Even if Alaeze had focused more on academics in school and qualified in time to enroll at Maryland, he may have still ended up in trouble. However, with football as a distraction, teammates he grew up with and the support of the local community, Alaeze might not have gone down the wrong path. Instead of being a home-grown star for Maryland entering his junior season in College Park, Alaeze faces the possibility of life in jail. Having spoken with him throughout the recruiting process, a sadness creeps over me as I write these words. To me, he was a nice, polite, funny and vibrant kid. I can’t help but think that if he got his score and enrolled at Maryland as intended, I wouldn’t be writing about him in this context. There’s no way to know if things would have been different for Alaeze with a qualifying score.

GPS Tagging Is for Wild Animals, Not Truants
Washington Post – Feb 14, 2007
Fund the things that work – but in the same situations where they worked. We have an educational system founded on theoretical educational and psychological concepts that at best only work under very specific conditions – conditions often never found in many public school systems. Worse the administrators of both both lower and higher education systems in the US are often home grown in their institutions and are very inadequately trained, or not trained at all as professional managers. I know a number of full professors across the country and the abuse that they – college faculties put up with from incompetent and corrupt college administrators makes the cut throat corporate world I live in now – seem mild and timid by comparison. We need to a major over haul of how we educate and how we manage educators and the educational process. The hand writing is on the wall for many colleges where online institutions are putting them out of business with far lower overheads, less waste, and better course presentation materials. A new paradigm in college courses is developing rapidly and it will be interesting to see how many bricks and mortar institutions and the wasteful empires that they have become – survive.

(From Hull Daily Mail) As the debate over the number of overseas players in our game warms up, here’s another hot talking point – reducing the number of games we play. As people are aware from last week’s column, I’m not one of those coaches who believe reducing the quota to four or five, which includes Kolpak or EU passport holders, will dilute the quality of the competition. I’m in favour of a reduction, as I said last week, because I believe it will.

Now that we've taken the legal bricks out of our backpack we can focus on growing our product and our customer base, which now totals over 600, more quickly. ”
Outlook has been doing just that. While many of its PM rivals are pre-occupied with integrating acquired technologies and migrating customers onto newer platforms, OutlookSoft has been busy innovating around its namesake PM suite, which Wilmington said is completely home-grown. The company has completely re-architected its platform for SOA and launched OutlookSoft 5 in September last year. “Our unified architecture is what many of our customers rave about. We're modular but don't face the same synchronization issues as our rivals who have added to their PM suites by acquiring different technologies. ”
OutlookSoft 5 also adds a new process-twist to PM by offering a set of pre-built Business Process Flows that are intended broaden out PM applications beyond the office of finance to other operational areas of the enterprise.
