Dan Mullen, Will Muschamp among top coaches in first half; more mail
Story Highlights
Urban Meyer, Charlie Strong, Dan Mullen -- once UF coaches -- are still unbeaten
Texas' Mack Brown has disappointed of late, but there are no obvious alternatives
Plus: Johnny Manziel's Heisman hopes, Steve Spurrier's legacy, ACC's woes, more
|The Mandel Initiative Podcast
|SI.com's Andy Staples, Holly Anderson and Ben Glicksman join Stewart and Mallory to recap the season's first half and preview the second half. 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' star and former Mailbag crush Kaitlin Olson joins the show.
After seeing the page views from last week's Mailbag, I will now be leading every week's edition with something Ohio State- or Urban Meyer-related. ... Not true, but this happened to be a particularly interesting question.
Hi Stewart, Urban Meyer (at Ohio State), his successor at Florida (Will Muschamp) and his two former coordinators (Louisville's Charlie Strong and Mississippi State's Dan Mullen) all currently have undefeated teams. In your opinion, which of the four men has done the best coaching job thus far with the talent and resources -- or lack thereof -- that he inherited?
-- Jason P, Woodbridge, Va.
First of all ... wow. Between Meyer, Strong, Mullen and the fact that 21 starters or major contributors from Florida's 2008 team currently play in the NFL, it's easy to see how the Gators won the national title that year -- while also completely inexplicable how they lost to Houston Nutt. And former Texas defensive coordinator Muschamp's success so far in Gainesville may help explain why Mack Brown finds himself in his current predicament.
As for comparing the four, Meyer is doing exactly what's expected of Ohio State's coach. We didn't necessarily think the Buckeyes would start 7-0, but you know with the right coach they're never going to be down for too long. I'd say much the same thing about Florida, though Muschamp and his staff have unquestionably had a profound impact on that team. In fewer than two years, they've completely reinvented the program and found a way to start 6-0 despite some obvious offensive limitations. If they keep this up, he's a legitimate Coach of the Year candidate. Strong has also done a tremendous job rebuilding Louisville's program from the depths of the Steve Kragthorpe era, and he has the Cardinals squarely in the hunt for a BCS berth. But that's also not unprecedented; Bobby Petrino did the same thing just six years ago.
My answer is Mullen. While acknowledging that Mississippi State hasn't played the strongest competition to this point (its best win was last week's victory over 3-3 Tennessee) and could well get exposed once it faces Alabama and LSU, the fact that the Bulldogs are 6-0 and no one's surprised is a testament to how dramatically Mullen has changed the culture in Starkville. Two years ago, in Mullen's second season, the Bulldogs won nine games for the first time in 11 years and just the fourth time since World War II. This year, his team seems headed for at least that many victories, particularly with remaining games against Middle Tennessee, Arkansas and Ole Miss.
Mind you, he's doing this at a time when the SEC has rarely been stronger. I loved those late '90s Jackie Sherrill teams, and you may recall the Bulldogs played in the 1998 SEC title game. But things were different then: Alabama was in between probations, LSU was a mess, Auburn had forced out Terry Bowden, etc. This Mississippi State team is not brimming with talent -- it's got a skilled quarterback (Tyler Russell) and a heck of a secondary (Johnthan Banks, Darius Slay) -- but top-to-bottom it's probably the league's eighth- or ninth-most talented team. Yet it could wind up having one of the best seasons in school history. Nice work, Mr. Mullen.
As a Texas fan, I'm almost ready to jump on the "Fire Mack Brown" bandwagon. What keeps me from jumping is uncertainty as to who would take his place. Several professional and college coaches are better than Mack Brown, but none of them will leave their current job for Texas. Plenty of coaches would leave their current team for Texas, but I'm not sold yet on any of them being better than Mack Brown. Am I overlooking somebody?
-- Aaron Evans, Muskegon, Mich.
