On August 28, nearly a month after I put it up, the following comment was posted:
"Dr Worthless: Pretty much every neurologist in my metropolitan area. I am sick and tired of managing issues that fall into the realm of neurology because of the laziness of your specialty. I really miss the days when a neurologist could actually make a diagnosis without an MRI."
Here is my rebuttal:
Dear Dr. Whoever You Are:
Thank you for kindly painting all neurologists with the same brush.
I'm sorry some in your area aren't up to your personal standards in work ethics. By a similar definition I know some "lazy" internists who seem to feel that I should be treating bladder infections, sinus problems, or foot ulcers simply on the grounds that the patients also have a neurological disorder, and therefore tell them to call me for their general medicine needs. So I suppose I could say I'm sick and tired of managing issues that fall into the realm of general medicine because of the laziness of your specialty.
But I won't do that. To make generalizations based on 1 or 2 people is what leads to idiotic stereotypes. I'm sorry you feel that way based on the few neurologists you've encountered. So stop referring to them and find others.
Please try to keep in mind that medicine is a team sport. When you view other doctors (or nurses, or whatever) as the opposition, the only person who really loses is the patient.
Diagnosing people without an MRI is fairly easy. I (and many other hard-working neurologists) do it every day. Bear in mind that many neurological conditions (migraines, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, Bell's palsy, and Alzheimer's disease, to name a few) are clinical diagnoses. This means they're based on what the doctor thinks after taking a history and doing an exam. The purpose of MRI's (which, I admit, are often overused) is usually to exclude other causes, rather than confirm the diagnosis.
MRI's, like all forms of technology, are like genies. You can't put them back in the bottle. If you don't like it, perhaps you should consider going back to the days when an internist could actually make a diagnosis without a CBC. Or CMP. Or stethoscope (after all, in 1840 the flexible binaural stethoscope was cutting edge). MRI's may be overused, but I find them to be more effective at excluding/confirming serious neurological disorders than sacrificing chickens over the patient and dancing naked under the moon.
I'm going to guess that you've never been sued (I have). Nowadays you can get legally reamed out for NOT ordering tests, regardless of any guidelines that say it's fine not to do them. You can tell me that I'm practicing defensive medicine, and guess what? I don't care. If doing everything I can to protect my family and my livelihood is being lazy, than so be it.
Ordering a test often has more to do with CYA than diagnostics in ANY branch of medicine. If you have some magic power that exempts you from legal action and allows you to make 100% accurate diagnoses without using that newfangled stuff, than you have my respect for being a better physician than little old me.
Yours truly,
Ibee Grumpy, M.D.

You can definitely let your hair down if you have bought a husky air compressor. I am aware of the cut throat competition that exists in the market and this is the one brand in which I have put my trust in. I am also glad to share with all of you that I am not the only one to do so. In fact there is a huge fan following of the brand so much that there will be no city in the world where you will not be able to find any happy customers. More than anything else I think it is the product quality that speaks for itself.
All the users have come back with positive reviews about the products and have in fact recommended it to all their acquaintances and the first time users. It thus becomes like a circle of gain and trust. More you gain from the product; more is your trust and vice-versa. I must say in comparison to other brands, it also has some of the coolest looking designs in its wide range. No wonder then that no customer leaves the store dissatisfied. When you can get all the things in one product; why go looking for different things?

Warriors stay close, fade late against Clippers
About 30 minutes after the Warriors' 111-98 loss to the Clippers on Wednesday night at the Staples Center, it felt as if the game was still going strong.
Even if the only battles that remained were of the jawing variety.
After another Pacific Division showdown between the teams was played with playoff intensity and filled with thunderous blows and counterpunches, the Warriors weren't quite done with the action.
"I wouldn't call it intensity. I would say we played as physically as they do, and theatrics take place after that," Warriors center Andrew Bogut said. "We get hit, they get hit and that's just the way the basketball game goes. There are a lot of things that go on in between that are different than a regular basketball game."
Warriors backup big man Jermaine O'Neal and Clippers center DeAndre Jordan were each whistled for technical fouls for jawing at their opponents during stoppages.
Clippers forward Blake Griffin was in the middle of a number of dustups - a shove of Bogut, a couple of tackles and tumbles with Draymond Green and a huge collision with Stephen Curry. Griffin even went toe-to-toe with O'Neal in the postgame hallway, but no blows were exchanged; the heated words ended with a handshake.
Warriors forward David Lee said it's no coincidence that Griffin was at the center of much of the extracurricular physicality.
"It's no coincidence is an understatement," Lee said. "I've got no other comment on that."
The Warriors weren't able to make a statement in the closing minutes either. The game included 21 lead changes and 12 ties, and the Warriors trailed 89-84 with 8:27 remaining.
The Warriors committed four of their 12 turnovers and allowed the Clippers to score eight of their 19 second-chance points in the final stretch to pull away.
"We played a pretty solid game all the way through, but we just ... didn't make the right plays down the stretch," Warriors point guard Stephen Curry said. "They crash the glass, they're quick jumpers and they rely on that. If we see them down the road, it's something we have to address."
The Warriors were led by 26 points from shooting guard Klay Thompson, whose remarkable streak of 214 consecutive games played will end Friday as he's flying to the Bahamas to attend the funeral of his paternal grandfather. Thompson, who also was the primary defender in limiting Chris Paul to 5-of-15 shooting, plans to rejoin the team Sunday at Portland.
Lee had 20 points, seven rebounds and four assists, and Andre Iguodala and Curry each added 13 points, but the Warriors' string of solid bench play ended. A night after scoring a season-high 59 points and outproducing the starters, the Warriors' bench had 20 points on 3-of-25 shooting.
The Warriors (41-25) had won five straight and 10 of 12 since the All-Star break, but they dropped to five games back of the Clippers (46-20), who have won nine in a row. Los Angeles got 20 points and 15 rebounds from Griffin, 18 points from Danny Granger and 16 points and 12 assists from Paul.
"I'm proud - proud of the way we fought, proud of the way guys handled themselves," Griffin said.
Curry knocked down his 200th three-pointer of the season - making him the sixth player in history to accomplish the feat in consecutive years.
He made his second three-pointer to cap an 8-3 run that gave the Warriors a 76-69 lead with 5:23 remaining in the third quarter. But the Clippers closed the quarter on a 15-3 run and took an 84-79 lead into the fourth quarter after a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Paul.

