Transfer Admission Officer
Biography in Brief
A graduate of Laguna Beach High School and Chapman, Mike came up through the ranks in the Office of Admission after coming to work as a "rookie" admission counselor upon graduating from Chapman in 1974. During his 35-plus years at Chapman his professional network has become extensive, and he is highly visible in admission circles, serving the admission professional organizations, WACAC and NACAC, in various formal and ad hoc capacities. Mike and staff were the recipients of the 2002 WACAC Service Award. His wife, Trish, daughter Michelle and son, Brian, are all Chapman alumni.
Advice from Drummy:
If you request a counselor, teacher, or other individual to write a recommendation or submit a transcript or other documentation on your behalf, don't simply assume they did this for you. You need to follow up with them and also monitor the status of your application on-line to make sure the requested documents have been submitted. Every year, application files remain incomplete and are never reviewed because the applicant did not follow up on their own behalf.
Drummy's favorite spot on campus:
Top row of Chapman Stadium. Beautiful views…nice ocean breeze.
Drummy's best Admission memory:
I had recently graduated from Chapman and just returned from my second voyage on Semester at Sea. Mike Fox, Chapman's director of admission and a buddy of mine, challenged me to a game of HORSE (basketball shooting contest). If he won, I would have to go to work for him in the Admission Office. He did, so I had my first real job but I told him I would only do it for one year because I was thinking about moving to Hawai'i. But Mike was smart…the first thing he did was give me Hawai'i as my recruitment territory. That was 36 years ago and I'm still here…enjoying every day…and still visiting schools and recruiting in Hawai'i.
Drummy's best Chapman memory:
There are, obviously, so many…but a couple of things stand out: I vividly recall the first time I saw my wife, Trish Madigan Drummy '81, walking across campus. I was stunned and my life, although I didn't realize it at the time, was changed forever. And traveling around the world twice as a student on Semester at Sea also changed my life and showed a kid who'd never seen much outside of Orange County what the rest of the world looked, smelled, tasted, and felt like. Whether you've traveled much or not, you should seriously consider doing a Study Abroad while at Chapman. Doing so will change your life, too.

"Sockless" Simpson rallies populist farmers
Signaling a growing movement toward direct political action among desperate western farmers, "Sockless" Jerry Simpson calls on the Kansas Farmers' Alliance to work for a takeover of the state government.
Simpson was one of the most popular and influential leaders among Populist-minded western and mid-western farmers of the late 19th century. Angered over low crop prices, crippling bank loans, and high shipping rates, farmers began to unite in self-help groups like the Grange and the Farmers' Alliances. Initially, these groups primarily provided mutual assistance to members while agitating for the regulation of railroads and grain elevators. Increasingly, though, they became centers of support for more sweeping political change by uniting to help form the new nationwide third-party movement known as the Populists.
Simpson understood the West and the challenges of making a living in that difficult land. Since 1878, he had operated a ranch in southwest Kansas, where he first became involved in Republican politics. During the economic downturn of the 1890s, he became disgusted with the Republican's timid and ineffective efforts to help farmers and ranchers. Like many other men and women who worked the land for a living, he abandoned the major parties to try to achieve more fundamental change through the Populists.
Simpson became one of the most influential Populist leaders, thanks in part to his extraordinary wit and talent for cagey publicity stunts. Running for the U.S. Congress in 1890, Simpson's opponents sarcastically accused the Populist candidate of being a backcountry rube who did not even wear socks. Simpson quickly turned the insult to his advantage, proudly calling himself "Sockless Jerry" or the "Sockless Socrates of the Plains." Simpson's down-home manner and humor won him wide support, and he served in Congress three times during the 1890s. Had he not been Canadian by birth, he would likely have been nominated as the Populist's presidential candidate.
As with most third party movements in the history of the U.S., the Populist Party was short-lived. By 1898, Simpson was out of the Congress and Populism was all but dead. Still, Simpson and the Populists did succeed in pushing elite Americans to adopt some of their ideas. The Progressive-minded politicians of the early 20th century achieved at least some of the Populist goals, such as regulation of the railways. Shortly before he died in Wichita in 1905, Simpson noted that the Progressive politicians of the day were "just learning now what the farmers… knew fourteen years ago."

