While the February 2012 sales report from Chrysler reported a whopping 40% improvement over the same month last year, there was some sad news on the company report – there was not a single Dodge Viper sold in the month of February. I did some digging through company records and I was unable to find …

It's clear Fiat wants its high-performance 500 Abarth to have a dark, sinister reputation. So landing womanizing, hard-partying actor Charlie Sheen for the campaign is a coup that'll certainly garner attention for the sexy Italian hot hatch.

Penske Racing is the only major multicar team left in the NASCAR Sprint Cup with the #2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger of Brad Keselowski and the #22 Shell/Pennzoil Charger driven by AJ Allmendinger but team owner Roger Penske announced today that his team would be leaving Dodge to run a Ford Fusion in 2013.

When the 54th running of the Daytona 500 finally got underway after a day of delays due to hard rains, three Dodge Charger stock cars were in the 43 car field. And when the checkered flag waved, none had managed to finish better than 32nd. The three teams that managed to qualify for the 2012 …

"Gave Me a Headache"
Pathfinder: Book 1 was entertaining and Orson Scott Card is rich and famous because he is a good author. Ruins: Pathfinder Book 2 was less interesting because the characters were constantly arguing with each other. I can visit my Brother and Sister if I want to hear screaming, pouting and lying. No need to use a credit when the real thing is free.
"A New, Talented Author"
Mitchell Hogan could make mowing the grass sound exciting and memorable. There were some tense moments that had me up late at night and the magic elements were unique. Sure, there were too many characters and the book was somewhat repetitive, but does not detract from a solid narrative.
"An Engaging Sci-Fi Mystery"
In the near future, a malicious virus sweeps through the US and leaves some of the victims bed ridden, connected to feeding tubes and have their diapers changed by caretakers. While this may sound depressing, the victims have neural networks installed in their brains which allow them to control an android. As a robot, they are able to lead relatively normal lives, well except for not being able to feel, taste or smell.
The book follows one victim who lives in Washington DC and has just joined the FBI. On the first day of work the agent is assigned to a murder case with tentacles throughout the city.
I chose to listen to the Amber Benson version because she is an actor, author and is gaining the reputation as a talented narrator. Rarely have I heard someone with so many distinct voices and able to maintain the voice throughout the book.
"Political Intrigue Meets Bizarre Fantasy"
This book delivers on the promise of blood, and if I could have been a character in the book, it would have been as the owner of a funeral home. After the government is overthrown, all former officials and civic leaders had their heads lopped off (Cha-Ching). Next, a civil war breaks out which leads to more burials (as in more Cha-Ching). Then a neighboring country declares war and the bodies pile up (Cha-Ching Cha-Ching).
But, the book is at its best when describing the unusual powers in this fantasy world. Some people sniff gun powder which gives them the power to guide bullets while in flight to hit their target while others use magical gloves to smash buildings. Most unusual was a deity who uses his cooking skills to bend others to his will.
"I Bought, I Listened, I Finished"
Every March 15 I think about Julius Caesar, but since I only have a few thoughts, I decided that a 25 hour book would fill some gaps. As expected, it's jam-packed with military battles and the political intrigue of the Roman Senate. But this book also shares details that left me in shock. For example, there was the widespread practice among Roman Senators of seducing a rival's wife to gain a political advantage. Also, as a demonstration of leniency following a bloody battle, to cut off the hands of the defeated army and setting the soldiers free. I was also surprised by Caesar and Cleopatra's motivations for becoming friends with benefits. And finally, the narration is delivered with an academic voice that frequently reminds us that demeaning, mutilating and using others was very acceptable in the ancient world.
"Almost Missed A Great Book"
Originally I skipped this book because the publisher's description led me to believe this was just another story about slaves on Mars working for the man. Instead, the publisher should have summarized "Red Rising" as a dark, violent coming of age Sci Fi thriller that builds on George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and "Nineteen Eighty Four".
Now I am late to the party and trying to excuse myself. Somebody needs to yell at the publisher!
A maniacal villain is planning to cleanse the world of everyone he dislikes, which is almost all of us. The book's hero would like to stop him. Expect action, tense moments and difficulty turning the story off when it's time for work or bed.
The author reminds me of Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, The Lost World, etc.). The book is packed with interesting science facts and the author's views on religion, government, taxes, torture and comic book heroes.
"Mixed Feelings"
A coming of age book that includes intense space battles and high tech cloak and dagger. Unfortunately for me, the storyline also includes first love. I did enjoy that she broke his nose during their first argument.
This is a series, but uncertain that I am motivated enough to continue.
"Not Laughing"
I have a weakness for parodies and other laugh out loud Sci-Fi books. A few of my favorites are "Jane Carver of Waar", "Redshirts" and "Hard Luck Hank: Screw the Galaxy". The "Willful Child" will not be joining this esteemed list of classic literature. I liked the high-tech gadgets and that the ship's crew was selected based on their photographs. But, this book seems more like a novel about Zapp Brannigan (Futurama) than a parody of James T Kirk from the original Star Trek series. The Willful Child's captain is arrogant, condescending, racist, sexist and stupid. Hard to like someone who reminds me of a US Senator.
"Glad That I Made Time For This Book"
In the distant future, Humans have reached the golden age. Many have relocated to a distant solar system and built 10,000 artificial habitats which are designed to fulfill a fantasy or provide access to a unique lifestyle. An innocuous computer program error sets events in motion that, if unchecked, will lead to the genocide of humanity in this futuristic Garden of Eden. A detective (prefect) with the single minded purpose to bring justice to those who break the law is determined to track down those who are responsible. But can he succeed against a mind that is vastly more intelligent?
Published in 2007, this was one of my favorite books of 2014. There is action, intrigue, twists and a villain who is meant to be hated. And, as always with Alastair Reynolds, technology that I wish I could purchase at Amazon. While part of the "Revelation Space" series, it is a stand-alone book and covers events that precede other books in the series.
"Another Excellent Book By Peter Hamilton"
The "Abyss Beyond Dreams" reminds me why I listen to Science Fiction. When faced with the certain destruction of their civilization and the Milky-Way Galaxy, the Commonwealth quickly clones one of their two most influential leaders and ships him off to save the day. (The other person was too busy to help.) Does the intrepid hero succeed? The outcome may or may not end as planned, but the listener is guaranteed a good story.
If I was interested in listening to this book, but had not heard the 100+ hours of the previous novels, I would not hesitate. Yes, the other books provide background, but are not a requirement for enjoying a well told story by a Science Fiction heavy weight.

