"On Wednesday, Apple will release a highly anticipated update to iOS devices: iOS 7. The new version is a complete departure from prior versions of iOS. The update is set to bring an entire new look and feel to iOS devices, which in turn will likely lead to late-night calls from your parents asking why their phone or iPad looks so different. That is, if they can find the redesigned Phone icon. In addition to the new look, there's a long list of new features such as a new Control Center, photo filters, and AirDrop. With the looming update in mind, it's important you prepare yourself and your device to make the transition as smooth as possible." - Harold

"Angry Birds Star Wars II might be just around the corner, but the original has just received a great update with 30 new levels to tackle. What do we get? Ewoks! The new levels are set on the Forest Moon of Endor where you shall attempt to destroy the bunker and disable the Death Star's shields in the big final battle. Besides flying Ewoks, the new levels have an additional gameplay mechanic, where you have the ability to bounce things off giant drums to alter their trajectory. Oh, and if there's logs around, be sure to use them to your advantage! Angry Birds Star Wars is one of our favorites out of the Rovio stable, and we'll be having great fun on Endor with these new levels. Grab the update now from the App Store, or the iPhone and iPad versions at the links below." - Harold

"I don't know if I'm just getting old, or if this is something people actually want. Andrew and I have talked about how movie theaters are one of the few places people can get together in near silence and experience something together, and I'm of the opinion that the experience of going to a good movie with an appreciative crowd is soul-filling. So how does that change when everyone is looking down at their iPads?" - Harold

Do not want! - Harold

Such a terrible idea - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

I don't get it, really. I mean, having 'sing along' showings makes sense to me for musicals, but I don't get wanting to a) bring that level of personal tech in for each kid and b) make any kid that doesn't have it feel unwelcome - Jennifer Dittrich

"Five patients who underwent surgery at a Cape Cod Hospital this summer may have been exposed to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease after their surgeries were performed using the same potentially contaminated medical equipment found in a New Hampshire hospital, according to a statement released by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health on Thursday." - Harold

That is so horrible :( - Jennifer Dittrich

"Come Early - Especially during warmer months, the animals are more active in the mornings when it is cooler. We suggest an early start for your visit. Be Comfortable - Check the day's weather forecast before you arrive and dress appropriately. We recommend dressing in layers — come with a jacket for the cooler morning that you can peel off as the day warms up. And comfortable shoes are a must! With 65 acres at the Zoo and an additional 3 acres at White River Gardens, you'll be on your feet most of the day." - Harold

We went early and things went well. Maxwell seemed pretty happy with things overall, especially anything that moved a lot and/or made a lot of noise. The flocks of parakeets and rainbow lorikeets in the aviary, for example, had him grinning and squawking along. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

"Creative way to save money by ditching those expensive diaper genie refills. I truly believe that the Diaper Genie is a great invention, I mean a simple garbage can that locks in the odor of a very smelly diaper, amazing! However, I'm not overly thrilled paying up to $12.99 per refill (or a pack of 3 for $24.99)." - Harold

"Food was okay. Expecting something better from the other reviews. The parking situation was kind of a mess. Valet guys were jerks. Try to find some place else to park." - Harold

"A small mammal with fluffy red-orange fur, a short bushy tail, and an adorable rounded face has leapt onto the raccoon family tree. Scientists at the Smithsonian in Washington announced Thursday the discovery of a new species of mammal called the olinguito (pronounced oh-lin-GHEE-toe). If you're a fan of long technical names, this one is Bassaricyon neblina. Such a discovery is rare. The olinguito is the first mammalian carnivore species to be newly identified in the Americas in 35 years, according to Kristofer Helgen, curator of mammals at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. His research group's study on the creature is being published in the journal ZooKeys." - Harold

In response, the raccoon family has said, "This is our tree, gtfo." - Meg VMeg

"On August 14, 1970, the Assistant Secretary of Health, Dr. Roger O. Egeberg wrote a letter recommending the plant, marijuana, be classified as a schedule 1 substance, and it has remained that way for nearly 45 years. My research started with a careful reading of that decades old letter. What I found was unsettling. Egeberg had carefully chosen his words: "Since there is still a considerable void in our knowledge of the plant and effects of the active drug contained in it, our recommendation is that marijuana be retained within schedule 1 at least until the completion of certain studies now underway to resolve the issue."" - Harold

"In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet's crime and poverty, and they critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium - but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens' luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission - one that pits him against Elysium's Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces - but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well." - Harold

"Summer is a good a time as any to explore Indiana’s scenic side. If you’re looking to spend a little time with nature, there’s no better place than Turkey Run State Park.
