Wabash College Freshmen Bringing Back the Potsby Royce Gregerson '09 • September 14, 2006 Share:
After more than 30 years, the green and red pot has returned to prominence on the Wabash campus. Originally intended as a means for alumni to purchase a bit of memorabilia from the past, the pot has exploded into a phenomenon of renewed tradition. However, the pot now being worn by much of the freshman class were not originally intended as a method to bring back tradition.
"The renewed interest in pots began with Cal Black ['66] getting them for his 40th class reunion this year. They were a big hit. Other alums wanted them," Mike Bachner '70 said. Bachner is the manager of the Wabash Bookstore, which currently sells the pots. "Ross Dillard ['07] came to the store in August asking us to order pots for fall. He had worked with the manufacturer to make replicas of the original style. They had come to a price and minimum order quantity. We knew alums would buy them for reunions and ordered extras."
Before going to the bookstore or seeking a manufacturer, Dillard went to the Ramsey Archival Center to research the pot. Archivist Beth Swift was able to share a few examples of the pot. The current pot is made of a green felt-like material with a red bill and red button on top.
The quick re-institution of the pot to fraternity pledge classes evoked strong responses from many freshmen. "I love the idea of the pots, and the idea of bringing back an old tradition," Kevin Long '10 said. "I feel it just enriches our history."
John Dewart '10, a Sigma Chi pledge, echoed Long's sentiment. "I'm glad the Brothers [of Sigma Chi] brought back the pots because it helps to restore traditions lost to time," he said. Due to their fraternity's no hazing policy, the Lambda Chi Alpha associates themselves almost unanimously voted to wear the pot.
"We feel that such unique traditions at Wabash deserve to not only be preserved but flourish with each new student," Mark Schultz '10 said. "[They are] just one more way we like to promote a sense of pride and tradition here."
Not everyone is happy that more people are wearing the freshman pot. Two pledges of Phi Delta Theta, the one fraternity to continue requiring its pledges to wear the pot since the tradition lapsed, spoke out.
"I'm proud to wear my pot because unlike all the other freshmen on campus, I'm upholding a tradition," Joshua Coyle '10 said. "The pot is something that should be worn with pride and kept like a precious gift. I walk around campus and see people spinning them on their fingers."
Joshua Lopez '10 also critiqued other freshmen's misuse of the pot. "They disrespect them by leaving them around and losing them. If you wish to continue the tradition, respect it at least," he said.
In addition to the Phi Delts, the renewed tradition has a unique impact on the independent freshmen, who have no pledgeship program to force the pot on them.
"I won't consider getting a pot," Barry Ooi '10 said. Ooi cited the class scrap and the intense rivalry between the freshmen and sophomores. "Nothing like that will ever happen anymore, not in this day."
The re-formed Senior Council, itself a renewed tradition, weighed in on the pot issue. The Council decided to declare the pot the "symbol of the freshman class." Members of the Council also discussed making the pot mandatory for participation in Homecoming events, but eventually tabled the issue.
Wabash's archives have plenty of the history of the pot. It was first mentioned in the minutes of the Student Council (the early predecessor of the Senior Council) in its May 9, 1918 minutes. The Council created a committee to investigate possible designs for a potential uniform cap for freshmen. The Council's May 21, 1918 minutes note that the committee "recommended [a] green cap with red button and red-bordered bill." Then, the Council adopted the "green cap with scarlet button and scarlet visor" as the permanent freshman cap. In the same meeting, the Council resolved that all students would remove their hats as a salute to the flag when entering campus. The January 6, 1919 minutes show that the Council agreed to place an order with W.C. Murphy and Co. for the hats. The Council fixed the price of the cap at one dollar.
The Student Council established the Vigilance Committee on October 4, 1920, which was responsible for enforcing the various rules placed on freshmen. The Council later expanded the membership of this committee to include all seniors.
The pot seems to have enjoyed a healthy life until the turmoil of the late sixties and early seventies. In the fall of 1968 the Freshman Orientation Program, previously known as Freshman Indoctrination, became officially voluntary by pronouncement of the Student Senate. Admitting failure, the Senior Council had already dissolved itself in March of '68.
The previous fall (1967), a group of well-organized independent freshmen had succeeded in undermining the Council's program. Five students refused to participate in Freshman Sing (now Chapel Sing), effectively proving that the program only worked because freshmen voluntarily participated in it. The Bachelor concurred and ran an editorial claiming that the Council's Freshman Orientation program was, for all intents and purposes, optional.
In January of 1968, the editor of The Bachelor wrote an editorial bemoaning the passage of Wabash traditions. He placed much of the blame on the President of the College, Ron Clark, for failing to back the Council. Punishments (such as green tights) remained part of the code for the Fall of 1968, even though the Orientation became officially optional for the first time and the Student Senate eliminated the W haircut on September 13 of the same year.
The Orientation program for the fall of 1970, when the Student Senate re-wrote the former Senior Council's orientation plan, finally made all the provisions optional. The statement on the pot read: "Freshmen will be encouraged to secure and wear pots."
Unlike Freshman Sing, the transition to a pot-less freshman class was gradual. Alumni who attended school at the time note they just faded away, a contrast to the pot's sudden re-appearance on campus.
"We have sold out of our original order of 150 and have reordered," Bachner said about the bookstore's efforts to keep the pot in stock. "A reunion group has already ordered for this fall. I don't know if this is a passing notion for freshman or if the tradition has been renewed after nearly 40 years."

The kiss-and-make-up portion of the NHL lockout has begun in earnest, with commissioner Gary Bettman saying he's sorry the season was delayed by four months and will consist of only 48 games, with the playoffs stretching until nearly July.
"To the players who were very clear they wanted to be on the ice and not negotiating labor contracts, to our partners who support the league financially and personally, and most importantly to our fans, who love and have missed NHL hockey, I'm sorry," Bettman said in a prepared statement Wednesday afternoon after the league's board of governors ratified the new collective bargaining agreement. "I know that an explanation or an apology will not erase the hard feelings that have built up over the past few months, but I owe you an apology nevertheless."
Bettman went on to say: "This was a long and extremely difficult negotiation. One that took a lot longer than anybody wanted. I know it caused frustration, disappointment and even suffering to a lot of people who have supported the National Hockey League in many different ways."
He also said, "In the end neither side got everything it wanted and everyone lost in the short term. But the NHL gained a long-term agreement that's good for players and good for teams, and should guarantee the future success of NHL hockey for many years to come. It will help the game to grow, ensuring greater economic stability for all of our teams."
The players are expected to vote in favor of the new CBA, with ratification expected sometime on Saturday. Training camps are set to open Sunday, and the regular season will begin Jan. 19. For the Kings, it means they will raise their first Stanley Cup championship banner before an afternoon game at Staples Center. The Chicago Blackhawks reportedly will be the Kings' opening-day opponents.

