LOS ANGELES — State budget cuts and declines in philanthropy and endowments helped push the cost of college tuition up much higher than general inflation across the country this year, amounting to an increase of 7.9 percent at public campuses and 4.5 percent at private ones, according to a study by the nonprofit College Board.

Tuition and fees for the current school year average $7,605 for state residents at public four-year colleges and $27,293 at private institutions, according to the report released Thursday. Room and board added an average of $8,535 at public campuses and $9,700 at private schools.

In 1999, music group CKY and magazine corporation Big Brother joined forces to create the worldwide popular hit MTV show, Jackass. The boys in the show had no idea what they were getting into; one by one the guys —from stuntmen to circus clowns to just a guy who lived in a pickup truck — came together to form a strong but wacky, relationship that resulted in a crazy show that the public was not expecting.

The hit show consisted of stunts such as swallowing a live goldfish and throwing it up,running around NYC dressed up as apes bugging the public, having boxing matches in sport stores and wrestling with wild animals. None of the players had shame and they still don’t. The bigger and crazier the stunt, the better.

The Logan Varsity Football team is looking to continue its winning ways tonight, after destroying Mission Valley Athletic League rival Irvington High last weekend.

Last Friday night, the Colts piled up 48 points against the Irvington Vikings at Tak Fundenna field.

Logan won the toss and chose to receive the ball to start the first half. They scored on their very first play of the game with touchdown run from running back Miles Long.

From wikipedia:
Harriet Powers (October 29, 1837 – January 1, 1910) was an African American slave, folk artist and quilt maker from rural Georgia. She used traditional appliqué techniques to record local legends, Bible stories, and astronomical events on her quilts. Only two of her quilts have survived: Bible Quilt 1886 and Pictorial Quilt 1898. Her quilts are considered among the finest examples of nineteenth-century Southern quilting. Her work is on display at the National Museum of American History in Washington, DC and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts.

Powers was born to slaves near Athens, Georgia. For most of her life she lived in Clarke County, mainly in Sandy Creek and Buck Branch.
