An Indiana State University graduate student died Wednesday as the result of injuries sustained in a drowning incident over the weekend at an eastside apartment complex.
The Marion County Coroner's Office has confirmed that Abhinay Nyalakonda, 22, died as the result of "anoxic brain injury due to drowning," according to an office spokeswoman. She explained that oxygen was cut off to the brain.
Nyalakonda had just started working at the ISU Student Recreation Center, an ISU spokesman said. He was a computer science major and had been studying at ISU since 2013.
The incident occurred about 6 p.m. Saturday in the pool at Village Quarter on the city's eastside, according to Terre Haute police. Witnesses said the man had been fine and was splashing around. Later, they found him at the bottom of the pool and got him out.
An off-duty police officer performed CPR on Nyalakonda, who was taken by ambulance to Union Hospital and later transferred to IU Health Methodist Hospital.

I can look at football, but I can't see it. I may seem to be staring at the flatscreen high-def TV, but ask me anything about the game – the score, a huge play that just happened, which team is which – and I'm a total blank.
However, I can talk about the Super Bowl's , the unflattering way football players' butts are packed into shiny tights, my aversion to concussion-seeking sports, how Madonna miraculously blasted back into the innards of the stage or shattered into anti-matter or worm-holed herself into another dimension in the name of World Peace or whatever the heck happened to her. Has anyone seen Madonna since? Should we be worried?
This may be the first Game in my lifetime, no joke, that I've ever gone out of my way to celebrate. There have been other Super Bowls with the Giants to root for (only a few years ago) and there have been plenty of parties no matter who is competing, but for whatever reason, this was my first. Take my American citizenship away if you must but I think I might prefer that other football: soccer.
As a first-time experience though, I give it a few guacamole-covered thumbs up. Not for the football of course but everything swirling around it. My family gathered in the highly carpeted and very kid-friendly basement of a friend's house. Here we deposited our little ones on a huge blanket covered with bowls of snacks and and watched them gorge themselves on chips and dips for about four hours straight.
In retrospect, my approach to the evening was certainly too feminine. Breaking the man-food rules (grease, cheese, meat), I brought quiche (with spinach and mushrooms, no less). The drink in my glass was a Bermuda blue in color and from one of those odd-shaped misty bottles labelled Hypnotique. Add splash of orange juice and I was a believer.
One might assume my allegiances were torn as I am a New Englander (hailing from Connecticut, and not the NYC commuter borough quadrant) from birth. But I've lived and loved and rooted for all things NY ever since I hightailed it out of town after college. Like bagels and chocolate egg creams and pickles, if not exactly football teams. On this night, I was tempted to take my hostess's approach, who was rooting for the Patriots because "Tom Brady is hot." Who? I asked.
So it was the food and not the tight pants that excited me most, then the drinks, then Madonna, and lastly the commercials, or maybe first the drinks...
Did Madonna's choreography seem super-stiff? For such a yoga expert, she seemed tight. But those stage effects, if that cosmic computerized thing even was a stage, were hard to grasp. And that man bouncing near her on an elastic cable? Words can't describe.
Alas, my true loyalties took hold at the end of the third quarter, when, rather than watch the end of the game, I whispered to my husband that it was time for us to get our weary and chip-bloated children home to bed. Putting the kids to bed always beats anything.

Jerry Bywaters, famous for the landscapes and still lifes that would help define Lone Star Regionalism, enjoyed a different artistic life as an SMU student: He drew cartoons for the Hilltop humor magazine The Crimson Colt, which he also founded and edited. His devotion to humor in art carried over into the caricatures he collected from old British Vanity Fair magazines.
Those words and images found their way into SMUs Jerry Bywaters Collection and now have become the heart of a new Hamon Arts Library exhibition. The Art of the Caricature: Prints from Vanity Fair, 1869-1900 runs through April 29 in the Hamons Mildred Hawn Gallery, featuring 40 full-page examples of Victorian and Edwardian caricature from the British weekly.
Once these caricatures gained popularity with the British public, most of the celebrities portrayed overcame their reluctance and accepted them as having some cachet, says guest curator Beverly Mitchell.
Some of the magazines targets achieved lasting fame, either through accomplishment or through accident of history; others, their heyday long forgotten, have won a measure of immortality through their printed parodies. One subject, actor Henry Irving, has another connection to SMU: His stage makeup kit has been part of the McCord/Renshaw Theatre Collection since the 1940s and is displayed next to his caricature.
Artists Carlo Pellegrini and Sir Leslie Ward, under the pen names APE and SPY, created many of the drawings whimsical yet elegant portraits of socialites, politicians and other men of the day such as artists Frederic Leighton and Thomas Nast, novelist Emile Zola and Russian tsar Alexander III. The small handful of women profiled included scientist Marie Curie (depicted with her husband, Pierre) and Georgina Weldon, who earned notoriety by acting as her own divorce lawyer after her husband tried to have her declared legally insane.
Founder and editor Thomas Gibson Bowles provided the accompanying tongue-in-cheek biographies under his own pseudonym, Jehu Junior. As Vanity Fairs own name suggests, Bowles had a fondness for skewering celebrity that shows through, Mitchell says. He took a special interest in selecting these caricatures, and therefore the prints and text do tend to reflect his point of view.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. The Hamon is open from 8 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday; Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday from 1 p.m. to midnight.
This story is excerpted from the upcoming Spring 2007 issue of Annotations, published twice a year by the Central University Libraries. Visit the Hamon Arts Library online.

