Logan's Junior Varsity Boy's Volleyball team went against Kennedy's Titans and destroyed any chances of a Titan victory, winning the match 2-0.

In their second match of the season, the boys did an excellent job of excecuting their hits, and managing to keep the ball in play. Team Captain, Salvador Sainz (middle-blocker) did exceptionally well throughout the match, racking up the points with his power kills and jump serves. " We did a good job today. [Compared to last Tuesday] we were hitting a lot more efficently," said Sainz, a junior.

"With his witless comment about gays and morality, Gen. Peter Pace has revived the national debate about the military's misguided "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. This discriminatory policy that forces homosexual men and women soldiers to live a lie never was a good idea. Now, there are more reasons than ever to get rid of it.

WASHINGTON — Rejecting President Bush's plans to build up American military forces in Iraq, the Senate passed a $123 billion bill Thursday that fully funds the war but demands that U.S. forces start to exit.

The emergency-spending bill, mainly for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, passed 51-47, with most Democrats voting for it and most Republicans against. It was the first time the Senate passed a bill that challenged the president's war plans, and it paves the way for a conflict with Bush in the weeks ahead.
