The introduction of the iPad on Wednesday by Apple CEO Steve Jobs struck a much-needed chord of ingenuity and enthusiasm into the moribund days of a particularly dreary winter. It had been rumored that the iPad would sell for $1,000, but the tablet-style iPad will start at half that price, $499. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/COXNewspapers/Audio/GJSentinel/gjsentinel_news_opinion_stories_2010_01_28_012910_4A_iPAd_edit.mp3 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:37:03 GMT Apple's iPad: An app for economic recovery? no clean 3:35 The Daily Sentinel apples,ipad,app,economic,recovery 11142907 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/gjsentinel_news_opinion_stories_2010_01_28_012910_4A_Free_and_reduced.mp3?TC=11142907&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/COXNewspapers/Audio/GJSentinel/gjsentinel_news_opinion_stories_2010_01_28_012910_4A_Free_and_reduced.mp3 Of all the statistics that have been thrown about in the economic downturn, from falling rig counts to falling employment numbers, there is one number that stands out. That 45 percent of the 21,000 students enrolled in School District 51 are eligible for free-or-reduced cost lunch program is a stunning, and disturbing, statistic. Even worse, it seems to be a trend. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/COXNewspapers/Audio/GJSentinel/gjsentinel_news_opinion_stories_2010_01_28_012910_4A_Free_and_reduced.mp3 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:36:32 GMT A true sign of the economic times no clean 2:15 The Daily Sentinel true,sign,economic,times 11142908 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/gjsentinel_news_opinion_stories_2010_01_28_012710_FD_Wine_Col.mp3?TC=11142908&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/COXNewspapers/Audio/GJSentinel/gjsentinel_news_opinion_stories_2010_01_28_012710_FD_Wine_Col.mp3 Last Thursday, I slipped into the annual meeting of the Western Colorado Horticultural Society, which really is more interesting than it sounds.

Politicians have been attacking them pretty steadily for a year now, unless you and 're a big union or a financial institution with former employees working in the Obama administration, and things just got worse.