As cute as she is morbid, beneath Laura's tiny exterior lies the soul of an artist... a dark and twisted soul, that leads her to create horrific paintings so disturbing, they even make Adam and Joe cringe. Laura is the little Latina who has captured Joe's heart, and is his biggest supporter—both romantically and financially. Joe returns the favor, encouraging her to follow her passion for painting and by being her biggest champion.
Lance Rockett is the front man of the local Van Halen tribute band Diver Down, and the head of the cable station where Adam and Joe work... which also makes Lance their boss. Stuck in the '80s, and consistently rocking leather pants, spandex shirts and teased blonde hair, this walking cloud of Aquanet clings to the belief that "something big" is right around the corner, and that glam is coming back. Lance is just as serious about his job at the station as he is about his music, running the business with a healthy dose of excitement and threats, and endlessly micromanaging Adam and Joe. Although the guys know everything about his music ventures, Lance's personal life is tightly under wraps, keeping the details of his sexual preferences frustratingly ambiguous and doused in innuendo.
A figment of Adam's imagination, Oderus is the warped Jiminy Cricket to Adam's Pinocchio, and the exact opposite of everything a guardian angel should be. The foul-smelling Oderus lives in Adam's closet, occasionally emerging to offer sincere-yet-terrible advice on life and love. Fortunately, Adam can usually see through it and glean some wisdom to help him with his dilemma.
Hard-working and a little high-strung, Adam is the hopeless romantic of the group. Ceaselessly dating, in an attempt to fill the void left by Corri—the childhood love that he has never gotten over—Adam goes through more girls than the killer in THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE. This has gotten him into some pretty precarious situations, with a list of lovers that includes psychos, hookers and scream queen Danielle Harris. Adam shares an apartment with Joe, his best friend, co-worker, and partner-in-crime. Together, the two have set out to escape their job at the local public access channel, and become big- time horror filmmakers.
Adam's best friend since first grade, where they bonded over a love of Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, Joe is the driving force behind the duo—constantly cooking up a variety of ideas and schemes to help get their films made. Cheap and relentless, Joe will do whatever he can to save a buck. He constantly pushes Adam's hot buttons, and leans on the support of his girlfriend, Laura, whom he has been serious with since the two were first introduced by Adam and Corri in college. Sometimes uncouth, but always loyal, Joe keeps the Adam and Joe duo committed to their dream of genre stardom.
Witty and intelligent, Corri is Adam's first love—the one that got away. The two were high school sweethearts until the relationship was cut short in college, when Corri decided she needed some "space." Since returning to Holliston for a nursing position at Boston's Mass General Hospital, the two have struck up an awkward friendship. Beautiful and single, she still drives Adam crazy, as the lovestruck lothario continues to pursue her... with varying results.

CLEARWATER BEACH, Fla. -- The main speaker at Monday's New York State delegation breakfast at the Republican National Convention was State Senate Majority Leader Dean G. Skelos, and for good reason.
As he was introducing the Long Island legislator, state GOP Chairman Edward F. Cox referred to his own study of the top 10 Democratic states in the nation, with only New York boasting a Republican chamber in its legislature.
"His dedication to do what is right for New York State and his political skill in getting it done is the reason we have the majority party in the New York State Senate," he said of the veteran lawmaker.
Skelos then launched into a list of accomplishments in the last two years, which he claimed has ended widespread use of the word "dysfunction" in Albany. And while he was quick to blame Democrats generally for a host of evils, he never mentioned Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo or Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
The only Democrat Skelos specifically targeted was Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, who he acknowledged will give Republican attorney Wendy Long a "tough race" this year.
"One day she's Annie Oakley and the next day she's Jane Fonda," he said of Gillibrand's shifting stands on gun control.
--Robert J. McCarthy


text: You're Peyton Manning. It's time to make a decision. You have three teams in your sights - Denver, San Francisco and Tennessee. You'd rather not go to an NFC team, because you'd rather not compete against brother Eli for a Super Bowl berth and the top NFC teams (the Giants, Green Bay, San Francisco, New Orleans) all look tougher than the AFC competition. In Tennessee, you'd be going back to the state where you're so comfortable due to your college career, and you have a solid team with a great running back. In Denver, you have a legend for team president (John Elway), a strong defense, a good offensive line and a weak division. But San Francisco clearly is the best team of the three, with an elite defense and a great coaching staff. What do you do?

One of my favorite things to do almost any time of year is to visit the Ronald Reagan Museum and Library—but to visit it during Christmastime is such a beautiful experience. This holiday season we will, once again, drive up to Simi Valley for a lovely weekend of educational and historical enlightenment as we tour "An American Christmas" at the museum.
We will enjoy 25 beautifully decorated and warmly lit trees representing defining moments in America's road to greatness, from the Revolutionary Era to today. Each tree reflects the life and times of American society and culture of each decade between 1770 and 2010 and beyond, thus tracing the evolution of America. Through the use of lights, ornaments and decorations, each tree becomes its own piece of magnificent art. Also on display will be a collection of beautiful hand-crafted Menorahs that were given to President Reagan while in the White House.
This will be my eighth time visiting the museum...I think. I'm beginning to lose count. It will be my son's third time and my husband's fourth time. Maybe I just need to begin combining all of those and start using vague terms like "multiple times." This year we have invited another couple—long-time friends who have never been to the museum—so we are excited to show them our family name in the Flight Registry of Air Force One (something you could have easily purchased with a certain donation amount).
We will enjoy a relaxing weekend at the beautiful Grand Vista Hotel Simi Valley where the sports bar and restaurant will no doubt be one of the highlights of my son's trip, while I will opt for a therapeutic swim in the heated pool!
Visiting the museum can take anywhere from three to five hours if you truly want to enjoy the experience. Throughout the year there are rotating exhibits, including An American Christmas, The Cavalry, and others—as well as the permanent exhibits, which include: The Oval Office, a stunning replica of President Reagan's Oval Office with some original furnishings and art; The State Dinner; The Berlin Wall; Air Force One; The Limosine, where Reagan "forgot to duck"; The Theatre Room, which features looping videos of historical moments in Reagan's life and administration as well as famous clips from his movie career; and incredible displays of diplomatic gifts, home at Rancho del Cielo, and gorgeous evening dresses donned by the petite size 2 Nancy Reagan.
The museum is ever-changing to stay fresh and exciting, which is why I love to go back often. I am excited to see that the newly renovated museum will feature the following interactive and I bet you can guess which one I can't wait to participate in:
- Act in a movie with Ronald Reagan
- Deliver President Reagan's inaugural address on the steps of the U.S. Capitol
- Set the table for a state dinner
- Discover President Reagan's economic policies while playing six interactive games
- Read the president's handwritten diary by digitally turning the pages
- Ride a horse alongside President Reagan at Rancho del Cielo
So, if you have the opportunity to visit the Ronald Reagan Museum and Library, I highly encourage it—and I offer these few museum etiquette tips when visiting any museum:
- Listen to the docent: The very first thing upon entering a museum is to give your attention to the docent (fancy name for tour guide). This is your most elementary etiquette characteristic: respect. The docent will proceed to give you the rules to follow when inside the exhibit (most of which are below).
- Pack lightly: There is no need to lug in a bulky backpack or huge purse that can annoyingly bump into others or heaven forbid, knock over a gorgeous glass item in the gift shop, another amazing part of the museum you won't want to miss.
- No cameras, unless stipulated by docent in certain areas: Constant flashing by cameras disturbs the tour for others and are usually prohibited in most museums.
- No food, drink, or gum: Do I really need to say this?
- Voice level: Keep your voice level low to moderate so that others may concentrate on their own interpretation of what they are viewing at the time.
- No touching: Items can be damaged, broken, and/or lose value if tampered with too much. If items are encased, keep your oily fingers off the glass. Museums usually have a high standard of impeccable cleanliness and The Reagan Museum is the pinnacle of this standard.
- Patience: Take your time. Give others a bit of distance. Allow tourists to enjoy the art, artifact, film, etc. without you breathing down their neck and rushing them. Part of the pleasure of visiting a museum is to take the time to interpret a piece, relive a bit of history, and absorb the plethora of information and effort put into the exhibit.
- Unplug: Turn cell phones to vibrate mode, remove your ear buds, and take a few hours away from the fast life. Teens who like to multi-task by listening to music at the same time they are viewing the exhibit is not a good idea.
- Thank the docent: Docents take the time to explain different aspects of the exhibit as well as direct the tourists along the way. Be sure to thank them after each effort and upon your departure, thank them again. They are volunteers who love what they do and being appreciated for that is a well-received moment in their day.
I hope I have inspired you to visit a museum near you, or if you are in the southern California area, you now feel encouraged to visit the The Ronald Reagan Museum, where I am sure you will walk away with increased awareness and education and more than likely, a desire to visit again...and again...and again.

