Spread the word Wolfgang Petersen's brilliantly terrifying film about a deadly virus coughs up a cast to die for
More from My guilty pleasure
Imagine how much scarier Jaws would be if Jaws could fly. And was invisible. And if he multiplied at an alarming rate and spread all over America killing every single American, and then set his sights on the rest of the world. It would be incredibly scary, and what's more, you don't have to imagine. This brilliant, terrifying film was released in 1995 and I've seen it about 20 times since. My commitment is testament to the genius of Outbreak or "the Jaws of the 90s" as its director Wolfgang Petersen called it.
Outbreak is the story of the fictional "Motaba" virus, which is like Ebola only So Much Worse. First you get pale lips, red-rimmed eyes and a sweaty face, which represent horrible flu-like symptoms. Within »

The Overlooked Hotel, having found a spare room for Stephen Tobolowsky, now welcomes another deserving guest, the late, great Jt Walsh. You know, that really talented guy from that thing you really like.
Jt Walsh, in many ways the definitive supporting character actor, passed away suddenly in 1998. He succumbed to a heart attack at the relatively tender age of 54, but left behind a quite astonishingly varied and accomplished body of work, despite never being nominated for anything other than a Primetime Emmy and a couple of SAG cast awards. If nothing else, this amply demonstrates that far too often, real talent goes unrewarded and although (of course) not every0ne can be lavished with awards and in any given year the same performance is likely to hoover up every award going, the fact that Walsh never received an Oscar, Golden Globe or SAG award (or even a solo nomination) is a glaring omission. »

As of Sunday night, Andy Samberg has a Golden Globe but Kevin Spacey still doesn't. Indeed, these are strange times. time undefeated Oscar winner has now gone through seven Golden Globe races without a single win. Spacey earned his first bid for his critically acclaimed turn in 1995's "The Usual Suspects." That was a banner year for the Tony winner, who also appeared in "Seven" and "Outbreak." He lost the Globe to his "Seven" co-star Brad Pitt for "Twelve Monkeys." However, Spacey got his revenge when he prevailed on Oscar night in an extremely competitive Supporting Actor race. Spacey became a usual awards suspect four years later, when the HFPA nominated him for Best Actor in "American Beauty." While the film won Best Drama (plus Best Director for Sam Mendes and Best Screenplay,) Spacey was wiped out by Denzel W »

Not this group of seniors.
"Even if it was a meaningless game — whether we were fully clinched or just out of it — these guys would come out and fight because that's who they are," he said "These kids are just battlers."
The Utah State football program has pulled off a pretty startling feat. The Aggies (7-4, 6-1) are going to play for a shot at the league title in their first year in the Mountain West.
The long, steep list of adversity they've faced, including losing a handful of valued starters for the year, had many observers all but counting out the Aggies at midseason. But then the Aggies kept winning, working on the games they could control while crossing their fingers for other dominoes to fall into place.
The way the Aggies have competed this season gives the impression that their late-season resurrection was somehow encoded within them like DNA. But this year's seniors, the winningest group in program history, remember that it was a learned habit, and it was anything but natural at first.
The winning record this season, the bowl eligibility, the chance for a conference title — it's thanks to a class that changed the culture of the program to help push its rise.
"We've fought all the way from the dumps to the top," guard Jamie Markosian said. "It's a testament to the guys who are in this class. It's a special deal to be a part of it."
Twenty-two seniors are expected to take the field for pregame honors Saturday. The ceremony will recognize a group that has won 29 games over the last four years and is looking for more. They all find themselves much different men than they were entering the program: Men who are accountable to themselves, which the program lacked in the early days.
Markosian describes the culture as "completely different" when he entered as a freshman. The unity and closeness of a winning locker room wasn't yet there.
Coach Gary Andersen strived to change the attitude with high expectations and low tolerance for not meeting them.
Connor Williams was late to his first meeting freshman year. He got chewed out by Andersen. Then he really started to pay the consequences.
"The first day of training camp, I had to get up a 6 a.m. for punishment before practice," Williams recalled. "I did bear crawls, threw sandbags, pushed plates. I had all that, and then a two-a-day. During the moment, that wasn't fun; now it's pretty hilarious."
The Aggies only smile now because something happened: The lessons took. They started taking their responsibilities more seriously. They adopted accountability for themselves behind the mantra, "Players make plays."
Only one thing was missing: Winning. The Aggies won four games in each of the first two seasons under Andersen, and started 2-5 in 2011. Having the habits of a winning team but still losing was more frustrating than ever before.
"There were so many times when we were like, 'God, why are we losing? We're not that bad,'" Markosian said. "You just don't understand why you're not winning games. And then you start winning games and learning how to win. And it's totally different than the games before."
The close games started to turn after Utah State's 35-31 win at Hawaii, and the Aggies finished out the year 4-1. The team got on a roll, and it never really got off.
This season's wins bear the mark of the senior group. They've lost close games, but they've pulled themselves through others. After Keeton, Joe Hill, Kevin Whimpey and D.J. Tialavea went out for the year, there was no talk of excuses, only talk of being 1-0 that week.
The Aggies have a number of underclassmen who have contributed and stepped into roles occupied by seniors. But it's also clear that without the seniors, they would have been lost in how to come through against teams such as UNLV or Colorado State late in the year.
"I feel that when we leave it for the younger guys they know how much we've sacrificed," Joey DeMartino said. "They see the new buildings and stuff that previous classes and us have helped get to this school. I think we set a good precedent for them to keep fighting and working hard. That's what this program is about, being blue-collared athletes."Next Page >

