The last thing we heard about Flavor Flav as the second season of his showed drew to a close was that he lived happily ever after with what he found to be his “true love”, Ms. Deelishis, after getting his heart broken by Hoopz in the first season.

So, throughout all the surprises and drama that went on last season, he finally found his companion. Right? So why is he coming back with a third season of Flavor of Love?

Logan fans of the show think they know the answer: more money and sex for Flav.

Following the season premiere of Ugly Betty, ABC's hit prime time show Grey's Anatomy finally returned in a long-awaited season premiere. But not all of Seattle Grace's doctors are present this season.

The season finale left Dr. Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) deciding that her time as Seattle Grace was long over due. Walsh is now starring in her own Grey's spin off, (Private Practice) that carries her Grey's Anatomy character to Santa Monica, California where she is still a neonatal surgeon, but focusing more on her personal life.

By Tawab Fakhri, Courier Staff Writer

World-renowned teacher Tommie Lindsey, head coach of the prestigious James Logan Forensics Speech and Debate team, has turned some of his attention to helping guide young black men through their high school careers and lives beyond through a new life skills class just for such students.

According to Logan Principal Don Montoya, Lindsey came to him with the idea for the class, requesting to send forms to all the incoming African‑American male freshmen offering them the opportunity to be put in the Lindsey's LifeSkills class.

Montoya agreed and sent the letters to approximately 60 boys and their parents. Only about three parents declined the offer.

From wikipedia:
Henry Chadwick (October 5, 1824 – April 20, 1908), often called the "father of baseball," was a sportswriter, baseball statistician and historian.

Born in Exeter, England, and raised on cricket, Chadwick was one of the prime movers in the rise of baseball to its unprecedented popularity at the turn of the 20th century. A keen amateur statistician and professional writer, he helped sculpt the public perception of the game, as well as providing the basis for the records of team's and player's achievements in the form of baseball statistics.

Chadwick edited The Beadle Baseball Player, the first baseball guide on public sale, as well as the Spalding and Reach annual guides for a number of years and in this capacity promoted the game and influenced the then-infant discipline of sports journalism. He also served on baseball rules committees and influenced the game itself.