That's the rub, isn't it? It's easy to sit there and look at Brown's 5-9 record against Oklahoma, his 7-13 Big 12 record since 2010 and his nine straight losses to ranked teams and say, "We can do better than this." It may well be time for a change (though I'd like to see the rest of the season play out before making that conclusion), but even with all of Texas' considerable resource and clout, there's no guarantee the next coach will become the next Nick Saban or Bob Stoops. He could well be Texas' next John Mackovic. Lest we forget, 10-win seasons and top-five recruiting classes have not always been a Longhorn birthright. In fact, the program had only five double-digit win seasons in the 22 years between Darrell Royal's retirement and Brown's arrival.
Texas AD DeLoss Dodds knows this, which is why it would take an all-out implosion for him to fire Brown this year. He also knows that this year's likely market of candidates lacks a can't-miss big-namer like Meyer last year or a hot commodity like Brian Kelly in 2009 or Kevin Sumlin last year. It's interesting, because whether Texas jumps aboard the carousel or not, a whole bunch of other notable schools (Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee, possibly Cal) will likely be seeking just that type of coach. Someone's going to hire Bobby Petrino, but not an image conscious school like Texas. Someone's going to make a run at Chris Petersen, but to this point that's proved futile. Multiple people will make a run at Charlie Strong, but don't be surprised if he stays loyal to Louisville. However, I could see a major program like Texas or Tennessee hiring Iowa State's Paul Rhoads and being very happy with that decision a couple years down the road.
So what do you think are the odds that Tennessee will hire Sonny Dykes next season to clean up Derek Dooley's mess the same way that Dykes has cleaned up the mess that Dooley left at Louisiana Tech?
-- Keary Floyd, Lawrenceville, Ga.
So who wins the Sonny Dykes derby: Cal or Arkansas?
-- K. Preston, Castle Rock, Wash.
I stand corrected. There's at least one hot mid-major candidate out there.
Stewart, I know the ACC is a joke, but WOW! Clemson and Florida State both have BCS computer averages of 0.000. That is comedy. Is this downturn a natural ebb and flow of college football or is the ACC in trouble for the long run? Adding Syracuse and Pitt seems to shift the recruiting away from the South. In South Carolina, we see most top-notch (especially defensive) recruits going to the Gamecocks over Clemson. This whole thing just looks like the ACC is falling apart to me. Any thoughts?
-- John, Liberty, S.C.
Full confession: When I first started seeing e-mails like this, I assumed there was some sort of glitch on SI.com's BCS standings page. Then I went back and opened the official release and, welp, sure enough, .000. That's a product of both teams finishing outside of the Top 25 in average computer rating (they tied for 28th), in which case they're credited with zero points out of a possible 100. (Alabama, by comparison, which was credited with four No. 2 rankings after removing its outliers, earned 96 out of 100, or .960). Florida State and Clemson suffered not only from their mediocre ACC competitors but also from their nonconference schedules. The 'Noles have played two FCS foes (because West Virginia dropped out) and 2-4 South Florida, while the Tigers have played 1-5 Auburn, 4-3 Ball State and FCS Furman.
This does seem like a particularly bad year for the ACC with Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech down, Miami rebuilding, North Carolina on probation and former contender Boston College just truly dreadful. But to suggest the league is having a downturn would suggest it was ever "up" to begin with. The ACC is in much the same place it's been for most of the BCS era, fighting with the Big East to avoid the No. 6 label (in Jeff Sagarin's ratings it's actually seventh, behind the Big East and independents) and perpetually waiting for the return to prominence of FSU and Miami. (By the way -- did you know those two play this week?) Of course, it's hard to compete with the SEC for recruits, but Florida State, Miami and Clemson all had top-15 classes last year. Attracting talent hasn't generally been the problem for the ACC as much as coaching and university commitment have. Perhaps that will change with all that new ESPN money coming in.
Good for you, Stewart. You are actually saying some good things about Notre Dame. I used to think you held a grudge against the Irish. No longer.
-- Joe Reardon, Columbus, N.J.
It's interesting that my apparent grudge disappeared at the exact same time the Irish started winning every week.
How can Notre Dame fans not notice the credit you give to Notre Dame??
-- Collin Mapp, Valencia, Calif.
Well, at least one did. Progress.