So, i had some time the other night to watch some movies for once. I went on Rottentomatoes.com to see if I should watch Let me In or My soul to take and i was extremely surprised to see that Let me In had such a high rating for a movie in this genre. Usually on rottentomato the only horror movies with high ratings are the classics. (My soul to take only got a 8 percent while Let me in got a 89 percent..) Now, while rottentomato isn't always right, they do have pretty good judgement for the most part. To make a long story short, I watched Let Me In and was very pleasantly surprised with how it came out. It had my attention the whole time and both of the children in it played their parts very well.
Was anyone else pleasantly surprised with this movie? The concept of it just from reading the description seems to boring and overdone, but when I watched it I couldn't believe how great it was! The description doesn't do it justice.

Fairly aggressive pour to get the desired head. Golden color with active carbonation. Nothing overly inviting to look at.
Smell is fresh and clean. First sniff has me thinking its a mild IPA leaning towards a Pale Ale. Yep, the nose had it right. This tastes like a Pale or a watered down IPA however you want to look at it. Malt presence is almost like a second run. Hops are towards the back end with a bit of spice to finish weak and watered.
Notes: Pass. Will not seek out.

I didn't have an appropriate receptacle to decant this bottle, so I'm drinking it out of the bottle. Sticking my nose down the bottle neck didn't give me much - some grassy hop scent, which turned vaguely floral as the brew warmed a bit, but definitely not a remarkable nose. Tastewise, the malts are mostly covered by hop flavor, which is fine for this hop-loving reviewer, but the hops mostly taste bitter and grassy. There just isn't the rich complexity of fruity/floral/pine/citrus that one can get with good hopping. I'm wondering if the hops were mostly added late in the boil, imparting mostly bitterness and less flavor....
At least the beer is very drinkable. The carbonation and crisp (=bitter) lack of complexity makes a brew that is easy to knock back. Provided you like knocking back IPAs. Good, but not stellar.

A&S - Pours a light amber with a finger of eggshell colored head. Smells mostly of malt, and some yeast. No hops coming through on the nose.
T&M - Light malt and citrus hops on the front, as the hop bitterness grows, so does the alcohol burn on the malt. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, however the hops sort of bite a little more than expected, so as it warms it can be a little unappealing.
O - Overall a decent session IPA if its available around you, the somewhat aggressive hop characters in the hop presence may turn off some drinkers, but for a hot summer day this brew really hits the spot. Cheers!

A solid amber colored brew with a fair white cover and decent lacing. The aroma says subtle bubblegum fruit medley going on with an accent on alcohol tinged pineapple. The flavor brings fruit nougat sweetness with a hayseed hop, rye biscuit flavors mixed nicely. It's medium bodied, a tad resinous with a fine but thorough carbonation. The taste seems to end up being kind of non-descript, maybe a touch of banana in there. A little watery perhaps. Overall, worth a try but not a future favorite for me.

12 oz bottle into a Perfect Pint.
A: On the bronze side for a pale ale, perfectly clear and very effervescent, supporting a pretty creamy white head. Pretty nice looking, if a bit dark.
S: I don't get too much hops on the nose--just a mild grassy and metallic bit, with the barest touch of bready malt. Pretty meh, though I have no idea how old this is....
T: I kinda wish this were only bready malt--the hops are not that good, and taste as metallic (or more) than they smell. There's some redeeming bitterness in the finish, but otherwise, this is not all that good for an IPA.
M: Perhaps the best aspect of this beer: good carbonation and full mouthfeel. A bit of alcohol is apparent, but mild.
O: I'd pass this up.

Just in case you're wondering, dolly varden is a species of fish from the char family, common in the Pacific Northwest, hence the picture of the fish on the label. 12oz brown bottle with no freshness date to be found. Picked up a 6-pack of these at the local Jewel/Osco store in Glendale Heights, IL for $6.99. I never heard of this beer before so I got it to cure my curiosity.
The beer poured a honey-gold color with a touch of orange in it and made a nice 1½-finger white head that lasted a little over a minute. Lacing was decent.
Even with a few swirls, I swear I couldn't smell anything in this beer.
Definite malt sweetness and even more definite hop bitterness, yet no real pizzaz to this one. It's OK, but bland. I can taste the pale malt and the hops are a mix of grapefruit and pine, but there just isn't enough of them in here.
Crisp and well carbonated mouthfeel. Light to medium in body.
Not an in-your-face hoppy IPA, but easy to drink and enjoyable for the price.

Served in a Buffalo Bills shaker pint glass.
Thanks to some LZ fishermen BAs for sharing this bottle!
What better beer is there to accompany the consumption of some hand-caught rainbow trout, eh? It pours a clear sunrise semi-russet-amber topped by a finger of dirty white foam. The nose comprises apple juice, orange zest, and flowers. The taste holds notes of orange zest, caramel, ruby red grapefruit, and orange peel. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a sorta syrupy feel. Overall, an okay IPA at best, one that really doesn't pop in any way, though it also doesn't really offend, either.

A - Kinda thin & golden, no head or lacing.
S - No hops really, kinda pale ale'ish with a hint of malts or some bread.
T - Taste is light ale malts mixed with maybe one kind of hops, basically a very light ipa with a better aftertaste then the initial taste. LIGHT IPA.
M - Feels a little fizzy and light for an ipa, but not too thin. Aftertaste is the best I think with more hop coming on stonger than in your mouth.
O - Very light IPA with some flavor, but needs more hops. This would be great for a beginner to IPA's and not for the hop head. Good aftertaste, better than mouth/tounge taste. Light but balanced, not bad for some people maybe... but not at the price.