Myths vs Facts
Captivity is better because elephants are vulnerable to poachers in the wild and will live longer in captivity.
Elephants in captivity are usually dead by age 40 while wild elephants can live over 70 years. Because the death rate far exceeds the birth rate of captive elephants, American Zoo Association (AZA) experts predict only five Asian zoo elephants will be alive in 2049. Other projections predict North America's captive population of elephants will drop to almost zero in the next 15 to 25 years. Consequently, the only way zoos can continue having elephants on display is to capture more of them from the wild.
Ringling Bros. circus makes numerous claims of conservation efforts and proudly boasts of elephants giving birth in their custody. However, with at least 27 deaths (including four babies) and only 23 births since 1992, the Ringling elephants are actually dying at a faster rate than they are being born. The elephants born at the Ringling Bros. facility will never be released into the wild, they are being breed to become performers. Additionally, of Ringling's approximately 60 elephants, more than 40 were captured in the wild. The circus has not successfully bred more elephants than it has removed from wild populations.
Instead of spending huge amounts of money to capture and confine elephants, funds should be directed toward conserving their native lands and eliminating poaching.
Zoos and circuses provide excellent educational opportunities for children. If elephants weren't on display, we would never learn about their behavior.
Zoos and circuses operate under the guise of education and conservation. In reality, research shows most visitors spend anywhere from eight seconds to three minutes at an individual exhibit, and less than 10% ever read placards or other information on display.
Most people who visit zoos and circuses expect to see animals behave as they would in the wild. However, captive elephants routinely exhibit abnormal behavior that includes incessant swaying and head bobbing -- both signs of severe stress.
In circuses, despite claims that routines are based on natural behavior, elephants do not stand on their heads, balance or sit on stools or other items, or walk on their hind legs. These behaviors are demeaning, unnatural, painful, and cause fear in an elephant.
A great deal more can be learned about elephants through humane alternatives. For example, in place of a captive elephant exhibit, LCA recommends for zoos to present an IMAX-type theater showcasing documentary style tage of elephants in the wild. Children and adults can watch actual behavior of these fascinating animals foraging, socializing, bathing and caring for their young in their natural habitat. In addition, a narrator can describe why and how specific behaviors are exhibited and provide additional facts and commentary.
The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee (www.elephants.com) offers two unique educational opportunities. Using the power of the Internet, students in the classroom can take a virtual "field trip" to the sanctuary. Images and sound are transported live, allowing students to view an elephant's daily life without intrusion. The Elephant Sanctuary also features a live webcam at www.elephants.com/elecam.

Use this page to discuss script 1397 xml: helps editing xml (and html, sgml, xslt) files
- Add constructive comments, bug reports, or discuss improvements (see the guideline).
- Do not document the script here (the author should do that on vim.org).
- This page may be out of date: check the script's vim.org page above, and its release notes.
No compatibleEdit
You have to keep your Vim in no-compatible mode for folding to work. --02:04, September 24, 2011
- I refactored the above to insert "no" because I assume no one uses Vim in compatible mode, so the original problem was due to Vim inadvertently being set for compatibility with vi. JohnBeckett 03:45, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
What do you mean by
Then create a ~/.vim/indent directory and for every link (copy) you made do?--Gqqnb 05:50, December 26, 2011 (UTC)echo "let b:did_indent = 1" > ~/.vim/indent/xml.vim
- I moved the above to here (it had been posted on the talk page, but this page is intended for discussion on using the script).
- The docs at the script page (link at top of page) are poor. My quick thought is that to install the plugin (which I have never seen), you are supposed to copy the supplied xml.vim file to
~/.vim/ftplugin/xml.vim(Unix) or
$HOME/vimfiles/ftplugin/xml.vim(Windows). It looks like the same file should be copied (or linked) so it appears in the same directory as docbk.vim, xsl.vim, html.vim, xhtml.vim (if you use those file types).
- If you use
filetype indent onyou also need (I think) to create a file in directory
~/.vim/indent(Unix) or
$HOME/vimfiles/indent(Windows) for each file type that will be used (xml.vim, docbk.vim, xsl.vim, html.vim, xhtml.vim). In each case, the file contains only the output from the
echocommand shown in the docs, namely the single line:
let b:did_indent = 1JohnBeckett 03:45, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
- For each file(xml.vim, docbk.vim, xsl.vim, html.vim, xhtml.vim) in
$HOME/vimfiles/indent, change their content to
let b:did_indent = 1. Am I right?--Gqqnb
- These files would not exist (by default); indeed, the
indentdirectory does not exist after a standard install, and it would have to be manually created. But yes, each file should be created and should have the same content, namely that single line (which would disable the standard ftplugin scripts distributed with Vim from affecting indentation). Note that I'm guessing as I have never tried to use script 1397. JohnBeckett 10:29, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
- These files would not exist (by default); indeed, the
- For each file(xml.vim, docbk.vim, xsl.vim, html.vim, xhtml.vim) in
github version is different from vim.org/scripts version! Edit
The version info in both is equally out of date (revision 1.37 date 2009-11-12), but https://raw.github.com/othree/xml.vim/master/ftplugin/xml.vim is bigger than http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=16076 -- Skierpage 05:31, February 10, 2012 (UTC)
Language improvements Edit
A plugin for editing xml. I used xml.vim (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=301)
This makes no sense. I think you mean "I started from xmledit.vim (htt...) and made improvements"
The documentation will be created once the script is loaded e.g edit a xml file.
Read the help documentation by typing from within vim :help xml-plugin
Confusing passive voice, better:
- The script creates its help documentation when it is first loaded, for example the first time you edit an xml file.
You can then read the help documentation in vim by entering
:help xml-plugin
xml-plugin.txt improvementsEdit
formated documents
"formatted documents"
'%' will jump between '<' and '>'
This didn't work for me and made me think the script was broken. e.g.
- Pressing '\' then '%' will jump between '<' and '>' ('\' is the default character for your <LocalLeader> character)
To activte the script place 'filetype plugin on'
Typo and better
- To activate the script add 'filetype plugin on'
If the file edited is of type "html" and "xml_use_html" is defined then the following tags
Avoid passive voice, better
- If you edit an HTML file (filetype=html in vim) and "xml_use_html" is defined (see xml_plugin_settings), then the following tags
Mapings and their functions
Typo, "Mappings"
[[ Goto to the next open tag
That should be
]], and use proper English "Go to" in all these lines.
Once I figured out <LocalLeader>, this is a great plug-in! -- Skierpage 04:36, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hi All,
I'm writing a small piece about the tifosi and I realised half way through that I was making a lot of assumptions and generalisations so thought it would be a good idea to actually go to the source and see what actual members of the tifosi consider the definition to be. If people wouldn't mind, could you put into one sentence what you think makes a tifoso/a different to any other fan? (Also, if you could specify what country you're from that would be super but not at all necessary!)
Thanks for any help you can offer!

