The Logan Health Center offers free and confidential services to all students. Come in and sign up today, it’s fast and easy.

Have you noticed that the hallway doors to the 60s and 80s hallways have been left open during both lunches this year? It was done to help students get to their lockers, see teachers, and be able to get to the other side without having to walk all the way around the building. But lately, many students have been disturbing classes that are in session; banging on doors, yelling in the halls, etc. If this continues, the hallways will be closed and no students will be allowed to go through. So, please make sure that you exit the hallways as quickly as possible during lunch, and are as quiet as possible. We want to make sure that those doors remain open!

SAN FRANCISCO — Sprint Nextel Corp. shares on Monday were headed for their worst day in two years as Wall Street targeted the company as one of the most to lose from AT&T Inc.'s planned $39 billion acquisition of Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile USA business.

Sprint, the third-largest U.S. wireless carrier and previously reported in talks to buy T-Mobile, finds itself in an even more tenuous position, analysts said.

Sports games have gone down the storyline route before, but typically it's in the form of a branching career mode that tells its story through boilerplate text. "Fight Night" has done that for years, and with the Legacy mode, "Fight Night Champion" does it again.

This time, though, the Legacy mode plays second fiddle to a new Champion mode that, while short and linear, goes all-in in terms of storytelling.

Instead of text, "Champion" offers up full-blown cutscenes, complete with plot twists, crooked refs, villainous promoters and, waiting at the end, the scariest bad-guy boxer since Ivan Drago.


Juan Gris portrait
by Man Ray

From wikipedia:
José Victoriano González-Pérez (March 23, 1887 – May 11, 1927), better known as Juan Gris, was a Spanish painter and sculptor who lived and worked in France most of his life. His works are closely connected to the emergence of an innovative artistic genre—Cubism, creating several of the movement's most distinctive works.

Born in Madrid, he studied mechanical drawing at the Escuela de Artes y Manufacturas in Madrid from 1902 to 1904, during which time he contributed drawings to local periodicals. From 1904 to 1905 he studied painting with the academic artist José Maria Carbonero. It was probably in 1905 that José González adopted the more distinctive pseudonym Juan Gris.
