Today marks the 25th anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger NASA commemorates.

(L to R): Mission Specialist, Ellison S. Onizuka, Teacher in Space Participant Sharon Christa McAuliffe, Payload Specialist, Greg Jarvis and Mission Specialist, Judy Resnik. Front row (L to R): Pilot Mike Smith, Commander, Dick Scobee and Mission Specialist, Ron McNair.

Wayne Hale, a former space shuttle program manager and flight director who was working at NASA during both space shuttle accidents said:

"It just always gives us pause at this time of the year, those of us that are in the industry, to reflect on our sad experiences in the past and the lives of those that made such a great contribution to our country,"

It says from Fox News,

While an accident review board never conclusively determined what ignited the fire, a series of design flaws were blamed for making the module so flammable and difficult to quickly escape from. The investigation into the disaster delayed the Apollo program by more than a year-and-a-half and led to redesigns for the Apollo module, as well as procedural changes at NASA.

"We have not forgotten the lessons from Apollo, and I sure hope we as an agency don’t forget these lessons we have learned," said Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for space operations.

Christa Mcauliffe was one of the crews who died from the accident. The space shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds after lifting off on the orbiter's 10th flight on Jan. 28, 1986.

In President Obama's Speech of the Union Address, he mentioned Race to the Top (R2T). The president intends to replace No Child Left Behind (NCLB).

Obama said, “Race to the Top should be the approach we follow this year as we replace No Child Left Behind with a law that is more flexible and focused on what’s best for our kids,”

According to the president’s speech, the idea of R2T was developed by both Republican and Democratic governors throughout the U.S. The program is funded by the ED Recovery Act to the tune of $4.35 billion. R2T is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

States apply for funding by earning points in a variety of categories. There is a total of 500 points, all told. Because of the competitive nature of the funding, many states have taken action to ensure that they do well enough to receive their share of the money.

Meanwhile, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) delivered her own rebuttal to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday night despite Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) being tapped to give the official Republican response.

Keith Olbermann Leaves MSNBC after being fired by news company.

A statement from NBC Universal revealed the move late Friday.

"MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract," it read. "The last broadcast of 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' will be this evening. MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC's success and we wish him well in his future endeavors."

Olbermann ended his show Friday night announcing his departure in typical deadpan style, evoking scenes from the film "Network" and thanking viewers for keeping him on the air for eight years.

"In the mundane world of television goodbyes, reality is laughably uncooperative," Olbermann said before launching into a story about his exit from ESPN 13 years ago.

"As God as my witness, in the commercial break just before the emotional moment, the producer got into my earpiece and he said, 'um, can you cut it down to 15 seconds so we get in this tennis result from Stuttgart,'" he said, half-smiling, pausing for composure.

"So I'm grateful I have a little more time to sign off here. Regardless, this is the last edition of Countdown."

 Olbermann was suspended for 2days last November (2010) after NBC found out that he donated to three Democrats seeking federal office. One of them was U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The said donations violated an NBC policy that requires employees of the news organization to obtain permission ahead of any political donations or activities that could be deemed as a conflict of interest.

Google Offers, the upcoming Google product to compete Groupon. Searchengineland.com posted from their website the confirmation of Google about the said product.

Google has confirmed that it is preparing a service called “Google Offers,” designed to compete with the popular social buying site Groupon.

Google has told Search Engine Land:

Google is communicating with small businesses to enlist their support and participation in a test of a pre-paid offers/vouchers program. This initiative is part of an ongoing effort at Google to make new products, such as the recent Offer Ads beta, that connect businesses with customers in new ways. We do not have more details to share at this time, but will keep you posted.

Late last year, every tech followers were aware that Google bid their price to buy the small tech site Groupon which "features a daily deal on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in more than 300 markets and 35 countries, and soon beyond (read: Space). We have about 1,000 people working in our Chicago headquarters, a growing office in Palo Alto, CA, as well as regional offices in Europe and Latin America and local account executives in many cities."

That's how big players like Google do. If they found a huge market on a certain product/website they eventually offers to buy it and if they fail they counter it with another product. For instance, Google also failed to buy Friendster long time ago.

In the search market, no doubt, Google is the leading brand of all the competing websites. When

» "Where did you get those lips?" he asked one young lady, followed by, "You had me sold from the second you laid eyes on me. Wait ... "

» "The sparkle in your eye is like, forget about it," Tyler said to a baby-face 15-year-old hopeful. "Looking at you, I'm closing my eyes and it's a work of art, a thing of beauty ... and I will finish that off with a double helping of ooh-yeah."

Anne Hathaway Catwoman in the upcoming Batman installment dubbed as Dark Knight Rises, a two-thumbs up.

During the selection,Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Kate Mara and Charlotte Riley were the actresses who compete against the Catwoman's role.

Until Warner Bros. decided announced in a press release Wednesday (January 19) that Hathaway has been cast as Selina Kyle, a well-established character in DC Comics lore who is the alter-ego of Catwoman.

Director Christopher Nolan said in the press release.

"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story," 

Featuring Anne Hathaway as Catwoman is surely another movies' asset but should it be more exciting? Now that the movie have Anne Hathaway? We'll know it when Dark Knight Rises is already on big screen.

Posted from MTV News

"She definitely has the [acting] chops," the studio source said. "She can 'go there' with this role.  Obviously, Chris [Nolan] sees something in her that's fantastic that we haven't seen or have seen ... plus Hathaway has longevity, a steady career arc and growth in appearing in big films."

Anne's sexiness and hotness should not overwhelm her Catwoman role or else the movie will surely flop. But on a second thought, I'm expecting Anne will deliver us a great Catwoman compare to Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer. Peace out.

Have you noticed today's Google doodle shown from the image above?

The Google doodle today was specially made for our birthday celebrant today named Paul Cézanne. Born  January 19 1839 and died October 22, 1906. According to Wikipedia, Cézanne is a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavor to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cézanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed. Read more here.

The 2010 Grammy Award winner for the best new artist category chosen by Falcons to sang the national anthem Saturday’s divisional playoff game against Green Bay.
