News From China - Vol. 2 No. 3
By Editorial Staff
Published April 22, 2008
In two years, the State Education Commission (SEC) will require students at all 1,065 Chinese universities to begin paying an annual fee of RMB 1000-1500 (approximately $120-180) depending on their exam scores. The government will continue to pay the majority of the current yearly costs of $1,000-1,200. The move is expected to help China's colleges out of a serious cash shortage. The number of university students has tripled since 1978 to 2.5 million, and funding from the government has not kept pace. The SEC also announced that college graduates will have more freedom to select their own jobs by the year 2000, although the state will still retain overall responsibility for assigning jobs. The government plans to set up a network of employment centers around the country. (CNCR)
AT&T Corp. said it plans to invest another $150 million in China by 1996 and to double its 1,000-strong work force within three years. The telephone giant recently signed contracts worth $150 million to supply equipment and services to southern Guangdong Province, the first part of a five-year $500 million agreement announced last fall. China plans to add 12 million to 15 million lines of capacity in 1994 and is expected to quicken the pace, AT&T Chairman Robert Allen said following a weeklong trip to China.
After a massacre by a deranged gunman in Beijing in which more than 30 people were wounded, a Western diplomat said, "Social upheaval is leading to this crime wave." A government official commented, "The security situation in many rural areas is chaotic. Crimes committed by gangs in the cities and towns are serious, and the populace does not feel safe."
China's government has pacified some Muslims in Xinjiang Province by subsidizing mosques and clerical salaries. In the last 20 years, 2,500 mosques have been built or repaired in Kashgar, home to 9,500 mosques, or about half of the province's total. About 62 percent of Xinjiang's 16 million people are Muslims.

A group of the world's largest companies recently voted China the top country for foreign investment. Nine out of ten firms, however, said possible political instability is a major deterrent to long-term investment. (South China Morning Post Weekly)
U.S. government officials have recently concluded that China and Israel are collaborating to develop and produce an improved fighter plane for the Chinese Air Force. Comparable to an American F-16, the new jet will be based on the "Lavi," a model that the U.S. once planned to help Israel build, but dropped because of mounting costs. The Chinese plane will incorporate extensive technological innovations derived from the Lavi project. China and Israel have already finished work on a prototype, and production will probably begin soon at a plant in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, according to U.S. officials. The plane's deployment is seen as a major step in Beijing's effort to modernize its air force. Some observers predict it could mean trouble for China's long-standing rival, Taiwan. (Los Angeles Times)
A telecommunications satellite that would have revolutionized Asia's television market broke into several huge pieces a minute after liftoff in late January, according to the Xinhua new agency. Chinese state television briefly broadcast live the liftoff of the Long March No. 2 rocket carrying the Apstar-2 satellite from the launch center in Xichang in southwest Sichuan Province. The satellite would have enabled broadcasters to reach two-thirds of the world's population. The failure was the second serious blow to China's satellite program. Last fall, a communications satellite failed to go into operation because of a fuel leak, according to People's Daily. The leak on board the Dong Fang Hong No. 3 satellite caused it to run out of fuel. (Xinhua, People's Daily)
Already in 250 million homes, MTV plans to start broadcasting in Mandarin in China. By the end of last year, MTV Asia delivered local programming to 18 countries in Asia. The new expansion will put MTV in more than 500 million homes. MTV already covers Japan, Europe, Brazil, and several Spanish-speaking countries. "Kids on the streets in Tokyo have more in common with the kids on the streets in London than they do with their parents," says MTV's owner, Sumner Redstone. "We're catching these kids at a stage in life when all kids are essentially the same, when they virtually have to rebel from their parents." (Pulse)
"Change in China will be both explosive and erratic," predicted Carol Lee Hamrin, senior U.S. research specialist on China at the U.S. Department of State and an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University. "Change in the political system is inevitable. In fact, it's been dangerously delayed by Deng Xiaoping's longevity." China's Asian neighbors, who are pouring billions into the mainland, worry about an explosion of inflation, joblessness, and social upheaval if things go badly. "China is at a critical stage," says Peter Bottelier of the World Bank's Beijing office. "What happens is important for China and, almost by definition now, the rest of the world." (Pulse)
U.S. military commanders planned nuclear strikes against China in 1954 to protect South Korea and French-ruled Indochina from aggression, according to documents released last December. The U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff formulated their plans in a previously classified April 17, 1954, memorandum titled "Analysis of Possible Courses of Actions in Korea." The memo was written 10 months after a June 26, 1953, truce brought an uneasy halt to the 1950-1953 Korean War in which Chinese and Soviet-backed North Korean forces invaded the south. Warren Cohen, an expert on U.S.-Chinese relations at the University of Maryland, said the Joint Chiefs' memo showed that the U.S. military did not want to fight another Korean-style limited war.