CECLOR FOR SALE, EVANSTON, Ill. Where can i order CECLOR without prescription, — It wasn't like it was a surprise.

About CECLOR, When it came time to actually go against it, though, CECLOR steet value, Australia, uk, us, usa, the Hawkeyes at times looked like they had no clue.

"I think we were holding the ball too much, CECLOR street price, CECLOR gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, " senior guard Bryce Cartwright said. "We have to find gaps against it, discount CECLOR, Where can i buy cheapest CECLOR online, and we didn't do it."
"Just too much standing," senior guard Matt Gatens said, CECLOR recreational. CECLOR without a prescription, "We got a lot of good looks. We just weren't attacking it."
Iowa tried cutting through the zone, doses CECLOR work, CECLOR results, and passing over it. CECLOR FOR SALE, The result was an 18-turnover night.
"Playing a zone, buy CECLOR online cod, CECLOR from mexico, you can't have 18 turnovers," Gatens said, order CECLOR online overnight delivery no prescription. CECLOR from canadian pharmacy, "They really run that 1-3-1 well," said freshman forward Aaron White, effects of CECLOR. CECLOR use, "I don't think we were surprised. We just couldn't do anything against it."
That kind of zone is vulnerable to baseline drives, CECLOR overnight, Is CECLOR addictive, but the Hawkeyes couldn't get much generated from there.
"We didn't get anything near the basket," McCaffery said, CECLOR FOR SALE.
Northwestern coach Bill Carmody said his team used some man-to-man defense in the first half, purchase CECLOR online no prescription, CECLOR without prescription, but in the end he chose to stay with the 1-3-1 in the second half.
"It's what we do, my CECLOR experience, CECLOR pictures, " Carmody said. "We just said, CECLOR coupon, Where to buy CECLOR, let's see how it goes."
Every year, CECLOR brand name, it seems, Northwestern is talked about as an NCAA tournament team — the Wildcats have never been, so it would be a good story. CECLOR FOR SALE, And every year, they fade and don't make it.
So don't bring up to Carmody any March madness talk yet. The Wildcats are 15-8 overall, 5-6 in the Big Ten, but the coach doesn't want to hear any predictions.
"We shouldn't even be in the talk until we get close (to the end of the season)," he said.
The grades:
Hawkeyes shot 51.1 percent in the field, 60 percent in the second half. .., CECLOR FOR SALE. 18 turnovers were too many. ... Too passive against the zone.
Another night where a team gets double-digits in 3-pointers. Hawkeyes were always a step late, or lost.
Hawkeyes held a 29-21 edge, but that's understandable considering the Wildcats were making so many shots.
White, Gatens and Melsahn Basabe came to play, but others seemed to be lost. Cartwright struggled, as did Zach McCabe (0 points, 1 rebound).

Two White County residents are being held on felony charges at the Jackson County Sheriff's Office following two separate incidents that resulted in a Jackson County citizen being stabbed and property damage.
According to Sheriff David Lucas, the arrest was made Monday morning at a residence on Jackson County Road # 6 by Lt. Stacey Sullivan, who was assisted by Deputies Colton Thornton and Justin Staggs.
Officers first responded to the home of Melvin Allgood, age 40, Sunday night around 9:30 p.m. after they received a call that Allgood had sustained non-life threatening injuries to his arm. Allgood was transported by North Star EMS to White County Medical Center where he was treated.
The suspects, identified as Thomas Jones, 51, and Michael Doerhoff, 50, were arrested three hours later at a residence on Jackson Co. Road # 6 after they drove through the homeowner's pasture and attempted to drive into the house.
Lt. Shannon Webb charged Michael Doerhoff with Aggravated Assault, Battery 1st, Criminal Mischief and Criminal Trespassing. Thomas Jones was charged with Aggravated Assault, Criminal Mischief and Criminal Trespassing. They will appear before Judge Barbara A. Griffin for first judicial hearing later today.

COSTA MESA – In the midst of carnival rides and bustling food stands at the OC Fair, the Main Mall hosts a variety of product booths with all kinds of innovative merchandise, oftentimes at discounted prices.
As I walked through the rows of salespeople pitching their products, I found a few items that fellow teenagers might not mind being seen with:
Jose Eber Salon Heat Styling Tools and Hair Chalk
The nontoxic, vegetable oil-based chalks come in a pack of 12 colors for $20. Because these are applied while the hair is wet, the powder doesn't transfer to clothing, making them perfect to use when going to sporting events, dances or the mall.
If flamboyant hues aren't your style, the ceramic and tourmaline curling and straightening irons can bring flair to your mane without damaging it the way metal heat styling tools do. The basic irons start at $80, while other styling tools come in sets of three for $250.
Infinity Lights
Although these customizable lampshades come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, all of them are created using multiple interlocking pieces of plastic, much like 3D tessellations.
A small pack consisting of 30 interlocking pieces and a cord costs $25 and can instantly create ambiance in your room or dorm room.
UGO Portable Speakers
The steel-based UGO Bluetooth wireless speakers deliver amazing bass tones and volume without the hassle of tangled wires. These speakers were clearly made with portability in mind: They fit easily into a car cup holder, have micro SD slots and have skid-resistant bottoms. The discounted price for the Bluetooth wireless speakers is $99, and they come with a lifetime warranty.
Improv Comedy Club and Restaurant
The Improv Comedy Club and Restaurant booth offers tickets for comedy shows, costing between $15 and $25. Future guests include YouTube comedian Miranda Sings, actor Dave Coulier and Bryan Callen from "The Bryan Callen Show." There are locations in Brea and Irvine. As some showings are for adults 18 and older, teens can give tickets as a gift for older friends or family members.
Laseoul Solar Chargers
The Laseoul solar charger is a small, rectangular block covered with solar panels. It comes with extension cords to connect to devices like cellphones, tablets and MP3 players. When completely charged, it can replenish the energy for up to three devices before needing to be recharged. This solar charger can be purchased at the fair for $70, compared to an online price of $110.
Christine Kim will be a senior this fall at Oxford Academy in Cypress.

