The James Logan Courier

You would think we might have been shocked when a recent study by the American Association of University Women revealed that women who are one year out of college make just 80 percent of what men the same age earn. Women make less even if they work in the same profession, and 10 years out of college, they take home only 69 percent of what men earn.

But more jolting than the statistics is that they seemed to surprise no one.

FRESNO, Calif. — A Fresno State criminology student turned himself May 8 to face charges he opened fire in an off-campus apartment in a dispute over a PlayStation, killing a former student — and evoking raw memories of the Virginia Tech massacre.

Brant Daniels, 19, collapsed in the arms of another Fresno State student after staggering away from his attacker following the shooting late Monday night. Two others also were hit.

Jersey Boys
Curran Theater
445 Geary Street
San Francisco, CA 94102


Jersey Boys, a spectacular play at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco, has been extended through September due to its mammoth success. It is a
breathtaking tale of the banding together and rise to fame of the Four
Seasons, a popular band in the late fifties, who continued to play and
maintain popularity throughout the sixties. It brings to life the many
trials and tribulations that the band overcame in order to be cemented into
the sixties youth culture. The play tells their story through the bands
greatest hits, each correlating with chronological events in the lives of
the band members.

HACKENSACK, N.J. — OK, I admit I've done it.

Surfed the Internet using my neighbor's wireless connection, that is.

And I feel badly. Sort of.

In apartment buildings nowadays, wireless networks have become more and more common.

In my building, for instance, at any one time you'll find half a dozen or more networks available. And my trusty PC finds them all. A list pops up with their names, and I can choose mine, or not.

COMMAND & CONQUER 3: TIBERIUM WARS
For: Xbox 360
From: EA
ESRB Rating: Teen (animated blood, mild language, violence)

Game studios have tried for years to wedge real-time strategy games into our console gaming libraries, and the results have ranged from compromised ("Army Men RTS") to traumatic ("Starcraft 64").

But between the horsepower and high-definition graphics, this appears to be the generation in which the RTS gets some console cred. Case in point: "Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars," which not only comes from the genre's A-list, but also migrates from the PC to the 360 with minimal compromise and no dumbing down whatsoever.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856–May 6, 1919) was an American author, actor, and independent filmmaker best known as the creator, along with illustrator W. W. Denslow, of one of the most popular books ever written in American children's literature, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, better known today as simply The Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen sequels, nine other fantasy novels, and a plethora of other works, and made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen.
Baum's childhood and early life

Frank was born in Chittenango, New York, into a devout Methodist family of German (father's side) and Scots-Irish (mother's side) origin, the seventh of nine children born to Cynthia Stanton and Benjamin Ward Baum, only five of whom survived into adulthood. He was named "Lyman" after his father's brother, but always disliked this name, and preferred to go by "Frank". His mother, Cynthia Stanton, was a direct descendant of Thomas Stanton, one of the four Founders of what is now Stonington, Connecticut.