Uncertainty Measures for Economics Journal Impact Factors
AbstractAcademic economists appear to be intensely interested in rankings of journals, institutions, and individuals. Yet there is little discussion of the uncertainty associated with these rankings. To illustrate the uncertainty associated with citations-based rankings, I compute the standard error of the impact factor for all economics journals with a five-year impact factor in the 2011 Journal Citations Report. I use these to derive confidence intervals for the impact factors as well as ranges of possible rank for a subset of thirty journals. I find that the impact factors of the top two journals are well defined and set these journals apart in a clearly defined group. An elite group of 9-11 mainstream journals can also be fairly reliably distinguished. The four bottom ranked journals are also fairly clearly set apart. For the remainder of the distribution, confidence intervals overlap and rankings are quite uncertain.

Finding authentic cuisine from another country can be a challenge no matter where you are. Cincinnati luckily has a fair amount of diversity among restaurants, which gets even broader when you expand your scope to include the Greater Cincinnati region. Sometimes though, you just want the best of a certain type of cuisine – and helping you with that is the task we've given ourselves. This week's challenge: Korean.
Finding authentic Korean cuisine can be a lot like trying to find authentic Chinese – often places serve dishes that have been over-sweetened or altered to fit "American tastes." However, authentic Korean can be found with some research – not only in Downtown but even in the suburbs. Keep reading to find our list of the best authentic (or near-authentic) Korean restaurants in Downtown Cincinnati, south of the river and up in suburbia.
Downtown: Sung Korean Bistro
Sung Korean Bistro
700 Elm St
Cincinnati, OH 45202
Sung Korean puts a modern spin on the traditional Korean style and cuisine, thus the restaurant's emphasis on "fusion". While I can't say Sung Korean is in my top 3 favorite Korean restaurants overall (see below for those!), it is the best in the Downtown area. The food and service are alright at best, but what makes Sung Korean Bistro unique is its sleek modern style, cleanliness and ambiance. You can find authentic fare like bulgogi, dolsot (stone bowl) bibimbap and soondubu jjigae (although they are a bit on the bland side) here as well as non-Korean items like cocktails (these are actually really good) and sushi. As a whole Sung is a bit pricey for what you get, but it is nearly in the middle of Downtown Cincinnati. Patio seating is also available. There is street parking and affordable lots within walking distance, so parking isn't much of an issue.
South of the River: Riverside Korean Restaurant
Riverside Korean
512 Madison Ave.
Covington, KY 41011
For the best Korean food on the other side of the river, our go-to place is Riverside Korean. The food is not 100% authentic, but it's awful close and it's the best-tasting Korean near Downtown Cincinnati. The good selection of tasty dishes combined with several banchan (side dishes), and friendly service make them our favorite place near Downtown for Korean. They also offer grill-at-your-table Korean bbq. Unfortunately, none of the Korean places in Greater Cincinnati offer all-you-can-eat grill-at-your-table Korean bbq that I know of. The only other downsides to Riverside are that it's a little expensive and it's across the river – but at least it's not difficult to find. Parking is street-only or there is a garage around the corner.
Near 71: SuRa Korean Cuisine
Sura Korean Cuisine
7876 Mason-Montgomery Rd.
Mason, OH 45040
Hidden inside a small strip mall in Mason is SuRa Korean Cuisine. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) SuRa often gets overlooked due to being next to the enormously popular Sichuan Bistro – thankfully they're open on Mondays when Sichuan Bistro is closed. Despite being in the suburbs of Greater Cincinnati, SuRa Korean is definitely worth a shot: they offer a huge menu of delicious authentic Korean dishes, a homey atmosphere, traditional-style seating, grill-at-your-table Korean bbq and are excessively accommodating. All this great food and atmosphere come at a price though – it's all the way in Mason and the food is a touch expensive. I must admit too that I am disappointed that they have been adding Japanese items to their already-huge menu, but I suppose it makes sense considering they get a lot of business from local Japanese companies.
Near 75: Asiana Korean Restaurant
Asiana Korean Restaurant
6875 Fountains Blvd.
West Chester, OH 45069
Like SuRa, Asiana is kind of in the middle of nowhere. But, also like SuRa, I think it's worth the drive to check them out. The name is a bit deceptive, as they serve Korean, Japanese and Chinese food (I guess that's the "Asiana" part.) It's very easy to get to, being in a shopping complex right off Cincinnati-Dayton road, but finding their hours is a puzzle we have yet to solve. They seem to be closed Mondays, but their actual hours the rest of the week are not posted anywhere easy to find. If you can actually get into Asiana it's worth it to try out their great Korean food (don't worry about the others.) Their prices are about on-par with SuRa and Riverside, and service isn't quite as good as the other two, but the food is delicious and they offer a handful of traditional Korean dishes the other two don't.
Which is your favorite?
Admittedly there's not many places to eat Korean in the area, but there are more than these four – which is your favorite? Share your opinions in the comments below!

