iPad Mini reviewers agree: It's a mini iPad

4 hrs.

Devin Coldewey , NBC News

Apple's iPad Mini will be available for purchase this Friday, and the first batch of reviews has hit the Internet. They seem to agree on a few points: It's built?like an iPad, the screen is a step down, and it's the most hold-able tablet yet.

Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal says, "You can think of it either as a low-cost, compact cousin of the full-sized iPad, or a costlier, larger-screen alternative to the 7-inch models." And indeed, whether the iPad Mini is a luxury or a?bargain depends on what you're considering as alternatives.

The competition at the $200 level is formidable: Google's Nexus 7, Amazon's Kindle Fire, and Barnes & Noble's Nook HD. All offer higher-resolution screens and similarly small form factors. Yet the iPad mini costs $129 more to start. What does it have that the others don't?

According to pretty much every reviewer: The look and feel. "If the iPhone 5 is reminiscent of jewelry, the iPad mini is like a solidly made watch," says The Verge. "When you hold it, it almost feels like you?re just holding a sheet of glass," says TechCrunch. "If there were an industry award for Tablet You Can Most Easily Envision Holding For Extended Periods of Time, the Mini would be a runaway winner," says Time's TechLand. And Fox News gives perhaps the best compliment of all: "When I picked it up, I was reminded of the first time I held a first-generation iPhone."

Clearly, the fit and finish?of the device is superior ? which should probably be expected from something that costs half again as much as the devices it's being compared to.

And then there's the fact that it runs a ton of iPad apps out of the box ? a big selling point for people who don't want to worry about such things when migrating to a new device. "Nearly every larger iPad app I've thrown at it feels usable and comfortable at this smaller screen size," CNET assures us. And the famous iPad battery life is intact, too: Engadget's tests put it at 12 hours and 43 minutes, the best out of all the tablets they've measured.

One thing every reviewer acknowledges but for which?no one seemed inclined?to ding Apple is the screen. The 1024x768 resolution is the same as the original iPad's, yet not only do the iPad Mini's cheaper competitors now?have higher-res?screens, but many smartphones do as well! Reviewers seem to let Apple off the hook by saying that since the screen is smaller, those pixels are packed more closely together than on the iPad 2 or original model.

"Nobody's going to complain about the sharpness," suggests David Pogue at?the New?York Times, but that's probably?not true. Millions have grown accustomed to the sharp displays since the iPhone 4 debuted in 2010, and the iPad Mini's big brother was a huge hit specifically because of the "sharpness" of the Retina display. And while reviewers rightly?praise the Mini's larger 7.9-in. screen in comparison to its 7-in. competition, what they're saying about screen real estate isn't strictly true.

Apple's tablet may have more square inches, but the 1440x900 pixel display of the Nook HD, though smaller physically, can display more words, more clearly ? and the same is true to a lesser extent of other 7" tablets.?

Giving Apple a pass on the screen is a bit questionable, but in fairness to the iPad Mini, its screen is technically more sharp than the?iPad 2's, and by all accounts, this miniaturized iPad is excellent in everything but resolution.

Should you buy it? Screen gripes aside, the sturdy, pretty iPad mini definitely allows you do do a few new things: read one-handed, for instance. Being small and light also makes it a good choice for kids.?

To?really know whether it's worth it, though, it might be a good idea to see the iPad Mini with your own eyes. Of course, once you pick one up, as the reviewers note, you may find it hard to put down ??regardless of your reservations.

If you choose to fight the urge, though, no one will blame you. Given Apple's typical pace in improving its devices,?it seems likely that we'll see a Retina-display Mini by this time next year, if not sooner ? and maybe at a more competitive price.

Census: Jump in young adults moving out of state

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Their lives on hold for years, young adults are now making big moves in the fledgling economic recovery, leaving college towns or parents' homes and heading out of state at the highest rate since the height of the housing boom.

New census data released Thursday offer a detailed look at U.S. migration as mobility begins to revive after sliding to a record low last year.

The latest numbers show that young adults 25-29 are the primary out-of-state movers; they had the biggest gain in 13 years as they struck out on their own to test the job market in urban, high-tech meccas such as Washington, D.C.; Denver; Portland, Ore.; Seattle; and Austin, Texas.

In contrast, groups that showed some of the most movement in the housing boom of the last decade (2000-2010) ? working professionals, families and would-be retirees ? are still mostly locked in place, their out-of-state migration levels stuck at near lows due to underwater mortgages and shrunken retirement portfolios.