As a little girl I used to stand in my pajamas at the utility sink in the laundry room and watch my father clean fish after an evening on the river. He would empty a creel of eight or so trout under running water into the sink — brookies, browns, rainbows. Sometimes they were still faintly flapping and gasping. Dad would take a fish in one hand, and with a sharp knife in the other, he would slit its belly from gills to tail.
He would slip his finger in, and out would slide the guts and organs into the sink. Sometimes we'd find eggs close to the tail of the females. He would scrape scales off the skin and cut the head off. Then he would pack the cleaned fish along with several others in an old milk carton or plastic bag, which he would fill with water and stash in the freezer.
I watched my father catch, kill, and clean a lot of trout, and I would feel sorry for the trout. I also ate a lot of fried trout. I have long lived with an awareness of the conflict, but it has never kept me from eating trout (or fishing for them myself).
Lately I have been greedily devouring a wonderful book by Novella Carpenter called Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer. Ms. Carpenter lives in a section of Oakland, California, that is so beset with poverty, homelessness, drugs, and crime that no one seems too worried about the goofy white girl who has taken over a vacant lot next door to her apartment and planted an organic utopia of fruits and vegetables and is keeping a slightly illegal array of chickens, bees, geese, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, goats, and (once) pigs.
Her story is compelling and funny. Ms. Carpenter is earthy in many senses of that word — from her impressive growing abilities to her language to her fearlessness with livestock.
She is raising animals for meat. Ms. Carpenter is not insensitive to the full implications of breeding and caring for a creature for the purposes of killing and eating it, and her telling of the life and death of Harold the Thanksgiving turkey is detailed and unflinching. In the course of the book she kills and eats other animals, too. There is always a moment of breathlessness, in which she seems to step outside of herself and watch her own actions with horror and fascination. It is not unlike the sensation I experienced watching my father clean trout.
While she seems unresolved about the act of killing a sentient being and consuming it, I would argue that Novella Carpenter is courageous — more courageous than most of us. Generally speaking (and faithful vegetarians notwithstanding), we modern carnivores don't want to see, don't want to know about that moment when a creature's throat is cut, or when a body shudders in death throes, or when the eyes cloud over. We don't want to know about plucking or flaying or bleeding out or viscera. Yet those moments have occurred so that we may eat what we crave. What we want to know is cellophane-wrapped protein that is completely disconnected from its life source — cold and bloodless, with little resemblance to an actual animal.
My chickens have names and chickenalities. I know them, I nurture them, I even love them. People sometimes ask me if I would ever kill one of my chickens if I got really, really hungry. The answer is yes, I would. I have considered raising birds for meat, but I'm not sure how my neighbors would feel about the bloody mess the process entails. And truth be told, I'm not sure I'm up to it yet. I still see the fish flapping and gasping, but those were my father's hands, not mine.
Recently I have been thinking about rabbits. Some say that rabbits are the new backyard chicken. I'm not so sure the analogy holds up, but then I got to thinking about knitting, and yarn, and spinning, and angora rabbits. So I've decided to do a little research. A couple of friends have offered to help me learn to spin fiber. Wouldn't it be interesting to harvest angora and spin it into yarn?
Whether this would be a step closer to meat or a step further away I am not certain. But it is a step closer to an awareness of the interconnectedness of all life — and death.

