The Minutemen and Minutewomen compete in NCAA Division I sports competition primarily as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference. UMass is one of only 16 universities in the nation that plays Division I FBS football and Division I men's ice hockey (six of which are in the Big Ten Conference). The nickname is also applied to club teams that do not participate within the NCAA structure.
Good grief - what's happening to Staples ? Seen the new email flyer ? Now they're selling fancy rugs, bedding, chandeliers, Valentine gifts? On one hand, yes, they're expanding on the home office organization esp. since we're smack in the midst between 'NY Resolution' and 'Spring cleaning' times. On the other hand, it's like Best Buy/FS all over again when they started selling cosmetics, luggage, pots and pans, etc...
Can I remove Skin Staples at Home? Skin staples are used to close wounds after an accident or more commonly a surgery. The staples function the same way that an office stapler would and they are used for special applications as an alternative to stitching. Both sides of the wound are pulled together after the surgery and the staple passes through both sides and holds the wound together until it can heal. Skin staples can be used on either external or internal wounds.