The demographic shifts, which analysts say could continue for many more years, are once again rejiggering the housing map.

Out are the super-sized McMansions in far-flung suburbs and in the sprawling Southwest, which helped drive rapid metro area growth in the early to middle part of the last decade in places such as Phoenix; Las Vegas; Orlando, Fla.; and Atlanta. In are new, 300 square-foot "micro" apartments under consideration for wider development in dense cities such as New York, San Francisco, Boston and Seattle, which are seeking to attract young single adults who value affordable spaces in prime locations to call their own.

"Footloose young singles are forming the leading edge of the coming migration wave," said William H. Frey, a Brookings Institution demographer who reviewed the numbers. He attributed the recent jump in mobility to pent-up demand among young adults who now are ready to "move on a dime" to land a job opportunity.

"We will see their migration rates swell even higher if the jobs become more plentiful," Frey said. "Families, older professionals and retirees will be latecomers; they have more financial baggage and will need to make more careful decisions about when and where to move."

Richard Florida, an American urban theorist and professor at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, called the mobility gain an important sign the U.S. economy is getting back on track.

"Young people are moving out of their parents' basements and sampling places and sampling careers again," he said. "After living at home for a while, young people have kind of maxed it out. They are heading to bigger, vibrant cities, predominantly, because they're looking for economic opportunity and building their social networks."

About 1.7 percent of the U.S. population moved across state lines to a new home in the 12-month period ending March 2012, up slightly from 1.6 percent in the previous year.

The share of young adults ages 25-29 who moved to a new state was higher, about 3.8 percent. That's up from 3.4 percent in the previous year and the highest level since the height of the housing boom in 2005, when mobility was 5 percent. The 0.4 percentage point increase in 2012 is also the biggest jump for young adults since 1999, when the rapid rise of Internet startups and the need for young workers during the dot-com bubble drove migration.

Moving rates for college graduates of all ages remained mostly flat at 2 percent.

Among Americans 55 and older, out-of-state moves dipped from the previous year to a low of 0.7 percent. At the height of the housing boom, interstate migration for this group reached well over 1 percent, due mostly to baby boomers opting to retire early to residential hot spots in the South and West.

According to the latest data, some of the biggest winners in recent years have been states such as California, Massachusetts and New York. The states were able to reduce much of the annual losses they suffered in domestic migration during the housing boom, when residents left in mass numbers for wider, more affordable spaces in the Sun Belt and Mountain West. The bigger states also continue to gain relatively more people from higher immigration and births.

Broken down by age and metro area, the Washington, D.C., area ranked at the top of destinations for young adults in the 2009-2011 period, rocketing up from 45th in 2006-2008. The area has been boosted by its promise of more plentiful government-related jobs, as well as a continuing influx of students attending area universities and its up-and-coming neighborhoods.

Texas metro areas including Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio, which already were on the rise before the recession hit in late 2007, have remained a strong draw for young adults due in large part to their thriving energy and high-tech industries. They ranked second, fifth, sixth and ninth, respectively, in terms of youth migration.

Denver and Portland, Ore., rounded out the top five at No. 3 and No. 4.

Separate census data released earlier this year showed that most of America's largest cities were growing at a faster rate than their surrounding suburbs for the first time in a century, driven mostly by young adults. That also has prompted city planners to devise ways to attract young adults, who generally desire no-strings-attached apartment living and close proximity to potential jobs.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in July invited architects to design an apartment building of "micro-units" no more than 300 square feet. The city envisions a future in which the young and the cash-poor will flock to these dwellings, having grown weary of "doubling up" with friends or family in the economic downturn.

In San Francisco, developers are seeking permission to rent out apartments as small as 220 square feet, a little more than twice the size of some prison cells.

Kenneth Johnson, a senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire, said it's hard to predict how much migration ultimately will pick up given the uncertainty in the economy. He said the people making the biggest moves in the coming years likely will be those who feel they must: young adults in search of jobs, couples with small children seeking better schools, new retirees desiring high-amenity recreational living.

"I suspect the recession has sobered the American population about migration," Johnson said.

The census findings are based on the Current Population Survey as of March 2012, as well as comparisons of the 2006-2008 and the 2009-2011 American Community Survey to provide a snapshot of every U.S. community with at least 20,000 residents. Figures from the 2011 American Community Survey also are used to establish broader trends.

