James Logan's administrators donned aprons and took up cooking utensils Friday morning to prepare breakfast for the school's staff.

Dozens of the school's classified and certificated staff jammed the staff lounge to partake in the morning repast, which included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, fruits, breads and juices.

The festivities started at 7:15 a.m. and continued until 8:45 a.m.

Even a broken arm could not keep James Logan alumni and Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl safety, Roy Williams, from smiling.

“I’m happy to be back at Logan and I’m glad I can open up to the students,” says Williams. “I’ve spoken to crowds before, but I’m still nervous because I’m back in my old school.”

Roy could not help but mention his past and how happy it makes him today. “It makes me feel good to know that I can make it; even though people have told me I can’t.”

But Lee Banville has hopes. As editor of the 12-year-old "Online NewsHour," Banville bridges the gap between traditional PBS viewers and twentysomethings who want news on demand.

On election night, while Lehrer is anchoring coverage on PBS, Banville and his "Online" team will be reaching out to an audience that's not necessarily anchored to the sofa. That means not just delivering election news to computers and phones and streaming "NewsHour" coverage on the website (www.pbs.org/newshour) but also partnering with YouTube on a video project and embracing Twitter as a reporting tool.