Butterflies are pretty cool and I remember learning about them at school when we were talking about life cycles of animals.
Butterflies mate and lay eggs, usually on a leaf somewhere. A caterpillar hatches from the egg and crawls around for a while eating and getting fat! After a while the caterpillar finds a good spot to hide and builds a cocoon. Because every type of butterfly is a little bit different…their caterpillars and cocoons look different too! After a long time, some take months, the cocoon breaks apart and the grown up moth or butterfly comes out. Their wings are flat and wet from being in the cocoon so long, so at first they look funny and wrinkled. But after a while, the blood starts pumping around the wings and they dry out and open and start to look like the beautiful creatures we are used to seeing in our gardens! Pretty amazing hey? Sometimes, I think about how it would be to have to go into a cocoon before I could grow up. How weird would that be?!

What's New
The Financial Realities of Relocating
With the housing market and overall economy starting to improve, more Americans are packing up and relocating.

Elvis rocks Freedom Elementary
Date: June 4, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
MANATEE COUNTY — Elvis stole the show at Freedom Elementary School last week.
The 2-year-old alligator adopted by Karen Ciemniecki's fourth-grade class made his first appearance at the school May 27. His caretaker, Justin Matthews of Matthews Wildlife Rescue, brought the gator and several other rescued animals to the school for a special wildlife presentation and to accept a donation for Elvis' adoption.
"I was surprised he was squishy and scaly," 10-year-old Jayde Boykins said after petting Elvis. "I thought he would be a little bigger, but he was awesome."
Over the last few weeks, children in Ciemniecki's class raised more than the $35 adoption fee for Elvis by collecting pocket change. The project was the culmination of a months-long study of Florida's ecosystems and the book "Oonawassee Summer" by Melissa Forney.
"We decided to look at the native animals Mr. Matthews had (up for adoption through his program at Mixon Fruit Farms)," Ciemniecki said. "Elvis was our first choice."
The 26-inch-long alligator was rescued from a gator farm, where another gator had attacked him.
During last week's wildlife presentation, Matthews also introduced children to Freedom's mascot, a Harris hawk named Freedom, as well as a tortoise and a Burmese python under his care and answered questions about each animal.
Matthews rehabilitates animals from his East County home and also runs the Wildlife Care and Education Center at Mixon Fruit Farms.
Ciemniecki said last week's presentation was a perfect way to end the year and the fourth grade's study on the environment.
"It's good to see (students) so excited about going through with it and helping someone who really helps the
community," she said.
For information about Matthews Wildlife Rescue or adopting an animal at the Wildlife Education Center, call Matthews at 812-1771 or visit www.mixon.com/wildliferefuge.asp.

Jessica Cox signs
an autograph for 9-year-old Shaylee Boger, of Dickens, Texas, on
Jessica Cox said her father never once
shed a tear after she was born without arms.
"He never saw me as a victim," she said, "and that has given me
the strength to be the person I am."
Cox, a motivational speaker from Tucson,
Arizona, is the first pilot certificated by the FAA to fly with her feet
only, with no use of prosthetic devices or airplane modifications. She
spoke Tuesday at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2010.
Passing her sport pilot checkride flying
an Ercoupe on October 10, 2008, Cox now has about 130 hours in her
logbook. She said she looked at the first challenge of learning to fly a
plane—buckling the four-point harness—just as she looked at the
challenge of tying her shoelaces as a child.
After thinking about it for a while, she
sat on top of the seat, put the four buckles together, loosened the
straps and then slipped in. Next, using her foot, she put the shoulder
strap over the right shoulder, and then the left. Finally, she pulled
the lap belt in place.
"The most important thing I learned
then is that I always have to think outside the shoe," Cox quipped.
With similar thinking and ingenuity, she figured out how to put on her
headset, to handle a yoke, to perform a stall, and to land.
Cox said she grew up using her right foot
as her right hand. She learned to play and to eat using her feet. Even
to pull her sister's hair when she was mad at her.
At her first dance recital at age 6, Cox
said she wanted to hide her disability and be in the back row. But there
was no back row.
"I learned then that I had nothing to
hide and that there wasn't anything wrong with being different," she
said. "It's something I'm proud of."
For 12 years, Cox wore prosthetic arms,
which helped to carry a backpack. But that was the only good thing about
the artificial limbs, she said.
"They were hooks, they were plaster,
they were heavy, they were cumbersome, and I did better with my feet
than I did with the prosthetics," she said.
Since flying into AirVenture 2009 in a
group of Ercoupes, Cox has gone on to reach other heights. She is now
scuba certified and rode her first horse. She has flown in the
Philippines and Guatemala, and on Monday she met with President Obama at
the White House. She has met countless celebrities and has actually
become one herself. Her story of inspiration is known throughout the
United States and in many foreign countries.
"But the most rewarding thing is that I
can inspire others who are like myself," Cox said. "I'm mentoring
other people who were born without arms. It means a lot to be able to
share the ropes I went through, and to make things a little easier for
Cox hopes to become a sport pilot
instructor and someday to take a flight into space. But her immediate
goal—landing some seats for a Cubs game with her sister—should be a
lot easier to achieve.

Many woods are unique, but teak is the best! The legendary properties of teak make it one of the great woods of the world. Once used primarily in boating, teak has also become a staple of residential and commercial applications.
Teak has been cultivated in tropical regions for hundreds of years, since the establishment of teak plantations in the 18th and 19th centuries.
When teak trees are cut, their sap preserves the wood. This makes it:
Durable. Teak is resistant to climate extremes, insects and fungus. It is not harmed by acids or alkalis. Plus, teak's inherent silica content and natural oils allow it to weather without the need of preservatives or sealants.
Restorable. Even after being left untreated for years, teak easily can be restored to its original golden-brown color. Many prefer to let it weather to an attractive silver-gray. Teak that has been treated with finishes and oils can even be taken back to its original condition by applying the right preparations.
The beauty and durability of teak makes it a popular choice for:
As the largest supplier of teak woods to North America, Canada and the Caribbean, East Teak has the quality inventory on hand to deliver your projects, matched to your specifications. Also check out our inventory of exotic woods, uniquely suited for any commercial or residential project.