Interview with RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel
EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -
BORIS: We are here with Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel of the Republican National Committee. Thank you so much for joining us.
RONNA MCDANIEL: Thanks for having me. It's great to see you, Boris.
BORIS: It's great to see you, too. So let's dive right in, the big news this week has been the special election in Alabama. The primary, you had Roy Moore, Judge Moore, defeat the incumbent Luther Strange by about 10 points. What do you see as the impact on that moving forward with the general in Alabama and in 2018 in the midterms?
RONNA MCDANIEL: We're going to keep that seat. The RNC is going to work with the Moore campaign. We want him to be the next senator from Alabama and we have this. You have primaries where ideas are put forward, you have different candidates, and its passionate and they come out and then in the end, our purpose unites us. And as Republicans we know what we need to get done. We know that we need to support President Trump and his agenda, and that's only going to be done if we have a Republican senator from Alabama.
BORIS: Do you think this result should worry some of the incumbents who may have a primary challenger in 2018?
RONNA MCDANIEL: I think, as an incumbent you should always be ready for a challenger. I think that's something that's part of the makeup of any campaign you got to be ready for that. It charges you too, for the general, too. It's always good to go out and campaign and earn your keep and share your ideas with your voters. We're ready to expand our majority in the Senate we've got the best map that we've had in 70 years, and there's lots of opportunities to pick up seats and bring some more Republican senators to Washington.
BORIS: On 2018, the midterms, they seem like they're far away but really just around the corner i'm sure you're focused on them. Without giving away the playbook, what are you doing to prepare for the midterms?
RONNA MCDANIEL: So we're always thinking about the midterms, obviously we want to give President Trump a bigger majority in the Senate. We want to maintain that majority in the House which historically is hard to do in the midterms when you rule the white House. From an RNC perspective, we're raising record money, we're already investing it in those battleground states with our data and our ground game, and at the end of the day, it's who turns out their voters and that's what we're focusing on.
BORIS: You mention history. 1982, 2 years after Ronald Reagan, Democrats gained 27 seats, in 1994 2 years after Bill Clinton was elected, Republicans gained 53 seats. Ronald Reagan it was the economy, for Clinton it was the failure on what do you think the impact of what's going on in Congress will be on the midterms?
RONNA MCDANIEL: I think we have to have some accomplishments to run on. The president is doing great. obviously he's delivered on deregulation, on our national security, on better trade deals on energy policy. Everything the president's done are things that he ran on but Congress has to have some wins because they're the ones up in 2018 and our voters are going to hold us accountable. So tax reform is key. We always want to keep pushing repeal and replace. At the end of the day though we're going to put the best candidates forward, we're going to have the best message, and we're going to have best ground game and get out the vote.
BORIS: Let's talk specifically about healthcare and tax reform. We saw this week another attempt at health care reform. Tax reform, the president is rolling out his plan this week. What do you see as the biggest keys to victory in 2018, but also some of the other elections, the VA gubernatorial coming up this year, some of the other elections coming up between now and then as well.
RONNA MCDANIEL: I think tax reform's key. I think there's been 4 legs to the stool of economic recovery because we saw such anemic recovery under President Obama. One is deregulation the president has already delivered on that, energy independence, keystone and the Dakota pipelines, you've seen better trade deals, we're already renegotiating NAFTA and 4th is tax reform. Cutting taxes for the middle class, making our corporate tax rates competitive and kickstarting our economy so that we are actually seeing growth that this country needs to bring jobs and raise wages.
BORIS: What worries you the most going into the rest of this year and going into the midterms in 2018?
RONNA MCDANIEL: You know, I'm not worried. I'm very optimistic. President Trump has brought a change to Washington and you are seeing consumer confidence up. You are seeing unemployment down. A million new jobs. Things are heading on the right path. I want to make sure we give him majorities to work with for the final two years of his first term to make sure he can accomplish all the things that he ran on.
BORIS: Let's talk about the Senate specifically. There are some out there who are saying, well, Republicans could be in danger of losing the House and losing the Senate. We talked a bit about the House and they keys to 2018. What are the keys for the Senate? What races are you looking at specifically?
RONNA MCDANIEL: So there are ten states that President Trump won where you have Democrat incumbent Senators. There are real opportunities to pick up seats in those states - Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Montana. There is a slew of states, my home state of Michigan. We've got to put a ground game in place. We've got to recruit good candidates and we have to turn out our vote. I think we can expand that map and then we are going to have some challenges in Arizona and Nevada so we need to hold those seats. I think the Senate map looks very favorable to expand our majority.
BORIS: And as we saw on healthcare, it's necessary to expand to get beyond the really razor thin margins that we're seeing, right?
RONNA MCDANIEL: You know, I hear. I understand the voters are frustrated. They are saying we sent you to Washington. You have the majorities. Get it done. And I say, stick with us. Do not walk away. We need a bigger majority to get things done. Fifty-two is just not a big enough margin. You're always going to have two or three that are going to step away, that aren;t going to be in lock step. We need a bigger majority. The most we've ever had is fifty-five. This is an opportunity to really get the best majority of Republicans have ever had and make meaningful changes that will make people's lives better.
BORIS: Let's talk a little about your job. You're the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee but right now the president is the head of the party, right? Because
RONNA MCDANIEL: Correct
BORIS: We have a Republican president. What is that interplay like? What is that relationship like between you and the president?
RONNA MCDANIEL: Well, I was so honored to win Michigan for President Trump for the first time since 1988 and because of the relationship we developed during that campaign he gave me the privilege of running the RNC or asking me to run the RNC and we work so well together. Our teams at the White House and our teams at the RNC were in lock step supporting our president who is the head of the Republican party.
BORIS: Thank you so much. Thanks for joining us.
RONNA MCDANIEL: Thanks for having me.

