This is getting a little scary, another student was found dead because of a bacterial infection like Staph (Staphylococcus aureus). This time the child was only in seventh grade attending a middle school in Brooklyn. The first time I became aware of this infection was about three weeks ago with a high school student who was from the mid-west, now these infections are spreading faster than you think. In this article the author mentions that do to the quick spread of the bacteria many schools were urged to report any children diagnosed and suprisingly enough the number of students in each school were not any where near just one or two students. Scary right. What makes it even more scarier is that in every article concerning this infection it is shown that more die from something like this than the H.I.V. or A.I.D.S virus. How can we stop this horrible infection?

Blog Review of Cory's Blog Review/ The Daily Dish
Cory chose to review Andrew Sullivan's political blog,"The Daily Dish"a very simple yet popular blogging site. His description of the Sullivan's identity is without a doubt clear to the reader. Cory gave just about all the background information on the author from when and where Sullivan was born to even his sexual preference of today. However I did find it interesting as Cory notes that although Sullivan has the AIDS virus and is gay he is still known among the political spectrum indicating, that this guy may in fact know what he is talking about. I also agree with Cory that Sullivan's website is rather plain, a couple of pictures maybe even some short video clips for certain issues may in fact spice up the page a bit. Now, honestly I am not a avid blog reader but just by the positive feedback from Cory I may in fact consider saving "The Daily Dish" to my favorites.

Three Changes We'd Make as Sprint's New CEO/ Wired
http://blog.wired.com/business/2007/10/three-changes-w.html
Sprint/Nextel going down down down, besides its ousted CEO, its loss of 337,000 customers , or even its stock downfall. It is very clear that this company has an urge to be one of the top selling cellphone companies, however they are with out doubt lacking somethings. From a personal experience I agreed with the article about Sprint's horrible customer service. There were a number of times that I have called and didn't even speak to someone in this country let alone get any answers to the questions that I had prior to calling.
When a company like Sprint merges with another company yes your bound to have complications in the beginning but come on this has been in affect for over a year now.

Gunman Opens Fire at Cleveland High School /NY Times Article
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/10/us/10cnd-shooting.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
A 14 year old student who had been suspended earlier this week returned with weapons. It was said that this 14 year old gunman opened fire in a Cleveland High school earlier today shooting and wounding several people. So far those injured were two adults and two teenage adolescents. The gunman while running from and hiding from the police within the five floor school building shot and killed himself to end his misery. It was said that he screamed out "Shut up. Shut up. I hate this school".
The question is how could a 14 year old hate a place like school so much that he would want to hurt and possibly kill those who attended? What was really bothering him? Is this another copy cat Columbine high school shooting?

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/sports/AP-BKN-Knicks-Thomas-Harassment-Suit.html?hp
It has been announced that some jurors may in fact find the New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas and Madison Square Garden guilty of sexual haressment towards a former team executive Anucha Browne Sanders.
It is not clear as to what was actually said or done by the coach towards Mrs. Sanders but it was enough to leave her fighting for $10million dollars. What I don't understand is why she waited until she was fired from her $260,000 a year salary to announce this horrific event.