Shaanxi (simplified Chinese: 陕西; traditional Chinese: 陝西; pinyin: Shǎnxī; Wade-Giles: Shan-hsi; Postal map spelling: Shensi) is a north-central province of the People's Republic of China, and includes portions of the Loess Plateau on the middle reaches of the Yellow River as well as the Qinling Mountains across the southern part of the province.
By regular Hanyu Pinyin rules, if tone marks are not written, both Shaanxi and the neighbouring province of Shanxi should be spelled "Shanxi"; the difference is in tone: Shānxī and Shǎnxī. To make the difference clear without tonal marks, the spelling "Shaanxi" was contrived (following the romanization system of Yuen Ren Chao) for the province of Shǎnxī, while "Shanxi" is used for the province of Shānxī. Shaanxi is the official spelling on Chinese Government's official web portal.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) Oklahoma's stingy secondary is getting another chance to slow down a 3,000-yard passer.
The Sooners held Nick Florence, the nation's leader in passing yards per game, to a season-low 172 yards in a win over Baylor last week. On Saturday night, No. 13 Oklahoma will try to put the kibosh on West Virginia's Geno Smith, who will try to help the Mountaineers break a four-game losing streak.
``We know that they're explosive,'' Oklahoma safety Javon Harris said. ``We know what they're capable of. We've seen what they did at the beginning of the year. You never can sleep like a team like this.''
Smith threw for 364 yards and two scores in a 55-34 loss at Oklahoma State last week. It was his first 300-yard passing performance in five games.
He'll get one of his stiffest tests against an Oklahoma defense that has allowed only two opponents to throw for more than 200 yards this season.
``Those guys are really talented, and they play a lot of man coverage, which is the difference, one of the key differences in my opinion,'' Smith said. ``They have one of the better pass defenses in the country. So it will be a challenge and we look forward to it.''
This won't be the game that was envisioned over the summer as a showdown among Big 12 contenders.
The Sooners (7-2, 5-1 Big 12) don't control their conference destiny with No. 2 Kansas State a win away from clinching at least a share of the championship. Barring a meltdown by the Wildcats, Oklahoma must win its remaining three games to remain in contention for an at-large BCS bowl berth.
After starting the season 5-0, West Virginia (5-4, 2-4) is desperate to become bowl eligible. Another setback would give West Virginia its longest losing streak since 1986 and a third loss at home this season, something that hasn't happened since 2001.
The Mountaineers have allowed an average of 50 points during the losing streak, and Smith is still having a solid season despite not being able to keep up with his leaky defense and watching his Heisman Trophy credentials disappear.
He's third in the Bowl Subdivision with 338 passing yards per game and needs one touchdown pass to break the single-season school record of 31 he shares with Marc Bulger.
``It's human nature to think how I wish I could've made some plays differently that could have affected some games, but being the player that I am, I don't really think about it,'' Smith said. ``I just move on because there's more football to be played.''
Heavy favorite Oklahoma is 3-0 on the road, in addition to beating Texas in Dallas. The best an opposing receiver has done against the Sooners this season is six receptions - West Virginia's Tavon Austin leads the nation with nearly 11 catches a game, and teammate Stedman Bailey is not far behind at eight.
``They still throw the ball all over,'' Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. ``They've still been highly productive. Of course they're a dangerous offense.''
Oklahoma's Landry Jones has six touchdown passes in the past two games and could follow a season-long trend of star passing performances given up by West Virginia's defense, which ranks last in the FBS by allowing 344 passing yards per game.
``We're going to have to give them our best shot,'' said West Virginia defensive coordinator Joe DeForest. ``But we don't have to play over our heads. We just have to play consistent football.''
While Oklahoma has let four opponents compile at least 200 yards on the ground, the Sooners may not have to worry about that with West Virginia, which has been held below 100 rushing yards in its last three games. Andrew Buie has handled most of the load because Shawne Alston remains slowed by a thigh bruise and Dustin Garrison isn't fully recovered from offseason knee surgery.
But West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said Buie will wear down if he has 20 carries every game.
``We are working extremely hard to recruit about five or six running backs who can come in here and give us help,'' Holgorsen said. ``And until that happens, it is what it is.''

The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our oils are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
Hence, CBD wholesalers in Moorefield need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for.