Chinese aircraft manufacturers are expected to make 20 planes for the U.S. aerospace company McDonnell Douglas Corp. by the end of the century. Four Chinese firms will collaborate on the MD-90-30, according to the China National Aviation Industry Corp. The Chengdu Aircraft Co. will make the nose, boarding gate, service gate, and stairs. (Xinhua News Agency)
Jason S. Berman, chief executive officer of the Recording Industry of America, showed pirated compact discs during talks with Chinese officials in Beijing on intellectual property rights. Pirated discs and tapes are those that are illegally copied. Berman bought the pirated discs for $1.50 each, far below the normal price. He said the piracy of U.S. goods in China is costing American companies millions of dollars in lost trade.
A six-person delegation from the China State Planning Commission visited eight cities in the U.S. in January to explore new markets. The Commission, which approves all major economic projects in the U.S., studied the American economy looking for ways to promote business between the two countries, according to Hejin Bai, deputy secretary general of the Commission.
China has introduced tougher fines for employers who exploit their workers or force them to work overtime in order to survive in the stiffer competitive environment spawned by reforms. A code accompanying China's first labor law allows employers to be fined $12 for each extra hour an employee is forced to work. They face a $6,000 fine if industrial safety or hygiene installations are found below standard. (China Daily)
The Chinese economy remained "buoyant" in 1994, according to The Economist. Industrial output was up by 5.9 percent in November and by 28.1 percent throughout 1994. (Economist)
The Three Gorges Dam, a project of Premier Li Peng, costs $35 billion and will displace 1.3 million people. Observers have expressed serious doubts that the dam will effectively control flooding on the Yangtze River. (Far Eastern Economic Review)
Walt Disney Co. denied reports that the entertainment company is planning to build a theme park in China and said no negotiations are under way. The denial comes in the face of reports by Japan's Nikkei news service that Chinese officials visited Disney headquarters in California last year to discuss the project. The Nikkei report detailed Disney's plans for a Chinese theme park proposed for Guilin. Nikkei quoted Disney officials saying it could be completed by 1998 and would require an investment of $2 billion. The Nikkei report said negotiations with local authorities are almost complete but the company is waiting for clearance from the central government. It added that the site would occupy more than four square miles and would include an airport. (Orlando Sentinel)
Xiao Rong, daughter of Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, has written a book, My Father Deng Xiao-ping. She was recently in the U.S. promoting sales of the book. (Time)
The modern technology of ultrasound, which can determine the sex of a baby in the womb, is being used indirectly to kill many baby girls in China. Many families want only boys, and each year millions of women undergo abortions to kill baby girls. When abortion fails, infant girls are sometimes abandoned to die. Some observers fear a massive shortage of wives for a hundred million Chinese men within the next few years. Abortion is also unsafe for women. A Chinese physician who opposes abortion for medical reasons said, "The government is injuring millions of women this way." (Sing Tao Jih Pao, Rutherford Institute)
The Chinese legislature has passed a controversial new law to control marriage and births. It was originally proposed in 1993 and caused widespread international criticism and comparison to policies pursued by Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. The new law aims to prevent those with serious mental disabilities or contagious diseases from marrying or having children, and states that "abnormal" fetuses and those carrying hereditary diseases should be aborted. Xinhua commented that China has more than 10 million disabled people "whose births could have been prevented if such a law had been in effect when their parents were marrying or having children." (CNCR)
Beijing has announced a broad ban on cigarette advertising, which will affect television, radio, newspapers, magazine, and cinema. International tobacco companies say they can still make money in this lucrative market by sponsoring special events and broadcasts. Marlboro, for example, sponsors the 12 teams of China's national soccer league as well as music programs on radio and TV. Britain's B.A.T Industries, whose 555 brand cigarette is perhaps the best-known foreign brand in China, sponsors sporting events such as the Hong Kong-to-Beijing Motor Rally and also gives money to schools through an education foundation. The ban, which was to go into effect in February, also requires tobacco companies to put health warnings on advertisements. An estimated 500,000 people a year die of smoking-related illness in China, and the Chinese Academy for Preventive Medicine estimates health costs related to smoking were $3.3 billion in 1989. China's 300 million smokers consume 1.8 trillion cigarettes a year. (Wall Street Journal)
A German expedition team has become the first to ever cross the center of the Gobi Desert. Previous teams have gone only to the edge of the desert. Leader Bruno Baumann said the 15-member team encountered sand mountains as high as 1,320 feet. The 21-day expedition, which cost $35,000, included five other Europeans, four Chinese guides, five camel drivers, and 30 camels.
