Coffeebreak 9/27/2007

On this morning’s Coffeebreak:

Rick’s guest was Steve Moss, Sports Director* for WKYT. Moss has been working with WKYT for 19 years.
Topics for discussion involved Q&A on how WKYT goes about planning for coverage of high school events, and University of Kentucky events.
Several references to newscaster Amber Philpott, Cynthiana native–HCHS Class of 1999, were made.
Sponsor’s of this morning’s Coffeebreak were:
BluegrassTradingPost.com, Bourbon Community Hospital, Jetubs, Cockrell’s Auto Center, Whalen & Company, Eastside Pharmacy, the Harrison County Board of Education, Chase Jewelers, and Joe Cochran – local State Farm Insurance representative.

*I believe that I had heard Rick announce that Steve is the sports director, however it can be noted that the sports blog credits Steve as the Executive Sports Producer and Senior Sports Videographer. I do not know what credits are correct. – Jeremiah

Outlook Connector

I’m upset… it seems that Microsoft recently caught a glitch that was allowing Outlook Connector to download mail from Office Live Basics accounts. Wah! Now I can’t get the mail from my sites.
That sucks.
Microsoft is, however, still allowing the access through the use of Windows Live Mail… thing is, I hate Live Mail–it’s just a funky re-write of Outlook Express…
Oh, well…

Coffeebreak 9/26/2007

A run down of this morning’s Coffeebreak (for anyone who actually cares and reads about it) will have to come at a later date… While I was listening and taking notes, I was doing so in the car, while on my way to Lexington to sell plasma (and just returned).
I do not have the time at this moment to write anything on this morning’s show, for I’ve got a bunch of housework to do, and a few more errands to run before I go to class tonight.
Sorry…

Ebay Hacked, User Info Posted

Ebay Hacked, User Info Posted
An anonymous reader writes “This morning a hacker posted the personal contact information and credit card data of 1,200 ebay users on the eBay.com Trust & Saftey forums. eBay pulled the Trust & Safety forums off line, but not before one user made a video of the hacked forums and posted it on youtube.com. eBay response is on the eBay chatter page, and seems to try and down play this “fraudster”‘s activity.”

Germs Taken Into Space May Come Back Deadlier

Germs Taken Into Space May Come Back Deadlier
westlake writes “Sounds like the plot for a B-movie, doesn’t it? Germs go into space and come back stronger and deadlier than ever. Except, it really happened. In a medical experiment, salmonella carried about the space shuttle in the fall of 2006 proved far more lethal to lab mice than their earth-bound source. 90%% dead vs. 60%% dead in twenty-six days, with half the mice dying at 1/3 the oral dose. Apparently 167 genes in the space-evolved strain had changed. The likely cause: In microgravity the force of fluids passing over the cells is low, similar to conditions in the gastrointestinal tract, and the cells adapted quickly to the new environment.”