Barrie, Collingwood, Hillsdale, Orillia, Lagoon City, Washago, Midland, Coldwater and Orr Lake are all under snow squall warnings.
According to Environment Canada, cold, strong west to northwest winds over Lake Huron and Georgian Bay will generate local snow squalls with visibilities reduced to less than 200 metres in snow and blowing snow.
Near Lake Huron, multi-band snow squalls are affecting areas to the Lee of Lake Huron this morning. Current indications suggest that these multi-band squalls will likely consolidate into one or two squalls by late afternoon or early evening then persist through Monday. Local snowfall amounts of 15 cm can be expected today along with an additional 15 to 30 cm tonight and Monday.
Near Georgian Bay, lake effect flurries, heavy at times, are affecting the Barrie, Orillia, Midland region this morning. Snow squalls are likely to develop by this afternoon then begin to slowly shift westward tonight. Local snowfall amounts of 15 cm can be expected today and an additional 10 to 15 cm tonight and Monday.
Innisfil, New Tecumseth and Angus are under a snow squall watch as local snow squalls are likely today.
According to Environment Canada, cold, strong northwest winds over the Great Lakes will likely generate local snow squalls today with visibilities frequently reduced to less than 200 metres in snow and blowing snow. Snow squall warnings may be issued later today if conditions warrant.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.

"Loved these!!!! So perfect in every way. The paper is gorgeous. I went with an envelope that has a very pointy seal. So chic and fun! The lavender color is gorgeous!"
"My only complaint was the size of the card. I was expecting the usual 5x7, but the card was smaller. I didn't notice that in the description. You should make that more apparent."
"I liked the thickness of the paper...card stock. The colors that I choose (purples) was exactly like the picture showed. I'm also glad I put our return address on the envelopes, very professional looking. I would highly recommend your products."
"I`m having a small wedding and I only needed the cards to invite people to dinner. I love them, because they are casual and cute..just what I wanted! I changed the font because I wanted to fit both our names and last names, changed the color to navy blue (my color theme). Overall, I'm very pleased with this invitation card and with all the staff help to make it just how I wanted it!!!"
"I opened the package with these rehearsal dinner invitations and couldn't believe the quality and color of the paper and style. I was really surprised it was so professional. I found the company online and had no references. What a great find! I ordered the rounded corners which made it look so cool. The colors were exactly as online. The delivery was as scheduled, so fast. I will use Wedding Paper Divas all the time."

I feel so remiss, not getting here sooner to wish you all a merry Whatever Holiday You Celebrate. I hope your days have been merry and bright. Ours have been lovely, filled with friends and family and hoop-de-doo. The Pea's been over here a lot. We shared in the celebration of her third birthday–a week later, Christmas. I think she believes that the entire month of December has been staked out specifically for her. She got spoiled rotten, and we had more fun watching her open her gifts than we did our own. Her Mom's away at boot camp, and everyone's doing their best to fill the gap. We need to build a new toy wing. We need a new closet. She needs a frickin' shoe rack.
Santa was wonderful to me and mine, and we feel incredibly fortunate this year. I don't want to make you jealous or anything, but my husband is the most romantic man in the universe. A few days before Christmas, he went shopping and returned a short time later. He was a man on a mission, and he'd returned from his mission quickly. He wrapped his purchase and placed it beneath the tree. I was intrigued. It was a small box, wrapped in red paper, the size of oh–say. a jewelry box. "What's in that box?" I asked him, but he just grinned. I picked it up and shook it. It was heavier than jewelry, but I wouldn't have put it past him to weight the thing, just to throw me off his trail.
I'm horrible at Christmastime. I worry that I've decorated inadequately. I have mall-o-phobia. I become anxiety-ridden that I haven't bought the Right Thing for the Right Person, and I fret about our budget. I always feel like a complete failure. Worst of all, I am nosy as hell when it comes to my own gifts. If I was a cat, and if what they say about cats and curiosity is true, I'd be writing this from the Spirit World. I rattle packages and feel their weight and try to obtain hints in subtle ways, like asking four-hundred times, "So, whadja get me?" Amadeus stays as tight-lipped as a Mafia don in an interrogation room. This year, he ended up waiting until the last minute to wrap my other gifts, probably because he didn't want to live with a seven-year-old wife any longer than he had to.
While I suck at the Christmas thing, Amadeus is fabulous. He chooses the most perfect presents–straight-from-the-heart items that mean the world to me. He could wrap a jar of olives and there would be some amazingly deep, sentimental meaning behind it. They would be exactly the right size, shape and color. Those olives would make me cry. So, I knew that whatever was in that box was amazing, with a capital "zing."
I'm as serious as angina when I tell you that there's not much I want or need. I'd asked for house slippers, a make-up mirror and plastic surgery, because I'm old and blind and those are things that old and blind people need. But that little red box couldn't have possibly held those things, and I was dying. What was in there? Something special, something unique, something I'd love.
"Would you like some more coffee?" I'd ask my beloved, "And what's inside that box?"
"Yes, and I'm not telling," he'd answer.
"Didn't you love the movie we watched last night? And what's inside that box?"
When The Big Day arrived, we opened our gifts. I got everything I requested (except for the plastic surgery) and then some. Like some sadistic guard at Gitmo, Amadeus made me save the little red box for last. I patiently waited for him to open his presents, and we hugged and kissed and thanked each other. Christmas with him is nice and warm and smushy. Between you and me, he's my greatest gift ever, and he could have gotten by with just sitting near me, playing guitar and talking. It would have saved him a bunch of money. But let's not tell him this.
The lights of our tiny tree twinkled, the Grandpea's stocking was hung by the chimney with care, Theo the Wonderdog® looked swell in the little Santa hat that Amadeus had gotten him. It was all perfect and great, but there was still one lonely little gift sitting there, and it desperately needed me to open it. Finally, Amadeus gave me the green light. I ripped the bow and the red paper off the box and gazed upon its contents. There inside was the most beautiful, lovingly chosen, dreamy gift of all time; small, round and beautiful, its smooth, silver surface twinkled up at me like a million stars from the heavens above.
It was a new Daiwa Silvercast 120 closed-face, spincast fishing reel, lovingly threaded with supple 8-pound green-tinted test line, as romantic a present as any I can imagine. Oh my gosh, I love my husband. Once again, he managed to find the perfect gift. I can't wait for spring, so that I can sit beside him on a riverbank under a sunny blue sky and cast my hook. Watch out, fishies, here I come!