If you watch only one television show next week, let it be Glee.
What? What's that you say? You used to watch but it fell off your DVR schedule? Or you never really thought it was your thing?
Well then, you especially better watch. 'Cause I just got my hands on a screener for this Tuesday's episode (through supersecret channels…Shhhh) and can tell you without any hesitation: It is arguably the best episode of Glee, not just this season but in the history of the series.
Yeah, you heard me.
Why? Here's the scoop…
Glee has completely found its heart again. And then some.
As you fans know, Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and the cast has been telling us for months that Glee is returning to its roots, focusing on the core characters instead of guest stars, and getting back to the emotional crux that made many of us fall in love with the show in the first place.
Well, get ready to fall again. This Tuesday's episode, "Asian F," not only presents one of the best storylines for fan-favorite underdog character Mike Chang (Harry Shum Jr.), it also presents the best work we've seen yet from Amber Riley, Heather Morris, Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Jayma Mays. And even better, some of you fans will be elated to hear that Mr. Schuester and Rachel are once again likable and relatable. (So long, cocky manwhore and grating diva!)
The storylines are tight, grounded, completely believable and emotionally gripping. The musical numbers are mind-blowingly good and introduced through organic, and yet unexpected, ways.
Oh yeah, and you will cry.
Without giving too much away, here's a little scoop on what you can expect from Tuesday's Glee:
• An awesome Heather Morris number: "Run the World (Girls)." (You may feel an uncontrollable urge to get up and dance.)
• Harry Shum Jr.'s first solo. It'll blow you away! He is amazing in this episode, and proves himself fully worthy as a full-fledged series regular. Also, there's a scene with his mom that will make you cry.
• The best Amber Riley performance ever, as she seeks to prove she's a lead in her West Side Story audition.
• A "Maria-Off" between Rachel and Mercedes that "we'll be talking about forever," according to Kurt.
• My favorite-ever Will and Emma scene toward the end of the episode. (Bring Kleenex.) It will bring you to your knees.
• A "supremacist" storyline that will make you laugh…then cry.
• A nod to The Glee Project. (There are auditions for the school play, you know!)
• A Mercedes twist that changes the course of the season.
Coach Bieste perhaps sums up this episode best: Prepare to be "emotionally pancaked."
Can you tell I didn't hate it? Nahhh…

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst says Fitzgerald is frustrated, but 'sold out' for Cardinals
Former NFL receiver and current ESPN NFL analyst Cris Carter is glad he's not Larry Fitzgerald.
Carter caught 1,101 passes over his 16-year career, which was spent with the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins.
He was one of the best receivers in the game, though he has not caught a pass since retiring after the 2002 season.
And yet, Fitzgerald caught just one more pass than Carter did this past Sunday.
"He is not our typical wide receiver but he's very frustrated, though," Carter told ESPN's Mike & Mike Tuesday morning.
Fitzgerald is having one of the worst seasons of his career, and is on pace to catch just 75 passes for 867 yards and five touchdowns. He's been held to five catches over the last three games -- on 26 targets -- and his team is riding an eight-game losing streak.
"There's no greater competitor in the National Football League than Larry Fitzgerald," Carter said. "There is no wide receiver who likes to look good better than Larry Fitzgerald.
"There is no guy who wants to get the ball and loves seeing himself get the ball to affect the overall outcome of the game."
He has been unable to do that this season, largely through no fault of his own. Fitzgerald has caught passes from three different quarterbacks in 2012 as the Cardinals have searched for someone to replace Kurt Warner.
There is no end in sight to the quest, and Carter said Fitzgerald knew this was possible. That said, the analyst noted his friend is not looking to leave the desert.
"He is very, very frustrated, but he is sold out for the Cardinals," Carter said. "That's his team, that's where he's going to make his home, that's where he's going to live his life."

Partial Medial Epicondylectomy Safe and Reliable
Nerve problems at the elbow can cause pain and make work and daily activities difficult. In this study removing part of the bone on the inside of the elbow is reviewed as a surgical treatment for the problem. The operation is called a partial medial epicondylectomy.
Researchers tried to answer these questions: does a partial epicondylectomy improve function? Does it help patients with severe symptoms? Can the problems of elbow instability and pain (common after a total epicondylectomy) be avoided by doing a partial procedure instead?
Results of 80 partial epicondylectomies were compared with total epicondylectomies reported in other studies. Measures included pain, grip and pinch strength, elbow motion, and function.
The results showed 86 percent of the patients improved and returned to work five months later. One-third of the patients still had some loss of nerve function. Two-thirds of the patients with severe symptoms gained strength and function in the hand and forearm.
The authors conclude that partial epicondylectomy is a safe and reliable way to treat nerve problems at the elbow. Major problems are avoided although elbow pain persists for many patients.
Dimitrios G. Efstathopoulos, MD, DSc, et al. Outcome of Partial Medial Epicondylectomy for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. In Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research. March 2006. No. 444. Pp. 134-139.

