The James Logan Courier

By Gabriele Di Fiore, Courier Staff Writer

Logan Live, James Logan televised morning announcement and news show, remains off the air while repairs and upgrades to the school's video distribution system are undertaken.

Shortcomings in the distribution system, which have prevented much of the school from seeing the student-produced daily show, and the need to move the show from its old home on channel 45 to channel 75, forced the show off the air until the issues are resolved, said James Rardin, the video production teacher.

After almost a year of planning by a group of dedicated alumni, and with the help of some equally dedicated students, it’s time to celebrate James Logan High School’s 50th anniversary.

The fun starts Friday night, with the annual Homecoming football game against Kennedy High. Varsity kickoff is at 7 p.m., following the junior varsity game at 4:30. Alumni will be asked to sit in sections designated by the decade in which they graduated, and there will be cake, coffee and punch at a “Meet & Greet” after the game.

WASHINGTON ̬ Florida's tough prison sentences for juveniles came under scrutiny Monday at the U.S. Supreme Court, as the justices appeared divided over whether locking up teenagers for life constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.

Attorneys for two Florida teenagers who are serving life in prison with no opportunity for parole told the justices such sentences are unjust to teenagers, who often outgrow their felonious ways.

It's been only four years since "Guitar Hero" first took the planet by storm, but an oversaturation of incremental sequels, offshoots and competitors' products has made it feel at least twice as long.

How nice, then, that "DJ Hero" has the gall not only to freshen up the landscape, but do so with greater concern for achieving its vision than trying to please everybody the way its spiritual predecessors so often have.
"Hero" shares structural similarities to its guitar-based cousins, and during the first tutorial lesson, it appears to be the same old game with a new controller and soundtrack. Notes slide toward you down a track, and you need to press the correct buttons in time with those notes. Been there, right?

From wikipedia:
Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (November 10, 1759 – May 9, 1805), usually known as Friedrich Schiller, was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and dramatist. During the last several years of his life (1788–1805), Schiller struck a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, with whom he discussed much on issues concerning aesthetics, encouraging Goethe to finish works he left merely as sketches; this thereby gave way a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Die Xenien (The Xenies), a collection of short but harshly satiric poems in which both Schiller and Goethe verbally attacked those persons they perceived to be enemies of their aesthetic agenda.