China's population was predicted to reach 1.2 billion by the end of last year, earlier than expected. By 2000, it may top 1.3 billion, with 1 billion in rural and farming areas. By then, the number of unemployed or not fully employed could reach 20%. (Ming Pao)
Chinese authorities broke up more than 150,000 criminal gangs during 1993, and will soon target organized crime with national anti-Triad laws. (South China Morning Post Weekly)
"Imperial Tombs of China," a massive exhibition featuring 250 artifacts spanning 24 centuries of China's history, will debut in April in Memphis, Tennessee. The treasures will then tour U.S. cities including Provo, Utah; Portland, Oregon, and Denver, Colorado. Other cities, including Orlando, Florida, are currently negotiating to have the exhibition displayed at their museums. Among the artifacts in the exhibition are a crown fitted with 100 jewels and 2,000 pearls, a burial shroud made of 2,000 pieces of jade, and a complete throne room from a palace. Approximately 65 percent of the exhibition's pieces are rated by the Chinese government as national treasures.
The first research institute devoted to issues of morality and culture has been set up in Beijing. The Beijing Eastern Morality Research Institute, which is headquartered at the Beijing Youth Politics College, will explore how to educate the nation's youth in traditional Chinese morality. (Ming Pao)
Even as the West revels in the spread of market economics worldwide, some geopolitical analysts see trouble ahead. Vast job dislocations, including in China, threaten stability and economic growth. Environmental stresses are expected to become acute in China, India, and southeast Asia. In China, for example, the city of Tianjin is sinking 2.5 meters a year as its groundwater is depleted. Due to smog, Benxi is invisible to satellite cameras. (Pulse)
1995 is the year of state-enterprise reform in China. The designation is intended, among other goals, to stop inflation, which is China's biggest economic and social worry. "We are not going to waste scarce resources on the production of useless goods," said Wang Youwei, deputy mayor of Dalian, after sending home 50,000 workers because production at their factories was suspended. The Economist predicts 1995 will also "be the year of trouble in the state sector." (Economist)
In 1993, a record 909,000 couples in China obtained divorces — three times more than in 1991. (CATW)
China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew nearly 12 percent in 1994 to $509 billion. According to Time, the economy has become dangerously overheated, despite admission by Marxist stalwarts that economic liberalization has saved China from the fate of the defunct Soviet bloc. (Time)
Kentucky Fried Chicken, which opened its first restaurant in China in 1987, believes that China will be one of its 10 largest markets within ten years. In 20 years, it could be the largest market. The company currently operates in 71 countries. (Rutherford Institute)

Dr. Francis Schaeffer - A Christian Manifesto (DVD)
That Swiss Hermit Strikes Again!
Dr. Schaeffer, who was one of the most influential Christian thinkers in the twentieth century, shows that secular humanism has displaced the Judeo-Christian consensus that once defined our nation's moral boundaries. Law, education, and medicine have all been reshaped for the worse as a consequence. America's dominant worldview changed, Schaeffer charges, when Christians weren't looking.
Schaeffer lists two reasons for evangelical indifference: a false concept of spirituality and fear. He calls on believers to stand against the tyranny and moral chaos that come when humanism reigns-and warns that believers may, at some point, be forced to make the hard choice between obeying God or Caesar. A Christian Manifesto is a thought-provoking and bracing Christian analysis of American culture and the obligation Christians have to engage the culture with the claims of Christ.

Elderly, Childless Say Tax-Credit Plan Unfair
WHO COULD object to a tax credit for children? People without children, that's who. The childless, elderly and divorced are lining up to ask, "Where's ours?"
WASHINGTON - From almost any angle, the Republicans' proposed $500-per-child tax credit looks like a sure-fire crowd pleaser. But there's an undercurrent of discontent.
Although some lawmakers would rather cut the budget deficit or want lower-income eligibility caps, no one has doubted the credit's popularity.
However, resentment simmers among those left out. They include childless taxpayers, parents of children too old to qualify and divorced parents without custody.
"I do not have a chance to claim any exemptions, being single," Emerald Star of Hendersonville, Tenn., said in a letter to a GOP tax-reform commission. "I have been working since I was 15 to support myself and frankly am sick of `families' receiving aid."
Most taxpayers won't qualify
In fact, she represents the majority of taxpayers. Only 29 million households would get the credit, shifting some of the tax burden onto the other 86 million households.
The National Commission on Economic Growth and Tax Reform, headed by former Housing Secretary Jack Kemp, solicited letters in Money magazine and in other forums. Most focus on the long-range issue before the commission: whether a flat-rate income tax or a consumption tax should replace the current system. But many writers also commented on this year's legislation, which includes the credit.