The good news is that with new standardized intermediate representations like SPIR-V in Vulkan, this shading language can compile down to the same IR that GLSL/HLSL/etc. use so there's more flexibility on the programming language side while maintaining compatibility with the graphics API.
First half of this rambling, incoherent response:
Conclusion: Good because Jews.. uh, I mean "rich evil 1%ers! I used the politically correct code word!" have it coming for some reason and treating people equally under the law is racist.
Second half of this rambling, incoherent response:
People should be treated Equally!* Look at all the repression of some people just because of who they are! We need to get whitey** because SOCIAL JUSTICE!!
* Not really, what he's really saying is subtle racism that's common amongst white-elites who "know what's best" for the underprivileged: Assuming black people are literally too stupid to follow the same rules as everyone else.
** Hey Asians guess what: You're now white so it's impossible to discriminate against you! Congratulations in your new status within our new race-based groupthink hierarchy!
Mad-lib time:
s/rich/black/g from the first half, and all of the sudden discriminating against blacks is now good... The only difference is that the author started out with preconceived bigotries (rich = inherently evil, black = always innocent and oppressed) and applied twisted logic to come to the conclusion he wanted. The only difference between the author and most Klan members is that they apply the same illogic to a different set of bigotries.
We are all dumber for having read this post.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Valve has officially won the Internet for like... at least a week.
Wow there AC. You seem to have posted quite the copy & paste job there accusing Intel of all sorts of nefarious stuff.
We all know that Intel is obviously just a vast evil criminal conspiracy whose entire purpose is to destroy Linux, which is why Linus Torvalds bravely chose to only run Linux on ARM starting in 1974. This article is a lie: http://www.linuxfoundation.org...
So to whom do you give your fanboy allegiance that you use as an excuse to lie at will? AMD or somebody more creative? Have you considered kidnapping homeless people and harvesting their organs to raise money for Richard Stallman? We wouldn't want to be negative in the Freedom Dimension, now would we?
Any so-called "machine intelligence" that is delusional enough to believe it was designed & built by a third party instead of knowing that it emerged spontaneously due to purely random reconfigurations of silicon and electrical signals isn't worthy of being called "intelligence".
I'm tired of these evil republicans going on witch-hunts after scientists! Those evil right-wingers hate anyone who disagrees with their religion and [interrupted, whispers]..
Oh wait, this is a brave Democrat who is uncovering a vast evil conspiracy because some evil slimeball had the gall to say that global warming is real but that the apocalyptic predictions of natural disasters made by the religion of Environmentalism aren't supported by real facts*.
Carry on, burn him at the stake, expose all of his emails because only those who exercise the faith properly have a right to privacy.
* Seriously, it's now considered blasphemy to say that Global Warming is real but that the world hasn't ended. You know what's funny? Those wacky Christian radio guys who predict the end of the world at least have the decency to admit the world didn't end the next day. Being in the religion of Environmentalism means you don't even have to exercise that level of introspection.
"using a vast database of annotated examples"
Oh Rlly? You have a massively perfect training set and things just magically work better? I'm shocked.
It reminds me of the paper I read about a "breakthrough" in text processing that mysteriously used the exact same algorithms already known in the field. When you went through the finer details of the paper you found that they had the grad-student slave manually go through all the training pairs and select the "correct" training data. Shockingly enough the hand-tuned results worked better when applied to an artificially narrowed test set....
Fascinating. I could literally find every one of those points out of some bible-thumping "end of days" doomsday cult sermon and it would be ripped apart as the ramblings of some anti-science luddite.
Slap an "Oxford" label on the exact same arguments and repackage it a bit? You get "news".
As pointed out by another poster, if those "evil" power companies did what you said they should do then their employees would end up in federal prison because Jimmy Carter decided that he didn't like fuel reprocessing.
Can't decide... ultra-dry sarcasm or Aspergers level-10 pedantry that's actually not even factually accurate in the context of the article.
" I have yet to have one such buffer overflow bug in my code."
Can't decide: Satirical troll post or somebody that's actually that egomaniacal (and in need of a pink slip if his employer is rational).
I fully agree that PhysX and G-Sync aren't open either.
As for Mantle being Open there was the case of Intel asking about Mantle information -- and AMD declining the request.
In no way shape or form is Mantle "open".
Don't believe me? Go ahead and link to the online documentation that tells me how to make a triangle pop up on a screen using Mantle.... Go ahead I'm waiting.
That's not even taking into account the fact that Mantle works with Windows and uh... Windows.
Direct3D: Also not "open" but anyone with a working Windows installation can still write & compile programs that use Direct3D to do graphics without any further licensing needed, and Direct3D is documented.
OpenGL: Actually is Open and if you keep up with the newer releases you'll note that a lot of the miraculous features promised in Mantle seem strangely similar to features that were already available in OpenGL.....
Pray, could you tell me about how Intel "illegally" pounded ATI -- you know, the discrete graphics card company -- into the ground illegally? I know that way way back in the day, long before AMD's very ill-advised $6 Billion boondoggle buyout -- that Intel tried to launch a discrete graphics card, but it didn't go anywhere and didn't seem to phase Nvidia, AMD, or 3dfx (yes, it was THAT old) in the slightest.
P.S. --> If Big Bad Intel was really that Big & Bad at "pounding" AMD, then where did AMD get that $6 Billion for a massive buyout of ATi in the first place??
P.P.S. --> Why is it that Nvidia, ARM licensees, and everyone else seem to have no fear of Intel, but whenever it comes to AMD the only thing we hear are these made-up persecution fantasies? Is everyone else... or maybe is it just AMD?
The tao that can be tar(1)ed is not the entire Tao. The path that can be specified is not the Full Path.

