Tree Crashes through New School Window!
Earlier this week in the library, there was an accident on N. DuPont Road, right outside our school. A light blue Sudan collided with a tree near Mr. Drakes science room. The tree subsequently fell into the science classroom. Luckily there was no one in the classroom at the time although some serious damage to the window was taken. All new windows will need to be put in Mr. Drake's room.
"Of course this would happen to me, right after I painted the room and made it look nice," Mr. Drake said, in an angry tone. Mr. Drake has been relocated to the old Adult School room upstairs until the damage is fixed. The science classes will be interesting without a lab to work in.
No one is happy about this damage, especially not Dean Rumschlag. "We just got new, expensive windows and now 4 of the are ruined because of an inattentive driver," says the Dean.
Hopefully the windows will be repaired soon. If not, the rest of this year in science will be quite an adventure. More updates on the windows will be published in the next issue.

Janitor's Go on Strike (1st april fools art/3rd mp)
This just in, the Cab Calloway janitors have gone on strike. They refuse to clean up any more messes or wipe down any more tables. After school, students have been accused of dropping trash and mainly gum wrappers on the hallway floors after the janitors leave. This creates a mess that the janitors have already cleaned up once that day but now have to clean up again the next morning.
“They leave their trash everywhere,” states one of the janitors, “one time in the boy’s bathroom there were bags of chips all over…there must have been like 50 of them!” The janitor’s are getting tired of cleaning up after everyone. Another janitor said, “We don’t want to lose our jobs, we’re simply doing this in order to teach kids a lesson about littering.”
Simply stated, they want us to live cleaner. Each day we here about the causes of global warming, littering appears in the list. Littering is one of the main causes of the ozone layer destruction, so the janitors think that if we trash the school, we’re doing the same things outside. They’re really just worried about the earth.
So kids, stop leaving your trash and gum everywhere throughout the school and throw it in a trashcan. There is at least one located in every classroom and even some in the hallways and lobby. Living cleaner benefits everyone-including you. So stop being lazy and drop your trash right in the trash can.

The Fear of Religious Persecution. (2nd arts article/3rd mp.)
Slender beams of accusation
enter this darkened hall
as I kneel,
always forlorn,
always alone,
frozen here,
waiting.
Tortured forms wrought in panes of glass
loom as dust dances in the air,
forming an image in my mind,
penetrating my darkened soul.
Terror on humanity's face.
I raise my head,
now submitting
to this uncaring
fate.

Cab Is Such a Great School *(1st arts article/3rd mp)
We may have backwards dictionaries, as well as construction all year long, but at least our mascot isn’t a calculator! We share a building between three schools-Charter School of Wilmington, Cab High School and Cab Middle School. Charter Wilmington focuses on math and science as well as having sports teams. Their mascot is a calculator. Cab, on the other hand, hasn’t got a sports team because we focus on the arts, as you should know.
Our majors include vocal, visual arts, communication arts, drama, strings, band, and piano. What a great school. Full of kids with trip pants and black high-top shoes, our school is genuinely different. We don’t wear uniforms and when you show up to school with multicolored hair and a ridiculous neon outfit, people think you’re cool. At any school other than cab, we would all be outcasts and freaks.
Cab is full of talented people. Singers, dancers, musicians, artists and writers roam the halls every day. We’re witty and sarcastic with our humor and insults but you rarely see a brawl in the hallway. Our hilarious teachers keep things funky. Have you all met Mr. Mazz, Mr. Patton and Mr. Drake?
Without out fabulous staff and students, Cab wouldn’t be as great of a school. So keep in mind how lucky we all are to go to Cab Calloway School of the Arts.

The "Fail Whale" (2nd article/3rd MP)
On Wednesday morning, January 20th, Twitter crashed. It was only down for about an hour and a half. While the site was down, users saw an extremely high volume of "whales." When Twitter crashes, the site owners have it set up to post a picture of what is appropriately names The "Fail Whale". It is simply a picture of a whale lifted slightly above the ocean with birds pullling it up via thin strings. The Fail Whale pops up whenever users try to access the site when it crashes. It has become an iconic symbol for Twitter and is a way for the site to embrace its crashing and shortcomings and turn them into a funny symbol. During the recent outage no data was lost. It was the first major outage since August when other social networking sites were also attacked and crashed. Twitter has been growing rapidly with it's number of users so the reliability needs to stay strong. "Reliability has been an ongoing project for Twitter as the service has scaled up to handle growing traffic," Rich Miller wrote. Benn Parr also said that recnet news about Haiti and the frantic status updates on that topic may have contributed to the site's crash. So next time you visit Twitter and see a "Fail Whale", you'll know that the site has crashed.