Earlier this year, President Clinton proposed his own per-child credit. So some form of it seems to have the best chance of any tax provision to survive negotiations between the administration and Congress. But, whatever the outcome, not everyone will be happy.
"Do not limit the $500 tax credit to just families," wrote Wayne Wealer of Newport, Ore. "Retirees and all other middle-class taxpayers need tax relief as well. Taxation is putting us all in the poorhouse."
John Mallah, a Miami Beach attorney and president of the Association of Separated American Parents, said divorced parents without custody deserve the credit, as well as "Ozzie-and-Harriet" families.
"We want to provide for our children. . . . Unfortunately, we are often prevented from doing so because of our diminished living standard," he said.
Some, such as Joyce Ball of Danville, Ill., agreed with the Republican push to funnel tax relief to parents, above the current $2,450 exemption for dependents. "Who can raise a child on $2,450 a year?" she asked.
But others want stricter limits.
"A change . . . to allow a deduction for only one or two children would be an incentive to produce less children," wrote Fred Chapman of Virginia Beach, Va.
And Delores Smith, a biofeedback and stress-management therapist in Twin Falls, Idaho, said parents should pay higher taxes.
"Those with more children utilize more services and hence should be taxed more heavily, rather than given a tax break," she wrote.
Most young singles don't vote
GOP aides involved in drafting the Contract with America said legislators never considered the credit could have a political downside. And, despite the letter writers' complaints, analysts doubt it will.
"Most of the people who aren't getting the tax cut . . . are young single people. They're generally the most politically inactive group in the country," said J.D. Foster, executive director of the Tax Foundation, a business-financed research organization.
But tax lobbyist Clint Stretch of the Deloitte-Touche accounting firm said parents of children now in high school, who would lose the credit in a few years, may soon want it expanded.
One of the leading advocates of the tax credit, Rep. John Doolittle, R-Calif., said the people complaining about cutting taxes for families probably also are complaining about juvenile crime and drug abuse.
"If we don't reinvigorate the American family with a mom and dad in the home, then we're going to lose the battle," he said.
But that rationale doesn't carry weight with the disgruntled.
"I don't have a problem paying town taxes to educate the children, but I do have a problem paying my hard-earned money for people who don't want to work but just want to stay home and have babies," wrote Patricia Van Horne of Skowhegan, Maine.
The proposals.
The Republican proposal is embroiled in budget talks between Congress and the White House. A $500 credit for each child younger than 18 would go to single parents earning as much as $75,000 a year and couples earning as much as $110,000. The final House-Senate compromise envisions a partial, $125-per-child tax cut for 1995.
The Clinton administration proposes a tax credit for families with children younger than 13. The plan would increase the benefit to $500 by 1999 and limit it for those earning more than $60,000 a year.

If we check Yani tseng a player who won a lot and then decided to change her swing.
At the top her left hip stays back it means her turn do the old X factor stretch thing. Her stance is a bit wide.
Half way down she has turned her pelvis and this causes a lot of issues next. Her left side has no room so she needs to stand up at impact.
The drill her swing guru Gilchrest had her do was a pin behind the head to make the head to stop moving.
It's a bad idea.
If you have your trainer do that they then don't understand body mechanics and the golf swing.
Her main issues are, standing up at impact, turning the pelvis to early all causing inconsistency and timing problems.
She could start doing such as this
More athletic, longer, accurate and fun.
Side by side we can understand that letting the left side tag along you end up with a more natural top position. While Hans isnt bending his left knee and raising his left heel as much as for example Nicklaus or Austin its better than what he used to do as keeping the left heel down is a bad idea.
The main difference is here, while Yani already has turned her pelvis applying slice mechanics, Hans haven't yet turned his pelvis.
Hans can add speed here without effort, Yani will be forced to even have the ball in fairway and more fight her off fairway hits instead of going for it.
The difference of swing theory models and what I do as a model is mine are based on what people actually do in this case Mike Austin as he is the role model for us. To have accuracy you need margin for error in your swing integrity or else you fight your positions and mechanics and your athletic instinct.
Utilizing your natural instincts isn't a natural act of itself, you will apply it for a golf swing for sure but the way our brain works and body moves this will cause slice mechanics for the amateur and hook for a tour pro. Making the body move more naturally athletically with instinct adapted for the body bio mechanics of a golf swing allows you to increase distance and create better accuracy as your margin for error increases.
Yani would add 40 yards maybe more with such a swing model I propose while increasing accuracy.
Ask yourself – if your left side is going up at impact are you then able to create more force easier than if its going down at impact>? If your body is compressing and going up is that easier to create more force?
