Cambios en la escuela nocturna El cambio de hora en que empiezan las clases de la escuela nocturna fue aprobada por la Junta de Educación. Anteriormente las clases empezaban a las 5:55 p.m. hasta las 9:35 p.m. Ahora inician a las 4:30 y terminan a las 8:00 p.m. Esta decisión tomó efecto este semestre y refuerza la iniciative implementada este año para aumentar el rigor académico y de esa manera contratar maestros certificados para enseñar en la escuela nocturna en Blair. Esta iniciativa añade más contenido a los currículos. Además de mejorar el currículo, ahora hay más atención en otras áreas como la pérdida de crédito y en el aumento de seguridad en la escuela.

Arenas, Jamison both very worthy All-Stars

Any one who saw Gilbert Arenas light up the Indiana Pacers for 43 points on Monday, Feb. 7 surely must agree that he's an All-Star. Arenas' 24.7 points per game are more than worthy of some accolade, and a chance to shine as an Eastern Conference reserve will do the trick.

George Washington Carver

By Varun Gulati | Feb. 8, 2005, midnight | In Print »

George Washington Carver led an extraordinary life, ever since his childhood. Born to enslaved parents, Carver was kidnapped by Confederates but was returned to his home on a Missouri farm, allegedly in exchange for a racehorse. He was crippled by an illness that prevented him from working on the field, but Carver continued to spend his time examining crops even so. This began Carver's interest in agriculture, the field where he later sought to further his education.

It's a touchdown for McCartney

By Grace Harter | Feb. 8, 2005, midnight | In Print »

For those not so sports-inclined, the Super Bowl is about two things: the halftime show and the creative advertisements. This year, thank goodness, was a great deal less controversial than the embarrassment that was Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson's halftime show last year. Former Beatle Paul McCartney was wisely chosen as this year's halftime show entertainment-- a good choice, considering his legend enables him to carry the halftime show by himself and he manages to put on a good show without resorting to blatant sexuality and lewdness.