Religion is what is supposed to add meaning to one's life,
exploring the paths to God,
We are taught that God takes our loved ones when
they die,many wonder and question the reasons
why, how could that be why would a Loving God
do that to me?
Making the ones that are left behind
cry tears of sorrow and pain the questions left
unanswered still remain!
This is when Religion fails, details of truth they
hide and give the answer they think that
you want to hear. Honest and Sincere
they lack as covering their own back
lies are told, and a pattern
there unfolds.
This brings another question to the fore,
why have they lied, what really is it
that they are trying so hard to hide?
Surely you would like to think that
you are taught what is true, not something
untrue, as what good or benefit is that
to you or anyone?
What is this all about, why am I bringing this
message out. I wish to bring a message of hope
that the Bible God's written Word gives us to
help us with Life's problems to cope.
Yes there is a reason to look to the future with joy
as soon God will destroy the wicked
demons and the Devil Satan too.
The Bible answers our most asked questions
adding meaning to our lives,
also bringing a heart-felt happiness and inner
Peace that cannot be broken nor will
ever cease.
Now the question lies what,when and how do you find this
knowledge of truth and light, seek God's will through
his word the Bible, although imperfect we maybe we
can make it our goal to do what is right and pleasing
in God's Sight,bringing him joy and making his
heart delight.
Read God's word each day,mediatate and ponder then
take time to thank him and pray
show him who you truly obey and you will
find the right path to take, Right or Wrong
Choices. Make your choice it is upto yoy

I wouldn't call it anything except Kubiak going into turtle mode until he lost the lead . My deep dark theory is Schaub is like a 4th son and Kubiak is trying to let him save face at the team and fans expense . My deeper darker theory is Kubiak sees himself a QB guru genuis type guy and he can't admit Matt's not won a SB under his guidance .
A little about Colleen. She's the brains behind the operation. Magna cum laude from BC, top five in her law school class, so obviously I have a pretty good idea how to recruit, I can tell you that.

Lab 10: Structure of Bone
To examine the structure of a long bone
1. Locate and name the major parts of a long bone
2. Describe the functions of various parts of a bone
3. Distinguish between compact and spongy bone
1. Review Cpt 6 pages 128-130, and the Bone Outline page
2. Print out images 10.1 and 10.2 (below), paste into your NoteBook and Label
3. Examine the sectioned bones. Draw a picture in your NoteBook and label: epiphysis, spongy bone, articular cartilage, medullary cavity, diaphysis, endosteum, periosteum, marrow, compact bone
4. Examine the fresh bone specimens with the dissecting microscopes. Examine the marrow and the space within the spongy bone. Draw, label and describe in your NoteBook
5. Reexamine the microscopic structure of bone tissue by observing the prepared slides. Draw a picture in your NoteBook and label the following structures: Lamella, Haversian (Osteonic) canal, Osteocyte, Canaliculus, Lacuna, Osteon
6. Complete Part A & B of the Lab Handout.
7. Examine the Fresh Chicken bones that were exposed to HCl and high heat overnight. The resulting effect of each treatment is very different. HCl removes the inorganic salts from the bone matrix, while the heat destroys the protein from the bone matrix. In your NoteBook, describe what each specimen is like and answer the following: Based on your observations, what quality of a bone seem to be due to inorganic salts and what quality of a bone seem to be due to protein?
8. As you complete the lab, Review the "Lab Objectives" from the handout and write a synopsis of the lab addressing the three objectives.

Chargers vs. Seahawks West Coast Rivals
Every sports fan wants to claim that they are the most loyal fan, regardless of how their team is actually playing. In fact, sometimes fans will take more pride in their team that doesn't perform well, because then they will never be considered a bandwagon or fair-weather fan. Fortunately in San Diego , we have a team that is one of the most exciting team in the NFL. Stacked with talent, the Chargers always promise a face paced, exciting show that leaves every fan with memories that will last a lifetime. Future hall-of-famers mix with young blood whenever the Chargers take the field. Phillip Rivers is once again at the helm of the offense, which is stacked at every position. Antonio Gates is one of the league's best tight ends, and he is coming out this year to prove that he still has what it takes. Outside, Vincent Jackson may be the most dangerous deep threat that the NFL has seen in a long time. Combined, the Chargers sport of the best passing attacks in the league, something that running back Mike Tolbert is sure to benefit from.
The Seattle Seahawks are not a team to be messed with. They have athleticism all over the field, and are a team that could very easily give the Chargers a run for their money if they don't come prepared to play their best. A number of the NFL's best players will be center stage in this head to head matchup. If you want to be close to the action, and see some of the world's best athletes, now is your chance. The noise factor at Qualcomm Stadium is always an issue that opposing teams are going to have to contend with. It's not easy coming into any arena, let alone one of the most famous in the world. You can be one of the people making extra hard for the opposing team to win! Come cheer for your team and make sure they know that they have the best fan base in the NFL.
Make sure you browse our selection below for both home and away games, so that you can help provide the fan noise that we need to bring a Superbowl to San Diego ! The show of a lifetime is awaiting you. Pick your tickets for Chargers vs Seahawks, which are always of the highest quality and the most affordable price!

Your brain might be slowing down sooner than you think!
A new study showed some people's cognitive motor skills began to slowly diminish after 24 years old. Cognitive motor skills are the ability to process thoughts then react.
Researchers had people play a video game, Star-craft Two, in order to test their reaction time. They looked into the gamers' performance, and found those in their early twenties were quicker than those in their late twenties.
However, it's not all bad news for the older crowd. The same study found while their performance was slower, older people were craftier and replaced speed with strategy.

