Coach K: happy at Duke: seems to have no serious NBA aspirations. If I were Mark Few I'd stay put. I find the idea that he "should" go to "a better job" or "go up to the next level" absurd. Often going up the ladder is a major step down -- Raymond Pert/Kellogg Bloggin. DFO: Raymond Pert nailed it. In my small way, I made this decisions years ago when the opinion editor of the Tacoma News-Tribune called in search of a conservative bloviator. I asked him three questions: Did I have to wear a tie to work? Could I live within 5 minutes of the office? Is Tacoma as beautiful as Coeur d'Alene? Then, I made an observation: I have the best newspapering job in the state of Idaho. Can you beat that? I've never regretted remaining here. Question: Are you happy where you're at? Or are you looking for greener fields elsewhere? .
Dueling drumsticks: Pan-fried vs. deep-fried
Atlanta — At the Southern Skillet, a meat-and-two mainstay in Roswell, Ga., there?s a fine collection of skillets hanging on the wall and a big one dangling from the ceiling like a cast-iron mobile.

School fights to save art program
The half position was the school's music teacher.
"Everyone was happy. Everyone loved her," Deborah Bright, grant manager for Project CREATES, said of Leslie Alden, the school's former art teacher. "She filled the school with the most incredible art."
When her position was cut, parents decided to do something.
"That was the catalyst to our parents coming together," Bright said.
Since 2000, Project CREATES, a nonprofit, has worked with seven schools in Tulsa to bring arts education into classrooms.
"We provide community artists to work with our teachers," Bright said.
The goal of Project CREATES is to bring the arts, both visual and performing, into everyday lessons to encourage and facilitate student learning.
The Dawn of Green Mobile Networks
Mobile phones long ago began conquering parts of the world that are far away from the nearest electrical substation. But the rising price of oil is exposing a problem with these networks. In the far reaches of places like India or Africa, where companies such as Ericsson (ERIC) or Nokia Siemens Networks, a joint venture of Nokia (NOK) and Siemens (SI), are installing new cellular base stations at a furious pace, the facilities almost always get their power from diesel-powered generators. But fuel can account for as much as two-thirds of base-station operating costs. Add to that the expense of trucking diesel over poor roads to far-flung locations and protecting the valuable fuel against theft. "Getting oil or diesel to these stations is tremendously difficult," says Mats Granryd, president of Ericsson India.