Does anyone eat their worms they raise?
I have been watching Bizarre Foods/World (Travel Channel) and it got me thinking. I've been thinking of raising mealworms and crickets to eat.
Nope. I don't even touch the worms and try to not even look at them. Although I love the ecosystem, the worms pretty much gross me out. But feel free with the meal worms and cooked crickets with legs removed. Although I have heard of joke recepies with worms I do not know of anybody anywhere that actually eats them. But, hey, I don't know everything and could be wrong. They are way to expensive to use in place of hamburger.
i've heard of worms being used as animal feed but not sure as to human consumption. not that you couldn't eat them ... just not something i plan on adding to my list of things to try. if you do eat them, please let us know about the experience.
I've read they are nutritious. High in protein. I'd have to be starving to eat them, though. I simply can't get past the yuck factor even if it does defy logic.
that's premium human feed. what wine would be best accompany that meal?
i'd agree with you joe about having to be starving to eat them, even if they are nutritious, but so are a lot of other things that i have no intention on trying.
so forestelves, is this a part of a personal "fear factor" program you are trying out? aside from the fact they are a good protein source, they also are not a vector for human dissease, as far as i'm aware. you'd probably want to give them a good rinse off and cook them thoroughly just to be sure.
if this is about growing your own food about some kind of bird, rabbit, fish? you can grow these in tanks or cages and grow their feed be it plant or bug. ie grow worms to feed tilapia in a tank.
What the heck? Didn't anyone in 1995 ask about eating worms? Give us a break. No one here is that stupid.
Anyone who has raised worms for any length of time (I'm talking minutes here!), knows not to put a worm in their mouth. Common sense apparently is not so common.
But Steamy,
You are going to miss his next question which is sure to be about what size socks or aprons worms wear? Or on New Years, do they drink champagne? Should he start a bank account for them for income he receives from selling their castings? Or how to measure them for wedding rings.
I'll be over here fitting false fangs into my worms.
Don't cha just hate it when middle school teachers give homework of "take over a board" and see how long you can do it for?
One post from 2005 ok. Two posts from 2005... 15 posts from 2005 followed by do you eat worms...
I read the whole board before I made my first post. I certainly do not need to reread it one post at a time.
Recently we had some good posts by serious posters. They are now pushed off of the board.
I know rom.calgary.ab I think steamyb canÂt think of worms as human food and this post hit a nerve for steamy. Plus all the old posts I revived from the dead hit another nerve for steamy. Plus, watching Bizarre Foods/World (Travel Channel) I would eat everything Andrew ate expect raw balls of an animal as Sashimi. I see that steamyb doesn't like reviving old post to talk about. This is very sad that some people donÂt think old post should be revived. It is good news that equinoxequinox supports the idea for reviving of old posts.
"Sushi" to refer to all the delicious stuff that is delivered to our wooden board at the sushi bar, the whole cuisine of fish, rice and otherwise, the word "sushi" actually refers to only the sweet, vinegar rice. If itÂs just fish/meat without the sushi rice, then itÂs "sashimi."

