The James Logan Varsity Football team(1-4), coming off their first win of the season last week against Newark, felt they had turned the corner. Plus, they were playing in front of a big crowd and on Comcast Sports Net, so this game was expected to be a good game and it was.

However, the Colts lost.

BILOXI, Miss. — Elementary and high schools must educate students so they can compete globally, not just locally, Mississippi Superintendent of Education Hank Bounds said Friday. He said an important part of education today includes economics.

Bounds was the keynote speaker at the National Council on Economic Education's annual conference, and he said students need to learn about the economy beginning in kindergarten.

"Economic education can't be a one-shot deal," he said. "I would consider good economic skills to be as important as any other work-force skills."

From wikipedia:
Ann Petry (October 12, 1908 – April 28, 1997) was an African American author.

Ann Lane was born as the youngest of three daughters to Peter Clark Lane and Bertha James Lane in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. Her parents belonged to the Black minority of the small town. Her father was a pharmacist and her mother was a shop owner, chiropodist, and hairdresser. Ann and her sister were raised “in the classic New England tradition: a study in efficiency, thrift, and utility (…) They were filled with ambitions that they might not have entertained had they lived in a city along with thousands of poor blacks stuck in demeaning jobs.”
