Alvarado Elementary School teacher Kim Pratt has been selected to represent educators - and communicate the importance of teaching children about the environment - in a video by the production company that will release the movie “Nim’s Island” this spring.
Ms. Pratt will travel to Monterey on Monday (March 3) to be part of a live webcast from the research vessel Fulmer. The webcast, “Nim’s Island Adventure,” will explain that although Nim's Island isn’t real, students should be aware of special places in the ocean called national marine sanctuaries and be good stewards of the environment.

Let's face it - Palo Alto may not be everybody’s town (especially not a high schoolers). Many of the overpriced shops, galleries, and restaurants that line the streets of Palo Alto target the highly paid citizens of the town.
And that's fine. In fact, I'm only writing this article to remind people that there are, in fact, a few small gems hidden in the gaudy opulence of Palo Alto.
The Stanford Theater is one such treasure. I'm a junior at Logan and, for three years, I have almost bi-monthly walked along University Avenue, passed underneath the theater's marquee on my way to Pluto's or American Apparel and not stopped once to take in a film at the historic venue. Finally, last week, I decided to take advantage of Stanford Theater's Hitchcock Film Festival and bought my ticket for an evening showing of "Dial ‘M’ for Murder." It turned out to be my best cinematic experiences in years.

Overwrought Vantage Point Entertains Anyway
By Charles Yi, Courier Staff Writer
"Vantage Point", directed by Pete Travis, details the story of eight strangers with eight different points of view, each trying to piece together the truth behind an assassination attempt.
The movie takes place during a global anti-terrorism summit in Spain, when a double of President Ashton is shot. Terrorists bombard the podium and also attack the actual location of the President, who was moved due to information about a potential threat at the summit. Secret Service agent Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid), who took a bullet for the President six months prior, attempts to piece together the evidence and uncover the truth as he faces memories of the previous assassination attempt and betrayal from within the security detail.

Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, Devendra Banhart’s fifth album, still features the sort of music that have established him as a charismatic, mischievous, and nonetheless, strange figure.
When I was first introduced to him on his first album,
Oh Me Oh My. . ., as an 8th grader, Banhart came across as a somewhat creepy, supernatural figure. Soon, however, I was addicted to his folkish psychedelic nature, a leader of “freaks”, a hippy it was OK to like. I found it silly how Banhart sang of little yellow spiders and taking his teeth out dancing. Real life did not seem to stop much of his strangeness, and I was drawn into his make-believe world.

When the term "video games" comes to mind, normally people immediately think of Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, and of course, the hundred of millions of game-addicted teenage boys around the world. However, it is very rarely that people think of the casual every day gamer.
More and more, people are getting into games beyond the big name consoles. Now, thanks to rapidly developing technology, we can play games anywhere anytime, with almost anything. From playing Tetris on our cellphones to playing blocks on our iPods, everyone seems to be becoming a "casual" gamer.

"THE CLUB"
For: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC
From: Bizarre Creations/Sega
ESRB Rating: Mature (blood, strong language, violence)
"The Club" is a fun game stuck in an obnoxious game's body. And if you can will yourself into ignoring the obnoxious part — which, incidentally, is also the game's purported selling point — you might find a way to enjoy what's left.
At its base, "The Club" is a typical third-person shooter with a typical premise: stay alive and reach the end of a level — in some cases, before time runs out.
The hook, in this case, is that in addition to being shot at, you're being scored as well. "The Club" rewards you points for stylish and impressive kills, and rewards you exponentially more for stringing those kills together. Achieving a target score is as paramount as staying alive. Total mastery means constantly sprinting through the levels, taking down enemies as quickly as possible without any thought to taking cover, finding secret areas or doing other things that come naturally in other shooters.

Courier Special Correspondent
A new year means new music. With the 50th Grammy Awards just days away, it is definitely time to say goodbye to last year's music. However, it is also welcoming a warm hello to 2008's music.
One R&B singer who is starting to have success again is none other than Alicia Keys. She released her latest album, As I Am, in November 2007. Since then, she is currently riding on the two top-charting singles, "No One" and "Like You'll Never See Me Again." There is no word on her third single just yet. Keys will be touring around the world, including the U.S., throughout the first half of 2008.

Every once and awhile, a musician will create such a masterpeice that it can be transformed into a sort of motion picture called a musical. This was done in
Across the Universe, a musical based on a compilation of songs made famous by The Beatles. The
Across the Universe soundtrack was quite unnecessary.
If Beatlemania was to be revived by the "all new recordings" of the old favorites, then surely Beatlemania is in the Intensive Care Unit. On life support.

