NBC Thanksgiving Night Stars: Tom Brady, Psy and Martha Steward
By David Li, bostonese.com
After local news, the Tonight show started at around 12:35 AM, an hour later than its usual start time. Jay Leno told the audience that Psy was going to perform on the show. By the time Tonight show ended on 1:25 AM, I was amazed at the enthusiastic response Psy got from Tonight show audience, including many military personnel. Many of them seemed to know the dance moves that Psy made famous in his YouTube video Gangnam Style, which got over 700 million views.
As a Bostonian, I enjoyed watching Tom Brady and the New England Patriots picking apart New York Jets on NBC Thanksgiving night. Tom Brady tossed 3 touchdown passes, scored one touchdown from one yard out rushing into the end zone himself, and led his team to a 49:19 lopsided victory. The game was never in doubt after the Pats scored 35 points in the 2nd quarter, with offense, defense and the special teams all scoring TDs. 
In the picture, Psy is posing for the camera with the host Jay Leno, actor Bradley Cooper, and actress Natasha Leggero. Psy is dressed in the stage costume of “Gangnam Style.”

Should I Take AP Classes in High School?
By Victor Yang, Syracuse University
I am currently an education major at Syracuse University and an alumnus of Lexington High School (LHS). For starters, let me explain the AP situation at Lexington High School. This explanation is based off of what I recall when I attended school there. From what I remember, starting sophomore year LHS would start offering two AP classes. This number then steadily increases each year that the student progress. However, how one gets into an AP class is important. In order to get into an AP class, a student must be recommend by a teacher and this recommendation is usually dependent on the grade the student is receiving in a per-requisite course. For example, if you are going to get a B in Lv1 Earth Science then there is not a great chance you are going to get into AP Biology. This system is implemented so that students who may not be ready for AP classes won’t fill them up.
