UTSA's nine colleges collaborate and provide students with a top-tier education. There are 158 degree programs offered to nearly 29,000 students.
For students aspiring to continue in a health-related profession, the Health Professions Office should be one of the first offices to visit once enrolled.
Created as a partnership between UTSA and The University of Texas School of Law, The Institute for Law and Public Affairs (ILPA) prepares upper-level undergraduates for law school or careers in public affairs.
UTSA offers a wide variety of programs to enrich educational opportunities for students. Programs such as First-Year Experience Program, ROTC and the Honors College are designed to provide opportunities for research, service and leadership.
Advising at UTSA is tailored to each student's academic plans. Students with declared majors are advised in the Colleges' Freshman Advising Center during their first year to get the extra assistance freshmen need. Those who already are planning to go on to law school or medical school can benefit from UTSA's pre-professional programs.
Whether students need help passing a difficult class, researching, writing a term paper or landing a job, UTSA offers comprehensive and customized academic support to students through offices such as the UTSA Libraries, Student Computing Services, the University Career Center and others.
UTSA wants to make sure students have a great college experience inside and outside the classroom. To that end, the offices that handle the university's academic services work together to make the registration and tuition process as smooth as possible.

The program is for all veterans, and lineup begins at 12:30 for the Veterans March into the 1 p.m. program, which takes place in the auditorium.
Retired Col. Richard Combs is the chairman of the committee, and he recognized member Evelyn Collins for manning a table for veterans at the Lions Club fair. The table provided information about Veterans Appreciation Day and pavers available at the Veterans Memorial at the Courthouse.
The chairman said Gray Station Better Hometown Manager Heather Busby made a presentation to the Board of Commissioners last week about a veterans park to be located next to the memorial. The commissioners unanimously approved the park.
Treasurer Bonnie Duke gave her report of $4,856 in the organization's checking account. Duke said the gifts for the veterans have been received, and Vietnam hats will be sold as a fund-raiser.
New banners have been received for the veterans walk, and they were donated by Speedy Signs.

Food in the Classroom
From the Allergic Living archives; this popular article was first published in the Canadian edition of the magazine in 2007.
THE PIZZA day. The monthly birthday cake. Treats from the teacher for a job well done. Those holiday celebrations. The dad with the MBA using spreadsheet skills to organize the preschool snack schedule.
The amount of food the average child comes in contact with at the modern school is several times what his 30- or 40-something parent encountered as a pupil. Today's staples include the pizza-at-school fundraisers, rich and fatty cafeteria food, and school vending machines brimming with oversized beverages and chocolate bars.
Add to the mix the modern child's obsession with computers, the hours of instant and text messaging time, and results are a shocker: kids across Canada and the United States are more overweight now than at any other time in history.
Between 1978 and 2004, government statistics show that the proportion of overweight Canadian kids aged 6 to 11 doubled to 26 per cent, while the rate of teenagers who were too heavy also doubled – to a whopping 29 per cent. The rate of obese teens tripled to 9 per cent.
Due to weight issues, the federal government stated that, for the first time, this generation of children might not live as long as their parents. In the United States, over the past three decades there has been a doubling of obesity rates for preschoolers and teens, and a tripling for the 6-to-11-year-old group.
"Kids are drinking more sugary drinks, and you have exercise being designed out of their lives," says Dr. Brian McCrindle, a cardiologist at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, professor of pediatrics and author of Get a Healthy Weight for Your Child. "Because of safety concerns, they don't play outside, and you see a proliferation of sedentary pursuits, video and computer."
As children have grown ever heavier, the concurrent trend, of course, is the skyrocketing of food allergy. A study from Mount Sinai's School of Medicine in New York, published in 2004, confirmed what allergists knew anecdotally; the incidence of food allergy in the U.S. had doubled, and those statistics are mirrored in Canada. Six to 8 per cent of Canadian school children now have food allergies, which can cause dangerous, even life-threatening reactions. Provinces and states are considering and, in a few cases, passing anaphylaxis-readiness laws in the schools.
But as those bring restrictions on what is appropriate for the lunchbox, simultaneously, the weight issue has grabbed the attention of educators and the media. The result: the pendulum is beginning to swing toward better nutrition in some schools. This means a new focus on fruits and vegetables, which happens to dovetail neatly with concerns about allergens in the class, since those foods are not the top allergenic sources, and they won't lead to accidental exposures.
The Institute of Medicine, a scientific advisory group based in Washington, produced a report in April, 2007 calling for a dramatic new approach to food in the classroom: no food as rewards; no food for celebrations. Then it ranked foods into tiers. Tier 1 is acceptable: fruits, vegetables, real juice, low-fat dairy, and nothing with trans fat.
These are the only snack foods to be allowed for elementary school children and fundraising efforts, while higher-fat and sugary Tier 2 food could be available for after-school activity for teens. No snack, though, should be more than 200 calories.

