The James Logan Courier

By Ronnell Coaster, Courier Sports Editor

Back on their home turf, James Logan played a great Homecoming game as they smashed Irvington 64-0, continuing their rampage through the Mission Valley Athletic League.

While running back Miles Long carried much of the offensive load during the Colts’ previous crushing of American (69-7) and Mission San Jose (63-0), this time running back Damond Beasley carried more of the load.

The Easy Bake Oven is a popular children’s toy that allows kids to safely create their own confections.

It’s a very common toy for little girls to have, however, parents often refuse to buy them for their boys due to gender stereotyping. After interviewing 40 Logan students, 20 girls and 20 boys, out of the 15 girls that wanted Easy Bake Ovens in their childhood, 14 of them had them. Of the 17 boys that wanted ovens, only 7 of them received one, and 6 of the 7 shared them with their sisters.

MISCELLANEOUS
Logan Students: Halloween is Monday, October 31, and we all like to dress up for fun.
However, keep in mind that ALL costumes must be appropriate and follow Logan dress
codes. There should be no masks, no complete face paintings, and no imitation weapons
of any kind. These will be confiscated.

MVROP open house is Oct. 27th at 6 p.m. at their Fremont site next to Kennedy High
School. This is a great time to get out, walk through the ROP classrooms, and meet the
teachers and current students. In general, find out what ROP is really about.

Artists and fans discuss the impact of the iPod:

HOW WE LISTEN:
Alex White, singer-guitarist in White Mystery: "The iPod created a new format for the music-listening public, and a new way for bands to get in their fans' heads, literally, in the form of two white earbuds. My question is, what's the product cycle for portable music players? Was there a 10th anniversary celebrating the CD-playing Discman? Is it the iTunes marketplace that actually makes the iPod so prolific?"

Have a seat, "Ace Combat" fans, because this might hurt.

"Ace Combat: Assault Horizon" is a startling departure that trades in the series' mild-mannered temperament and fictional universe for a crank-it-to-11 summer blockbuster set in our world, and the change of pace — along with how effectively "Horizon" pulls it off — will shock and thrill many who play it expecting the same old aerial dogfighting game.

Problem is, the series' most ardent fans may not be among that many.

Before we get carried away, let's clarify: "Horizon" isn't completely unrecognizable. Most of its missions still take place in a wide-open sky in which the objective is to track, chase and shoot down enemy aircraft. The campaign offers a nice selection of planes to fly, and a few special weapons complement the standard-issue machine gun and homing missiles.