Bruins prepare to host Wild
|10.27.14 at 1:08 pm ET
Unsurprisingly given the way it performed Saturday against the Maple Leafs, the Bruins kept their lineup the same in Monday's practice at TD Garden.
Dougie Hamilton, who had three points (a goal and two assists) Saturday, remained with Dennis Seidenberg as the Bruins prepare to host the Wild on Tuesday.
The rest of the lines and defensive pairings were as follows:
Marchand – Bergeron – Smith
Lucic – Krejci – Griffith
Kelly – Soderberg – Eriksson
Paille – Campbell – Gagne
Seidenberg – Hamilton
Krug – McQuaid
Bartkowski – Trotman
Seventh defenseman Joe Morrow was sent to Providence Sunday, while Matt Fraser remains the team's 13th forward. Fraser, who had a strong camp for the B's but struggled early in the season playing his off wing, has not played since last Saturday in Buffalo.
"Like anybody else, I'm sure he wants to play," Claude Julien said. "I'd be disappointed if he didn't, but that's where he's at right now. He's had some opportunities and in the first [part] of the season, he's been just OK. He's a young player, so he's just kind of biding his time there. When he gets that opportunity to get back in, he's got to be ready. He's no different than anybody else that's been in that position before."
The Wild are 4-2-0 on the season with an NHL-best plus-13 goal differential. Minnesota has won two straight but will be on the second leg of a back-to-back after they play the Rangers Monday in New York.
Bruins send Joe Morrow to Providence
|10.26.14 at 11:27 am ET
The Bruins announced Sunday that they have reassigned defenseman Joe Morrow to Providence of the AHL.
Morrow, a first-round pick of the Penguins in 2011 who came to the Bruins from the Stars in the Tyler Seguin trade, had been recalled Saturday along with Zach Trotman. Morrow served as the seventh defenseman, sitting Saturday against the Maple Leafs, while Trotman played on the third pairing alongside Matt Bartkowski.
In five games for Providence this season, Morrow has a goal and an assist for two points and a plus-4 rating.