Last week, former state lawmaker Roger Hines of Kennesaw became the second Republican to announce a 2010 primary challenge to state School Superintendent Kathy Cox.
His campaign slogan — "We can do better" — isn't the catchy phrase likely to make Gov. Sonny Perdue smile.
The retired high school teacher enters the race with the support of a dozen or so GOP legislators, including Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers of Woodstock, so it is not to be taken lightly. Richard Woods of Tifton, also an educator, is the other GOP candidate.
"Education in Georgia is too important to get caught up in party politics," Rogers said in Hines' defense. But serious primary challenges to incumbents are rare, and they always mean something.
Officially, Hines is running against the lack of progress in Georgia schools under both Cox and Perdue and the "testing mania" that he says has killed the joy of teaching. The state Department of Education, Hines said, "has become a data management center. It ought to be an idea-producing place."
But he also expresses worries, as have some other Republicans, about Cox's ability to weather a third general election next November.
"It does concern me," Hines said. "But I'm running not because of her vulnerability. I'm running because we haven't moved."
Last year, the state school superintendent and her husband, John Cox, filed for bankruptcy protection. Much of their $3.5 million debt is related to John Cox's home-building business in Fayette County.
Only a few months earlier, Kathy Cox had bagged $1 million from the Fox quiz show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" She promised to send the cash to state-run schools for the blind and deaf. Creditors are now gunning for the money in court.
Even so, Kathy Cox confirmed this week, again, that she is running for re-election. Asked whether she had experienced any Republican pressure to back out, the school superintendent e-mailed the following:
"We are honored to have many great friends who have offered words of encouragement and support to me and my family," she said. "I am working hard through these difficult economic times, to ensure that Georgia's 1.7 million public school students are given a world-class education."
Already, the former classroom teacher boasts checks from the No. 2 leaders of both the state House and Senate: Rep. Mark Burkhalter of Johns Creek and Sen. Tommie Williams of Lyons. Sen. Ronnie Chance of Tyrone is her campaign chairman.
Cox supporters concede that her personal finances may require some explaining — which in turn could require a heftier campaign treasury. The state school superintendent has a lackluster reputation as a fund-raiser.
But Cox's backers also argue that the economic downturn is so widespread that her difficulties are more likely to generate sympathy than criticism. Further, they point out that Republicans can't afford to throw away the advantage that incumbency brings.
Not when the contests for school superintendent and governor are likely to be tightly bound — by the topic of education and by the statewide voting power of teachers.
(Democrats clearly understand the Republican dilemma over Kathy Cox. They have yet to field a candidate for U.S. Senate or lieutenant governor. But three Democrats have already established campaigns for school superintendent.)
Republicans have yet another factor to consider — their own sexual politics. Just as they do on the Democratic side, women form the core of the GOP volunteer network, from the lowliest envelope-stuffer to party chairman Sue Everhart.
Feminism is a subdued force in the state Republican Party, but it can be powerful when stirred.
To push an eight-year incumbent school superintendent to abandon her office, for money problems that occurred largely on her husband's side of the marital ledger, might be seen by GOP women as an injustice. That the two Republicans ready to replace her are of the male species is something that's likely to matter.
Kathy Cox's claim to continued GOP support may have been strengthened this month by House Speaker Glenn Richardson's unfortunate drama. A bankruptcy, even one involving millions of dollars, is nothing when compared with a depressive attempt at suicide.
Yet Richardson has no intention of resigning his speakership. The turmoil of his personal life has been compartmentalized and will not compromise his ability to carry out his duties as the second-most-powerful figure in state government, his friends say.
Kathy Cox in no way would wish it so, but Richardson may have made her case — in the most powerful fashion possible.

Kathy Cox is the poster child for why this position should NOT be elected or at least should not be a partisan contest. Everybody who follows politics in these "down ballot" races knows that her win was a complete fluke. Just because she had almost the same name as the former Secretary of State, she rode that name recognition to victory over a much more qualified candidate (one of Georgia's most outstanding education leaders: Barbara Christmas).
At the time, Cox was not even qualified to be a county school chief, much less the state leader. Thank goodness there are some qualified and willing experts who are willing to challenge this weak incumbent. Georgia's school children deserve so much better!!! Why have we had such bad luck when it comes to this position? First there was Linda Shrenko (still in jail I guess) and now the failed Kathy Cox. TIME FOR A NEW State School Superintendent… ANYBODY ELSE. Please!

You wouldn't be referring to the same Barbara Christmas whose organization sold teachers out by not opposing Roy Barnes revoking their due process rights in exchange for approving an education car tag so they could say they stood up for teachers even as their rights were revoked would you?

Education in Georgia is too important to get caught up in party politics – WRONG — Education is too important to be left in the hands of the government and politicians.
End the government school system, make parents be responsible for their children's education, encourage homeschooling, provide tax incentives and eliminate all government and licensing barriers to enhance the growth of a private and voluntary market alternative to the current failure.

Everyone knows that the only reason Kathy Cox was elected in the first place is because most GA voters were to dumb to realize she wasn't the former Sec of State – Cathy Cox when they voted for her. At the time Cathy Cox had a bit of popularity because she headed up the conversion to touch screen voting machines. When Kathy Cox was elected she wasn't even qualified to be a elementary school principal no less a district wide administrator. Yet she was somehow elected to a position leading all of GA's school districts. One of her first ideas was to stop teaching the scientific method that has brought us all the technology we enjoy today. That would have put GA school systems at risk of losing their accreditation. Since most voters are too lazy or dumb to investigate the basic qualifications of candidates we should consider letting the Governer or legis appoint. It will still be political but at least the Gov would be obligated to appoint someone qualified.

