The James Logan Courier

By Cameron Lacson, Courier Staff Writer


The James Logan Varsity Boys basketball team is headed to their most exciting game of the season by far. On Tuesday, the Colts will be hosting a match between the undefeated Newark Memorial Cougars in the Logan Pavillion at 7:30 pm. The Colts' current league record is 14-4.


Logan's center, Hunter Hayden said, "I've been looking forward to playing this game all season. Everyday in practice we have Newark in our minds to beat them. So hopefully all our hard work will pay off".

According to counselors at James Logan, students will not be able to change or fix their schedules seven days after the new semester begins. Counselors are encouraging students to make schedule starting now and before the current semester ends. Students can schedule appointments with their counselors for either this week or next week during finals.

Changing schedules after second semester begins may cause a problem. Students will need to be patient and wait a week or longer to switch or drop classes. During second semester, students can begin schedule changes on January 7, 8, and 11.

Since the return from Winter vacation, James Logan High School has increased campus security measures to protect students from violence in the wake of the murder of freshman Vernon Eddins.

Beginning last Monday, an additonal police officer has patroled the Logan school site, bringing Logan's contingent of officers on campus to three officers rather than the usual two.

`RESIDENT EVIL: THE UMBRELLA CHRONICLES'
For: Nintendo Wii
From: Capcom
ESRB Rating: Mature (blood and gore, violence)

Few developers love revisiting their recent past quite like Capcom, which has released portions of its "Resident Evil" catalog on just about any system that will have it.

Capcom returns to the well once again with "The Umbrella Chronicles," but it's a pretty inspired trip this time around. Rather than repackage outdated "RE" gameplay onto yet another system, "Chronicles" functions as a series retrospective, revisiting pretty much every major pre-"Resident Evil 4" storyline through the fresh eyes of an entirely different genre. Instead of creeping through corridors in the third person, you're shooting your way through them in an environment more befitting of a first-person arcade light gun game.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Lest anyone is inclined to declare 2007 the Year of Facebook, here's a clarification: The Facebook era actually started back in September 2006. At the time, few even noticed.

Back then, Facebook was mostly making headlines for rolling out a newsfeed feature that alerted everyone to any updates made by their friends. Privacy advocates howled, users by the thousands signed petitions, and founder Mark Zuckerberg issued a public apology and made the feature optional.

FRESNO, Calif. — He didn't think it was going to take off the way it did.

That's what Andy McKee says. That's what they all say.

No more than 14 months ago, Andy McKee was the kind of musician you'd find in most every city in America. He was a guy with a dream. And it was a simple dream really.
