PV High physics teacher James Warren walked in to his physics AP class last Thursday about half an hour late--only to receive surprised applause after being absent for close to two weeks.
Eleven days earlier, a Sunday at approximately 2:15 p.m., Warren was hit by a car while riding his bicycle on Hawthorne Boulevard near the Peninsula Center. He was taken to the emergency room, where doctors kept him in the hospital overnight and eventually found that he had four broken ribs and had suffered a concussion. The force of the car had cracked the back of his helmet.
“I am so glad I wore [my helmet],” Warren said of the protective headgear that may have saved his life.
He declined to comment on the actual accident for legal reasons.

Did 2012 come early? Well it sure felt like it during finals week, and the rain doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon. Considering we just received the most rain ever in our recent memories, there must have been something crazy that happened. Well there was a lot that happened.
Besides the wind-tunnel touching down in Huntington Beach and the multiple flood and mud slide warnings, there were some major problems at the school. There was severe soppage, if not near-flooding, almost every day during finals week.
“The 200-300 block had water so high that if we hadn’t acted immediately it would have flooded the classrooms. That would’ve cost a lot of money to fix...more than was spent trying to unclog all the drains in the school,” explained the maintenance staff.