The answer is no.
Swing theory is doubtful as a good way to make you play consistent golf. It will likely ruin your career. I feel sorry for Yani but the way the golf tour works only those that do what people believe in not what actually produce a better result for them. The golf swing isn't a magic ticket to win Majors but removing it as a variable for your performance seems the way to go.

Latest Headlines
Massachusetts overpaid hospitals for the Medicaid electronic health record incentive program by $2.1 million over a two-year period from 2011 through the end of 2012, according to a new rep ort from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.
As the editor of FierceEMR, I spend a lot of time reviewing the Meaningful Use program--and too often find problems with it. It's not that I'm going out of my way to criticize the program or the agencies that operate it, but unfortunately they make it all too easy. Still, there also are several reasons to be thankful for the program.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has taken yet another measure to throw a lifeline to providers struggling with Meaningful Use attestation, this time extending the attestation deadline for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals for the 2014 reporting year to Dec. 31, 2014.
Providers, apparently tired of waiting for vendors or the government to help foster data exchange, are taking matters into their own hands and designing their own solutions to achieve interoperability.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has updated its handbook on health information exchange assessment to help those involved in HIE development.
Patient portals being developed by health information exchanges so far have focused on helping providers attest to Meaningful Use, but must focus on the value to the patient to achieve widespread adoption, according to an article at the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
While healthcare systems and general practitioners get much of the attention when it comes to undergoing Meaningful Use audits, radiologists should be prepared to come under the same scrutiny, as well.
Meaningful Use is supposed be, well, meaningful. But sometimes what's good in theory doesn't translate very well in practice.
Joe White, former chief financial officer at Tyler, Texas-based Shelby Regional Medical Center, pleaded guilty Nov. 12 to making a false statement to the government in order to obtain incentive payments under the Medicare Meaning Use program.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) has once again identified the meaningful and secure exchange and use of electronic health information as one of the 10 biggest management and performance challenges facing HHS in the coming year, according to its latest report.

One big happy family! The Real Housewives put aside the cat fights and come together from all across America to celebrate Aviva Drescher's birthday
They reside in different metropolitan areas.
But on Monday, a few of Bravo's Real Housewives had two reasons to unite.
Celebrating the launch of OK! TV and The Real Housewives Of New York's Aviva Drescher birthday, fellow housewives Marysol Patton, Alexia Echevarria, Teresa Giudice, and Adriana De Moura, made a special appearance at Lavo in New York City.
Happy birthday! Marysol Patton, far left, Alexia Echevarria, middle, Teresa Giudice, second right, and Adriana De Moura, far right, joined Aviva Drescher, second left, to celebrate her birthday
Happy housewives: The Real Housewives stars stuck together as they attended the launch party of OK! TV at Lavo in New York City on Monday
Dressed to impress, as it is New York
Fashion Week after all, The Real Housewives Of Miami's Marysol, Alexia, and
Adriana opted to shine bright in shimmering ensembles.
Marysol showed her curves in a plunging bronze jumper that she spruced up with a simple waist belt.
Meanwhile, Alexia wore a sleeveless, knee-length, gunmetal dress, as Adriana sported a light silver drop-waist number.
Standing out: The birthday girl made a statement with a bright red maxi dress
Birthday girl Aviva stood out in a bright red maxi dress, as Real Housewives Of New Jersey's Teresa kept it simple in a lacy, black-and-white peplum frock.
But it appeared as though all five reality stars relished in the wish-making process, joining the mother-of-four to blow out her candles as they huddled around her ginormous gold cake.
'Birthday fun with @Teresa_Giudice, @AlexiaE_says, @MarysolPatton & @adrianathereal at @OKTVUSA launch. #girlfriends,' the 43-year-old tweeted.
Giudice sandwich! NeNe Leakes posed between Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe Giudice, left
Real Housewives Of Atlanta's NeNe Leakes was also in attendance, later seen posing alongside Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice, who are currently facing long prison sentences for fraud.
NeNe opted for a simple ensemble, wearing a low-cut black dress and silver shoes.
And Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham was spotted at the event, appearing much classier than usual.
the MTV star - who is known for stripping down - arrived in a conservative, bright red peplum dress.
Look who it is: Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham also attended the OK! Magazine event

In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this? Where did Twitter go wrong, and, more importantly, what can it do to right the ship and recruit new users?

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been given 14 days to challenge a ruling that would send him back to Sweden to face sexual assault and rape charges, according to The Guardian. The central point Assange's attorney's must challenge would be the interpretation of international treaties determining if a public prosecutor can be considered a "judicial authority" which would make Assange's arrest warrant lawful. If it is determined that a public prosecutor is not a judicial authority, Assange might not face extradition.
