Organizers estimate that between 700 and 800 Logan students participated in the school's International Peace Day observance on Tuesday.

Students donned t-shirts emblazoned with peace slogans and formed the peace sign with the bodies in the school's stadium.

Teacher Stephanie Papas, the driving force behind the annual observance at Logan, said she was pleased at the turn out. She estimated that between 300 and 400 students participated during the school's first lunch period, arranging themselves on the turf to spell out the words "One Day" and forming the peace sign.

Naughty Bear

Every year, a few games surface that belie the prerequisite that a game must be good in order to be any fun.

This year, the leader of that pack has to be "Naughty Bear," a thoroughly bizarre, poorly-coded and very arguably reprehensible game that might, because of how easy it is to exploit as well as how strange it is in the first place, be something you might wish to see anyway.

"Bear" stars players as the titular Naughty Bear, who, after getting ostracized by the other bears in his village, decides to turn his hurt feelings into a murderous rampage. The bears look and sound like your prototypical stuffed bears, and the village in which they live is similarly saccharine. The only difference is that players can use a range of weaponry and nearby objects — from toilets to grills — to turn the village into a crime scene. The truly skilled can even traumatize the other bears into turning on themselves.

John W. Hardrick.

From wikipedia:
John Wesley Hardrick (September 21, 1891 – October 18, 1968) was an American artist. He painted landscapes, still lifes and portraits.

Hardrick's grandfather, Shephard Hardrick, was a land-owning farmer in Kentucky who fled to Indianapolis with his family in 1871 due to activities of The Night Riders, a forerunner of the Ku Klux Klan. Hardrick's parents were Shephard Hardrick, Jr., and Georgia Etta West, who were married on October 10, 1888 and lived on South Prospect Street in Indianapolis, Indiana.