In a formality overshadowed by the death of his opponent the previous day, a final count of votes on Tuesday confirmed that Clay Aiken will be the Democratic nominee running against Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers for Congress.
The canvassing of votes – a tally of Election Day plus absentee and provisional ballots in nine counties – came the day after runner-up Keith Crisco died in a fall at his home in Asheboro. The cause of his death has not been determined yet, but more details emerged Tuesday.
Crisco, 71, was returning home from running errands shortly before 1 p.m. Monday and opened a door to go inside when his wife heard him call out, according to a police report. She told police she found him lying in the doorway.
An emergency medical services crew called to the home saw that he was not breathing, and they were unable to revive him. EMS notified police that Crisco was dead when they arrived, and an officer went to the house and took a report.

The state medical examiner's office has taken jurisdiction of the case. State law requires medical examiners be notified when it appears someone has died from an accident or violent injury.
The medical examiner determines whether an autopsy is warranted. That hasn't been decided yet in Crisco's case, said a spokeswoman with the state Department of Health and Human Services.
Deaths involving the elderly and that happen suddenly or without a well-documented illness are considered case by case, according to the state medical examiner guidelines.
A funeral for Crisco will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at the First United Methodist Church in Asheboro. The family will receive friends Thursday evening at Pugh Funeral Home.
Crisco's death made the vote canvassing seem irrelevant. But he had already decided to concede the race to Aiken and had been planning to do so Tuesday morning, his longtime friend and political strategist Brad Crone said.
And indeed when total votes were counted, Aiken gained 21 votes over Crisco, giving him a 390-vote victory. He received 40.86 percent of the vote.
The outcome wasn't a surprise, as there weren't enough outstanding ballots to knock Aiken out of first place.
State elections officials said the situation was highly unusual. The law is clear on what happens if a candidate dies between filing for office and the primary election, and it covers what happens if a candidate dies after the primary but before the general election.
But this narrow area where the deceased candidate was in between is something state law doesn't directly address. The law requires the runner-up to call for a recount if the vote difference is no more than 1 percent of the total vote or if total is under 40 percent, which would not have been possible in this case.
The State Board of Elections will certify the results of the election on May 22.
Aiken's staff said Tuesday that he would not have a comment on the election results because he has suspended all campaign activities in observance of Crisco's death.

Occasionally, we'll receive an e-mail into the tips line that makes us stop and think. Mailopnik lets us share some of the ones that don't, along with our response. First up: Cylon/Segway-lovers.
FROM: Danielle Maccione
TO: Tips
SUBJECT: Ray Wert
Can't believe you fell off the Segway…it's the easiest thing to ride. It's self-balancing, so I'm not quite sure how you managed that one. I would say after reading your article, you harbor a lot of ill will toward the Segway(an inanimate object, I might remind you). It's a brilliant cross of physics and engineering that, until you are able to produce a machine as comparable if not better, I would reserve comment/opinion if I were you. You sounded foolish. That's just my 2 cents worth.
Now, the Jalopnik response:
FROM: Jalopnik
TO: Danielle Maccione
SUBJECT: RE: Ray Wert
Actually, I'm not sure we'd pay more than one cent for your e-mail, because for starters you're not giving us any kind of sign-post for what you're writing us about. We write like 30 stories per day and over almost five years of publishing, we've got a lot of stories to weed through. So next time, give us a link or something more to go on than the name of our Editor-in-Chief as a subject line. Nonetheless, we'll assume you're talking about Wert's feature on the seven reasons the Segway still sucks due to your mentioning someone falling off a Segway and your unabashed fan-girl love of one of the silliest methods of transportation science and engineering has yet to invent.
Now that we've figured out how to read your mind, let's get down to the root issue you have with the story — you want to sleep with either Dean Kamen or a Segway and be the mother of either Dean's or, in a Cylon-like mecha-human cross-pollination, the Segway's, children. This blind love of Dean/Segway/Cylons obviously caused you to miss that this story was a humorous take on the subject. Therefore, you missed the joke.
We mean really, if it's so brilliant, how come GM wants to make one?
Thank you for your e-mail.

MN Capitol Sees Spike in Gun Notices
ST. PAUL (AP) - An ongoing debate over gun control by Minnesota state lawmakers has been accompanied by a spike in notifications to the state Department of Public Safety from people who plan to carry loaded weapons into the Capitol.
DPS says Friday that 150 people made that notification to the agency between Jan. 18 and Feb. 22. By contrast, only 56 people did so in all of 2012.
Hundreds of pro-gun activists have streamed into House and Senate hearings on gun control, and a few have openly worn guns. Anthony Triemert of Brooklyn Park says Friday at a Senate hearing that he wears his gun everywhere for personal safety, and saw no reason not to at the Capitol.
Senator Barb Goodwin of Columbia Heights, a gun control supporter, says she thinks guns are inappropriate at the Capitol but that being nervous hasn't made her temper her comments.

Posted on December 6, 2010
I kind of wish that we'd kept track, over the years, of all the different moving companies whose boxes we've received. I could do a little licensing: sell someone the rights to put "the most-used box by Newberry Book Fair donors" on the side. But I suppose some banana company would complain and there'd be all sorts of ruckus.
Anyway, this was a box from Mover One, a company with which I am not familiar. I have no idea what their status in the world of moving is, but I did notice they put a series of "Moving Tips" on the sides of their boxes. And the reason I noticed that was that this box happened to have "Moving Tip #28". This states:
"Pack books flat in small cartons, alternating bindings. Try to keep each box under 30 lbs."
It's so nice occasionally to find that someone else is fighting on the side of the angels. That "alternating bindings" is a bit confusing. Some people like to alternate the side that the spine of the book is on, or maybe it means alternating hardbound books with paperbound books. You DO, of course, want to make sure that books aren't going to force themselves into the middle of other books, so it's best to put them back to back. Maybe that's what they meant.
Doesn't matter: the main points are that "30 lbs." and that "small cartons". Two companies which sent us their libraries packed their magazine collections into yardlong boxes. Very efficient, I'm sure, but in the case of the Life magazine collection, I found out later on that each of these boxes weighed 150 pounds. Yeah, THEY had forklifts.
I do not give extra points, as I have stated before, to those of you who take a box that big and then fill it only one-third full, so it's easier to lift. I know: you can't always get a banana box when you need one. But remember: I have to stack these boxes up to get them into the space provided where I work. Full boxes can be stacked in nice, stable piles. Boxes one-third full tilt and take out innocent bystanders. (I don't know where we find all these innocent bystanders; I think the library keeps bystanders on standby.)
So it was a nice box, with its heartwarming moving tip. The donor gets one Booky Point for warming my heart and helping me write a blog. But that's all, because they didn't actually READ the moving tip. The box they sent was clearly labeled MEDIUM CARTON, with the recommendation that it be used for clothes and such. It was filled about one-fourth full, though, so it would be easy to lift.