The court ruled against Assange by a five to two vote. This is the first time the Supreme Court in the UK will hear a challenge from a ruling it handed down.

A Father's Day tale: Son fulfills promise to give dad his dream car for 57th birthday
Jun 9, 2014, 6:34 PM EST
While this isn't a motorsports story per se, it still is a car story.
And let's face it, racers and even non-racers like you and I are first and foremost car guys or car girls.
How many racers wanted to get into NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA or other motorsports series after watching a hot car parked in a lot or roaring down the street or freeway?
And find me a racer who doesn't have a favorite street car of all-time.
You won't.
That's why this story, just in time for Father's Day, is so heartwarming. Be forewarned: you might want to have a Kleenex handy when you watch the video, which has already garnered nearly 10 million YouTube views in a little over a week.
So as the story goes, nearly three decades ago, 8-year-old Mike King promised his dad Roger that somehow, someway, he'd get his father's dream car, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air for his dad's 57th birthday.
Roger likely forget about his son's promise, "but I never forgot," Mike said in a post on Reddit.com. They'd even spend tons of quality time over the years looking at photos of the Bel-Air and other cars in magazines and books. It was their favorite way to spend time together.
(This is where you'll likely start getting a lump in your throat.)
So after years of searching, Mike found just the right Bel-Air a couple of years ago in New Hampshire and brought it back to his Louisville home, where it sat in the garage until recently.
During their many get-togethers, invariably talking about the Bel-Air dream, Mike would secretly show Roger photos of what would soon be his car.
"We would talk about older vehicles so to gauge how much he would enjoy it, etc.," Mike King wrote. "I would show him pictures of it from the listing I found, unknown to him that it would actually be his one day.
"He would get so excited and talk about owning something like that but that he 'knew he never would be able to.' Little did he know…"
Mike went on to say in his post:
"My dad has been everything to me, he is not my biological father but he IS my father. But this man in this video, my DAD my FATHER, was the best thing that ever happened to me and my mom and I hope I can be a fraction of the man that he is. My real father abandoned me and my mother when I was a child."
So when Roger's 57th birthday came around, the party was at Mike's house.
It was in full swing when, while Roger was distracted to help fix a game board on Mike's driveway, the younger King surreptitiously opened the garage overhead door.
When Mike's sister told Roger that a part to fix the game was in the garage, Roger looked up and saw his dream car live and in-person.
(Trust me, it's time to grab the Kleenex.)
The look on Roger's face and his reaction are priceless.
But rather than us trying to describe it even more, click here to read Mike's relating of the story, and then look at the video below, or watch the video first and then read the post. Either way, if a picture tells a thousand words, the video tells a million.
Lastly, great job, Mike. You outdid yourself as a son.
And to Roger, Happy Father's Day, happy belated birthday and we hope you have many years of happiness with your dream car. You're the envy of dad's everywhere.

Hi I am a user of Windows 7 and I have a HUGE problem. I think my computer is infected with a virus because whenever I boot now, there is an automatic scan running and the computer tells me that it's infected. Also, I can't run any program files on my computer. When I try to go on firefox or explorer, there is just a circle around my cursor for a few seconds and the program doesn't load at all. Same goes for Microsoft Word and other executable programs. What happens in the task manager at that time when I open a program is that a thing named "rxb.exe *32" appears and it seems to be blocking the running of my program. Even though I think it's a virus, I didn't install any vaccines and even though I had, it couldn't open the program

I'm sure they simply looked at the research of how well their car industry was doing and decided to come up with any reason to persuade people to buy new cars.
Diesel is a great fuel to use, very efficient, and the modern engines are not the oil-burners of the past, coupled with the catalytic converters in the exhaust, its often said the emissions are cleaner than the surrounding air in many cities. Certainly, diesel engines are cleaner than petrol ones, and if you consider the biodiesel that many are part running on (I understand the USA runs B20 diesel anyway - that's 20% biodiesel mix in all diesel fuel), even cleaner.

SALT LAKE CITY — A second-grade teacher at Washington Elementary School wanted to know which of her students had been writing a swear word all over the classroom.
So she asked some of her students to write the word out for her so she could compare handwriting samples.
Bridgette Barrowes volunteers in her second grade son's class, and she was aware that someone was writing the F-word all over the classroom. She said it carried on for two months.
The "dirtiest of all words" was scrawled on textbooks and walls, and the teacher just wanted to get to the bottom of it, Barrowes said. The teacher suspected one of the boys, so she kept all the male students inside from recess on March 20, and asked them to write what they thought the F-word was.
The teacher didn't spell it out herself, said Salt Lake City School District spokesman Jason Olsen.
