The Lady Colts basketball team faced Arroyo High School of San Lorenzo on Monday night at home at the Guy Emanuele Pavilion.
The pace of play on the court was very fast from the start of the varsity game.
The first quarter ended with Arroyo leading with 14 points to Logan's 12. The Lady Colts kept working hard and tied the game in the second quarter 14 to 14, but by the end of the second they were down again.

`SUPER MARIO GALAXY'
For: Nintendo Wii
From: Nintendo
ESRB Rating: Everyone (mild cartoon violence)
One of the most telling things one can say about "Super Mario Galaxy" is that Nintendo has delivered a game that's a bigger joy to play upside-down than most games are right-side-up.
As you might have gleaned from various teaser videos and screenshots, "Galaxy" takes the gameplay of "Super Mario 64" and literally sends it into the stratosphere. As such, large portions of the game take place in space, with Mario running around tiny planetoids with self-contained gravitational fields.
In other words, portions of the game take place upside-down. And here's the beautiful thing: It almost instantly feels natural.

From wikipedia:
Anders Celsius (November 27, 1701 – April 25, 1744) was a Swedish astronomer. Celsius was born in Uppsala in Sweden. He was professor of astronomy at Uppsala University from 1730 to 1744, but traveled from 1732 to 1735 visiting notable observatories in Germany, Italy and France.
At Nuremberg in 1733 he published a collection of 316 observations of the aurora borealis made by himself and others over the period 1716-1732. In Paris he advocated the measurement of an arc of the meridian in Lapland, and in 1736 took part in the expedition organized for that purpose by the French Academy of Sciences, led by the French mathematician Pierre Louis Maupertuis.
