Curios.
A guy kills four people in Atlanta, and it receives hours of live TV coverage, including accounts of victims who weren’t killed.
A guy kills seven people in Wisconsin (then himself) and if you blink too long, you might miss the story.
Guess the seven victims weren’t as “important” as the four.
Good News For UT Basketball
Well, potentially good news.
“UT Brings End to Buzz Era.”
I guess this won’t ultimately turn out to be good news unless this coaching search turns out better than the last two.

Here’s a randomly-picked example.
Training Update
Earlier in the week I noted that I had signed up for the Knoxville half marathon. I’m almost half way through my accelerated training program, so how are things going?
I’ve done two 11 mile runs this week. Yes, I’ve felt my muscles the entire week (especially after the first run) and my pace was quite slow (9 minutes/mile). But at least I’m pretty confident I should be able to chug through the event without collapsing on Cherokee Boulevard.
Now my primary concern is not the distance but the start time. Who set this up at 7 am? Not only will it likely be freezing cold, but more importantly it creates a dilemma with my eating schedule. I could wing a 5 mile run without eating in advance, but I don’t think that’s a good idea here. And generally I need to wait three or four hours after a meal to do serious exercise, or I don’t feel so good.
So what does this mean? Do I need to get up at 3:30 am for breakfast? Doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.
Not Keeping Up
Dave at Opinari.net discusses how broadcast radio isn’t keeping up with the times.
Forget special feeds; I’d be happy with a local station that just played “good” music.
Costly Return On Investment
Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice admits he scalped several of his 12 Super Bowl tickets this season, in violation of NFL policy.
According to the report he made at least $1,300 per ticket. Unfortunately for him, I bet this little stunt costs him a whole lot more.
