The James Logan Courier

By Tim Ciardella, Courier Football Writer

Logan walked all over Foothill Friday night as they crushed the Falcons 31-7. Logan’s offense was just too much for Foothill’s defense to handle as the Colts got a total of 366 yards and 315 of that on the ground.

Quarterback Rashad Evans led the ground game with 113 yards and one touchdown. Running back Danny Godfrey the workhorse had 90 yards rushing and scored two of Logan’s four touchdowns. Logan’s other touchdown was surprising considering it was a touchdown pass from Evans to Medhane.

Presidents of 81 private colleges across the nation made more than $500,000 each in total compensation in fiscal year 2006, up 200 percent from five years ago, while salaries for presidents of public colleges rose rapidly as well, with eight institutions paying their presidents at least $700,000 in 2007, compared with just two the year before.

These are among the findings reported in an annual survey released Monday by the publication the Chronicle of Higher Education.

CHICAGO — A bizarre and cruel Internet hoax that ended with the suicide of a 13-year-old girl has bitterly divided a western St. Louis suburb, provoked a firestorm in the blogosphere and raised troubling questions about how to police traffic on popular social networking sites like MySpace.com.

The death of Megan Meier in Dardenne Prairie, Mo., went beyond the growing phenomenon of cyber-bullying because the alleged instigators of the hoax were not only adults, but parents of a classmate of Megan's, who lived just down the street from her.

No charges have been filed. A local newspaper's decision not to publish the names of the parents involved has fanned a furious public response.

The following editorial appeared in the San Jose Mercury News on Sunday, Nov. 11:

Al Gore won well-deserved glory with the Nobel Peace Prize for raising awareness of the threat of climate change — a threat that President Bush largely chooses to ignore. Now it's up to Congress to be the architect of U.S. strategy for dealing with this planetary peril.

Congress finally is advancing global warming legislation this fall. The package needs to be both strong and broad, at last moving the United States toward a position of world leadership.

Voltairine de Cleyre (November 17, 1866 – June 20, 1912) was, according to Emma Goldman, "the most gifted and brilliant anarchist woman America ever produced." Today she is not widely known, possibly as a result of her early death.

Life
Born in the small town of Leslie, Michigan, she was placed as a teenager into a Catholic convent by necessity, because her father could not support the family. This experience had the effect of pushing her towards atheism rather than Christianity. The convent was in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada and of her time spent there she said, "it had been like the Valley of the Shadow of Death, and there are white scars on my soul, where ignorance and superstition burnt me with their hell fire in those stifling days." She attempted to run away, swimming to Port Huron Michigan, and hiked 17 miles where she met friends of her family who contacted her father and sent her back. She ran away again and never returned.
