Link round-up: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

Something Old:
Buffalo News reports on President Obama's plan to use community colleges to improve the workforce. The report once again confirms that community colleges have been experiencing record high enrollments and hints at possible admission caps in the future if this trend continues. The article fails to mention SCCC but does cite several community colleges in NY.

Something New:
Times Union reports on the new gymnasium being built in Schenectady's Center City located on State Street across from Proctors. This new gym, belonging to the YMCA of Schenectady will also be home to our Basketball and Volleyball teams when it is finished in January.

Something Borrowed:
This holiday season the Salvation Army will use more "plastic kettles" in addition to ringing bells outside of the department stores and hoping that jolly shoppers will drop their spare change in the old kettles. These plastic kettles will take credit cards so you can borrow money from Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, to donate to the Salvation Army and pay them back latter.

Something Blue:
Rite Aid on Eastern Avenue was robbed on Friday afternoon. Police said that when one of the suspects was confronted by a sales associate because he was shoving items down his pants the suspect punched the associate in the face and fled. He was wearing blue jeans.