So how to choose? Leave it to the jet-setting readers of Travel + Leisure who highlight their favorite resorts in the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Bahamas as part of the annual World's Best Awards survey. In 2012, the 20 best resorts are spread across 10 islands, from Bermuda to the British Virgin Islands, and from romantic all-inclusive sanctuaries to private rainforest verandas. There's a top-notch Caribbean resort out there, whatever your idea of paradise.
Ever-popular Jamaica, for instance, claims the most properties (for the second year in a row) with four winners, including secluded Couples San Souci (No. 5) in Ocho Rios. The 150 colonial-decorated suites come with wicker furniture, Gilchrist & Soames bath products, and latticework balconies for taking in ocean views.
Related: World's Most Romantic All-Inclusive Resorts
Further south, St. Lucia is beloved for its black-sand beaches, dramatic jungle-covered peaks, and, according to readers, three top-ranked properties, including Jade Mountain (No. 4), with its private infinity pools and panoramic views of the Pitons, and its 47-room, art-focused sister property, Anse Chastanet Resort (No. 19), tucked among coconut groves.
Though many of the top-ranked winners have appeared on the list year after year, one hotel made a big debut: W Retreat & Spa (No. 16) on Puerto Rico's offshore island Vieques. Set among low-key fishing villages, the stylish W Retreat added a dose of luxe island flair to a destination that's on the verge of becoming a popular hot spot (Vieques was the No. 1–ranked island in the Caribbean this year too).
But there's one resort that has truly won travelers' loyalty: this year's No. 1 winner, The Reefs, Bermuda. It's the type of property that travelers return to again and again, thanks to perks like the private rose-sand cove and world-class spa. And here's proof of its staying power: the cliff-side hotel has been on the list for the past 10 years in a row—it's the only hotel that earned T+L's Hall of Fame honor.
Ready to plan your own warm weather getaway? Read on for the top 20 winning resorts in the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Bahamas.

The AAFP is recognizing a Supreme Court decision upholding all provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, saying in a prepared statement that "as a result of this decision, more Americans will have access to meaningful insurance coverage and to the primary care physicians who are key to high-quality, affordable health services."
"Broad, individual responsibility for health care is the foundation for successful implementation of the Affordable Care Act's patient protections," said AAFP President Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I., of Spokane, Wash. "Economic realities dictate that ensuring coverage for all Americans depends on participation of all Americans."
Stream cited a 2001 Institute of Medicine report that says virtually all Americans, regardless of their health status, use health care services. "Without broad participation in a health care coverage system, health care for all cannot be obtained, let alone sustained," said Stream. "The Affordable Care Act reduces numerous financial barriers to care by requiring coverage despite pre-existing conditions, eliminating annual and lifetime limits on benefits, and eliminating cost sharing for preventive services."
- The AAFP is praising a Supreme Court decision upholding all provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
- In a prepared statement, AAFP President Glen Stream, M.D., M.B. I., said that "as a result of this decision, more Americans will have access to meaningful insurance coverage and to the primary care physicians who are key to high-quality health services."
- Stream cited various provisions in the Affordable Care Act that will strengthen the nation's primary care and family physician workforce and infrastructure.
In addition, the Supreme Court decision "maintains already launched initiatives that support wider implementation of the patient-centered medical home and that value primary medical care through payment incentives for primary care physicians," Stream said.
Stream cited the Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative and Medicare's Primary Care Incentive Payment program as examples of programs that will foster a financial environment that can help build the primary care physician workforce and ensure all Americans have access to a patient-centered medical home.
The Affordable Care Act also has other provisions to strengthen the primary care workforce and infrastructure. These include investments in the Health Care Workforce Commission and funding increases for programs, such as grants for family medicine, teaching health centers, and maintenance of scholarships and loan repayment programs in the National Health Service Corps.
"By upholding the Affordable Care Act, the Supreme Court has ensured that all Americans have access to affordable, sustainable health care coverage and that they receive high-quality, coordinated and efficient care," said Stream. "It is a future that family physicians happily anticipate."
Although the Affordable Care Act provides a foundation for reforming the nation's health care system, much work still lies ahead, including a permanent replacement for the sustainable growth rate formula and meaningful medical liability reform, Stream added.

Brazilian83 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 26 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
The site will provide Twitter user management services.
Anyone looking to get more Twitter followers.
We just need the homepage designed. We are looking for something with style. Here are the elements that need to be included:
1. Logo saying "twitfever" on the left of the header (big, using the Twitter font, blue color on "twit", and get creative on "fever").
2. A "Members Login" button on the right side of the header
3. A main section area with a white background
4. Three levels of headlines (h1, h2 and h3)
5. Some samples of text between the headlines
6. A styled bullet point list
7. A section floating on the top right of the main content area saying "Subscribe to our newsletter and get free access to our Twitter course." It should also contain a picture of an ebook and the subscription form.
8. A section with testimonials
9. A section with money back guarantee
10. A button saying "Try It Free for 7 Days!"
We have a draft to give you an idea of those elements. You can see it here: http://copytrust.com/Draft1.png
However, that draft is a too bland. We are looking for something more live and aggressive. Here are examples of sites I think have that style:
One idea would be to include a twit bird with an evil grin.

Balanced Life Meditation
We are in the process of recording our first products (guided meditation CDs/MP3s for specific purposes) and hope to be able to have our first sales within the next couple of months.
Our website is http://balancedlifemeditation.com/ and is in the process of redesign. Please feel to check it out to see where we were. Also look at all of the websites associated with http://daily.finerminds.com/ (scroll down a bit and look at the "Part of The MindValley Network" box in the right sidebar) to see where we are going. We especially like the Silva Method site, Philosopher's Notes and the American Monk websites and designs.
The demographic research that I've done shows that our market is middle aged Americans aged 35-49 but we want to reach everyone with our message, young and old.
Our target audience is basically anyone who is looking for more peace, balance or tools to live a better life. Our dream is to break free from the mysticism of meditation and offer a mainstream alternative solution to the maladies that face people today. We want everyone to feel comfortable with our "meditation" products and see them as a viable tool that they can use everyday.
Our dream is to bring the practice of meditation to the mainstream and to remove the connotations of mysticism from it. We would like to be the meditation program that every person, despite their previous doubts or beliefs, would be willing to try and use to help them in their lives.
We want a logo that is our name "Balanced Life Meditation" to be designed with a recognizable mark that supports every aspect of our name.
Something that is memorable, unique and easy to recognize again and again.
This design will be challenging because we want to stand out from the crowd of meditation products, websites and companies. We have a big dream and want our logo to represent it.
Are you up for the challenge?
Let me know and I look forward to seeing your designs and working with you.

