Thousands of Logan students and staff, and some parents, too, joined together on the Big Green to eat, sing, dance and generally have a great time at the second annual Unity Fair today.

"It's awesome," said Logan teacher Linda Rodrigues after visiting the fair during first lunch. "It's better organized than last year and there's more diversity. It brings together the Logan coummunity of students, teachers and parents."

The Courier, James Logan's student news publication, reached a new milestone Wednesday when it had more than 1,000 daily visitors to its website for the first time.

Meanwhile, with the approaching end of the school year bringing the graduation of several of its key personnel, the publication's advisor issued an appeal for Logan students to join the staff next year, or now.

Country Way
5325 Mowry Ave
Fremont, CA 94538

After hearing all the hype about Country Way, I could not help but give into
it. So, my friend and I decided to brunch there on a Tuesday, in hopes of
avoiding the weekend rush. Unfortunately, even at 10:30 in the morning,
there were swarms of people congregating at the door. The limited space in
the parking lot did not make matters any better because not only were most
of the parking spaces filled up, but it was very cramped (to the point where
I could barely open my car door and have enough space to get out of it).

This was just the beginning of our horrible experience at Country Way.

After having to wake up at 5 AM last Friday to catch a flight with my family
to Portland, Oregon, I have come to two conclusions. First of all, it is
obscene to make a human being get out of bed before the sun comes up
(especially a senior who is used to late arrival and getting to school
at 9:06 AM). Second of all, eat something before you get on the plane.
Chances are the mid‑flight snack of a beverage and a pack of two cookies
just won't cut it (I'm sure the flight attendants would appreciate it if you didn't end up gnawing on your seat cushion).




Omar Khayyam, born: May 18, 1048 in Nishapur, Iran (Persia) – died: December 4, 1131), was a Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher and astronomer. He is best known for the collection of poetry, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

The architecture of his shrine is like a tent because his ancestors' occupation was tentmaking. Some of his poems have been written on the walls surrounding the shrine. His shrine is in a garden that Imamzadeh Mahroq Mosque is placed there as well, about 100 meters near his shrine.
