"For the longest time, I thought, 'Man, It's just the Talent Show, It's nothing,' then I really started to feel the butterflies as the show grew closer. As soon as I heard the audience's energy, there aren't many feelings that can compare,"� said Yohannes Zecharias, my bandmate with whom I performed at last Friday's talent show.

It was in James Hansen's zero period econ class where Yohannes and I came up with the idea of us performing songs, but it was he who actually proposed we perform for the upcoming Talent Show. Performing in the talent show felt like it would be a perfect opportunity to liven up my senior year at Logan. I always love being in front of people and entertaining, and what better way than the Talent Show to show some talent, and in front of thousands of people, too.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama and Republicans sparred over health care in a historic face-off Thursday, punctuated by a pointed exchange between Obama and the man he defeated for the presidency in 2008, Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

McCain criticized Obama for leading a Democratic effort to overhaul health care marked by secret negotiations, legislative payoffs to key senators and a popular backlash against a system he called unsavory.

He chided the president that the two of them had promised to change the way Washington works when they ran in 2008, and that Obama had failed to deliver.

In a slow week for major releases, R&B's smooth operator Sade holds at No. 1 on the U.S. pop chart, adding 190,000 in sales in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. That gives the act's long-awaited new album "Soldier of Love" a two-week total of 694,000 copies sold.

Sade's Epic effort holds off another strong sales week from country trio Lady Antebellum, which is experiencing a crossover breakout with sophomore effort "Need You Now." With 144,000 copies sold this week, the album crosses the 1 million sales threshold, reaching that pinnacle in just four weeks.