I love our neighborhood. I've dedicated several posts to the subject - about how crucial I believe a strong neighborhood to be and about how I've always longed for living on a street with fabulous neighbors. Our street is just that. Last December we hosted a casual holiday gathering to meet everyone on our street. That party resulted in many so many fun friendships - a few different couples that we go to dinner with on a regular basis, a new golf buddy for Mike, a morning walking partner for me and the kind of neighbors that will check on Mr. Darcy (or visa versa...) if we're away for the day.
I also recently found out that one of my neighbors mothers is a famous designer... seriously. We walked down to their house one evening (with our own half-opened bottle of wine) so Emma could play with their boys, and I find myself having a drink with someone that is regularly mentioned in Elle Decor, House Beautiful, etc. She was fabulous - I was picking her brain for her favorite paint colors (Ben Moore, White, of course) and recommendations on everything I could think of.
The style of entertaining for neighborhood friends is the sort of entertaining I love. When you think of having the neighbors over, it is casual, unpretentious and relaxed. We often get together with our friends, Annie & George, for dinner. It tends to works better for us to have them over to our house because we after Emma mingles for a little bit and we have cocktails, then we can put her to bed and enjoy a leisurely adult dinner. Which for me means I can eat dinner with out someone sitting on my lap - or taking everyone's napkins off their laps and putting them back in the linen drawer... currently her favorite mealtime activity.
Obviously, I'm more than happy to host, but Annie & George always graciously like to contribute to the meal, since we're not always available to go to their house for dinner. The last time they came over George made his famous Peach Cobbler. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable. This weekend they brought a smoked chicken that he'd rubbed with a mesquite seasoning that was also soooo delicious. You can see why I'm happy to have them contribute to the meal! Here is our menu for the night - I'll be sharing the recipes later this week.
Menu :
Homemade Salted Soft Pretzels with Mustard & Cheese
Annie & George's Smoked Chicken
Heirloom Tomatoes with Homemade Ranch Dressing
Cauliflower Gratin with White Cheddar & Parmesan
Pesto & Peas Pasta Salad
George's Famous Peach (and Blueberry) Cobbler
So, they brought the chicken and I made sides and dessert. Dividing up the menu is such a fun (and easy) way to entertain because everyone gets to contribute and feel a part of it... instead of one person running around exhausting themselves. I used to shy away from letting guests bring anything, but after hosting my Barefoot Contessa Party in January (we all fixed something from her new cookbook), I learned how much more festive it can be - especially when you get together with the same crew on a regular basis. It gives everyone something to be excited about... and lets the hostess concentrate on fun details like the table setting - something that can get overlooked when you have a really long to-do list.
Since I opened my store (1 month ago!) my collection of taper candles has exploded, so I've been on the hunt for various candle holders. I'm in love with these glass ones that are perfect with our wine glasses. You'll never believe where I found them... target. Yes, for about $9 each. I love them. And I love that I have them paired with an expensive pitcher that has rustic, wild flowers spilling out of it... such a mix of high-low accents.
This photo represents the true color of "East Hampton Hedge" well. It is a natural, muted green that has a yellow tone.
About the East Hampton Hedge Color Collection :
I fell in love with the perfectly groomed hedges of East Hampton when we visited a couple of years ago. You can read about our trip and our sighting of the Barefoot Contessa (we were seated right next to her at dinner), here.
When I saw this candle color (the manufacturer calls it Spring Green), I thought East Hampton Hedge was a perfect name for it. I've matched an embroidery thread to it as well, so you can also get my hemstitch napkins embroidered to match (as pictured to the right). And... I can print custom labels to coordinate.
East Hampton Hedge Products:
-12" Taper Candles, $10.50
-Linen Hemstitch Napkins with Monogram, $38
-Cocktail Napkins with Monogram, $22
-Custom Labels, $12
I love using this green color with white flowers because it picks up the color of the green vines and foliage. They would be a good choice for any floral arrangement that features beautiful leaves or greenery... as they say, green is natures neutral.
I used hemstitch cocktail napkins for cocktails and appetizers. The color looks a little dark here - I took this shot it in the evening.
The food prep was so easy - most done in the food processor. I started by grating parmesan cheese in the mini prep, then made pesto.
I love this salad - the combination of the sweet peas, sharp pesto and the salty parmesan is soooo good. Thanks to the Barefoot Contessa.
Then, without even needing to clean the food processor, we made homemade ranch dressing. Emma was helping to squeeze the lemon.
Homemade ranch is so easy - sour cream, milk, lemon juice, garlic, chives, salt & pepper. Whirl.
The Cauliflower Gratin was the most labor intensive - but really, very simple. I steamed the cauliflower for a minute or two, then made a cheese sauce. Topped with panko and parmesan - just bake for 20 minutes before dinner.
I'm not sure where the inspiration for this came from, but I really wanted homemade pretzels. I used Rhodes frozen bread dough (the same that I use for my "homemade" cinnamon rolls) and made it into pretzels. They were so good! I need to perfect it a little bit before I post the recipe and final photos (they weren't sooo pretty), but stay tuned.
I served the tomatoes on a plate and the ranch dressing on the side for everyone to drizzle.
Pesto, Peas & Pasta Salad
Bubbly and cheesy cauliflower gratin.
And... George's Cobbler!