Football legend, Brett Favre, recently talked about being concerned over memory lapses he's been experiencing. He believes the lapses may be a result of the numerous concussions he suffered as a professional football player. He joins an ever-expanding group of ex-NFL players that report serious memory issues as well as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and devastating diseases. Many of the ex-players believe that the frequent concussions they received are at the root of their mental health problems.
As more and more adult sports figures talk about their concussion related medical problems, the spotlight shifts to concern for young student athletes and protecting them from experiencing concussions. From grade school through college, experts have been creating and implementing programs to prevent concussions as well as guidelines for when a student can return to participate in sports after receiving a concussion.
Researchers are now beginning to explore another side to student concussions – when should a student resume classwork?
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued recommendations for "return to learn", a checklist to alert doctors, school administrators and parents to potential cognitive and academic challenges to students who have suffered concussions.
"They're student athletes, and we have to worry about the student part first," said Dr. Mark E. Halstead, the lead author of "Returning to Learning Following a Concussions, a clinical report in this week's Pediatrics.
People tend to associate children's concussion only with sports related activities, but that leaves out a whole other group of kids that get concussions for a variety of reasons. From skateboarding to car-accidents, from tree climbing to slipping off a curb while texting and not watching where you're walking – there are lots of ways you can sustain a brain injury.
The brain needs time to heal and requires rest after an injury. Experts have come up with a game plan for when to return to physical activities, but what about "cognitive rest" for tasks such as studying, taking tests and reading? Researchers aren't sure how long the brain needs to rest before returning to schoolwork.
Experts have not identified at what point mental exertion impedes healing, when it actually helps, and when too much rest prolongs recovery. Although many doctors are concerned that a hasty return to a full school day could be harmful, this theory has not yet been confirmed by research.
The student's pediatrician, parents and teachers should communicate about the incident, the recommendations said, and be watchful for when academic tasks aggravate symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, sensitivity to light and difficulty concentrating. The academy acknowledged that case management must be highly individualized: "Each concussion is unique and may encompass a different constellation and severity of symptoms."
Most students have a full recovery within three weeks, the article said. But if the recovery seems protracted, specialists should be consulted.
Schools can have a positive impact on a child's recovery by helping students ease back into the regular curriculum. To alleviate a student's headaches, for example, schedule rests in the school nurse's office; for dizziness, allow extra time to get to class through crowded hallways; for light sensitivity, permit sunglasses to be worn indoors. Students accustomed to 45-minute classes might only be able to sit through 30 minutes at the outset, or attend school for a half-day.
"Parents need to follow up with schools and make sure plans are being followed," Dr. Halstead said.
It may take a month before a child is ready to resume full school involvement.
Dr. Matthew F. Grady, a pediatric sports medicine specialist at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia who may see 50 patients with concussions a week during the fall sports season, often suggests that before students return to class, they should first try modest amounts of school work at home, to identify if and when symptoms recur.
"But that ramping-up period will depend on the severity of the concussion and the cognitive demands on the student," he said.
If your child has suffered a concussion, talk to your pediatrician or family doctor about a medical plan to help your child return to his or her studies. Notify your child's school and let the proper authorities know about the concussion and your physician's recommendations when your child is ready to return.

Hi There.
I had 'normal' BP before a bout of PE at 24 weeks (del. 25 wks). I was very sick and my kidneys took a hammering. My BP has not returned to normal, and 1 year on is still treated with meds. Question - Is this fairly 'normal' after a particularly severe bout of PE?
Thanks for your time!

Wednesday, August 28, 2013
Former St. John's Christian Academy football coach Bill McCall has been named to the South Carolina High School Football League's review panel.
McCall was appointed to the review board by District 100 Rep. Eddy Southard, giving the area much needed representation with SCHSL.
"Bill McCall is the perfect candidate to fill this position," Southard said. "He's a football man and he's local, and will give the area a voice in future disputes."
McCall's appointment comes following the disqualification of Goose Creek from the 2012 Class AAAA football playoffs for using an ineligible player.
"In future disputes the district at least will have a voice in any proceedings," Southard said.
For McCall, who stepped down as St. John's football coach in June after 12 seasons, he is honored being named to the panel.
"I am looking forward to working on this panel," he said. "I believe each appeal should be given special consideration and the impact of each decision needs to be considered."
McCall said he represents the first congressional district on the 10-member panel.
"There is a representative from each congressional district and three members who are appointed from the governor, lieutenant governor and House speaker," he said. "When a ruling by the high school league is appealed, it will go before this panel instead of the high school league."
Along with his 12 years of coaching experience at SJCA, McCall was a member of two state championship teams at Berkeley in 1994 and 1996. McCall was also named Coach of the Year in SCISA Region III from 2009 through 2012.
McCall is a graduate of Charleston Southern University and employed by Santee Cooper.

[...] An IMT is a translation of a text in a language L1 to a string of elements taken from L2 where, ideally, each morpheme of the L1 text is rendered by a morpheme of L2 or a configuration of symbols representing its meaning and where the sequence of the units of the translation corresponds to the sequence of the morphemes which they render. [...] An IMT is needed whenever it is essential that the reader grasp the grammatical structure of the L1 text but is presumed to be so unfamiliar with L1 that he will not be able to do so merely with the aid of a normal translation and the context in which the text is cited. [...] The primary aim of an IMT is to make the grammatical structure of the L1 text transparent. The textual fluency of the IMT by standards of the L2 grammar is a subordinate aim at best.

I'm not sure if this is how I introduce myself because I'm new, so if it's not right, bear with me lol.
My name is Ashley and I'm 19 years old. I delivered my son, Kaden, at 33 weeks due to PROM and PE which turned into full blown toxemia that nearly killed both of us. I also have some other problems such as GBS and diabetes. He is now 18 months old and thriving =). We live up in Flagstaff and I'm going to school to become an RN. I just wanted to introduce myself.