I never saw this one before. First time I have seen Brian singing without the guitar, then at the end he
picks up a vintage Gibson or Les Paul.
RIP Chuck Berry
Quoted from brianmay.com :
"An influence on Brian - he can be seen performing 'Johnny B. Goode' below. The same track appeared on Brian's recent compilation "Air Guitar Anthems" released 18 Nov 2016.
The duo, Brian May and Dave Dilloway collectively known as "1984" played Chuck Berry songs in their early gigs -1966: 'Too Much Monkey Business' and 'Our Little Rendezvous'. Later, Brian joined REO Speedwagon with 'Johnny B. Goode' 29/05/1985 at Hammersmith Odeon, London, and also performed same as guest with Jerry Lee Lewis, Hammersmith Odeon, 21/11/1989 (see below). "
I did not know about Brian May teaming up with REO Speedwagon in 1985 and doing a live cover. Any existing audio or footage from this concert?
Checked with queenconcerts.com, and there is no known footage. Can't believe no one took a single photo of Brian on stage with Reo Speedwagon, which was huge back in the 80s.

Ubisoft IP director Adrian Lacy makes the coordination, concentration, and carnage of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's 'Valiant Hammer' online cooperative campaign mission seem so natural in his narration of this walkthrough video that you almost forget it's a group of people that know the game inside-and-out are playing.
I'm hip to picking up Future Soldier when it hits this May, but I hold no misconception that my online play will look anything like this.
It'll probably go a little more like this.

Does anyone else think it is inappropriate for a United States Government agency to use labor abusing businesses as sites for their biometrics information collection? The USCIS will be collecting biometric information on Rota and Tinian at businesses known for cheating foreign workers. I think it is entirely inappropriate that the sites the USCIS selected as bases for their mobile teams are businesses where foreign employees have routinely been victims of labor abuses.
The Rota Resort and Country Club routinely made their foreign employees pay for their own physicals and permits if they sought renewal under the CNMI labor system. Employees reported being told that if they didn't pay for their own permits and physicals they "would not be renewed". Hundreds were cheated by this employer.
The Tinian Dynasty Hotel and Casino is a well-known labor abuser of foreign employees. The company has stolen hundreds of thousands in wages from the employees over the years.
How were these locations selected? Maybe the federal agency does not know about the Rota Hotel and Country Club, but DHS and USCIS should be well aware of the abuses at the Tinian Dynasty Hotel.
Here is the press release
Beginning next month, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will be collecting biometrics information on the islands of Rota and Tinian, from people who are seeking an immigration benefit. A USCIS mobile team will process biometrics in Rota from April 2-12; and in Tinian from April 16-May 7.
When USCIS collects a person's photograph, signature, or fingerprints, this is called biometrics collection. The type of biometrics USCIS collects is decided on a case by case basis.
Individuals on Rota and Tinian will be receiving appointment notices in the coming weeks indicating when and where they must go for their biometrics appointment. Individuals must have an appointment notice in order for USCIS to process their biometric information.
USCIS is the agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that handles immigration benefits. More information can be found at www.uscis.gov/cnmi or by calling (800) 375- 5283.
USCIS Biometrics Collection on Rota and Tinian
Rota – Monday, April 2 to Friday, April 6
Monday, April 9 to Thursday, April 12
Tinian – Monday, April 16 to Friday, April 20
Monday, April 23 to Friday, April 27

Tinian Dynasty Hotel and CasinoA true slap in the face to the foreign workers and an extremely insensitive action on the part of the USCIS. I certainly hope that these establishments are not receiving compensation for use of their properties.

Remember those girls who wanted to kill Mike for "cheating?" You are those girls now.
Hopefully people will understand that this is an exaggeration for the purpose of the joke.
Why's SJ in the crowd, I thought he shipped MikexLucy?

Mike X Lucy fan wants to battle.
I'm actually a pauloXlucy fan, but my favorite character is mike.So I went against most of the bcb fans.
I'm disappointed that you didn't write any of the actual arguments they used.
it's funny because you completely strawmanned us
anon#3 ,I was exaggerating,
Nigga a strawman is a logical fallacy
Why is the fire brown?
You don't want to know.
Did I give you permission to ask for the privilige to use my likeness, no matter how shittily-drawn? Also I am pro-MikexLucy, so what the hell am I doing in a crowd full of retarded Mike-hating ****wits?
(Spacemouse not included, I suppose.)
you are not exaggerating at all I hate how people hate mike after years of looking out for lucy he slips up once and you all call him a *** do you not remember when the bridge callasped?