AJ Nordman threw a perfect game as a freshman. What the heck have I been doing with my life? Read on.
I know you're all wondering, so I'll put your inquisitive souls to rest: It's 267.
That's my personal best bowling game. In the wake of Oregon freshman AJ Nordman's gem, I thought I'd share my one and only bona fide story of sorrow to get across just how difficult it is to achieve perfection in bowling.
Those of you who don't blindly dismiss the bowling as a sport likely already know how tough it is, but I'm writing this blog entry, anyway.
My only true brush with the beast came on a bone-chilling Tuesday morning at Ashwaubenon Bowling Alley in – that's right, diehards – the technical home of your Green Bay Packers.
I'd just earned myself a ticket for my inability to follow the traffic laws of one of those innovative roundabout contraptions and, thus, was in a foul frame of mind heading into a morning with the Green Bay area's finest second- and third-shift keglers.
But a Bloody Mary and nine strikes later, let's just say my mood had improved. They weren't all pocket strikes. Heavens, no. There were even a couple of Brooklyns in the mix. I apologize for nothing.
Somehow, on my wobbly, gelatin knees, I managed to will the first ball of the 10th into the pocket. My luck had run out, as I watched a solid 10 not so much as wiggle.
To add insult to injury, my single-pin spare attempt came as close to knocking down Mr. 10 as possible without completing the feat. One would've thought the wind it generated in passing the pin would've been enough. If both the pin and ball were, say, on molecule wider, I would've had a shot at a consolation-prize 279.
While dozens of bowlers who'd flocked over to Lanes 9 and 10 offered their condolences, I stood and stared for a while, not necessarily in disappointment, but awe. Wes Anderson fans, think of the scene in "The Life Aquatic" in which Steve Zissou first encounters the tiger shark. Both of us knew we might never see our respective glorious beast again.
The big difference between me and Stevie Z is that his moment was one of introspection, knowing he was in the twilight of his career as a documentarian. I'm honestly not sure what the average bowler's prime is, but I'm certain I could still reach mine. Let's just say it's not tennis.
That brings us back to AJ. When I checked in with the Hawk boys during the preseason, his dad and coach, Al, said A.J. would be his biggest challenge, on account of his ADD. But what's been glaring for some time now – he's won two junior-high state titles – is that the kid has enormous talent.
Evidence to both AJ's biggest challenge, as well as the fickle nature of stone-rolling, is that, despite his perfecto, he won the NIBC individual title by a single pin.
He's going to need to be steadier to stay in his dad's lineup Saturday. The sectional meet is a grueling, a six-game marathon spanning upwards of 6 hours. But if AJ showed nothing else last Saturday, he let us know he's mentally tough enough to some pretty incredible things.
I can tell you, it takes some minerals to roll 12 stones, in consecutive, so well. The last three? They might as well be boulders.

Beyonce Hangs Out With Robert Pattinson + Sends Fans Into Frenzy [Pic, Video]
Beyonce did two things that sent two huge fanbases into major freakout mode. She sends her beloved Beyhive into a buzz whenever she does anything, but especially when she singles fans out to sing along at her shows -- and she sent Twihards into bloodsucking bliss in a new photo with none other than Edward Cullen himself, Robert Pattinson!
In the above video, the uploader described it as "Beyonce fan catching the Holy Ghost." And frankly, that's exactly what it looks like.
She grabbed a lucky Mrs. Carter Show attendee and had him sing along to 'Irreplaceable' with her (something she would have denied him had he had a camera phone in her face), and his reaction is absolutely priceless: He trembles, screams and actually collapses after she hugs him at the end. You may giggle, but remember, this is Queen Bey. Maintaining your composure won't be easy.
Perhaps causing even a bigger freakout, Beyonce and musician pals the Death Grips shot rumors of a rift with R-Pattz down in a big way. After stories circulated that King Bey denied Pattinson at a meet and greet at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Death Grips posted this photo of the vampire and the vamp backstage. Bow down, b----es!

Don't be surprised when you don't see a lot of collar-popping or smooth guys in globs of hair gel when Sussex Technical High School opens with "Grease" the musical at Possum Hall Thursday night.
Despite many people having seen the legendary film "Grease," a number of folks are still unaware the musical version isn't as animated as the film.
While the storyline is the same, the musical, from which the film was adapted, charms its way into the audience's heart by keeping the theatrics a bit simpler, with the goal of recreating a more realistic high school experience that teens and adults can still relate to, even though the show is set in the 1950s.
So don't be surprised when you don't see a lot of collar-popping or smooth guys in globs of hair gel when Sussex Technical High School opens with "Grease" the musical at Possum Hall Thursday night.
"It's a feel-good musical. When you watch it it's fun," said director Linda Killion, of Lewes. "You can relate to the characters. That's why I actually prefer the stage version to the film version because you relate to the characters more."
For instance, "the character of Sandy changes schools and she has to adapt to the new customs and with the way the kids at the new school do things," she said. "We've all had changes in our lives, especially with a lot of people when they're younger."
The lowdown
Similar to the film, "Grease" the musical introduces Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski who fall in love during summer vacation. Once summer ends, the lovebirds doubt they'll ever see each other again. As fate would have it, the pair find each other at Rydell High School. Dumbrowski is still smitten with Zuko, but he tries to play it cool in front of his friends like his heart isn't skipping beats for her. As time goes on, a role reversal occurs and Zuko finds himself chasing after Dumbrowski like a puppy.
Unlike the film, Sandy's last name in the musical is Dumbrowski and not Olsson. In addition, she's American in the musical, not Australian.
"They've adapted the film around Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, which they do with the stars," Killion explained. "[Newton-John is] Austrian, so apparently they made her from Australia. But in the original story she's not."
What's more, Killion said the iconic hotrod Grease Lightning was merely a shabby ride constructed from "junk parts," before Hollywood flipped the script. "They really jazzed it up in the film to be this slick vehicle, no pun intended."
Going out 'with a bang'
Playing in a classic musical like "Grease" is sweet in itself, but landing the lead roles has been more so for sophomore Cameron Malone (as Zuko) and senior Kara Bethke (as Dumbrowski) as neither of them have had the pleasure of playing leads in their theater careers until now.
"When I got the part, I ran up the hallway three times like a little kid on Christmas," smiled Malone, 16, of Delmar.
Malone's counterpart had a slightly different reaction when she learned of the good news.
"It's such an accomplishment to me," said Bethke, 18, of Millsboro. "When the cast list went up in school in February, I cried when I saw it. It makes me really happy that I can go out of my senior year with a bang. I've finally accomplished what I wanted to."

