The James Logan Courier

For a band that has broken up and gotten back together on a more consistent basis than possibly any band not named Oasis, Jane’s Addiction’s second comeback album, The Great Escape Artist, is essentially flawless in its approach. The new album shows a new approach to the band’s sound without abandoning their old sound. Rather, the new album sounds undoubtedly like a Jane’s Addiction album, which at the same time weaving a new modern sound throughout the song’s influences.

Logan students practiced the old duck–and-cover Thursday as they participated in “The Great California Shakeout”, and their preparedness came in handy as the bay area experienced two real earthquakes later in the day.

3.8 million people in schools, communities, and businesses across California participated in the Shakeout, a statewide earthquake drill at 10:20 am. Logan students were in their third period classes when the drill started, and were instructed to walk out to the designated evacuation areas in and around campus.

Student volunteers are very badly needed for tomorrow’s Halloween Carnival at
Emanuele Elementary. If you’d like to help, pick up a flyer in the Career Center, or
check Logan’s web page.

Congratulations to the Cross Country Team MVAL Champions: Girls & Boys Varsity,
Boys Frosh/Soph, and Girls & Boys Junior Varsity. The first time in school history to
win all 5 divisions!

Logan Students: Just a reminder that you are not to be on other school campuses during
their school hours. This causes a disruption for the other schools and may lead to a
consequence.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom railed against tuition increases and said Wednesday that the state's master plan for higher education is outdated, promising "a different narrative" for higher education by the end of the year.

It was unclear what the plan might contain or how Newsom, a Democrat, might propose funding it.

"We're going to come up with some out-of-the-box recommendations, is our hope and expectation," he told The Sacramento Bee's Capitol Bureau.

Juan Nepomuceno Seguín (October 27, 1806 – August 27, 1890) was a 19th-century Texas Senator, Mayor, Judge, and Justice of the Peace and a prominent participant in the Texas Revolution.

Juan Seguín was born in San Antonio de Bexar on October 27, 1806. He was the older of two sons of Erasmo Seguín and María Josefa Becerra. As the son of a postmaster, he would assist his mother in the business, while his father was off writing the Mexican Constitution of 1824. In 1825, he married María Gertrudis Flores de Abrego. They had ten children. He was elected an alderman in December, 1828 and served on numerous electoral boards before becoming the San Antonio alcalde (mayor) in December 1833. He then served as political chief of Bexar in 1834, when the previous chief became ill. In 1835, he led a relief force to Monclova, when the Federalist Governor appealed for help.