It's not that a Kardashian or Hilton aren't reality-based celebrities . They are and I have no…Read More tolerance for them personally. They are like dinosaur leeches that grab a hold on our societies lowest common denominator and will not let go. We have become a voyeur society and these families are the Queens of that society. It's degrading and putting our morals on a slippery slope. Personally the use of the word celebrity has less than stellar qualities in today's world than it did yesterday I just hate when someone is called a celebrity because of the sex tape or some other lack of talent or because they have money or are a child of someone of significant note. These bottom feeders and I know that's an unkind statement but these folks are useless examples of what we should not strive for in society and wind up being voyeurs instead . This Type of celebrity appears on supermarket tabloid covers , new stories and is really not worthy of even a mention if you actually looked at what they can accomplish however the damage they're doing to our society and to young women and men everywhere is reprehensible and the press just buys right into it. It's a rant against the loose moral fiber invading out media and lives. The real celebrities and heroes we should look up to are still there but we have a different judgment call today those folks aren't stylish there not splashy or glitzy they don't embarrass themselves they strive to make this world at better place , we tend not to reward that kind of behavior and it's really a shame

Unlike the city, county and state workers, they get their money matched. For every dime they contribute to their pensions, the state, county or city matches that dime. What would be nice would be to have the district pay for supplies so the teachers don't have to shell out the money. I understand that extra curricular activities cost money but that is something you choose to participate in. I would love to see the parent's reaction to having to provide construction paper, writing paper, glue sticks, scissors, paint, tape, staples, etc. to their child's education. I know that was just a few of things I had to provide for my students each and every year.

Teacher's contribute 8%, school districts contribute 8.25% and the State kicks in 5%. That's according to CALSTRS which is the State's teacher pension system ( http://www.calstrs.com/general-information/plan-funding-faqs) and a recent OC Register article here: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/state-602273-percent-districts.html. of course, if CALSTRS can't address it's $70 billion unfunded liability, taxpayers have to pick up that tab also.

I found this calculator quite useful for various calculations.
The interface is very easy to learn, you can play with it and learn it eventually,but a manual with examples for each feature is available!
Features :
1)Conversion of most type of qty.s included.
2)Multitap feature is a definite plus point over Casio calculators.
3)Is able to find the regression equations for a data(yes you can enter in data and store in the memory), using linear, quadratic, logarithmic and exponential.
4)You can use it to define a function(say x^2) and give inputs and gives corresponding output in tabular form.
5)The calculator can calculate factorials upto 69!(in scientific notation, with appreciable precision). For 70 memory is overloaded.
6)Was able to calculate difficult definite integral(1 to 5,taninverse(x^2)) in 4 seconds!
7) Many scientific constants included!
8) 4 line display, easy scroll, and you can enter in any previous expressions in your current expression easily.
9) Adjustable Contrast.
Cons ->
1)Has matrix,vector, solving linear eqns systems, quadratic eqns solving feature, but cannot enter complex values in it.
2) Does not support complex no.s inside library functions like sin, cos.
3) Has an insert feature, which allows you to enter a character in between an expression, but we have to keep on pressing insert for inserting characters at different positions. It should have been 'sticky'.