How much per month?
But what's the monthly rental? 50quid? 40quid?
O2 will cut £100 off the price of the Apple iPhone tomorrow, it has been claimed. Carphone Warehouse is said to be planning to match the move. There's no official confirmation yet, of course. The claim was made today by website Mobile Today. If O2 and CW do knock £100 off the price of the iPhone, taking the handset's price to …
I'm expected to shell out another £269 for a 3G iPhone and chuck my current 2.5G iPhone that I paid £269 for in the bin?
I can't resell it - it's locked to my contract. Little chance of a trade in scheme, 2.5G is so last summer..
On second thoughts, they might take a trade in to keep unlocked 2.5G's off the streets...
Er... £156 + 12 months line rental @ £35 month= £576 ;)
That's if you can get a 12 month on 'promo', otherwise:
£156 + 18 months line rental @ £35 month = £786
That's much cheaper than an I-Touch... Man you are I-Stupid!
So which 'Labour' run public school did you attend...?
Honestly, no wonder this country is fuxored with displays of intelligence like this...
It's a bit of both: sales targets not being met and, therefore, a lot of inventory to shift before his highness releases Mk. 2
You can bet that there have been some feverish negotiations with Cupertino about the handcuffs applies to sales: no massive subsidies to sell the toys and Apple getting a take of the revenue in exchange for the networks' exclusive rights to sell the bricks. Let's hope the dive in sales puts an end to Apple's attempt to control the market.
Oh, and fanboys - this is not a dig at the technology. I've got a Mac and I've always liked Nextstep. I've see the brick and had a play with it - excellent kit but not for me. Currently sticking with my E65 until the SE G700 and G900 arrive.
Still not worth it as an ipod replacement in my eyes because of the O2 contract price, still can't believe that there is anyone willing to pay for the handset plus a stupid amount each month. There's much better handsets and plans available and it would work out cheaper so you could still afford to buy a nice ipod with a decent amount of storage. Even with 100 quid off it is still overpriced tat in my eyes but I'm sure there will be people willing to take them up on the offer.
A colleague of mine just bought one at full price with no intention of registering it, just "unlock and go". After he got back from the shop I read this article.
The point of this note being, we had spent some time discussing the rather slippery "contract to buy" he had to sign and whether you had any chance of taking your iPhone back if you hadn't taken out the line rental contract with O2.
It appears not, even if the b*stards drop the price by £100 half a day after you buy it.
The only possible solution we came up with was to artificially get a bad credit rating, try to register the contract, get denied, print "Bad credit" note out and take the phone back.
So, anyone know how to get a bad credit rating in an afternoon BUT have it be obviously a mistake so you can get it cleared off a while later. (other than hacking the data feeds to experian...)
As the title says, it is official, just not public. O2 has let CPW know about the price cut and they've internally publicised it, or so I have been informed by sources. I would have emailed the Register with this (and a copy of the internal memo) but considering that every time I have done similar in the past my emails go ignored (leaving another news site to get a scoop) I didn't bother this time.
I'm anonymous because I don't really want anyone to know who I am, and you lot at the Reg should be able to tell who I am anyway.
It'll work as an iPod touch, i.e. through WiFi.
> And maybe it'll be worth cracking so it'll be easier to sell in June.
If it's cracked, it'll then work as a phone on PayAsYouGo. Much cheaper than O2's standard iPhone rates.
But since O2 increased the minutes in Feb, the O2 iPhone deal's about as good as you can get (I tried looking around on the Highstreet one bored Saturday and found that Vodaphone would match the O2 minutes but cap the data at 120Mb/mo for £37.50). Voda's a better network than O2's though.
I'm not certain this'll work, but you could pretend it was a gift for a teenage friend. Most kids have gotten a bad credit rating at one point or another - ask a kid to ask friends - you're bound to find someone fairly quickly. Throw in a bottle of cheap cider and you should have your dodgy credit report.
>Seeing as you can get an additional £100 cashback with a new contract through sites like Quidco
I know of far too many people who have been short changed by a lot of these cashback etc. type of dealer. Wouldnt go anywhere near em myself.
@Chad H
> just wondering what that better phone you mention is...
In my case, one which will run two essential apps properly, Memory Map and TomTom. But of course neither is available for the Jesus phone (or any other apps of worth come to think of it).
Anyway I thought the Iphoney's had run their course over this and were less defensive nowadays :)
Quidco isn't a mobile dealership offering cashback - they are a co-operative cashback scheme that passes referral commissions from online purchases onto its members. It's free to join and all they take in return for running the service is the first £5 you earn each year, so in this case it would basically be £95 for free for someone who hadn't used it before (or £100 for a member who has already earned over £5 of cashback this year) - all you need do is go to quidco.com to register and then click through their affiliate link to the O2 site before you buy.
Quidco is very good... another advocate here!
As for the cost of the tariff... i'd love to know where so many many people are getting such a great mobile tariff from a reputable place (by reputable i don't mean dial a phone advertising in the back of the Sun as i struggle to believe them...) i really don't think £35 a month is all that bad for what you get on the basic tariff... 600 minutes, 500 texts, unlimited data. I admit i'm somewhat out of the loop as i have a company phone, but based on what my other half pays £35 a month *really* doesn't seem all that bad to me.
Hey ho.... anyway, i'll watch this keenly, so long as v2.0 of the software gets hacked soon i'll have one in a flash, i'm not even that fussed about 3G if i'm honest.