5 Easy and Delicious Vegan Dinner Recipes

I usually finish my yoga teaching day about that time and then want to hop on my computer to return the dozens of messages in my inbox. With all the projects I feel are still looming, food is often the last thing on my mind.?

But if I wait too long, my kids will soon be asking for cereal and yogurt and, like any mom trying to multi-task, I may cave in to their demands.

Does it often feel like preparing dinner is another chore you'd rather avoid? Do you opt for take-out more than you?d like to admit?

One of the keys to successful eating is food preparation. I spend a few minutes each week going though my glorious cookbooks for recipes I?d like to prepare. I give my refrigerator a serious overhaul (getting rid of what is not being eaten and deciding upon a grocery list). Then, on a night I feel like I have more time or during a Saturday morning, I spend an hour or two making several dishes at once, so I don?t have to think about it again for at least three more days. If you have delicious, healthy meals already prepared, chances are you?ll be eating a lot better!

Here are 5 easy but delicious vegan recipes that will allow you to maintain your sanity yet still permit your family to eat a nutritious, mouth-watering dinner together.

Apr?s-ski near Munich: entertainment for everyone | This is ...

ADVERTORIAL FEATURE

Apr?s-ski is fast becoming a key component to consider when looking into ski holidays. With numerous ski resorts located just one hour from Munich airport and plenty of cheap deals on flights, you can get your apr?s-ski holiday started in no time. This guide will tell you where to find the best apr?s-ski venues to suit you, at three of the top ski resorts near Munich.

1. Munich Holidays with Monarch

Bad Kohlgrub ? excitement and relaxation

To combine the adrenaline rush of skiing with rest and recuperation, choose Bad Kohlgrub - a stunning spa set amongst magnificent mountains, moors and lakes. The spa is the perfect place to take a day off from the slopes to enjoy a few well-deserved pampering treatments.

After an exciting day on the slopes (or the massage table) you'll want to enjoy a good meal, and the nearby Heimgarten restaurant is famous for serving family-friendly and authentic German fare, whilst the Guggenberg Alm is a caf? and restaurant with a pretty exterior and a warm and welcoming feel.

Oberau ? small but perfectly formed

Oberau is an affordable winter break destination for couples, groups and families. The resort has a cosy, family-friendly atmosphere and is part of a group of three different resorts interlinked by a bus service, so you can enjoy everything the area has to offer.

Nearby Niedarau is considered the area?s party capital. Dance the night away at The Dorfstub?n Fun-Pub or enjoy live musical entertainment at the Simmerlwirt caf?. There are regular Tyrolean evenings (featuring traditional folk dancing and yodelling) held in all the surrounding villages, as well as moonlit sleigh rides and toboggan parties.

St Wolfgang ? ideal for beginners

Conveniently located just a short drive from Munich airport, St Wolfgang is steeped in a thousand years of history, and is the perfect place for ski beginners and families with children.

See how the locals get down at the Tanzlokal village disco, or enjoy some high-brow entertainment at one of many operetta evenings held at the famous White Horse Inn. For a completely different experience, take a trip to the casino in Salzburg or get romantic with a moonlit sleigh ride or snow shoe walk.

With Munich flights from Monarch available online from just ?34 per person, jetting off on your next ski holiday is affordable and convenient.

Isis' NFC payments go live in Austin and Salt Lake City: 3 carriers, 9 phones, 1 long way to go (video)

To say that the launch of Isis has felt drawn out would be a mild understatement. The alliance first signaled its intentions two years ago, detailed its first markets one year ago and faced a last-minute delay. All the ducks are finally in a row, however, and residents of both Austin as well as Salt Lake City can tap to pay (or score discounts) at the "hundreds" of locations that accept NFC-based purchases through American Express, Capital One, Chase and Isis' own cash card. Launch day brings app- and SIM-enabled access for nine devices spread rather unevenly across AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon: only the Droid Incredible 4G LTE is confirmed working for Verizon subscribers, while the rest are divided more equally between multiple Samsung Galaxies and HTC devices like the Amaze 4G and One X. Over 20 phones should be Isis-aware before the end of the year. It's a potentially strong start to one of the few truly cross-network mobile payment systems in the US, but we see a long road ahead before Isis gives Google Wallet some jitters -- there's legions of banks, cities and stores needed before Isis is widespread, and we're not counting on that ever-elusive universal hardware support.

