"Left 4 Dead"
Reviewed for: Xbox 360

From: Valve
ESRB Rating: Mature (blood and
gore, intense violence, language)
The honeymoon between gaming and zombie apocalypses is borderline ridiculous right now, with zombies making cameos in everything from "World of Warcraft" to "Grand Theft Auto" to "Call of Duty."
But while those franchises simply toss out a zombified mode and fight for position on the bed of the bandwagon, Valve heads straight for the driver's seat and emerges with the best zombie apocalypse simulator in all of gaming.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Joe Perri had big college dreams.
He wanted to pursue a degree in photography from an arts school.
He and his family saved, hunted for scholarships and applied for financial aid, but they eventually realized they simply couldn't find enough help to offset the $40,000-a-year cost for his first choice schools — the California Institute of the Arts and Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Fla.
"It was a big bummer, but I understand," said Perri, 18, who graduated from high school in Coconut Creek, Fla. "You get accepted to this big school, and you get so excited, but then your parents start throwing reality at you. We don't have that much money."

Logan's up and down varsity football season came to an end Saturday, as the team ran out of gas against Freedom of Oakley.
The No. 12 seed Logan (5-6) faced off against the No. 5 seed Freedom in the first round of the NCS playoffs. It looked to be a good game as Logan came in with the top defense in MVAL and Freedom came in with top offense in their league. At halftime, the game was close and it seemed it could go either way.

Food. Fire. Fun. Carino's Italian restaurant's appeal. They're real appeal is their service. Instantly as you walk in you are greeted and seated. The wait for a table is not that long and if you need reservations, a party of eight or more is required.
The cuisine prepared is as authentic as most Italian restaurants but the selection of food is quite a load. Family platters range from $20-$30 and can feed a table of four or more. Their Panini sandwiches come with freshly made potato chips, and everyone is served unlimited breadsticks with a side of olive oil. Itallian and cream sodas are a part of the regular drink menu along with other beverages. The menu has selections that are kid-friendly, vegetarian-friendly, diet-friendly and gluten-free meals. The house specialties include chicken and seafood favorites.

A few weeks ago, my family took me to Milpitas to eat at Macaroni Grill. As soon as I walked in, the restaurant was crowded. The decor was simple, yet modern at the same time. Since there were so many people waiting for a table, some of them were forced to wait outside. After about twenty minutes or so, our table was finally ready.

Last weekend was my cousin’s 22nd birthday, and my aunt arranged for all of our relatives to have lunch at Tracy Thai on Sunday afternoon. Not a bad way to spend my Sunday afternoon – eating lunch with my family on a relatively sunny day. Now my aunt has been known to introduce my relatives to new restaurants. We’ve tried out many places from sushi houses to Mexican restaurants. As my parents and I were on our way to my cousin’s birthday lunch, I wondered what was in store for today’s meal.

The Great American Smokeout is Nov. 20, but I think it should be observed every day of the year. Not only is smoking harmful to humans, it also hurts animals. The next time you're dying for a cigarette, remember that your friends, your relatives, your animal companions and animals in laboratories all suffer when you smoke. That will help deaden your desire for nicotine.
By now, we all know the health risks associated with smoking. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, men who smoke are 22 times more likely to die of lung cancer than those who don't. Female smokers are 12 times more likely to die of lung cancer than female nonsmokers. Smokers also have a higher risk of getting at least eight other cancers, two to four times the risk of developing coronary heart disease and twice the likelihood of having a stroke. About 90 percent of all deaths from chronic obstructive lung diseases are attributed to smoking.

Mishon "Excuse Me Mama" is yet another song about a boy who meets a girl and is automatically
attracted her. Though it may seem cliché at first, the song has a very infectious tune that gets stuck in one's head. Not to mention the fact that the singing in it self is not all that bad. Mishon has a certian charm in his singing. It's almost as if you can feel his innocence through his voice.

