James Logan High School’s nationally renowned Forensics team hosted almost 60 other schools, some from as far away as Minnesota, last weekend at the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Invitational forensics tournament.

With the assistance of student volunteers, current team members, alumni and various assistant coaches, Director of Forensics Tommie Lindsey, Jr. runs the tournament on Logan’s campus every year on the weekend of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. This year, the MLK tournament (as the tournament has been dubbed informally) was run from Friday afternoon to Sunday.

"Guitar Hero's" previous single-band releases, devoted to Aerosmith and Metallica, were already of questionable quality before "Rock Band" kicked the bar out of the atmosphere with "The Beatles: Rock Band."

Though a perfectly tenable game for reasons to be detailed later, "Guitar Hero: Van Halen" doesn't brighten the picture. Depending on your opinion of Val Halen's present-day relevance and your tolerance for "Guitar Hero" releases in the span of a single year, it might even constitute a leap backward.

From wikipedia:
Alexander Humphreys Woollcott (January 19, 1887 – January 23, 1943) was an American critic and commentator for The New Yorker magazine, and a member of the Algonquin Round Table.

He was the inspiration for Sheridan Whiteside, the main character in the play The Man Who Came to Dinner by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, and for the far less likable character Waldo Lydecker in the classic film Laura. He claimed to be the inspiration for Rex Stout's brilliant detective Nero Wolfe, but Stout, although he was friendly to Woollcott, said there was nothing to that idea.