I have been lurking for a while and gave birth to a beautiful baby
boy Sept 8th. Here's my story:
I started the home lessons in my 27th week. Previously I had used the other birth hypnosis method and had some success, so I tried this one this time hoping for more success.
I found with 2 other kids at home, a full time job and other
responsibilities, I was not able to do enough of the program. I did
learn a lot from the reading, but did not even realize there was a
workbook until too late! I listened to all the tracks and tried to
practice the finger drop technique as much as possible, but I am not
sure how well I was doing it. What I did do was spend a LOT of time
on the exercise ball. I did all my computer work on it and was
sitting and bouncing and rolling around on it until the birth.
Here's the story:
At 37 1/2 wks, my family and I went to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. That nite my husband and I were having a very intense "discussion" probably spurred on by my raging hormones which were pretty much in check until that point (the whole time I was on that ball, moving and stretching around). At about 1 am we decided we needed to rest and threw in the towel.
I went to go get for bed and my water broke. This was 1:30. My husband had just fallen asleep, so I got in to bed with my MP3 player to relax and listen to hypnobabies. I did not get a chance to do any hypnobabies because i kept looking at the clock with every pressure wave and saw that they were 2 minutes apart! This was 1:45 am. I had had some bloody show that week and more that day.
After trying a few times to relax and ride through them, I decided at
2 minutes apart I'd better get up, wake my husband, and figure out
who was going to come stay with my other kids so we could get to the
hospital ASAP. I had to concentrate on getting coverage for my kids
so I was not able to do hypnobabies. I was chewing on ice in the
kitchen, and on the phone trying to get someone to come. We finally
got someone at 2 am to come, got in the car after first riding
through a wave outside the car, leaning on my husband. I couldn't
really sit in the car as i was pretty much sitting on the baby's
head, so I leaned to the side and listened to the labor hypnobabies
track. I closed my eyes and was able to get into some sort of zone
but my husband was racing through NYC streets and I feared for my
When we got to the hospital my husband got me a wheelchair since I
felt if I stood up the baby would fall out. He frantically wheeled me
in. This must have been about 3:00 am. I had to push in the elevator. Then I had to push at Admitting with the nurses yelling at me to stop. Someone took the headphones off my head, threw me on a gurney and we were racing through the halls. They wanted to transfer me to a delivery bead and I just laughed and pushed the baby out on the gurney. I am lucky someone caught him! It helped that I yelled "I'M PUSHING AND IT'S COMING OUT NOW!!".
Gotta make yourself heard. My eyes were closed pretty much the whole time, except when I told the nurse to stop yelling at me and asked for a new nurse and begged her to be nice to me. And when they asked my social and dob.
Elisha Haim was born at 3:35 am, just 2 hours after my water broke
and I had any inkling that he was coming.
Not sure if Hypnobabies or the ball had anything to do with the fast
birth or if the "discussion" with my husband did the trick, but it
was very fast, relatively pain free, and aside from trying to keep
the baby in and wishing I was having a home birth, it was really very
That's my story!

So You Want to Have a Baby?
May 2001
How Is HIV Transmitted from Mother to Child?HIV can be transmitted during pregnancy, during delivery and through breast milk.
What Are the Risks?Let us first consider the risk. Nearly 60 percent of the women becoming pregnant today in some clinics already know of their HIV status and of that number nearly half are on antiretroviral therapy. Many of the women on therapy may require regimen adjustments during their pregnancy course. What are the risks? Without any antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy, during delivery or to the infant after delivery an infant may have a twenty percent chance of being infected with HIV. With the use of antiretroviral therapy, including AZT, with or without cesarean delivery, the risk can be decreased to one to seven percent. (See options for serodiscorant couples to learn more about risk to the HIV negative partner.)
Although a cesarean delivery can decrease the risk of transmission it could increase a woman's morbidity and mortality after delivery. Complications such as postpartum infections are five to seven times more likely to occur after cesarean section with labor or membrane rupture compared to vaginal delivery. Genital infections, obesity, malnutrition, smoking, low socioeconomic status and prolonged labor or membrane rupture all can increase the risk of complications after delivery.
Cesarean complication appears to be the same in women with and without HIV infection. Women with HIV should consider viral load, immune status and therapeutic care before becoming pregnant.
According to The Body website, "Risk to the infant can be further increased before and during delivery with the use of the following procedures: amniocentesis, fetal scalp monitoring, internal monitoring, PUBS (percutaneous umbilical blood sampling), urinary catheters, artificial rupturing of membranes, forceps and vacuum extractors." This does not rule out the use of these procedures, both the doctor and patients should discuss these procedures before delivery and decisions should be based on individual clinical factors.
It is not recommended for women to use monotherapy AZT. There are a few antiretrovirals that are not recommended for use during pregnancy. These medications include Kaletra and Norvir. Sustiva is not reccomended during pregnancy due to some results from preliminary studies. Viramune is not reccomended because it can cause severe, life threatening and, in some cases, fatal hepatoxicity (liver damage). This can occur suddenly and with great severity, usually accompanied by pain. Women with hepatitis or other liver damage are not recommended to take Viramune.
Options for HIV-Serodiscordant CouplesMany couples in which one is HIV positive and the other is HIV negative take the risk of having unprotected sex in the hopes of producing a HIV-negative child. The risk of perinatal transmission has gone down significantly over the last seven years. Making parenting a realistic possibility for couples today. The risk of infected the uninfected partner is still very much real. If the man is HIV positive and the woman is negative the couple takes the risk of infecting the woman and the unborn child with HIV.
To reduce this risk a couple has only a few options in the United States. One is to go to a sperm bank to get a donor sperm for the HIV negative woman. Although, this is a safe method, this is not the choice of many couples. Another option is adoption, but many couples find it very difficult to adopt a child when one partner is HIV positive. Also this option means that the child has neither parents genes. This brings us to our final option of intrauterine insemination after washing sperm free of HIV. This is a practice that is being used in Europe and to date, Enrico Semprini, a pioneer in this process, has performed 1,954 inseminations in 623 women, resulting in 272 pregnancies and 242 healthy children, giving a pregnancy rate per insemination of 14%. So far there have not been any reports of HIV transmission from HIV positive partner to HIV negative partner.
Since 1990 the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not recommended the insemination of women with semen from an HIV infected man. This recommendation came after a single report came out about a woman who was inseminated with her HIV-positive husband sperm and HIV was transmitted to the woman. In order to protect individuals from errors during sperm washing, most centers offer a sperm-washing service advocate PCR HIV (viral load) testing of an aliquot of washing sperm before insemination.

bwit needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 31 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
ExploitHub.com will be a web store allowing IT managers to purchase vulnerability testing applications to see if any of their networks or websites can be exploited by hacker exploits. The company producing this website is a security company with a very good standing in the U.S. corporate world, but this particular identity is brand new.
The target audience is IT managers and systems administrators and possibly web developers. It will be important to NOT look like a hacking site, and to convey a professional, corporate identity. But the target can also be pretty interesting characters themselves, and definitely are sophisticate web users, so the logo should not be boring, and should convey the sophistication of the people behind exploit hub as well.
The logo will be used on a white background. I don't have any ideas for icons or marks that might represent "exploits", but anything that would represent security testing, fortifying, immunizing, strengthening or preparing would probably do well. It could be that the best logo doesn't really have a significant mark at all - just like the website for rapid7.com, which is affiliated with the people developing this new website (they are not directly involved with it though). The logo doesn't need to include the "dot com" in it - it can be represented just as the two words Exploit Hub.
The logo should convey:
* professionalism
* sophistication
...and again, it should be on a white background.