The Board of Education on Tuesday night received the first quarterly report for Year 3 implementation of the New Haven Strategic Plan, highlighted by a presentation on a summer-school pilot program to assist at-risk students.
The Strategic Plan, the community’s vision for New Haven Unified, was created by more than 160 students, parents, teachers, classified employees, principals, administrators and community members during the 2006-06 school year. It consists of 54 “specific actions” being implemented under five strategies designed to help the District meet three objectives: 85 percent proficiency by the end of the 2010-11 academic year; the development of character attributes reflective of productive, responsible and successful citizens; and the meeting of graduation requirements or IEP goals by all students.

The Paid Companion

Courier Editor-in-Chief
“They had labeled the one that had come before him a madman and refused to acknowledge his genius. But this time matters would unfold in a very different fashion.
When he had finished constructing the deadly device and demonstrated its enormous destructive energy, all of England, indeed all of Europe would be forced to hail the second Newton in its midst.”
So believes the villain of this novel. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t take the combined powers of Elenora Lodge and Arthur, the Earl of St. Merryn, into account. This was the first novel I read by Amanda Quick (a.k.a. Jayne Anne Krentz) and I was hooked right away. I was so hooked, as a matter of fact, that I went on to read every single title under the Quick pseudonym. It is excellently written and I enjoyed it from front to back—over and over and over again.

Star Tribune (Minneapolis) (MCT)
MINNEAPOLIS — Wally Lamb's new novel, 450,000 copies of which have just arrived in bookstores, is big enough to threaten Thanksgiving and maybe even Christmas, as readers ignore turkey basting and tinsel tossing to turn the 723 wide-ranging, heavily plotted pages of "The Hour I First Believed."
Lamb writes big books. And popular ones. Oprah Winfrey famously pulled an all-nighter reading Lamb's first novel, "She's Come Undone," the painful, funny coming-of-age saga of Dolores Price. She later included its paperback version and Lamb's 900-page second novel, "I Know This Much Is True," in her Book Club, a bestowal that invariably sends the anointed novel on a rocket ride.

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.”

For those who missed the after school University of California workshop, here is a summary of the meeting that was conducted by Theresa Vidaurri, an Early Academic Outreach Program representative. A personal statement is used to give context to a student¢s life as well as depth to the student¢s profile. It is your chance to reveal information that your test scores and grades cannot show statement readers. The UC Personal Statement is not about being flowery or excessively wordy because that becomes a waste of words. Do not attempt to be funny or clever, but do be sincere and use your words to advance your arguments.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Bay Area futurists and their fans gathered Sunday in a coming-of-age celebration for the fledgling field of synthetic biology, which builds living entities from lifeless chemicals.
With its young roots firmly secured in Bay Area universities, this new science aims to transform genetic approaches to research in medicine, energy and agriculture — building microbes that kill cancer, yeast that produces fuel or spiders that spin Kevlar-strength thread.

And our defense blanked them, not allowing a single score.

Logan got the big win they needed Saturday on the last game of the regular season to keep their postseason hopes alive.
Logan (5-5, 5-1) got the scoring going early against Irvington (4-6, 2-4) when Kyle Lopez took a handoff 18-yards for the score. On the next drive, quarterback Jonathon Willis turned a scramble into a 30-yard run that resulted in a touchdown. Nate Medhane got into the mix, when Willis him hit for a 27 –yard touchdown pass.

From wikipedia:
Jesse Stone (born Atchison, Kansas, 16 November 1901 - died Altamonte Springs, Florida, 1 April 1999) was an American rhythm and blues musician and songwriter whose influence spanned a wide range of genres. He also used the pseudonyms Charles Calhoun and Chuck Calhoun. Ahmet Ertegün stated that "Jesse Stone did more to develop the basic rock 'n' roll sound than anybody else."
Stone grew up in Kansas where he was influenced by a wide array of styles. He came from a musical family who put on minstrel shows, and performed with a trained dog act at the age of 4. By 1926 he had formed a group, the Blue Serenaders, and cut his first record, "Starvation Blues", for Okeh Records in 1927. For the next few years he worked as a pianist and arranger in Kansas City, recording with Julia Lee among others, and then in the 1930s organised a larger orchestra.

To be blunt, instead of burning gas to go to Darda Seafood restaurant in Milpitas, go to a local eatery. The reason for this is not due to one specific flaw, but an array of faults and problems.