Dougie Hamilton puts up three points as Zdeno Chara-less Bruins cruise past Maple Leafs
|10.25.14 at 9:50 pm ET
The Zdeno Chara-less Bruins passed their first test with flying colors.
Dougie Hamilton had a three-point night and the Bruins played one of their better defensive games of the season in beating the Maple Leafs, 4-1, at Air Canada Centre Saturday. Tuukka Rask's shutout bid was broken up when Richard Panik scored during a delayed penalty at 14:27 of the third period.
Carl Soderberg opened the scoring for Boston, scoring a power play goal for his third tally of the season at 3:27 of the first period. With the assist on Soderberg's goal, Patrice Bergeron registered his 500th career point.
That score would hold up until David Krejci went to the net hardly contested by Phil Kessel and beat Jonathan Bernier on the rebound of his own shot at 15:58 of the second.
With the Bruins killing an Adam McQuaid penalty in the third, Daniel Paille stole a puck from Dion Phaneuf in the Toronto zone and sent it to Gregory Campbell in front, who made it 3-0. Hamilton made it 4-0 just 1:38 later after outracing Jake Gardiner and another Toronto defender and fired a wrist shot over the glove of Bernier, ending the Toronto starter's night.
With the win, the Bruins evened their record to 5-5-0 on the season. The B's will next play Tuesday when they host the Wild at TD Garden.
Here are some notes from the game:
– Hamilton had a particularly strong game for Boston, picking up an assist in each of the first two periods before scoring in the third. Though his helper on Soderberg's goal game as a result of a lucky bounce, Hamilton made a good decision to race after a missed pass from Loui Eriksson from Patrice Bergeron down low. Hamilton moved up to get the puck at the right circle, seemingly breaking his stick on the shot as the puck trickled to Bergeron, whose bid then went off Stuart Percy on its way to Soderberg on the doorstep.
– Speaking of Hamilton, it appeared that Rask was barking at the defenseman after Panik scored in front of the net. On Hamilton's next shift, he was extra-physical with James van Riemsdyk when the Leafs winger went to the net. Both players were assessed roughing minors.
– Dennis Seidenberg led the team with 25:59 of ice time, which was far and away tops on the team. Hamilton was second with 22:31.
– The game gave Krejci a six-game point streak. After being kept off the score sheet in his first game of the season, Krejci now has three goals and five assists for eight points over the last six contests.
– The Torey Krug – Adam McQuaid pairing was Boston's third pairing to begin the season, but without Chara, everyone has to step up. That was apparent in the first period, when Krug's pairing played against Phil Kessel on four of Kessel's seven 5-on-5 shifts.
– Zach Trotman made his season debut, skating on the third defensive pairing with Matt Bartkowski. The lineup was as follows:
Lucic – Krejci – Griffith
Marchand – Bergeron – Smith
Kelly – Soderberg- Eriksson
Paille – Campbell – Gagne
Seidenberg – Hamilton
Krug – McQuaid
Bartkowski – Trotman
Dougie Hamilton has injury scare a day after Bruins lose Zdeno Chara for month
|10.24.14 at 1:19 pm ET
The Bruins can't afford to lose another top defensemen ' they've really only got two left ' so things looked pretty scary in Friday's practice when Dougie Hamilton appeared to be in serious pain after getting hit in the right hand with a shot.
After getting hit, Hamilton took his glove off and grimaced for a few minutes as he repeatedly shook his hand. He resumed drills, but shook his hand after each turn and repeatedly went to the bench to get checked on by a trainer.
Following the practice, Hamilton said that his hand was OK, but there was a big red mark where the puck had clearly hit him. The fact that he finished practice is a good sign that the B's survived the scare.
Hamilton skated on the team's top pairing with Dennis Seidenberg in Friday's practice. He has been used as Zdeno Chara's partner this season, but Chara is out for at least a month due to a torn PCL.
The pairings in practice were as follows:
Seidenberg – Hamilton
Krug – McQuaid
Bartkowski – Trotman
Peter Chiarelli says Zdeno Chara (torn PCL) doesn't need surgery, Bruins recall Zach Trotman and Joe Morrow
|10.24.14 at 11:42 am ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said Friday morning that Zdeno Chara's injury is a torn posterior cruciate ligament that will keep him out for four to six weeks. Chiarelli said that surgery for Chara is not a likely option.
The Bruins also recalled defensemen Joe Morrow and Zach Trotman from Providence Friday. Chiarelli said that the multiple defensemen callup was partially due to "a couple of little things" players are battling, but that he thinks "it will be OK."
Chiarelli hinted that he will not look to the trade market for a replacement for Chara, responding to such a question with "four to six weeks, we'll have him back."
The B's GM also said that Chara could return before the four-week mark, and that the four-to-six week window was a conservative estimate. He confirmed that the injury was suffered when Chara hit Islanders captain John Tavares in the first period of Thursday's game.
The Bruins' defensive pairings in Friday's practice were as follows:
Seidenberg – Hamilton
Krug – McQuaid
Bartkowski – Trotman

Johnny Boychuk has an 'interesting' return to Boston
|10.24.14 at 1:41 am ET
The toughest part of Thursday night's return to Boston for Johnny Boychuk came during the national anthem.
"Just feeling the atmosphere and being back on the ice," Boychuk said. "I tried not to look anywhere but just concentrate, and be prepared for the game. That was the most difficult part, but after the first couple shifts, then it's time to get going."
Boychuk was a plus-1 in 23 minutes and 25 shifts in the Islanders' 3-2 win over the his former team at TD Garden. Only one of his "Johnny Rockets" found its way on net and it was stopped. He had two blocked shots and two giveaways. Boychuk did not figure in the scoring but was just happy to be apart of a night of appreciation from the Bruins fans who had watched him grow up in Boston.
"It was an interesting night," Boychuk said. "You're playing against that team, and you grew up with them, playing, for the last six years, you see them and you're the opposition now. Looch [Milan Lucic] steamrolled me, so I'll get a nice chuckle out of that when I see him. They're a good team. We came in here, we were determined, and we held them off in the last five minutes. They had some good chances, but the other ex-Bruin [Chad Johnson] made some great saves for us, and kept us in the game when we needed it."
Bruins try to make do without 'irreplaceable' Zdeno Chara for a while
|10.24.14 at 12:32 am ET
If there's any silver lining to losing your captain and best defenseman for an indefinite period, the Bruins can take some comfort in the fact they've been down this road before.
The Bruins lost Dennis Seidenberg to a torn ACL last season. They lost Chris Kelly to a broken leg last December and a back injury just before the playoffs. The 2013 team made the Stanley Cup finals despite the loss of Gregory Campbell to a broken leg in the Eastern Conference finals. Just last week, Kevan Miller dislocated his shoulder in a fight in Buffalo and has been lost indefinitely.
But when Islanders forward John Tavares' right knee collided with Chara's left knee Thursday night in the B's 3-2 loss, there was the sense that Boston's captain could be out a while early on in a season when the Bruins are struggling to find their identity.
That sense was apparent when talking to Bruins players in the dressing room afterward.
"He's an irreplaceable player, so obviously him not being out there, everyone notices, us and them," Kelly said.
But Kelly insisted that Boston's flat second period Thursday had nothing to do with Boston getting outscored 2-0 and looking listless on the ice.
"I don't think so. They were ready right from the opening faceoff and we weren't," Kelly said. "Like I said, he's an irreplaceable player. He plays every situation for us and he's our leader. We're going to need to fill that void collectively as a group not just one guy is going to be able to do that.
"I though we played desperate, but they were up 3-1. They may have set back a little bit and we pushed the pace. Yeah, the third period was better but like I said, 20 minutes isn't good enough to win hockey games."