Saucepan Sets
Sorry no products found. Please search again
Variety of Brands to Choose From
This is a selection of saucepan sets (listed above) that are excellent for induction cooking (a direct method of heat transference to the pot itself) as they are all designed for extreme heat and quick cooking. Induction cooking is one of the best ways of creating heat, so ensure that you have induction ready cookware and saucepans before you attempt to test your new induction stovetop. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your cookware, saucepan or frying pan then your cookware is indeed Induction ready. If not you will have to invest in new induction friendly cookware or forget about buying the induction hob top. Please peruse the range listed above. Each range will state what hob types they are suitable for. In in doubt please do not hesitate to contact us on 091539633.
All hail the masters, Le Creuset cookware. Their saucepans are equally as spectacular and the three-ply saucepan set by Le Creuset is a winner in every sense of the word. The three-ply in the name indicates that there are three levels of metal sandwiched between an aluminium core, this in turn spreads the heat evenly and effectively avoiding thermal hot spots and cooking food evenly. Induction cooking, gas or electric, it matters not - Le Creuset cast iron saucepans and Tri Ply cookware is comfortable on them all.
Two more masters in the fine craft of saucepans are Circulon and Stellar. Both Stellar saucepans and Circulon cooking pots have patented technology that spreads heat evenly throughout the base, keeping food warmer for far longer. These pots are also the leaders in oil-free cooking, requiring no oil (or at the least, very little oil) to cook a wide variety of foods. The brushed stainless steel coating also adds an extra level of class to your kitchen. Choose ShopCookware and select the saucepan set that best suits you.
Why Purchase a Set?
Purchasing a saucepan set gives you a head start, and easier than picking up a piece here and there and wishing you had that pot when you need it most. Better for you, saucepan sets are generally more discounted than purchasing each piece individually. Brands want to showcase their best possible cookware pieces to you and what better way than popping them into a cookware or saucepan set. Usually a selection of saucepan sizes, small, medium and large also incorporating a pan, stockpot or maybe even a steamer. Better yet you will be rest assured that all pieces will work well together and complement one another.

Phil Stott
June 04, 2013
When it comes to career advice, here at Vault we've always been of the belief that the best people to dispense it are those that have lived it. Thus: when we release our rankings of law, finance, accounting and consulting firms, all of the opinions in the firm profiles belong to verified, practicing employees of those firms—something that we spend a lot of time and energy to get.
In that spirit, earlier this year I decided to try out one of the tools that we've recommended here for career advancement—MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses. For those who are unfamiliar, MOOCs are courses commonly offered for free by a variety of sources (sometimes for-profit companies, sometimes universities, sometimes a collaboration between the two). Often serving as introductions to key concepts, some use the courses as an easy way to get a feel for a new subject area before deciding to make a full commitment to a program; other enjoy learning a broad range of subjects on their own time.
Focusing on skills
My own question coming into a MOOC program was whether one could, by itself, prepare someone to take a step forward in their career—is it possible that one semester-long course could lead to a change of direction, or give someone the edge they need to get ahead in a current role or in the hiring market?
For that reason, I focused on attempting to acquire a skill set that is both in ever-increasing demand in the wider economy, but also of specific interest to me in my career in the online world: computer programming.
As someone who is both old enough to remember the world before the internet and young enough to have the bulk of my career ahead of me (that's code for mid-30's, folks), having the ability to at least understand what programmers do seemed like a fairly solid goal at the outset. And who knows—if it turned out that I was any good at it, maybe I could envision a switch from providing the content that populates websites to being the guy who writes the code for them instead.
Choosing a course
My first step was to select an appropriate course. While there are a number of introductions to programming out there, and a variety of languages to choose from, I opted for the course on offer from EdX—MIT's Introduction to Computer Science and Programming. There were a number of reasons I chose that course: first, the course covers not only a language—Python—but uses it to introduce key computational concepts that are applicable across a variety of languages. Additionally, I will admit to being swayed not only by the prestige of the institution, but also by the certificate on offer to those of us who completed the course.
Getting started
One of the things I liked most about the course was that, while it was offered for free, at no point did it feel like any aspect of it had been neglected or put together as an afterthought. Video lectures were presented by full MIT professors, the school provided a textbook specially written for the course (it was available for purchase, but a free online copy was also made available to students), and there always seemed to be plenty of MIT grad students or adjuncts hanging around in the course's forums to help students who needed it.
What I had not expected from the course was the amount of time it took to complete. As someone who has plenty of time to kill on public transit every day, I had planned to take care of the bulk of the work during my ten hours spent commuting every week. As it turned out, that figure represented only around half of the amount I time I put in on a typical week. Indeed, with a variety of assignments to hand in each week, the course regularly kept me up well past my usual bedtime, and ate into a good chunk of my weekends on occasion too. However, that same pace of work ensured that my interest never flagged—there was too much to learn and figure out to get bored, while the student discussion forums proved an invaluable source of both solace and advice when the going got really tough.
What I learned
Looking back over the course, I'm amazed at how much I've learned about programming and computational thinking in just 15 weeks. In that time, I've gone from not knowing anything about programming—apologies to my high school IT teacher if you're reading this!—to feeling confident that I could use Python to tackle some fairly complex problems. As an example, while the opening weeks of the course had students writing programs that effectively mimicked things you can do quite easily in Excel—calculate compound interest rates and the like—by the later stages we were being asked to write code capable of modeling fluctuations in disease populations, while taking a number of different factors into account.
A new career?
For as much as I've learned on the course, there's no way that I'd be equipped at this point to do any kind of work as a developer or programmer. That's not to say that it would be true of everyone—the knowledge and ability displayed by some of my fellow students (and there were thousands of us, from all over the world) in the discussion forums clearly surpassed my own, and leads me to believe that many of them would indeed be equipped to take jobs straight out of the course.
But the knowledge I have taken from the course has already helped me to understand the solution to an issue that we had been dealing with here at Vault.* That alone has almost made the time and effort worthwhile, not to mention that I now have a new interest that—while I may never pursue it as a full career—at least leaves me better equipped for further study, and to better understand the environment in which I make my living.
In conclusion, while I can't speak for all the MOOC courses out there, I can whole-heartedly recommend this specific one for anyone who would like to know more about a skill that readwrite this week called "the core skill of the 21st century." As for those other courses—I'm currently eyeing up my options for courses that start after I've had a suitable (and well-earned) break!
* It came down to computational complexity—in MIT-speak, we reduced the 'Big O' complexity of an operation from O(2N) to O(N).

