The Red Cross took over the school’s Old Gym to run this fall’s blood drive Thursday. It began during first period, despite all of the morning mishaps, and ran quite smoothly. Twice a year the team comes to give students the opportunity to donate, provided they meet the necessary requirements.

On the weekend of October 10th, tens of thousands of people, including myself, gathered in Harding Park, and braved the brutal San Francisco weather to witness a historical moment in golf. The President's Cup is a match held every other year that teams golfers from the United States against a team of international golfers, competing against each other in a series of match-play rounds, unlike any other tournament in the PGA. The line-up consisted of big-name golfers such as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, as well as honorary US team captain Michael Jordan who offered psychological advice to the players. This four-day event ended with an overwhelming US victory, with the winning putt sunk by Tiger Woods himself.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — An ultraviolet light that its sellers promise will "destroy swine flu virus." A dietary supplement claiming to be "more effective than the swine flu shot." Pills, hand sanitizers and air filters galore.
These products were among the hundreds of swine flu deterrents and cures that were advertised online this year. And their Internet purveyors were among the 80 who received warnings from the Food and Drug Administration over the past six months to stop peddling unproven or illegal treatments.

Everything Tim Schafer fans expect from a Tim Schafer-produced project is all over the entirety of his latest offering, which almost certainly will emerge as the consensus choice for 2009's best-written video game. "Brutal Legend" is a both a send-up of and a heart-on-sleeve tribute to the world from which heavy metal videos and fantasies are made, and every piece of its presentational puzzle — from casting to voice acting to character animation to the sharply funny script that ties it all together — could scarcely wish for a better treatment than this.
As a nice bonus, the actual game portion of "Legend," while not quite as spotless, is pretty excellent as well.

From wikipedia:
Béla Lugosi (20 October 1882 – 16 August 1956) was a Hungarian actor of stage and screen, well known for playing Count Dracula in the Broadway play and subsequent film version. In the last years of his career he featured in several of Ed Wood's low budget films.
Lugosi, the youngest of four children, was born as Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó in Lugos outside the western border of Transylvania, at the time part of Austria–Hungary (now Lugoj, Romania), to Paula de Vojnich and István Blasko, a banker. He later based his last name on his hometown. He and his sister Vilma were raised in a Roman Catholic family. At the age of 12, Lugosi dropped out of school.