Regarding actress Natasha Richarson, who died after an apparently trivial fall, the medical examiner issued his report showing that the incident lesion was an epidural hematoma after all. Not a huge surprise, in that the "lucid interval" was so classic.
It reminds me of a case I blogged last year, about a young skier who arrested on the hill. In that case, I heard the post-mortem showed that the minor fall which had preceded the arrest had caused a fractured clavicle. The bizarre element there was that the clavicular fracture fragment had lacerated the subclavian artery (a complication which I had never even dreamed of) and the patient had exsanguinated into her thorax. And every year a few skiers die of asphyxia after falling into tree wells. Just last Tuesday I helped dig out a snowboarder who had gotten himself stuck in one -- fortunately head-up.
There are so many stupid ways to die out there -- not stupid in the sense that the victim did somethign stupid, but stupid in the sense that some little trivial thing suddenly winds up much bigger and worse than you would ordinarily expect. Sad.
Back on the original point, the Director of Trauma Services for McGill University Health Center, Montreal's trauma center, recently said that the lack of helicopter transportation may have been critical in her injury progressing beyond survivability. I think that may be an overstatement in this case. Certainly the 2-1/2 hour ground transport to Montreal didn't help matters, but the 2 hours' delay in getting to the first hospital put them so far behind the eight-ball that it would have been very difficult to save her in any case.
Having said that, it does kind of boggle my mind that they don't have some sort of medevac capability in a province the size of Quebec. I trained in Maryland, and for that fairly small state there were no fewer than eleven Dauphin helicopters operated by the State Police for EMS transport. And Quebec doesn't even have one? Amazing. Before the "single-payer sucks" advocates jump on this, I would like to point out that in Maryland and many other localities, EMS is paid for primarily out of tax coffers, not by the insurers. This is not about single-payer.
Others commented that it was kind of funny that she wasn't taken to a trauma center straight away, and suggested that too, is a failure of Canadian health care. I would like to point out that would be common at many US ski resorts. I work at times at a level 4 trauma center that is the closest receiving facility to a major ski area, and we get all of the trauma from the resort. Most of it is simple orthopedics, and we are well equipped to handle that. Anything more dramatic gets stabilized, bundled up, and shipped to the local level 2 or 1 center, as appropriate. Except we have helicopters for when it is necessary.

Follow-up on Natasha Richardson
Regarding actress Natasha Richarson, who died after an apparently trivial fall, the medical examiner issued his report showing that the incident lesion was an epidural hematoma after all. Not a huge surprise, in that the "lucid interval" was so classic.

I wonder what the weather was like up in Quebec that day- could a chopper be cleared to fly?ReplyDelete
My family is in NH, and a good portion of the time you cannot get a helicopter evacuation due to nasty northern weather (and tree cover. lots and lots of trees)
It's interesting that you commented on the great access that Marylanders (and anyone passing through) have to medevac helicopters. The system strategically places 8 helicopters around the state so everywhere is within 20 minutes. Unfortunately, that system along with the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS, which I'm sure you are familiar with if you trained here) is under attack by politicians with financial ties to private medevacs. Can you say conflict of interest? The senators pushing to make the change are trying to capitalize on the crash of Trooper 2 last fall. Could the system use some tweaking? Sure. But what these senators want is to destroy it. It's disheartening.ReplyDelete
The Maryland system is an example of a bad state run system. This may be the most dangerous EMS in the US.ReplyDelete
Just about everywhere else, you have two people providing patient care. Not in Maryland.
There have been many improvements in safety in HEMS (Helicopter EMS). Not in Maryland.
There is usually a focus on patient care, with highly trained medics, nurses, and/or doctors specializing in critical care. Not in Maryland.
In Maryland, you stop being a paramedic, so that you can become a State Trooper. You work as a Trooper until there is an opening on the helicopter. Then they train you to be a medic again. A 14 week course. After 14 weeks, you are alone in the back of the helicopter with unstable patients - that is when you aren't performing law enforcement duties. This is not the way to provide good patient care.
You won't find them cross-training pilots as State Troopers. You won't find nurses and doctors cross-trained, when their job is critical care. This is bad for patients.
There have been several investigations of the operation of the helicopter system. MSP Aviation has serious systemic problems that need to be fixed. MSP Aviation is badly broken.
After the crash in September, people realized that, just because they keep saying that MSP Aviation is the model for everyone else, doesn't make it true. Nobody else operates to such low standards.
MSP Aviation is dangerous and an example of how not to provide HEMS.
MSP Aviation is a political money grab.
MSP Aviation has had to cut flights by 2/3 since the September crash. MSP Aviation predicted dramatic increases in fatalities. These never occurred. MSP Aviation continues to lie to get people to support their political money grab.
Their big argument in support of the system - it's free! It is paid for by a tax on vehicles. Any similar profligate use of tax dollars would be held accountable. Not MSP Aviation. When it comes to accountability they get their protesters out. MSP Aviation has a lot of political support, but they are not an example of good patient care.
I'm surprised too that Montréal doesn't have some kind of air rescue society. Alberta does, and their population is far smaller than the population of southern Québec.ReplyDelete
I'm also amazed that Richardson wasn't put on a helicopter--as I've noted before, they have a helipad right there at the Circuit Mont-Tremblant (the race track) for exactly that purpose--getting the critically-injured to the city's formidably-equipped facilities as fast as possibly--and furthermore, there are various commercial helicopter services that offer aerial tours for visitors, though I have no idea if any of them co-ordinate with the hospitals.ReplyDelete

I'm currently training out in Ireland (and I'm in Dublin)... You're lucky if an ambulance has a 20 minute response time here. You're actually quite lucky if the ambulance can find your house. And as for choppers, there's one. One. For the whole country. And it isn't a medevac chopper. It's an Irish coastguard sea rescue chopper that every once in a blue moon is lent to the medics for extenuating circumstances.ReplyDelete
Does the British Army(?) no longer have helicopters in Northern Ireland?
If they do, are they available for mutual aid? Their posts tended to be near the border, so they should have pretty good access into a large part of Ireland. Or is the border crossing too much of a political problem?
This is one of the trauma team's major bones of contention, the helicopter issue.ReplyDelete
I never understood why we didn't have one, other than the fact that there just wasn't the $$$. Alberta has traditionally been awash in cash and the infrastructure is incredible there. QC simply doesn't tend to invest in infrastructure.

Terry Metcalf, 52, of Dickinson, dies in a 50-foot-fall from a drilling rig near Killdeer.
Funeral services are scheduled Tuesday for a Dickinson man who died in a 50-foot-fall from a drilling rig in the western North Dakota oil patch.
Fifty-two-year-old Terry Metcalf was pronounced dead at the scene near Killdeer on Monday. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating.
Metcalf worked for Big Sky Well Service. Owner Charles Fulton tells The Dickinson Press (http://bit.ly/O6sRPM) that officials don't know how Metcalf fell.
OSHA official Eric Brooks says it is the seventh oil field death reported to the agency since its fiscal year began last October. He says not all have been work-related.