This was drank for the sole-purpose of trout fishing. This beer is a golden body with a white foam on the surface. The aroma is of hops, but they smell old and weak. The taste is really weird it starts out upfront like a average malty pale ale, and finishes with hops on the end of the tongue. There is very bitter and very dry. It's confusing because it really doesn't start out that way. This beer was thin and bitter in the wrong kind of ways. I was really disappointed in this beer overall. It was okay, but it sure as hell was a terrible IPA.

Is next...swim wear...Is next....so so pale ale. I had this pale after having the Amber and Blond ale. Pale ales tend to be my favorites....and this one is just ok. I appreciate the attempt to give it some West coast character, but it falls short of being a good pale ale. The color is a cloudy golden with thin white head with some lacing. There is a pine citrus undertone to the aroma as well as the taste. I certainly could drink alot of this beer if necessary, but it would certainly not be my first choice.

Bottle poured into pint glass
Appearance: Nice soft head sitting on top of a clear gold glass of beer.
Smell: Almost no smell, a weak hop scent. Very boring.
Taste: Sharp wood flavor, almonds, carmel malts. Low levels of bitterness. This is more of a pale ale and less of an IPA.
Drinkability: Not bad. It's a cheap beer but not really worth get a lot of. I'd rather pay for a bit more flavor and a beer that is properly named. This beer should really be a pale ale and not an IPA

12oz bottle i picked up at my local jewel for $6.99/six pack. drank out of my sierra nevada hop tulip glass. i couldnt find any best by information on it anywhere.
A- the pour is a golden copper colored body with a small off-white head on top. the head is quick to fall and leaves behind little spots of lacing.
S- the first thing i notice are some caramel and toffee malts. after that comes some faint grapefruit and piny hops. im not sure if this smells old, or if its just weakly hoppy.
T- the taste starts out with a generous amount of sweet caramel malts. after that comes some hops. grapefruit and pine mostly. theres also a little bit of lemon and orange zest.
M- light to medium bodied but well carbonated. little to no trace of the alcohol.
D- for the price, this was a pretty good beer. it cant hold a candle to the members of my regular IPA rotation, but for the cost of an american adjunct lager i can see buying this one again.

This is my first craft brew in a long time. I just recently moved so it was the old style and high life for the past few weeks. I figured it's Halloween weekend I might as well get something a little tastier. I had a 12pk of Bud in my hand when I cought glimpes of this out of the corner of my eye. I have never seen this before. Figured wtf I might as well get something I can decipher instead of slam.
Appearance: Honey orange with a cap of offwhite head that falls into a slick. Some sticky spotty lacing.
Smell: Some pale and biscuit malt with a slight spicy sort of earthy grassy notes there as well.
Taste: Not a Hop Bomb by any means but not horrible. It tastes more like a pale ale than a true IPA but I am not going to split hairs. It has a very nice malt backbone to support the hop character that it does have. Caramel and biscuit with a spicy chinook note.
Mouthfeel: Sort of creamy and smooth, It kind of has a homebrew feel to it, I tried one of my friends pale ales and it was reminicent of this. Has a dry and slick feel to it.
Drinkability: This is where this beer shines. I would be able to drink this in pretty rapid if succession. As far as IPAs go I will pass but if someone hands me one I wouldn't turn it down,

Found some singles at the local discount store for $1.10 / 12oz bottle.
Beer has a deep, golden color and quite alot of foam. I'm met with a pretty mild, but nicely flavored drink. The aroma is that of a IPA, just a little bit subdued. I have no way of knowing how fresh this is, usually this store purchases items that are soon to expire or aren't selling too well. For $1.10, I just had a nice little beer.
I will rate it, "GOOD", as in, "good beer", only a pretentious, overly officious jerk [or for that matter an IPA hater] would call this bad beer.

12 oz twist off brown bottle. No apparent date. I found it at the local grocery store.
It pours a golden copper color with a foamy but frothy white head. It sticks for awhile before receding with some nice lacing.
I am struggling to get a smell out of this, perhaps a bit of honey and grassy hops. There is the slightest bit of tropical fruit. This smells like a watered down APA.
The taste is very buttery. The hops show up a bit more in the daste but I can't get over how much diacetyl and buttered corn/buttered biscuit flavor I'm getting form this. The hops are blunt, mainly just a slight bitterness. There is a strong mineral water flavor as well. This is mostly watery, buttery malt.
The mouthfeel is watery and the alcohol doesn't even seem to be completely hidden.
This is a butchery of an IPA, it is gross.

Pours an orange-amber with white head and no lacing. Light floral aroma with what seems like pale malts. Big upfront floral hop taste gives way quickly to a plain malty sweetness. Sharp carbonation makes the hop bitterness dissappear completely.
Almost as soon as I tasted that big hop beginning it disappeared, never to return except in minor hop notes swamped by sweetness. Honestly, I think I've had hoppier pale ales. The malt sweetness is very plain and the hops don't linger at all. However, it does have a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel so not a completely bad choice for a summer day just not if you're looking for an IPA.

Looking at Brandon Carmichael you would think he leads a normal life. But after hearing Carmichael share his personal story during a tobacco awareness assembly at Macon High School, you would know his life has been far from normal.
Carmichael of Fargo, North Dakota started smoking when he was 15 years old. He gave into peer pressure and within time became addicted. At 18 years old, halfway to graduation day, Carmichael cut his big toe on a piece of glass. After about a week, he realized it wasn't healing. But what he didn't realize was that this small cut would change his life forever.
Carmichael visited a countless number of doctors regarding this cut that wouldn't heal. Months later, it was finally discovered that Carmichael had Buerger's Disease—a rare vascular disease that affects the bodily blood flow that progresses and is heightened by the use of tobacco. He started receiving treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, was ordered to stay bed ridden and was home tutored. After 10 months of treatment, he was considered 90 percent healed and continued onto his "normal" life… His life that included smoking. After two short months, his toe, which had almost healed, turned severe. An angiogram showed blockage in his left knee approximately 6-8 inches long and a blockage in his right hip. He soon had his left leg amputated and thought he was done with cigarettes. Unfortunately, his struggle continued leading him to be a double amputee. His right leg was amputated in 2003 as well as some of his fingertips in 2006 and 2007. Today, after a 10-year struggle, Carmichael is smoke-free.
"I have zero health complications, although I still have Buerger's Disease, it is considered dormant because my body has rebounded completely since I cut out the tobacco use," said Carmichael. "I got married, I am currently in school and am booking more and more speaking engagements by the week."
Throughout Carmichael's presentation he mentioned that he was just a statistic—a statistic of how much tobacco costs the government, a statistic of how many lives have been affected by tobacco use—and how by giving these presentations he would hopefully help someone from becoming another statistic like himself.
"Out of these 700 kids, I don't have a doubt in my mind that I will change someone's life today," said Carmichael before the presentation. "When I am presenting I can tell who uses tobacco and who doesn't because those who do have their eyes on me and when I look at them they look away. And that is ok because I know I am reaching out to them that way."
Carmichael's presentation was sponsored by a Center for Disease Control Community Wellness grant through Macon County, Knox County and Clark County Health Departments.