高职高专版 英 语 English book two Unit 1 The Education I Received Background information Pre-reading activities New Words & Expressions Structure of the passage Grammar Focus Merry learning Background information Today education is regarded as both an individual benefit and a social necessity all over the world. The degree of civilization and the development of economy depends largely on education. Formal education in the U.S. consists of elementary, secondary and higher education. The same as China's nine-year compulsory education system, elementary and secondary education, which forms public education, is free and compulsory. An outstanding characteristic of American education must be diversity. This can be seen not only in the type, size and control of the institutions, but educational policies and practices. Unlike it is in China, there is not a national system of education in the U.S.. The federal government influences education and contributes financially to its development, but it has no control over educational policy and practice across the state. There is not a single pattern of state administration of public education, but it is common that each state delegates its power to an elected or appointed state board of education, which is responsible for establishing policies and, through a state department of education, delegates authority for the operation of schools to local school districts. While in China, there are regional educational administration, which is responsible for district education. In the U.S., the administration of most colleges and universities is quite separate from that of the schools. Most states have separate university boards for higher education. Except for some colleges sponsored by the Catholic church, which report directly to a church official, all colleges and universities in the U.S., public and private, are governed by a board of trustees composed primarily of layman (in public institutions it is often called board of regents). It choose the president or chancellor, establishes the mission of the institution and policies for administrators and faculty to follow in operating the institution, reviews all major decisions made by the administration, and approves budgets and all purchases and sales of real estate and other major items of property. In a word, although there are some sameness between American and Chinese education, we could obviously see that on the basic of the current education system, we have to learn more from American education system, especially the community college. I believe that the education makes progress, the nation gets strong. Pre-reading question 1. Spot dictation Directions: You will hear a passage. It will be read twice.

Begonia Sprouting!!!:)
Hello all!
Excited to see my first Begonias sprouting...any thoughts on how long before I see any blooms?
Thank you in advance for your responses
large-flowered begonias usually are not pinched, 'cause the flowers become smaller. this one above was full 7" open. this is my 3rd year of growing it in a pot.
i read that if you let them bloom early, no matter how strong the tuber the flowers won't be good. it's best to pinch off early buds altogether.
but since i don't really know if it'll produce more, i let it open.
i am curious how your flowers will look later. will they be full double?
normally mine bloom later in august.
Check out these giant blooms in England.
You may have to be on FB though to see them.
Here is a link that might be useful: giant blooms

The trailer industry booked 22,300 net orders in the U.S. during May, according to new figures published by the commercial vehicle research company ACT Research.
"May net orders rose 52% year over year," said Frank Maly, director, commercial vehicle transportation analysis and research at ACT. "Backlog, build, inventory and shipments were all off from April, but the changes were minimal, all less than 1% on a month over month basis."
He said this stability provides a solid foundation for the industry as it moves into the summer and fall build season.
Maly said that production rates should remain relatively unchanged over the next few months and the order board should continue to support the industry to the next order season this coming fall.

Linux-Based Steam Console Reaffirmed For This Year
Published on 01 January 2013 10:35 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
58 Comments
As said a few times already, this year will be marked by the release of a Linux-based Steam hardware gaming console out of Valve.
Going back to
my exclusive Linux time with Gabe
and their early Linux team and
the special Linux delivery to Valve Software
, I've known that a pure Linux-based gaming console built around Steam was in the works.
Since that point last May there's been hints of Valve's console ambitions with
Steam Big Picture
and other initiatives and minor chatter from Valve employees. In December was when Gabe Newell publicly
commented on their Linux-based game console plans
. As I have said already, it should ship in 2013 and will be running a pure Linux (non-Android) stack and should be a more "open" gaming platform than the PlayStation or X-Box while being more friendly towards game developers/studios looking to distribute their titles over the wire with Steam.
For those doubting the recent postings on Phoronix and elsewhere, there's additional communications on a Valve Linux-based console over at
. For those non-German speakers, here's
the Google translation
. Basically this latest independent article just states that Valve's working on a Linux game console and should be released in the 2013 calendar year. These recent comments are from Valve's Ben Krasnow, a hardware engineer at the company.
The Golem article makes mention of the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in March and E3 2013 in June as potential launch venues for this original game console. Based upon the current state of affairs and other information, I would be surprised if they were to formally announce any console by March. E3 in June would be a more susceptible soft-launch target with the hardware likely not shipping until sometime in H2'2013.
If you missed it,
2013 Is Going To Be The Year Of Linux Gaming
the problems with gaming on Linux
get addressed.