CoPilot Live switches to Google search, adds additional Android integration

 

The CoPilot Live GPS navigation app has been recently updated with a whole bunch of new features. High on the list is the replacement of Bing with Google search, and some deeper digging into the native Android experience, such as being able to launch directly into a navigation query from an address in an e-mail. The full changelog for CoPilot Live 9.3 reads: 

• Free map update – the latest NAVTEQ street maps
• Google search – CoPilot’s Local Search is now powered by Google
• Android integration – allowing tasks such as navigating to an address in an email
• New info display – including Current Road
• Themes – four new free colour schemes are available*
• Drive for a cause – a paid-for pink theme in support of Breast Cancer Awareness (all proceeds go to charity)*
• Numerous user interface enhancements

The uber-expensive European versions have been updated, as well as the bare-bones free version, though the South Africa, New Zealand, and Australian versions are still a bit behind. We've got a full review of t CoPilot Live here, and will have a Q&A with the devs going up sometime this week. 

Anybody using CoPilot regularly? How does it fare compared to the core Google Maps experience? Is there any room for third-party GPS apps when Android provides a fairly robust one out of the box?

Switched On: Sell the hardware, attract the apps

Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.

Microsoft has finally revealed details on the pricing for the all-singing, all-dancing Surface RT. True to Steve Ballmer's word, the Windows RT device is priced competitively with the iPad. It is, in fact, the same price as the entry-level, now not-so "new iPad" and with double the flash memory, an advantage that may change by the time the Surface ships.

The commercial shows off the device's signature hardware features -- the kickstand and touch keyboard cover -- and plays up the "click" they make when they attach to the Surface, which is of course similar to the "click" made when an Apple Smart Cover connects to an iPad. And in a bit of irony for a product that is more focused on tapping than the mouse clicks of the desktop mouse, its campaign slogan is "click in." (It also raises the question as to why people would be constantly attaching the sold-separately touch keyboard when it doubles as a cover, but it is a commercial after all.) While expensive relative to the price of the device, Microsoft's keyboard covers represent an extension of one of Apple's best-conceived iPad accessories (the Smart Cover) and far exceed one of Apple's worst (the original iPad keyboard dock).

Will We Outlive the Dinosaurs?

In terms of how much we advanced and how much time we lived on the planet, we've not outlived the Dinosaurs yet, in fact we've progressed exponentially fast. The question to ask is this rapid progression to our detriment, since many debate we're already seeing the effects of our living in this planet, for this length. Is it possible our progression in this sense has doomed us to not out live the other big species of the planet.

Will we reach that zenith or will we die out sooner?

Thoughts and opinions please.

We help the multi-nationals
when they cry out protect us.
The locals scream and shout a bit,
but we don?t let that affect us.
We?re here to lend a helping hand
in case they don?t elect us.
How dare they buy our products
yet still they don?t respect us.

Do You Want More Traffic On Your Website? Try These Search ...

Do You Want More Traffic On Your Website? Try These Search Engine Optimization Suggestions.

A strong strategy for search engine optimization is key for any business website. When your potential customer searches for you online, it must be easy to find you! This is why it is so important to be as high in the search engine results as possible. These tips will help you to achieve that goal.

By adding fresh, updated material, you are increasing the likelihood that search engine bots will notice your site. In addition, if you write great articles, people will share them. These readers will return again and again to see what else you have to say, and their friends will start visiting your site as well.

Pepper all of your site content with relevant keywords to improve your site?s search engine ranking. The best place to put your main keywords is in the first visible content on your site. Make sure not to overdo it by stuffing too many keywords into a short amount of text, though. A good rule is to use your keyword two times in the first paragraph. Incorporate the keyword again in the following 200 words, being certain that you maintain a smooth flow for the reader. The keywords should not stand out.

Put yourself in the search seat and ponder as to what keywords you would use to locate your website. Then ensure these keywords are prominent throughout your web pages. You want to use them strategically in both content and the titles, but be wary of over saturating your site with the keywords. You don?t want to be flagged as a possible spam site.

Try including transcripts for videos or audio you post to your site. The transcripts allow your content to be easily understood by search engine robots. This will ensure your website gets a higher ranking.

Site Links

Using relevant links to trusted reference sites will also improve your search engine ranking. This signals that your site is a credible source of information. Search engines like their top sites to have a nice mix of internal and off-site links, typically weighing those off-site links even more than the internal ones. Look for options that offer linking opportunities to go back to your page, so your ranking and your traffic can increase.

Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a method of marketing on the web. SEO involves placing keywords in your website?s content and building backlinks in order to increase your website?s search engine results page ranking for certain search terms. This will guide people, searching for your products or services, directly to your virtual doorstep.