This is the best calculator for an engineer to buy.
This is an investment you will get great benefits from. Do not go for cheaper ones. Buy this one or the casio fx-911es. You'll know the difference when you start solving matrices.
well, I am professional structural engineer using calculators since 2001 ( time of engineering completion ) . without calculator i cannot survive in the office.
Texas Instrument calculator has some design problem, I had to buy a CASIO Fx -991 ES PLUS after buying this calculator
here is my review
First i am listing out the
1. This model is a black calculator. The entire keyboard setup is BLACK and the text is written in blue and the major design flaw is except the numeric keys and the operation keys all the keys are also black in color. It is very difficult to locate the keys . all are black they should have used different colors you can refer the Texas Instruments Ti-30XS Multi view . If you use calculator very frequently as i do then u should be having a wider calculator with a vibrant and Visible keypad .
Compared to Casio this is a major minus point for this calculator .If you see the Ti-30Xs it is having the same keypad with different color and more visibility.
Please remember even in Casio there are models is Es and Ms the old MS model was a calculator having entire black keyboard. Ti should have done some design level survey or research .
The keypad is definitely not ergonomic in design when you are used to professional engineering calculation , and too much calculator use , Such designs are not good . Infact we the indians do not see much into design details .
2. the calculator keys are small and the calculator should have been a wider calculator . The made it this way so that to accomodate 16 digits .
3. This one is not having a slider as casio calculator do . It is simply having a cover . which if not placed at the back of the calculator might be lost .
4. Now coming to the operations , what i have noticed is that after doing a number of square root operations in the same equation , sometimes i get wrong values i entirely have to clear the entire screen and see redo the equation .
I felt this calculator is giving some wrong answers. But inorder to correct them and check them i had to restart the calculator from the start .
i am professional engineer i do not have time to do research on the operations of the calculator or simply check all the calculation the calculator does is correct or not .I simply rely on it blindly as it a very well advanced machine . Most of the time i use complicated equation involving at least 7 to 8 terms most use power , tan , inverse and log.
I felt sometimes this calculator is giving wrong answers.
if the memory is overloaded or too many equations are used.
This is DANGEROUS . Hence i purchased the Casio fX-991 ES plus over this calculator .
5 Anybody using long equations will definitely use "delete" key and "Insert" Key & and the review button . But this calculator simply puts the delete key as small button at the top and clear button is placed just above the the operation keys when u are using it too many times it just becomes a headache .
6. the four way review button which this calculator provides u need to enter that line once again and then redo the operation this is simply some time waste as compared to casio calculator u had to simply press the back key .even in the computer or excel sheet u review by pressing a back not by entire redoing the operation .
Now the pros about the calculator are really gr8
1. This calculator is having more functions than casio calculators .please see the matrix functions
you can find the echleon form, and in case of the vector you can even do the norm , lcm, gcd and regresson formulae and functions are there and are good
2. it gives four line display but reviewing it is gr8 if you are having chain calculation (one line is linked to another by answer and the calculation goes on )
This calculator should be having chain calculation featue which is there is sharp calculators and spreadsheets.
3. Tap tap feature is easy and is gr8 plus point i really like this feature, equation solver is there it is more easy to input the fractions here very easy it is like a piece of cake in this calculator very easy to use the square root operation and x power y operation
now to summarize everything
design : 1 out of 5
features : 5 out 5 ( it really has more features than compared to casio 991 Es plus)
realibility of calculation : 2 out 5
ease of use : 3 out 5
but the most important con about calculator is the reliability of calculation sometimes it is giving wrong answers you just cant clear the screen and retype the entire equation .
inspite of buying this calculator. i purchased FX 991ES PLUS .(991 ES plus has less feature and operations than this but relibility of calculations is there )
I am rating it 2 of out 5
The calculator is refreshing in all aspects - looks, usage and convenience compared to our usual Japanese calculators. Options were very easy to use the first time itself. It is definitely recommended for all engineers and mathematicians.
This 36 X Pro calculator is amazingly good for solving equations of any degree- thanks to very easy user interface and impeccable processing speed! Apart from the normal functions in a scientific calculators, TI comes with additional useful functions like, Prime Factorization, Summation, Product, Vectors, Matrices, Binary Operations, Conversion from polar to rectangle coordinates.
This Calculator is much more capable of dealing with strong manipulation, multiple variable calculations, matrix manipulation than any other Calculators . Its screen is very easy on eyes! TI has a much higher resolution, and natural print of expressions entered. Thanks to the four-line Natural Display with Math Print Mode which lets you type expressions the way you write. The "multiple tap keys", which lets you access multiple functions and variables from single key makes typing incredibly fast.
This is a very expandable calculator with an edge from its other competitors. Another significant feature is it's "ans" key, which lets you copy answer from previous calculations and use it for future calculation.
I feel that it should have come with a slider and should have quicker shortcut keys for degree and radians.
One of the best calculators in the market, as per my experience. It is a very handy calculator and i carry it everywhere i go....Read More

