The James Logan Courier

By Christina La, Courier Staff Writer

The Colts’ junior varsity boys’ basketball team played their last game of the season last Friday, losing to the Newark Memorial Cougars in the Guy Emanuele Pavilion.

Throughout the game, the Colts never gave up nor gave less effort even when they were behind at the end of each quarter. Each player worked himself in helping the team and with the encouragement and enthusiasm of the audience, there was no doubt that Logan stood a chance of winning. However, by the end of the night, the Colts weren’t able to accomplish the win.

“It was a close game and a real disappointment because we should have won for the championships,” said Logan’s forward Tyler Hayden.

HOUSTON — Tired of badgering the kids to quit wasting time with those computer and video games and get started on homework? Here's a news flash for the 21st Century: It turns out many of the games might be better than homework.

In a series of research projects as likely to thrill young people as they are to horrify their parents and teachers, academic experts across the country are unearthing educational benefits in the digital games that surveys show are now played by more than 80 percent of American young people aged 8-18.

As a platform, the Macintosh computer has almost surpassed Windows as the best system to use as a media center to watch video content either on the computer's monitor or on your TV.

This hasn't happened because of Apple. We can thank Elgato Systems for single-handedly supporting TV on the Mac.

While the rest of the world was waiting for Apple to create the Apple TV, Elgato was producing outstanding TV tuners and DVR software for the Macintosh.

Its newest entry is one of the smallest — the $149 EyeTV Hybrid.

SID MEIER'S PIRATES!
For: PSP
From: Full Fat/Firaxis/2K games
Rating: Everyone 10+ (Mild Violence)

If the PSP must be a haven for downgraded ports of console games, they should at least be games that don't choke on the system's limitations and portable nature. That's the case with "Sid Meier's Pirates!" which not only fits on the PSP but arguably belonged here all along.