I've got 3 more years to go before I am forced to move out of this state because my oldest kid becomes school age… Sad but true. I refuse to allow my children to be "educated" by the current public schooling system as it is. This state is high on the list of "dummy states" and gets made fun of all the time for it's crappy school system. Give more pay and ciricullum latitude to the teachers!!! Simple solutions go a long way.

The First Brother and governor of Florida started this whole testing frenzy and then Dubya took up the drumbeat and determined to become the "edjamacation" president. Teachers cut short their curriculum and teach to the test and that becomes the focus — even influencing the school calendar!
School starts earlier to give more "cram time" before the testing.
In fairness, however, it must be noted that there are far more serious concerns than just the testing. The sociological issues at play compel us to look at the lack of discipline in our schools, the huge drop-out problem and the train wreck that awaits our culture down the road.
Unemployable young people get into trouble and fill our jails and cost the taxpayers far more than dealing with the root issues that underlie the calamity we're in. But, of course, this sounds like an "ol' bleedin' heart librul" and God knows will only be heard in derision.

I'm paying for a private school that I can't afford for not one but two children. I refuse to put them in public schools, even though we live in one of the best districts in the state.

There is no term limit for this position? That is a crime.
Kathy Cox doesn't have a choice whether to run or not. Her family clearly needs her salary and there isn't another job in education that pays anywhere close to this one.
The new math is a disaster at the high school level. Regardless of whether it gets better or not, this group of freshmen and sophomores will be lost.
Next year, Cox will let class sizes get even larger without even voicing one bit of concern.
She ought to be an easy target.

What are the democratic contender's credentials? Are they all educators? Seems to me that we need someone who has strong leadership/managerial skills to move Georgia from the bottom, and build a base to draw businesses. Sad to say, we are at a point where we need someone other than an educator to lead education in Georgia.

David S., I can tell you have little understanding of the situation. Republicans, Libertarians, and those for no or little government involvement don't like public education. Without public education our citizens would be even dumber than they are already. Look at who they elect! Leave it to the parents to home school? Have you met many of these parents? Think of some of these less educated, possibly high school dropout parents trying to home school. That would keep such children down and create a class based society. I realize that is kind of already the case, but it is not overt. Private schools will not get cheaper, or remain as attractive, if you flood them with the massive number of students from the public schools. They would have to teach them ALL? How about the unemployment rate after you end public education? Do you have any idea how many are employed in or public schools? This does include your state universities. You probably would like to see all these government programs ended. I would actually like to see them all ended for one month, maybe two. This would give some of you a better understanding of how many decent, hardworking (conservative too) people depend of these programs, and it is not all bad. Let's get the US and state governments to do it. Shut down all public schools, social security benefits and services, medicare, medicaid, child and family services, public housing, and unemployment benefits. Really, I don't disagree with the basic idea that all of these services are in place for those that did not do, plan, or provide for themselves. 99.9% of everyone that benefits from them could have done something to prevent their own personal need for the programs. I wish some of you would try to help us solve the problems rather than just complaining about it. When was the last time you stepped into a classroom to honestly try to make a difference. I know it seems easy, but if it were, we wouldn't be losing so many good, competent people to the private sector where they can make more, not be scorned by those like yourself, and treated like nonprofessional by everyone. I honestly wish you would find a new song to sing or step up and help. Trust me those who teach and do it well don't do it for the summer off, the pay (of course), or the respect of others(certainly not!). We do it to make a difference and serve our country in the way we can best. Please try helping rather than barking at the moon!

If she gets re-elected, it would show the true idiocy of this state. When TEACHERS are getting laid-off and you're changing the school schedule to save money there is a problem. That and she hasn't shown in two terms any kind of innovative initiatives that would help Georgia get out this funk of poor education. But hey, look who's putting these people in office.
November 22nd, 2009

The reality is that 80% of all funds expended in the school system is for salary. The high costs of schools is due to too many administrators, high teacher healthcare and retirement and exhorbitant salaries for everyone. All of this is hidden behind the guise of "don't you dare cut scjhool funding or the quality will further decline…." Time for reality, teachers and administrators… Time for BIG cuts and more competition!
November 23rd, 2009

Hey, Reality Check and the rest of you anti-public school education fools….one of the reasons education in Georgia is in the shape it's in is because of years of under-funding it. In most developed countries around this world, teachers/educators are revered and not treated like second-class citizens or glorified babysitters. That's whjy their kids beat our kids in almiost every testable academic area. They have kids who speak 2 or 3 languages. We have kids who can barely speak and write English. Teachers spend 8 hours a day, plus many hours after the regular teaching day preparing for the next day's class schedule so they can give your children a chance to survive in this world. But your solution to the education problem is cut salaries of teachers and cut retirement benefits. That's really brilliant. That's what we need, huh? Let's continue to treat education in Georgia as a problem and not as a source of solutions. Let's push it down even further on the list of responsibilities of government. The solution you offer is not to treat or expect professionalism from educators, but home school the kids or hand out vouchers for those who make the choice to send their kids to private schools. Why should I as a taxpayer have to fund your private school choice AND a public school system?
November 24th, 2009

Throwing money at the education problem won't help. The highest performing districts have the lowest per studant costs. Compare Iowa to Georgia as an example. Teachers need parents to partner in the education process. Low performing students have parents who have no idea about their process. There are still too many parents who don't realize that their active involvement is critical to their childrens success. There are no studies showing that students perform better if their teacher and administrators make more money. However, there are numerious studies showing that high performing students have parents who are actively involved in their children's education.