Courier Book Editor
Something was after me, I could feel it. Deep darkness was surrounding me, trying to find me, to envelop me. I tried to make the rune signs for protection, but I couldn't lift my hands: my fingers weren't working. I'd been bound, just as Cal had bound me to entrap me. Smoke and flames burned in the back of my throat, and I heard a voice screaming, 'Not again!' somehow I knew the voice belonged to my birth mother, Maeve. Then faces rose up out of the smothering darkness: Selene and Cal. I begged them to leave me alone. I pushed my lips together tightly, knowing, somehow, that they wanted me to breathe in the darkness, wanted it to become a part of me. Just as I felt myself about to suffocate, I saw a tiny sliver of light. The faces of Cal and Selene dissolved as the light approached. And then I began to see a new face in its midst. Hunter.
For all of you who have been following my reviews of Cate Tiernan's series
Sweep, we are now on book 5 of 14. As we learned in my last book review, book four left us with more questions and concerns and few answers.

The Runaway Princess
by Christina Dodd
Mass Market Paperback: 384 pages
Publisher: Avon (February 9, 1999)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0380802929
ISBN-13: 978-0380802920“She’d seen pictures of princes in her books. Lots of them. Princes wore capes lined with robin’s egg blue silk that they threw carelessly over one shoulder. They wore velvet capes trimmed with soft feathers. They trod so lightly that the ground was grateful to hold their weight. They were slender, graceful—and charming.”
Unfortunately for Evangeline Scoffield, Prince Danior is none of these things, but that is not the worst part. He also rudely calls her a liar merely because he refuses to believe that she is not his long-lost princess. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel—especially since Danior is my kind of “prince charming”—and keep going back to it. The characters are enjoyable, the plot is exciting and the chemistry is real. Add in a bit of interesting history since this book is set in 1816 and you get a great romance. It beats one of those unoriginal fairy tales any day.

4-5
With a win Saturday night over the Kennedy Titans, the Logan Colts improved their record to 4-5.
It was a very hard fought game and when the defense gave up a score with about 2 minutes left, I thought the game was over. That may be a little harsh to say, but our offense hasn’t proven they can score much let alone in a timely fashion.
But, boy, did they prove me wrong.

"Spider-Man: Web of Shadows"
Reviewed for: Xbox 360 and Playstation 3
Also available for: Playstation 2, PC,
Nintendo Wii, PSP, Nintendo DS
From: Treyarch/Shaba/Activision
ESRB Rating: Teen (animated blood, drug
reference, mild language, mild suggestive
themes, violence)
In "Spider-Man: Web of Shadows," you star as Spider-Man and enjoy unlimited liberty to swing around New York City to whatever degree you please ... just as you could in last year's "Spider-Man 3." Oh, and "Spider-Man 2" before that. Doesn't Spidey ever do any traveling beyond the city limits?
But while a change of venue would've been nice, doing away with the sloppy hand-to-hand combat and dull mission objectives that bogged down those other two games is paramount.
On both fronts, "Shadows" scores direct hits. Spider-Man's combat repertoire always has been expansive, but "Shadows" is the first game that not only gives the moves the oomph they deserve, but removes any static between what you're trying to do and what Spidey does. "Shadows" mixes land, air, web and even wall-mounted combat in some pretty liberating ways, and practically every move in the arsenal controls and feels as it should.

BANGALORE, India — When 15-year-old Tara Kola talks about life in her new home, she sounds like an exile.
Two years after the pull of global economic opportunities lured her family from Saratoga, Calif., the teen feels trapped in a foreign land. To take one example, her school requires students to address instructors as "Sir" or "Miss," wear uniforms with ties (even the girls) — and a name tag.
"How many California schools make you wear a dog tag?" she asks.

"On Day One, with the stroke of a pen, you can restore America's moral leadership in the World," says the full-page six-figure ad purchased by the American Civil Liberties Union. The Miami Herald got an exclusive sneak peek on Sunday.

James Logan's varsity football team (4-5, 4-1), coming off a heartbreaking loss against Washington last week, did not want to let up against Kennedy's team (4-5, 4-2), which has not put up the toughest games against Logan in the past.