OCEAN REEF Group has two manufacturing plants of 6,000 and 40,000 sq/feet in San Diego, California (USA) and Genova (Italy). ME.ST.EL Safety Italy is an ISO 9001-2000 certified company and also a NATO classified supplier. The Production facility includes injection and compression presses, electronic components assembling, finished goods assembling and a testing dept. The R&D includes a sophisticated rubber/silicone compounds testing laboratory, an advanced computerized self contained breathing checking apparatus, a 32,000 liter pool with computerized ultrasonic underwater communication control system and video/audio closed circuit for demonstration and training, and two Pro E working stations for product engineering and mold design.
The Military and Respiratory PPE is known under the ME.ST.EL Safety brand.
In the late 1980's, ME.ST.EL decided to broaden its fields of production to not only include medical, diving, and military products but safety products as well. This change was due to a growing need for safety throughout the world. ME.ST.EL ambitiously decided to create a gas mask, based on new innovative concepts, that was very different in design than all the gas masks produced up to that point.
The new full face gas mask was named the SGE 1000. SGE 1000 did not use the cumbersome system of twin goggles with a rubber mask. Rather, the "SGE" mask used a transparent polycarbonate rigid full face visor shield with a comfortable rubber skirt (patented springing seal design) which covered the face and supported the other components of the gas mask.
After a few years, the Protection Division received international acclaim for the success of the SGE 1000. After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack at the World Trade Center in New York, ME.ST.EL realized the need to change its market strategy and it was compelled to assist in the need by providing safety solutions to prevent casualties and properly assist people in possible future situations that may be similar to the disaster on September 11, 2001. ME.ST.EL decided to create a new "Homeland Security Program Range of Products" and, soon after, a new working group started to operate.
This new branch would focus its efforts on developing and producing safety products, specifically breathing protection devices, which would be beneficial in Homeland Security situations.
The first ME.ST.EL gas mask, the SGE 1000, started a worldwide generation of "advanced" breathing protection devices. Currently, the SGE 1000 is out of production; however, most of the protection products that ME.ST.EL Safety currently produces are evolutions from the SGE 1000.

Snowmass Park Session Preview With Flanagan, McMorris, Braaten
Photos: Nick Hamilton
The first week of shooting for TransWorld's new Park Sessions series just wrapped. Snowmass, Colorado hosted the first of four shoots planned to bring pro riders to resort terrain parks for a few days of sessions. Instead of closed-off, exclusive shoots on jumps that only the pros can hit, the Park Sessions go down in regular public terrain parks. On stuff anyone can hit. Snowmass can hardly be called "regular" though, as they are known for offering a premium park experience; from jibs and rails, to pipe and booters, Snowmass was the perfect place to kick off the Park Session series. Canadian flip-phenom Mark McMorris was chosen to assemble the crew for the session. He brought along Gjermund Braaten, his brother Craig, and Tyler Flanagan. A few days unleashed in the Snowmass parks, being followed around by a photographer and two filmers, plus GoPros galore, and the boys threw down. Here is a Trailer from the Snowmass Park Session, Full Video coming Fall 2011.

Sentimental Sunday - Mom's Card
When in need, many loving women have assumed the role of adopted mother and filled those caverns and mountain tops, that only a mature woman can for a younger naive woman. One in particular stands out, "Momma Sweet" aka Margaret Townsend Allen. With words of encouragement, lots of laughter and by example she taught me about life's simplicity. Therefore, I was not punished by the loss of my Mom, but blessed with two mothers in my lifetime.

Click here to read/download TTU vs. EKU game notes
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- With their backs to the wall, the Tennessee Tech football team heads to Richmond, Ky., to take on the league-leading Eastern Kentucky Colonels Saturday at noon CT. The Golden Eagles (5-3/4-2 OVC) must claim a win at EKU to maintain any hope of winning the 2011 Ohio Valley Conference championship.
"There are two teams remaining who have their destiny in their own hands, Tennessee Tech and Eastern Kentucky," said fifth-year Golden Eagle coach Watson Brown. Wins by the Golden Eagles Saturday at EKU and the following week in the regular season finale against Austin Peay would give Tech the tie-breaker and an automatic visit to the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
It's an uphill battle for the Golden Eagles, who have seen the Colonels win four years in a row. Eastern Kentucky owns a commanding 50-17 advantage in the all-time series between the two.
To make matters even more difficult, injuries have forced the Golden Eagles to make adjustments to their lineup. Among the changes, starters Will Johnson (rover) and Demetrous Garrett (receiver) are doubtful.
Still, Tech heads into the game with plenty of weapons in all three phases of the game.
On offense, quarterback Tre Lamb is among league leaders in passing and total offense, while Tim Benford tops the conference in both receptions and receiving yards. In the backfield, Tech can employ a one-two combination of Dontey Gay and Adam Urbano. Gay tops the OVC in scoring and ranks among leaders in rushing, while Urbano -- finally healthy after missing six games -- rushed for 119 yards last week on only nine carries.
On defense, senior Jamere Hogue has developed into one of the team's most effective linemen in the past few weeks. Junior Howard Griffin paces a linebacking crew that also includes veterans Jake McIntosh and Justin Vann. In the secondary, Richmond Tooley, Caleb Mitchell and Corey Watson have been effective.
Special teams are led by punter Nick Campbell and placekicker Zack Sharp, and the coverage teams that have done an outstanding job of limiting opponents on punt and kickoff returns.
The game can be heard live on the Golden Eagle Sports Network, with Roger Ealey, Buddy Pearson and Brandon Goodwin making the calls.
Records in 2011:
Tennessee Tech is 5-3 overall / 4-2 Ohio Valley Conference
Eastern Kentucky 6-3 overall / 5-1 Ohio Valley Conference
Last Week: Tech lost to Murray State, 38-37; EKU beat Jax State, 52-48
Last Year: Eastern Kentucky won, 42-29
Series Record: EKU leads, 50-17
National Rankings: Tennessee Tech is 25th (Coach's); Eastern Kentucky is 25th (TSN)