Henrico's Top Teachers – 2012
Profiles of 20 teachers who make a difference
Teachers do not seek out publicity or acclaim for what they do, but we believe they deserve to be recognized for their efforts. In our second annual 'Henrico's Top Teachers' issue, we tell the stories of 20 outstanding Henrico County teachers.
This year's class includes teachers from throughout Henrico County who teach grade levels from preschool through high school and GED. They were nominated – along with more than 200 others – by readers during the month of November.
The volume of nominations received for this section – more than double the number received for last year's inaugural issue – was overwhelming. Nominations came from parents, grandparents, colleagues, administrators – even students and former students. Paring the number of candidates to just 20 was no easy task.
We're proud to present profiles of these teachers, who were selected for inclusion in this issue based on their professional successes and their personal touches. Each one has, in his or her own unique way, touched hundreds of lives and helped mold the future of Henrico County.

Dear Editor,
I'd like to say thank you to Dave Chase, owner of Redstone Cyclery, for giving me the straight scoop on a bike I brought in for a tune-up. Thank you for saving me money, for asking me what kind of bike riding I want to do, and for giving me sound advice on what to do next. I'm planning to get back riding this year and you are getting me off to a good start.
Thanks again,
Carol Pranschke

Twenty three people made the difference in regard to the ballot initiative! That is not a lot, but in a democracy, that's enough! Twenty eight people could have voted to deprive patients of their medicine, hard working people of their jobs, and business owners of their livelihood.

Finding the time and the right person to date can be a tug-of-war with your schedule and your heartstrings. Enter the highly-touted SpeedLA Dating group and let the magic of matchmaking unfold with their "Indulge Me" package. Reservations at exclusive restaurants, priority invitations to parties and events, two make-overs, a custom stylist session and SpeedLA's coveted "This, that, and the other" Concierge Service find you on six intimate and customized Date-Nights with the city's most sophisticated singles.
Once you set up your SpeedLA account, you will receive an email confirmation with details and questions to help them better find your "Date Mate". The more information you give, the better they can match: you can indulge details via email, phone or an in-person chat.
While you're waiting for your first match (you'll have the opportunity to meet and connect with six singles total, each Date-Night addressed with the same careful procedures), prepare to look and feel your best. Highlight your features and find the looks that suit you with a makeover and stylist session with SpeedLA's experts. Within ten days, you'll have your first date scheduled based on mutual aspirations, expectations and likes.
SpeedLA can suggest the right scene for your evening out, or you can utilize their "This, that, and the other" Concierge and request a reservation at some of the city's hottest restaurants -- think Katsuya, Geisha House, STK -- and clubs (if they know you're with SpeedLA, you'll skip all velvet ropes and lines). Alternatively, feel free to request a booking at one of your favorite venues if that will make you feel more comfortable.
You'll also be privy to priority invitations for SpeedLA's special events including Holiday, Valentine's and televised productions (SpeedLA was featured on Bravo's "Top Chef Masters" and NBC/Oxygen's "Bad Girls Club", among others).
If at any point in the process you have a question -- about an outfit, dinner conversation, hair style, whether or not to bring flowers, who's going to pay -- go ahead and give SpeedLA a call and they'll be happy to help you weigh all your options.
First and foremost, SpeedLA focuses on your safety, happiness and comfort. Using their refined and successful approach to dating, they have one simple goal: to help you find an ideal and compatible partner. Always using the utmost discretion, they intend to lead you straight to the man or woman of your dreams: the rest is up to you.