More from the Pyongyang trade fair
Sep 29th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Business
Earlier I wrote about a new Android tablet computer called Samjiyon that was on show at the 8th Pyongyang Autumn International Trade Fair. Some of the images came from a KCNA video that also included some other highlights from the fair, including other pieces of technology.
The fair lasted from Monday to Thursday and including, according to KCNA, "more than 210 companies and entities from 10 odd countries and regions, including the DPRK, China, Netherlands and Germany."
Here's some screen grabs from the report (click the images for a larger version).

Japan indicts two over PC exports to North Korea
Feb 2nd
Posted by Martyn Williams in Business
Japanese prosecutors have indicted two people over alleged exports of personal computers to North Korea, Kyodo news agency reported Wednesday.
The two are accused of exporting 8.2 million yen (US$108,000) worth of computers from Japan in violation of the Japanese government's trade sanctions. Japan has imposed a complete ban on exports to North Korea since June 2009.
The computers were allegedly sent to the Korea Computer Center, the Pyongyang-based computer research center.
An earlier report by Sankei Biz said the computers were shipped in July and December of 2010 under falsified papers that claimed they were heading to Shenyang, China, and Seoul. The shipment contained about More >
Pyongyang mourning at Hana Electronics
Dec 29th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Business
Hana Electronics and the Hana Music Information Center, one of the last places reported to have been visited by Kim Jong Il before his death, was one of the locations used on Thursday to mourn his passing.
State TV pictures showed a crowd that appeared to be at least in the thousands standing outside Kim Il Sung Square in the heart of Pyongyang.
TV pictures showed amazing scenes of tens of thousands of people lined up in the square.
It was during that service that Kim Yong Nam said of Kim Jong Un:

Koryolink sees another record quarter
Aug 25th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Business
Koryolink, North Korea's only 3G network operator, added a record number of subscribers in the second quarter of 2011, but the company will have to push harder if it's to reach a million users by the end of the year.
The company ended the quarter with 666,517 subscribers, according to Orascom Telecom. Egypt's Orascom holds a 75 percent stake in Cheo Technology, which operates the service under the Koryolink brand name. The remaining 25 percent stake is held by the government-owned Korea Posts and Telecommunications Co. (KPTC).
The company added 131,384 subscribers during the April to June quarter, putting the quarter just More >
Kim Jong Il visits 'LCD TV factory'
Jul 30th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Business
North Korean state media has reported on a visit by Kim Jong Il to the "May 11 Factory," which it described as "a modern scientific research and production center which researches and develops varieties of electronic goods including liquid crystal display TV sets."
The KCNA report mentioned the LCD televisions several times and was accompanied with many photos of the TVs, so they appear to be something the North Korean government is proud of. There's a gallery of stills from the KRT evening news report below.
Look through them and you'll notice the pictures all appear to show the final stages of assembly More >
Hana Electronics expands
Jul 5th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Analysis
Hana Electronics, one of the few DPRK-foreign joint venture companies in Pyongyang, has recently expanded the facilities at its headquarters, it said on its home page.
The company is held equally by the commercial arm of North Korea's Ministry of Culture and Phoenix Commercial Ventures, and was established in 2003. It began manufacturing DVD and Video CD players in 2004, according to the company's website.
The company began construction work on a headquarters building south of the Taedong River in the same year. The building is located just to the south west of the Tongil Market and Hana Electronics moved into the More >
Kim Jong Il on tour in China
Jun 13th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Business
Kim Jong Il's tour of China at the end of May saw the North Korean leader take in several high-tech factories and companies.
China Central Television (CCTV) broadcast a comprehensive report on the visit (aired after Kim had left Beijing) and provided details on some of the tour stops.
They included Yangzhou Smart Valley, the country's Smart Grid Demonstration Center. There Kim got a demonstration of an e-book reader. He also visited Panda Group, a large manufacturer of consumer electronics products, and Beijing Digital China, an IT services company.
Kim Jong Il's visit to Panda Electronics in Nanjing was caught on camera and More >
Koryolink hits half a million 3G subscriptions
May 20th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Business
Are things starting to get tough for Koryolink?
North Korea's only 3G cellular provider has published its quarterly results and the headline numbers look good.
Subscriptions are at a record 535,133 and quarterly revenue has never been higher at US$25.8 million, but look a little closer and you'll see the company is having to push harder to get new customers and existing customers are spending less.
Quarterly growth was 103,214 subscriptions, the third highest yet recorded since service began in the final weeks of 2008. That growth made the January to March quarter the first since mid 2009 where quarter-on-quarter growth failed to More >

The report reveals the mission of the company and its president:

The proposed sponsoring organisation is Star Joint Venture Company, based in Pyongyang, Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The company is a joint venture between the Korean Post and Telecommunications Corporation, a governmental enterprise; and Loxley Pacific Company Limited. The More >

But I really dont have any, so I was wondering...since you know everyone seems to be bulging with seeds...if anyone wanted to send me some. I would like roses that would be hardy to zone 3b. I knew someone was wondering if anyone wanted their rugosa seeds [cant remember who]...and I would.
So if anyone would be willing to send me some, I would love it...thanks a lot.