Principal Jeff Haley. "That those things will stick in their mind and help them say no

How to Complain to Companies (and Get Results)
It's up to consumers to hold companies responsible for costly mistakes.
As all of us inevitably experience at some point, companies make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes are costly. From erroneous health-insurance claim rejections to double charges on credit cards, consumers who aren't paying attention can end up forking over more money than they should. One industry group estimates that billing errors involving health insurance alone exceed $100 billion a year. Consumers also report that they often find mistakes on credit cards, cellphone bills, and government benefit checks.
[In Pictures: 10 Ways to Start Earning Extra Money Now]
That's why consumer vigilance is so important. Many people never see their cash again because they don't notice the problem, they don't have time to call, or, worst of all, they don't feel they have the right to complain.
In fact, Bob Sullivan, author of Gotcha Capitalism: How Hidden Fees Rip You Off Every Day—and What You Can Do About It, estimates that most people don't call companies about errors, often because they blame themselves for the problem. He sees this most commonly in older generations. In addition, people with limited English skills or hearing difficulties are less likely to contact companies, which puts them at a financial disadvantage. "I worry about those folks," he says.
Women are also more likely to overpay because they tend to be less comfortable with the idea of lodging complaints, says Linda Babcock, co-author of Ask for It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want, out this month. She says negotiating for a fair price or complaining about a charge doesn't have to mean conflict, which is what scares some people off. Instead, think: "We have an issue ... and we can work to fix the problem together," she says. If a company has made an error, it will also want to find a solution and ensure the customer is satisfied, she adds.
According to a survey Sullivan conducted for his book, those of us who make our voices heard have a decent chance of getting the desired results: Complaints to credit card companies and airlines had a success rate of over 60 percent. (If you're calling to complain to your cable provider, however, you may want to first hone your debating skills: Only 20 percent of consumers got the response they were looking for.)
Here are seven expert tips on how best to lodge complaints and get your money back:
Just do it. The most important lesson is to actually take the time to a lodge a complaint in the first place. Many customers don't, and that's why they end up being overcharged or unsatisfied.
Don't exaggerate the problem. Greg Brummer at Planet Feedback says companies don't respond well to threats or embellished stories about the harm they have caused. One consumer, for example, said his son's Christmas was ruined after a company canceled his order.
Always contact the company first. Brummer says consumers have a good chance of resolving their problems with just a quick call to the company. So before involving others, such as his website, make the call.
Check your bills. Many people don't notice that they are being charged for a monthly service until they've been paying it for months, and companies often resist refunding months' worth of services, Brummer says. He recommends taking responsibility for the accuracy of your billing statements.
Review receipts before you leave the store. Max Spankie at My3Cents adds that mistakes caught at the point of sale are much easier to resolve on the spot than after you leave the store. One consumer contacted him after a typo by a sales associate at Home Depot led him to pay for 1,058 pieces of molding instead of 1.58. He signed for the transaction before noticing the mistake.
[Mastering the New Freelance Economy]
Count your money—it's not rude. Spankie says there's no need to be self-conscious about making sure you were given the correct amount of change, whether it's at a bank or a store. It's better to check than to go home and realize there was an error.

The face of the workforce is changing: technology advancements are moving faster than ever, allowing today's workforce to be more mobile than ever. Whether your goal is to cut commutes, reduce overhead costs, or simply use office space as you need it, many people are working outside the office, away from their homes and in interesting, hipper locations.
Shared workspace, a phenomenon that has infiltrated cities like Chicago, presents additional opportunities that can be hugely beneficial to your company, including the concept of co-working. Co-working takes networking to a new level. It's an advanced way of collaboration among companies, employees and business owners who may have never-crossed paths in a traditional work setting. Co-working can lead to significant advantages for your business, as long as you know how to capitalize on it. Below are five tips for successful co-working to ensure maximum benefit and productivity:
1. Determine the type of space you need: Whether it's an open table, cubicle or private office, make sure you choose the location and workspace that best suits your needs. Flexible workspace providers like Regus offer several options for all business types.
2. Collaborate and network: Surround yourself with like-minded professionals. Take advantage of being around other entrepreneurs and small business owners. Bounce ideas off of others, expose yourself to new strategies. Professionals with different skill sets and backgrounds can often lead to new business opportunities among start-ups.
3. Be considerate: Keep your work area neat and use headphones. Your neighbors may want to hear your ideas, but they don't want to hear your music and videos. Nobody wants to be congested with personal belongings piling onto their space.
4. Take advantage of services: Many co-working centers offer administrative services. Let someone else take care of your bookkeeping so you can focus on the task at hand. Use teleconferencing services for meetings instead of travelling, and take advantage of meeting rooms for client or colleague meetings.
5. Co-working network: Consider a facility with multiple locations. This allows your company to grow and for you to continue to network.
Whether working out of traditional or shared workspace, following these steps can help your business prosper while maximizing productivity. For more information on co-working opportunities, or to find a Regus Business Center near you, visit www.regus.com.

