Since the beginning of their academic career at Chris- tian Brothers Academy, students have attended a retreat each school year. Sophomore year incorporated the first retreat completed, followed by the Junior Year retreat. Both retreats are similar as they both were located at Christian Brothers Academy and both were completed in only one day. Unlike the sophomore and junior retreats, the Senior Re- treat took place in West Long Branch (right near Pier Village) and was held over two days, including an overnight stay at the San Alfonso Retreat House. During the senior retreat, the students and the chaper- ones watched numerous videos/movies including an ESPN 30:30 “Unguarded” documentary and “The Way” a movie about making friends during the journey of life. Other than watching movies, students and chaperones attend multiple Prayer Services, Life Discussions/Presentations, and Confes- sion. While the seniors spend a lot of time together at the Academy, these smaller, overnight retreats allowed the stu- dents to facilitate stronger relationships between each other and the faculty moderators. As the seniors look to college, the retreats are a memory to look back on. This memory will recall another example of the cultivation of the CBA brother- hood and emphasis on building community. 4 ACADEMY TORCH / December 2017 / cbalincroftnj.org ACADEMY TORCH / December 2017 / cbalincroftnj.org 5 Is 2017 the Worst Year for Women in Music? Robert Joseph Sandbach ‘18 Why is 2017 proving to be one of the worst years for the year. To add on, some artists like Taylor Swift may have women in music? While music sales have been consistently received their lowest Metacritic scores to date, but they are declining throughout the growth of the streaming era, women still positive reviews.

  • New York Giants 2012 Season Recap 2012 New York Giants
    NEW YORK GIANTS 2012 SEASON RECAP The 2012 Giants finished 9-7 and in second place in the NFC East. It was the eighth consecutive season in which the Giants finished .500 or better, their longest such streak since they played 10 seasons in a row without a losing record from 1954-63. The Giants finished with a winning record for the third consecutive season, the first time they had done that since 1988-90 (when they were 10-6, 12-4, 13-3). Despite extending those streaks, they did not earn a postseason berth. The Giants lost control of their playoff destiny with back-to-back late-season defeats in Atlanta and Baltimore. They routed Philadelphia in their finale, but soon learned they were eliminated when Chicago beat Detroit. The Giants compiled numerous impressive statistics in 2012. They scored 429 points, the second-highest total in franchise history; the 1963 Giants scored 448. The 2012 season was the fifth in the 88-year history of the franchise in which the Giants scored more than 400 points. The Giants scored a franchise- record 278 points at home, shattering the old mark of 248, set in 2007. In their last three home games – victories over Green Bay, New Orleans and Philadelphia – the Giants scored 38, 52 and 42 points. The 2012 team allowed an NFL-low 20 sacks. The Giants were fourth in the NFL in both takeaways (35, four more than they had in 2011) and turnover differential (plus-14, a significant improvement over 2011’s plus-7). The plus-14 was the Giants’ best turnover differential since they were plus-25 in 1997.

  • Retired DEA Agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena Talk to Blue About Hunting Down Pablo Escobar
    THIS ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED BY THE BLUE MAGAZINE FALL 2020 Exclusive Interview: Retired DEA Agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena Talk to Blue About Hunting Down Pablo Escobar By Eddie Molina (www.eddiemolina.com) When it comes to television shows, I’m very picky. I keep a watchful eye out for flaws, inconsistencies, unlikely coincidences- anything that will make me shun the show and give up on it. But every once I while I come across a gem that is perfect in every way. My favorite are shows based on actual events. And that show is Netflix’s Narcos. Narcos is the true story of the DEA’s hunt for the world’s first narco-trafficker- Pablo Escobar, one of the most ruthless drug lords in modern history. The Blue Magazine sat down with the two retired lead DEA agents responsible for hunting Escobar: Steve Murphy and Javier Pena. We discussed everything from the accuracy of Narcos, the extreme right wing group Los Pepes, their new book Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar and much more. The first thing I wanted to know was the accuracy of Narcos. Javier Pena tells Blue, “I tell people that the chronology is pretty accurate on the show; the timeline, the assassination, a lot of the major events, but the producers have to make it interesting.” Javier’s character in the series was pretty bad-a**; a booze-chugging womanizer who threw policy and morality right out of the window. But I wondered how accurate that was, especially considering his role as a law enforcer.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.
