support when bullied or experience significant adults, like teachers or
parents, downplay it. This creates a sense within the individual that something
is wrong with them and that they should get over it with little help.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Programs
like Welcoming Schools and Not in Our Schools aim to aid teachers, parents and
children in stopping the bullying taking place in schools and communities. “It's
a community problem,” says Wolke, “Physicians don't ask about bullying. Health
professionals, educators and legislation could provide parents with medical and
social resources. We all need to be trained to ask about peer relationships.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Advocates
suggest defining bullying will help schools to get rid of it, and they define
it as behavior that causes harm. The director of Not in Our Schools, Becki
Cohn-Vargas, also encourages others step in and take action, “What's really
important is getting the public and the medical world to recognize bullying for
what it is -- a serious issue.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Specialists
recommend role models watch their behavior, because children tend to mimic
behavior, even negative or aggressive behavior. “We tend to admire power,” says
Dr. Tracy Vaillancourt, a University of Ottawa professor and Canada Research
Chair for Children’s Mental Health and Violence Prevention, “But we also tend
to abuse power, because we don't talk about achieving power in an appropriate
way. Bullying is part of the human condition, but that doesn't make it right.
We should be taking care of each other.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Previously,
Wolke saw mistreatment as the main point of concern with regard to children’s
mental health as they matured, but this study changes it all, “Until now,
governments have focused their efforts and resources on family maltreatment
rather than bullying. Since one in three children worldwide report being
bullied, and it is clear that bullied children have similar or worse mental
health problems later in life to those who are maltreated, more needs to be
done to address this imbalance. Moreover, it is vital that schools, health
services and other agencies work together to tackle bullying.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As
you head off to college, one thing </span>you'll<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> need is a roommate, as most
universities require freshmen to live on campus. Here are some tips from two
future roommates on how to deal with this new experience.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Plan
what each person will bring before moving day. While some surprises can be
good, if both of you show up with mini-fridges it could become an issue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">When
selecting a roommate, going with your best friend can be a risky move. You may
be two peas in a pod right now, but it’s said you have to live with someone to
truly know him or her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">You’ll
have to learn how to deal with conflicts that arise with your roommate. It is
important to communicate and be upfront with your problems. Letting issues
simmer only leads to contention and mistrust. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Lay
down some ground rules on day one. You should agree on a few basic rules, such
as what (and who) is allowed in the dorm, what food belongs to whom, or what
time to turn out the lights. This leads to fewer misunderstandings in the
future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Don’t
expect to be with your roommate 24/7. There will be time where one of you goes
out without the other or one of you needs some time alone. Remember that you
are both individuals and will need to go your own ways. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Brady has been suspended four games without pay and the Patriots have been
fined $1 million and will lose a first-round pick in 2016 and a fourth-round
pick in 2017 in relation to the “Deflategate” case. Attorney Ted Wells was
hired by the NFL to investigate the case, and the suspension comes just a week
after Well’s report was released. The report found that "it is more
probable than not" that Brady was "at least generally aware of the
inappropriate activities" of locker room attendant Jim McNally and
equipment assistant John Jastremski. Both attendants have been suspended
without pay by the Patriots, and if they were to be reinstated, the two would
be prohibited from managing the locker room or overseeing preparation of the
game footballs. The 243-page report also stated that Brady, who answered
questions over the course of a single day, refused to turn over his phone for
printouts to be made of his e-mails and texts. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
felt the punishment matched the crime in this case, stating, "We relied on
the critical importance of protecting the integrity of the game and the
thoroughness and independence of the Wells report."</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span></span><br />

report and guaranteed an appeal. "In my opinion, this outcome was
predetermined; there was no fairness in the Wells investigation
whatsoever," Yee said in a statement. "There is no evidence that Tom
directed footballs be set at pressures below the allowable limits." Yee
went on to say, “…the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis,”
and that once the appeal is heard by a neutral party, Well’s report “will be
exposed as an incredibly frail exercise in fact-finding and logic." The
team, though, has not wavered on Brady, giving him their unconditional support. </span></span></span></span></div>