A shoulder MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is a imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the shoulder area.
It does not use radiation (x-rays).
Single MRI images are called slices. The images can be stored on a computer or printed on film. One exam produces dozens or sometimes hundreds of images.
See also:
MRI - shoulder; Magnetic resonance imaging - shoulder
You may be asked to wear a hospital gown or clothing without metal fasteners (such as sweatpants and a t-shirt). Certain types of metal can cause blurry images.
You will lie on a narrow table, which slides into a large tunnel-like tube.
Some exams require a special dye (contrast). The dye is usually given before the test through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. The dye helps the radiologist see certain areas more clearly.
During the MRI, the person who operates the machine will watch you from another room. The test most often lasts 30 - 60 minutes, but it may take longer.
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 - 6 hours before the scan.
Tell your doctor if you are afraid of close spaces (have claustrophobia). You may be given a medicine to help you feel sleepy and less anxious, or your doctor may suggest an "open" MRI, in which the machine is not as close to the body.
Before the test, tell your health care provider if you have:
Because the MRI contains strong magnets, metal objects are not allowed in the room with the MRI scanner:
An MRI exam causes no pain. If you have difficulty lying still or are very nervous, you may receive medicine to relax you. Too much movement can blur MRI images and cause errors.
The table may be hard or cold, but you can request a blanket or pillow. The machine produces loud thumping and humming noises when turned on. You can wear ear plugs to help reduce the noise.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time. Some MRIs have televisions and special headphones that help you pass the time.
There is no recovery time, unless you received medicine to relax. After an MRI scan, you can resume your normal diet, activity, and medications.
MRI is a very useful tool for diagnosing and evaluating sports-related injuries. It can provide clear pictures of parts of the shoulder (such as soft tissues) that are difficult to see clearly on CT scans.
Your doctor may order this test if you have:
A normal result means your shoulder and surrounding area appear normal.
Abnormal results may be due to:
This list is not all-inclusive. Consult your health care provider with any questions and concerns.
MRI contains no radiation. To date, no side effects from the magnetic fields and radio waves have been reported.
The most common type of contrast (dye) used is gadolinium. It is very safe. Allergic reactions to the substance rarely occur. However, gadolinium can be harmful to patients with kidney problems who require dialysis. If you have kidney problems, please tell your health care provider before the test.
The strong magnetic fields created during an MRI can cause heart pacemakers and other implants not to work as well. It can also cause a piece of metal inside your body to move or shift.
Tests that may be done instead of an MRI of the shoulder include:
A CT scan may be preferred in some emergency cases, since it is faster and usually available right in the emergency room.

Hypertension - home monitoring
Your doctor may ask you to keep track of your blood pressure at home. To do this, you will need to get a good quality, well-fitting home blood pressure monitor.
There are two types of monitors you can use at home: a manual monitor, and an electronic or digital monitor. A digital monitor is a better option. It is very important that you have a monitor with a cuff that fits your arm (above the elbow). Make sure that the cuff is the right size (one size does not fit all).
Practice using the monitor with your doctor or nurse to make sure you are taking your blood pressure correctly.
Ask your doctor to show you how to use the monitor. Your arm should be supported, with your upper arm at heart level and feet on the floor (back supported, legs uncrossed).
It's best to measure your blood pressure after you rest for at least 5 minutes. Do not take your blood pressure when you are under stress, have had caffeine or used a tobacco product in the last 30 minutes, or have recently exercised.
See: Measuring blood pressure for steps to take when measuring your blood pressure.
Manual devices include a cuff that wraps around your arm, a rubber squeeze bulb, and a gauge that measures the blood pressure. A stethoscope is needed to listen to the blood pulsing through the artery.
You can see your blood pressure on the circular dial of the gauge as the needle moves around and the pressure in the cuff rises or falls.
When used correctly, manual devices are very accurate. However, they are not the recommended type of blood pressure monitor for home use.
A digital device will also have a cuff that wraps around your arm. To inflate the cuff, you may need to use a rubber squeeze ball, or simply push a button and the cuff will inflate by itself.
After the cuff is inflated, the pressure will slowly drop on its own. The screen will show a digital readout of your systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
After showing your blood pressure, the cuff will deflate on its own. With most machines, you must wait for 2 to 3 minutes before using it again.
A digital blood pressure monitor will not be as accurate if your body is moving when you are using it. Also, an irregular heart rate will make the reading less accurate. However, digital monitors are the best choice for most people.

To Make a Horse Stand
To Make a Horse Stand � How are western horses trained to stand when the bridle reins are thrown over their heads? Could an ordinary two-year-old horse be trained in this way?
I cannot say how western horses are trained. The reins are not thrown over the horse�s head. The western bridle rein is in two separate pieces, each about five feet long and they are simply dropped, one on each side. The horse stops as soon as the reins are dropped and stands still until they are picked up again.