On Tuesday, California voters gave chickens rights and took away rights of human beings.
Never before in history has a California constitutional amendment taken away rights from the people, because it is supposed to restore rights to them.
During a discussion with me, a teacher said that having gay marriages be legal somehow lead to other wholesale social changes that we might end up with slavery, again.

Horace Mann Bond (November 8, 1905 – December 21, 1972) was an American educator, academic administrator, writer, and the father of civil-rights leader Julian Bond. He earned a master's and doctorate from University of Chicago, at a time when only a small percentage of any young adults attended college. He was an influential leader at several historically black colleges and was appointed the first president of Fort Valley State University in Georgia in 1939, and the first African-American president of Lincoln University, Pennsylvania in 1945.

Whether it’s rain or shine, the SF Museum of Modern Art is a trip worth taking.
The museum has art that is truly unique. Pieces ranging from paintings and sculptures to design and photography provide a whole new perspective on self-expression. Seeing as it is modern art, some creations are as simple as triangles or out of norm such as air conditioners stacked on top of each other. Nonetheless the art expresses techniques and opinions of the modern era.

Santa Clara's Great America tried something new this October. The usual family environment amusement park was turned into Halloween Haunt.
As part this new Halloween extravaganza, Great America had its employees dress up in frightening costumes to scare the public. In addition, there were certain areas designated as the “scare zones” specifically made for the employees to scare all. However, if a person became afraid, there were areas where the public would be in the “safe zone.” This included the first aid station and the restrooms. Also, in case an individual wanted to prepare themselves, the fog would indicate that that is where the monsters are more likely to be.

There are a raft of guest stars on "Evolver," John Legend's follow-up to 2006's "Once Again."
Fortunately, Legend's own considerable talents form the foundation for these 13 songs, which don't really need any additional boost from A-listers such as Kanye West, OutKast's Andre 3000 and Brandy.

Q-TIP "The Renaissance"
Grade: B-plus
It's hard to believe it's been nine years since Q-Tip's first — and, technically, only — solo album, "Amplified," considering how much he has to say and how well he says it. And one spin through "The Renaissance" (Universal Motown) will have everyone wondering how he could have stayed away so long.

CHICAGO — There's a maxim in American politics about young people. Every year, there's a candidate who counts on them to finally vote in force. And every year, that candidate loses.
Until this year.
The youth vote came out strong for Barack Obama on Tuesday, perhaps in near-record numbers. Thanks to that — and to the black vote, and the Latino vote and the yuppie vote — the Illinois senator is on his way to the White House.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — For same-sex couples, the roller coaster ride for the right to marry shifted Wednesday from the rough and tumble of a political campaign back to the California Supreme Court.
And the fate of gay marriage in this torn state is as murky as ever.
"It's very hard to predict what the court will do," said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California-Irvine Law School. "This is an issue where there isn't enough law to make a prediction."

Jon McLaughlin-OK Now
Island Records
Jon McLaughlin is back, with a a new hit single "Beating My Heart" of his second record "OK Now".
The last time we saw Jon McLaughlin, the singer/songwriter was performing his Oscar nominated song "So Close" from the Disney Movie "Enchanted". Since then, the twenty-five-year-old McLaughlin has gone back to the recording studio to undergo both a musical and stylistic transformation. With the help of his new producer John Fields (Rooney, Jonas Brothers), co-writing with Jason Reeves (Colbie Callait's "Bubbly"), writer/producers Tricky and The Dream (Rihanna's "Umbrella"), Troy Verges (Kenny Chesney's "You Save Me"), and Brett James (Carrie Underwood's "Jesus Take the Wheel"), McLaughlin achieves his new sound.

ISBN-10: 0141311126
ISBN-13: 978-0141311128"Cal had used spells on me tonight, spells of binding so I couldn't move. Why? So I wouldn't interfere in his battle with Hunter? So I wouldn't be hurt? Or because he didn't trust me? Well, if he hadn't trusted me before, he knew better now. I clamped my teeth together on a semihysterical giggle. It wasn't every girl who would throw a Wiccan ceremonial dagger into the neck of her boyfriend's enemy.
Dark Magick is book four of 14 (plus a bonus novel) of the
Sweep series by Cate Tiernan. So far in the series, Morgan, our main character, found out she is a blood witch, she is adopted, and that her real parents were burned to death when they were locked in a barn.

