Blazers let another slip by

By Ellie Blalock | Feb. 15, 2005, midnight | In Print »

FEB. 15, NELSON H. KOBREN MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM- The Blazers seemed to finally be turning their season around after defeating Sherwood and then Richard Montgomery, both strong squads, by margins of 28 and ten, respectively. However, after losing to powerhouse Gaithersburg Feb. 10, the girls seem to have returned to their old ways: remaining neck-and-neck with their opponents, pulling ahead for what looks like an easy win and finally watching it all fall apart in disastrous fourth quarters.

When paychecks go poof!

By Amanda Lee | Feb. 15, 2005, midnight | In Print »

At first glance, senior Tu Dang's small bedroom, punctuated with framed photographs and cluttered corners, seems like that of any typical teenage girl. But wait -- there's a $600 silver Gucci purse draped over a hook on the wall. And a $1,200 Louis Vuitton purse on her nightstand. Not to mention a matching $285 Louis Vuitton belt tangled in a pile of accessories next to the laundry basket.

Louis Armstrong

By Alexander Gold | Feb. 15, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Jazz legend Louis Armstrong, also known as Satchmo, was born into poverty in 1901 in New Orleans. He had a rough childhood and was sent to "James Home for Colored Waifs," an institution dedicated to reforming troublesome youth, after he fired a pistol into the air on New Years Eve; he was only 11 years old. While there, Armstrong started playing the cornet in the home's brass band. After about 18 months, Armstrong was released, and he started playing at clubs with his mentor Joe "King" Oliver, one of the first jazz musicians.
