Two additional counselors and a social worker will provide extra services for elementary students, and the New Haven Unified School District also will be able to open a parent center at the new Cabello Student Services Center, as a result of more than $1 million in new funding.

New Haven will receive $376,854 per year for three years from the federal Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools (OSDFS). The OSDFS Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Program grant also will enable the District to implement a system-wide approach to reinforcing positive behavior for kindergarten through fifth-grade students, through a program known as Building Effective Schools Together (BEST).

HACKENSACK, N.J. — Should college-bound seniors choose a major before they go?

Some students arrive at college with a clear idea of their course of study and future career. Others are unsure, and need time to explore and discover academic subjects that best fit their interests and skills. But as tuition costs continue to rise, some parents and students say it pays to nail down that focus right away.

"You do have to have an idea of what you want to do," said Mark Boggie, a board member of the American School Counselor Association. "Otherwise you may spend six to seven years in college if you change your major two or three times."

Director Sam Raimi continues the trilogy of Spiderman with many twists in the storyline and intense fight sequences.

Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) and Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) are both madly in love with each other in the beginning of the film. When MJ lands a role as a broadway singer, Peter Parker, alter-ego of Spiderman, tries to save the city by fighting crimes while working as a freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle. But tensions rise between the couple when MJ loses her part in the role and Peter fails to offer sympathy.

*Warning: potential Spider‑Man 3 movie spoilers. Because that's how a roll*

For many of us, the idea of being imbued with superpowers is something of a fun little fantasy to entertain while waiting for the bus or sitting through another boring lecture in class. After all, Superman doesn't have to wait for the bus. Superman can just faster‑than‑a‑speeding‑bullet his way over to where he wants to go. And if he doesn't want to stay in class, what's the administration going to do to him? They can't possibly pull a kryptonite‑encrusted referral on the guy; hell, they scarcely have enough funds to stop me from cutting, and I could barely beat my ex in arm wrestling.

XBOX 360 ELITE
From: Microsoft
Price: $479

Ask most people to describe the Xbox 360, and the words "video" and "game" are bound to come up, likely in sequence.

That's what makes the release of the Xbox 360 Elite a bit puzzling. It's the same Xbox 360 you know and maybe love, and it's still a top-notch gaming system. But there's no way Microsoft designed this with gamers in mind.