Judith Sullivan, associate professor of mathematics at Chestnut Hill College and the winner of 2013 Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching, has co-authored a book on academic empowerment for new students entering college.
The book, "From Angst to Empowerment: Strategic Planning for Collegiate and Academic Success," co-authored with Chestnut Hill biology faculty member Barbara Giuliano, is a guidebook for students who are just beginning their academic career and provides a clear, concise path to achieve success in the college classroom.
Retreating from the college prep manuals that focus on the more social aspects of the college experience, Sullivan and Giuliano wrote a handbook to help college students tackle their studies though their SUCCESS learning strategy (self-reflection, uncertainty, challenge, change, epiphany, synthesis, self-empowerment).
Filling the gaps that can exist from high school and beginning college coursework, the book is the culmination of more than a decade of experience Sullivan and Giuliano culled from teaching in summer bridge programs and case studies. The result is a guidebook that is a must read for students who want to start their freshman year at college successfully.
"We are so pleased that students and guidance counselors everywhere now have access to our book," Sullivan said. "Based on decades of teaching experience, our book guides students who are making the transition from high school to college. The unexpected reality of the rigors of college and the need to quickly cope with this challenging situation can often catch students off-guard. We give students the tools they need to succeed, laying out an easy-to-follow, seven-step process that will lead students to academic self-empowerment."
"It is thrilling to see students succeed using our strategies," Giuliano said. "This book teaches students how to develop their own learning plan and helps them to overcome their personal academic challenges. It can be used as a self-help guidebook by an individual student, or it could be used as a textbook in a first year experience seminar or learning strategies course."

WASHINGTON — With Mideast peace talks on the verge of collapse, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry declared Friday that "it's reality check time" on whether an agreement can be reached anytime soon after decades of bitterness between Israeli and Palestinian leaders. The U.S. will re-evaluate its role as mediator, he said.
It was Kerry's most pessimistic take yet on the peace effort after nearly nine months of frustrating talks with little progress to show.
Kerry made clear that his push for peace is not yet over, and he said both sides claim to want to continue negotiating. But he also said that continuing setbacks in the process — culminating this week with tit-for-tat moves by Israeli and Palestinian officials that have upended good-faith bargaining — could force the U.S. to shift focus to other crises where Washington might have more success.
"We have an enormous amount on the plate," Kerry told reporters during a diplomatic visit to Rabat, Morocco, the end of a marathon trip that saw him jumping back and forth between Israel, Ramallah and Europe. He noted that the United States is also dealing with challenges in Ukraine, Iran and Syria.
"There are limits to the amount of time and effort the United States can spend if the parties themselves are unwilling to take constructive steps in order to be able to move forward," Kerry said.
The nine months of talks are scheduled to end April 29, and Kerry has been pressing to have them continue through much of the rest of the year. "But we're not going to sit here indefinitely," he said. "So it's reality check time, and we intend to evaluate precisely what the next steps will be."
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he "would anticipate that a conversation with the president is in the near future."
Kerry has spent major portions of his 14 months as secretary of state pursuing an Israeli-Palestinian agreement despite the seemingly long odds. A collapse of the talks could be a diplomatic embarrassment for him and the administration — and a danger in the region as well.
Failed efforts in the past have led to major bouts of violence. On Friday, Palestinians fired rockets at Israel, which responded with warplanes attacking military targets in the Gaza Strip.
Uzi Rabi, director of Middle Eastern Studies at Tel Aviv University, said it's doubtful the two sides will broker a final peace agreement, given years of bitterness and sharp differences over borders, claims to Jerusalem and recognition of Israel as a Jewish state.
But he said the talks should continue — if only to ward off a new Palestinian uprising against Israelis that would surely lead to a surge in violence.
"I think the Americans know that" the talks ultimately will fail, Rabi said. "So why are they going on? Because it's much better to talk than something which is much more problematic, like intifada."
Intifada is the Arabic term for past Palestinian uprisings against Israel. The last one began in 2000, and more than 3,000 Palestinians and 1,000 Israelis were killed in several years of fighting.
In the West Bank city of Ramallah, chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat expressed hope Friday that the talks would continue. But, he said, Palestinian leaders do not feel bound to follow Kerry's ground rules for negotiating if Israel fails to live up to its own commitments.
"We don't have anything to lose," Erekat said, after the moves and countermoves that Israeli and Palestinian officials have undertaken over the past week that have left the negotiations on life support.
The peace process was put into serious jeopardy last weekend when Israel refused to release a group of Palestinian prisoners it had said last summer it would free as part of the agreement to resume talks that had been stalled since 2011.
U.S. diplomats then offered the unprecedented possibility of releasing convicted American spy Jonathan Pollard, who is serving a life sentence for selling U.S. military secrets to Israel, as incentive for Israel to release the prisoners. Every president since Ronald Reagan has refused Israel's request to release Pollard.
But Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas retaliated by signing 15 United Nations treaties and conventions to give Palestinians greater international recognition — a step his side initially pledged not to undertake while the peace talks were continuing.
The U.S. has supported statehood for the Palestinians but wants them to accomplish it through the peace process rather than by unilateral actions.
"Obviously it's a very difficult moment and in a sense not surprising because of the actions taken over the past several days by both parties," said former Sen. George Mitchell, who led peace negotiations for the Obama administration for more than two years ending in 2011.
Making clear he is no longer privy to the closely held talks, Mitchell said the Obama administration "can and should" try again to broker a peace agreement before the next U.S. presidential election in 2016. He said, "I don't think it can be left for that period of time."
Kerry's comments Friday signaled that he would take a step back to test Israeli and Palestinian intentions. Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must lead and make compromises for the talks to have a chance for success, he said.

According to unnamed sources in Taiwan there will be 3 different versions of the iPad 2 from Apple when it gets released in 2011, including the current Wi-Fi and UMTS 3G models, as well as a CDMA model for use with carriers like Verizon. According to DigiTimes:
Apple is expected to release three versions of iPad 2, supporting either or a combination of Wi-Fi, UMTS and CDMA, for 2011 with mass production to start as early as the later half of January.
According to the rumor, Apple will begin production of 500,000 to 530,000 units during the 2nd half of January, and is expected to produce a ratio of 3:4:3 (Wi-Fi, UMTS, CDMA respectively) as it appears that 60-65% of current iPad shipments have been 3G models.
In addition to added wireless functionality, it looks like the iPad 2 might get a few other minor upgrades including better smudge-resistant screens with an anti-reflective treatment. This should help the iPad 2 better compete with eBook readers like the Amazon Kindle.
Although these are just rumors for now, it would be pretty great to see a Verizon iPad 2 released in 2011 next to a Verizon iPhone, don't you think? Sound off in the comments below!