Wholesale CBD Pain Relief Lotion Benefits
Looking at CBD, you will find that a lot of the research is still in the early stages. However, thanks to the changing laws in a number of places, there are more people starting to realize the many medicinal benefits that hemp has. CBD pain relief cream is something that has been able to help a countless number of patients within the United States who live in areas where marijuana has been legalized to get great benefits.
While many people have often immediately gone to the idea that marijuana is mostly known for THC content, researchers have been working hard to identify many of the other components of the plant that can be beneficial to a wide range of patients. It is more important that ever that you get your CBD pain relief cream from an authorized manufacturer and a distributor that you can trust. Every state that has legalized medical marijuana has rules in place regarding the making and distribution of any creams like this. It is best to look into the laws and guidelines where you live to be sure that there are products available that you can buy that adhere to these rules and guidelines.
When it comes to such a cream, you also need to understand how much of the cream you should be using and the best way to apply it. The ingredients get absorbed into the skin, so it may be hard to determine the right dosage in the beginning. Some people will recommend the use of a chart that helps you to track progress with any cream. For example, you can make notations on your pain level with each application.
While you are noting the use of the cream, write down how much you are using and the brand. You can then record how you are feeling after about fifteen minutes and up to an hour later. Keep a log like this and you will find that you have a good bit of quality information that you can refer to on the dosing and how your body may be reacting. Proper monitoring of all application locations will help you to get a better idea.
CBD pain relief cream can be used in a number of states where it is now legal, and it can help to give you a great deal of comfort and freedom from the pain that has been holding you back on a daily basis.

Reasoning and Proof, and Representation
In middle school, the mathematics curriculum is more complex and abstract than at the elementary school level. Students at this age are making the transition from concrete representations to expressing mathematical ideas using symbols. Through communicating both orally and in writing, students can begin to clarify their thinking and learn how to express their ideas in more abstract ways, for example, by using symbols. Explanations should include the "why" and not just the "how" of the problem-solving process.
Problem Solving and Connections
As students work to solve problems through talking and writing about their thinking and listening to the ideas of others, they will begin to build a repertoire of strategies they can use to solve a variety of problems. They will begin to see and appreciate the connectedness of mathematical concepts as well as how mathematics is used outside the classroom in all aspects of everyday life.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 is the latest version of Kaspersky's powerful security suite, a combination of antivirus, firewall, spam filter, antiphishing tool, ad blocker and parental controls system (amongst other functionality).
This new edition adds "Trusted Applications Mode", an extra layer of security in which only known and safe programs are allowed to run on your system. Sounds interesting, although beware, Kaspersky says the availability of Trusted Applications Mode depends on your region, provider and other technical factors (it seems like you'll just have to check the trial version to see if you're in luck).
Elsewhere, the Parental Controls system now includes a permissions system to decide who can run particular games and applications.
Safe Money automatically protects your transactions with even more online banks and web stores, while also allowing you to choose your preferred browser.
There's new protection against screen lockers (malware which locks your system and demands a fee to release it), while the anti-phishing module has been improved and updated.
And a stronger focus on performance brings a host of welcome benefits. The suite starts more quickly; GUI performance has been improved; resource use is down; and the system switches to a new "limited activity" mode when your PC is idle, so reducing its workload and helping to extend battery life.
What's new in 2014 revision D?
- Some interface issues.
- Issues with Virtual Keyboard, Block dangerous websites module, and Kaspersky URL Advisor plug-ins in the Mozilla Firefox browser version 25, 26.
- Issue with application startup after updating databases and restarting the system.
- Issue opening https://www.google.com in Google Chrome (error establishing an SSL connection).
- Incorrect processing of the Trusted zone exclusions (appears after system restart).
- Issues loading webpages in Mozilla Firefox / Google Chrome / Internet Explorer after installing the application.
It's not the most interesting of updates, but Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 still offers excellent protection and needs to be on your security shortlist

