Dish has been internally testing Weatherscan, and requested the font on the crawl be easier to read. The solution to that was to change from Interstate Condensed to Interstate Bold.

Tyler, you missed out

Martin is absolutely right . I also agree with what Mike is saying...I picked ASU because of it's friendly environment, and also because there are some pretty good programs here.

Why visit colleges to party when I can do that at home?

I think I made the right choice with my school... I love it, I've made great friends, been to some great parties, etc. Thus why I can't wait to go back! Now if I could only decided exactly I wanted to major in...

I didn't visit any of the college I applied to (applied and got accepted to 4 universities). Everything I needed to know was on their websites.
It's always good to visit colleges if your curious about the atmosphere of the campus and whatnot that the sites may not provide enough of. I myself like to see how they're like in person regardless.

All of the universities I applied to offered 3D tours of their campuses online.

it surely has flown by. I haven't gotten a chance to visit all the colleges I was interested in applying to.

Interesting, the HD LDA/LDL combo and the 33% SD LDL still have the older basemaps

IIRC, those aren't related to TITAN.
No. They are Titan

Oh, then, maybe it's just a diffrent version of Titan....? Or maybe they are just taking some time to update.

They are TITAN, but they are a completely separate product in a completely different department. That department would have to go in and change them, but I don't see the need to be honest.

More special ed teachers are needed as the population with special needs is increasing.

I strongly disagree. There are no more special needs students today than there were ten years ago... it's just now we consider so many things "special needs" its ridiculous.

I came with my sister for her college orientation, and our hotel has an XL! It is on Coaxial Cable TV in Edinboro, PA (in Erie County). CC site is Erie and forecast site is Edinboro. I'll get a cell phone video later on.

Well perhaps when the Houston and Atlanta versions launch someone here will be able to see it. I am sure there was some reason these locations were chosen.

My thinking is

1. Atlanta to test Traffic

2. Houston to test Marine.

Wrong and wrong. Traffic isn't even built into the STAR yet...