"Hey party people! This is Young with another exciting event blog post! So not too long ago, I detached myself from a way-too-looooong relationship of 5 years and entered a wonderous world of single-dom. And if you're anything like me, it's been very liberating and quite enjoyable to say the least. Have been a man-hater for the past 5 months, I now realized I actually missed having some testosterone in my life. I tried the whole bar/club night scene for a while and realized that there weren't much substance there. Sure my friends had friends, but no one I'd concider in a million years… and to be honest, it was hard being picked up at the local art exhibits or the grocery store.
So the next best thing came knocking at my door one day and I jumped at the opportunity… Speed Dating!
You hear about these things in movies (40 Year Old Virgin), through stories, but never did I think I would want to try it. I did it for the pure joke of it, while I still could. It sounded like fun! I called up another single girlfriend of mine and we went, hand in hand, completely nervous and out of our minds. After a shot and a few cocktails, we loosened up and learned that it wasn't half as bad (Oh, how I love alcohol!) We expected to see complete losers… No way! There were about 17 dudes, a whole variety of them, from successful business engineers, to computer tech geeks (whom were more fun to talk to), and there was that one guy that didn't have a job, ahem. To my surprise, many of them weren't that bad looking! Unfortunately (or maybe it was a good thing personally), I didn't make any love-connections, but I'm sure plenty of the other girls found a match or two. So here's how it goes…
This classy event (requires a pre-charge of only $38) didn't require stupid name tags, annoying whistles, or a loud host yelling "Times UP!" This was chic British style. Our host had a very british accent and was super charming. She made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, although at times it was a bit hard to understand her. This company circulates thru different hot spots in LA and other cities. This time it was hosted at the beautiful Geisha House. All the ladies were seated at their own tables and we were all given score cards to mark one another from "I love him!" to "Not In a Million Years." While the women stay seated, the men rotates from table to table, how nice is that? We each get 7 min to get to know one another and at the end the cards are collected and you are done. The entire event flies by so quick and is so fast paced, that you don't realize that 2 hours has gone by. After the hosts review your cards and if you and the other score each the same, he is requested to contact you via email within 24-48 hours. Simple.
To sum things up… I had a great experience. There's a first time for everything, and I completely recommend this for any single individual looking to hook up. It's very legit and very possible! Sorry no interesting photos. I did plan on posting this event on the blog, but decided not to snap a photo with every guy, thinking it might freak him out and give him the wrong impression of me.
Hope you guys understand. Either way, hope you enjoyed it! "
We pull up to STK and valet my car. This swanky restaurant / bar has been featured on Entourage, so automatically you know it will be populated with store mannequins dressed in the latest fashions, staring blankly at each other with plastic smiles and hollow souls. We saddle up at the bar and settle in. Soon it's time for us to enter the adjoining lounge to begin our speed-dating. The host is a lovely young British woman who hands us our "score-cards." The score-card has a rating system numbered one through five: one being "I'd fancy a go!" and five being "Not in a million years." Did I mention that SpeedLA Dating claims to be the "U.K. version?" No whistles or alarm clocks, just a British girl who gingerly taps you on the shoulder when it is time for us "blokes" to move on to the next "bird." How "charming."
I am sequestered to a table with some other guys, as a result of six girls not showing up to the event. It's a sausage-fest, alright, and to bide my time while the rest of the lounge begins dating, I order another Jack & Ginger. I walk up to the host and ask her when I can expect to jump in the game.
"In a minute. Do you have a score-card yet?"
"Uh, yeah, you just gave me one."
She looks at me, confused, and I realize not only doesn't she remember me from moments ago, but that over her shoulder she is standing talking to another person. It takes me a moment to realize I am not already drunk and seeing double, but that she and her identical twin are hosting the event: "Woah, for a second there I thought I was seeing double," I shake my drink in my hand, doing a lame Dean Martin impression. She looks at me with vacant eyes, bored with the fact that I exist.
Eventually, I am directed to Girl Number One of approximately fifteen. To describe each girl in detail would be a futile exercise for me and my friend Jack Daniels. But I can say that a majority of these girls are either Asian or Hispanic, with a few Jewish and Caucasians thrown in for good measure. The age-range was specified by the service as being 24-36 (prime coupling years) and they all appear respectable and educated, if not entirely head-turning. I am surprised, however, to discover that a majority of these girls are native Angelinos. Never before in my eleven years in this city have I encountered so many genuine female locals as I have now, and I try to figure out some sort of pattern. In addition, nearly half of these girls are either lawyers or in the process of becoming lawyers—what does it all mean?
I reach the end of the line and mark all dates as number fives, aka, "not in a million years"… except for Girl Ten. Call it a "lone impulse of spontaneity," but if I had to choose any single girl from this bunch, it would have to be Sophie. Why the hell not? Let's stay in the spirit of things. I hand my card in to one of the twins, efficiently weave my way to the bar and order another drink. As there are more men than women, I have time to kill for Sophie to finish her rounds.
"How'd you do, champ?" the female Puerto Rican bartender asks me with a smile.
"Sweet girls, but not for me. Besides, I'm here on assignment."
"Oh? What for?"
"I'm a writer. This is for an article."
She laughs and serves my drink, "Get out! I don't believe you."
The next evening I find myself neck-deep in this very article. I'm feeling inspired and confident…until now. I have no ending. No conclusive epilogue to wrap things up and make sense of being single in L.A. That is, until I receive an e-mail from an "Anoush Stevenson," the owner of SpeedLA Dating. Her e-mail is as follows:
Hi Marco,
I hope you had fun at STK last night and that Jade & Nikita took good care of you. I must say I found your Scorecard to be very sweet, as I know you brought Sophie along as your friend. She didn't seem to be enthused about anyone at the event either, however I do not have a match for you. I am happy to help in anyway I can if you feel uncomfortable letting her know or asking her out on a date. If she is like me or most women, then she is probably completely oblivious to your affections. I am always available for advice. Let me know.
Best, Anoush
Needless to say this was an unexpected, and amusing, turn of events considering I was not expecting any e-mails from the service. How this woman could read so much into a score-card is beyond me. Anoush's caring seems to go above and beyond the typical business owner's, even if the business happens to be love. Despite the possibility of making things awkward between my colleague and myself, I feel inclined—as a dutiful journalist—to include this development as a humble summation of the event. The irony that the owner of the dating service e-mailed me personally to offer her support in pursuing the girl I walked in with, is not lost on me. Irony truly makes the world go round.
As the traffic roars around us, as we find ourselves divided and isolated in this giant neon mecca called home, I am convinced that the people of Los Angeles might not be so doomed, after all. We can choose to abandon these concrete islands with a little whiskey and a lot of faith. We can choose to reach out over the widening fault-lines and connect with each other.