Jake T. Austin woke up to some great news today – "Wizards of Waverly Place" has been nominated for an Emmy!
The hit Disney Channel show took home the Emmy for Outstanding Children's Program in 2009 and has now been nominated for 4 consecutive years. We had the chance to chat with Jake about the big news.
What was it like finding out Wizards was nominated for an Emmy for a fourth year? It was great to find out the cast and crew was nominated, especially with the show being in its last season. The past 4 years have been amazing, so I hope this year is too!
What is your favorite part about going to the Emmys? My favorite part about the Emmys is being able to reconnect with the cast and getting to meet performers from other shows that I watch.
Any message out there for the Wizards fans? Thank you so much to the fans and supporters of Clevver TV for everything that has gotten us to where we are today!
The 2012 Primetime Emmys air September 23 at 7pm EST.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 163 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jcon4 Great buy Very comfortable, easy to move in. Great for active wear and everyday wear. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Justin Hands down the best After a long search for the best undies to stop the thigh rubbing that can start a fire and the support of "everything" these do it best with a hybrid like feel between boxers and briefs. July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Capt. Art This product has a better fit than other similar brands/styles. I have been looking for a better 'type' underwear for walking/hiking/sailing that does not leave me damp/wet/rash in the groin area. I have seen others with the Poly/spandex styles and have asked around for recommendations. The "Under Armour" brand was recommended by most. So far I have tried the 6' and shorter leg and have been quite satisfied with fit and comfort. Great for sailing as in and out of the water without having to constantly change is great. Thanks.. July 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Harry $20 for athletic underwear is crazy The price is the only issue I have with these. They fit great and give the boys room to move and breathe. Perfect for running, crosstraining or hanging out with the Ms. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by brianb110 THE Only underwear you will ever need!!! UnderArmour anything is always awesome. This is the ONLY UnderWear i ever wear now. The most comfortable breathable form fitting underwear you can buy. Worth every penny July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Chad They Work I'm a welder and they keep me cool and dry all day. July 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mom of Scouts Pricey, but they wear like iron Bought these for my 2 Boy Scouts 2 years ago when they were going to Northern Tier high adventure camp. A week of canoeing, portaging, no showers- no one came home with chafing. Very soft and they last forever. The boys liked them so much they continued to wear them once they got home. At $20 bucks a pair, they weren't cheap. I bet we're down to pennies per wear by now given how frequently they wear them. They are still going strong. July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jason621 UnderArmour wins again After a friend recommended Boxerjocks, I bought 2 pairs to try. They are everything he raved about and more. The styling, fit, user-friendly fly, and material - all are first-rate. They are somewhat more expensive than other brands, but undoubtedly worth it. July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Rob Quality product Comfort ability and support are great. Color options could be better July 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Verneuker Great Product Comfortable, supporting, and not ridiculous looking like the "Old School" ones. I was in and out of the store in 5 minutes. July 2, 2014

Dexter Episode 801
"A Beautiful Day"
Written By: Scott Buck
Directed By: Keith Gordon
Original Airdate: 30 June 2013
In This Episode...
Six months have passed since last season. Things have gotten back to normal for Dexter. He is a soccer dad, he enjoys his work, and he still has time for his evening hobbies. Things with Deb, however, are not as peachy; she cannot just kill a person in cold blood and go on with life. Since killing Laguerta, Deb has left the police force and is now working for Elway Private Security. Dexter hasn't seen his sister in two months and hasn't talked to her in a month. He is worried about her. Their coworkers haven't heard from her in a while (except for Quinn) so Dexter starts looking for her. She hasn't been home in weeks, her voicemail is full, and her boss hasn't heard from her in two weeks. He breaks into her bank account and checks where her ATM card has been used - Fort Lauderdale.
Deb is working a case chasing a bail jumper named Andrew Briggs, a guy who robbed a jewelry store and made off with over a half a million in goods. Deb has been "posing" as Briggs' girlfriend: sleeping with him, shacking up in a sleazy motel with him, snorting lines of coke with him. She is not entirely off the rails, but she certainly is taking liberties with going undercover. Dexter finds her at a grocery store, and she is not happy to see him. "You made me compromise everything I believed in," she growls. "I hate you. I shot the wrong person in that trailer." Briggs interrupts and leads Deb away.
Deb calls Quinn and asks him to check up on a fence who goes by the name El Sapo, who plans on buying the goods from Briggs. Quinn couldn't find anything on him, which he asks Dexter to tell Deb. Dexter runs his own search on El Sapo and discovers that he is not a fence; he is a hitman. Dexter is so scared by the thought that Deb could step into the crossfire that when Harrison accidentally breaks an ugly vase (it belonged to Laguerta and Batista forced it upon Dexter) he loses his shit on the scared kid. He grabs Harrison and goes looking for Quinn, the only one who has had any contact with Deb. Last he heard, Deb was staying at someplace called the Pink Motel. Dexter can't find Jamie (because she is busy fucking Quinn and both are desperately trying to ignore their phones so they can get off) so Harrison goes with Daddy.
Dexter leaves Harrison asleep in the car while he peeks into rooms until he finds Deb. A gentle knock brings Deb outside, and she is again furious to see him. He defends himself by saying that El Sapo is a hitman, and Dexter is worried she will be killed, too. He is adamant that she come with him, now. Deb doesn't care. Briggs comes out and Dexter grabs his sister. Briggs attacks Dexter, and the men take their fight back into the motel. Dexter grabs a knife and stabs Briggs dead. Deb falls apart, and Dexter again tries to play the hero, insisting that Deb is lost. "I am not lost! I am in shitty fucking hell, which is what I deserve! You are lost. All my life, I thought I couldn't survive without you. But it was the other way around." She won't let him get rid of the body; she instead calls it in and tells Dexter to scram. She finds a key in Briggs' pocket and thinks this might be where he has hidden the goods. When the cops get there, Deb says she was working a case, went out for a sandwich, came back, and found him dead. The cops seem to accept this version of events.
Meanwhile, there is a new face around Miami Metro: Dr. Evelyn Vogel, a neuropsychiatrist who worked with Matthews many years ago on a case. She is back in Miami, and during lunch he told her about their most recent case: a man who was shot point-blank, but had the back of his skull cut open and a section of his brain scooped out with a melon baller. Vogel is one of the leading authorities on serial killers and psychopaths, which instantly makes Dexter suspicious. He becomes downright nervous when Vogel calls him to the morgue to specifically ask him for his take on this murder. Dexter is non-committal, reading back what the evidence revealed (which was nothing). She also asks him about Sgt. Doakes, because he doesn't fit the profile of a psychopath.
After leaving Deb to deal with Briggs' body, Dexter has a mini-meltdown. Deb's words really struck him - he is lost without her. He goes to the park and sits on Laguerta's bench, trying to figure out his next move. Vogel approaches him, and he blows her off - Dexter just does not have the patience to deal with her right now. She leaves him with a manila envelope. Inside are children's drawings, depicting murder and alienation. They are all signed "Dexter." He chases down Vogel. "What is it you want?" Vogel is confident that Dexter won't kill her: "I don't fit Harry's code."
Dig It or Bury It?
Dexter is off to a depressing start. No, not depressing. Dark. It is far darker than it has ever been. Uncomfortably so. The rift between Debra and Dexter is severe, and for the first time, I feel like I might not be on Dexter's side. Well, okay, I am always on Dexter's side, but in this instance there is nothing that Dexter can do to "fix" her. I don't think there is anything that anyone can do to help Deb. Frankly, I don't think Deb is anywhere near rock-bottom yet.
I think I found this way more upsetting than I should.
But I am ver excited for Vogel. I think she is going to add a great new dimension to the show. Clearly she knew Harry, so she had to know Dexter as a kid....
Dexter hacks Deb's bank account to see where she has been spending her money. But first, needs the password. He tries "Password." No dice. But this Deb - so next he tries "FuckingPassword." Bingo.
Flashback to the Future
Harry is worried because Dexter seems to be losing his grip on sanity. After being rejected by Deb, a car cuts him off on the road. Dexter cuts him off, forcing him onto the shoulder, and Dexter grabs the other driver by the neck and threatens him - until he sees a frightened child, about Harrison's age, in the back seat. Harry tells Dexter to "go home." It's like he is being grounded.
Vogel assures Dexter that he is exactly what he needs to be, so the two characters become very close in a very short amount of time. Vogel begins to think that these new kills, with the missing brains, are a message from her former patients.

