The James Logan Courier

By Vicente Marcelo, Courier Sports Writer

The James Logan Colts Varsity Girls Softball Team has had a great season so far. One of the reasons for their success is because of the veterans on the team.

For example, Alex Stange is a senior, and this is her fourth year on the varsity squad. She's expected not only to produce on the field but also to lead the underclassmen. And that includes setting an example both on and off the field.

Alex was chosen by coach Teri Johnson to be one of the team's three captains.

Guest Opinion by W. Dean Cozine

This morning, March 31, 2008, I watched on channel 7’s 11 o’clock news the New Haven Unified School District’s Public Relations person place the administration’s spin for the new security system by saying in so many words that the new “security system” was intended to make the James Logan “safer”. That unless students had a safe environment, they could not learn properly.

What he did not say was whether or not there were valid reasons for the new system. He did not say that it was a response to outsiders causing a concern about safety. He did not say that faculty and students felt outsiders were making Logan unsafe and interfering with learning.

Watch KGO-TV's coverage of the new security plan.

HARARE, Zimbabwe — On a typical workday, Lovemore Vambe will make dozens of clandestine phone calls that lead to a handful of illegal transactions. He'll conspire with colleagues, sidestep police or bribe them if necessary, and come home in the evening with a few dollars in his pocket.

That's enough to make the rent and keep his eldest child in boarding school. In Zimbabwe's free-falling economy, the slight, mustachioed 31-year-old holds a rare steady job: He's a money dealer on Harare's thriving black market, helping Zimbabweans trade foreign currency for their increasingly worthless local cash.

From wikipedia:
Edward Marlborough FitzGerald (31 March 1809 – 14 June 1883) was an English writer, best known as the poet of the first and most famous English translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

He was born Edward Marlborough Purcell at Bredfield House in Suffolk. His father, John Purcell, assumed in 1818 the name and arms of his wife's family, the FitzGeralds.
