As the cold weather sets in and our work load builds up, college students tend to take on the winter blues –the time of year where we get sluggish, experience a loss of energy, a sense of fatigue, and absolutely no desire to work more than we need to. Right? We are finally done with midterms and professors have already started discussing dates for the final –students can’t help but question whether we are ever going to get a break. With the Thanksgiving holiday around the corner, we anticipate a time of complete relaxation until we learn that papers and presentations are due the days before and after it. Life for us college students can be hard and it can be stressful –if only there were an application on our “smart phones” to get us through the day. The days become shorter and it seems like there is just not enough time to get everything done. We are so mentally exhausted from the workload, we become physically unable to function. For those of us who can’t squeeze in a twenty-minute power-nap between classes, what is there to do that will give us energy to keep going?

The new voting machines being used on Election Day in Suffolk County have been proven faulty, as it appeared to be an unofficial victory for incumbent Congressman Tim Bishop over Republican Randy Altschuler.
The Board Of Elections (BOE) in Suffolk County, located in Yaphank, NY, collects its information through phone calls by poll workers after the race has been closed. They read the tallies for each race. The next step is to post them online, where the BOE will then download the results electronically from each voting machine. It was during this process Alschuler took the lead. On Wednesday, November 3, the day after Election Day, the final count from the Suffolk County Board of Elections showed Altschuler leading, 92,702 to 92,319.
