The James Logan Courier

Courier Staff Report

Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors started the annual STAR testing process Tuesday, but took different tests than originally scheduled because of a testing materials mix-up.

The testing schedule had called for students to take the mathematics portion of the state-mandated battery of standard-based tests, which run until next Tuesday, but a shortage of about 525 Algebra 2 testing booklets forced test administrators to switch to testing English skills today, instead.

CHICAGO — For many of the 255 million Americans with cell phones, the gadgets are indispensable for everything from tracking appointments to taking photographs to telling time. Now, advertisers want their piece of the mobile phone.

As consumers increasingly use their handsets to browse the Web, it's no wonder that advertisers see mobile screens as valuable turf. In the U.S., cell phones haven't yet proved to be the same kind of advertising bonanza as the Internet, mostly because of the wireless industry's more controlled nature and the slower adoption of text messaging and mobile Web services.

But momentum is gradually building, especially behind text-based marketing campaigns.

From wikipedia:
Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow (April 22, 1873 - November 21, 1945) was a Pulitzer Prize winning American novelist from Richmond, Virginia.

Beginning in 1897, Glasgow wrote 20 novels and many short stories, mainly about life in Virginia. Her own education had been rudimentary, a fact Glasgow compensated for by reading widely. Today, her novels are regarded as more than just depictions of life in the Southern United States.

Read The Deliverance; a romance of the Virginia tobacco fields by Ellen Anderson Glasgow, one of seven of her works available free from Project Gutenberg.