Brady tampered with the footballs, rather that interviews and texts involving
McNally and Jastremski were Brady’s downfall. Brady’s legacy has been discussed
as well, some saying he will forever be seen as a cheat from here on. Others
point to the document’s repeated use of words such as “probable” and
“generally” in their case that Brady’s legacy will remain untarnished. Either way,
nothing is official of course with the news that the NFL Players Association
filed an appeal on Thursday, May 14, saying a neutral party should hear the
argument. Later that day it was announced that neutral party will be
Commissioner Goodell. The NFLPA stated, "Commissioner Goodell will hear
the appeal of Tom Brady's suspension in accordance with the process agreed upon
with the NFL Players Association in the 2011 collective bargaining
agreement." Only time will tell how things pan out in Foxborough. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Over 200 students at
Apex High School are being inducted into the National Honor Society on
Thursday, May 21 at 7:00 p.m.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Selection into the
National Honor Society is based on a student’s excellence in areas of
scholarship, leadership, service, and character. In order to obtain admission
into NHS, students must be an upperclassman, have a GPA of 3.60 or higher and
complete at least 20 hours of volunteer service by the end of the school year.
Apex High School’s chapter of NHS has monthly meetings to assure that members
are completing their specific requirements. Tori McGee, Apex’s NHS Advisor,
will enroll new members into a Blackboard course which will post weekly
announcements.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">American
Idol is finally coming to an end. Fox executives and American Idol producers
collectively came to the decision to cancel the show after season 15. The final
season will start January 2016 with the long time host Ryan Seacrest and
judges: Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr. American Idol has
been a major runner in Fox’s TV lineup since 2002 with the original judges
Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson. Other famous judges have fallen
in and out of the show like Nicki Minaj and Steven Tyler along with dozens of
stars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
show has served a key launching point for many performers like Carrie
Underwood, Phillip Phillips, Kelly Clarkson, and many more. The final episodes
they are planning will pay tribute to past contestants, winners and fans
throughout the season, serving as a "celebratory event."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This
past season has ended with a bang with performances from Jamie Foxx, Fall Out
Boy and many others. Clark Beckham performs with Michael McDonald in “Takin’ it
to the Streets” and kills it. Nick Fadiani follows up with a competing
performance with Andy Grammer. Finally, in the last minutes of the show, the
standoff between Beckham and Fradiani came to an end. As Ryan Seacrest withholds
the results, temporarily leaving the audience in suspense, he names the winner
of this year’s American Idol, Nick Fadiani.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Students

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
fire broke out after a student’s experimental apparatus failed, exposing a
flammable chemical to a hot surface. The fire, which ignited a nearby
electrical outlet and burned surrounding equipment, was quickly extinguished by
the supervising teacher. The experiment that ignited was designed to produce a
considerable amount of smoke, and, despite the students’ best efforts to
dissipate it, it still triggered the fire alarm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Apex High School stunt team brought home the plaque after their victory over
Millbrook High School. Apex made it to the finals by defeating Sanderson High
School 15-11 in the semifinals. Millbrook defeated Panther Creek High School 17-10,
qualifying them for the final game against Apex.</span></span></span></span></div>

fell behind in the second and third quarter. On the final play of fourth
quarter, Apex scored three points bringing them to victory. With a final score

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“We
knew that we could come back if we really worked hard for it. If we had given
up, we wouldn’t have been able to come back and win,” said Apex sophomore
Lauren Blanton. So what made the Apex girls push through to victory? “We all
knew how badly we wanted to win; we wanted to prove to everyone that we were capable
of being undefeated this season,” said Apex senior Betsy Bulkin. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Blanton
and Bulkin share some advice to future Apex stunt players. “Continue to work
hard just like we did this year, and listen to our coaches and always respect
their decisions,” said Blanton. “Practice makes perfect. Study the routines as
much as possible because timing is everything for this sport. If you’re losing
a game, don’t give up, keep fighting till the end,” said Bulkin. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
Apex Stunt team and stunt coaches, Courtney May and Stefanie Barton, are very
proud of this season’s success and are excited for next year’s team. “I think
more girls are going to be interested in trying out next year, so I’m very
excited about having a larger team. I also think there will be more interest in
the county as a whole so the games are going to me even more intense and
challenging,” said May. Barton shares her thoughts on next year’s team, “I am
looking forward to playing in and winning more games, along with hopefully a
second championship.”</span></div>