When the Game Stands Tall: The Story of the De La Salle Spartans and Football's Longest Winning Streak by Neil Hayes.
Paperback: 402 pages
Publisher: Frog Books (August 23, 2005)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1583941304
ISBN-13: 978-1583941300
From North Atlantic Books:
By 2002, The Streak—a historic 13-year run of consecutive wins by the Spartans, a high-school football team from Concord, California, that couldn't be beat—was still going strong. In this revised edition of When the Game Stands Tall, author Neil Hayes, who had unrestricted access to the De La Salle team, writes from the inside about the games, the players, and their visionary coach, Bob Ladouceur, who managed to amass the highest winning percentage in football history (.995) through standing for something greater than winning. The book, which also features interviews with major sports figures like Bill Walsh and John Gruden, is a revealing portrait of the coach who believed above all in instilling basic life skills where winning is not the goal, but merely the byproduct of playing the game.

I hail from a family of arguers. Recreational arguers, you might call them. Most would rather argue than eat. My kinfolk are the kind of people who, if you say, "White," will automatically say, "Black," even if they don't know to what you are referring.
Scratch that: Make it especially if they don't know to what you're referring.
The goal is to oppose, to counter, to rile up, to square off, to nitpick, to irk, to goad. They want to keep an argument going as long as possible, like kids on a beach vacation trying to keep a plastic ball aloft forever with a series of strategic taps. My childhood memories include the spectacle of various red-faced relatives as they wrangled over politics, sports, cars, music, war, free will versus predestination — and those were just for starters. I don't seem to have inherited that yen for contentiousness, but nor does it trouble me overmuch; the earliest lullaby cooed in the midst of my infant ears surely was a surly, "Oh, yeah? Well, lemme tell you what I think about that."

"Rez HD"
For: Xbox 360 Live Arcade
From: Q Entertainment/Microsoft
ESRB Rating: Everyone (mild violence)
Perhaps the best side effect of downloadable games coming to consoles is the second chance it affords niche games that never really had a first chance when $50 was the asking price.
The most textbook example yet may lie with "Rez HD," which resurrects a seven-year-old game in grand fashion while giving it a price tag — $10 — that's far more inviting for those who couldn't justify purchasing the Dreamcast or Playstation 2 versions.

“Step Up 2 The Streets” is the follow-up to the smash hit “Step Up,” which was in theaters August 2006. Unlike the original where the main character was a male (Channing Tatum), the sequel stars a teenage girl named Andie (Briana Evigan), who is a member of the 4-1-0, a hip hop dancing crew that is known to be the best in their neighborhood. Having just lost her mom to cancer, Angie refuses to behave, spending too many nights competing in underground dance battles called the Streets.

It should be a no-brainer.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the biggest-selling album in music history by reworking several of its best-known hits with today's hottest singers and producers should really be a sure thing.
And it would be — if it didn't involve Michael Jackson.
However, with the high-profile reissue of "Thriller" (Epic) Tuesday, it appears the King of Pop is ready to recapture his crown, after his acquittal of child molestation charges in 2005 and years of unusual behavior that has eroded his once-mighty fan base.

Sometimes, all it takes is one idea and some very good timing.

Gamers starved for some simple, familiar puzzle action will find absolutely that with "Bunnies," which apes the match-same-colored-falling-blocks-to-clear-them genre about as well as one could without having to pay royalties.

A beautiful story about love, loss and a journey for forgiveness, Atonement is perhaps one of the finest depictions of the strength of the human heart. Set in
the mid 1930's and spanning to the early 1940's the film fully embraces the decadent air with costume designs, sets, locations, and overall beautiful cinematography.

"Rocket Science", released in August of 2007, has been available on DVD since January 28, 2008. Many actors that star in this dramatic comedy are from the small screen, such as Reece Thompson, who plays the main character, and his eventual accomplice, Nicholas D’Agosto.
The film begins with the downfall of D’Agosto’s character, Ben Wekselbaum, and the ending of the relationship between Hal Hefner’s (Thompson) parents. A symbolism is noted as both Ben and Hal, who don't know each other, are silenced at the same time; Ben at a Forensics tournament, with his almost winning speech, and Hal with his family problems.

The soundtrack of the movie
Once is more than just a soundtrack made to fit a film. On its own, it is one of the most inspirational and true albums that I have ever had to the pleasure of hearing. All songs were written and sung by Glen Hansard of The Frames, and Markéta Irglová, a Czech Rebublican-born immigrant.
Both starred in the movie as well and have been dating for a few years. Hansard provides music on the guitar while Irglová accompanies him on the piano.

With the introduction of next-gen gaming consoles like the XBOX 360 and the Playstation 3, it is without doubt that gamers will discover a massive number of new racing titles.
One of the most well-advertised releases out there is “Need for Speed: Prostreet” by EA Games. Fans of past titles such as NFS: Most Wanted or NFS: Carbon wil surely appreciate the refinement and graphical detail of this next-gen console game, but those new to the series will most likely be attracted to the EA’s new direction in the “Need for Speed” series: track racing and real aftermarket tuning.