Telecom Retail CEO Alan Gourdie quits
Telecom Retail chief exectuvie Alan Gourdie, who unsuccessfuly bid for the CEO role, is leaving the company.
Last December, Mr Gourdie told NBR ONLINE he had put his hand up for the top job, also contested by Gen-i boss Chris Quin.
The successful applicant, Auckland Airport boss Simon Mouter, officially starts on September 1, but has already been involved in meetings and planning sessions at Telecom, NBR understands.
Mr Gourdie – a one-time global marketing executive with Heineken – was credited with a successful revamp of Telecom's retail operation, smooth help desk outsourcing and holding Telecom's share above 50% in the newly competitive retail broadband market through the Total Home package and other initiatives.
However, XT, which also falls under Telecom Retail, has performed under analysts' expectations in terms of market share as Vodafone has slipped only, and 2degreees surged to 950,000 customers, including 100,000 on contract.
XT's technical failures soon after launch were pinned on those involved on the infrastructure and planning side of the roll-out but did make life a lot more difficult for Mr Gourdie's retail division, which struggled to regain the initative.
Mr Gourdie's misses also included the unsuccessful TiVo launch – in which Telecom was TVNZ's exclusive retail partner and zero-rated data – and various controversies at new mobile sub-brand Skinny, where there have been recent personnel changes and an abrupt change in marketing direction.
Mr Gourdie's last day will be October 31.
His departure was announced by acting CEO Chris Quin.
Mr Gourdie was appointed under former chief executive Paul Reynolds in 2008. He left the company at the end of June.
Telecom is due to report its half-year result on or around August 24. In its previous six-month period, reported in February, the company lost 180,000 mobile customers.
The company's shares [NZX:TEL] rose 1.7% yesterday to close at $2.70. Immediately after the November separation of Chorus, Telecom was at $1.98.
Comments and questions15
How sad (NOT), In my time at Telecom I watched as Alan gourdie did an uncountable amount of damage to Telecom simply because he felt he knew better (as the results show he didn't).
I could summarise this in one word: TIVO
A word of advice Alan, at your next job listen tot he people under you and around you. God help the next company you end up at.
Maybe he will pop up in charge of Fixed business, reporting to Stanners in Vodafone 2.0? Just saying...
it'd be the best thing happen to Telecom ever. I'd even say buy TEL shares if this does come to pass
What do you mean people!? His brainchild the All Black World Cup 'Abstain' campaign was genius! Countless other brilliant ideas in his time too. Too bad he never took any credit them.
Telecom chief marketing officer Kieren Cooney (now CMO for Australia's National Broadband Network) took the credit, and the hit, for the pink fist Wold Cup campaign.
There did seems to be a degree of uncoordination in the chain of command as Cooney went on TV to defend the abastain ads, only to be followed within hours by Gourdie, who said the campaign would not go ahead.
Not Telecom Retail's finest moment.
You can't tell me the rest of the Telecom's Execs approved that campaign. They were all involved in various 'spitting' contests, and Alan running with this was a big FU that really backfired on him.
Paul Reynolds made a great figurehead but he couldn't manage a team of seven people.
AG did some good things, but also made some huge mistakes. TIVO was a massive disaster....the marketing under AG (and he was supposed to be a top marketer himself?) was also a train wreck....herbison left /pushed after only one year and creating a mess (7 jobs in almost as many years....no wonder!), Cooney...abstain campaign also left after a short time....XT PR nightmere...the list goes on....I wish AG all the best but perhaps Telecom will be much better without him.
Appointed by the deadbeat Brogue Rogue. Say no more....
It all went downhill after CTO Dr. MIlner left ...
"smooth help desk outsourcing "
Comedy Gold.
I've always found Telecom's help operation (for mobile and broadband) pretty good. The call back system actually works, and personally I've had polite and knowledgeable responses from Manila-based staff and no language problems.
The after hours support is a jump on most rivals, too.
Personally I think Telecom Retail has done well in this area (and a lot of offshoring has been abysmal - Yellow being the prime example).
I think the answer is very simple Telecom communicate campaigns in an academic/intellectual way whist Voda used emotional. Telecom were obsessed with their internal systems and regulatory issues whilst the others were unemcumbered.
Having migrated away from Telecom for a bunch of products I do find the support by most other players is nothing short of abysmal. So bad in fact that I went back to Telecom for mobile.
SLingshot still have my business only because their offering is uncapped. As soon as Telecom get parity of offering I'll be straight back there
I was a huge fan of Allan, he made me hot
I've dealt with Gourdie quite a few times and you can't question his integrity or his contribution to Telecom over the last few years - which has seen Telecom shareholders get a significant return on their investment.

