Here's the latest school closings thanks to our friends at News Channel 10.

Even though it's freezing outside, there are certain things that help us think of warm weather in the Capital Region. One of the many includes the legendary Jumpin' Jacks.

Could Amsterdam be the next location for a casino to be constructed? If local officials have their way, it will be.

Coca-Cola, the world's largest beverage maker, purchased part of the Green Mountain Coffee Roaster Company this week and plans to make single serving, brew at home soda available before the year is out.

When you bite in to a Subway sandwich, ever notice the taste of rubber? No? Well you really wouldn't but a chemical used to make rubber products is also used to make Subway's bread.

Two more local K-marts have been added to the list of those closing.

The biggest football game of the year is this Sunday and while some will enjoy just watching the game; others need to spice it up a bit. That's where we come in with a great Super Drinking Game.

The leeches of Hollywood have finally come to terms with former neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman to star in a celebrity boxing match.

Floyd Mayweather has always been one to show off his wealth via outrageous methods but this maybe the craziest yet. The famed boxer, who's nickname is "Money," placed a $13 million bet on this Sunday's Super Bowl game.

Next time you look at your bank or credit card statement, check it thoroughly because of a new scam. Thieves are taking and charging small amounts -- less than $10 -- at a time so the charges go unnoticed.

Everyone has thought about quitting his or her job in some type of grand fashion, whether it be making a scene as you leave your former place of employment or telling off your boss. Now imagine quitting your job in front of millions upon million of people on live TV. Well, one woman will do just that this Sunday, thanks to GoDaddy.

It's a tradition that many of us can't remember when it started, but the Super Bowl just isn't about the big game anymore - it's about the ads too!

This weekend is the inaugural Saratoga Frozen Springs Classic at the Saratoga Spa State Park. The event kicks off Friday evening with team registrations, the first round of games, and a bar crawl. Teams are preparing for an entire weekend of hockey action, I have to wonder if they are preparing like this?

Retail stores have already announced their Thanksgiving and Black Friday hours: what about the area's malls and outlets? We have them right here for you!

As it has become custom now with major chain box stores across the country, Thanksgiving is no longer a time for employees to relax with their families while being thankful for what they have. No, it's all about the "consumer demand" and the need to open earlier and earlier every year to make that extra dollar. Case and point, this year is probably the worst to date.

Because no one wants to spend time with their family and friends on Thanksgiving, K-Mart is adding themselves to the long list of stores opening on Thanksgiving Day and staying open through Black Friday. But they are they aren't just opening in the evening. Nope, they will be open all day starting at 6 a.m.

Even though it's going to be a wet and windy Halloween this year, many will still hit the streets in search of candy.

Dennis Drue pleaded guilty this morning to the 58 counts against him in Saratoga County Court in connection with the Northway crash that killed two Shen seniors last year. Drue also waived his right to appeal with the plea deal.

Some people in the world just don't deserve to share the same air that we decent human-beings breathe everyday. Such is the case of 26-year-old Amanda Catherine Hein of Allentown, PA.

Albany is called a lot of things from "SmAlbany" to some other unflattering comments that I can't retype here, but one thing you might not think to call us is unfriendly.
