Students and teachers likely will not have access to the Media Center at James Logan High School as a result of district budget cuts next year.
Library clerks received pink slips, informing them that they may not have jobs next year.
Meanwhile, Media Center Specialist Carla Colburn said she was “personally told by Derek McNamara (New Haven’s associate superintendent of personnel services) that our jobs are going to be eliminated.”
“These cuts have been initiated as precautionary measures to prepare for a worst case scenario,” said McNamara. "All of the proposed reductions impact our students negatively, so in the coming months we will be looking very critically at which items are the highest priority for reinstatement.”

Crysis 2

At least nowadays, "Crysis 2" is a rare breed of first-person shooter. It tells a thoroughly epic story over 12 hours instead of four and within a single game instead of across a cliffhanger-riddled trilogy. Rather than start furiously and plateau, it also continually gets better as those hours pass.
Good thing, too, because the first two hours? Not so great.
The alien invasion of New York City eventually enters full bloom, but before you face it firsthand, you'll have to contend with a private military that will kill you for your nanotechnological armor, which affords you superhuman physical abilities and the limited ability to cloak yourself and become nearly invincible.

From wikipedia:
Eliot Ness (April 19, 1903 – May 16, 1957) was an American Prohibition agent, famous for his efforts to enforce Prohibition in Chicago, Illinois, and the leader of a legendary team of law enforcement agents nicknamed The Untouchables.
Eliot Ness was born April 19, 1903 in Chicago, Illinois. He was the youngest of five siblings born to Norwegian immigrants, Peter and Emma Ness. Ness attended Christian Fenger High School in Chicago. He was educated at the University of Chicago, where he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, graduating in 1925 with a degree in business and law. He began his career as an investigator for the Retail Credit Company of Atlanta. He was assigned to the Chicago territory, where he conducted background investigations for the purpose of credit information. He returned to the University to take a course in criminology, eventually earning a Master's Degree in the field.