How fast you want to go, is entirely up to you.
Like cupid with his bow and arrow, the owner of a two-year-old speed-dating company hopes to hit a bull's-eye with a British approach to introducing singles in the Glendale area. Anoush Lauren, owner of Beverly Hills-based SpeedLA Dating, introduced her unique first-date experience to Glendale on Tuesday night at Katsuya in the Americana at Brand. Lauren started the business in London, where she was born and raised.
"When I moved here two years ago, I hired all English girls to help me," she said. "I wanted to bring the English, fun version of speed dating here. I wanted to make it more like a chic party or get-together."
What makes her quick singles event different from the others, she said, is there are no bells or whistles abruptly signaling people to move to the next prospective mate. The hostesses go around and tap them on the shoulder to casually coax them to move along.
"We're not taking it so seriously," Lauren said.
This more laid-back version is very popular in England, she said. SpeedLADating locations are always at upscale restaurants, and the aim is to blend in participants with the regular patrons, not segregate them, she said.
"We believe in treating singles more like regular people instead of castoffs," she said. "We try not to make it such a glaringly obvious singles thing."
Tuesday's event was the first speed-dating experience for Stacey Harutunian of West Hollywood. She came with a friend, which made it easier, but she admitted that she thought about bailing out a couple of times. Then she tried to look at it positively.
"Whatever — it will just be a good time," she said. "It's fun to meet new people, and the guys who are here are here to meet people too."
Rafael Cunanan, of Burbank, came to the event after it was recommended by a friend.
"I'm always up for new things," he said. "This is my first time. I'm excited."
The event offers couples a few minutes to talk and get an impression of who they might want to spend more time with, Cunanan said.
William Roberts of Granada Hills attended an event by the same speed-dating business a couple of weeks ago.
"I'm here because there was no match at the first one, plus it's fun," he said.
Jacki Hardman, of Rancho Cucamonga, has done online dating and wanted to try the face-to-face approach, she said.
"People have a whole new persona online," she said. "Meeting in person, you don't get a lot of the built-up expectations. It's harder to fake that in person than online."
Thirty-six people attended the event. To help break the ice, Lauren said, sample questions were on cards on the tables. A few examples: "If you were president, what would you do first, and what power would you most want to abuse?"; "What is the best way to end a bad first or blind date?" and "What's your idea of the perfect marriage proposal?"
The cost is $36, which includes a mini makeover for the ladies before the event, she said. When participants make their reservations on Speedladating.com women can choose to have a makeover.
"It's a nice little fun perk for the women, and it's been really popular," Lauren said.
While several of the couples who have met at her events are still dating, none have married, she said.
"Some of them come together to other speed-dating events," she said. "Others have networked through it."
The most popular range age group that participates is 21 to 35. Following Tuesday's introduction to the Glendale area, Lauren hopes to make the Jewel City a regular stop for the event, as well as Burbank, Pasadena, Hollywood and Marina del Rey. Before Tuesday, the quick-date events were only in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas.
I promise you speed dating isn't creepy. What started as a dare has led to a slight personal fanaticism in the realm of pre-fab matchmaking.
I'm not a serial dater, I don't online date, and I rarely (if ever) go to bars to pick up a guy. Still, I found myself nervously perusing the LA speed dating institutions (SpeedLADating, fast life, cupid.com, pre-dating.com, dateanddash…) to find a service that would let me hide amongst their droves of perky singles and figure out how creepy speed dating actually is.
All the young, tanned blondes with bouffants (guys love bouffants), clutching each other with one hand and cupping their drink in another in photos splashed across the sites made this kind of thing seem tolerable, almost fun. Still, I'm not blond. I don't hit the clubs or the glitzy nightlife scene, like, ever. Was speed dating too cool for me? Will anyone actually LIKE me? Stop me if I sound like Carrie Bradshaw, but I was stewing; I was nervous and excited for the opportunity, but still felt like a total dork, a total desperate, single dork. Was I alone? Was I wrong?
After scouring the Internet I found one company that promised to accommodate my inquisitiveness: SpeedLA (or, speedLAdating, depending on the pen, the personal tattoos that they give out, or the website). They offered an intimate speed-dating environment with a genteel, British, twist.
I thought: I like British People. Let's do this.
I made a plan to go to one of their many events (and they ARE many in number). SpeedLA has specific events depending on your age, affiliation with the entertainment industry and sexual preference.
I was so, so nervous.
When I got there, I was ushered into the back room of the trendy Bungalow Club. Anoush Stevenson, my gracious hostess (and the woman who had to put up with all of my cancelling and rescheduling due to pure chicken-shittedness) greeted me, and walked me to the bar. My dress was really short, and I sort of felt like I was wearing a leotard. People started drifting into the back room, nervously eyeing one another. Would there be connections tonight? A couple of men (seasoned speed-daters, I imagined) started up conversations with more of the nervous-looking girls (yes, I fell into that group). The girls seemed decidedly more attractive than the guys (though this seems to be a trend with every speed dating service, one which I still find odd). I thought, was this against the rules, pre-talking? What can I possibly talk about with all these different men? And this one, getting heady, is already trying to get out my good material (e.g. where I'm from and what I do).
Then, the game began. It works like this at Speed LA: You get seven minutes with each guy, and then you write on a card if you liked him. If they like you, Anoush sends their email to you and vice versa.
My initial nervousness soon turned into confidence. There's something about guys listening to you, flirting with you (even if it leads to nothing) and getting a single serving of your quirky awesomeness that really makes a girl feel like hot shit. And even if the guys hated me and my coolness seemed all in my mind, I rationalized; I'd never really know it until the day later, when you get the match email. At the end of the event, I put down every guy I could and scuttled out of there.
The next day I got, according to Anoush's proud email, 4 matches! 4! They liked me, they really liked me!
I mean, I'm not hideous, but I'm not a supermodel. I'm a normal, single girl with a bit of social anxiety. Soon, she asked me to go again, and I did. I also tried some other companies, though I preferred Anoush and SpeedLA (call it first timer's loyalty, the cute accents, I don't know). The result of all of them was the same: I didn't really meet anyone whom I could call boyfriend material (and I don't think, inversely, anyone was smitten by me) but it was fun as hell. And fast. And made me feel hot. And that's incredibly important, it seems, to find one's self attractive, in a town that makes one feel so decidedly unattractive, even inadequate.
Speed Dating more and more made me feel hotter, and though the conversations get repetitious, you start gleaning some great personal histories from the people you meet. Maybe I'll keep doing it and will find someone I can date. Who knows? I promise, it can only help.