The record will show that chef Glen Manfra of Gloucester's Willow Rest was voted the winner over Mercedes Laboa of Pride's Osteria in Beverly Farms in Thursday's annual Seafood Throwdown event at the Cape Ann Farmers' Market.
But the real winners at the Stage Fort Park event were all of those who got the chance to sample the dishes after the judging — and the Gloucester-based North Atlantic Marine Alliance, which sponsored the event.
That's because, at a time when Gloucester's groundfishing fleet is grappling with tight quota limits on cod, yellowtail flounder and other traditional staples of the seafood industry, all got to see and taste some alternative fruits of the sea at an event that is geared toward showcasing alternative seafood dishes.
The fish for Thursday's showdown — held as a secret until the competition began — were pollock and redfish, otherwise known as ocean perch and one of the species promoted by NOAA and others for fishermen to target in the midst of the cod crisis.
The throwdowns, an annual feature of the Cape Ann Farmers Market, call for the competing chefs to work with the assigned seafood, then to supplement the fish dish with vegetables and other items purchased at that day's Farmers Market.
The Farmers Market will return to Stage Fort — sans "throwdown" — next Thursday and every succeeding Thursday into mid-October.

Quote:HelloI am am member of many Yahoo groups, but cannot seem to join the ASA group... can you please give me info on a URL or an email address / etc to join?Thank you
Quote:What 10Micron did was put more or less the same model building functionality as ASA directly in the mount firmware. Even though the model presently only can hold 25 sync points, the accuracy is close to rediculously good. Once the model is created, you do not need a PC to enjoy it! I like that.As for gears... Direct drive is cool, that I have to admit. 10Micron got rid of half of the gears by using belt drive so it is pretty good anyway not to mention the build quality!All the best,Per

Entertainment behind the scenes
In Venice, director utters "f-word" … But it's not what one might think
Todd Solondz has uttered the "f-word" in Venice. No, not that one … "Fascist". Asked at a press conference for his new movie "Life During Wartime" whether he could give an opinion about the current political situation in Italy, he replied:
"I'm smart enough to know that I know so little and I would be very foolish, given whatever I know, to have an opinion in front of you guys. I just hope things work out nicely here. It's lovely in this wonderful fascist building to take pleasure in this conversation."
The building he was referring to was the Casino, a Fascist-era structure dating back to near the beginning of the world's oldest film festival in 1932. Let's not forget that two years later the Mussolini Cup was introduced at the festival for best foreign and best Italian films. Of course, all that has changed now. Although, at least for Solondz, the past is not forgotten.

Diabetes Data/Statistics
More than 25.8 million people, or 8.3 percent, have diabetes in the United States, and pre-diabetes is far more common than previously believed. About 35 percent of U.S. adults aged 20 years or older, or 79 million people, currently have pre-diabetes. Racial and ethnic minority groups, especially the elderly among these populations, are disproportionately affected by diabetes.
On average, African Americans are twice as likely to have diabetes as Whites. The highest incidence of diabetes in African Americans occurs between 65-75 years of age. African American women are especially affected. When adjusted for age, African American women are more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes than non-Hispanic whites, African American men, or Hispanics. African Americans with diabetes are more likely to experience complications of diabetes. End-stage renal disease and amputations of lower extremities (legs and feet) are also more common in African Americans with diabetes. In 2009, the CDC estimated that 12.6% of non-Hispanic blacks were diagnosed with diabetes.
As of 2010, 3.2 million Hispanic adults, 18 years and older, 13.2 percent of that population, have diabetes. Diabetes is more prevalent in older Hispanics with the highest rates in Hispanics 65 and older. On average, Hispanics are 1.7 times as likely to have diabetes as Whites. Mexican Americans, the largest Hispanic subgroup, are almost twice as likely to have diagnosed diabetes than U.S. non-Hispanic whites. And, in 2008 the death rate from diabetes in Hispanics was 50 percent higher than the death rate of non-Hispanic Whites.
On average, American Indians and Alaska Natives are twice as likely as non-Hispanic Whites of similar age to have diabetes. As of 2011, 14.2 percent of the American Indian and Alaska Natives aged 20 years or older and receiving care by the Indian Health Service had been diagnosed with diabetes. At the regional level, diabetes is least common among Alaska Natives (5.5%) and most common among American Indians in southern Arizona (33.5%).
Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death in the Asian American and Pacific Islander population. Prevalence data for diabetes among this group are limited, but some subpopulations are at increased risk for diabetes. Native Hawaiians, Japanese, and Filipino adults, 20 years of older living in Hawaii were about two times more likely to have been diagnosed with diabetes compared to White residents. An estimated 9.1% of Asian Americans have diabetes.

Charter Communications is hosting a job fair Tuesday, Jan. 8. The company plans to hire approximately 100 employees. Most will work in the call center located in Town and Country Commons, near the intersection of Highway 141 and Clayton Road.
The job fair is 11 a.m to 2 p.m. and from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, 191 Westport Plaza in Maryland Heights.
As previously reported by Patch, this news comes after Charter's October announcement that the company was relocating its corporate headquarters from Town and Country to Connecticut. At the time of the announcement, Charter also said it would be hiring more call center and local employees.
According to Charter spokesperson Jessica Hardecke, the corporate move is now complete. She said the nearly 100 new positions are for service advisors and sales specialists who will handle customer calls from across the country.
"Charter is seeking candidates with experience delivering world class customer service, computer and/or technical skills and sales aptitude," a company news release stated.
Hardecke said interested candidates must bring current resumes with them Tuesday. Hiring managers will be on site at the job fair and interviews may be conducted that day.
Candidates also are encouraged to dress professionally, Hardecke added.
"We'll review all the resumes and such and make offers to the select candidates shortly after," Hardecke tells Patch.
She said training classes will begin in January and run through the first half of the year.
"So we'll be bringing people on as quickly as possible,"Hardecke said.
About 700 people currently work at the Town and Country Commons call center, Hardecke added.

