In recent times, China in the news has received surprisingly positive coverage. Not only did the amount of human rights abuse stories decrease, it has also received the honor of hosting the next Olympic games. In the international community the People’s Republic has also done well, pressuring North Korea to halt nuclear proliferation and become an active member of the U.N., in addition to establishing itself as an economic pillar. Along with the increase in foreign investment, China is experiencing an economic and political bloom.

POKEMON: DIAMOND
POKEMON: PEARL
For: Nintendo DS
From: Game Freak/Nintendo
ESRB Rating: Everyone

Go ahead and egg it on, but Game Freak isn't rocking the boat. The arrivals of "Pokemon: Diamond" and "Pokemon: Pearl" mark the series' long-overdue debut on the Nintendo DS, but anyone expecting a revolution should probably just stop waiting. Game Freak's baby hasn't changed much since it debuted nine years ago, and the series' incredible enduring popularity merely validates the developer's refusal to break what isn't broken.

The game remains the same: You're a rookie Pokemon trainer with big dreams of winning the Pokemon League Championship. To do so, you collect and train Pokemon, which you then employ in turn-based battles against other trainers, your archrival and some bad guys who want more than a trophy cup.

House One Principal Alberto Solorzano will become principal of Cesar Chavez Middle School soon after he finishes out the school year here at James Logan.

From the U.S. Korean War Commemoration:

General Mark Wayne Clark served as commander of United Nations (U.N). Forces in Korea from May 12, 1952, to October 7, 1953, and signed the Military Armistice Agreement on behalf of the U.N. Command with the North Korean Army and the Chinese People’s Volunteers at Munsan-ni, Korea, July 27, 1953.

The son of a career infantry officer, Clark was born in Madison Barracks, New York, and spent much of his youth in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, near Fort Sheridan. With the assistance of his aunt, Zettie Marshall (the mother of General George C. Marshall), Clark secured, at age 17, an early appointment to the U.S. Military Academy. A tall, lean, and often sickly youth, Clark failed to distinguish himself at West Point as either an athlete or scholar, graduating 110th in a class of 139 in 1917. Following graduation, he was commissioned a second lieutenant and assigned to the infantry. Severe health problems, which troubled him throughout his youth, caused him to be hospitalized and set him behind his classmates. Nevertheless, he was promoted to captain in August 1917, and saw action with the 11th Infantry in France, where he was wounded in action and later decorated for bravery.
