When I first saw a preview for “Fury”, directed by David Ayer (End of Watch), I immediately thought it could be the best World War II movie since “Saving Private Ryan." Now that I have seen it, I still stand by that.
With a runtime of 134 minutes, I never felt like I was waiting for the movie to end. That being said, the movie is not all action-oriented.

Mississippi University for Women has upgraded the security system in the Department of Art and Design after a break-in last spring.
In the early hours of March 10, 2014, two MUW students broke into the art building and vandalized several pieces of artwork. Sources say that prior to the incident, the two individuals had been drinking before entering the art and design building. Unaware that they were being videotaped, the two went into room 212 of the building and proceeded to damage the works of two art students.

The Wesley Foundation has been making a difference in students' lives, but would not be able to do so without Gail Griffith.
Griffith, foundation director and campus minister, has been involved at Wesley for more than 15 years. She is an MUW graduate and a former junior high and high school math teacher.
She is fun loving and deeply cares about students and her position at Wesley. She goes out of her way to spend time with students and encourage them spiritually.

Some food experiences are really good; some are not. Everyone has had a few less-than-stellar meals and probably some that were just truly bad. Here are some of my worst restaurant experiences.
The first was in 2001 in a small town in south Alabama. I was travelling with my Cub Scout pack and the families attached to it, heading back from a camping trip in Pensacola, Fla. Somehow the decision was made to stop for lunch at that place famous for throwing its rolls. We stopped to eat, and after some deliberation, I ordered the pot roast.

If students were looking for entertainment last week, then they could have gone to hear the musical styling of Claude Bourbon. He was invited by MUW French instructor Robert J. Raymond to play medieval blues.
Raymond hosts a monthly house concert that is usually held in his home.
“Usually everyone bring a little something to eat and a little something to drink, and we have these musicians that are most of the time passing through on their way to something big. And they just need to place to spend the night. So it’s fun for us and nice for them,” said Raymond.

GoPro has once again raised the bar when it comes to wearable action cameras.
The all new Hero4 was released Sunday and is available in two versions, the Black and the Silver. While the Black is the slightly better camera, both come with a multitude of improvements and enhancements from the Hero3.
The main selling point of the Hero4 Black is its ability to capture video in 4K at 30 frames per second (fps). For those who do not know what 4K is, 4K video has four times the resolution of your standard HD television.

How to save and spend money is a crucial life lesson learned in college. Most students pickup a part-time job to head to after class. But after rent, utilities, gas and groceries, the money tends to run out pretty quickly.
Being a college student can mean subsisting on Ramen noodles for a few days before you can head home on the weekend for a home-cooked meal. When shopping for groceries, there are several ways to find sales that a certain store is offering.