Is there an update on the new grocery store where the Black Hog Saloon was?
Just in Aruba week of 12/05/10. Did not shop at the new Ling's in Noord, but did a quick walk through. Appeared to be fully stocked and a good selection.
the new grocery store on palm beach rd in the noord neighborhood is ok at best (IMO).
the shelves seem to be better stocked then when we were last in it in august.
the bakery, deli, produce and meat dept are lacking in stuff.
it still does NOT compare to Lings, superfood or certified.
the name of the place is "kong fui"
the area where adventure golf/alfredos and the black hog once stood is still "nothing"...a bunch of dirt piles.
Earlier this month I did a price shopping comparison between the new Kong Fui and Ling's....I was shocked that many prices at the Kong Fui were cheaper. Examples...diet coke, yogurt, ice cream (Haagen Daaz, of course), mangos, tea. On my first trip, the mangos were PRIMO. On the 2nd trip they were bad, but that happens at Ling's as well.
Now, of course Ling's has a much larger selection in many departments, and the lighting is much better; but it's nice to know that I can drive around the corner for some basics at a cheaper price.
re: the lighting
yes the lighting in kong fui is weird....is it dim?
the store seems like it should be a MACYS or a BEALLS it seems like it should be a department store.
the entire upstairs is ready for occupancy of office or retail.
when we went thru last week to pick up a few items the few items we got were a bit less expensive than lings.
see my posting about kong fui and debit cards!!
the "new lings" is now about 4 or 5 years old....maybe older?
the kong fui opened in june 2010 and is still not quite 100% stocked and has a limited meat and deli section. i think that the poster was mistaken by calling kong fui the "new lings".
the "to be named later" grocery store that is to be built on the hunk of land where adventure once stood is no where near complete.......the building has not yet begun and there are just big dirt piles there.

'Unknown Pleasures' by Peter Hook
For music fans of a certain age and outlook — old and misanthropic — there is nothing quite like Joy Division, the brooding yet strangely buoyant British band that oozed from the punk movement of the 1970s.
Though it recorded only two albums, neither of which attracted much attention at the time, Joy Division's jagged melodies were an important influence on U2, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, and a host of lesser talents — I'm talking to you, Depeche Mode — who made a mint mimicking their sound. But the mythology surrounding Joy Division also has to do with its baby-faced singer, Ian Curtis, who was 23 when he hanged himself on the day before the band's first US tour.
In "Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division," a new and, for fans at least, entertaining memoir by bassist Peter Hook, we learn that a group famous for seeming oblique and arty, dangerous and doomed, was actually an unpretentious lot, just four working-class lads from Salford, a suburb of Manchester. OK, maybe this isn't a revelation — we got the same sense reading "Touching From a Distance," by Deborah Curtis, the singer's widow, and from Michael Winterbottom's "24 Hour Party People" and Anton Corbijn's "Control," two terrific films about Joy Division — but Hook, whose low-slung bass laid the bedrock for the band's songs, has a credibility and perspective the others do not.
He's also funny. While the book details Curtis's debilitating mental and physical problems — he routinely suffered hourlong epileptic seizures that required his mates to hold him down — it doesn't dwell in the darkness or indulge those who would deify Curtis. There's plenty of amusing stuff here about the band's humble beginnings, including how they developed "the Joy Division sound." (Hint: It helps to have a "dreadful, absolutely . . . awful" bass amp.) About the pranks pulled on touring partners the Buzzcocks, one of which involves 10 pounds of maggots. And about the many sketchy clubs the band played. (Hook was a suspect in the Yorkshire Ripper killings because his van was so often sighted in red-light districts.)
To his credit, Hook isn't bitter that Joy Division died with Curtis in 1980, just as the band was on the brink of commercial success. Perhaps that's because he and guitarist Bernard Sumner and drummer Stephen Morris carried on as New Order, a highly influential band in its own right. But Hook does wonder what might have been.
"[N]owadays if we'd released an album like 'Unknown Pleasures,' we'd have been nominated for the Mercury, be swanning around Glastonbury fighting off mates of Kate Moss, and sitting on sofas with Fearne Cotton," he writes, sounding, by his own admission, like an "old fart."
"[K]ids in bands these days," he writes, continuing in fuddy-duddy fashion, "[w]ith their sound men and stage managers, and overproud parents, poncing in and expecting everything laid out for them. You go to a gig now . . . and it's got toilets with paper in them, and central heating, and everyone gets a rider and coffee and clean towels and all that."
This is what makes "Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division" a worthwhile read. It's an unromantic, nitty-gritty account of a band getting going in the punk era. Writing, for example, about the Nazi imagery Joy Division used early on to provoke — to "get up the noses of the older generation" — he doesn't make excuses or apologize.
If Hook does have one regret, it's that he and the others didn't make Curtis take a break, or at least baby-sit him until he got on that plane to start the US tour. But they didn't. On April 28, 1980, Joy Division shot the video for their classic song "Love Will Tear Us Apart," and on May 18 — less than a month later — Curtis was dead.
"I really think that if he'd made it to America he'd have lived," Hook writes.
Of course, we'll never know, will we?

