What would you like to read in a school newspaper?

I write for the newspaper at my high school and we need to turn in story ideas for the upcoming paper tomorrow. What do you think some good stories would be that you’d like to read? If you could think of creative stories you don’t usually see that would be great. The secions in the paper are editorial/opinion, news, health, feature (about a person), art, tech, sports, and vibe (music, movies, ect.) Thanks!

Why Americans like to read or listen to Celebrities news?

Why we gotta focus on Britney’s bald head? And Imus Imus Imus? And Alex Baldwin’s outburst? And JLO is trying to make a baby? And listen to Rosie’s rant?

Why we can’t read REAL news about Iraq, how things are progressing, what really happen at Virginia Tech and look
at Cho’s video and read his suicidal notes, and see what
is really going on around the world?

And plus I don’t understand this Gonzales’… if we should fired
him or not? What did he do? I find this one boring.

And also, I wanna understand WHY that Tennessee preacher’s wife got 3 to 6 years in prison for murder.
What kind of evidence and all?

are specialized schools like Brooklyn tech and Stuy really worth it?

I read the news the other day called “Stuy hype” that these schools have no big impact on the sats only on the regions. (NYpost). And one person said that”since colleges don’t look at regions anyway”. And are these schools level higher than regular schools? How are they higher anyway? I mean don’t all high schools teach the same stuff???? The teachers just have to teach it and students like have to earn it! Or is it that the teachers in specialized schools are better teachers???

Why is it that mentally ill people (like the VA Tech killer) never lose control and do positive things?

Please let me clarify- why is it that mentally ill people, when and if they ‘lose control’, never go crazy and do something either positive or neutral?

It seems like whenever someone becomes “insane” they invariably commit crimes, such as murder, rape, assault, etc. Is this a true statement, or is this simply the result of what the media chooses to show the masses? “No news is good news” it has been said. So has anyone who is either mentally ill or “normal” (whatever that means) ever lost control and actually done something positive in order to get attention?

If they wish to get attention (people like the V Tech murderer), why would people like that never elect to do something positive or beneficial to humankind? For example, instead of slaughtering innocent people, how about helping the homeless find jobs? Or, caring for people who are elderly?

Am I just being idealistic and naive here?

Why do people lose control and always do harmful things, rather than helpful things

How do you like living in the USA with less local news coverage?

Do you remember way back when Bush and Margaret Spellings used that “gay muppet” argument to cut the funding on NPR and PBS?

Well – now how do you like living in a world where all we get to hear about is Anna Nicole and Virginia Tech?
Wouldn’t you like to know what’s going on next door?

Wouldn’t you appreciate public access that is not funded by a mega-church or Rupert Murdoch?

Just curious…

I would like to know is it possible to start a small business by using small business credit?

I would like to know if it is possible to start up a business using business credit if:

1. You are starting a small business, or you are already a business owner.

2. You have to have perfect credit.

3. Do you have to already have to be in business for 1 or 2 years before you can aquire business credit?

What is the Internet Marketing Conference like?

I got a thing in the mail saying I’m invited to “Internet Marketing Conference 2009″. They say you get a free meal and mp3 player for you and a guest just for coming to the 90 minute event. I’m not interested in their business as its probably very hard to be successful or just a sham. But is it worth going for the free meal and mp3 player?
It mentions ‘storesonline.com’ as its website.

i would like to spread the news about the killing in virginia tech.An Asian man killed 33 students.?

An Asian man killed 33 students in virginia tech.As far as police know the man has commited suicide.Please make time to pray for all of the family and friendsof the students that died today at Virginia Tech.Set this as a foward on your cell phone and send it to everybody you know,live.love.learn.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Why big high tech companies like Google can still innovate

Earlier this week, engineers from rock star Google has allowed this massive undertaking – the population -

for Facebook, which has about 2,000 employees. 23,000 withdrawal by Lars Rasmussen, co-creator of Google Maps and Google Wave, is one example, but it raises interesting questions about the technological innovation of enterprises uncertain:

Can companies grow and continue to be be creative and innovative? Or will smaller operations always have a monopoly in the new-ideas department?

This is especially pressing because, with this latest project, the highly ambitious e-mail replacement software called Google Wave, Rasmussen was trying to prove to himself and to Google that innovation is possible at an enormous company.

