Oh, the irony. We thought only students can cause major problems at school, but the school itself has proved us wrong. Over the course of final semester of last year and first quarter of 2008 at James Logan High, many changes have occurred, few of them positive.

Numerous electives (Creative writing!) have been eliminated and the teaching staff has been reduced, leading to an overflow of students in nearly every classroom.

But before we get into the actual problems of the current school year, one major part of school that Logan messed up on was the schedules.

When movie critics talk about an action-adventure flick that really throws viewers into the picture, they often refer to it as a "roller-coaster ride."

It's been that way since 1952, when an amazing movie process called Cinerama — using a wraparound screen with a three-camera/three-projector array — was introduced with a production called "This Is Cinerama." The film's opening and most buzzed-about segment was a roller-coaster ride so realistic it made some viewers scream and sent others lurching for the exits in a fit of nausea.

For something that so obviously wants to take video game horror to new frontiers, "Dead Space" isn't terribly frightening.

Or rather, that's what the opening sequence would have you believe.

Let there be no confusion: Some real scares pop up in "Space's" maiden hour, which provides a great introduction to what quickly establishes itself as one of gaming's most promising sci-fi universes. But that same period unleashes an abundance of ammunition and health packs _ considerably more than is needed to dispatch the nasty but rather weak mutants it tosses your way.

b>Amy Euphemia Jacques Garvey (December 31, 1895–July 25, 1973), born to George Samuel and Charlotte Henrietta (South) Jacques, in Kingston, Jamaica.

Amy Jacques Garvey was one of the pioneer Black women journalists and publishers of the 20th century, a fact that is often overlooked by historians. She came to New York in 1917 and soon after became involved with publishing of The Negro World newspaper in Harlem from its inception in August 1918. She became the second wife of Negro World publisher, Pan-Africanist and UNIA-ACL President General Marcus Garvey when they married on July 27, 1922, having been Amy Ashwood's bridesmaid at Marcus' first wedding. During her tenure from 1924 to 1927 as a Negro World Associate Editor, Amy Jacques Garvey added a page called "Our Women and What They Think". She is mother to Garvey's two sons, Marcus Jr. and Julius.