"The teacher immediately realized that this is not the way she should have handled the situation and immediately told the principal and office what had happened," Olsen said.
The teacher's approach was called "inappropriate" by the principal, the district and a parent whose son took part in the "exercise." Her superiors said they have reprimanded her.
"I don't think she'll ever do this again, but I support her," Barrowes said. "She didn't mean to do any harm. As a mother, I would have done the same thing."
Olsen said the teacher herself called the parents to apologize, as did Principal Rebecca Pittam.
The teacher expressed great remorse, said Barrowes, adding that she was grateful that she came forward on her own to take ownership of the mistake.
"She's a great teacher; I'd like to see her do the job she's always done," she said. "She needs to pay attention to those children whom she calls her own."
Barrowes said the culprit has not been caught, but fortunately, the profane graffiti has stopped. School officials would not say whether the teacher had been taken out of the classroom.

A young nurse with brown hair and a tired expression drove home
A young nurse with brown hair and a tired expression drove home from a long day of work. "Another day completed at 'the Clinic from Hell,'" she thought wearily. "Nicole, what you need is some t.l.c. after today." Images of crying children, impatient parents and doctors, endless paperwork, a missed lunch, and all too brief periods of sitting down flashed through her mind. Her back hurt and her size 8 feet ached, despite wearing padded nurses' shoes. "All I want is a warm bath and some quiet."Nicole pulled up to her apartment, and went inside. She'd just settled down on her plush couch, when she heard the doorbell ring. She sighed, then yelled, "Who is it?" A man's voice replied, "Troy." Nicole thought for a second, then realized, "Oh, NO! We're supposed to go out this evening!" Nicole had met Troy on the Internet, and after chatting for a while, met him in person at a local coffee shop. They got along quite well, joking and laughing, so Nicole agreed to go out on a date with him...TONIGHT! She bolted upright and tried to straighten out her outfit. Nicole opened the front door, thinking about their conversations. They both loved tickling and had quick wits. They'd traded many barbs and laughs and were looking forward to seeing how they'd get along, and now she'd probably have to postpone or cancel because she worked for a friend who was, ironically, sick. Nicole saw a tall man, with brown hair and eyes, a mischevious smile, basically a big teddy bear. He had a grey suit with a silver and teal tie, ready for a night out. He grinned and said, "Good evening, Nicole! These are for you." He handed her some red roses in a big bouquet. She smiled and replied, "Thank you. Come in, please." Nicole ushered him in, and they sat on the couch. Troy took in the sight of Nicole in her nurse's uniform and said, "I'm not early, am I?" She shook her head and said, "No, I just...well, I completely forgot about tonight. I had to cover for a friend at work and I've been run ragged." Nicole lowered her eyes and ventured, "I guess I'll have to cancel tonight." Troy smiled and said, "That's okay. It happens." Nicole looked up, making sure that it was really okay, then said, "Thanks for being so understanding, Troy." He laughed, then suggested, "Listen, how about I help you relax? I've only bragged about how I give massages about a million times." Nicole paused, thinking, "I've only met him a few times! But...I could REALLY use that massage..." She spoke up, "All right, Troy, what first?" He lifted her legs from the floor, laying her feet on his lap. His fingers deftly untied the laces and slowly removed the shoes one at a time, making that soft suction sound of shoes removed from nyloned feet. Troy took her right foot into his hands, using the left to bend the toes back and forth, while his right thumb rubbed all up and down her instep and sole. Nicole leaned back, savoring the warmth of his hands, kneading the tension out of her tired foot. Troy took both hands and began to massage each toe individually, flooding it with relief from the day's work and cramped space. Nicole sighed deeply, enjoying every stroke and rub. After about 20 minutes on her right foot, he set it down and began to do the same to the left foot. Troy used the heel of his right hand to firmly rub up and down the sole, relieving pressure and fatigue. He bent the toes forward and back, to limber them up, then massaged each of these toes. He grinned as he saw the peaceful look on Nicole's face and the wide smile there. After another 20 minutes or so on that foot, Troy said, "Now, turn over and I'll do your back." Nicole gladly complied, laying face down on the couch. He moved to sit beside her hips, then put his hands on her lower back. Troy worked his thumbs around