I went float tubing on a large artificial lake yesterday with a couple of friends. They fished Western style, with John using an Intermediate sinking line and Ron using a 3 inches per/second sinking line. I started out with a TUSA 10.5 foot Kevlar line and a small Bead Head Orange Wooly Bugger, which produced no action at all for me while they were getting hits and infrequent fish on similar orange colored fly patterns.
Shortly, the wind came up. And I put on a floating T-line and an ant pattern and proceeded to the windward side of the lake, which was devoid of anglers when I started. But which became filled with anglers from the adjacent campground by the time I got there. I managed to catch and release one nice rainbow trout there, and get a few more hits I didn't succeed on along the face of the dam where my two friends were doing much better than I was.
I had never fished a level FC line for trout before in a lake. And although I had gone back to fishing a weighted subsurface fly pattern again, it just wasn't getting deep enough on a floating line to get into the strike zone. So I put on a 13.5 foot long TUSA (green) size 4.5 line, to which I added the tippet with the Orange Bead Head W.B. on it, and then added another 3 feet of tippet as a trailer with an Orange Sheeps Creek fly pattern on the end of it, and I started getting hits but still failed in landing any fish. The hits all felt like little fish, with no solid takes.
Ron ended up filling his 5 fish limit, while John was able to keep 3. This is a put and take fishery and they wanted some fish to eat. John lost a lot of fish and he probably hooked more fish than Ron did. And Ron also lost a lot of the fish he was hooking, while I had almost no action in comparison. The wind blown terrestrial fall I was counting on for success failed to materialize and I went nearly fish-less. What I needed was a deeper running faster sinking T-line to float tube troll flies in this lake in order to catch fish. So I am going to eventually get a Titanium line and see if it will improve my chances in these kinds of fishing situations. I just hope that the Titanium line is Knot-2-Kinky....Golden.

Bummi Original Diaper Cover - Medium
" I think I used the previous generation of this diaper and they have updated the design. However, if you're going to buy these used or whatnot, you can keep my review in mind! I bought these used when I was pregnant. They had been used by one baby before mine. The velcro was in great condition. The velcro is quite large on baby's belly. I would say that these diapers would be best..." --LunaLady
Bummis Pull On Diaper Cover (Small 8-18 pounds, Ocean)
" I really like this cover, its like an old style cover but with a breathable fabric! Seems to be a very comfortable and relaxed fit, Very nice fit around the legs so its snug but still able to move. Only thing bad is that it seems to have too much fabric in the front and not enough in the back so its a little tricky to get some of the fitteds completely covered, requires some fidgeting but..." --Denise Poirier
Bummis Tot Bots Easy Fit One-Piece Diaper 8-35 lbs
" Let me start by saying that if I lived in England/Scotland, we would probably diaper exclusively with Tots Bots. That said, I am in the US, so the increased cost of these associated with the guilt over our fossil fuel footprint make that impractical. I fell in love with the prints through their sister company Bummis (based in Canada) and splurged on a couple for my daughter. The prints are..." --cbwilke
Bummis Organic Cotton Prefolds Diaper
" I was so happy to find these when my son was born. He was born 7 weeks early and I still wanted to cloth diaper, despite his small size. I bought these (the preemie size is such a great deal on Amazon!) in 'preemie' and used them with the newborn Bummis Super Brite covers and they worked PERFECTLY together. My son started wearing them when he was 6 pounds and he wore them for about..." --LunaLady
Fuzzibunz One Size Diaper
" I bought these used from a Mama here on MDC. I wanted a night time diaper that was very absorbent, but wouldn't leave my LO feeling wet and getting rashy like my cotton prefolds had been doing. The six I received were all in excellent condition - one was even new, unused. Initially I liked these diapers. I thought the design was cool. I spent a good hour painstakingly fitting..." --LunaLady
Bummis Super Brite Diaper Cover, Green, 8-16 Pounds
" I am turned off by this diaper for the velcro alone. Even when the laundry tabs were fastened, the velcro still stuck to everything and they are a mess after only a few months. I will only purchase this brand with snaps next time. The Material is great! We had no leaks, they were a bit bulky but not too bad. They were a pretty tight fit however around the legs on our chubby legged boy so..." --Denise Poirier
Bummis Bio-Soft Liner
" Now I know I'm not supposed to flush these but my mother in law (who watches DD once a week) DID NOT know this and 2 weeks into using these we had to call a plumber out to have the pipes snaked. In the end we quit using any liners at all because I didn't like throwing them away. These ones are actually durable enough that you can wash them once and reuse them. Nice for the wallet but I felt..." --Rachel88
Fuzzibunz In And Out Mess Free Hanging Diaper Storage Laundry Bag White
" I love this product! It worked well when we had it hanging, but we moved the bakers wrack thing that it hung from and now it works very well as a trash can liner to store the wet dipes in! I have not had any problems with leaking and it keeps smells in pretty darn well. I can't think of any cons. Over all, I would definitely recommend this product to others! " --hal454
Bummis Super Brite Diaper Cover
" I bought these covers to go with Bummis Organic Cotton Prefolds. I bought newborn covers and preemie prefolds and they worked just PERFECT with each other. My son was 7 weeks early and I wasn't prepared for that - I didn't have cloth diapers that would fit him. When we brought him home he was 6 pounds and these covers fit him great. The newborn size is from 4-9..." --LunaLady
" This diaper is one of our favorites because it is SO trim. I hate for my son to feel like he has a big wad between his legs all the time so for that reason this is a go to diaper for us. My main problem with them is that the fleece collects mineral deposit and soap residue very easily so they have to be stripped often. Also the PUL on the 2012 version is extremely sticky and sometimes hard to..." --hal454
