This is because Orbitz makes most of its profits directly ~" l>o'okidI'r-. utbtt'tlian advertising . The newest trend in the online travel industry is the movement toward a meta riJtj{fel that separates looking and booking services. Companies like Kayak and Sidestep, which are fairly light on technology, allow users to sort and filter through travel options before booking with a different agency. These companies make their profits through advertising, and steal the "first click" from online travel services that actually sell travel packages. Unlike these searching sites, Web sites hosted directly by suppliers of airfare and lodging link users directly to the source of the services desired. To keep up with these developments, Orbitz is moving beyond its core strengths of searching, booking and service. They are looking to include travel inspiration, res ear c h • collaboration and even sharing among travelers. . According to Sivley, disruptive technologies cause much of the growth that occurs in a field of business. To explain the concept of a disruptive technology. he used the example of how mini-mills overtook the steel industry in the 1970's by specializing in specific grades of steel and gradually improving the quality of their product while reducing overhead costs. He then noted that the way online travel agencies have take__ tlIe _1~0&1l similar model. He also discussed how "incumbent" businesses can still _om to keep up with technology if they create separate organizations outside of their main business to research and implement new technologies. This was the case with both Orbitz, which was purchased by travel agency Cendant, as well as HP, which created an outside organization to develop ink jet printers. Now statistics show that the top e-commerce category is travel, which is more than three times larger than any other segment of online purchases. As the first online travel agency, OrbJtz was founded In 1999 by five of the lop airlines. In 2001, Orbitz was also the first online travel site to use a matrix 00 its -Website. "We invented the matrix," said Sivley. "That was one of the things that really changed online booking and made Orbitz successful." Orbitz has stayed ahead of the curve and still maintains a strong status as the second largest online site, based upon the gross income earned from travel bookings, Orbitz now includes other related sites, including Cheap TIckets, E-bookers, Rates to Go, and Orbitz for Business, Employing 1700 employees and outsourcing 1700 more jobs in customer service and technology to both foreign and domestic workers, Orbitz records revenues of $6 billion. Approximately 80 percent of that revenue comes from sales within the U.S. and 20 percent comes from foreign sales. To current UW-Parkside students. Sivley offers this advice: take educated risks, but have a plan and an exit strategy. When a decision does not work out as planned. he suggests that, "you can't get so locked into the plan that you are afraid to change your choices," Throughout much of his career, Sivley look risks that paid off, but he would not have taken them if he didn't know the possible downfalls going into the situation. For example, after graduating from UW-Parkside in 1980. Sivley decided to apply at Accenture, a large accounting finn, which offered him great value through training, but not necessarily through the compensation he received. Sivley shared how he carne ta apply for the job through a bet he made with a fellow student from UW-Parkside, who was also an accounting major, "We were going to apply to the biggest accounting firm A question of McCoin's ethics MOLLIE EGAN tree_fingers99@yahoo.com On Feb. 20, the "New York Times" newspaper came out with a story about John McCain possibly showing favoritism for a female lobbyist, Vicki Iseman, and the companies she represents. The article mentions that the communications company she represents contributed tens of thousands of dollars to McCain campaigns. The article says that McCain advisors were worried at one point that the relationship with Ms. Iseman was romantic, so they took steps to intervene with how much McCain saw the lobbyist. The New York Times reported that a former campaign adviser described being instructed to keep Ms. Iseman away from McCain at public events. McCain urged the Federal Communications Commission to uphold laws that would help the companies that Ms. Iseman represents in 1998 and 1999. The article also states that McCain introduced a bill to create tax incentives for minority ownership of stations; Ms. Iseman represented several businesses seeking such a program. The New YorkTImes also wrote in the article that McCain tried twice to advance legislation that would permit a company to control television stations in overlapping markets, an important issue for one of Ms. Iseman's representatives. McCain released a statement to the New York Times denying all reports that he has done this, and says that it's a shame that the New York Times has lowered its standards to engage in a hit and run smear campaign. Ms. Iseman also denies all reports. McCain's friends told the New York TImes that they dismiss questions about McCain's ties to lobbyists, arguing that he has too much integrity to let such personal connections influence him. FluVirus: 1, Fill Vaccine: 0 ALEX SCHUTZ maulmail@yahoo,com The current flu season has not been so kind. Many people try to avoid the flu bug by getting a flu 'hot, and that usually helps them steer clear of the virus. Unfortunately, this year's batch of shots only cover about forty percent of the raging viruses out out there, leaving the majority free to do their dirty work with the human body. The main culprit is some thunder from down under: a strain of flu virus known as Brisbane/Ill. The Australian strain was only discovered recently this winter and was not able to be "We've got issues" onpoge added to the flu shot cocktail. It can take up to eight months to make a [lu vaccine. and when something sneaks its way in after or near the end of its completion, not much can be done. Worse yet. Brisbanefl 0 is exceedingly tough to get growing in a lab. However. there is hope as a virus that is very similar La the Australian dynamo can be more easily cultured and therefore a vaccine to that strain would also be useful against Brisbane/IO. The flu viruses are grown in chicken eggs and then ~accines are derived from those samples. Vaccines protect against three types of viruses: two from the more severe Type A flu and one from the milder Type B. As the flu virus is highly adaptive, no vaccine is completely effective, but this year's was particularly ineffective. With the discovery of the BrisbaneflO strain. hopefully next years batch of flu shots will help prevent more people from being sick. According 10 the article "Feds prescribe new recipe for flu shoe. 'Every year, the flu infects up to 20 percent of the population. hospitalizes 200,000 people and kill 36.000'. Information was taken from the article "Feds prescribe new recipe for fiu shot" by U1UrJn Neergaard found on news.yahoo. com. j 1 J I 1 f March 4, 2008 The Ranger News 2 900 Wood Road Kenosha,VVl53141 Phone:(262)595.2287 Fax: (262) 595-2295 Ads: uwp_ods@yahoo.com E-mail: rangemews@uwp.edu ditor in Chi,f Quita and Zak took some amazing photos, and since we were unable to get reporters to these events these two photographers used their cameras to tell the story. On a more serious note, 1 would like to remind everyone that our newsstands are for The Ranger News issues only--nol for garbage. flyers for events, Or anything else. I understand there are some free papers that share newsstands with us, but their space is limited to the very bottom shelves on the newsstands, not OD the upper shelves where our issues go. I've been noticing more and more "illegal" items being placed on our newsstands, and I think it is very disrespectful. Enjoy Worldfest this week, take care, and let us know how we're doing. Happy reading! will probably be just as packed, considering Worldfest is this week. We're going to cover as many of the Worldfest events as possible, but the fact of the matter is that we just don't have the manpower or time to cover every single activity. But as far as having problems go. ( think having too much content for one issue is a good problem to have--it shows that our productivity is increasing. we I re getting more reporters out to more events which means you get more information about happenings on campus. The articles have been of a good quality as well, which makes this 'problem' even better. It's not just the articles that have improved in quality and quantity--there are more photos and illustrations than we've had in previous semesters. As' an example of this. there's two photo captions in this issue: Parkside's Next Top Model and the Career Connection. Both I'm not sure if this semester has been going so well because of the amount of new staff members we have, because there's more going on on-campus (and off-campus, for that matter), or something entirely different, but I never thought [' d see the day where we would have to sort through the articles to decide what goes in what issue. I'm certainly not cornplaining- -without the ads, we had 12 pages of content this week. Once we formatted everything and placed the ads, the issne ended up being 16 pages.
