Lumberjack competition: The Stihl Timbersports Collegiate Championship is basically exactly what it sounds like; a competition to find the best lumberjack out there. This year, the twenty-twelve Stihl Timbersports Collegiate Southern Qualifier was held right here at N.C. State. Deondre’ Jones spoke with the coordinator of the event.

Fracking: Senate Bill Eight Twenty was passed late last night, when the North Carolina legislature overrode governor Beverly Perdue’s veto. The bill made fracking legal in the state of North Carolina.

Andy Griffith: On July 3rd, 2012, North Carolina lost a great son; Andy Griffith died at the age of eighty-six.