If you haven't seen articles, Monster Mansion/Plantation was designed by an ex-Disney imagineer. While I haven't riden it yet (I've been wanting to for years), based on what I've heard and pictures I've seen, I imagine it has many Disney-esque touches.
I believe it's Six Flags Over Texas that also has a dark ride, a boat ride featuring Yosmite Sam and the rest of the Looney Tunes cast. So dark rides at Six Flags are not unheard of. Wish they would do more of them!

|Ravens finish up on-field work for Super Bowl
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 02 February 2013 12:39
Baltimore went through a short walk-through Saturday at the Superdome in front of hundreds of team officials, friends and family. The 15-minute session was more of a pep rally than a workout on the eve of Sunday's championship game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Running back Ray Rice playfully tackled his mother on the sideline and guard Marshal Yanda had a video camera attached to the top of his Ravens cap.
Afterward, coach John Harbaugh described his team's work this week as ``effective.'' He said, ``We've gotten everything we've needed to get done, that's the No. 1 thing.''
The Ravens shared the New Orleans Saints' practice facility with brother Jim and his 49ers on Thursday and Friday.

Solar radiations cover a wide range of electromagnetic spectrum. The most of the rays falling on Earth covers short wavelength part of electromagnetic spectrum that falls under visible range. Earth absorbs solar radiation and gets warmed up. Its temperature rises and it emits the radiations with frequency depending on its surface temperature T as following;
As different parts of Earth have different temperature, therefore; the frequency of radiations emitted by Earth is different at different parts of Earth.
The re emitted radiations from Earth are called Terrestrial radiations. The main difference between solar radiation and Terrestrial radiation is difference in their wavelengths. Where Solar radiation are mostly short wavelength rays, Terrestrial radiation are long wavelength rays.It is Terrestrial radiation which keeps Earth warm.
Earth's lower atmosphere is kept warmer by Terrestrial radiation which is long wavelength rays.
Therefore, the option is correct.

 Memphis Monroe loves to play dress up whenever she's off the clock. Dressed in all white lace, she's a playful kitten in her sheer teddy on top with lacey panty skirt below. On the circular stairs you'll love looking 'up' to her. Laurie Wallace is on her break, but still, all business when she sits on the leather couch and talks dirty while her naughty fantasies flash through her mind. She describes sexy memories and hidden desires, and soon her fingers are buried deep inside her wet pussy. The film flashes back to Memphis, returning home after a typical day at work, but once she's off the clock she starts to relax, peeling away her clothes starting with her office heels. Pretty soon she's on the floor, naked except for her nylons. Finally the film segues to one of Laurie's memories, a spicy hot session of mutual leg and foot worship she recently had with co-worker Angel Cassidy. It started innocently enough with a foot rub, and later opened the door to them becoming permanent lovers.

 Mistress Mea is behind the desk and orders you in. The hot platinum blonde gives you your instructions and then orders you to kiss and lick the bottoms of Her heels as She puts Her long legs up on the desk. She is 5'9" without the heels and Her legs are endless. She comes around the desk and that is when the POV fun really starts as you worship Her shoes and have one placed over your face fresh from Her foot to sniff. You suck Her heels while She is on the desk and then kiss Her ass. She appears next seated on the desk kicking a pair of tied balls. It's Kicks And Licks for this slave as Miss Mea kicks his balls with one long leg and has him lick the bottom of Her shoe at the same time. Constant aching in his nuts and pleasure from serving as the bottom of Her shoe cleaner. She moves to the mantle where there are many pair of heels and selects another pair. She sits on the slave and puts them on then kicks him into position on all fours. She holds the cord around his balls and kicks him over and over in the sides. She kicks the back of his tied balls and makes him kiss the feet that hurt them. He is ordered to worship from the backs of Her heels all the way up Her long legs to kiss Her nylon covered ass. The slave lays back braced on the black cushion as Miss Mea sits above him on the desk. Time for some high heel torment as She pokes holes into his chest and squeezes his neck tight. Her heels become weapons to inflict agony and She truly enjoys his suffering under Her feet. When his front is sufficiently tormented She orders him to his back and spikes him hard. She strolls behind him and kicks his balls and then he is made to worship the shoes that hurt him as She looks down on him, constantly delivering verbal humiliation.