Rickie Fowler was -7 and only three off the lead, but he was not in one of the
final groups in a very crowded top of the leaderboard. After making bogey on
his first hole and Sergio Garcia extending the lead, Fowler was practically out
of contention and even his mom and sister left the tournament early to catch a
flight to California. By the time Fowler reached the par three 13<sup>th</sup>
hole he was -6 and six shots behind Garcia, but then he caught fire. He birdied
the 13<sup>th</sup> and the 15<sup>th</sup> to get to -8, three shots back with
three holes to play and perhaps the toughest three holes stretch on the entire
golf course, but Rickie Fowler made them look easy. Fowler hit an incredible
and gutsy second shot on the par five 16<sup>th</sup> that barely made it over
the water hazard and bounced on to the green and right next to the hole to give
him an eagle putt. That shot changed the tournament putting him only one shot
behind Garcia and he still had two holes to play. On the iconic 17<sup>th</sup>
hole, Fowler didn’t back down to the intimidating island green and very tough
pin placement. He fired a shot right at the hole, making birdie and earning a
share of the lead. Another aspect that made this tournament exciting was the
crowds. After Fowler made birdie on 17 the crowd exploded into chants of
“Rickie, Rickie, Rickie.” By the time he reached the 18<sup>th</sup>, Garcia
had dropped a shot so Fowler had the outright lead by one shot. To cap off the
historic finish he made birdie on the 18<sup>th</sup> to finish -6 in his final
six holes, the best finish in that span in tournament history. By this time his
mother and sister had gotten word and ditched their flight and came back to the
tournament. Fowler finished at -12 with a two shot lead, but the drama was only
getting started. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Seven groups were still behind Fowler
including Sergio Garcia, who had been leading for a majority of the afternoon.
The 17<sup>th</sup> hole at TPC Sawgrass is one of the most famous holes in all
of golf, one because of its beautiful island scenery, and two because of the
incredible golf shots that have been made over the years. On Sunday, the
scenery as always was there, and so were unbelievable golf shots. Garcia
entered the 17<sup>th</sup> hole only one behind Fowler and hit an unimpressive
tee shot on the green nowhere close to the hole. Garcia was heckled by the
obvious pro-Rickie crowd as he walked on to the green. That had no effect on
him as he sunk a 40 foot birdie putt to tie the lead. He would finish at -12,
tied with Fowler. Kevin Kisner, who was in the final group, also birdied the 17<sup>th</sup>
to get in a tie with the lead and had a birdie putt on the 18<sup>th</sup> to
win in it, but he missed it by a fraction of an inch and the championship would
go into a playoff. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The three golfers, Sergio Garcia, Rickie
Fowler, and Kevin Kisner, would play three holes (16, 17, and 18) and whoever
had the lowest score by the end of the three holes would win. All three were
tied following the 16<sup>th</sup> and then Rickie Fowler continued his
domination of the island green. After Kisner hit an impressive shot about 10
feet from the hole, Fowler one upped him drilling one to about five feet. Both
would make birdie and both would be tied after the 18<sup>th</sup>, so back to
the 17<sup>th</sup> they would go. Garcia was eliminated so the two would dual
it out on the iconic hole. Fowler showed off his dominance of the hole once
again hitting a very dangerous shot that landed just a few feet from the pin.
Fowler sunk the putt and won The Players Championship. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This was only Rickie Fowler’s second win
on the tour and it comes on a big stage. The Players is not a major, but it
certainly has all the makings of one. Fowler does not have very many wins but
has had success. In fact last year, he finished top five in all four majors, a
feat only Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus have accomplished. This win also
silenced Fowler’s critics. Prior to the tournament, an anonymous player’s poll
voted him and Ian Poulter as the two most overrated players on tour.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">They may have called him overrated, but
Rickie Fowler responded with greatness. </span></div>
