These educators have seen what works
I'm haunted by a recurring vision. A limitless throng of yammering teachers, think tankers and ivory tower types descend upon those of us interested in education, burying us in their latest books. Down onto our psyches they thunder, snowboarding atop an avalanche of hardbacks and paperbacks — billions and billions of them — each offering some new solution to schooling's woes.
It's impossible to dig out from under education's required reading, let alone to sort the credible thinkers from the crackpots.

Registration hassles must be addressed
We were all drawn to this school by different effects as we sat in the early days of January, praying and then deliberating as to where we would spend our next four years. We weighed choices; snow versus sand, large class size compared to small, division three football against five national championships. These seemingly infinite details danced around the positive and negative checklists of our minds and tilted our hearts towards Miami. Although these intricacies might have varied across our student body, we all find common ground in the fundamental reason that we chose this University. There may be times when we do not connect to this feeling-doubts are natural and are a part of life, but deep down we share a common faith in the quality of education we receive at our institution. It is the reason why we are here.
Drumming up a following: Steely Dan man a fan favorite
When Keith Carlock earned a trip to New York in 1989 as a member of the McDonald's All-American band, his peers from Clinton High School watched his appearance on NBC's Today show together in the band hall. "As the camera panned, and the kids got a glimpse of Keith, every single one of them cheered like crazy," recalls Charles Wilson, then the band director at Clinton High who now holds the same position at the University of Mississippi. "When one person gets that sort of publicity and notoriety, many times it will cause jealousy among the others. But not with Keith. "That's because he was a team player, really well liked and everybody knew how hard he had worked to develop his skills. I use him as an example in my classroom to this day." Carlock's impressive resume continues to grow.
'Hero' went from techie to actor Oka's role is audience favorite
"Heroes" actor Masi Oka's talents are featured in the latest "Star Wars" movies, but you have to know where to look. Oka, now starring in this season's breakout hit TV show, didn't play a fighter pilot, second-tier Jedi or even an alien buried in makeup or latex. "The (scene) I really like is when Obi Wan and Jango Fett are chasing through the asteroid field in 'Episode II,' " Oka says. "They came to me and said, 'We need to destroy this huge asteroid into millions of pieces and don't have the software to do it. Can you help us?' I said, 'Yeah.' " Most "Heroes" fans know Oka as Hiro, the enthusiastic computer programmer who discovers teleportation and time-traveling skills that help him fight the forces of evil on the NBC drama -- which returns tonight with new episodes. His real story is almost equally fantastic.