As a first time voter, I had mixed feelings about this election.
I declared myself as an independent and never thought I would get involved with politics, since I see and experience the economic crisis that truly is affecting everyone, I have started to pay more attention to the daily news and tried to find out how we got into this situation.

President-elect Barack Obama
U.S. Senate photo
CHICAGO — When the first Obama supporters cleared the metal detectors at Grant Park at a little after 6 p.m. on election night, they burst into a run across the open grass, some elbowing each other to get as close to the stage as the barricades allowed.
Many thought this would be the biggest thing they saw in their lives.

From the African-American Registry:
Theodore McNeal was born on this date in 1905. He was an African-American Union organizer and politician.
From Helena, Arkansas, after graduating from high school in his hometown, he moved to St. Louis working at a ceramics and brick plant. A few years later, he took a temporary position working on a Pullman car. In 1930 McNeal was one of the first St. Louis-area Pullman-car workers to join the International Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Seven years later, McNeal and other union officials succeeded in signing a hard-earned contract between the Pullman Company and the brotherhood, a promised agreement between a large American company and a predominantly Black union.

Some James Logan students who are 18 years old are casting their first votes in today's election.
"It feels good to have a voice. It is one thing to listen to the news, but it's different being a part of it," said Justin Santos, a senior.
Eighteen-year-olds have had the right to vote since 1972, when President Richard Nixon the 26th Amendment, which lowered to voting age from 21 to 18.

The James Logan high School administration has been cooking up a new system that will be very bad news to class cutters and tardy students. The school's new Automated Dialer System, known as ParentLink, will soon be up and running, reporting all tardy and uncleared absences that day to parents via phone.
Last year the previous automated attendance machine, which notified parents, was broken beyond repair. This opened an opportunity to retire the flawed machine, and replace it with a new system.

An African elephant
Elephants in Kenya are sending text messages to rangers to warn them if they get too close to villages.
Its a new sort of security system put in place by the Save the Elephants group, which works by setting up a virtual fence around villages using a global positioning system.
Whenever an elephant crosses this "fence", coming too close to the village, sensors in the elephant's collar detect it and send a text message to the phone of a local ranger, who then drives to where the elephant is and scares it away with the car's headlights.

"Fallout 3"
For: Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC
From: Bethesda Game Studios
ESRB Rating: Mature (blood and gore,
intense violence, sexual themes,
strong language, use of drugs)
Like an increasing number of games sophisticated enough to do so, "Fallout 3" trades in conscience, delivering one moral quandary after another and letting players tell the story on their own terms.
On paper alone, it's impressive. Bethesda claims "Fallout 3" has more than 200 possible end scenarios, and it's easy to see why. Your playing field — post-nuclear Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas — is gargantuan, and while a few linchpin characters are off-limits for storyline purposes, the overwhelming majority of them are fair game for whatever degree of good or evil (including death) you wish to impose. Between the lengthy main story and the ridiculous bounty of optional side missions, it's a given your character has so many possible fates.

Jim Lehrer doesn't Twitter. At least, not yet.
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.

On September 17, Rodriguez was severely injured when he was monitoring the lot by the bandroom after school. Rodriguez spotted a car in the area that was not supposed to be there and attempted to stop the car. Instead of stopping, the car hit Rodriguez, the impact causing him to fall down a nearby stairway, causing extensive knee damage as well as more minor injuries.

Senior night…
Our senior’s last home game took place Friday against Washington. It was a very hard fought game, but we just couldn’t pull out a victory. Our offense was only able to score seven points, which would have been enough if our defense didn’t give up a touchdown and a two-point conversion in the 4th quarter. The final score was 14-7. It was very sad and frustrating knowing our season isbasically over now.

Until Friday, James Logan had not lost in the Mission Valley Athletic League in their last 18 games. The result: the Colts have not missed out on the Northern California Section playoffs since 1998.
Friday night they lost to Washington and most likely ended their NCS playoff chances for the year.
This was the biggest game of the year so far for Logan (3-5, 3-1) and Washington (5-4, 5-0) as they both entered the cold, rainy, Halloween night undefeated in league and with a chance to clinch a MVAL crown.