The best voice recorder, weather, calculator, and stocks app alternatives for the iPad mini and iPad 4
When Steve Jobs introduced the very first iPad, one of his big statements was that the 75 million iPhone users in the world already knew how to use it. Well, many of those users were suprised to discover that five of the built-in apps that they had grown to love on their iPhone were missing on their iPad. Namely, Clock, Voice Memos, Weather, Calculator and Stocks. Rumor has it Apple didn't think those apps would scale to look good on the bigger iPad screen. Since then, Apple has added a clock app with iOS 6, but the other four are still missing. Fortunately, many great developers have filled that void and proven that, not only can these apps look good on the iPad. They can look great.
In fact, there are so many great apps in these categories that it can be overwhelming. That's where we come in. We took all the top voice memos, weather, calculator, and stock apps, scrutinized them, and tested them some more and named a single app in each category as the best of its kind. So without further adieu, here they are!
Best voice recording app -- Audio Memos
If you're looking for a Voice Recorder for your iPad that offer great quality and professional features, look no further than Audio Memos. It in three different versions: a free one that does only the basics, a $0.99 version that does a little bit more with optional extensions available as in-app purchases, and a Pro version that includes all the extensions available in the $0.99 version. So whether you're looking for something basic, middle of the road, or full-featured, Audio Memos has got you covered.

Best calculator app - Calcbot
Calcbot is a great scientific calculator for the iPhone and iPad. It features nice, large keys and a SwipePad that switches between the basic operations (including numbers) and scientific functions. It also keep track of all your calculations on a tape where you can copy and paste into a new calculation. Another nice feature is that it keeps a live history of what you type, so that you never get lost with where you are in your calculation.

Best stock app - Bloomberg for iPad
Whether you need to casually monitor stocks on your iPad or just find the urge to check out financial news, Bloomberg provides the best of both worlds combined with an easy to use interface. I've found that some of the applications in the App Store are quite hard to navigate and may be confusing for many users to figure out. Sometimes too many charts and graphs can be overwhelming. Bloomberg gives you what you want to know right up front.
If you're more interested in world and financial news than you are stocks, Bloomberg doubles up as a great resource for such information. It ties news and the stock market together in a fluid way that users will appreciate.

Best weather app - Weather 2x
Weather 2x is a gorgeous way to check the weather. It features a beautiful background that represents the current weather conditions. It also moves pans slightly so that there's a little bit of movement. The information is presented in a very clean, clutter-free way and intuitive gestures will reveal more information and and other sections of the app.
Regarding the including information, Weather 2x will give you 5 day forecasts that are broken down into 3-hour intervals as well as show you sunrise/sunset times, visibility, windspeed, precipitation, and more. You can also store as many locations as you wish so that you can quickly see what the weather is like in other parts of the world.
Weather 2x may not be as fully-featured as some other weather apps, but it provides the information that most people want -- and does it beautifully.

There are 10 comments. Add yours.
LOL! Thats kind of funny when you think about it. Apple puts down Android tablets for using "stretched out" phone apps, but their solution is to just omit them.
Lol there are hundreds of thousands of apps you can choose from that function. You're doing the foot in mouth thing.. And don't even notice.. Re read what you just said and also read what the article is recommending. The solution is to support them and not have them stretch like Android. Wow, petty and and at same time.... embarrassing...
Apple doesn't have to provide every solution, that's what the app market is for and the Author is pointing them to you.
I know full well what the author is saying. Perhaps you need to re-read what I wrote. I didn't say "OMG there are no stock/voice recording/weather apps available for the iPad"! I was simply pointing out that it was interesting they left them out (that would be the "omitting" part, in case you are having trouble following along). There is nothing embarrassing about what I said. It wasn't untrue or mean spirited, either.
can't believe they took out basic functional apps
What, the "best" calculator app has no RPN? For shame! ;)
indeed. PCalc is far better with RPN of course
Calcbot is not updated for iphone 5. So if you are planning to buy it for it being universal, dont do it. I have sent like 3 emails about it, and no one have anwered. Even on twitter.
A few thoughts...
+1 for Bloomberg.
I don't use a calculator app on the iPad, but I love PCalc on the iPhone, and hear good things about Soulver.
Hands down, the best weather app for iPad is Seasonality Go. I've tried many, and no others come close.
as long that the title includes the terms "ipad 4" and "ipad mini" and they repeat those phrases as much as possible... that's all that matters.
I'm not impressed with the Bloomberg app. #1 it has invasive ads. #2, some of the font choices are terrible, specifically in the My Stocks screens. For news about my stocks I like StockSpy HD.

"Today, we are sending demand letters to school districts in Florida, Maine, Virginia, West Virginia, Mississippi, and Alabama insisting that they take steps to end single-sex programs that rely on and promote archaic and harmful sex stereotypes, and we're launching a new campaign called Teach Kids, Not Stereotypes to drive the point home."
Why is sex-segregated schooling so limiting?
"Social scientists have found that separating students by sex simply makes the contrast between the sexes more salient. And, when you look at what the proponents of single-sex classrooms are preaching, it's easy to see the world segregated classrooms can create. Take Dr. Leonard Sax, who suggests that a boy who likes to read, does not enjoy contact sports, and does not have a lot of close male friends has a problem, even if he thinks he is happy, and that such a boy should be firmly disciplined, required to spend time with "normal males," and made to play sports. Yikes!"

In schools with hammers, guess what kids become
Carol Rose, executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, originally wrote this blog for Boston.com.
To a person wielding a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. So it's no surprise that when you put a bunch of armed cops into public schools, they start arresting kids for behaviors such as swearing, banging lockers, and throwing tantrums--behavior that is nothing new but that, once upon a time, parents and school officials used to handle.
Study finds three Massachusetts cities overuse arrests at schools
Ground-breaking report on Springfield, Worcester, and Boston schools by ACLU and Citizens for Juvenile Justice uncovers significant racial disparities as well as arrests for disruptions once handled by schools and parents.
"All the cool girls are lesbians"
The following entry, written by ACLUm Online Communications Coordinator Danielle Riendeau, was also cross-posted at Boston.com's On Liberty blog.
True or false? If you are a public high school student in Massachusetts, you have a right to display that phrase on your t-shirt--or many messages that others might find "political," "offensive," "controversial," or "disruptive."
The answer: true. Even though school administrators at Lynn English High School told a student she could not wear the shirt there, they were wrong. Both Massachusetts law and the First Amendment protect a student's right of free expression unless the student "substantially and materially" disrupts the school. (The Supreme Court has carved out some exceptions under the First Amendment, but they don't apply to this situation.)