New state budget also increases transportation funding by $351 million
STOCKTON – The California Transportation Commission (CTC) has allocated $510 million to 83 transportation projects that will put people to work improving the state's highways, bridges, and public transit. One of the highlights of the meeting was the CTC revising its funding estimate upward for the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) for the 2014-15 fiscal year from $2.2 billion to approximately $2.4 billion. The revision was in response to the new state budget, which provides $351 million in new transportation funding through the early repayment of loans made to the General Fund.
The new funding includes $210 million for the SHOPP, which pays for transportation safety projects, pavement repair and preservation work, and upgrades bridges; $27 million for Caltrans maintenance projects; $100 million for city and county transportation; $9 million for bicycle and pedestrian projects under California's new Active Transportation Program; and $5 million to mitigate environmental effects of proposed transportation improvements.
The $510 million in CTC funding allocations include nearly $163 million for "fix it first" projects that will repair bumpy pavement, preserve roads that are in good condition from deteriorating and upgrade bridges to make them safer and stronger. Most of California's highways are more than a half-century old, and they carry nearly half of the nation's container freight – heavy loads that pound our highways more than any other state.
"To get the most bang for the buck for taxpayers, Caltrans targets dollars where they are most effective - pavement preservation," Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty said. "Every $1 spent on preventive pavement maintenance saves Californians $11 that would have been spent on expensive pavement repairs."
The allocations also include $104 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. To date, more than $17 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been put to work statewide for transportation purposes.
Here are some of the significant projects that will improve and/or preserve California's valuable investments in its transportation system that received allocations:
- San Joaquin County: $5,740,000 – Construct a new underpass on Navy Drive in Stockton, accommodating a future four-lane highway and an additional mainline to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe/Amtrak shared track. It will reduce vehicle delays, improve air quality, enhance the movement of goods and reduce noise pollution.
- San Joaquin County: $624,000 – Install 15 pedestrian curb ramps at various locations on State Route 4 (SR-4), SR-26 and Interstate 5, in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
- Mariposa County: $2,149,000 – Rehabilitate pavement on Mt. Bullion Cutoff Road, near the town of Mariposa, from SR-140 to 1.1 miles west of SR-49. Crews will reconstruct the road surface of approximately four lane miles.
Please see the attached file for more information about all projects that received allocations.