-Los Angeles 265 Nightlife
A Bear, a Drink and 16 Men
By Sophie Harben
Dating in Los Angeles is hard. Nothing about a coffee shop on every block, the 405 freeway at rush hour or the smog at any hour, exudes romance. So what is a girl to do? I sought an answer through a friend of mine who recommended I try Speed Dating by a new company based in Beverly Hills, SpeedLA Dating. Speed Dating they say – UK Style. Unsure exactly what UK style was, I approached with caution. The night arrived and I was greeted at the door by several British hosts. All personable and all with good teeth – the LA smile has made its mark on the Brits. After being checked in, I was given the option of a make-over by a professional make-up artist who was just off to the side primping another woman. More than a make-over, I needed a drink. I bypassed the make-up artist and the woman, waved and headed for the bar. Martini in hand with SpeedLA nibbles abound, I was given all the tools I would need for the night; a SpeedLA Scorecard, logo pen and instructions on how to find Marylebone, SpeedLA's resident bear.
Prior to intermission, Marylebone would be hidden and should I find the bear in question, I would win $50. With gas prices at $4 per gallon, I made it my new mission in life. I was briefed that I would meet 16 men; we would chat for 6 minutes and then rotate to the next dater. One minute longer than my last relationship. The following 2 hours was a whirlwind of dating. With some men I dated I found the 6 minutes not nearly long enough while others allowed me the necessary time to plot out my course in finding the bear. The night ended. I selected my Date-Mates, the top 5 men I would most like to date again and handed the scorecard to my nearest host. With choices on the score card ranging from "Never in a million years" to "Fancy a go", filling out the scorecard was half the fun.
Before leaving, I spoke with the owner, Anoush Stevenson, an authentic Brit herself. I couldn't help but ask about her first name. I don't remember meeting many Anoush's on my last trip to London. She answered she was half British, half Armenian, and grew up in England. My response, "Which half is the better half?" to which she coyly responded "Depends on which side of the family is asking". Anoush is both witty and professional and seems to have created something unique. So exactly what is Speed Dating – UK Style? Anoush says "It is a lovely bit of fun, in a sophisticated setting." Did I meet the man of my dreams? Not quite. Did I have a 'lovely bit of fun' I think I might have – UK style. For anyone who is keeping track, I never did find the bear. The woman I had waved at earlier, receiving the make-over, found the bear, won the $50 and left with a date-mate! I really have to stop drinking.