the muscles of her lower back, fighting the tension that had built up all week. Nicole grunted a few times, then relaxed as the knots began to loosen. Troy then moved up and down along her spine, tracing lines of tension through her back. His big hands pressed firmly, but gently, over her back, eliciting groans of pleasure and relief from Nicole. "Is that okay, or should I stop?" Troy joked. "Stop and die," Nicole mumbled in reply. He took his palms and pressed down along the spine, then took his thumbs and rubbed along her shoulder blades, kneading the tensed flesh into submission. Nicole saw stars and felt wonderful. After another 15 minutes of this therapy, Troy got too close to Nicole's ribs, tickling her. She flinched and giggled, "Hee hee, cut it out! Just rub!" Troy got an evil look on his face, then with one hand, removed his handkerchief. He brought her arms onto her back, lightly looped the hanky around Nicole's wrists, then tightened it and tied a knot. Nicole snapped out of her massage-induced trance and said, "Hey! What're you doing?" She already had a pretty good idea, from the tickle talks they'd had before. Troy turned her over onto her back, her arms under her. "Remember how you told me you were REALLY ticklish and liked it, but hated to get into those situations?" Nicole nodded warily. "Well, you're in it now!" He poked both sides of her ribs, making her jump and squeal. "Heeheeheee! Now, wait a minute! Can't we discuss this?" Troy paused, then said mock-seriously, "I don't think so!" Troy began to play Nicole's ribs like piano keys, playing up and down both sides, varying light and harder prodding. She began to buck and giggle uncontrollably. "Haahaahaaa! Noo-ho-hoooo! No fair! Heeeheee!" "Let's see, your stomach's ticklish, too, right?" Troy played his fingers over it, eliciting more laughter. "Ahhh-haahaaaaaa! I'll get you-hoo-hoo! Heeeheeehaaaaaa!" Troy continued, "I think these underarms are sensitive, too." His finges darted along the inner hollows of her underarms, caressing her ticklish flesh. "AHHH! Ple-hee-hee-ease, no mo-hoo-ore! Haaaahaaahaaaa! Heeeheeeheeeee!" Troy continued his assault until Nicole got a little tired. While she rested, he removed his tie and bound her ankles together, then moved her legs onto his lap with one of his legs on top, holding them still. Nicole threatened him, "You'd better quit now!" Troy replied, "Or what?" She smiled, trying to think of a threat. He shrugged and said, "Time's up! Let's see, hips are ticklish, right Nicole?" Her eyes grew wide and she yelled, "No!" He tickled all over her hips and waist, causing her to thrash, unable to escape. "Kitchie coo, Nicole! Isums ticklish, hmm?" She issued a steady stream of laughter, mixed with pleading and threats. "Heeeheeheehaaa! St-haa-haaa-opppp! Please! Hooohooohooooo! My friends wi-heh-ll get you! HeeeheeeeeHEEEEE! HAAAAHAAAA!" Her voice grew hoarse from laughter. Nicole felt almost overwhelmed by the wonderful tickling sensations. While she was helplessly laughing, Troy switched legs so he was down near her nylon covered feet. She realized this and immediately yelled, "NOOO! Not my FEET! Tickle me anywhere but there!" It would be even worse, she knew, with her nylons still on. They magnified tickling to new torturous heights. Troy lightly fingered her left foot, tracing underneath her toes. "Not here?" he taunted. "HAAAHAAHAAAA! HEEEHEEEHEEEEE! AHHHHH-HAAHAAA!" Nicole released even more laughter and volume. The tickling was GREAT, yet mind-blowing at the same time! "NOOO! HEEHEEEE! PLEASE! HOOOHOOOHOOO!" "Since you said 'please,'" Troy said, "I'll tickler HARDER!" He then dug all ten fingers into her vulnerable, super-sensitive feet, tickling the insteps, inbetween toes, on the tops and on the heels. "WHA-HAAAHAAA! HEEEEEHOOOO! HEE-HELLP! AHHHHH! HEEEHEEEHEEEEEE!" Nicole bounced up and down on the couch, enjoying every ticklish moment. It had been awhile since she'd been tickled this much. Troy also enjoyed every laugh, giggle, and scream from her. He stopped for a minute, and Nicole kept giggling even after he stopped. "Heeheee, haaahaaa, I'll g-ge-heh-tt even. Hoohooo!" she managed. Troy released the bound ankles and began to massage the feet again. Nicole calmed down, enjoying the fading tickling sensations, coupled with the massage pleasure. Troy smiled and said, "I hope you're not mad." Nicole leaned up and rested her head on his shoulder. "I really needed that today, Troy. Thanks a LOT!" He blushed slightly and stammered, "Well, uh, I guess I should get going." She replied, "Just one last thing..." He gulped and said, "Yes?" She turned around, showing her still bound hands. "Untie me?" They both laughed and he freed her. She walked him to the door and gave him a quick hug. "I'll let you know when I'm ready for sure next time, Troy." "Sounds great, Nicole," he said. She watched him walk to his car, then yelled, "Tomorrow, 6 p.m. sharp!"
