A student wants to learn Adobe Photoshop Elements, so she can include pictures in a report. A teacher wants to insert charts in the PowerPoint presentation he is preparing for his classroom. A mother wants to know more about the blogs that her son has been reading every night.

Or, just for fun, someone wants to create a playlist in iTunes or compose a new song in GarageBand.

Students, teachers and parents in the New Haven Unified School District can learn all of the above and much more - for free - just by going online.

With a last minute decision to eat out with a few friends on a late school night, we finally decided upon Tammada Thai Cuisine. I had been there once before, but my other two friends had never tried Thai food so we decided to add another cuisine to our eating belts (which are probably stretched to the max by now). It was around 6:30 in the evening and already dark outside by the time we all made it to the restaurant. There were only about two or three other groups inside the restaurant, so we were given menus and seated right away.

While some might expect this movie's 'one man, eight women' scenario to be a documentary on polygamy, the French movie, 8 Femmes, is actually a musical whodunit.

There are quite a few things that need to be cleared up, however. First of all, that one man has just been murdered at the beginning of the film. Second, those eight women are comprised of his wife, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, sister, two teenaged daughters, a housekeeper, and a chambermaid. One lonely man in the midst of eight either estrogen overflowing or deprived women. Do we even need to ask who or what did the poor guy in? Alas, it is not PMS, nor is his murder the result of a hot flash gone seriously out of control.

Angela Yvonne Davis (born January 26, 1944 in Birmingham, Alabama) is an African American communist organizer and philosopher who was associated with the Black Panther Party in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the Communist Party of the United States of America. She first achieved nationwide notoriety when she was linked to the murder of judge Harold Haley during an attempted Black Panther prison break; she fled underground, and was the subject of an intense manhunt. After 18 months as a fugitive, she was captured, arrested, tried, and eventually acquitted in one of the most famous trials in recent U.S. history. She is currently Professor of History of Consciousness at the University of California and Presidential Chair at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She works for racial and gender equality and for prison abolition. Davis is a founder of Critical Resistance.
