Coraline is the first in what is sure to be a long string of animated children’s movies for 2009. But while most of these movies are computer animated and aim to copy the style of movies such as Shrek and Kung Fu Panda, Coraline is more dark and offbeat.

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez won a major victory Sunday when Venezuelans lifted term limits, permitting him to run for re-election in 2012 and perhaps beyond.

Chavez's measure won 54.3 percent of the vote, according to the national election board.

Televised images showed Chavez supporters celebrating while fireworks boomed in the Caracas sky.

Forced to deal with the local impact of California’s financial crisis even through the Legislature still can’t agree on a state budget, the Board of Education on Tuesday night accepted a recommendation for $5.9 million in reductions in the District’s proposed budgets for 2009-10 and 2010-11.

As school districts throughout the state wait for the Legislature to act on Governor Schwarzenegger’s budget proposal, which includes another huge cut to public education, New Haven has been forced to adjust its budget to account for the loss of $4 million in the current school year, $1.7 million in 2009-10 and $2.2 million in 2010-11 - on top of a $7 million hit last year.

Logan wrestling barely lost to De La Salle in the NCS Duals tournament last weekend. Logan, which has never won a duals title, was so close Saturday, but ended up losing 39-31.

Logan, the number two seed, started the day against San Leandro High School, where they won every match and moved onto the next round against Castro Valley High School. Logan started the dual by winning the first eight matches leading 44-0. They ended up losing the next two matches, at the 145 and 152-weight class, but rebounded to win every match after. Logan defeated Castro Valley 61-9 and moved to the final round, where they faced the number 1 seed, De La Salle.

“She stood apart from the rest, staring straight ahead while the light wind teased her honey blond hair out of its fancy twist. Expensive shoes, Ry noted, of supple midnight leather, as out of place in this part of town as her velvet coat and fancy face.”

Unfortunately, Ry cannot see past Natalie’s obvious wealth, and it slowly eats away at their relationship. Night Smoke is an interesting novel with fascinating characters and an exciting plot. I couldn’t put it down. While this is one of Roberts’ older novels, I believe it is one of the best.
