James Logan High School has implemented the use of online class pre-registration via Zangle.

Students had their annual pre-registration meetings, where they were provided with information about college and how to utilize Zangle in the pre-registration process. In addition to being given a course catalog and pre-registration form, students were also asked to register online so as to ease the burden of scheduling for counselors.

There are moments in each of "Aliens vs. Predator's" three single-player campaigns where the game flashes some honest-to-goodness greatness that other first-person games can't touch.

The brightest of these flashes happens straight away in the marine campaign, which outfits players as a standard soldier in a world crawling with aliens and, eventually, the Predator. "AvP" drops players into an environment where light is a precious commodity, and the game doesn't waste time with dull shootouts against grunt enemies. The aliens are the enemy, and each one alone can easily take a player from healthy to dead. In packs and in darkness, they're a nightmare.
But once the scene changes to less intimidating pastures and the aliens resort to less frightening tactics, "AvP" regresses to also-ran status.
