Marching off for the last time at WPHS
The picture shows the drumline marching off the field for the final time in 2011.
Thus ends 4 great years of marching band at Winter Park High School for Eric. Each year WPHS managed to make the Florida State competition and each year they made the finals and finished in the Top 5 statewide.
This year they came in fourth overall and first in our hearts. As always, they put in an extraordinary amount of effort starting at Summer band camp and culminating at the State Finals. This years Finals performance was amazing.

Popular Science 1948: Auto Safety
Archive Gallery: Automobile Safety Tips | Popular Science:
"The Seven Keys to Safety: March 1948
If this cover image doesn't terrify you into driving safely, we don't know what will. According to the illustrator, driving 30 miles and hour is as dangerous as driving on the roof of a building. To keep readers from suffering such terrible fates, writers Devon Francis and John F. Stearns recommended memorizing the seven keys to safety, which are as follows:
1. Learn to judge the conditions of the road and the drivers.
2. It isn't how fast you can go, it's how fast you can stop.
3. Keep one car length between you and the car in front of you for every 10 miles on your speedometer.
4. Suspect every pedestrian of suicide.
5. Every intersection is a crash point, so slow down.
6. Signal properly.
7. Expect the worst from the other car."
It would seem that by 1948 we had uncovered the universal truths of automobile safety. However, I don't think eating, texting, fiddling with 100's of radio channels or putting on makeup while driving had been invented yet.

10 Reasons to Skip the Expensive Colleges
10 Reasons to Skip the Expensive Colleges on Shine
1. Beginning adulthood without debt is worth far more than a designer diploma.
The authors’ No. 1 rule for parents: Don’t let your child go into debt for college. In 2010, almost two thirds of undergraduates borrowed money, and student-loan debt outpaced credit card debt for the first time. The College Board likes to say that a typical senior graduates with “only” $24,000 in debt, but with interest, collection charges, and penalties for postponed payments, the amounts owed can exceed $100,000. If you ever default on a federal student loan (and the rate of defaults is rising), you’ll be hounded for life. Lenders can garnish your wages, intercept your tax refunds, and have your professional license revoked. You can’t work for the government or collect your social security. “People have been sold this propaganda: ‘The rates are so low; just get a loan,’ ” Dreifus says. “The long-term effect is to cripple your children.”
9. Going to an elite university does not guarantee success.
To prove this point, Hacker and Dreifus tracked the 900-odd students who graduated from Princeton in 1973 to see if the school was delivering on its promise “to prepare students for positions of leadership,” whether in business, public service, or the arts, which Princeton administrators claim as their goal. “We were very disappointed,” Hacker says. “There were only a handful of recognized names in that class of 900. What that tells us is simply this: In America, if you put your talents to their best use, by the age of 35 or 36, you’ll be passing people from Princeton, no matter where you went to school.” Sure, the authors acknowledge, a designer degree might help you get into medical school or law school at Harvard, Stanford, or Yale. That’s a nice bonus if you can pay the full sticker price, they say, but not enough of an edge to saddle your child with many thousands of dollars in debt.

National Geographic Reviews the iPad2 for travel
Adventure Travel - National Geographic Adventure Blog
A few apps they call out:
• National Geographic National Parks Maps HD App - $4.99
This app pairs hi-res images of points-of-interest within National Geographic HD topo trail maps for 15 parks (Yosemite, Yellowstone, Zion, Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, and ten others). The iPad’s Digital Compass will locate you within the park when you are ready to start exploring.
• JetSetter - Free
This visually stunning, content-driven travel app lets you discover travel destinations through a gorgeous layout and photography. The stories and editorial reviews will tantalize you to take a trip—and the app even allows you to book a hotel stay with a cool calendar feature. It also has “Flash Sale” limited-time travel deals.• TripAdvisor - Free
Thanks to the iPad’s digital compass, TripAdvisor’s vast database of user reviews are made available on Google Street maps. Simply locate yourself via the GPS, then read reviews of nearby restaurants and hotels positioned on a Google Street View map. What’s surprising is all the local information. I always considered TripAdvisor to be best for international hotels. But with the app, I located myself in my apartment in Brooklyn and it showed me all the restaurants and businesses on my street with contact info and user reviews.
• Fotopedia Heritage - Free
Brilliant photos illustrate the world’s UNESCO World Heritage sites in this app. The Machu Picchu slide show alone has 59 images.
• FlightBoard - $3.99
This app quite simply lets you see the Arrivals and Departures flight boards in any airport. Pretty handy if you are dealing with weather delays.
• AllSubway HD - $.99
This is the first collection of subway maps from the world’s great cities, from Moscow to Munich to Perth. You don’t need a Wi-Fi connection to use it, so subterranean navigation is possible.
Starting in May, Apple is going to offer free travel app workshops for consumers at their 200+ U.S. stores. At these workshops, Apple instructors will show the latest and best travel apps available.

Military adopts iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad
The article states that a modern smartphone has the computing power of a 10 year old laptop and has replaced a lot of heavy gear that no longer has to be lugged along on a mission. Not to mention that when you have time you can get away from it all by plugging in your earphones and listening to music.
The U.S. Army has established an app store (the Army Marketplace) for military smart phone users. This includes the iPad, which soldiers are also big fans of. The army app store includes an "App Wanted" section where users can post descriptions of an app they need. If a developer (in uniform, or an army approved civilian with access to the Army Marketplace) is interested, a discussion can be started on an attached message board. The army hopes that the needed app will be quickly created and made available at the Army Marketplace.
