A tearful goodbye was said Saturday night at the Golden Gate Theatre, as
the stars of the play Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe, took their final bows. Almost every seat was filled during this concluding performance and a standing ovation greeted the actors as the play came to a close.

The play was quite successful during its month long run, as many flocked to
the opportunity of seeing such stars as Kathleen Turner, a renowned movie
actress ,and Bill Irwin, a Tony award winner, depicting the well‑known
characters of Martha and George within the play. The audience had much to
say in praise of the actors, including one woman who said, "Kathleen was
phenomenal and Irwin was incredible."

The record industry normally harvests its greatest bounty of releases in the fall.

But what's normal in the record industry these days?

Ravaged by dwindling sales — at least the legal kind — music labels have been under pressure to shake up every old strategy. Which means, among other things, added pressure from shareholders, retailers, downloading outlets, and even the bands' managers, to break the common pattern of releases and even out the flow throughout the year.

Logan's administration Wednesday revealed this semester's final examination schedule, which has been revamped in response to complaints from teachers and students about the fall finals schedule used in January.

The new schedule "was developed by a group of concerned teachers based on the feedback of the first semester finals," said Assistant Principal Linda Kingston in an email to staff.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s latest revision of the state’s budget contains good news in the form of more cash for schools, but more is needed, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell said Monday.

"The May Revision to the Governor's budget is good news for education in the context of the overall budget picture, and I applaud Governor Schwarzenegger for this commitment,” O’Connell said in statement posted on his state website. “As comprehensive research on California schools recently made clear, however, our state will need to find both greater efficiencies and new ways to significantly increase the investment in our schools if we are to maintain our competitiveness in the global economy.”

Anna Brownell Jameson (May 17, 1794 - March 17, 1860), British writer, was born in Dublin.

Her father, Denis Brownell Murphy (d. 1842), was a miniature and enamel painter. He moved to England in 1798 with his family, and eventually settled at Hanwell, near London.

At sixteen years of age, Anna became governess in the family of Charles Paulet, 13th Marquess of Winchester. In 1821 she was engaged to Robert Jameson. The engagement was broken off, and Anna Murphy accompanied a young pupil to Italy, writing in a fictitious character a narrative of what she saw and did. She gave this diary to a bookseller on condition of receiving a guitar if he secured any profits. Colburn ultimately published it as The Diary of an Ennuyée (1826), which attracted much attention. Anna Murphy was governess to the children of Edward Littleton, later know as Baron Hatherton, from 1821 to 1825, when she married Robert Jameson.
