This is a tad late, but I neglected to update you on Long Beach's own Jesse James, the television personality and motorcycle restorer who is competing for Donald Trump's favor this year on the reality TV show "Celebrity Apprentice." He survived the board room on Sunday's episode, so for at least one more week he'll avoiding hearing, "You're Fired!" from Trump. How is this related to education, you ask? Well, the celebrities compete for their favorite charities, and Jesse James is competing for the Long Beach Education Foundation, the nonprofit fund-raising arm of the Long Beach Unified School District. Check out a recap of the episode in this Entertainment Weekly story. Interestingly, a lot of the people who posted online comments to that EW story are pulling for James to win, it appears.
