Two Thirds Of State Students Suck At Math - Still
2009-10-15 19:05:00 Even if you don't give a whit about CPS or poor minority kids, these results should give you pause when you think about what we're being told by the city (which, using a different much easier test, gives a much higher number).
Prechter Stands Alone Again? He?s Done the Math
2009-09-23 15:41:00 By Neil Beers So Bob Prechter is bearish again.

David Patton is expected to join the club tomorrow and then we'll a few more players later on.Lou talked at length in the pre-game media session about the reasons for the Cubs' struggles this year and he kept getting back to an offense that will produce a lot fewer runs than the club that led the league with 855 runs last season. The numbers are just too difficult to ignore. I know we like to pound on the chemistry issue...
Math versus Maths
2009-08-31 04:52:00 Lately I've been increasingly bewildered by the use of the word "maths".

Correction: My Jerk Friends Note That I Misused a Math Term
2009-08-28 14:25:00 Photo credit: Morguefile I have a few really smart friends who are complete jerks. These jerk friends of mine have pointed out that in a recent blog post about the launch of the ChicagoNow network ("I Have No Idea What to Write for the Chicago Now Launch," 8.10.09) I inadvertently used the word "logarithm" when I should have used the word "algorithm." These jerkass friends of mine, Jeremy and Jack, pointed out that a logarithm is the power or exponent to which the base of a number must be raised in order to produce the number (for instance the logarithm of 1,000 to a base of 10 is 3 because to get 1,000, you need to multiply 10 x...

You can put your OPINION into your comment.And BluFrog will print your comment -- they're cool that way -- and then, they might give you prizes for it.Why would they do that, you ask?

The redundant story: math and the future of journalism
2009-06-01 17:27:00 I have long argued the rather unoriginal position that journalism’s mission to inform has its roots in religious ‘infotainment’ both popular and intellectual - moralising editorials replaced moralising sermons, etc. But I’ve been struggling to express why that mission seems such a recurrent trope in history. The use of stories for entertaining and moral purposes is clear ...

2009-05-12 13:52:00 I've been trying for two weeks now to get in touch with Gary Lockwood -- who you'll know as "the other guy in 2001: A Space Odyssey." I had figured to contact all three of the stars, but Gary Lockwood has stumped me, mostly because of MySpace.See, the only (easy) way to get in touch with Gary Lockwood is through his Myspace page, which required me to try to remember my old Myspace password. When I couldn't do that, I had to re-log in and then look up Gary again and try to send him a message... but I couldn't because he's "set to away." Whatever that means.So his Myspace page said I could leave him a comment, only to do that you have to be "friends" with someone. I sent a request to friend Gary Lockwood, but he hasn't answered yet.So for now, I'm stymied by Gary Lockwood, and I moved on to the next group on the list: Murder Mystery, the band. They also have a Myspace page, which you can find here. More importantly, they have a song, "Love Astronaut," which I think is am...

Let?s say that you are walking at a pace of 3 miles per hour. There is a 10 mph wind at your back. That doesn?t mean that you?re really going 13 miles per hour, right?

25,000 under 25... it sounds like hard math, but it's not.
2008-11-30 04:38:00 I'm always so stumped over presents to give to some family members. Dad? My brother-in-law in West Virginia? What about my nephews? It's hard to know what they might want, and harder to find something they might like that's affordable.This year, though, Kmart really came to my rescue. They've got 25,000 different things in their store that cost less than $25 -- so if you had to buy 25,000 people presents, you could get each of them a different thing from Kmart, and each thing would cost $25 or less.That, together with their Kmart.com website, solved my Christmas dilemma, because they've got games galore, and who doesn't love a game? I headed on over to the website, andClick! An Uno game for my brother-in-law.Then Click! Connect Four for the nephew. And...Click! An oak Chess and checkers set for Dad -- he's old school. $9.99 for that -- way under $25.I could've kept clicking 24,997 more times and each one would be less than $25 -- so it's possible to click away and aw...