India were 32/5 when Dhoni came in. And his 9 was the equal second-highest score.
And I don't remember that Ind/WI game very well, but it wouldn't surprise me if top-order wickets fell then also. I do remember Zaheer/Sharma bowling pus though, a much more likely source of costing India the game.

This is the very definition of link bait. Your "source" is as good a guess as any, but the only place where reliable Apple news "leaks" is through controlled messages to All Things Digital. Whoever tipped you off has a good imagination at best.
iPad 3 announcement March 7, quad-core, possible 4G LTE
According to sources who have been reliable in the past, Apple currently plans to hold their iPad 3 announcement on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Along with the 2048x1536 Retina display, the iPad 3 will feature a quad-core Apple A6 system-on-a-chip, and possibly 4G LTE networking.
The March 7 date fits with what AllThingsD reported last week, about the next iPad event being scheduled for the first week of March, and Wednesday is a traditional day for Apple to hold these types of events.
Whether Apple would simply improve and optimize the current dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor found in the Apple A5 SoC, or go quad-core has been a lingering question, with 9to5Mac finding code references to quad-core but The Verge hearing otherwise. However, it sounds like they're going quad-core.
4G LTE networking has been another mystery surrounding the iPad 3, with a compatible Qualcomm chipset becoming available, but international LTE coverage is still slim, and in some cases a year or more away. It sounds like Apple has 4G LTE lined up for iPhone 5 this October, but we're still not certain if the iPad 3 will get it earlier. Verizon is going to want iOS devices that go faster than 2-3mbps, of course, especially with AT&T offering HSPA 14.4, and potentially faster, models. Apple could release a 4G LTE variant model, targeted at Verizon, AT&T, Rogers, Bell, and other carriers that have rolled out enough support to see demand, or they could wait and debut it in the next iPhone instead. (No doubt Apple has already decided, it just isn't clear to us which way they went for the iPad 3.)
Other rumors from iLounge have included better cameras, either a 5 or 8 megapixel rear camera and a FaceTime HD front camera. We haven't received any information on these, though any camera Apple includes will have to fit into the thin iPad 3 casing. Likewise, they're probably going to want to keep component costs down low enough to maintain their $499 entry level price tag. (Even if Apple decides to keep iPad 2 around, with a low end, low storage offering at $399.)
Again, these are rumors, and an extract of a lot of information we're still trying to properly sort, but we'll update when and as needed to clarify and correct. Either way, we'll only know for certain when Apple executives take the stage next month to officially announce the iPad 3.