They were good, once
Some years ago, there was a baseball team that sported some of the best young pitching in the league. They had a handful of dependable, young starters. Their ace was only 21 years old. He had unbelievable command and was a Cy Young candidate. This team also had a 23 year old who'd win 14 games and put up very respectable numbers, and a 22 year old who wasn't quite as good as the rest, but had the potential to improve drastically. And let's not forget about the veteran of the staff, a 28-year old who'd already seen quite a bit, and also knew how to win and win often.
I know the comparrison isn't quite right, but it's pretty close. This team, on the arms of their very young pitching staff charged through the post season and won a World Series. They were the 85 Royals. The pitchers were Brett Saberhagan, Mark Gubicza, Danny Jackson, and Charlie Leibrandt.
I have very little doubt that Royals fans everywhere believed that championship to be just the first taste. Instead, their franchise hasn't been back to the playoffs ever since. Their young pitching staff faultered in 1986, and barely finished over .500 in 87 and 88.
Charlie Leibrandt would be a Royal until the 1989 season. In 1990, he'd go to the Braves, and he finished his career in Texas. He was a solid pitcher but never an ace.
Mark Gubicza would win 20 games at age 25 in 1988, but after that would never win more than 15, and only once. He battled injuries for the rest of his career, with only one healthy season in 1995 before retiring at age 34.
Danny Jackson went to Cincinnati in 88, where he won 23 games. We Cubs fans know what happened to him after that.
Brett Saberhagan was a very good pitcher who only had a handful of good years. He also battled injury and personal problems, and won only 167 games in his career.
Who would've thought that a staff of such young and talented pitchers would go on to do so little? They only had one shot at a World Series. Only one chance, and then they vanished. And they remind me a lot of the 2003 Cubs. A good team, good pitching, a bright future... and nothing.
Is that what we have to look forward to? Will our amazing pitching staff be rendered moot? It's beginning to look that way. It's becoming hard to believe in this team. Hell, it's become impossible.
Cheer up, Death!
Jason R.
No to plug myself, but I posted another reason for optimism over at the ol' Grace and Wayne corner. I'm just trying to keep things upbeat.
It's the Apocalypse, people. This should be a happy occasion!
Miss Fantastick
I think the Cubs should trade Zambrano and Prior away to teams where they'd at least get a chot to win games. They're at the height of their careers, why waste that? Send Prior to the Dodgers and Z to the Marlins. Why not? They help, but there is no offense to back them up. It's a shame.
Jason R.
Maybe we can wrestle Hee Sop away from the Dodgers. He's going to be good one day. The only guy I would want from the Marlins would be Dontrelle Willis, but I doubt he is available.
Is Lenny Harris still around?
Yeah, the Cubs sucked when they had Lou Brock... so it was only fair to him to send him to St. Louis so he could win.
Come On! Lets get a grip on it around here.
You're right! You cannot slowly creep up on a championship like so much cheap underwear! No, you have to take your championship when you get your shot and that was 2003. Nothing good has happened since Bartman. This is the downward spiral just as you described the Royals. Get ready for Dusty firing, Hendry firing, Wood trading, and the dreaded "REBUILDING". Yes the Apocalypse is truly upon us!
Who said anything about trading away our pitching? All I did was draw a comparrison with another team that had a plethora of talented, young pitching who still somehow managed to go bust after one wildly successful season. And I asked, "is this what we have to look forward to?" That's all.

MPAA Strikes Again v. DVD Chips
John Borland's report on another MPAA attack on DVD decoding:
According to the MPAA, Sigma Designs in Milpitas, Calif., and Taiwan-based MediaTek each have sold DVD-player chips to companies that offer features in their products that aren't allowed under the general DVD technology license. That act violated the license the chipmakers had to sign to build the DVD chips in the first place, the trade association said. (emphasis added)
That's right, the MPAA, through its partner in cartelization, the DVDCCA, tightly controls the features of every DVD player it allows to be marketed. Through a web of contracts, copyright, and DMCA, the MPAA has been able to prevent evolution in the design of DVD players since their introduction. DVD-player manufacturers are in a Catch-22: Don't sign the DVDCCA's restrictive contract, and you're sued under DMCA; sign, and you're contractually bound not to listen to customers' feature requests. Don't let anyone tell you these cartels aren't clever (PDF).

How to use a phone's output audio in Windows
Well, I had a grand vision of grandeur. I'm planning on buying a Nokia Lumia 900 running the Windows Phone 7 on it when the phone comes out soon. Being a designer, I had to design a dock to plug in the phone to charge and sync and the idea came: what if I could use my awesome stereo and my awesome Windows 7 to make the dock into an awesome home phone?
What it would be is a mic built into the dock that is connected to the phone so when someone calls me, I don't need to pick the phone up. And if I can with the Windows Phone, I can have the audio out from the call be recognized in Windows 7 as in audio input and I can have my puter's audio output to my awesome stereo to hear the call from my speakers.
The stickler is, as is with every grand vision of grandeur, can it happen? I don't know for sure what to do to get the audio out from the phone to connect with Windows 7.
So basically, can this situation happen?!

Coating could extend life of engine blades
UK-based Rolls-Royce has purchased the rights to a new coating process for turbine blades that could improve performance and durability. Created by researchers at Iowa State University, the coating, based on a composition of platinum, nickel, aluminum and hafnium, improves the durability and reliability of ceramic heat barriers that are applied over the bond coat, said co-creator Daniel Sordelet, a scientist with the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory on the Iowa State campus. He said the formula grew out of basic research that began about seven years ago and was funded by the Office of Naval Research.
The coating, which won a prestigious engineering award in 2005, represents a remarkably quick translation from fundamental science to practical application, according to Dr. William Brindley, Rolls-Royce's chief technologist. The engine maker will have exclusive license for the life of the patents covering the coating and a cost-effective method for applying it to engine parts.