Minecraft Light-Up Torch
It produces level 14 light
- Easier than crafting one yourself
- Mounts to your wall

Sometimes it's just easier to buy the Torch instead of crafting it, especially IRL. So, when you've run out of charcoal and wood or just can't seem to make enough to stop hostile mobs from spawning, get yourself the Minecraft Wall Torch. Place one every 12 blo-feet in your home along the walls and it'll stop any hostiles from popping up.
Another plus is the most recent patch enabling you to mount your torch on glass! Melt away that snow or prevent your lake from freezing, only in a 2-block radius of course. You can even mount it in a pumpkin for an adorable jack-o-lantern. Okay, don't actually do any of that, it'll just end up breaking. Just mount it on your wall because it looks cool and maybe, MAYBE it'll keep zombies away. So far, it seems to be working. Have you seen any zombies lately? Didn't think so.
Product Specifications
- For Ages 6 and up

Intel is trying to give a much-needed boost to Windows 8.1 tablets with a new holiday "Buying Guide."
Front and center are tablets (PDF) like the Dell Venue 8 Pro, HP Omni 10, and Lenovo Miix 2.
All of the tablets in the guide use new Intel Atom Z3000 quad-core "Bay Trail" processors.
The 8-inch Dell Venue (see CNET's hands-on here) is one of the highest profile Windows 8.1 tablets to date because it boasts decent specs with a small price tag of $299 -- at least for a full-blown Windows 8.1 device.
Those specs include a quad-core Z3740D Bay Trail processor, an 8-inch 1,280x800-pixel-resolution IPS screen, 2GB of RAM, a full-size SD card slot, Micro-USB charging, and weight of about 0.9 pounds.
Though a resolution of 1,280x800 may seem inadequate compared with the 2,048x1,536 resolution of the 7.9-inch iPad Mini Retina, on an 8-inch screen it can more than enough for many people. (That comes to 188 pixels per inch for the Dell for those keeping score).
The $299 base model comes with 32GB of RAM. Up that to 64GB and the price is $349.
And, remember, this isn't Window RT 8.1, this is the real deal that runs any Windows application a laptop can.
Next up is the HP Omni 10, which recently became available at the Microsoft Store.
Specs for the Omni 10 include a 1,920x1,200 resolution 10.1-inch display (which comes to 224 pixels per inch), an Intel Z3770 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, Micro HDMI port, 32GB of storage, a Micro SD card reader, and a weight of 1.4 pounds.
(Note that all of the Windows 8 tablets covered here include an SD slot to expand storage beyond 32GB, which may be limiting for some users.)
The Omni is priced at $399.
Finally, there's the Lenovo Miix 2, with specs similar to the Dell Venue 8 Pro, including an 8-inch 1,280x800 display, 2GB RAM, 32GB of storage, and a Micro SD slot.
The Lenovo is listed at $299.
Intel also put 2-in-1 hybrids on the buying guide -- but those have already received lots of attention.

Holt-Howard was an importer that started working in New York City in 1949 and moved to Stamford, Connecticut, in 1955. John and Robert Howard and Grant Holt started Holt-Howard, whose first products were Christmas items made and sold in the United States. The company sold many types of table accessories, such as condiment jars, decanters, spoon holders, and saltshakers. The figures shown on some of its pieces had a cartoon-like quality. The company was bought out by General Housewares Corporation in 1969. Holt-Howard pieces are often marked with the name and the year or HH and the year stamped in black. The HH mark was used until 1974. There was also a black and silver label. Production of Holt-Howard ceased in 1990. Similar pieces are being made today by Grant Holt, one of the founders, and are marked GHA.