Buy a pre-owned domain name and get a higher ranking. Search engines give higher rankings automatically to domain names that have been around for more than two years old. Review lists of recently deleted domains looking for ones that could possibly suit your new site?s purpose.

Meta Tags

The meta tags you use should be highly descriptive. All well-composed meta tags should be both accurate and enticing.

If you want to be successful in Internet marketing, you should be aware of the many facets of SEO that you need to learn but avoid trying to include all of them at once. There just is not enough time to fully master all the different techniques you can implement, so learn one and exploit it extensively.

Write your articles around certain keywords to help with search engine optimization. By including the keywords that are relevant to the topic of your articles, the search engines will able to find them easier. Therefore, it?s easier for readers who may be trying to locate your articles. Incorporate a keyword into the title, the summary, and about 4 to 5 times in the body.

To improve your search engine rankings, use many variations of your keywords, including misspellings, in your meta tags. Search engine bots will find analyze these meta tags and including this information will increase your visibility. A good example is using the keywords ?eyeglasses? and ?eyeglases? if your website is all about eyeglasses.

Server Headers

If you are looking for ways to optimize your site for search engines, you should first analyze your server headers. It?s important that your server headers function properly. If you are attempting to redirect your server headers, make sure that you are using the proper routes.

You can establish criteria for your search engine to use that will allow you to customize its capabilities. To perfect those results, try using definite commands that can help the users find you in the relevant results.

After determining the optimal keywords for your website, get them into your page?s title. Create an interesting and trendy title, because it will be the first glimpse of your website that users from search engines will get. Your website will match up with users? search terms better, and your traffic will soon increase.

Purchase a simple domain name that is pertinent to your niche and easy to remember. This can make it much easier for visitors who have seen your content on a video sharing site find your website, as it is easier to pronounce and recall.

Search Engines

Be sure to use very descriptive title tags so that search engines will comprehend your site content easily. Use 60 characters of fewer because search engines typically will not display any more content than that. Also, anything after sixty characters is given less consideration.

You can improve your ranking on search results pages by offering an abundance of content that covers different ideas within a given niche. For a blog about food, cover everything from exotic new foods to cooking methods to recommended restaurants or shows. When you publish multiple articles on a variety of topics, you increase your search engine exposure and will gain a greater number of visitors to your site.

When search engine optimizing your content, it?s essential to pay attention to the density of your keywords. The total use of keywords on any given page should be less than 20 percent.

SEO is actually a lot easier than it sounds. All you have to do is pay attention to small details, and change your approach. Utilize the advice offered in this article to optimize your search engine results.

No comments - Special Education Law Blog - Yes

Our series providing an introduction to special education law continues.? Previous posts have introduced the two basic concepts underlying IDEA, free and appropriate education and least restrictive environment.? Last week we discussed eligibility and identification.? Today we will look at selected IEP issues.

Some IEP Issuies

Issues pertaining to IEPS are among the most frequent to appear in due process hearings.? Here are some fundamental points:

Issues pertaining to individualized education programs are governed by IDEA ?? 612(a)(4) and 614 (d)-(f).? See, 34 C.F.R, ?? 300.320-300.323, ?300.324 ? 300.328.

L.B. & J.B. on behalf of K.B. v. Nebo Sch. Dist., Bd. of Educ., et al, 379 F.3d 966, 41 IDELR 206 (10^th Cir. 8/11/2004).? The IEP is the basic mechanism through which each child?s individual goals are achieved.?

D.F. & D.F. ex rel N.F. v. Ramapo Cent. Sch. Dist. 105 LRP 57524 (2d Cir. 11/23/05).? The Court notes that the case raises an issue as to whether it is proper to utilize prospective or retrospective analysis of an IEP.? The court stated that an IEP is a snapshot not a retrospective. In striving for appropriateness, an IEP must take into account what was, and was not, objectively reasonable when the snapshot was taken, i.e., at the time the IEP was formulated.? Contrast, ?MS by Simchick v. Fairfax County Sch Bd 553 F.3d 315, 51 IDELR 148 (4th Cir 1/14/09).

?

In a recent trend involving cases alleging failure to implement IEPs, courts have increasingly taken a stance that to be actionable, the failure to implement must have been "material." This trend follows the reasoning of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in? Van Duyn ex rel Van Duyn v. Baker Sch Dist 5J 481 F.3d 770, 47 IDELR 182 (9th Cir. 4/3/7)?
