Kinda think the trees should stay. I'm not really a fan of Tech's most recent building expansion where it seems they are just throwing up buildings anywhere they can possibly fit one like its a Tetris game

I read in the Collegiate Times that these trees are important to the environmental sciences department or something because they are old and are good for research? It's totally random; just figured I would play devil's advocate.

Some of my team members found this on one of the computers in our Ware Lab bay.

Virginia Tech football spring practice: A few high-profile recruits visit Hokies - Hokies Journal - The Washington Post

At the bottom you can move between each days articles. they are pretty good.

"On an unrelated note, if you’re a fan of helmets, the Hokies debuted a new camouflage helmet that will be worn against Bowling Green on Sep. 22 as part of military day at Lane Stadium. Here's a grainy photo of the helmet that I took on my cellphone."

Joe Paterno story. Some of the political agendas are kind of interesting.

In wake of Joe Paterno's death and Sandusky sex abuse scandal, a power struggle spread from Penn State to state capital - ESPN

Oh my god those tumblrs have ruined facebook. I realize the irony in that, but seriously so many of them aren't funny at all. Who else thinks it's a bitchy girl that's contributed most of them? Seems pretty obvious to me since the jokes are bad and only they would use the term "geed".

@46, this may be outside of your expertise but what can you tell me (that i cant find on google) about Lyme Disease? It seems to really be on the rise around here. I had never met anyone who had it until last year and have now ran across 10 or more local people with it.

I had it when I was in elementary school. Miserable stuff. I was sick for like 3 weeks

It originated in easter NY, probably as an accidental release from an Animal Disease Research laboratory on Plum Island. It has many levels of severity. Some people live with it and symptoms for a long time, while others never show symptoms but do test positive. IT is spread by deer ticks, so watch your dogs and kids after being out playing in the woods or being around animals.

I think some people who have it for years actually think they have rheumatoid arthritis. Lot's of joint complications. I would definately get tested for it if i was diagnosed with RA, if I hadn't been already.