Tech employees

IBM: 400,000

Microsoft: 89,000

Apple: 49,000

Google: 23,000

Facebook: 2,000

Twitter: 300

Foursquare: 40

The Google Wave team operated like a start-up within that search-engine giant. They set up an office in Sydney, Australia, far from Google’s California headquarters, worked largely in secret (rare at a company known for its internal openness), and agreed upon incentives that would reward them if Wave succeeded — injecting some risk-reward pressure into the corporate mix.

All of that failed spectacularly. Google decided to kill Wave in August, although CEO Eric Schmidt told reporters that Google would adapt some of the back-end technology into other products.

Despite this evidence to the contrary, some business-types defend Google and the ability of big companies to come up with fresh ideas — if they’re willing to make that a priority.

“I don’t think there’s any reason why you can’t be as big as Goliath and as nimble as David,” said Jim Andrew, a senior partner at the Boston Consulting Group, which publishes a yearly list of the world’s top innovative companies in conjunction with Bloomberg Businessweek. This year, Apple, Google, Microsoft and IBM led the list. Facebook and Twitter were nowhere to be found.

“Big companies have a tremendous number of advantages that should allow them to actually be, I would argue, more innovative than a given smaller company,” Andrew said.

Chief among these advantages, of course, is money.

If a small company has a great idea, it may not be able to pull it off and bring it to market because it doesn’t have the cash to do so, he said. Big companies, by contrast, can easily “scale” something new.

On the other hand, the internet and cloud computing have greatly reduced the cost of starting and growing a tech company. Some start-ups — from Twitter to Tumblr — only need employees and server space to make their business models work. The computer power can be rented from companies like Amazon, which only charge websites for the amount of server space they use.

Another advantage: Big companies are capable of taking big risks.

The tech giants tend to have a wide range of products or services to offer — meaning they can take bets on new ideas without risking their entire business, Andrew said. Start-ups, in contrast, tend to base their future on a single product or concept. They bet big, but most of them “end up dying,” said Karim Lakhani, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School. “They go out there, they try different things and then there’s a large, large failure rate,” he said.

But small companies tend to have fewer rules, which can lead to employees having more time to be creative — and this kind of spirit just attracts more idea people.

New entrepreneurs also tend to be incredibly motivated. Seth Priebatsch, CEO of a start-up app called SCVNGR, keeps a sleeping bag under his couch so he can sleep in the office. Any time he spends not working on the app makes him feel guilty — because he worries someone else will beat him out.

And that type of work ethic is normal in the start-up world.

Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley operated earlier this year in an office with several other start-up companies, with his employees sitting at long cafeteria tables instead of desks. For some, those kinds of environments are conducive to intense work and throw-out-the-old-model thinking.

But big companies are capable of letting loose the reins and motivating employees, too.

Google, for example, famously gives its engineers 20 percent of their work time to spend on pet projects of their choosing.

Lakhani praised Google’s decision to experiment with Google Wave. It shows that the company is interested in trying new things and recognizing failures early on. The system wasn’t broken, he said — just the product.

“I applauded Google’s decision both to release it early and then to shut it down when they thought it was not going to go anywhere,” he said. “What they learned from Google Wave is that it was a technology looking for a problem — a solution looking for a problem.”

Google spokesman Aaron Zamost also said Google Wave is a success story in that it shows the big company is willing to take risks and will continue to do so.

“We want to resist large company syndrome,” he said. “Google is big — but Google is scrappy.”

Both Lakhani and Andrew said it’s easy for big companies to get too comfortable and forgo the risks that are necessary for innovation to occur.

Microsoft, for example, has done a good job of recognizing new trends and jumping on them, he said, citing the company’s decision to jump into console gaming, mobile phones and Web apps. Others, particularly high-end PC manufacturers, haven’t had such success in breaking down old business models and starting anew, he said.

Since the width of the largest employees are creative, unfortunately, often acquire more rigid governance structures and philosophies more rigid, Lakhani said. Maybe teaching a growth of Facebook can learn.

As the New York Times points out, some of the fathers of Facebook are now in motion to start their own business.

Yes, the company is still growing at rates that would be the envy of the rest of the Fortune 500. But its core business is slowing, its stock is down, its Android mobile platform generates scant revenue, and competition (hello, Facebook) is fierce. Can Google find its footing in this brave new world?

I have learned that Midland offers physically larger GMRS radio to 5 watts. And Motorola has a maximum output power 1.5 W only 1.0 watts, GMRS MH230R, so the new line is very limited.