Special master's action to halt consolidation effort in New London criticized
New London - A day after the school district's special master put on hold the planned consolidation of the school and city finance departments, City Council President Michael Passero said he doesn't agree that Steven Adamowski has the authority to delay the merger.
Adamowski announced his plan to put the consolidation on hold at Monday's Board of Education meeting. Passero said Tuesday he wasn't aware Adamowski's announcement was going to happen.
"The City Council found out about that when he told it to the public last night at the school board meeting. He has not sat down to hear the City Council's reasons for doing what they did with the budget," Passero said. "So how he can sit there and dictate without hearing the other side of the story is beyond me."
As the district's special master appointed by the state, Adamowski has the authority to manage and allocate any federal, state and local education funds coming to the district.
"I am allocating the cost of the business office from the budget. ... It's a budget allocation decision," Adamowski said Tuesday. "Rather than dismissing the five or so staff members and the business administrator, they would be staying on, and funds would be allocated for me to retain that function."
He said the consolidation was "all part of a much larger, serious issue that the state board took into consideration when appointing me."
In April, the school board voted against its own Finance Committee's recommendation to not approve the consolidation. Nearly a month later, a motion to rescind the board's prior approval of the consolidation failed 4-2. The two who dissented in both board votes were Chairman William Morse and board member Elizabeth Garcia Gonzalez.
"I was stunned to find that the board voted on this without having a single piece of paper in front of them. It's just not good planning, and this relates to a much larger picture, personnel and curriculum, which is where the board also has statutory obligations," Adamowski said.
The City Council's Finance Committee endorsed the consolidation, which moved forward with the adoption of the 2012-13 city budget.
Passero said that when the Finance Committee of the City Council agreed to consolidate with the district, that the council freed up $500,000 by transferring the personnel in that office to the city finance department, so they would all be working under one finance director.
"The City Council made a genuine effort to free up city money for the education of our children. We put the dollars towards educating our children. For council and Board of Education members to support that, it took political courage," Passero said.
However, Adamowski said that the statutory obligations the school board has to provide are much deeper.
"This is not a situation where the board can just take over the city. It's not a situation where the city can take over the board," he said. "The only way this can be done is through a joint situation where a finance director would report to the mayor and the superintendent. This cannot be done overnight as a political action."
Ideally, if the consolidation moves forward, Adamowski said the two departments would first have to act under the same financial software system and then merge.

WASHINGTON—Famous kidnapping survivors Jaycee Dugard and Elizabeth Smart have words of wisdom for the three women found this week in Cleveland years after their disappearance.
Dugard was abducted from a California bus stop in 1991 at age 11 and held captive for 18 years in a backyard, where she gave birth to two children conceived by rape. She made an oblique reference Tuesday to the Cleveland case as she accepted an award in Washington from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
"What an amazing time to be talking about hope, with everything that's happening," she said in her brief remarks. She urged the hundreds of people at the annual awards gala not to give up on missing children. "Just urge yourself to care," she said.
The Cleveland women, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, went missing about a decade ago, when they were in their teens or early 20s. They were rescued Monday after Berry kicked out the bottom portion of a locked screen door and used a neighbour's telephone to call the emergency dispatcher. The owner of the home and his two brothers have been arrested, but no charges have been filed.
Dugard, in a statement released earlier through her publicist, said the women need a chance to heal and reconnect with the world. She said that the human spirit is resilient and that the case reaffirms that people should never give up hope.
Dugard's mother, Terry Probyn, said in Washington that she understood what the relatives of the Cleveland victims were going through.
"I feel the same relief and the same joy that I felt when Jaycee was returned to me safely after 18 hellish years," Probyn said. "I never doubted for one minute that I would someday be reunited with my daughter."
John Ryan, CEO of the centre, praised the vigilance of investigators in Cleveland, saying they followed up on tips and never forgot about the missing women.
"There are other missing children out there that are only a phone call away from getting away from their predators," Ryan said. "I have every hope and confidence that this will lead to future recoveries."
Police paid visits to the Cleveland house after reports of a naked woman seen crawling in the backyard a few years ago and also after a neighbour heard pounding on the doors and noticed plastic bags over the windows. The department is conducting an internal review to determine whether anything was overlooked.
Ryan said the three women would likely be honoured by his group.
"I think they're going to be at the top of the list," he said.
In comments Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Smart said she was overjoyed to hear about the happy ending for the Cleveland women, who escaped Monday after being missing a decade.
She said the ordeal highlights the importance of the public staying alert and vigilant. She advised the women to focus on moving forward and let go of the past. Smart says it's also important for others to respect the privacy of those women as they recover from the decade-long ordeal.
Smart was kidnapped from her bedroom in Salt Lake City when she was 14. She was freed nine months later when she was found walking with her captor on a suburban street in March 2003.
