WHS student enjoying time as sideline reporter

A position as a High School Playbook sideline reporter for KOCO News Channel 5 has offered a local teen opportunities to gain experience and improve skills, which could prove valuable as she prepares for college and a career.Woodward junior Mallory Ross, 17, said she has always had an interest in film – an interest that "started out as a hobby.""My cousins and I would make these stupid movies over holidays," she said.But soon Ross began to develop her skills and volunteered her talents to help her church make children's music videos. When her computer teacher Bryan Stephenson suggested she apply for the sideline reporter position, where she would get to film sporting events, Ross said she figured it was worth a shot. She filled out an application one day last and received a call from the television station the next day inviting her to interview.Taking time out from her Thanksgiving break, she went to Oklahoma City and interviewed with some of the station members, including sports reporter Mark Rodgers."It was my first formal interview, so I was a little nervous," Ross said.

Wall Street Noticing That The Math On iPhones Doesn't Add Up

Plus the fact that in the first 90 days (we are not on day 209 of the iPhone being on sale) the iPhone matched the market share of all other competitor and was only behind RIM. Imagine, thats first 90 days so you do the math, but that seems like the iPhone is doing fine. Now, as for the missing numbers, it could also account to a much higher unlocked units. I can tell you from personal fact that it had to be higher then that. I wont get into details of how i know this.

While not as elegant I've been doing what the iPhone does for years and much much more. The 3rd party app support while non-existent on the iPhone is fantastic on a Windows Mobile device. Just as AlGoracle invented the Internet SteveJobs invented a "Revolutionary" Cell Phone....

Zane Lowe: this Shockwaves NME Award is the best

Zane Lowe has declared his win for Best Radio Show at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008 his best yet. The Radio 1 DJ has monopolised the category in recent years, with NME readers consistently naming his show the finest around. Speaking to NME.COM, Lowe said he was touched by the continuing loyalty. “It gets more special every time," explained the DJ. “The first time we won it for our show it was very precious, but every year it comes around you just hope that you're still connecting with the NME readers and the new music that's out there. So this is great." He added he was pleased to receive the award from presenter Jon McClure from Reverend And The Makers. “It's always nice to receive anything, but it's always an awkward situation when you go up at these things," said Lowe. “It's always weird situation so it was great to get it from a friend." McClure added his own tribute to the DJ, explaining: “He means a lot people in bands.

Councilor to push for video cams

John Eagleton's suggestion for police car cameras is linked to saving money.

Councilor John Eagleton said this week he will push for video cameras in Tulsa police cars when he can make a compelling case that they would end up saving the city money.

"Many other jurisdictions use this technology," he said following Tuesday's council committee meetings.

"I think cameras would cut down on lawsuits and serve as compelling evidence in a high-speed chase or when an officer observes an accident."

Fifteen years ago, more than 120 Tulsa police cars had cameras installed following the death of Officer Gus Spanos, who was shot while making a traffic stop.

It was part of a $500,000 private "Camcorders for Cops" fundraising effort.

How many nonbelievers?

The 2006 study from the University of Minnesota does not examine the question of how many non- believers there are but rather makes clear the troubling depth of Americans' distrust of them. Asked whether they would disapprove of a child's wish to marry an atheist, 47.6% of the 2,000 randomly selected people interviewed said yes. When asked the same question about Muslims and African Americans, the respondents' "yes" responses fell to 33.5% and 27.2%, respectively, and the responses dealing with Asian Americans, Latinos and other groups were lower.

When asked which groups did not share their vision of society, 39.5% of those interviewed mentioned atheists -- again, a level of distrust far in excess of that shown to other groups. Sociologist Penny Edgell, the study's lead researcher, called the results "a glaring exception to the rule of increasing tolerance over the last 30 years."

The recent study by the Pew Forum reports on the religious affiliations of Americans.

Automated Killer Robots ‘Threat to Humanity’: Expert

Increasingly autonomous, gun-totting robots developed for warfare could easily fall into the hands of terrorists and may one day unleash a robot arms race, a top expert on artificial intelligence told AFP.

The first three armed combat robots fitted with large-caliber machine guns deployed to Iraq last summer, manufactured by US arms maker Foster-Miller, proved so successful that 80 more are on order, said Sharkey.