iPad 3 announcement March 7, quad-core, possible 4G LTE
"It's important to note that even reliable information is subject to last minute changes by Apple" That there qualifies it as link bait. It takes months to make even a small redesign, and re-tool. Either the source is reliable or isn't. None of this "last minute changes" BS.
Apple changes things at the last minute all the time. They changed the iPhone from plastic to glass screen in 3 weeks. They pulled the camera from iPod touch 3 at the last minute.
Please feel free to disagree, but we're fairly careful about posting rumors here (our last one, on the iPhone 4S launch, turned out to be pretty damn solid).
No, hardware changes for the sake of feature/design are not possible* at this point. Millions of of units have already been produced with many millions of sub-components already in the pipe-line.
If a source knows something they know something. If not, they don't :) The last min. has already passed for this release!
*Sure, if Apple found some critical issue with the hardware they could scrap all of the units already assembled but that is not what we are talking about here I don't believe.
Removed that line. Now what? Does it substantively chance the veracity of the story? Does it make your comment any more productive or virtuous? Does it draw the iMore community into any better debate about a device we're all waiting for?
iMore worked really hard to get and vet this story. What are you bringing to the table?
I agree. Great info. iMore has a good track record, and the article speaks for itself. Link bait wut? Feel free to not believe it. Trust me, the earth will continue to spin on its axis, as planned.
Can you read, it says accoring to sources who have been reliable in the past
They arn't stating ANYTHING about the current reliability of the source, simply stating in the past, they have been reliable.
"iPad 3 announcement March 7..." the title is the biggest link-bait I've seen! It makes readers feel as if Apple has announced March 7 as iPad launch date. hah!
lol, so in the end it was March 7th http://www.imore.com/2012/02/28/apple-ipad-event-set-march-7-10am-pt/
This makes sense. Apple's first device for Verizon was the iPad1 - with CDMA in it... giving Apple a chance to get their feet wet with CDMA & data before releasing the iPhone4 on Verizon. And the October release for the next iPhone also makes sense - because that also happens to be when people who jumped on the iPhone4 will be 20 months into their contracts, and...as is typical with Verizon - eligible to get a new phone and renew a contract... and, by October, much of Verizon's network will have LTE available to make it worthwhile for Apple to do.
There was never an iPad 1 with CDMA. Verizon just sold iPad 1s with MiFis.
I know, I hate waiting for the END OF THE FRIGGIN YEAR for a new phone, having skipped out on thr 4S. But, contract is up in December, so less out of pocket. But the waiting! Come on! :)
How is it link-bait? This is the information we received, we know it to be reliable, we published it.
We have a great reputation when it comes to this kind of info, so feel free to disagree, but just calling it link-bait is easy, and frankly cheap.
Make a case.
Because its not official, and yet your headline implied that it was official. Had your headline said "Sources confirmed..." or "Sources say" then I would have no qualms with it whatsoever. Don't play dumb Renee, I've read your site enough, and listened to your podcasts enough to know you knew that was walking the edge. You felt really really good about your sources, no problem, and they are probably right, but still you've been around enough to know better. Don't justify it just because other sites would phrase it as though it was an official announcement to generate more hits, your better than that.
We phrased the title the same way everyone from the Wall Street Journal to other blogs phrased similar stories they break?
AT&T, and Verizon LTE, for example? "Verizon, AT&T To Sell 4G iPad"
I'm going to give you guys the benefit of the non-trolling doubt, but you're making it tough at this point.
I read on www.aussie4g.com that LTE is probably coming to the iPad3, and how that's going to benefit Android and other devices aswell - because Apple wouldn't release LTE until it's ready!
LTE seems a good chance
Quad-core seems a 50/50 bet
Retina display is the other one which seems pretty consistent
And can you change the site back to www.tipb.com now Renee? lol, I refuse to update my bookmarks to iMore!!!!
Judy I wish I could tell you! But frost dates are not organized by zip code. You lrealy need to go to the and follow the instructions. I just added a screencast to help walk you through the process.Depending on where you live, your frost dates may not be listed in my chart. I am working on a solution for those who have earlier frost dates.
Your source seems to have the correct date.
Jim Dalrymple has an impeccable track record when it comes to Apple Events. If Jim says an event is (or isn't) going to happen on a specific date, you can take that to the bank.
He linked to iMore's article, and confirmed it.http://www.loopinsight.com/2012/02/13/ipad-3-event-pegged-for-march-7/
Now about the juicy details. I'm very excited about a retina display and a faster processors. I'm torn about LTE. I'm not sure if LTE is even available where I live. Is LTE even available in any countries outside of the US? I'm not sure how much worldwide appeal that feature would have.
Lance Meadows Posted on I been telling myslef since last night I think I want to go for a jog this evening; its been a while . This post must be a sign that I really do need to throw on my running shoes also and hit the track (especially since I missed National Running Day) tonite. Thanks for the inspiration Leslie!
"He linked to iMore's article, and confirmed it."
He did no such thing. Posting the single word "Yup" is not confirmation, it's simply agreement.
iMore(TiPb) was right about the 4S of October 7th preorder. iMore was right about what the 4S was going to be called and what specs that we would be seeing. I am sure they will be right again about iPad 3. iMore doesn't just post any rumor. They tend to have confidence behind what they are posting.
It will be interesting to see how much of this transpires. If all (except 4g LTE) i will probably upgrade and iPhone 5 in October, Ripper, my contract finishes in September. Two in one year.
I think there is a good chance of quad-core happening. The 4G LTE I'm not sold on. Tim cook is a number logistics guy so he will look at this a certain stand point. Currently there is 3 iPad 2 variants. They all have the base 16, 32 , and 64gb models. Then you have wifi version, AT&T 3g, and Verizon 3g versions. Would they really add 4G LTE varients with the possibility of a HSPA+ model. Then you have to think about how Sprints 4G LTE will advance in the next 6-12 months. I think iPhone 5 had a good chance of 4G LTE especially when 4G LTE has gone main stream globally.
Boom! Now time to sell my iPad 2 and make way for the iPad 3!
Whar about SIRI. I would thing that is coming with iPad 3.
Given these quad-core, four-times-the pixels specs, there's no way they'll sell many iPad 2s for $399 if they have an entry iPad 3 with those specs for $499. It's twice the tablet for just 25% more. The year or more of added service life alone would justify paying that additional $100
If it remains around, this (probably) 16 Gb iPad 2 will need to be between $299 and $349. The former price would give Amazon much grief and wipe out most of the competition.
Extrapolating 2 years, maybe Apple could sell the low-end iPad 2 for $299 in 2013, the low-end iPad 3 for $399, and the iPad 4 for the usual $499. That would put the hurt on any and all low-ball competition.
Apple will win the "race to the bottom" while maintaining their margins, thanks to their economy of scale plus the general trend of component costs dropping.
Nice, brave scoop Rene!
Little typo in the first sentence. You say Apple 6 system-on-a-chip. It's Apple "A6". You're missing the "A". These kind of things must drive you nuts as iMore probably double checked this post thrice over and no one caught it!
Still amazing that nobody has said anything substantial about the GPU. The GPU will take more than half of the die space for this SoC, but nary a word about it other than "faster". Sounds like it is just an up-clocked 543MP2. Hoping it's 1 GB RAM and 128GB storage! (Really needs 2 GB RAM for apps suited to quad-core).
If the iPad 3 is sporting a quad-core SOC, then the GPU won't be based on the SGX 543MP2, it most likely will be the SGX 543MP4. Overall the details on the A6 SOC is sorta muddy right with some reports saying it'll be dual-core and others saying quad-core.
I agree with you on the RAM requirements, at least 1GB is needed.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Apple typically hold events on Tuesdays?
They used to. But the last year or two they've changed it to Wednesday for major product releases and Thursday for industry-events like the Education Event where they introduced iBooks Author.
You are wrong jakeless123. Like the article says major announcements are typically held on Wednesdays.
Definitely believe that which you atetsd. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
We initially heard Apple would be ready to go by end of February, but no firm date for an event. March 7 is the first firm date we heard.
If they're reserving a location to hold the event, like Yerba Buena, they might need to nail down the date earlier. If they're holding it at 1 Infinite Loop, they can probably be more flexible.
I would assume jobs had his hands all over the iPad3 and Apple TV. He also most likely has concepts and ideas that may take years to come to fruition.
His last iPad work was definitely the 3. All major tech companies have their future products planned well in advance. The iPhone 5 has already been drawn up. I'd say his last work was the iPad 3. Some say it was the iPhone 4s, but I have read his biography and he endured his hard times with cancer to launch past iPads. He vowed to officials from other companies that he would someday make a tablet, and the last version of it that he dreamed up was the 3.
Same source that said iPad 3 would launch in fall 2011?
My iPad 1 serves my needs quite nicely. I was looking forward to the iPad 3 until I heard the screen would be smaller than previous models. In which case if this is true, I have lost all interest in future iPads.
We just have to wait and see I don't think rumors are fair to the company or the consumer as with the Iphone4s, reports everywhere that consumers were disappointed, etc and it turned out to be the best selling smartphone Apple has had. I went out like an idoit and bought a back up battery case before my Iphone arrived because I read that it had battery problems. Wrong, I don't have any battery problems and don't bother with the case. Not saying this site posted this I'm saying I don't like or listen to rumors anymore.

A Thanksgiving Story About One of Those 47-Percenters
Tuesday I had to go over to Newark to visit a client to provide training for the new CMS (content management system) we installed for their website. The visit was uneventful. I wrapped things up and left, then called for a taxi and went outside to wait for it. The neighborhood isn't a terribly rough one (at least not by East Coast standards), but it's adjacent to a somewhat ghetto-ish one.
So I was sitting on one of those big tree planters futzing around with the camera on my new iPod and must've missed my cell phone slipping out of the side pocket of my purse. I got home, settled back down in front of my computer, and got back to work, never realizing that my phone was missing.
A couple of hours later my land line rang. I didn't even look at the Caller ID. The man on the other end said he had no idea who he was calling, but he'd found a cell phone over by [redacted] and since my number was in it he thought I might be able to tell him who it belonged to because he'd like to return it.
I told him that I most certainly did know who it belonged to—me!—then I told him how I thought I'd lost it. I thanked him for his honesty and told him that it was always heartening to to be reminded how many good people there still are in the world. That did it—all of a sudden he got all choked up, told me he was "just trying to please the Lord", and then began telling me his story.
